In the Rocha penthouse, Katherine is talking to her father on the phone.“Dad, has the phone company already run the cables to the farm?”“No, I still have to come to Itaporanga.” Ephraim complains, “Daughter, have you finished packing to go home?”Katherine rolls her eyes, “Dad, stop asking that. I love Josias and I will be Mrs. Rocha.”“That's funny, I don't find any of that in the papers that come around here.”“That's exactly why I don't want to go back to the countryside!” Katherine barks, “We seem to be isolated from the rest of the world!”“Oh, so things are happening there?” Ephraim asks with understanding.“Yes, I am managing to please Josias as an exemplary housewife and mother. By the way, I need to take J.J to the dentist because he's having his teeth changed. You never ask how your grandson is.”Ephraim says again, “Okay, daughter, I won't make you late for your appointment. Goodbye!”“Bye, d—” Katherine realizes that Ephraim has already hung up. She hangs up the phone an

On Saturday, the party in honor of Rocha Constructions takes place in the Rocha Hotel party pavilion. The occasion was also given for the opening of the same hotel.All the guests parade through the exquisite space in their gala attire. The party was set to the song “Fields of Gold” by Sting.Maggiezine photographers went out of their way to capture the best moments. The next issue would feature the party as a cover article to attract readers.Josias posed alone for the photos. This was not the time to cause love disputes or disagreements by posing with Melissa.Melissa, in turn, entered the pavilion wearing an imposing red sleeveless dress, with a shawl of the same color covering her shoulders. Kelvin was beside her looking sexy in his tuxedo.Angela understood that Josias deserved rest and didn't insist on clinging to him like a gecko. She and Gustavo sat at a table with David to nibble on snacks.“Aren't you going to take pictures with David's father?” Gustavo asks her.“I know ver

Katherine comes out of the ladies' room completely bewildered, as if she has labyrinthitis or is drunk. She visualizes Jock wearing his navy blue tuxedo and rushes up to him.“You mean the redneck managed to buy a jacket to come to the gents' party?” She speaks mockingly.Jock suppresses the urge to slap her, “Why are you always so mean to me? What did I do wrong to you?”“You agreed to marry me when I wanted to be Josias's wife.” Katherine snatches a glass of champagne from a waiter to someone else.“First, I obeyed your father's command; second, you are a hot girl and I was dying to have marital relations with you. Don’t condemn me for being a man.”Katherine drinks the champagne in one go, “Argh! You are disgusting! You never speak to me again!”“But it was you who addressed me!” Jock retorts. Has champagne ever made Katherine drunk?Not yet, but Katherine goes on drinking glass after glass, without measuring the consequences.Meanwhile, the DJ put on a more classical and danceable

The next day, Frederick was satisfied that it was Sunday. After straining the coffee and buying bread, he patiently waited for Jock to show up and explain everything.Jock appears wearing only white boxer shorts and with a disposition as if he has not performed something extenuate and exhausting all night long. He still feels entitled to smirk."Good morning, Jock." Frederick wastes no time, "Can we understand what happened yesterday?"Jock sits at the table and serves himself, "What happened yesterday was that I met my ex-wife again and finally I could consummate the broken marriage."Frederick narrows his eyes, "While you were married there on the farm, did you never have marital intimacy?""No, Kate always rejected me." Jock breaks the smug smile, "She always had hopes of mating again with Mr. Rocha. When her father said he was going to dissolve our marriage, she didn’t even disguise her happiness. It hurt my man ego, so I took all my frustration out on her yesterday.""And did she

The landline of the Rocha penthouse rings without ceasing, but Josias and João Paulo have already left the place. It remains to a fatigued Katherine to crawl to answer the call."You can’t rest in peace in this penthouse! Hello?""Hello, good morning! This is Maggie Marçal. Am I bothering you?"All the tiredness and pain in Katherine’s legs go away in seconds. Katherine adopts a more inviting tone of voice, "Hello, but of course not! This is Katherine Bezerra, the future Mrs. Rocha.""Nice to find you, Miss Bezerra. We met and I was supposed to set up a meeting for us to talk better, remember?""Yes, and I waited for your call." Katherine is thrilled."Well, let’s have lunch at Crystal Blue for—""No, please, let’s not meet in such a familiar place!" Katherine panics.If Angela goes through the huge windowpane of Crystal Blue and finds them talking, surely she will report them to Josias!"Come to lunch here at the Rocha Penthouse. I’ll instruct the doorman to let you in." Katherine gu
