Episode 6

House of Santo

In the kitchen, Yohana was talking on the phone while stirring the pots.

"Girl, you have no idea how hot the new owner of the hill is, I'm telling you, woman, just looking at him gets my panties wet. I had to work it to get him to let me keep working here, but I pouted, put on a pitiful face, put the kids in the middle, and he gave in. The fact that the old mummy is sick also helped me."

Yohana gave a mischievous smile, talking more to herself than to her friend.

"This man will be mine, Simone, listen to what I'm telling you, I will be Santo's faithful, even if I have to sell my soul to the devil, and woe to anyone who crosses my path, because I will have no mercy."

Allan's POV

That's right, my loves, the believer's life is not easy, I haven't even reached the kitchen and I've already heard Yohana's irritating voice, but her last sentence gave me chills, don't mess with the devil, those things never end well.

I entered the kitchen and as soon as she saw me, she started being sweet as always.

"Are you still alive, freak? I thought Santo had already finished you off, you disgusting thing, see if you don't go around with that ugly face and that skeletal body, you'll scare my Santo."

Allan couldn't help himself and blurted out:

"Yours?"

Author's POV

Yohana went after Allan, tightly holding his curls.

"Did the little abuser wake up, did he feel like answering me? Well, know that very soon I will be the owner of this whole dump, I will command everything around here, and the first thing I will do as First Lady will be to take care of finishing you off."

Allan was already regretting opening his mouth.

"Don't be afraid, Little Allan, I promise I'll be very creative when it's time to teach you a lesson. Hahaha."

Yohana threw the boy hard to the ground and kicked him in the stomach.

"This is your place on the floor, that's all you're good for, scrubbing toilets and ruining the floor I walk on. Now get out of here, freak, I'm going to finish my man's lunch, I'm going to hook this guy by the stomach, don't worry, I'll leave plenty of dishes here in the sink for you to have fun with all afternoon."

Allan walked away frustrated, knowing that Yohana was going to dirty every pot in that house, his afternoon would be long.

Santo's POV

Today Jotape and I worked like grown men, there's a lot to put in order on this hill and it's going to be a hell of a job. But Santo doesn't live by work alone here, I'm starving, I hope that bitch has already made my lunch because, by me, nobody here wants to see me hungry, even the devil runs away from me when I'm hungry.

I get home and go straight to the kitchen, and I see that bitch Yohana more dolled up than usual with a strong, pure alcohol perfume, it makes my stomach churn.

I asked right away where the food was, and she came all fussy with a crooked talk.

"I'm just finishing setting the table, then you can sit down for lunch."

"Set table my ass, I just want to sit down and eat, Yohana, is that too much to ask, damn it?"

Author's POV

Yohana froze, she thought she would impress Santo with the set table, but apparently, he hated the idea, he didn't even see it and was already frowning, she was apprehensive, she wanted him to like it, but in any case, she was confident because she had the food, the food would save the day, there was no way Santo wouldn't like the banquet she had prepared, after all, she was one of the best cooks in the region and worked for a very famous buffet in the city. She hurried to set the table, even though some flowers were still missing, it would have to do, she didn't want to make Santo any angrier.

"Of course you can, you can do anything," she said in the most seductive voice she could muster.

Santo ignored the cook and went straight to the dining room. Santo hated this, he liked things simple and without fuss, he just wanted to eat in the kitchen and get back to the drug den and take care of business.

Santo stopped abruptly, staring in disbelief at what was in front of him.

Yohana smiled proudly, thinking she had finally impressed Santo.

"What the fuck is this, Yohana?" Santo shouted with all the strength in his lungs, that even Allan who was upstairs heard and shuddered.

"Do you think I look like some kind of bitch, some kind of gold digger? Why so many leaves on this table? Candles? Seriously, it's daytime, asshole, and we have electricity here, how many hands do you think I have? Why so many forks?"

Santo's eyes fell on the food in the center of the table.

"What the fuck kind of food is this?"

The menu prepared by Yohana included:

Salads:

Caprese Salad

Shrimp with Arugula

Meats:

Beef Tenderloin with L'ancienne Sauce (French Mustard)

Pork Loin Stuffed with Sundried Tomatoes, Mushrooms and Ricotta

Sides:

Sauteed Vegetables

Salmon Terrine

Leek Musseline

Desserts:

Creme Brulee

Raspberry Panna Cotta

After proudly explaining each dish, Yohana looked at Santo, who remained silent. Yohana thought he was in awe, until he turned to her with a deadly look on his face.

Jotape, who had stopped by the bar to buy beer, arrived just then and looked at the table and then at Santo's face, and he already knew that shit was going to go down, he grabbed his friend's arm tightly, drawing his attention to himself.

"Calm down, Santo, take it easy on the bitch, don't do anything stupid and regret it later. I came from Seu Joao's Bar and his son is grilling some skewers there. Let's go, Ze, forget about it."

Santo grabbed Yohana's arm tightly and said close to her face.

"Clean up this shit and the next time you spend my money on this fancy crap I'll leave you bruised."

He released the woman brutally, leaving the mark of his fingers on her arm.

Yohana stood there, unable to believe the humiliation she had just suffered, no one had ever spoken ill of her food, let alone called it crap, on the contrary, it was always highly praised.

"Crap!!!"

Yohana threw one of the glasses against the wall.

"This is not over, Santo, mark my words, I'm going to turn you into a lapdog, you'll be eating out of my hand yet, and I will charge dearly for today."

Allan heard Santo's shouting and went downstairs to eavesdrop, he was at the top of the stairs and saw everything, but ran into one of the rooms as soon as the shrew finished speaking, he was not at all in the mood to cross paths with the brunette today because he knew it would end badly for him.

Yohana, don't be fooled by the saintly face, this one is a mix of Nazare and Carminha, the epitome of evil.
