Chapter 25: Under the Shadow of the Prison

Sandra arrived at Tiago's house under cover of night, the salty ocean air caressing her skin as she walked toward the door. Tiago greeted her with a warm smile, his eyes shining with anticipation and desire. After João Neto fled, they no longer needed to hide. He didn't even care if João Neto could arrive at any moment. They were free to live their love.

As the night progressed, they exchanged tender words and caresses, lost in a world of passion and lust. Sandra allowed herself to succumb to Tiago's seduction, letting herself be carried away by the promise of pleasure and comfort in his arms. Having someone to share that story with eased the burden. It's good that I had someone to count on. I knew I wouldn't be able to handle such betrayal alone.
