Eleven o’clock at night. Matthew was already sleeping peacefully. After all, he is a responsible man and needed an orderly routine.However, his routine would be perfect if it weren’t for Cindy disturbing it, showing up in the suite at this time of night after cheating on her boyfriend with another man on the beach.Cindy quickly went to the bathroom and showered, removing the sand from her body and hair. She smiled triumphantly, feeling entitled to these illicit pleasures.After putting on her nightgown, brushing her teeth, blow-drying her hair, and applying moisturizer, Cindy tiptoed to the bed.Seeing her boyfriend sleeping loosely, on his back, with his muscular and attractive body barely covered by the blanket, Cindy licked her lips, feeling tempted. She definitely doesn’t know how to control herself. If only Matthew sleep on his briefs...But the rational side spoke louder. Cindy has already had vigorous and controversial activity and Matthew could be suspicious if he tried and

Matthew’s eyes widen and he stares at Jackson, thinking he heard it wrong.“Hmm... excuse me, what did you just ask me?” Matthew smirks, finding this bizarre and unnecessary.“Was it you who reported me?” Jackson asks once again.“Are you referring to the article I read in LCN a few days ago?” Matthew asks casually.“Yes, my account was subject to some sort of punishment for a few days. I couldn’t post or interact with my subscribers.” Jackson frowns.“And why would you think it was me?” Matthew asks mockingly.“I’m shooting everywhere. I’ve thought about you, I’ve thought about Ricardo Montegrande, I’ve thought about Nathan... but I don’t know, you’re the most likely person if I think without emotion.”Matthew is surprised by Jackson’s boldness. Yes, if Matthew and Jackson weren’t friends, it would be logical for Jackson to conclude that it was Matthew. But he still has doubts precisely because the friendship exists between them.Furthermore, Nathan and Ricardo never followed or intr

At the Sterling Mansion, Jackson and Cindy did everything they could to escape the place without anyone seeing them. Cindy’s body was sore from yesterday’s activity, but in her mind, pretending to Matthew that nothing had happened was more important.“What you’ll say to him?” Jackson whispered.Cindy rolled her eyes, “Now you ask me? You were the one who came up with the idea!”So they leave. Cindy never suspected that Patricia was in the dining room, having breakfast with Matthew.Patricia, on the other hand, felt like the next Mrs. Sterling. The employees served her breakfast options as if it were the most natural thing in the world.Alice and Abner, however, felt that their vision was playing tricks due to their age.“Huh?” Alice rubbed her eyes, “Honey, am I seeing it wrong?”Abner removed his glasses and cleaned them with a handkerchief. Then he put it back and realized, “No, honey, we’re not seeing it wrong. Patty Borges is the one, apparently.”Alice is stunned, “But... Matt, w

After classes, Matthew and Walter went to lunch at the famous Siren restaurant.There, the two friends continued to talk.“Matt, are you sure you can pretend to be Cindy’s fiancé after everything that happened?” Walter worries as he cuts his filet mignon.“This is temporary.” Matthew promises, “When the time comes, I’ll announce to Cindy that it’s over. In the meantime, Patty will continue to be Ron’s girlfriend.”“But why?” Walter is outraged, “Why can’t you tell the truth?”“It’s not that easy, Walt.” Matthew sighs.“It’s not easy because you make it complicated,” Walter states sternly. “When Patty tells Ronaldo the truth, it will be too late. The guy is deluded into thinking he’ll have a wife. You need to tell him this now!”“If Patty breaks off the relationship the day after he announced it to everyone, he will suffer a lot.” Matthew considers this. He doesn’t even have the energy to eat the shrimp risotto he ordered. “My Silva family will be upset with me, and I can’t afford to o

The next day, Sheila and Jonah returned from his house.Abner and Alice had the greatest pleasure of hosting Jonah. They just had to turn a blind eye to one small detail.“Jarbas, put my things in Mrs. Sterling’s suite,” Jonah asked ostentatiously, in front of everyone, including the maids.Jarbas swallowed hard and looked at Abner for permission, but the owner of the mansion nodded authorizing.When several people left, Andreia approached Sheila with a condemning smile. “You took good advantage of having immoral relations with the handsome writer, huh?”“A mother does everything she can to help her son. Oops! You’d never understand, you aren’t a mother!” Sheila takes revenge with this simple sentence.Andreia’s eyes widened. Alice approached the two quickly.“Well, I am a mother, and I tell you to stop taking advantage of this promiscuous behavior!” Alice barked.“Alice, I’m very grateful for the years I spent with your son.” Sheila defended herself, “But Karl is no longer with us, a
