GABRIEL CASTÁN WAS experiencing a meteoric rise in his work as a stylist, at the end of the year 2000, not because of the work itself, but because of his old romance with the owner of one of the most famous brands in the world of recent times "Fif' Two".
Although Gabriel is married to a former model who gave up her career to accompany him around the world, both realized that time was cruel, and the wild ideas he had at the beginning were just the excitement of the beginning of his career, and the talent faded. if by the fingers next to the dreams.
Gabriel and Estefânia survived the crisis of five, ten and now faced the crisis of fifteen years of marriage in a less painful way, both had flaws and had to put up with each other and there was nothing they could do.
IN THE BEGINNING, Estefânia's DREAM was to have a child to keep the foundation of the relationship solid, but time passed and she ended up discovering that Gabriel was sterile and could not generate a life.
Even at her thirty-five years of age, she still maintained the same exuberant beauty that made her discover the world through the most famous catwalks in the world.
Estefânia had been sung by the most diverse men for some time and did not give up the love she had for her husband who had always been affectionate and gave her the life of a queen.
Suddenly, Gabriel has excellent ideas again and has been hired by Jean Desjardin, owner of Fif'Two.
Things went back to how they were at the beginning of their relationship and you could see the happiness and pride in her eyes, until the day she received a letter with two compromising photos, one of them hugging her lover, and the other of her husband kissing another man…
Jean Desjardin... the lover of the two...
As bad as it might seem, Estefânia was not bothered at all by the letter, if it were made public, it would of course be a huge headache, as Jean was also married to a respected French actress.
Estefânia burned the photo and the letter and went on with her life as if none of that had bothered her.
INSTEAD OF WHAT HIS wife did, Gabriel looked at the photos and felt chills, even though he was not an open homosexual, having an affair with Jean had given him the opportunity to return to the scene in the fashion world.
Jean looked at the photos and smiled sarcastically.
— What's the problem?
— It could ruin our careers.
— Anyone who understands a little about computers could do an even better montage than this one.
My innocence...
THE DAYS WERE PASSING by and no one said anything, no one tried to extort them or anything.
Gabriel felt that Estefânia had not woken up well that day.
— Did something happen, love?
Estefânia woke up from her trance.
— There is! Oh! No, it's okay, honey.
Estefania didn't know what it was, but she felt something good inside her.
Will be?
After her husband left for work, Estefânia went to a pharmacy and bought a pregnancy test.
***
PARIS — 1980
JEAN DESJARDIN STARTED his brand in the garage of his house together with his best friend. They made several drawings — mostly Punk — and sold them at school. After two years of hard work, an illustrious client wore one of his T-shirts to a historic show in Paris, which boosted sales by eight hundred percent.
With Fit'Two's sudden success came the best party invites, the really pretty girls and the hardest drugs.
Pierre, Jean's best friend and partner, threw himself body and soul into that life.
— I've never been as inspired as I am now — Pierre said after a trip.
But Jean realized that the drugs consumed him day by day, and that it was only a matter of time before his best friend left the path free and he conquered the world.
Pierre was found dead of an overdose after a party and no one had associated his death with Jean, after all, like every great successful man in the fashion world, he sold beauty and even death needed to be refined.
Jean knelt next to his friend's lifeless body and put a rose in his mouth and smiled satisfied with himself, but something was still missing, a kind of divine blessing. He closed his eyes and couldn't explain why he had seen an image of a Catholic saint, but that brought the inspiration he needed.
He walked slowly into the kitchen and opened a can of tomato sauce and circled his friend's head.
Anyway, Jean knew what it was like to have a divine vision.
SUDDENLY FEELINGS mingled inside her, a euphoria that took over her entire being.
I'm generating a life inside me...
The child's father entered the room and asked:
— Did something happen?
Estefania quickly wiped away her tears.
— A miracle has happened.
She placed her hand over her belly.
— Sorry I...
He looked at his hand and realized what had happened and anger took over him completely due to her betrayal.
If it hadn't been for the intervention of a girl named Esperanza who was working for her, without a shadow of a doubt the damn thing would have killed her.
After the terror had passed, Esperanza took a wet cloth and wiped her mistress's face.
— Are you okay?
— My son, I'm not feeling it.
She fainted.
TWO HOURS LATER the doctor came to examine her.
— So, doctor? — Estefania said apprehensively.
— Sorry, sweetheart, but I'm afraid I have to give you bad news.
Estefania didn't say anything, she just let a tear run down her face.
