Anna: I tell the police officer what happened without many details about the past, Cassio listens to everything attentively and doesn't leave my side. I inform them that I know who broke into my apartment, I only say that he is crazy and I have a restraining order. I get nervous, the police officer releases me to be treated, I'll go to the police station to give my statement later.
Cassio: Who is he Anna?
Anna: Can I tell you this story later? I'm not doing well Cassio.
Cassio: Look here Anna you sent me away saying he was going to kill me! Do you have any idea how confused I am, I found you unconscious! Maybe not now, but I want to know who he is and why he did this to you guys. Now come here, I'll take you in the ambulance, you need to be examined!
Anna: Alright Cassio, I'll tell you everything. Please, take me to Nicole first.
Cassio takes me to Nicole, Brayan is sitting next to her. When she sees me she tries to take off her mask and speak, I can barely hear her voice and she starts coughing again.
Nicole: A.. N... A... Yo... u...
I can't, it hurts so much, my throat is burning. It hurts to swallow. I cough again.
Brayan: Nicole no, you need the mask!
Nicole tries to speak, I get even angrier, her voice is almost gone, it's hoarse and weak. She barely spoke two words and went back to coughing, you cowardly bastard!
Nicole: I just nod to Brayan who gets up worried and helps me to put the mask back on. Anna comes to me, crying desperately and hugs me tightly.
Brayan: Nicole is a really strong woman, although visibly scared she didn't cry until she saw Anna in tears. I see tears streaming down her face and all I want to do is hug her and comfort her.
Anna: I'm okay friend. Forgive me, friend, he almost killed you because of me. I shouldn't have called you, I panicked when I saw him through the peephole. I don't know how he found my apartment, let alone how he got in.
Nicole: I hug Anna tightly, I take her face and put our foreheads together, tears stream down my face seeing that she's okay, that I arrived in time.
I... t... was...n't... your... fault... I... love... you... so... much...
Anna: Don't talk friend, I know. I love you so much.
I hug Anna again, Brayan looks at me inexpressively, we follow to the hospital for evaluation. I call my lawyer and report what happened.
They assured me that he would not come looking for me again, the agreement is off. Gather the evidence and file the lawsuit right now, inform his parents legally about the process. When you're on your way to the police station let me know so I can meet you there.
Lawyer: Alright Miss Anna, I'll do it right now.
Cassio: Anna was evaluated and had some tests done, she is fine. We will wait for the results and reports to take to the police station. She speaks with a lawyer about an agreement, I pay attention to everything but I still haven't understood the whole story. We are waiting for Nicole and Brayan.
Now will you explain to me Anna?
Anna: I lower my head and take a deep breath.
I didn't want to involve you in this... He's my ex-boyfriend!
Cassio: Anna what did you see in that cowardly bastard to date him!
Anna: Please don't judge me without knowing all the facts.... I met him at an agency doing a job, he was kind, polite, affectionate... We met several times by chance, it seemed like fate you know. He gained my trust first, then in a very romantic way he asked me to date him. I was on cloud nine, I was treated like a princess. Until...
Tears roll down my face. Cassio pulls me to his chest and I continue to speak.
He became jealous, I couldn't wear any clothes without his approval, sometimes I had to change more than once, he alienated me from all my male friends because he said they looked at me with desire and he knew that look. Always after a jealous outburst he would go back to being a prince, one day I was late because I was with Nicole and I lost track of time, she was already suspicious but I lied saying that he was amazing. That day... He squeezed my arm hard and yelled at me, I was very scared. I cried a lot and he again convinced me that it was just a mistake, he cried too said he was looking for help to deal with the jealousy, that he loved me too much, apologized and assured me that it would never happen again. Nicole saw the mark on my arm and went to get even with him, she was revolted and started to distrust him even more, she was on my back. Vinicius got even angrier at me, that's when he... We fought because he wanted me to distance myself from Nicole and he got very nervous because I said I wouldn't and I wanted to break up... Then he threw me on the floor and kicked me so hard that I coughed up blood. After that he left yelling at me, saying it was my fault, I called Nicole immediately after he left, I could barely stand. She came and got me, his mother called me that same night saying that Vinicius tried to kill himself, said that he couldn't forgive himself for what he had done to me and that she had to admit him, begged me not to press charges. She assured me that he would never come looking for me again if I didn't report him for assault. I accepted the agreement, but I took precautions, I took pictures of the injuries, I went to the hospital and had tests done, I got the property footage and requested a restraining order on the grounds that he was stalking me, so I moved, changed my phone number, email and protected my personal data. He would send me emails sometimes and I don't know how he managed to, so I would block him every time without replying, but I have everything he put me through documented and I'm going to sue him, my agreement with his parents is over!
Cassio: I'm so sorry Anna, I had no idea. I'll be by your side!
I hug Anna, not knowing what else to say.
Anna: I should have told you the day we went out, you were in danger without knowing it!
Cassio: Don't worry about anything, now you need security Anna. He's on the run and until he's arrested we all need to be careful. That's why you were avoiding me.
Anna: I know, I'm going to hire a team. Our night was amazing, I've been thinking about you ever since that day but the fear was bigger than any feeling. I was afraid of Vinicius finding out and what he might do to you.
Cassio: Listen to me Anna, I'm not helpless. I can take care of myself and I can take care of you, including you don't need to hire a team because I already have one and I'm going to send some trusted men to accompany you! Stay with me tonight? I don't want you to be alone in your apartment.
Anna: I don't know Cassio, I thank you immensely for today, for everything you're doing for me but...
Cassio: All I want to do is take care of you Anna. Don't deny me that, and as for staying with me tonight we won't do anything but sleep and I won't be able to sleep either without knowing how you are. I don't want you to be alone!
Anna: Alright, yes to both. I'm going to need security guards I can trust, thank you! But just tonight, I don't want to be alone!
I see a goofy smile escape from the corner of Cassio's mouth. We stay talking and waiting for Nicole to finish her exams.
