Episode 3

Luna Vieira couldn't fathom where Guilherme intended to take her when he struck her for the third time; this time was going to be the last. She refused to comply with his demands to end her pregnancy—it wasn't a possibility for her. The reaction of her parents to her pregnancy was uncertain, especially since they had never approved of Guilherme.

"What's to become of me now, God? Pregnant, alone, and fearful for my and my unborn child's safety?" Luna wondered in distress. After escaping the car and Guilherme's violence, she found refuge in a taxi, tears streaming down her face. The driver, noticing her state, asked with concern after hearing her pleas.

Luna - To Serra Nova Farm, please.

Driver - Were you robbed, miss? Did someone hit you? Shouldn't we head to the police station?

Luna - No, sir, just take me to the address I gave you, please. I'm fine.

The driver acquiesced and drove to the given address. As they passed by Guilherme's car, now pulled over on the curb, she saw him on his phone. It wasn't long before hers began to ring, and though hesitant, she knew he wouldn't stop calling until she answered.

📲Luna - What do you want, Guilherme? I won't do as you demand.

📱 Guilherme - You're getting rid of that baby, Luna, or I'll take it out of you myself.

📲 Luna - You're not getting anywhere near me again, Guilherme.

📱 Guilherme - We'll see about that. I refuse to let you and that stupid baby ruin my plans. I'll find you, Luna, and show you who I really am, you money-grubbing wretch.

📲 Luna - You've already shown me who you are, Guilherme. 😭😭😭😭

Ending the call, she broke down, sobbing uncontrollably, lamenting how she had fallen for someone like him, and now bearing his child. "What if my parents reject this pregnancy? Where shall I go, God?" she despaired. Guilherme shouldn't have done this to her, not ever.

Guilherme was a handsome man at the prime of his 25 years, with blond hair, blue eyes, an athletic build, and an arresting beauty standing at 1.75m tall. Their paths crossed at an animal exhibition where his father's company specialized in agricultural products. They exchanged a few words, phone numbers, and arranged to meet again, eventually beginning a relationship.

Falling for Guilherme came effortlessly, as Luna had never dated before and thought she'd found her charming prince. Now, she realized her grave mistake; he had turned into an abominable beast.

Driver - Are you sure you don't want to go to the police station or a hospital?

Luna - There's no need, sir. Thank you, getting me to the farm is help enough.

Without further exchange, the driver continued toward the farm where she lived, while Luna cried, clutching the recently acquired pregnancy test in her purse – the same one she had been thrilled to share with her boyfriend, who was now revealed as a scoundrel.

Driver - We've arrived at your destination, miss. Do you need assistance getting to your house? You seem quite unwell.

Luna - No, thank you, sir. Here's your fare, keep the change.

Bypassing the driver's response, she quickly exited the vehicle, entering the gate and heading toward her home. The family's farm wasn't extensive, yet it took her three minutes to reach the main house. Upon entering, her mother and father were in the living room, and their gazes locked onto her instantly.

Leila - What's happened, Luna? Has someone hurt you, my daughter... was it that boyfriend of yours...

Luna - Mother. 😭😭😭😭😭

Letting her bag fall to the floor, she embraced her mother, breaking down further in tears while her mother surveyed her bruises.

Fabio - No need to say more, Luna. How many times have your mother and I told you that Guilherme is no good... Now I'll kill him...

Luna - N-no, Dad... please, it won't solve anything. 😭😭😭😭

Fabio - What do you mean it won't solve anything, Luna? You come home like this and say that? Your boyfriend needs to be arrested—if I don't kill him first.

Leila - He had no right to do this to you, Luna. That's a crime.

Luna - Mother, Dad... I-I'm pregnant. 😭😭😭😭

Fabio - How could you be so foolish as to get pregnant by that wretch, Luna? Since when have you been intimate with him?

Leila - Does he know you're pregnant and still hit you, Luna?

Luna - That's why he hit me, Mom. Guilherme lost his mind when I told him I was expecting his child. It was an accident, Mom. I was on the pill, but something went wrong. 😭😭😭😭

Fabio - What went wrong was sleeping with that no-good jerk. How could you, Luna?

Leila - What's the use of saying that now, Fabio? The deed is done, and I will not abandon my daughter over a mistake. What we need to do now is support and defend our daughter. We're going to the police station to file a complaint against that criminal.

Luna - If I go to the police, it'll be worse, Mom. He doesn't want this child and asked me to terminate. He said my baby is an inconvenience in his life... What now, Mom? 😭😭😭😭

Fabio - What now is a police report for assault. That Guilherme needs to be arrested for attacking his pregnant girlfriend, unless you'd rather I kill him?
