Laura returns home after feeling full and freed from Anestor. As she sets her bag down on one of the foyer tables, she talks to herself."Ruin, me? Who does Anestor think he is? I hope that wasn't a threat, as he wouldn't dare to tell my husband that he betrayed him under his nose. And Reggie is so powerful..." She smiles slyly, "If Reggie chooses, he'll prefer me."She takes out her cell phone and sits on the black couch. The news has been updated."Writer Eduardo Casemiro was seen in the pool of the Ferreira Hotel being taken by the police for a statement about the regrettable death of Márcio Rios." Laura smiles wider, "Hmm, here we have Eduardo and Aline's downfall. Eduardo certainly won't leave it out. For the second or third time, Aline will be demoralized."Laura puts her cell phone in her lap and laughs, "I can't believe it! Aline Mendonça is the unluckiest woman ever! On top of that, we have her family's bank being accused of mistreating employees. If I were her, I would have

Antonio is stunned when he hears Henry call Reggie Fabray's son-in-law."You're confused, young man. My son-in-law's name is Reginaldo, but he's not from the Fabray family. I wish he were!""Why do you think so?" Henry smiles like a snake."Because I would ask my son-in-law's family to help maintain my hotel," Antonio responds shamelessly."Anyway, don't you know that your daughter is married to Reggie Fabray, my goddamned cousin who was supposed to be president of the Fabray Network?"Antonio shakes his head, "Young man, you keep confusing people. Last year, João Paulo Rocha Queiroz wrote a misleading article about your cousin showing up at my hotel. They confused my son-in-law because of his name."Henry is convinced, "Mr. Ferreira, either you are confused or you are trying to make a fool of me.""Are you sure my daughter married a faker?""Unfortunately, I don't know what happened, but I was hoping you would clarify this doubt for me!"Antonio laughs heartily, "That's a good one! I

Laura is sipping another glass of champagne by the delicacy table. Eduardo approaches with a very elegant girl, wearing a gown as white as snow, with Irish features, and perfect red and straight hair."With how much you're eating, may I ask if you're finally pregnant with that idiot Reggie?"Laura chokes on her last sip of champagne. After clumsily depositing the glass, she turns around ready to hurl insults until she is shocked by the sight of the beautiful redhead.The girl smiles back, cultured and kind without being overbearing, "Introduce me, Eddie?""Of course!" Eduardo doesn't hide his pride, "Denise, this is Laura Ferreira, the heiress of this hotel."Laura turns redder than Denise's hair. Eduardo knows very well that she doesn't want to take care of the hotel.Denise continues to smile and extends her hand, "Nice to meet you, Miss Ferreira.""Don't you read the newspapers?" Laura greets Denise, but shakes her hand too much, "I'm Mrs. Silva.""And who is your husband?"Eduardo

Monday, January 03, 2022. The first Monday of the month promises strong emotions in the lives of our characters.Reginaldo wakes up in the bed of his master suite with his face indicating farewell. He looks wistfully at the space that surrounds him, aware that soon he will no longer be living in this exquisite house."It will be a pity after I file for a divorce." He talks in a low, husky voice.Laura wiggles her body beside him as if she's heard his phrase. Reginaldo looks worried but notices that she is still sleeping.He gets up carefully and goes naked to the bathroom to shower and brush his teeth.In the foyer, Paula enters the house with a copy of the key that Laura had previously given to the maid. She has a carry-on bag, back from her family's house."Well, back to the toil."The landline rings and she promptly goes to the receiver to answer it, "Hello?"On the other side, a lady in her early twenties informs her, "Good morning, am I speaking to Mrs. Silva?""I wish! I'm Paula

Reginaldo and Paula enter the library. Her boss closes the door and stands behind his desk."Well, Paula, tell me what bothers you.""I had to lie to Mistress Laura after she discovered the mark of the slap you gave me!" Paula barks.Reginaldo shrugs, "That's it? What do you want with that?""I want to inform you that my mistress has just machine-gunned me with several questions about a strange conversation you started as soon as she woke up." Paula is strangely not docile and servile. She's talking toe to toe.Reginaldo hardens his gaze, "Has she ever told you that?""Yes, but that's why she took me to the bathroom. Well, boss, what do I tell her?""What are you talking about, you crazy girl? It's not to say anything, don't meddle in our personal affairs!""You want to remember the years you hated your wife. Why? Isn't it easier to focus on the present, now that you love each other, for the future to be better?""It's none of your business, Paula! The conversation ends here."Reginal
