But her life will take an incredible turn as time goes by. At each stage of her life, Luna discovers that it takes a lot of maturity, as well as wisdom, to become a better person. Being able to find out what she really wanted in her life. Becoming then a strong woman.

Chapter 1 Where did I come from!

Luna was a 17-year-old girl who lived in Morro da Fé. She lived her life to the extreme. She never thought about anything, she made her life one big "Fuck you" button. She didn't care about anything, and neither did anyone, because she knew that if she did, she would suffer the consequences of her attitudes, so she tried to become a more mature woman for her age. But still thinking about the consequences.

These consequences, which later she will have to bear, having to endure, with everything she has already done, despite Luna living to the extreme, she was a good girl for her parents, she always got good grades, she always walked in line, but why then did she "live life to the fullest"? This happened right after she met Leo.

Good! I'm Fran, her best friend, and I'm going to tell you a little about "my friend Luna". She was beautiful, with a beautiful smile, a seductive look, who conquered everything she wanted, without having to insist, or humiliate herself for someone.

She was always a devoted and consoling friend, if I remember correctly, she gave the best advice to everyone, but not to herself, always looking out for others, but who took care of her? Simply nobody. It hurt her a lot.

She then decided to live life to the extreme, became a bad girl, not doing mean things to others, more in terms of hurting feelings, without even feeling an ounce of guilt. Hurting was her specialty.

You could call it selfish, because that's what she had become. Luna knew what she wanted from her life, but even so, she insisted on being this fake person, so one day, I asked Luna.

- Who do you think you're kidding? pretending to be who you are not?.

Luna simply replied!

- I'm not being who I am, because who I am is very good for everyone, except for herself!

I was in shock for a moment, but I knew what she was talking about, sometimes we need to be who we are not, not to be made an idiot, because when you're young, you're made a "workhorse". Workhorse for everyone even his family. Being deceived, humiliated and even belittled by inferior people.

Luna never accepted the separation of her parents, however over the years, she was taking it easy, that she had two houses. One that she only spent the weekend, It's the other that stayed during the week.

That was the week she wanted to end soon, so she could go to her father's house, there she said she had more freedom, she stayed on the street, went out to have fun, slept late, it was a glamorous life. Unlike the life she had with her mother who only worked, while she did many things alone.

One fine day, I saw Luna very sad, with a downcast face. So I did everything for her not to be sad, because as her "alleged friend", I felt obliged to help her, to end this damn sadness. As soon as she got more cheerful, I asked?

- What happened this time?

She smiled and simply said that nothing had happened. As well? Do people get sad out of nowhere?

Luna was a little weird, could it be that she had a lot of problems, poorly organized in her head. To me she looked mean, but to her, she just thought it was okay. Nothing looked bad to her, even her sad face.

Once I saw Luna, chatting with a beautiful boy, she told me that she liked him very much. Only he, he wasn't a boy for her, made Luna lose herself, in her lying words. I've seen him flirting with several girls in his class, one even hated her, because she thought Luna had stolen him from her. Since they weren't even boyfriends, just hookups.

Tell the truth! I think he had something with this girl, because it wouldn't be possible for someone to hate another without even knowing it, or is it just hate for hate? Because Luna is prettier than her!

I can't say, but there was a time when this "such a boy" despised Luna, asking this girl to accompany him. My friend was devastated, she couldn't stop crying, so she told me. "I know what he wants", but I'm afraid to tell a secret of mine", then she continued talking, "if he found out about that, they would tell everyone, and I would be a laughing stock".

I was simply shocked by her words, as I considered myself Luna's "best friend". How could he not know some of her secrets? How did she even have things to hide from me? I was a pain in the ass, or she just didn't trust me, to the point of hiding a secret that I wasn't worthy of knowing, I kept thinking to myself, and I kept asking myself the following questions. What are these secrets? What is she hiding from this trash boy?

Despite these questions, in my mind, I let it go, because I didn't know Luna as well as I thought, because she never invited me, to go to her mother's house, so I never asked to go to her house too. Until one day, she came to my house desperate, asking for my help, so she simply said.

- Luna want to ask you something?

Luna said

- Ask!

- What is this secret?

She just got sad, as she said it with a crying tone.

- I told that boy that I lived in a condominium. But it's not true!

She kept talking...

- Not only that, I also lied that I wasn't a virgin, but I still am!

I asked her, where do you live anyway?

Well, knowing that she lied about not being a virgin anymore, it will, but since I had never been to Luna's house, I just didn't know where she came from.

Luna then told me...

- I live on the hill, so I didn't want to tell anyone, it's not that I'm ashamed of my house, or my origin, but I don't want him to find out about it.

Like this! because she was afraid to tell this boy where she came from. I never asked myself, but I found some slang familiar, favela dances, which she knew, even her clothes, which were very similar to those of funkeiras here.

This was not to be ashamed of, but to say, where you really come from. I kept thinking about the way Luna told me, that's when I thought and had an idea, then I started telling her.

- Why don't you tell him the truth, if he loves you, or likes you as he says. He'll accept you anyway, however if he doesn't like you, he'll be prejudiced. Thus giving you an out.

Luna, smiled speaking.

- You're right, if he really likes me, he'll accept me the way I am, and where I come from, because I also don't know where he really lives!

Every time we kissed, it was right in the square.

I found it very strange, he didn't tell her where he comes from either. Does he also have some hidden secret?

I stopped, analyzed, giving her strength, to go tell "such a boy". So she went to meet him, to tell a little more of his story.

When people like each other, or even love each other, where they come from doesn't really matter, just love, that's what counts for both.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."

Nicole had entered marriage with Walter, a man who never returned her feelings, bound to him through an arrangement made by their families rather than by choice. Even so, she had held onto the quiet belief that time might soften his heart and that one day he would learn to love her. However, that day never came. Instead, he treated her with constant contempt, tearing her down with cruel words and dismissing her as fat and manipulative whenever it suited him. After two years of a cold and distant marriage, Walter demanded a divorce, delivering his decision in the most degrading manner he could manage. Stripped of her dignity and exhausted by the humiliation, Nicole agreed to her friend Brenda's plan to make him see what he had lost. The idea was simple but daring. She would use another man to prove that the woman Walter had mocked and insulted could still be desired by someone else. All they had to do was hire a gigolo. Patrick had endured one romantic disappointment after another. Every woman he had been involved with had been drawn not to him, but to his wealth. As one of the heirs to a powerful and influential family, he had long accepted that this pattern was almost unavoidable. What Patrick wanted was far more difficult to find. He longed to fall in love with a woman who cared for him as a person, not for the name he carried or the fortune attached to it. One night, while he was at a bar, an attractive stranger approached him. Because of his appearance and composed demeanor, she mistook him for a gigolo. She made an unconventional proposal, one that immediately caught his interest and proved impossible for him to refuse.

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.

I watched my husband sign the papers that would end our marriage while he was busy texting the woman he actually loved. He didn't even glance at the header. He just scribbled the sharp, jagged signature that had signed death warrants for half of New York, tossed the file onto the passenger seat, and tapped his screen again. "Done," he said, his voice devoid of emotion. That was Dante Moretti. The Underboss. A man who could smell a lie from a mile away but couldn't see that his wife had just handed him an annulment decree disguised beneath a stack of mundane logistics reports. For three years, I scrubbed his blood out of his shirts. I saved his family's alliance when his ex, Sofia, ran off with a civilian. In return, he treated me like furniture. He left me in the rain to save Sofia from a broken nail. He left me alone on my birthday to drink champagne on a yacht with her. He even handed me a glass of whiskey—her favorite drink—forgetting that I despised the taste. I was merely a placeholder. A ghost in my own home. So, I stopped waiting. I burned our wedding portrait in the fireplace, left my platinum ring in the ashes, and boarded a one-way flight to San Francisco. I thought I was finally free. I thought I had escaped the cage. But I underestimated Dante. When he finally opened that file weeks later and realized he had signed away his wife without looking, the Reaper didn't accept defeat. He burned down the world to find me, obsessed with reclaiming the woman he had already thrown away.
