Building My Life Chapter 1263 The First Look
In the Rocha penthouse, Melissa continues to reason with her parents about her and Josias's divorce.“Mom, Dad, I hope you accept my decision,” she begs.Simeon makes a face as he sucked on a lemon, “I don't know... what will become of you when the divorce is finalized?”“Well, we're literally going to carry on as if Josias is dead.” Melissa gets up and goes to the dressing table, “I will continue to live in the penthouse with my children, Ernesto and Lilian will remain here, Elza and João Paulo will continue with the R$250,000.00 they inherited... nothing has changed.”“And Will is gonna worsen his behavior at the company and home.” Dora rolls her eyes.“Will was already nasty when Josias wasn't here.” Melissa asserts, “He will be put in his place in the company, once Josias has reasserted the throne.”Simeon gets up from the bed, “So there's no way? How are we going to explain it to the public, your fans?”Melissa is already uncomfortable with the conversation, “We didn't have time
Building My Life Chapter 1264 Life Experience
Simeon and Dora return home, devastated by Melissa's confirmation of divorce.When they enter, they find William watching TV, the music video for “Everything About You” by Ugly Kid Joe.“Hello, guys!” William tries to be kind, “How was visiting my dear sister?”“You still ask?” Simeon collapses in the armchair, “Your sister is going to divorce anyway.”William laughs heartily.Dora crosses her arms and takes a good look at her son: lying on the couch, shirtless, with grubby shorts, several cans of beer on the coffee table, and crumbs of potato chips.“Will, have you been overdoing the cans?” Dora gives her son a light slap to straighten himself up on the couch, “You're the one who's going to sweep up these crumbs.”“I celebrated in advance.” William sits up, “It's good to know that Melissa has come to her senses. When will she come back here?”Simeon and Dora got appalled.“What question is that? Melissa can't come back here!” Simeon thunders.“Oh, I need to move first, right? Okay, t

Uélton and Flávia talk at their house about the party they intend to give. The radio is playing "Under the Bridge" by Red Hot Chili Peppers. Reuben dances in a funny way."Well, here’s the list of those we don’t want to invite." Uélton always emphasizes the barred ones instead of emphasizing those that have been allowed.Flavia picks up the sheet of paper, "Okay, let’s not invite Adrian because he’s already in jail.""Never come back!" Uélton looks at his son, "What are you doing, champ?""I’m dancing, Dad!" Reuben swings like a worm."Darling, I want to tell you a sacred secret." Uélton approaches and whispers in his wife’s ear, "Melissa and Josias will continue the divorce."Flavia walks away, "But Melissa had forgiven him before the accident!""It’s because Josias told me that he impregnated the farmer’s daughter who kept him in false imprisonment," Uélton speaks with regret.Flavia makes a 'tsk' with her tongue, "Jeez... but there is no way to defend Josias! There are already two

Melissa is crossing Main Square and unwittingly finds Katherine sitting on the same bench as if she were waiting for her."Oh, I knew I could find you here!" Katherine quacks.Melissa opens her eyes. Is this crazy woman spying on her?"Stop pestering me. You need to take care of this baby." Melissa responds dryly."How am I supposed to take care of the baby if the father won’t even talk to me?" Katherine teases her."This is between the two of you." Melissa begins to withdraw.Katherine realizes Melissa’s reaction and rejoices, "What is it? Josias confirmed to you that the child is his? Are you getting a divorce?"Melissa stops the steps and turns her head at her with a sneer, "Good luck, honey. You’re not the only one in line."Eventually, Melissa moves away quickly, no longer wanting to argue.Katherine snitches, it wasn’t the effect she wanted, "Well, at least YOU aren’t in line, right, ma'am? I could see defeat in your eyes. You lost, you were the official wife but you were oversh

Flavia visits Teodoro’s building to talk to Christina about the party Uélton wants to throw to honor Josias. As a tradition, the lobby radio is on and playing the song "My Lovin' (You’re Never Gonna Get It) by En Vogue."Cristina, you and Moacyr are invited to the welcome party my husband is giving to Josias.""Oh, thank you so much." Cristina smiles, "I didn’t know there was still time to celebrate. Does that mean that his marriage with Melissa will continue?"Because Uélton said it was a 'sacred secret', Flávia disguises it, "I haven’t talked to Melissa about it yet.""I remember that she had decided to forgive him before the accident. She didn’t even have time to announce it to the press." Cristina sighs."And of course, Josias will also want to celebrate your victory over the coma." Flavia changes the subject, "And also the fact that Adrian is in jail."Cristina gets tense, "Today is the verdict, but I’ve had Miguel Damascene represent me.""I understand." Flavia has a mental snap

Tiago has his hand in his mouth to keep everyone from hearing his laughter. Octavio approaches him and pokes him in the back.Tiago gets scared."Oh, it’s you." He talks low."What are you doing at the door?" Octavio thinks it’s funny."I am listening to Josias peel the farmer who tried to kidnap him," Tiago speaks with pride."Did the idiot dare to come here, right into the birdcage trap?" Octavio also holds on to not laughing."Some people think they’re too smart," Tiago concludes and decides to stop spying on the conversation.Inside the presidential room, Ephraim is already fearing for his life."What do you want from me, you insolent? Will you order your agents to kill me?"Josias smiled devilishly, "No, getting your 'pure' daughter pregnant was revenge enough. Of course, I need to keep my life in order.""What do you mean?""I want to take over my son. I am aware that he bears my name. Kate will divorce Jock and move in with me."Ephraim raises his eyebrows, "Wait, then you’ll t

In the presidential room of Rocha Constructions, Ephraim already has watery eyes."You are a cruel man, Josias Rocha. If I had a crystal ball, I would never have tried to help you.""You should have left me where I was, in your brother’s house!" Josias shouted, "Perhaps your daughter would marry virgin to Frederick since he was the one she liked to spy skinny dipping in the stream."Ephraim is already stuttering with so much anger, "Stop... stop calling my daughter...""Ah, you know what, Ephraim?" Josias doesn’t even call him by his last name anymore, "Go, this meeting is over. Tell your daughter to annul the marriage because I don’t live with a married woman. Jock will have to conform himself.""So that’s it? You think this story is over?"Impatient, Josias opens one of the drawers and removes from it the large binder that the Bento brothers arranged with numerous irregularities and crimes committed by Ephraim to be the so-powerful farmer of Viana rural zone.Ephraim feels his eyes

Chapter 3148 Josias Is Insane
Josias visits the Rocha Hotel since he didn’t have a day off for the staff. In the management room, Eugenio gathered David, Benjamin, and Sybil. “Why is that mere cook present at this meeting?” David asked disparagingly. “Because that’s how our boss ordered it,” Eugenio replied dryly. “I didn’t say anything and didn’t call this meeting, so if you’ll excuse me...” Benjamin and Sybil were horrified to see David leaving the meeting just like that. However, when he opened the door, David came face to face with his father. “David, where do you think you’re going?” “DAD!” David exclaimed, extremely surprised. “I didn’t know you were coming!” “Didn’t Eugenio tell you I was coming?” Josias asked with a scowl. David understood who the ‘boss’ was. Benjamin and Sybil felt vindicated. Josias sat down at the desk, taking Eugenio’s seat, while the manager remained humbly standing. “Very well,” Josias began the meeting in a formal tone, “I’m here just to make things crystal clear.

Melissa and Mary visit the Mountain Café.“A guava juice for me, Mr. Mountain!” Mary requested, smiling sweetly.“Of course, my princess!” Rodrigo replied, thinking Mary was very adorable. “Neil will make a delicious cup for you.”“Thank you. But the princess is Carol,” Mary responded, striking a serious pose.Melissa and Rodrigo laughed heartily. Mary is something else...“Rod, how has it been managing the café in your father’s absence?” Melissa asked seriously.Rodrigo served a baked chicken pastry with ketchup to Mary. “I'm getting by, Melissa. Josias was here earlier, more concerned about my loss than his own, as always. Isn’t he supposed to be resting?”Melissa nodded. “My husband is like that: he only relaxes when all of us are relaxed.”“An impossible mission because of certain people.”Neilton approached with the glass. “Who ordered a guava juice?”“I DID!” Mary grabbed the glass and went to a table.Melissa leaned forward, “Neil, Rod, how are Daryl and Diane?

Chapter 3146 We Need to Talk - Dad
At João Paulo’s house, he and Josias were about to have a significant conversation.“Walter, do you want to go with your mom to the kitchen?” João Paulo asked, looking at Helen. “I think she made some walnut cake.”“It was carrot cake,” Sandra replied, already getting up from the couch.“You got it.” Helen appeared and picked up Walter in her arms. “Let’s let Dad and Uncle Josias talk.”“Bye, Uncle!” Walter waved goodbye to Josias.“Bye-bye, I want a piece later!” Josias chuckled.Once alone with João Paulo, Josias became serious. “Don’t let anything or anyone ruin this family scenario, little brother.”“I’m fine. No one wants to ruin anything,” João Paulo replied casually.“Well, I hope David hasn’t caused you any trouble.”“He probably doesn’t even know I exist, man.” João Paulo shrugged.“But I stopped by Café Montanha and found out that the Vasquez family has replaced the Mountain family as the ‘annoying people.’”João Paulo sighed in disappointment. “Yeah.

Chapter 3145 João Paulo Is a Good Father
Josias visits Café Montanha for a coffee and finds Rodrigo there. “Rod, how have you been?” Rodrigo is taken aback. “How am I? You’re the one who suffered a horrific loss recently!” “But you also lost your father. We’re in the same situation,” Josias explained as he sat down on a stool. “I’m okay, Josias. Life has a way of cheering me up. For example, I’m back at the diner after Thierry decided to take his place at the supermarket.” Rodrigo smiled. “What about the photography studio?” Josias smiled back. “It’s still going to operate, and Thierry will make periodic visits. But he’s going to appoint one of the staff to manage the studio.” Rodrigo served a pizza pastry to Josias. “Thank you. Well, I hope everything is alright between you two. I need to visit Rosemary and meet Jean Luc — is that the name of the baby?” “Yes, the name of the supermarket heir. Meanwhile, Frank will be here or somewhere else.” Josias interjected, “If Frank wants to work at Rocha Constructions, count

At the Rocha Mansion, Josias receives a visit from Benjamin. “How have you been, Ben? Any news about your parents?” The two embrace. “Actually, that’s what I want to talk about.” Benjamin scratches the back of his neck. The embrace breaks. “Let’s go to my office.” The two gentlemen enter Josias’s imposing office. “Any problems with Adolfo?” Josias asks, becoming serious. “Not yet, but I hope not to have any,” Benjamin replies with some sadness. “You know, Josias, what happened with your father made me think about my family, about how important it is for all of us to be together in the final moments.” “That’s true. João Paulo can tell you that better than I can.” “I think you can say it too. Vernon was the father you never had.” Benjamin clears his throat. “So, I’ve been looking into some hotels and realized there’s a demand at the Rocha Hotel in Victoria.” Josias looks at Benjamin, understanding where he’s going with this. “You want to go to Victoria to be close to your pare

Someone rings the doorbell at João Paulo’s house. The homeowner goes to answer after taking a shower and putting on clean clothes. But when he opened the door, João Paulo felt like slamming it in the visitor’s face. “Don’t be rude!” Erasmo exclaimed. “What do you want, you old bore?” João Paulo shot back. Erasmo barged into João Paulo’s foyer. “The mourning is over. Let’s pick up where we left off.” “Are you crazy? Who decides how long mourning lasts? We just got back from the trip!” “Not exactly, it’s been a day. Life goes on, my friend!” Erasmo replied mockingly. João Paulo remained serious. “But I don’t want to continue living this way, where fights and intrigues are the order of the day. Mr. Vasquez, you have a business to run, and I have a family to raise.” “But you found time to slap my son-in-law when he was here defending his family, didn’t you?” “Alan was extremely rude, but that was some time ago.” João Paulo frowned. “I don’t feel the same anger as before.” “So a

At the Vasquez Mansion, Alan could hardly believe that the people were thinking about more intrigues and disputes. “Guys, don’t you understand that I even forgot the reason I slapped Uncle João Paulo?” “Ridiculous!” Erasmo gestured. “You just maintained respect because it was a difficult occasion. But now, the mourning is OVER!” “Do you think João Paulo will rest, dear?” Sofia asked, sitting next to him. Alan shook his head. “If Uncle João Paulo doesn’t want to rest, then he is truly despicable. But my dad is back in town. He wouldn’t dare to do that.” The news should have been uplifting, but the members of the Vasquez family merely exchanged silent glances. With Josias present, it’s quite likely that he will put a stop to their fighting. Alan turned to Olivia. “In the meantime, we should celebrate the recovery of my dear mother-in-law!” Olivia and Sofia smiled awkwardly because of the secret they were keeping. “That’s right, let’s celebrate life!” Erasmo wrapped his arm arou

Josias Rocha and his family returned to Lagoon City. Those who were waiting for them stayed in the mansion and greeted them cheerfully in the foyer. “WELCOME BACK!” Melissa, crying, embraced her parents, William, and the twins fervently. Josias greeted them with a light smile. “Where’s João Paulo?” William asked. “He went straight to his house. His kids needed to rest from the trip.” Melissa wiped her tears with her fingers. “Alan went straight to his mansion. Especially now that his mother-in-law has woken up from the coma.” “That was a scare; I thought we’d have two funerals,” Simeon commented. Everyone headed to the living room. “Is Paris very beautiful, Mom?” Mary asked. “Yes, sweetheart, it’s stunning. We’ll go shopping together another time, okay?” “Do you have pictures?” Ignacio asked anxiously. “Yes, son, we took some pictures.” Melissa sat on the couch, pulling out a package from her bag. Josias sat in the armchair, taking a deep breath. William approached him.

At Café Montanha, Daryl walks in for a coffee and finds Rodrigo at the counter while Neilton serves the others. “Hey, are we back to the old tradition?” “Don’t be a clown, man.” Rodrigo laughs. “Yes, Thierry is at the supermarket, as we agreed.” “Hi, Neil. Can you make me a cappuccino while I enjoy a natural sandwich?” Daryl places his order. “Sure thing, Mr. Mountain.” Neilton heads to the back. Daryl sits on the stool. “So, how do you feel after getting back to your element?” “I don’t regret at all helping my dear wife at the supermarket, Daryl,” Rodrigo admitted while preparing the natural sandwich. “I’m not talking about regrets.” Daryl joked. “But it’s undeniable that after Uncle Francisco’s passing, you prefer to stay here, carrying on the legacy he left.” “Just like Crystal Blue.” Rodrigo smiled. “Hey, I’m aware that you’re looking to open another restaurant in Sunset Village. Do you think you can manage it? How’s the prospecting going?” Daryl picks up the sandwich but
