Tom Pacheco

🌙 Codes and Rules

Never feed on city dwellers.

Never reveal yourself, not even under threat.

Do not transform anyone without Diego's consent.

🕯️ Rising Risks

With the involvement of Summer, Lívia, Lucas and other people close to the school and the town, the secret is at risk of being discovered. Summer, without knowing it, has already mentioned that she feels that Diego and Tom's eyes sometimes "glow strangely at night". And there are rumors of mysterious attacks on animals on neighboring farms, which coincide with the nights of the new moon...

Hidden Secret of the Pacheco Family: The Vampires of São Miguel

🧛‍♂️ Diego Pacheco – The Ancient Vampire in Disguise

Behind the appearance of a powerful and seductive businessman, Diego Pacheco hides his true nature: he is a centuries-old vampire, born more than 160 years ago in Eastern Europe. Over the centuries, he traveled the world and accumulated wealth, influence and wisdom. His latest new beginning was in São Miguel, where he assumed a new identity and built his empire of local businesses — always maintaining an impeccable human facade.

He does not age and has mastered the power of subtle hypnosis, heightened senses and super strength. To maintain discretion, he feeds in a controlled manner: voluntary donations, blood bags diverted by secret contacts or carefully chosen victims - always with their memories erased afterwards.

Diego guards his secret with great care, knowing that if it is revealed, it will put not only his life at risk, but the lives of everyone around him.

🧛 Tom Pacheco – The Half-Human, Half-Vampire Son

Tom was born from Diego's union with a human 15 years ago. Unlike his father, he is still partially human, but he has inherited several vampiric abilities: heightened senses, rapid healing, above-normal strength, and a psychic connection with his father. His transformation process is incomplete — and will be completed when he turns 18, if he drinks human blood for the first time.

Tom lives divided between two worlds: high school with his friends and the tension of carrying a dark legacy. Only Diego and Tom know the truth, and this secret is the strongest — and most dangerous — link between father and son.

Arnaldo and Diego seemed like old friends by the end of the afternoon, talking about business, life in the city and, of course, their children. In a more private moment, Arnaldo had the courage to ask directly:

— “Diego, if you have any space in one of your companies… I need it. Things are tight at home, you know?”

Diego listened carefully, looked into his eyes and answered sincerely:

— “Of course, Arnaldo. I’ll look into it carefully and call you later this week. You can count on me.”

That promise rekindled hope in Arnaldo's eyes.

Sofia, in turn, made a point of saying more than once:

— “Mom, I want to come back here again! This pool is the most beautiful I’ve ever seen!”

The house, the food, the weather... everything was working in her favor. Summer remembered Tom's smile when they all laughed together in the backyard, and the way he'd hugged her proudly in front of her family. For the first time, all the tension had melted away.

When the day was over, the families said goodbye like old acquaintances. Summer and Tom's relationship received official support from both sides. And Summer, lying in bed that night, thought with a slight smile:

“I gained more than a psi. I gained peace, connection… and maybe even a new friendship with my most admired father in town.”

☀️ Summer Memories – The Barbecue at Diego Pacheco’s House

It was a clear and muggy Sunday in São Miguel, the cloudless blue sky announced the typical heat of the interior of Minas Gerais. Summer remembered that day fondly and with a certain nervousness: the barbecue at Diego Pacheco's house, where her two families, hers and Tom's, would finally meet.

From the gate, the elegant wooden house with a spacious backyard, well-kept garden and a large swimming pool in the back caught the attention of Sofia, her little sister, who could hardly wait to ask for her swimsuit and dive in. Dona Marta, her mother, was fascinated by the rustic luxury style of the mansion, praising every corner of the house. And Arnaldo, her father, although a little intimidated at first, soon broke the ice with a good conversation with Diego Pacheco around the barbecue.

Summer, who already knew Diego's welcoming side, felt relieved to see her parents being so well received. Diego treated them with respect and politeness from start to finish, something that surprised his parents — who were used to seeing the man as an unattainable city figure, too rich to care about simple people.

Dona Marta, between laughter and glasses of cold juice, confided in her daughter in a low voice:

— “Summer… your father-in-law is so handsome. And what a body, my daughter… and educated! What a classy man! But simple, you know? I was enchanted.”

Summer laughed, a little embarrassed, but pleased to see her mother melting with Diego's charm.

Arnaldo and Diego seemed like old friends by the end of the afternoon, talking about business, life in the city and, of course, their children. In a more private moment, Arnaldo had the courage to ask directly:

— “Diego, if you have any space in one of your companies… I need it. Things are tight at home, you know?”

Diego listened carefully, looked into his eyes and answered sincerely:

— “Of course, Arnaldo. I’ll look into it carefully and call you later this week. You can count on me.”

That promise rekindled hope in Arnaldo's eyes.

🏡 Pacheco Family House – Simple, imposing and traditional

Located on a quiet, wide street in the upscale part of São Miguel, the Pacheco family home does not boast marble or golden columns, but it commands respect in another way: through its good taste, its space and the striking presence of those who live there.

Structure and Style:

Built in varnished noble wood, with a classic Minas Gerais finish.

Pitched roof with traditional ceramic tiles.

A porch with wooden benches in front of the house, where Diego usually sits on Sunday mornings to read the newspaper or drink coffee.

Large windows with white shutters and planters with colorful flowers underneath, always well-kept.

Front of the House:

A large grassy yard right in front, with fruit trees on the sides (such as jabuticaba and guava trees) and a simple stone path connecting the gate to the front door.

On the left, a covered garage for two cars, with a stone floor and wooden structure.

Inside the House:

Spacious living room with rustic and comfortable furniture, ceiling fan and a bookshelf with books and old souvenirs from Diego.

Semi-open concept kitchen, with light wood cabinets, gas stove and a large, practical dining table in the center.

Social bathroom between the living room and the kitchen, used by guests and also by the smaller bedrooms.

Four rooms in total:

One is Diego's suite, with a double bed, large closet, fan, private bathroom and a desk where he analyzes contracts.

One is Tom's room, more modern, with a single bed, study table, bookshelf and computer.

The other two are guest rooms or storage rooms, but they are well-maintained — one of them could be adapted for another family member in the future.

House Funds:

A large grassy backyard, ideal for gatherings and weekend parties.

In the background, a simple rectangular pool, with light tiles and a parasol.

Next to it, a covered barbecue area, with sink, g

Companions and accomplices. Summer is his balance, his courage and his constant provocation. Tom trusts her more than anyone else.

Tom, upon hearing Summer call his father Diego daddy, felt his heart beat and felt so warm, this feeling made him fall in love with hearing this.

Relationship with his father Diego Pacheco: He loves and admires Diego, but feels constant pressure to “be like him”. He questions his father's decisions, but still doesn't have the courage to confront him openly. He does everything his father asks, he is a fan of his father and the thing that makes Tom happiest is receiving a compliment from Diego.
