At Rocha Constructions, Josias is pensive in his chalk-striped suit in the conference room. He's standing, staring out the window, staring at the cityscape of Lagoon City.The image he never dreamed of didn't leave his mind: Katherine taking the initiative...“I want a divorce!”Josias forces the tears not to run down his face.“Katherine Bezerra... Your father kidnapped me when I was injured, made my family think I was dead, and tried to shove you into my life so that I would marry you and stay on his farm. How dare you now call the shots in this story? Do you think you'll get away with it so easily?”The door opens and in comes Tiago, Octavio, Alfred... and Romualdo.Josias turns to the gentlemen and is amazed at the presence of the original owner of the company, “Romualdo... What are you doing here?”“I needed to come.” Romualdo answers kindly, “Tiago c

At Marçal Publishing, Caio decides to leave João Paulo's office, “Uncle, we'll talk another time. Excuse me.”“I’ll call you.” João Paulo guarantees.Caio looks at Gabriela suspiciously and leaves.Gabriela closes the door and speaks in an accelerated tone, “João Paulo, you must hate me for good reason. But allow me to explain.”“Explain what, Gabriela?” João Paulo suddenly smiles, “I know you aren’t a promiscuous adulteress. I was there, close to you, and I saw no immoral intent in the interaction between you and my older brother. Whoever took these pictures and sent this email is looking for trouble.”Gabriela gets mixed emotions, “Ehr… you don't see me as a bitch?”João Paulo stands up abruptly and, with the same magnetic and seductive gaze, walks slowly towards Gabriela, like a lion hunting a zebra without

At Rocha Constructions, Katherine feels that she will be working out the terms of the divorce right there in Josias Rocha's cold and impersonal office since they have not signed any prenuptial agreements.“If I had known it would come to this point, I would have remembered the agreement.” Katherine grits her teeth in dissatisfaction.“We thought our marriage would last forever.” Josias reasons, “I fought until the last moment, Kate. But you are the one who voiced the idea.”Kate barks, “It's because I don't want to be in this situation anymore! You were interacting romantically—” Seeing that Josias was going to interrupt her, “DON'T INTERRUPT ME! I don't care how many times you deny it; you were indeed romantically interacting with Gabriela Alves! All you had to do was feed her strawberries and whipped cream in some motel suite!”“You were supposed to be there.” Josias tries to

At the Rocha Mansion, the children are surprised by Katherine's primary concern.Alan scolds her, “Miss Bezerra, your son is leaving never to return, and you worry about my half-brother's whereabouts?”Katherine rolls her eyes impatiently, “I don't want to discuss this, Alan. First, my son will return to defeat you. Second, why is David not saying goodbye to my son?”Rosemary responds in the same impatient tone, “He went off to call and he hasn't come back yet. We're eating all the canapés, don't blame us!”Katherine rages at the word 'call', “Keep the party going and eat all the canapés!”Katherine withdraws, leaving the children.Alan frowns, “What did she mean by J.J. defeating me?”J.J. responds, “My mother is very upset, Alan, don't mind.”Alan smiles slightly, “J.J., I really hope you'll come back when we grow up to work together i

Two days later, Josias is still trying to get used to the emptiness of the Rocha Mansion without Katherine neighing through the corridors. David, however, is quiet eating all the breakfast options.As he smears blackberry jelly on toast, he continues to chatter, “And don't forget, Dad, that heartless one pushed me and made me hurt my knee. She must have been very hysterical as she had lost all the wealth she had squandered at your expense. Now she must be on the streets of the U.S. looking for a guy she's only known for a few months. When is my Mother going to come back?”Josias gets puzzled, “What did you say, David?”David asks arrogantly as if it's already decided, “When is my Mother going to come back? Tomorrow?”Josias smiles with pity, “David, your Mother is famous in Rio de Janeiro and must remain so. If she wants to come to Lagoon City to expand her business, she has the Rocha Hotel at her disposal. But sh
