Matheus got worse and worse, he became a cold, selfish, petty and aggressive person. Even the father noticed that he had changed for the worse and Leonardo wondered what had happened to his son. Secretly, he missed the old Matheus, the son who was affectionate, who worried about him, who liked to hug him and who wanted to be like him, but Matheus became more and more like Leonardo in the worst aspects.

Leonardo began to worry about his son, as he no longer had control over Matheus. He was no longer intimidated and didn't even obey him anymore. Matheus became an enemy to Leonardo and his family, treating them with indifference and contempt. Matheus treated his grandmother,

Leonardo's mother, rudely, he didn't want to touch her and wiped his hands when he touched her. As for his uncles, he didn't respect them, and with his cousins, even worse. Matheus took pleasure in seeing them with a problem, he ridiculed them.

Leonardo could not realize that he was the cause of all this trouble and was reaping what he had sown. Leonardo narrating

Thought: I'm worried about this kid, he keeps questioning me, challenging me and doesn't respect me. But he keeps asking what's in that room, why his mother left, if he's really my son, where I get so much money to pay for my luxuries, and he asks about my father.

He challenged me, pushing me against the wall and looking deep into my eyes. I can't leave the room, I'm sick and I can't get up.

Damn it, without my leadership, the whole scheme will fall apart. And if Matheus finds out, he can blackmail me.

Matheus appears at the bedroom door with my food, with a mocking smile.

Matheus: — Here's your food, father — he said ironically, while he watched Leonardo lying on the bed, unable to get up from it.

Leonardo stared at Matheus.

Matheus places the food on the table next to Leonardo's bed.

You don't intimidate anyone, you're weak — Matheus said while smiling and pointing his finger at Leonardo.

Leonardo was stunned, it sounded like his own father speaking those words. Before his father passed away, Leonardo and his father became enemies and the fight between the two became more frequent.

Matheus sits on a bench next to Leonardo while looking at his face and smiling.

“A family full of closely guarded secrets, a father who hates his son because he's not a wolf, money that grows from trees, people who mysteriously disappear, expensive clothes, expensive furniture and a mysterious room. — Matheus said as he approached Leonardo.

Leonardo, irritated, grabs Matheus by the shirt and starts to growl, showing his fangs.

Calm down, papa wolf, if you are a father — says Matheus ironically.

Shut up! said Leonardo while growling at Matheus.

You're hiding something, and I'm going to find out — says Matheus.

Leonardo slaps Matheus.

— Oops, if it's going to hurt, you'll have to do better than that — says Matheus — I'll show you how it's done — he said giving the change.

Leonardo starts to growl and pulls Matheus close to him, the two rolled over on the bed, exchanging strength with both trying to bite each other. The two fell to the ground and continued fighting, and Leonardo with his teeth on display trying to dominate the situation.
