Reinaldo had already answered the same question by saying “yes”, now it was Gabriela's turn, who until that moment was oblivious to any word said there, however, faced with the final question that would definitely make her that man's woman, reality pulled her back.

Silence. Everyone was waiting for the response from Ernesto Meneses' daughter, for a moment they thought that the blonde would run out of the church, abandoning leader Lopes at the altar. Despite this being Gabriela's true will, she didn't do it, she looked from beneath the veil at that man who would transmit atrocity to her if she didn't say exactly what he wanted.

    It wasn't a mere dream, Souza was really there kissing Gabriela as if separating herself from the others, protecting her again so she wouldn't break as soon as she was out of his arms. It was great to be together again, the feeling conveyed the idea that I had recovered a piece of my heart. They stopped kissing, but they didn't separate. Their foreheads pressed against each other, breathing heavy and their eyes closed. They only felt the heat and the smell that emanated.I wasn't afraid to open my eyes and see that the one playing was Reinaldo. So many times she had deluded herself into imagining that it was Souza who was kissing her, but when he did, it wasn't the dark hair he was caressing but rather the black strands. It would be a facade again to see that it was not a beautiful pair of dark eyes that admired her, but black eyes.-Look at me!”the killer Max's voice was indifferent, but his gestures betrayed him. He caressed the blonde's face, making it

Elvis drove, every now and then he looked in the rearview mirror at the image of the other two in the back seat.

The hum of the monitor echoed throughout the room as Bruno slipped inside, closing the door slowly behind him. He walked like he was on water as he came across the room, to the side of the bed. A smile appeared on his face as he leaned closely down to the figure on the bed; their faces inches apart from one another.Just then the figure's head jerk a little to the side. His eyes slowly opening to see the face of Bruno before him."Hey," spoke Bruno in a deep whisper. "Did I wake you?"Ronnie closed his eyes for a second before opening them again. He was delirious, he thought to himself. He didn't understand what Bruno was doing here. What on earth did he want? As Ronnie tried to open his mouth to speak, he found that he couldn't. A tube was lodged deep into his throat, helping him breath. "Aaargghh," grunted Ronnie, shaking his head slightly from side to side.Taking this as a yes,

Flávio turned towards the officer as he closed the door behind him. “Sorry about that,” mumbled Darcy looking over at Flávio as he pulled out a pair of keys from his jean pocket. “The easiest way of getting out of here is by going out through the back and into the alley way. No one will see you.”“Good,” replied Flávio taking a step towards where Darcy stood, holding out his wrists.

The reason he came to Port Charles was not because of some art show, he came here to meet me. He had been tracking me for weeks even before he stepped foot here. This whole thing is just a game to him. He has tooken Renata to get to me,” Flávio closed his eyes and took a deep breath before continuing on telling Darcy about the events prior that involved Bruno; he mentioned how Carla had ran into him at the Christmas tree lot but had not known who it was. “Bruno had then sent me Josslyne’s hat through the mail. I know it sounds crazy, but Bruno is obsessed. And now Renata has disappeared. “Darcy looked at Flávio for a long second before replying.

What would you prefer?” His brown eyes sparkled down at her.“I would prefer if you would go to hell,” whispered Renata harshly, her face hard with determination. She didn’t know why Brunowas here, or how he had gotten into her apartment, the door had been locked.

    At the moment she opened her eyes, she immediately recognized that foul-smelling room; it had been her captivity for the past five days. It was dark, with only a small opening high on the wall as her sole chance to know that a world still existed outside.This time, she couldn't move. Her assailant and kidnapper used all his strength and tools to torture her, especially with ropes whose ends had iron claws, tearing pieces of her already exposed skin on her back. Her clothes were in tatters, and when she could move, she did her best to appear presentable.This time, she had to pretend to faint from the pain, as had happened on the first day when he twisted her ankle, crushing any hope she had of escaping.

    Two pairs of eyes stared at the board lying before them taking in everything and nothing at once. Their concentration was so great that it could no longer be felt, it just was. At first glance it appeared to be a game board of some kind, perhaps something a little like chess. First glance would not be wrong. It was a game, a game older than time itself, a game that has been before there was. The board was vast and yet small in comparison to the game itself, existing everywhere and nowhere at the same time. It was complex. So much so that the rules could not be taught, they must be known. And yet there was nothing simpler. Contradiction at its truest form."The players appear to all be in place," the first voice said. It was a surprisingly light voice, considering all that was behind it. And if one listened closely one could hear the dry humor that seemed laced through it, as though every little irony it encountered amused it.The eyes belonging to the voice that had not yet spoken fli
