last update2022-05-17 18:59:48

In the Rocha penthouse, Carlos is in the armchair enjoying the song “Nothing Else Matters”, by Metallica. Ernesto approaches and finds the musical taste of the family patriarch strange.

“Mr. Campos, do you want me to put on a Beethoven record?”

“You can let it, the sound please me,” Carlos responds, very satisfied.

Josias and Melissa enter separately, no longer acting like a couple of lovebirds.

Carlos looks at the two of them and feels sad for them, “Hello, my grandchildren... As seen, it's all over.”

“Ernesto, call the children,” Josias speaks in a serious tone.

While Ernesto leaves, Melissa sits on the sofa, “Grandpa Carlos, you better pack your bags. We will no longer live here.”

Carlos nods in understanding, “I see. I will return to my house.”

“Grandpa, your house was sold years ago.” Melissa smiles kindly, “You're moving back in with my parents. I will join them until I find another abode.”

“Or until you find another husband.” Josias jokes.

Melissa shrugs, “Let's see if my fans

    In Josias's office, he and Melissa are tasked with the arduous task of telling their children that they will no longer live together as a family.“What happened, father?” Alan asks curiously.“Alan and Caroline: Most of all, I want you both to know that I will always love you.” Josias begins.“I love you too, Daddy.”“Me too!” Caroline speaks with a graceful smile, making Melissa's heart flutter.“That's great.” Josias kneels next to them, “Unfortunately, we are no longer living together.”“Are you going to heaven again, Daddy?” Caroline asks.“No, little girl. Mom and Dad will no longer live as husband and wife. You will live with Mom, Grandpa Simeon, Grandma Dora, and Great-Grandpa Carlos.”Alan frowns, “What about Uncle Will?”“Uncle Will is getting another house,” Josias responds, and to his surprise, Alan sighs in relief.“Did you and Mom fight, Dad?” Alan asks.Melissa responds in his place, “Unfortunately, we can't live together anymore, son.

    The next day, it was William and Caio's turn to pack their bags to leave.At Simeon's house, Dora and he were saying goodbye to two and preparing for the arrival of four people.“Mother, where will every one fit in?” William asks as he puts clothes in the suitcase.“Grandpa Carlos will sleep with the kids and Melissa will sleep in our room,” Dora responds.“I remembered the time when we all lived together with Josias.” William dares to smile.Dora wastes no time, “Yes, it was the time when you had changed for the better.”William closes the suitcase so hard that the zipper almost breaks, “Mother, don't come to defend the adulterer! Look at the result of all this: my dear sister is leaving the luxury life to live back with you.”“She decided so.” Simeon corrects his son as he overhears the conversation. He stands in the doorway.“Of course, how is she going to live in the 'Rocha' penthouse being Miss 'Campos'? And if she remarries, will her husband want to live in the penthouse bought

Who are you and how did you get in?”Ernesto smiles out of the corner of his mouth, “There was an employee at the gate and I identified myself. I am Josias Rocha's secretary.”The pronunciation of the magical name was enough for Adelina to run into the living room, “Miss! It is a representative of Josias Rocha!”“And why didn't you warn me before?” Katherine scolds her as if there was any reason to.Katherine peers toward the door, “Come in, secretary!

    Ephraim is surprised to return from the coffee plantation and find an unknown car parked near his front door.Upon entering, he finds Ernesto standing in the hall, waiting with a wry smile.“Who the hell are you?” Ephraim asks intrigued.“Everyone has a strange way of welcoming me.” Ernesto quips, “I am Josias Rocha’s secretary and I came to take your daughter and grandson.”“Have you come to take her?” Ephraim widens his eyes.“She was selected to live with my boss in the Rocha penthouse.”Ephraim is outraged, “Has she been ‘selected,’ just as I select my cows for breeding?”Ernesto didn't mean it, but the comparison was perfect.“My daughter has a dignity of her own and will not accept this slight.”After Ephraim says that, Katherine appears with two huge suitcases and Adelina appears with Josias Junior in her arms and his things.“What do you think you're doing?” Ephraim is apoplectic, “Are you really going to go along with this business of being the businessman's concubine?”“Yes,

I want you to go live in Lagoon City and tell me everything that my shameless daughter is doing.”Jock sneers, “Surely she'll be spending Mr. Rocha’s money and being banged by him every single night. Do you want me to record her moans on cassette for you to hear?”Ephraim is not amused by Jock's sarcasm, “Not quite.

Lots to record.” Cristina responds excitedly, “Anyway, I loved it! Now let's wait until 09:00 pm to check out Isabel's soap opera.”“I am very happy for her.” Moacyr nods, smiling.“Meanwhile, I'll prepare dinner.” Cristina heads for the kitchen.“And I'll tidy up the canteen.” Diane offers herself.How

    In the Mountain Penthouse living room, the atmosphere was far from serene. The heated discussion between Suzy and her boyfriend’s family showed no sign of calming down.“I can’t believe this!” Suzy exclaimed, her voice tight with indignation. “You all actually think I’m in love with Luís Vasquez!”Karen raised an eyebrow, her tone biting. “You’re not?”“OF COURSE NOT!” Suzy barked back. “I’m in love with Felipe — I love him!”Kelvin, unmoved, folded his arms. “Just not as much as you love your money and your... ‘investments.’”Diane lifted a hand, hoping to bring reason to the conversation. “Suzy, I’ve turned a deaf ear to all the gossip about you. I want to believe the best. Please don’t disappoint me.”Suzy’s voice wavered slightly as she responded, “I swear, Mrs. Mountain... Diane... I don’t know why Felipe insists on believing the lies João Paulo QUEIRÓS keeps spinning!”Daryl’s expression darkened. “So the problem lies with the journalist, then.

    The Mountain Penthouse living room was filled with tension that morning. Everyone was taken aback as the truth behind the fight that had sent Felipe to the hospital came to light.“Well, if that’s how it is...” Daryl began, clearly processing the news.Diane, urgent to defend her son, jumped in. “But wait, why exactly did Felipe and Luís decide to fight?”Suzy’s lips curled into a sly smile. It was time to drop the bomb.“According to my uncle Eugenio,” she began, “Felipe barged into his office and announced that he wanted to break up with me — because my uncle was happy about me being featured on the cover of Maggiezine.”Everyone looked even more stunned.“Wait, what does that have to do with anything?” Kelvin asked, frowning.Suzy explained, “Felipe saw my uncle thanking Luís for sort of encouraging me to accept the interview with Maggie.”Daryl exhaled sharply. “So my son just had a jealous outburst. That’s all it was.”Diane shrugged. “He wasn’t serious about breaking up with you

    At the Mountain Penthouse, Kelvin and Daryl were relieved that everything had turned out okay. Diane and Karen were nearby, on the sofas, chatting cheerfully. “God was merciful and allowed our son to live a few more years,” Diane declared. “Now, you both need to rest,” Karen patted Kelvin’s chest. “We slept beautifully while you two were in that sterile lounge.” Kelvin yawned once more. “I think I’ll take my dear wife’s advice; what do you think, Daryl?” “Who said we own the place?” Daryl yawned as well. The ladies laughed at their funny husbands. The doorbell rang. Tony passed through the living room, offering, “I’ll get it.” When Tony opened the door, he was surprised by the visitor. “Miss Cogo?” “How funny, you don’t call me by my first name. Did Felipe manage to talk to you before the coma?” Suzy asked bitterly, without smiling. Tony reacted perplexed by this torrent of unfriendly words. “Uh... Come in, please.” Suzy entered, ready for the storm. “Who is it, big brothe

    The next day, Matthew Hogan entered the General Hospital lounge and found Daryl and Kelvin incredibly exhausted but hopeful. “Doctor, how did it go?” Daryl nearly jumped on Matthew. “Calm down, the patient survived the surgery. It’s just a matter of time before he’s back in his room.” “Oh, thank God!” Kelvin cheered. Daryl couldn’t resist and hugged Matthew. “Thank you so much, doctor!” Matthew smiled, somewhat awkwardly, but aware that it was a common reaction. “You’re welcome, we did everything we could.” “Yeah, I understand.” Daryl released the hug, rubbing his eyes — whether from sleep or wiping away a tear. “It’s going to take a little while. I suggest you both go home and rest a bit,” Matthew said. “I think we’ll do just that,” Kelvin yawned. “Now that the danger has passed, I think I deserve it. Doctor, let us know if anything happens,” Daryl requested, patting the doctor’s shoulder. “I’ll do. And congratulations to you both.” Matthew left the lounge. Kelvin yawned a

Jake was upset. “Suzy, haven’t you gone to visit your boyfriend yet?” “I don’t know if it’s a good idea to show up there right now.” Suzy lowered her head. “The fight happened... here?” Eugenio responded indignantly, “Yes, in my beloved living room. Luís lost his temper when Felipe called him ‘Spanish Stallion.’“ Suzy lifted her head, completely changing her posture. “WHAT? Well, then, the beating didn’t come out of nowhere!” “Come on, sis, don’t go along with this,” Jake advised her. “They’re saying Felipe’s condition is serious.” “Serious is Luís getting teased every single day by the nickname he despises the most!” Suzy exclaimed. Eugenio decided to tell the whole story, “Suzy, there’s a lot more you don’t know.” “Tell me, uncle!” “Felipe, before being assaulted, said he wouldn’t continue dating you, claiming that the Cogo family would always prefer Luís.” Suzy reacted, paralyzed by this inf

Where’s Daryl?” Nadia approached the couch. “He went to check with Kelvin for more information,” Diane sniffed. “Thanks for coming.” “We wouldn’t be family if we didn’t show up,” Nadia sat down near them. “And I’m a mother too.” Rodrigo poured himself some coffee. “Any news?” Diane took a deep breath. “Felipe is still awake. Dr. Hogan said the tests revealed a concussion, and they’re now deciding if surgery will be necessary.” “How horrible.” Nadia shuddered. “Well, whether surgery is necessary or not, I hope everything goes well for Felipe.” “Now, I find it strange that Suzy still hasn’t shown up!” Karen frowned. “Did you see her outside?” “No. We thought she was inside or with Daryl,” Nadia replied honestly. Diane shook her head. “No, guys, I can’t believe Suzy would choose to work or handle investments instead of checking on her boyfriend!” Rodrigo took a sip – the coffee wasn’t a

Daryl rushed to the hospital.”Sofia reacted with her mouth open, holding her breath.Then she composed herself. “How could he do such a thing?”“Do you want to hear my guess?” William asked with a sly smile.“No!
