Rise of the White Dragon

After much consideration, when Catharina returned, she ended up showing the video she filmed to Renato Lopes.

"Haha..." With a chuckle, full of dismay, Renato Lopes' shoulders slumped: "So he wasn't her gay friend after all."

Catharina already expected that he would be sad, after all, she saw by the way he showed that he loved that girl b... But, she still felt sad to see him like that.

Renato Lopes noticed that Catharina was sad for him, and he was a little touched, he was also grateful for her calling him to a corner to talk about it and not doing it in front of the others from the Elite Squad.

He thought Bia was the right girl. Even though she was very foul-mouthed, he didn't expect that it wasn't just the way she spoke that was foul...

"Thanks for telling me, it must have been hard." Renato Lopes said, forcing a smile.

"I… did I do it right? I considered not telling you, I saw how happy-"

"Do not blame yourself." Renato Lopes shook his head and gestured with his hand for her not to worry, he also thanked her: "I'd rather find out now than find out later. Sooner or later I would find out, but… What do I do with it now?"

With a sad look on his face, he was holding a box that was possibly a ring box.

"Were you going to ask her to marry you!?" Catharina ended up raising her voice at the sight of this.

"Shhh!" Renato Lopes signaled for her to be silent and said in a low and discouraged tone: "Yes, I was going to order next month when we were going to vacation in Paris."

He added upon seeing the guilt on Catharina's face: "Don't feel guilty, I already told you, I'm happy to find that out before I order. At least I can accept that more easily. Although I admit I am very upset to find out that the woman I love was cheating on me."

"I know it might be cliché to say this, but I think I should tell you." Catharina said softly, "You are a good man; you are very handsome, you have a good job, as far as I know, you are very respectful towards women, you have a lot of charisma, funny, and much more."

"Mmm, thanks." He chuckled a little at the way Catharina scratched her fingers as she said such things to him. Yes, she was right, he himself knew that many women were interested in him.

Maybe it was difficult for him to get into a relationship with someone before joining the Elite Squad, but with his current financial situation, where he's even managed to buy his mother a beach house and have a triplex of his own...

However, that wasn't something he wanted to think about now, what he wanted to do now was take a cold shower and cool his head, maybe even cry... His hands were trembling, he even thought about making a mistake, but he took a deep breath. and calmed down.

After a while, Renato Lopes said to Catharina: "Tell them that someone in my family got sick and I had to go see them, okay?"

"Are you going to be okay alone?" Catharina asked worriedly.

"Yeah, I know what to do, don't worry, I won't do anything stupid I might regret later and…Thanks for telling me and trying to comfort me."

After saying all this, a pair of mechanical wings appeared on his back and he took off flying at great speed.

Perhaps it was her impression, but Catharina could have sworn she saw drops of water running down Renato Lopes' face.

'I hope that telling you was the right decision...' Catharina looked at the sky and sighed.

She had never done anything like this before. After all, it's not every day that you catch a friend's girlfriend/wife leaving a motel with another man intimately and even kissing.

However, that was something she couldn't just go around talking to someone else. She didn't want to go around spreading the word about what happened, as much as she wanted to talk to someone about it.

In the end, Catharina told the members of the Elite Squad that Renato Lopes had to go because of family problems and went to the other side of the island to train movements.

When the sky turned smoky gray and the rain looked like it was going to fall at any moment, Renato Lopes turned the house key and went inside. It had been a long day, many things he needed to think about and reflect on. He'd already taken off his shoes before he left and the cold floor felt refreshing under his feet as he walked through the door.

As he stood there, pensive and looking away, he had no idea when he got to the bathroom.

'How long has she been having this affair? How long have I been cuckold?'

Renato Lopes tried to remember if there was any possibility that this was his girlfriend's first and only lover.

'It doesn't really matter...' He didn't intend to be with her anymore, whether she did it for the first time or not.

After a cold shower, he changed his clothes. There were some traces of Bia in his house. He almost had the urge to throw everything on the street, as he has seen in some videos spread across the internet.

Picking up a suitcase, Renato Lopes started to take everything that belonged to Bia and put it in the suitcase.

She slept over at his house several nights, not so much because this triplex was something he'd recently bought. Most of the things she had in his old house, she had already taken back to her mother's, where she usually stayed.

'Mother-in-law...' Renato Lopes released another cold sigh.

He got on very well with his mother-in-law. She was more of a friend than a mother-in-law, despite being the mother of his future ex-girlfriend, she is very young, at 32 years old.

The reason she was a mother at age 11... Well, let's just say she had no idea that asking her stepfather something, something she learned in school, would make her end up in a situation where there was no turning back.

And the reason she still had the child and didn't have an abortion was because of the risk that clandestine abortion would pose to her, both because she was young, and because it was something with great risk.
