00:00:00A year ago, Sandra buried her husband trying to come to terms with the pain of the loss.
00:00:05One day, while walking through a street market in the city, he saw a homeless man using a finger on his finger
00:00:11The one-of-a-kind ring she had given her husband before his death. Her heart skipped a beat. How
00:00:18Could that man have that jewel? Without a second thought, Sandra decided to follow him. But when
00:00:25The homeless man entered a luxurious office in the city center; Sandra froze.
00:00:33Welcome to the Story Corner channel. I'm Leo. Before we begin, please write
00:00:39Where are you watching from? We love to know. How much longer will you continue to grieve?
00:00:45"Ridiculous?" asked Renata, indignant, the sister of Sandra's late husband. "Don't you ever get tired of making yourself look ridiculous?"
00:00:53The suffering widow? Why do you speak like that? Sandra replied, hurt. I really am a widow and I loved your
00:00:59Brother. You have to keep going, Renata said, and you go to the cemetery like it's a job.
00:01:06"I'm following you," Sandra replied calmly. "What I don't understand are these attacks."
00:01:12Yours. Of course you don't understand, Renata smiled ironically. My brother was from the elite, a man
00:01:20She was intelligent, she knew how to make money, and you're just a kindergarten teacher, with the intelligence
00:01:26Just enough to finish any little course. Sandra turned around, irritated. That dialogue with her sister-in-law
00:01:33It had been happening for some time. Renata was a tough person, even rude. The whole family
00:01:41She was distinguished by her arrogance. The mother-in-law didn't even pretend that her daughter-in-law existed. She ignored
00:01:48It completed their marriage. Daniel had convinced her not to worry about it.
00:01:55In general, they lived well, comfortably. The husband had businesses and easily covered their modest expenses.
00:02:01Sandra's needs were met, and only Renata's infrequent visits upset them. The sister
00:02:09Her husband hadn't liked Sandra from the first day. The encounter had happened somewhere
00:02:15restaurant. Renata looked her up and down and frowned. She blurted out that the girl wasn't a girlfriend.
00:02:23for her brother. Sandra was so hurt she wanted to cry. It was her first serious relationship. She wanted
00:02:30She was welcomed by her husband's family, but it had all started off on the wrong foot. That morning,
00:02:37Sandra was devastated again after her conversation with Renata. And to make matters worse, it was on the anniversary of his death.
00:02:44Daniel's husband had died in a car accident. In that terrible collision, she
00:02:51He appeared to have lost everything. After the impact, there was a fire. Nothing remained for identification.
00:02:59After some time, Daniel was buried in a closed coffin. Sandra continued living in the
00:03:05in their department, barely managing to get by on her modest teacher's salary. Now she was preparing
00:03:12To go to the open-air market. I wanted to buy fresh flowers to take to the cemetery. The money
00:03:18She was short on cash, but she never skimped when it came to honoring her husband's memory. She had even ordered a
00:03:25Sandra walked slowly past a marble tombstone, selling her only valuable jewel, her mother's earrings.
00:03:32between the stalls, looking for cheaper flowers. Usually at that time, there were many ladies.
00:03:39selling bouquets cut from their own gardens. But today, there were few vendors. Suddenly,
00:03:46The figure of a homeless man appeared before her. A disheveled, middle-aged man had the
00:03:54outstretched hand. She began searching in her purse to give him alms, looked at his hand and remained
00:04:00paralyzed. On the homeless man's ring finger, there was a ring she knew like the back of her hand.
00:04:07But there was no second one like it. Sandra had commissioned that gold jewel for the fifth.
00:04:13their anniversary together, with a design she made herself. After all, it wasn't over.
00:04:19The art school was useless. Daniel had worn the ring without taking it off for almost six months.
00:04:26until her death. The jewelry was not found at the accident site. In fact,
00:04:32Almost nothing remained there. And now she saw that familiar jewel on the finger of a stranger.
00:04:40Sandra looked at his face, and the stranger suddenly became flustered, turned around, and hurried away.
00:04:46from the open-air market. Forgetting her intention to buy flowers, Sandra followed him. Contrary to what
00:04:53She waited; the homeless man didn't get lost in alleyways. He walked toward the bus stop. She followed him.
00:05:00hiding behind a billboard. Soon a truck arrived heading downtown
00:05:07of the city. The homeless man went upstairs without hesitation. Sandra also went up through the back door. The man
00:05:14The older woman didn't notice. The journey was long, to a place she almost never went. It was an area
00:05:21A sophisticated commercial area, with office towers and luxurious corporate buildings. The homeless man got off the bus.
00:05:28Sandra followed, and then something incredible happened. That ragged old man came in.
00:05:36He calmly walked into a corporate building of glass and concrete. He greeted the security guards.
00:05:42With complete confidence, she headed towards the elevator. Sandra ran after her, seizing the moment when
00:05:49that the security guards were distracted by a group of foreign tourists who mistook the building
00:05:55with a museum. He checked which floor he went up to, and from the signs, that's where it was.
00:06:02A construction company's office. Sandra waited for another elevator and got on too. She was too curious.
00:06:10to simply leave. On the right floor, he tried to get his bearings. There were hardly any doors, and only one
00:06:17It was ajar. He approached. Through the crack, he managed to see what was happening inside. There were three in the office.
00:06:24People. A man in an expensive suit, with his back to the door. A striking young woman in a dress.
00:06:32red and the homeless man himself. The homeless man placed a filthy bag on a sturdy wooden table,
00:06:39and began pulling bundles of banknotes out of it. At one point, the man in the suit walked away from the
00:06:46She looked out the window and sat down in the armchair. Sandra lost her balance. It was her own dead husband. Daniel
00:06:53He was smiling and seemed very content with life. "Good job, Chema," he said cheerfully.
00:07:00No one is going to suspect a homeless person who is actually a messenger collecting money from
00:07:06clandestine sales points. "My love, all that is very well, but how much longer are we going to
00:07:13"Wait?" the stranger in red asked impatiently, sitting on Daniel's lap. "When
00:07:20Are we going to get rid of your annoying boss? And when is Mrs. Elena going to stop bothering me?
00:07:26Mom has been exaggerating the way she treats me for a while now. I'm fed up with it. "Be patient,
00:07:33"My love," Daniel said tenderly. "My sister and my mom know about the plan. I can't trust anyone else."
00:07:39If it hadn't been for them, it wouldn't have been possible to fake my death. That's how everything was cleaned up.
00:07:46And that's settled. I got rid of the boring, barren wife. We'll soon conclude the business. We'll poison her.
00:07:53to the owner of the company. And you know he trusts me like a son. So we'll stay.
00:07:59with
00:07:59"The whole business." The girl kissed Daniel passionately. Sandra stepped back into the shadows. Then
00:08:07She lunged for a staircase and ran out. She wanted to erase what she had seen from her memory.
00:08:13including the irritating sign with the name Daniel Barbosa. I was trying to find some
00:08:18a logical explanation for what was happening, knowing full well that the police wouldn't listen to her.
00:08:24And she also imagined the taunts from Daniel's sister. They could easily call her crazy after the
00:08:31The husband's death. He probably had very well-forged documents and could prove that
00:08:37Being her husband wouldn't be easy. Going out into the street, Sandra left on foot. She was indifferent to everything.
00:08:45The idea of going to the cemetery now only provoked a nervous laugh. Throughout that year they had
00:08:52mocked her. The husband's sister and mother-in-law shamelessly humiliated her, knowing
00:08:58She was absolutely certain that Daniel was alive. All of this shook the woman, already exhausted by the
00:09:05Grief and tears. The next day, a new blow awaited her. Sandra went to work but didn't...
00:09:13They let her into the classroom and sent her straight to the principal. Intrigued, the teacher went to the
00:09:19The boss's office. Catalina looked guilty. At first, the reason wasn't clear.
00:09:26Pereira, it's good you came like that, without a fuss. Well, you're fired for being unsuitable for the position.
00:09:31"You're in position," the director announced. "What happened?" Sandra slumped in her chair, trying to process what had just happened.
00:09:39I was listening. I work well. Someone complained about me. An anonymous statement arrived saying that his title
00:09:46"It was bought," the director frowned. "And I'm not going to dwell on that. How absurd! My degree is in..."
00:09:54"The register," Sandra protested. "Look, Pereira," the director sighed. "You're a good employee."
00:10:01That's why I'm going to be frank. A woman came here, the head of the regional delegation of COFEPRIS,
00:10:07And he threatened the school with inspections and me with dismissal. The condition was only one,
00:10:12Get her out of here. I'm sorry, but my position is more important to me. It took me 10 years to get here.
00:10:20Here. I understand. Don't worry, Sandra agreed. Can I resign? Well, I think
00:10:29That can be fixed. They're unlikely to check it, the director winked. What
00:10:35They just want you to leave. So write the application and you'll receive your severance pay.
00:10:42Sandra obeyed everything they asked of her. She left the kindergarten with her belongings, knowing very well
00:10:49that the husband's family wouldn't stop there. The regional delegation of COFEPRIS was led
00:10:56Precisely because of Renata. And they had some reason for wanting to destroy her, to ruin her life completely.
00:11:04Sandra understood that she would have to solve everything on her own. The first thing she decided was to find that
00:11:09Homeless. Apparently, working for Daniel didn't please the old man at all. Sandra remembered his gaze
00:11:17that the older gentleman had thrown at the husband in the office. It had nothing to do with adoration. And Sandra
00:11:24He decided to use that man as a source of information. He went to the open-air market, but locating the homeless man proved difficult.
00:11:32It took several days. Finally, he managed to find him there. He approached him and said, "We need to talk about Daniel."
00:11:40Barbosa and his magical resurrection. Not here, the homeless man paled. And where? Sandra asked. Know that I know.
00:11:49What does he do? The office thing and the faked death too. Come with me. It'll be more
00:11:56"It's easier to show her than to explain," sighed the homeless man. He led her three blocks from the market.
00:12:03toward the hallway of an apartment building. He opened one on the first floor and shouted from the
00:12:08Hallway. Marquiño, we have a visitor, don't be scared. Okay, grandpa, replied a small child's voice.
00:12:15"Come in, you don't need to take off your shoes," said the homeless man, looking embarrassed. "You can call me Don Chema."
00:12:24"And I am Sandra," the woman introduced herself, the legitimate wife, or rather, the widow of her boss.
00:12:32"I wish she hadn't gotten involved with him," sighed Don Chema. "He's a terrible person. Too late for that."
00:12:38"Warning," she sighed. "And what do you have to do with Daniel? Just so you know, I'm going to the police."
00:12:46Please, don't do that, miss. The old man unexpectedly fell to his knees. I can't go to jail.
00:12:53I have a grandson. He is disabled. I have no one else. His parents died when Marquiño was
00:13:01"Little one. But doesn't the DIF have anything to say about the fact that you're living in poverty?" he asked.
00:13:07Sandra. It's not real, the homeless man sighed. It's just a disguise, a facade. I can't refuse.
00:13:16That Daniel and his foster sister Renata set me up. Look, miss, I only
00:13:24She wanted to treat her grandson. There is hope, but she needs a lot of money. And that brother and sister offered to
00:13:31I gave it to him, but not for free. As collateral, I had to put this apartment in Daniel's name.
00:13:38But the money never arrived. I was left without a home and without treatment for my grandson. Why didn't he go to
00:13:44the
00:13:44Police? Sandra didn't understand. Who would believe me? No, miss. I'm the old fool. It's my fault.
00:13:52"Mine," sighed Don Chema. "And that's how I ended up enslaved by that Daniel. With the slightest thing..."
00:13:58He doesn't like it, he threatens to throw my grandson and me out on the street. And for Marquiño, that means a
00:14:05alone
00:14:05"Thing, the shelter. I understand. And where did that ring come from?" Sandra asked. "This one?" the homeless man smiled.
00:14:15It's a kind of sign. That ring is how they recognize me at the places where they pay dues. Daniel said no.
00:14:21I was going
00:14:22to use one of those trinkets, which was below his status, but for me it was perfect.
00:14:28Look, I still believe everything can be fixed. Sandra tried to cheer him up. I'm going to try to help him.
00:14:35And while I'm at it, I'll solve my own problems. Be careful, my dear, sighed Don Chema. I'll manage.
00:14:43Somehow. What really worries me is Marquiño. At that time, a boy of about six
00:14:50She entered the room in a wheelchair. She smiled kindly at the visitor and approached the
00:14:56Grandfather. Sandra's heart tightened. She understood perfectly that the old man had resigned himself to his
00:15:05His own destiny had long since been decided, and all his self-assuredness was pure facade. In any case
00:15:12In that way, action was necessary. Being unemployed for a long time was out of the question.
00:15:19Something had to be done about it. The information about the planned poisoning of the new boss
00:15:25It worried her too, and ignoring it was simply out of the question. That's why she decided to find out.
00:15:32more about that man and get as close to him as possible. There was enough information about him
00:15:38The owner of the construction company, Gustavo Lacerda, was a well-known man in the city. He was raising one child on his own.
00:15:45teenage daughter named Serena. In recent years, however, the girl was kept away from
00:15:51The spotlights. The father clearly didn't want to risk his safety. Sandra studied carefully.
00:15:58Serena's social media. That's how the company heiress liked to present herself.
00:16:04The young Lacerda was clearly trying to appear mature and independent. She complained about despotism.
00:16:11Her father lived a life of luxury. But in the girl's eyes, insecurity shone through. And she was
00:16:18She was very lonely. No family members commented on her posts. Her posts were ridiculed.
00:16:25or simply ignored. At first, Sandra considered working as a cleaner at the company.
00:16:33de la Cerda or in another role. But suddenly, she discovered that he was looking for a domestic worker.
00:16:39to her house. She called and scheduled an interview. La Cerda sent a car. And overall, it seemed quite
00:16:47He seemed reasonable over the phone. He didn't disappoint in person either. The businessman was around 50 years old.
00:16:55She had been widowed young. He looked tired, but even so, he was doing much better than Daniel in his attempts.
00:17:02of imitating a life of luxury. "It's great that she has a teaching background," Lacerda said with a certain
00:17:08discomfort. "Look, most of the time we need someone versatile, for cleaning,
00:17:15to take care of the dishes. And also someone to live permanently in the house. I work a lot.
00:17:22And my daughter is always alone. Of the permanent staff, we only have a cook who comes in on a rotating schedule.
00:17:29agreed upon." "But her daughter is a teenager," Sandra reflected. "I've worked with young children. In general,
00:17:38You learn to work with children of all ages and to understand their psychology, but only then
00:17:44"I'm warning you." "That's exactly what I'm talking about," agreed Gustavo, who immediately asked that
00:17:50She would only call him by his name. "Serena doesn't let anyone get close. She always has secrets."
00:17:56typical of adolescence. And I, of course, am public enemy number one." I'd be much more at ease knowing
00:18:04She's not alone at home. The previous assistant left five months ago, and since then no one has been there.
00:18:12She had managed to pass the probationary period. "Okay, I'll give it a try," Sandra agreed. "I'm just asking that
00:18:19"Don't react immediately to her words," Gustavo said. "Serena can be very unfiltered sometimes." "Understood."
00:18:27Sandra agreed. "By the way, here are my references. It doesn't matter." "Honestly,
00:18:35"There are no other suitable candidates at this time," the pig shook her head. And Sandra breathed a sigh of relief.
00:18:41relieved. She had carefully crafted the references the day before and was happy that
00:18:47No one was going to check them. The credential wasn't a cause for concern either. It was brand new.
00:18:54without a marriage certificate. During her preparations to infiltrate the businessman's house, Sandra
00:19:00She had reclaimed her maiden name. In that previous life, she and Daniel were both Pereira. Now
00:19:08He used the surname Barbosa, and she resumed her birth surname, the one that appeared on the title.
00:19:15"Monteiro." With that, the woman seemed to have awakened from a dream in which she had lived for a long time.
00:19:21Last year. It was Sandra Pereira who bore the burden of mourning and had cried until she was completely drained.
00:19:28Tears. Her new identity involved colorful t-shirts, jeans, short hair, and bleached streaks.
00:19:36and even eye makeup. She started working that same day. She took three bags of
00:19:43belongings to the businessman's house, without taking anything that reminded him of the marriage, which had
00:19:48It turned out to be a farce. He settled into a small but very cozy room on the ground floor of the
00:19:54home. The very next morning, he was finally able to meet his pupil. "Then Dad got new
00:20:02"Girl," smiled the troubled girl, coming downstairs in her pajamas for breakfast. "Just so you know, it's no use."
00:20:09"Spying on me for him." And the room only works when I'm there. "No problem," Sandra agreed. "What a moment
00:20:17"Is that better for you?" "How should I know?" Serena protested. "What's your name?" "Sa," Sandra introduced herself.
00:20:25just as she had done with Gustavo the day before, mentally thanking her mother
00:20:30because of the name's versatility for shortening. "And do you go to school or study at home?" "What name
00:20:37"So ridiculous? It sounds like a little girl's nickname," the girl summarized. "I'm staying home." As if she needed to
00:20:45Sitting around all day with those idiots in the classroom. "Okay, then just give me the
00:20:51"Cleaning instructions whenever you deem it necessary," Sandra replied. "Stop using the informal 'tú' with me."
00:20:58"Excuse me, I need to work," Sandra smiled politely and left the kitchen.
00:21:06Throughout the day, Serena tried to provoke her a few more times, but Sandra didn't react.
00:21:14She was simply fulfilling her duties, gradually becoming familiar with the layout of the house. In the afternoon,
00:21:21Gustavo praised her. The cook, Vero, also turned out to be pleasant, a young woman of his age or more.
00:21:28Less so. They got along well and even had coffee together. The days went by, one similar to the other.
00:21:35Sandra was waiting for a moment to talk to Gustavo about the danger he was in, but for now that
00:21:41The opportunity didn't appear. The owner was rarely home, arrived late at night, and ate a quick dinner.
00:21:50Vero would get everything ready and go up to the second floor. But one day, everything changed. Gustavo warned that
00:21:58That night they would receive visitors. Sandra's duties included serving the dishes that would be
00:22:05ready at that time. She accepted silently, not expecting any surprises. But while she was picking up the
00:22:12"Breakfast dishes," the cook grumbled. "Not being able to make seafood again, and the boss loves it."
00:22:19That unpleasant Daniel must be coming. Does he have any allergies? Are you sure? Sandra asked.
00:22:26Turning pale. From what? From allergies? Río Vero. I'm not a doctor.
00:22:34But no, I meant, are you sure those are the guests? Sandra asked, worried. Because of the
00:22:40"It seems so," Vero shrugged. "It's your first time. It's normal to be nervous."
00:22:46Yes, I'm afraid of not pleasing the wealthy guests, Sandra confirmed. They're generally not much more than that.
00:22:54"Special ones than our Serena," smiled the cook. "Perhaps even more enjoyable, to be honest."
00:23:00That girl is driving me crazy with her whims. How do you manage to live with her under the same roof?
00:23:07"I don't know, for now it's normal," Sandra shrugged. That night, Sandra was more nervous than
00:23:14as usual. The change in appearance had radically transformed her, and instead of the woman
00:23:20plump and healthy-looking with a bun, the mirror now reflected a blonde with hair
00:23:26Short hair with well-defined cheekbones. Sandra had barely noticed recently that she had lost weight.
00:23:33Quite a bit during the last year, but I was still afraid of being recognized. The solution was quite
00:23:40Simple. He pretended to be sick, put on a surgical mask, covering his face completely.
00:23:46She served the guests quickly, bringing snacks and drinks. Gustavo glanced at her from time to time.
00:23:54But she made no comment. Later, after everyone had left, Sandra explained that she had a severe allergy.
00:24:01And that the face mask was to prevent a crisis. Why didn't he tell me before? I wouldn't have showered.
00:24:09"It smells like perfume," the businessman blushed. "It doesn't work with all scents," Sandra said. "Hers is one of the..."
00:24:16that don't affect me, but certain women's perfumes trigger an immediate crisis in me, so when I found out that
00:24:23Women were coming, so I put on my face mask. I understand, Gustavo smiled. In general, nobody noticed.
00:24:32Strange. And how are things going? Did you manage to reach some kind of agreement with my daughter? Well, we have a
00:24:39"A truce," Sandra smiled. "That, by the way, is more than usual with Serena," the boss replied.
00:24:46You might even have made a good impression on her. I wouldn't risk that much, Sandra smiled again. Her daughter isn't
00:24:53The kind that shows genuine feelings. I understand. Gustavo massaged his temples. Ah,
00:25:01I'm feeling unwell again. It's always the same. Could it be that I'm allergic to guests too?
00:25:08Sandra smiled kindly at the boss, while the jokes Daniel had told still echoed in her ears.
00:25:14He had been talking all night about the homeowner's new girlfriend. As it turned out,
00:25:20He wasn't a hired employee but Gustavo's partner. And that changed the balance of power in the
00:25:27The situation. Sandra decided to be extremely cautious. That day, her husband didn't recognize her.
00:25:34But that didn't mean it would continue like that. And from that day on, the visits to the house
00:25:40HE
00:25:41They became more frequent, which he was far from pleased about. Even so, most of the time,
00:25:48Her duties consisted solely of setting the table in advance. After that, she could be
00:25:54Quietly in her room. One day the phone rang. It was Renata. Sandra found it amusing. She no longer felt
00:26:02Nothing because of what my sister-in-law said. What did you want? the woman asked coldly. But where have you been? Already
00:26:09I've been waiting a long time. When are you going to show up at home? Renata asked angrily. I show up at night,
00:26:17Sandra replied. What did you want? You could have let me know you were coming. As if I needed to.
00:26:25"Tell someone. The apartment belongs to our family and you're living there as a favor," Renata retorted.
00:26:32By the way, I know you got kicked out of kindergarten. How do you know? Sandra asked innocently. I don't remember.
00:26:40I shouldn't have told her anything. Someone told me, I don't remember who. Renata got all tangled up. Look, here's the thing,
00:26:48The apartment is going to sell soon, so you need to move. How interesting, Sandra smiled.
00:26:54With melancholy. You can celebrate. I'm gone now. I have nothing there anymore. Sell it if you need it so badly.
00:27:02What do you mean you've already left? The sister-in-law was speechless, clearly not expecting that turn of events. Why?
00:27:09Where? Give me your new address. Why? Sandra asked. I was always a burden to the family of
00:27:17You. Consider that you got rid of me. Wait, there's no need to cut ties so abruptly.
00:27:24Renata was bewildered. But Sandra had already hung up. Free from her obligations to the family.
00:27:31Sandra felt an enormous relief from her husband's departure. Now, she didn't owe explanations to anyone. Of course,
00:27:39Living in that house was also temporary, but there was still much more freedom than in the apartment
00:27:46of the deceased, and now suddenly resurrected, husband. A week later, Gustavo announced a
00:27:54New dinner. Sandra tensed up, but couldn't come up with a plausible excuse to be absent. Besides,
00:28:02Vero had left her a list of instructions about what to serve and when. So,
00:28:08She had to put her face mask back on, take extra care with her eye makeup, and go to the living room.
00:28:15where the lover sat on Daniel's lap with the air of a conqueror. Sandra moved
00:28:22She walked around the room with her tray, serving drinks. And it was at that moment, while distributing new
00:28:29out of the corner of her eye, she saw a strange movement. It was Juliana, Daniel's lover.
00:28:37pouring some powder into a glass, which she then handed to Gustavo with a smile. Sandra felt as
00:28:44If they had given him an electric shock. He understood. That couple had gone beyond planning.
00:28:50into action. Sandra launched herself at the boss with the agility of a cat. She collided with his elbow,
00:28:57knocking over the glass. The wine spilled onto the rose petals in a vase and
00:29:04They turned black instantly. Juliana grimaced and began to prepare to leave. Gustavo demanded that
00:29:11The employee would take the ruined bouquet away from her sight. Sandra did so, convinced that
00:29:17He had protected the boss from potential dangers. The guests left, and Gustavo stayed for a long time.
00:29:24She spent time in silence in the kitchen, observing the damaged bouquet. Sandra wanted to talk to him, to tell him everything.
00:29:31The truth is, but he felt intimidated. The boss had a serious face, so he decided to postpone the conversation until...
00:29:38The morning. But that night, the businessman became very ill. He heard the sound of a fall. Leaving
00:29:45In his room, he found Gustavo crawling down the hallway. He called an ambulance. Gustavo Lacerda
00:29:52He was taken to the hospital in a coma. Sandra managed, with difficulty, to calm Serena, who was crying.
00:29:59And she wanted to go with her dad. In the early hours of the morning, the girl finally fell asleep in a restless sleep.
00:30:06Sandra also went to bed, knowing that breakfast wouldn't be served early in that house. When she woke up,
00:30:14The girl was no longer home. Serena had disappeared without a word. Sandra waited.
00:30:20until nightfall, but the troubled Lacerda heiress didn't appear. The young woman decided to go to
00:30:26hospital, imagining that Serena had arrived there on her own to be near her dad.
00:30:32Sandra knew that the boss had been taken to a general hospital in the city, and in the ICU,
00:30:38Of course, they wouldn't let her in. Serena wasn't there either, but in the hallway she managed to hear a
00:30:45The conversation sent chills down her spine. Two serious-looking men in suits were pacing nervously.
00:30:52Down the corridor. Do you understand what's happening? they kept saying to each other. Barbosa is acting like
00:30:59If he already had everything in his hands. He claims that he's the one in charge of the group now. And on top of that, he's
00:31:05brandishing a power of attorney, even though Gustavo didn't even spend a day in the ICU. And that's not all,
00:31:12The other one replied. Did you hear what he and Juliana made up? They brought a power of attorney from the pig.
00:31:18to represent their daughter's interests. And the girl is with them, seeming satisfied.
00:31:24as if it weren't her father who was between life and death. Know that I'm not going to
00:31:30to vote like that,
00:31:31Either way. He shook his head first. If Gustavo dies, then we'll talk. And about everything.
00:31:38"One's opinion doesn't matter to anyone." The other person shrugged. "The daughter is..."
00:31:45She's the only heir, so if she's on his side, we have a big problem. We'll see.
00:31:51The first one answered. And then they went out into the street. Sandra stayed in the hallway, without a floor. It turned out
00:31:59that Serena had left home of her own free will and was now with the coup plotters that
00:32:04They wanted to take over her father's business. Searching for the girl was no longer necessary, and that reassured her.
00:32:12A little. After all, Daniel and his accomplice were hardly going to harm the hen.
00:32:18The golden eggs. And young Serena was exactly in that role at that moment. Furthermore,
00:32:25The girl had no official guardian whatsoever. "Sandra Monteiro, is that you?" came a voice from behind her.
00:32:32A lively voice. She turned around and stared blankly at a man in medical uniform.
00:32:37I don't recognize you. Of course not. I used to be Chinese. Now I'm bald as a cucumber.
00:32:45Billiards. The other person burst out laughing. Do you remember? In kindergarten we used to sit one at a time.
00:32:51On the other side. Lucas Figueiredo. Actually, I didn't recognize you right away. Sandra smiled. Wow.
00:32:58"Did you come here for a specific reason?" Lucas asked, getting straight to the point.
00:33:05"I don't really know yet," Sandra admitted. "There's an acquaintance of mine here who was brought in last night. I wanted to..."
00:33:12"I want to know how she is. Who is she?" Lucas asked with interest. "Tell me her last name." "The Pig," she sighed.
00:33:21Gustavo Sergio. Ah, that one. Even the mayor of the city has already called about him. Lucas smiled. Quite a
00:33:29"A character. Your acquaintance, a businessman. He's more than just an acquaintance," Sandra replied in a low voice.
00:33:36I know I'm not related. So I don't have the right to know about her health, but still, can you tell me?
00:33:43Will she survive? I don't know. The doctor sighed in response. Look at that, the pig has a
00:33:50Serious poisoning, and we still haven't identified the toxic agent. Bring him out of the coma.
00:33:56It hasn't been possible. It's really serious. And worse still, there's no antidote either. Because we don't know what
00:34:04To manage. And we don't have the right to experiment. So man is left only with life support.
00:34:11artificial, without which he would die very quickly. Good heavens. And how did he receive that toxin? Do you have any
00:34:18"Is there an idea?" Sandra kept asking. "It can't have just appeared out of nowhere." "Well, I'm not a toxicologist,"
00:34:27Lucas replied. We assume the toxin entered the body through ingestion. Your acquaintance
00:34:34Did he eat or drink something? I understand, she nodded. But it's certainly not simple food poisoning.
00:34:42No. I can be sure of that. Your acquaintance's blood contains a complex mixture of components.
00:34:49Chemicals. Lucas shook his head. Leave me your number. If there are any updates, I'll call you. Thanks.
00:34:57Sandra smiled. Maybe I'll figure out which one is toxic too. Be careful, Lucas said suddenly.
00:35:04We're keeping an eye on the patient. The police know he was poisoned, so don't get involved.
00:35:10in the middle of them. You're the second person in a short time to ask me to be careful, Sandra said. You can
00:35:17Stay calm. Everything will be alright. She left the hospital, convinced that the pig was under control.
00:35:24surveillance. The curly-haired, funny boy Lucas from his past had become a doctor.
00:35:31Serious. Sandra saw how respectfully everyone in the hospital treated him and she understood. Lucas wouldn't let
00:35:39that no one should harm his patient. Leaving the hospital, he went straight to the open-air market. He needed
00:35:46Help. And at that moment there was only one person she could ask. At the open-air market, Sandra found
00:35:53Don Chema was there quickly. The homeless man seemed even more exhausted. Marquiño is in the hospital.
00:36:00Suffering from back pain, he cried when he saw the young woman. And that demon won't even let me be with him.
00:36:06grandson. Me
00:36:07She sends someone to collect a fee for her clandestine business. "I really need your help," Sandra said, and told him
00:36:14that she hadn't managed to save the businessman. I think it was Renata who made that poison. It's chemistry.
00:36:20She had a background in education and only recently assumed the leadership of the regional delegation of COFEPRIS.
00:36:27Some years we were at his birthday party. I was wandering around the house and accidentally went down to the basement. There was
00:36:35Something like a chemistry lab. Renata yelled at me for walking around her house. Daniel could barely
00:36:42Calm her down. And what do you want to do? Don Chema asked. For me, at this point, it doesn't matter. If it helps to
00:36:50To catch the demon, I'm ready for anything. I want to get into Renata's house, he replied
00:36:56Sandra, and try to find evidence in her lab. I don't think my husband's sister...
00:37:02He hid nothing. And a fresh dose of poison may be needed at any moment. After all,
00:37:09He's still alive. Look, he used to be a locksmith, and not a bad one, said Don Chema. A safe...
00:37:16the
00:37:17force, but a regular lock does. When is the right time? We need to choose a time in
00:37:23"Renata definitely shouldn't be home," Sandra said. "I'm going to try to keep an eye on her. It's best if you leave me alone."
00:37:31"That's what I'll do," the old man replied. "And I'll call you. Just wait." Sandra agreed, understanding that
00:37:39He had finally found an ally. The opportunity to enter Renata's house literally arose when
00:37:46The next day, very early, Daniel's sister went to a spa. Don Chema found out that she had
00:37:53He made a reservation for a full-day program and immediately notified Sandra. They met near
00:38:00Renata's house, entering through the bush so as not to appear at the main doors.
00:38:06The back door lock is simple, the fake homeless man said. Are you sure there isn't one?
00:38:13Is there an alarm inside? Yes, but Renata always forgot to activate it and eventually stopped using it.
00:38:19Sandra smiled. Once, in a single day, the security company came five times. In the end, she gave up.
00:38:26He thought guards at the gates were sufficient. Besides, he didn't live luxuriously enough to...
00:38:32"To attract thieves. Then I'm going to force it," Don Chema announced.
00:38:39Get out of the way, don't block the light. Okay, we can go in. Hopefully there aren't any dogs or other surprises.
00:38:46"You're the best!" Sandra exclaimed. "I'm going in alone, and then I'll call if no one's there. I think my presence..."
00:38:55It can still be explained somehow at home. Let's go together, I'm not going to let you risk it alone.
00:39:00The old man shook his head. They slipped through the house, lighting the way with their lanterns.
00:39:07of the cell phones. Sandra had rarely been there, and she oriented herself in Renata's house with great
00:39:14difficulty. They were lost for quite some time, until they finally found the entrance to the basement.
00:39:21There was a sturdy door there, but things got even more interesting later on. In the room
00:39:29There was another locked door, like a safe. It took Don Chema much longer to get through, but in the end
00:39:35The lock gave way to the old locksmith. In the secret room, they discovered a laboratory with test tubes.
00:39:42Trials, chemical reagents, and notebooks with detailed records of experiments. But all that was just the
00:39:51visible part of the iceberg. Sandra put on the gloves she had brought and began to inspect
00:39:58He carefully searched the room. Soon, behind a shelf, he found a safe.
00:40:04"Don Chema, could you open it?" she pleaded. "I think what we're missing is right here."
00:40:12"Oh, Xijita! If I had known, I would have practiced more," Don Chema smiled. "I'll try it."
00:40:19But the lock is much more difficult. It could take a long time. —It doesn't matter. Let's keep our fingers crossed that...
00:40:25"I'll run out of time," she murmured. "Do what you can." "With pleasure," the old man promised.
00:40:32And she got to work. Meanwhile, Sandra went upstairs from the basement to the house and went to check.
00:40:39the
00:40:39situation. She was walking on the first floor when she suddenly heard a strange tapping. Then,
00:40:47From behind the door of one of the closed rooms, a shout sounded. "Let me go!" I changed my mind. They don't have
00:40:54right to detain me. —Serena, is that you? —Sandra asked, distressed. —Sa! Save me! Please,
00:41:02"Call the police!" the girl shouted from behind the door. "They're holding me against my will."
00:41:08At first I agreed, but then I changed my mind. I was deceived.
00:41:14There's a television in the room, and on the news they said Dad is in a coma. But they...
00:41:19They said it was just to give her a sleeping pill. I was tricked. —Please, help me.
00:41:26"Calm down." "Just a moment," Sandra replied and ran to the basement. There, Don Chema had already managed to open the
00:41:33safe. Upon hearing the new task, she quickly went upstairs, but Sandra began to examine
00:41:40the contents of the safe. Inside were two fake documents with photos of Daniel and his lover.
00:41:47Alongside them were the originals of some business documents and the formula for the poison, written in
00:41:55irregular handwriting. Sandra quickly photographed it and sent it to Lucas. The doctor replied with a
00:42:02Simply, thank you. He left the basement without hiding. With the evidence obtained, there was nothing left to hide.
00:42:08fear. She was perfectly capable of facing alone the greedy and insolent ex-relatives who
00:42:15They turned out to be capable of killing. Three came out of Renata's house. Serena grabbed her arm.
00:42:23And she talked nonstop. It was hard to recognize in her the spoiled heiress Sandra had known.
00:42:30It was her first time in that house. The girl trembled with fear and, more than anything, was afraid of having to stay there.
00:42:37Are you going to call the police? Serena insisted. Although they might take me too. No, please,
00:42:44No. What's going on? Sandra stopped her. Why would they take you? I was the one who let them into the house.
00:42:52Serena paled. At first I thought Daniel was cool, unlike Dad. Dad is always in
00:43:00business and only argues with me. And Daniel and Juliana are modern, fun, they understand me,
00:43:07They never lectured me. In general, it seemed like they'd become something like friends. Well,
00:43:13And so I could have fun without Dad watching, Daniel would bring me sleeping pills. We'd put them in my food.
00:43:19Dad's and he never caught us. So during the day you pretended you were studying, and at night you went out in
00:43:27"The company of adults you barely knew," Sandra said. "Well, that's it," the girl said ruefully.
00:43:34But at the time it seemed fun. It seemed like adult life was like that, the kind I needed.
00:43:41And Dad was just a boring old man who didn't understand anything about fun. I understand, Sandra agreed. They beat you.
00:43:49They trusted you and then used you. And is Dad in the hospital for real poisoning? The girl
00:43:56She cried, burying her face in his shoulder at the bus stop. So it was me who made her cry.
00:44:02He poisoned him. I killed him with my own hands. No, calm down, Sandra shook her head. You have nothing to do with this.
00:44:11With that. The adults simply decided to use you for their own purposes. When they were already seated
00:44:18In the truck, Sandra's phone received a message. The agents of the ministerial police wanted
00:44:24to speak with her, so they had to go directly to the hospital to meet them. While
00:44:31Serena, with Lucas's help, entered the ICU and cried next to her father's bed; Sandra received
00:44:38A good scolding from the people. Don't you understand that with all this going on, we can no longer gather that evidence?
00:44:44Walter shouted, staring at the cowering woman. "You destroyed everything with your own hands!"
00:44:50Register it as an anonymous submission, she said through tears. With her initiative,
00:44:57The only alternative is to commit a crime while on duty. The officer turned red. But he's
00:45:03Okay, I'll take care of this. Show me what you found. Sandra extended the evidence on
00:45:09The table and asked. Just don't be hard on Serena. She's just a scared little girl. Let's work this out.
00:45:17"No crying," Walter smiled. "Now we'll analyze everything and then decide what to do."
00:45:24And you, meanwhile, put everything you just told me into writing.
00:45:30Please stop them right now, Sandra pleaded. They're planning to take over the company and...
00:45:37It seems they also planned to flee with forged documents. Well, that possibility has already been denied to them.
00:45:44"You," the man replied. "And what's on the USB drive?" "I don't know, I haven't seen it yet," he answered.
00:45:52"She. Can you examine it yourself?" "With pleasure." "Oh, there are some interesting things here," smiled the other person.
00:46:02Renata is a complicated woman. She recorded all the conversations and compiled them on her own.
00:46:07compromising evidence against her husband. So now we can go and make the arrest. Sandra stayed in
00:46:15the hospital while the agent went to attend to his business. She didn't even know that in that same
00:46:21At that moment, Daniel and Juliana were holding a meeting of the company's board of directors.
00:46:28They decided not to wait for the real owner to die and rushed to pressure the members
00:46:33of the council. Sandra realized at the last moment and ran up the stairs after Walter.
00:46:41"Wait, please," she cried. "Take me. I want to see him at the time of the arrest."
00:46:48Interesting idea, the man shrugged. He can come. Either way, we're going to need
00:46:55Witnesses. Sandra, how are you? Don Chema ran towards her at the hospital entrance.
00:47:03"This is the agent," she said, turning to Walter. "Don Chema can come too. Let me explain."
00:47:10Everything along the way. Couldn't it have been done from the beginning? The agent frowned, displeased.
00:47:16What kind of story is this? It has more than one hidden agenda at every stage. It's like a matryoshka doll. Come on,
00:47:23Tell me. Sandra and the old man got into the car and this time they arrived at the corporate office accompanied by a
00:47:30tactical group. She felt a slight, nervous tremor, but everything turned out fine. The agent entered
00:47:38the office at the exact moment Daniel shed tears as his final argument.
00:47:43You understand, he said. The girl is practically an orphan. I'm ready to take on the
00:47:51guardianship of my friend's daughter. And I understand the company's business. Others could come.
00:47:56People in this place are much less flexible than I am. So if they sign now, Serena herself will sign tomorrow.
00:48:03She's going to thank them personally. I highly doubt it. The sound of people's voices could be heard from the entrance. The girl
00:48:12She was freed from the place where she was being held and is unlikely to want guardians who almost
00:48:17They killed her father. Who are you? Daniel said arrogantly, but he saw Sandra behind the crowd.
00:48:24And he turned as white as a sheet. I understand. The relentless avenger appeared. And you, my love, to be a
00:48:32Dead, you're in great shape. Sandra smiled. So you were the pig's new girl.
00:48:39Daniel said thoughtfully. How could she have been so wrong, Renata? I was sure it was you.
00:48:46Your mom's house in the countryside and you wouldn't show up here anymore. I wouldn't want to interrupt this warm
00:48:53Reunion. The agent intervened. But you are under arrest, Mr. Barbosa. Or perhaps Mr. Pereira. The
00:49:01He's also an accomplice. No one is leaving the office. There will be searches and investigative procedures.
00:49:07"And what exactly am I being accused of?" Daniel asked sarcastically. "Of trying to start a new
00:49:14life? You are suspected of fraud, document forgery, and attempted murder, the [reported]
00:49:21Agent. Renata is also under arrest. They're bringing her straight from the spa for questioning. It was me who
00:49:28He did everything, huh? Juliana suddenly shouted. Him and his damn family. I'm ready to cooperate.
00:49:35I'm fully cooperating with the investigation. You can ask questions, officer. I'm going to tell you everything. I don't want to go to the
00:49:41jail. I didn't do anything wrong. I just trusted the wrong person. Let's listen and take notes.
00:49:49"Everyone," the agent agreed. "The cooperation will certainly be taken into account by the judge. I'm going to tell you."
00:49:56"Everything," Juliana said excitedly. "You can be sure of that. I heard a lot of things." "Shut up!" Daniel shouted.
00:50:05He's attacking his mistress. Do you understand that you're going to sink us with that? Stop it now. You ruined it yourselves.
00:50:12"Everything," Juliana grumbled. "A failure. Just empty promises. And in the end, it was all smoke and mirrors." Sandra distanced herself from the couple.
00:50:21She was still fighting. She no longer wanted to see her ex-husband, but there was still a lot of legal work to be done.
00:50:28with Daniel. Now she and Don Chema rushed to the hospital. The older man went to stay by her side.
00:50:35of the sick grandson, and Sandra went to support her employer's daughter. The girl categorically refused to
00:50:41leave
00:50:42The clinic. And how are things? Sandra asked. The doctors made an antidote, Serena said.
00:50:50They said it's going to eliminate the toxin. And now Dad's on an IV drip. They say it's to get all that out.
00:50:57That blood filth. But she's going to forgive me. What do you think? Oh, Serena, stop! Sandra hugged the
00:51:06A teenager who was crying inconsolably. Your dad is a wonderful person and he'll understand everything. There's just...
00:51:14than to wait for her to wake up. That doctor friend of yours, the girl looked at her with hope. Ask him when
00:51:22Dad's going to wake up. Any minute now, replied Lucas, who entered the room. The indicators of
00:51:30His heart rate and pulse returned to normal, so I think he may wake up very soon. As soon as
00:51:38If that happens, we'll move him to a private room. I'll pay. I have money. The girl blurted out. Can I stay?
00:51:48With Dad? We'll see. But I'm not interested in your money, Lucas shook his head. Of course
00:51:55A paid room is much more comfortable, and you can certainly afford it, but today it's better to go
00:52:01Home. At night, teenagers have nothing to do in our area. Sandra hugged
00:52:08She silently took the girl by the shoulders and led her out of the room. Together they returned to the
00:52:14The Lacerda house. There, a worried Vero received them. Upon learning the latest news, the
00:52:21The cook served them food, and then everyone went to their rooms. In the morning, Sandra received a
00:52:28Lucas's message. His boss had woken up. Serena called her father's driver, who took them to the
00:52:35clinic. Upon his arrival, the businessman had already been transferred from the ICU to a private room. Serena
00:52:43She threw herself onto her father's chest and began to confess her actions. Gustavo, embracing his daughter,
00:52:50He pressed himself against her. He was far from wanting to scold her. "Dad, by the way, it was Sandra who saved you," he said.
00:52:59Serena, realizing there would be no punishment, conducted a thorough investigation and also found me.
00:53:06And he freed me. Thank you, said the boss, almost with tears in his eyes. I will be in your debt for
00:53:15Always. I'll repay you as you deserve. I didn't do this for a reward, Sandra said, and shared with him
00:53:23The story of her relationship with her husband. I apologize for not being able to let you know sooner. I really wanted to
00:53:30I did it, but everything happened too fast. Honestly, I also suspected something was up.
00:53:37"Bad, only I didn't have proof," Gustavo smiled in response, without letting go of his daughter's hand. And for the
00:53:45Poisoning, all the way to the hospital, I can say I blame myself a little. Look, Sandra, I had already discovered
00:53:52with my daughter, those powders that Daniel and Juliana forced her to put in her food, and I simply stopped
00:53:58I took what she gave me. I sent the medication for analysis. The chemists said it was a
00:54:04a new, unknown formula, and on the day of the dinner I also saw when Juliana poured the mixture into
00:54:11the glass. Since I wasn't in any real danger, your vigilance impressed me. And then how did you end up
00:54:18"Poisoned?" Sandra asked, incredulous. "On my own initiative. I took a small dose," he admitted.
00:54:26The businessman, blushing with embarrassment, wanted me to poison those criminals.
00:54:33They were caught red-handed. I went on my own to take a little of that stuff. I was wrong.
00:54:39in the dosage. You could have saved yourself so much amateurishness, the doctor suggested. Next time, maybe not.
00:54:46Let's get there on time. I get it now, I acted like an idiot. Gustavo gestured with his hand. I swear nothing.
00:54:54No more experiments, only what is approved by law. The doctor smiled and left the room.
00:55:00And Sandra started chatting with Gustavo and his daughter about their plans for the future. It became clear that
00:55:06the
00:55:06Recovery from the toxic exposure would still take some time. A week later, the businessman received the
00:55:14High. Sandra took on the role of caregiver, helping him get up and giving him massages. Serena, in turn,
00:55:22He behaved docilely, even asking to return to the school near his home, resigning
00:55:29to online classes. It seemed that everything was behind them, but when the investigations
00:55:34They ended, the legal proceedings began. Sandra exercised her right to be represented. She didn't want to see it anymore.
00:55:42Daniel. His interests before the judge were represented by lawyers hired by Gustavo.
00:55:47The whole gang ended up receiving serious sentences. Even the mistress, who collaborated so actively with
00:55:55The investigation didn't lead to her imprisonment. Then Sandra decided to regularize her civil status.
00:56:03to talk to the agent. It seemed like it would take stacks of paperwork. But Walter, after
00:56:10Upon hearing her, he just smiled. And why do you think she got married? Citizen Pereira didn't divorce the
00:56:16His first wife, Renata, although he introduced her to everyone as his sister. Therefore, you cannot
00:56:22I can't be Daniel's wife. He's married, and your relationship is invalid.
00:56:29"I was never married!" Sandra exclaimed, stunned. "How low of you! It's not the first time, Sandra."
00:56:37The agent sighed. "If you want to know, he used you to create the image of a family man."
00:56:44exemplary. The first wife has a criminal record, and the mistress, they both considered her...
00:56:51a disposable piece. Juliana was a valuable informant, you know. She worked as a secretary for the
00:56:58She'd been a pig for several years. And at the end of the business, they planned to get rid of her. How awful! She paled.
00:57:07Sandra rushed out, but came back. Can you give me a certificate stating that I'm single? That's what I need.
00:57:14You need to go to the civil registry and then to the family court, and request that the marriage be declared
00:57:20"Disabled," the agent advised. "And then you can remarry, for real." That day, Sandra returned home.
00:57:28Overwhelmed by the new things, she didn't even notice the bouquet in her room at first. She discovered the roses.
00:57:36in the vase just a couple of hours later, and went immediately to ask Serena where they had gotten it from.
00:57:42The flowers have arrived. Daddy brought them! The little girl winked. She says it's beautiful. I helped choose them.
00:57:51But also. We just didn't know which ones you liked. But it's not my birthday, Sandra said, surprised.
00:57:58Haven't you realized yet that Dad likes you? Serena wondered. By the way, neither have I.
00:58:04me
00:58:05It matters if they get married. Sandra just smiled, but when Gustavo took her to the terrace that night...
00:58:12A blanket and hot tea; she remained thoughtful. The care of that man warmed her battered soul.
00:58:19because of the betrayal. But soon, the house had new inhabitants. Don Chema with his grandson whose operation
00:58:26Gustavo financed it and returned the rights to the apartment to him. The old man was now
00:58:32Registered as the gardener and handyman for the house. Sandra used to talk to him about everything.
00:58:40While watching Serena in the garden, patiently teaching Marquiño to walk, the boy...
00:58:46She had gotten out of her wheelchair for the first time. Outside, that rebellious girl was transforming.
00:58:53She instantly became a loving nanny to that little boy. "Marry me," Gustavo proposed.
00:59:00night. "I can't promise you I'll be home more, but I'll try my best to be a good
00:59:06husband, and Serena is going to adore him." "Okay." "But I hope you don't have any surprises up your sleeve."
00:59:15"wife," Sandra joked. "But look, there's something, I'm sterile." "Who said that?" Gustavo asked. "My
00:59:23"husband." She shrugged. For several years she financed all kinds of studies, and shortly after
00:59:30They celebrated a beautiful wedding. But six months later, Sandra began to feel unwell in the mornings.
00:59:37At Vero's insistence, who had long since become her friend, she took a pregnancy test.
00:59:43And the result was positive. Sandra held the test in her hands and almost cried. Soon the
00:59:51The suspicion was confirmed by the doctor, who was quite surprised by the diagnosis.
00:59:56previous infertility. It turned out that Sandra didn't have any problem. Daniel simply didn't want children.
01:00:03From the beginning, she considered her disposable. Calm and happy, she ran home to
01:00:10to give her husband and daughter the good news. And now, expecting her baby, Sandra was
01:00:16Absolutely serene. If you enjoyed the story, please support me by clicking the thumbs up.
