CHAPTER 589
Harrera noticed immediately that Juliana was quieter than usual when he picked her up the following afternoon. She got into the car, greeted him with a smile and fastened her seatbelt, but something about her expression told him she had something on her mind. “You're quiet,” he said. “Am I?” “Yes.” Juliana looked out the window. “My father knows about yesterday.” Harrera's hands tightened slightly around the steering wheel. “What did he say?” “He was angry.” Harrera gave a small, knowing laugh. “I expected that.” “He yelled at Raphael and Emiliano before I even came home.” Harrera glanced at her. “I'm sorry.” “He didn't forbid me from seeing you.” That surprised him. “He didn't?” “No.” Harrera smiled. “Your father is changing.” Juliana shook her head. “Don't get too excited. He told me never to go back to your family's mansion.” Harrera's smile faded. “I understand.” Juliana turned toward him. “He said he doesn't trust your family.
CHAPTER 588
Thiago almost smiled despite himself, but the smile disappeared quickly. “I want you safe.” “I am safe.” “You don't know that.” “Harrera has never hurt me.” “I didn't say he had.” “Then why do you keep treating him like he has?” Thiago went silent. Because he couldn't explain everything. He couldn't tell her that decades of hatred had taught him not to trust anything connected to Don Marcelo. He couldn't explain how much he feared the old feud swallowing his daughter. Instead, he said, “Because sometimes danger doesn't announce itself.” Juliana looked at him for a long moment. Then she spoke quietly. “I understand you're scared.” Thiago's eyes softened. “But you can't keep expecting me to live my entire life afraid of what happened between you and Don Marcelo.” The words struck him. Juliana continued. “Your feud is yours, Dad. It doesn't have to become mine.” Thiago looked away. For a moment, neither spoke. Then Juliana added, “I love you.
CHAPTER 587
Thiago looked between his sons. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. His daughter was now involved with Harrera Marcelo. She had visited the Marcelo mansion. And his sons were standing there explaining why they couldn't stop her. The situation felt like a nightmare. “Does she know what she is doing?” Raphael answered quietly. “She believes she does.” Thiago scoffed. “She doesn't know that family.” “She knows Harrera.” “That is exactly the problem!” Thiago pointed toward the door. “Harrera is a Marcelo before he is anything else.” Raphael didn't respond. Because that was the part he couldn't completely dismiss. He had been suspicious of Harrera himself. He still was. But he had no proof. And without proof, he couldn't tell his father that Harrera was responsible for Andrew's disappearance. Thiago noticed his silence. “What?” “Nothing.” “No. You were about to say something.” Raphael shook his head. “It's not important.” Thiago'
CHAPTER 586
His mother seemed satisfied with the answer. She smiled. “That's enough.” Then she suddenly frowned. “But your father…” Harrera's expression changed. “My father doesn't need to know everything today.” His mother gave him a knowing look. “You think he won't find out?” “No.” “And when he does?” Harrera glanced at Juliana. “Then I'll handle it.” His mother studied him. There was something in his voice that made her realize how serious he was. She reached for his hand. “You've really decided?” Harrera nodded. “I have.” She looked between her son and Juliana. Then she smiled. “My son finally brought his childhood sweetheart home.” Juliana laughed. “Childhood sweetheart?” His mother nodded. “That's what you are.” Harrera smiled. “I've been waiting to hear her being called that.” Juliana shook her head. “You two are impossible.” His mother laughed again. The afternoon passed quickly. Before they left, Harrera's mother held Jul
CHAPTER 585
Upstairs, Juliana stood beside her bedroom window. She looked down at her phone. There were no new messages. No missed calls. No sign of Andrew. She stared at the screen for a long moment before locking it. Then she thought about Harrera. His voice. His patience. The way he had stayed. She smiled faintly. Maybe this was what moving forward looked like. Maybe love wasn't always about waiting for the person you once believed was your forever. Sometimes, perhaps, it was about choosing the person who remained. Juliana placed her phone on the table. She didn't know that far away, Andrew was still alive. She didn't know Kelvin was secretly planning to disappear with him. And she certainly didn't know that the man she had just agreed to call her boyfriend was carrying a secret that could destroy everything she had chosen. For now, Juliana believed she had finally closed the chapter on Andrew. But some chapters refused to end simply because someone deci
CHAPTER 584
Raphael waited until Harrera had left before he spoke to Juliana. He had deliberately said nothing when he saw them together earlier. Whatever had happened between them was something Juliana needed to explain herself, not something he wanted to confront her about in front of Harrera. Now the house was quiet. Juliana was walking toward the stairs when Raphael's voice stopped her. “Juliana.” She turned. Raphael stood in the hallway with his arms folded. Her heart immediately sank. “What?” Raphael studied her face for a moment. “Are you really with Harrera now?” Juliana hesitated. “Yes.” Raphael nodded slowly. He wasn't angry. That somehow made her more nervous. “How long have you been planning this?” “We weren't planning anything.” “Then what happened?” Juliana sighed. “Harrera asked me to be his girlfriend.” “And you said yes.” “Yes.” Raphael looked away for a moment, then back at her. “Why?” The question was simple. Juliana didn't an
