The Tide of Fortune novel Chapter 3

Bewildered by the bizarre situation, Reginaldo doesn't think of anything else: he goes down the stairs and runs out of the mansion under Laura and Eduardo's malicious laughter.

Outside, Reginaldo finds his car. The year is 2021, but his Celta is 2010. Unlike his wife and family, Reginaldo is not into material goods.

Upon entering and starting the engine, Reginaldo leaves with the car at high speed, unable to bear the three years of humiliation he has been through.

Leaving Sunset Village for the urban area of ​​Lagoon City, the Carlos Campos Highway was still between uninhabited spaces, except for the occasional bordered neighborhood. In the past, Sunset Village was isolated from the rest of the city as an exclusive place for rich and powerful people.

The maximum speed allowed was 80 km, but Reginaldo's car was well above that.

Inside the car, Reginaldo was almost crying with rage and was holding the steering wheel tight as if he were strangling Eduardo.

"Who do these two think they are? Why do these people think they can do whatever they want? Will they put me in jail if I get divorced? They'll have to catch me first!"

Reginaldo stomps on the accelerator as if he were stepping on Laura's head.

Before he met her at the club, his life was quiet and peaceful.

Reginaldo moved to Lagoon City without his family. He was only friends with the roommate he shared the rent.

He wanted to try his luck in this promising city as well as among countless capixaba citizens.

Selling popsicles on the beach was the only option he could find, but Reggie wasn't shy about the role. On the contrary, he managed to make good money because Sunset Villagers paid dearly for popsicles.

He never defrauded his friend on the rent and had no debts.

It was because he had money left over that Reginaldo decided to go with his friend to the Night Lagoon nightclub to celebrate. And that's when his life took a turn for the worse.

When meditating on how different Reginaldo's life could have been if it weren't for his drunkenness and for having crossed Laura Ferreira's path, he punches the steering wheel, exploding with fury.
