Pamela feels more cornered by someone younger than her, but just as tough, strong, and determined. Once again Pamela plays with men who are smarter than she is. She had made trouble with Fabrício, now it was with William."William, I'm sorry..." she starts to cry, hoping to soften his heart, "I didn't want to lose that baby. When the doctor said I was having an embryo forming inside me, it lived so little... I went crazy in pain; I cried rivers of tears, I...""Okay, Pamela, you don't have to remember all that pain." William interrupts her firmly, "I'm just upset that you never once came to me to talk to me. You chose to announce to everyone that the baby was Josias's, in a vain hope of having him for you.""Why do you say 'vain hope'? Is it so hard to win over Josias? He's still attracted to me, that's a fact." Pamela is offended."If it were that easy, he would be with you." William scoffs, approaching her, "But, he loved my sister from the begin

Pamela enters Carmen's room, already dressed and combed. Carmen is sitting on the bed, holding the manila envelope.Pamela closes the door and starts the conversation, "Well, here I am.""Pam, please tell me that you didn't know that," Carmen asks with a firm look.Pamela smiles in disbelief. She shakes her head. "Is it possible? I should ask you this question! You were the one who invited these people to our house, on that barbecue.""I invited some friends and they brought his friends. I didn't know Fabrício until the day of the barbecue. He talked about you and Melissa, so I gave him our home phone.""And since then he hasn't stopped calling me." Pamela, little by little, starts to vent, but without incriminating herself, "He always wants me to bring him close to Melissa, but it is clear that Melissa is not interested in him.""So that's why he took you to his house and tried to rape you?"Pamela chokes on the words. If she

Something inside Josias says that he cannot tell what happened to anyone who knows him. He feels that he has already told too many people: Teodoro, Uélton, Wallace, Melissa, Romualdo, Dora, and Simeon, even the enemy Pamela knows what happened. The more people who know, the more chances that the moneylender will find out.This, of course, was going on in Josias's troubled mind. Because there was no chance that anyone in the Bento family would be related to anyone in Rainbow Garden. But, it was fear that made Josias not reason clearly.For Josias, it was Tiago's insistence that made him afraid to tell. Josias shakes his head, terrified. "No, Tiago, I refuse! So, I tell Melissa that you are not hiring for now."Tiago raises his eyebrows. "How's it going, buddy? Will you prefer your girlfriend to be out of a job just to not answer me?""Yes. I told her that I preferred her at home taking care of the family." Josias disguises the real reason."B

Pamela smiles back and allows Wallace in. "I've been waiting for you all day. What happened?"Wallace enters and Pamela closes the door. "A lot has happened, Pamela. I need to talk to a friend."Friend? Are we already like this? Pamela smiles even more broadly. "You can talk."The two go to the couch, they sit in different places and face each other."I went to complain to my brother about why he didn't tell me that Melissa and Josias had resumed, we argued and he hit me a hammer in my head. I passed out and went to the hospital.""Oh, what savagery!" Pamela reacts in shock, "Why can't you men solve things civilly?""Don't even come with this one, Pamela!" Wallace chuckles, "Women when they want, they to go out to fight, too. Anyway, unfortunately, we said things that today we regret and my brother ended up losing control.""But, are you okay, do you feel better? Didn't the doctors say anything?"Wallace smiles at Pamela's conc

At night, Wallace appears in the lobby of Teodoro's building. He is doing the crossword puzzle leaning on the counter, while the radio plays "The Best You Can Do" by Christopher Cross. Wallace starts to laugh when comparing the music with the place and Teodoro looks up to see it."Good night, young man. What's so funny?" Teodoro asks, thinking that Wallace has gone mad."The music doesn't go very well with this place. Arthur would never live here." Wallace replies, controlling his laughter, "Excuse me, sir. I came to see my younger brother.""Josias warned me that maybe you would come, so I wouldn't think that you would come just to hit him." Teodoro speaks cautiously, "Third floor, room number seven. But, please, young Freire, be patient and civilized.""You can rest assured, I came to make peace and not declare war anymore," Wallace reassures the owner of the building with a smile and goes upstairs.In fact, what is the use of warring if Wallace
