2007Josias was walking calmly along the sidewalk of Getúlio Vargas Avenue. Behind them, two men in suits and sunglasses left no doubt to passersby that they were the bodyguards.With that, people just gestured or nodded ‘good morning’ to Josias. No one dared to approach him to ask for an autograph. Although Josias wasn’t the type of celebrity who hated interacting with his fans, sometimes not being bothered was essential.Especially today. Josias was looking for a store to check the information he received...When he stopped at a certain store, ten minutes after Ibrahim Square, he saw with amazement a team of workers renovating an empty place. A hanging sign announced: ‘COMING SOON, ANGEL STORE’.Yes, what was written on the website was true. Angela Souza decided to return to Espírito Santo to expand her company, which has grown absurdly in the last decade.To accompany the expansion, she announced new stores in Victoria, Vila Velha, and Cachoeiro do Itapemirim.But something inside

At Rocha Mansion, Alan is caught off guard by his mother’s question about his in-laws.But he decided that honesty is always the best path, “Mom, my future in-laws were curious about Angela Souza.”“It’s because they didn’t know her like we did.” Simeon shook his head.“How crazy. Don’t allow her to be part of your life, my son.” Melissa closed one of the suitcases. “It will only cause pain and suffering. Especially for you.”“Why, daughter?” Dora asked.“Her dream was always to have David as the heir.” Melissa has a fierce look. “And I feel like she would try anything to get my son out of the way, especially now that J.J. is no longer with us.”Alan hugs Melissa. “Don’t worry, Mom. Everaldo didn’t prophesy any of this.”“No, but he talked about you getting lost and finding your way home.” Melissa broke the hug. “Does this have anything to do with the honeymoon?”“Sofia and I plan to spend a few days on the yacht.”Simeon snaps his fingers. “So, is that it? You’ll get lost on the high

The day of Alan and Sofia’s big wedding has arrived.Green Park Church was packed. Father Mathias was delighted to perform the speech and wedding ceremony for Josias’s firstborn son.The guests entered and handed the invitations to Josias’s bodyguards who were assigned to this specific role.Dora and Simeon whispered to each other as they passed, “Is this all to prevent the ex-concubine’s invasion?”“Or her hateful son,” Simeon whispered back.They sat on the groom’s side.The bride’s side was emptier because Sofia’s circle of friends was smaller.Teresa, acting as organizer, instructed some guests, “Guys, if the groom’s side is out of seats, you can sit on the other side without any problems. No one will watch the ceremony standing up, for God’s sake!”Octavio and his family had just entered and heard this. “Oh, then let’s stay here at once.”Teresa took a good look at Jane’s dress, which wasn’t wide enough. Jane also showed tiredness and a rush to sit down.“Jane, are you okay?”“He

“By the power invested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife. Alan, you may kiss the bride!”Alan didn’t even take a second: he leaned over and kissed Sofia modestly. The bride could no longer hold back her tears.The guests applauded effusively, especially the bride’s parents: the plan was completed successfully!Caroline just stared at the Vasquez family with a firm resolve to get to the bottom of this situation. Maybe, with the bride and groom away, enjoying their honeymoon...“What did you think, darling?” Reuben asked her.“My brother will be a very happy man if he doesn’t fall into his in-laws’ traps, as you said, my dear,” Caroline replied.Peter approached them. “Come on, Carol! Do you still think that the Vasquez family only married your brother for the money? This plot is so overused...”“Someone needs to check Vaztrans’ financial spreadsheets.” Caroline smiled mischievously. “But later; now it’s time for us to have fun!”The newlyweds already came down from the altar and

Chapter 2709 Our Enemies May TryAs agreed, Alan and Sofia used Josias’s yacht to travel on their honeymoon.Josias, in turn, asked Alan to learn how to use the vessel to ensure that he returned home just as Everaldo had prophesied.At a dinner given by the Vasquez family, Erasmo snorted in disdain as he cut into a piece of lamb loin seasoned with Indian spices, “Humph! You guys take the negative words of an unknown guy seriously. Just trust in God, everyone.”“But Everaldo is an envoy of the Lord,” Melissa replied.Olivia lowers her head so she doesn’t get caught giggling.Josias raised an eyebrow. “I don’t think you called us here to criticize Everaldo, did you?”“Did you manage to talk to him, Josias?” Erasmo appears not to have heard Josias.“No. When the bride and groom came down from the altar, he disappeared just like the rain of rice.” Josias sighed impatiently. It seems that the conversation he has always wanted to have with Everaldo since 1981 will never materialize.“It’s a
