Antonio is surprised by Eduardo standing at the door of his office."Eddie!" He exclaims, startled, "What are you doing here?"Eduardo smiles like a mischievous boy, "I needed to see you. We need to properly plan our revenge scheme."Antonio quickly opens the office so that no one finds the kidnapper free and on the loose talking to him. After that, he locks the door so he won't be surprised by anyone."Let's talk fast." Antonio is a little apprehensive, "May Reggie not find you here. I haven't even told my wife that you left."Eduardo smiles evilly, "Correction = you didn't tell Mrs. Ferreira that I was FREED by you."Antonio smirks, "Sit down. What do you want to know about?""I want to know when I can contact your daughter." Eduardo sits down.Antonio wiggles, "You crazy. The news still hasn't reached my daughter and you already want to spoil the surprise? For the plan to work perfectly, you'll have to go days or weeks without talking to her!"Eduardo disagrees and even shakes with

Antonio waits for Marianne to finish speaking and leaves without looking at her."See you later, dear! You were just leaving without saying goodbye..." Marianne subtly teases him.Antonio gathers his strength and walks over to his wife to kiss her forehead, "See you later."Antonio bolts away with a scowl, muttering through his teeth, "Why do I get the feeling she already knows? Well, that'll make my plan easier."When Antonio arrives safely at the hotel, he summons Mr. Rosendo for a meeting in his office.Rosendo enters with a serious, icy expression, "Here I am, Mr. Ferreira.""Rosendo, I am aware that Reggie Silva is still working at MY hotel." Antonio leans back in his chair, "What's left for you to fire him?""It remains to infuriate our guests who are eternally grateful." Rosendo boldly responds, "Reginaldo got 100% approval."Antonio twists his nose, "Come on, someone must have complained!""Yes, guest Gustavo Barroso. But we already know that this guest often exaggerates and l

Marianne is extremely upset when she hears her husband announcing with pleasure that Eduardo Casemiro will have an autograph session in the hotel's ballroom, the same place where he made a scandal with their daughter..."Have you completely lost your mind?" She faces him."Why does everyone think I'm going crazy?" Antonio asks mockingly."Because that's what it looks like to me!" Marianne barks, "Do you want to call the man who tried to kidnap your daughter here? How will Laura react to that?""Like a normal person," Antonio responds dryly."There is no normality in such nonsense!"Antonio shrugs, "Marianne, let the maids know they'll have extra activity. I already sent word to Mr. Rosendo."Marianne's eyes widen, "Mr. Rosendo? So Reggie already knows?"The door unexpectedly opens and Reginaldo appears inside, snorting like a bull, "Yes, I already know, and I demand explanations!"Antonio genuinely gets a fright. Marianne smiles slightly, pleased to see Reginaldo defending her daughte

Marianne and Reginaldo realize how Antonio is only interested in chaos and confusion.She opines, "Darling, you're turning into a monster. Who is this Antonio Ferreira I'm seeing right now?"Antonio responds as if giving her a whip blow, "I'm the same guy you married! Don't tell me that now you're going to be against Eduardo Casemiro. You were the first to be friendly with him, encouraging him to be the lover of our daughter!""It's just because that day I didn't know that the maniac would be able to kidnap our daughter!" Marianne asserts with a grim face.Antonio shrugs, "The matter is closed, there is no room for discussion. I think next week will give me time to organize everything."Reginaldo is not satisfied, "You still haven't said what your plan is, rogue."Antonio punches the desk, "Respect your boss, imbecile! Go carry bags of demanding ladies, that's all you're good for!""Don't think this matter is over." Marianne blurts out, "As soon as Laura finds out, she'll be the next

At night, Reginaldo was waiting for his father and sister at the Parmesan Pizzeria. As it was Thursday, the pizzeria's activity was calm. Reginaldo already had an answer on the tip of his tongue if Aline appeared again. Little did Reginaldo know that Aline intended to stay in her apartment to be degraded and demeaned by Márcio again, and the worst part, she willingly waits for him. When Bartolomeo and Natalia entered, Reginaldo had to scratch his eyes to recognize his sister. Three years passed and Reginaldo noticed how Natalia grew and changed her appearance. The glasses that dwarfed her face were gone and her clumsy hair was now smooth and straight thanks to the Japanese straightening. When Natalia smiled, she showed perfect teeth. Where were the braces that made her look awful? Matias had married the ugly duckling who turned into a swan. Reginaldo fervently hugged his sister, "How good it is to see you again, Natty!" "Likewise, big brother!" Natalia starts to cry. Customers ar
