Elza finds her pretty happy hubby whistling the song “Merry-Go-Round” by Deborah Blando. He even misses the knot on his shoelaces, but he doesn't even notice.“Is it happiness to finally have a civil conversation with your son?”“It was terrific, honey!” Vernon vibrates as if he were the same age as João Paulo, “Without him realizing it, he and I agreed on something: that William Campos will pay for having offended you!”Vernon gets up from the couch and Elza hugs him, “And best of all, Josias didn't stir up animosity. You have to admit that this time he was a gentleman.”Vernon shakes his head, “Yeah... maybe. All in due time. What are we going to do about William?”Elza puts her hand on her chin and meditates, “Um... how about we find out something about him and publish it in the newspaper?”“Public defamation has always been our best weapon.” Vernon agrees, “Although it didn't work with Isabel Freire.”“It didn’t work with that slum dweller because Josias supported her.” Elza remi
In Beto's office, he and Pamela face off over the confusion involving him and Miguel. Beto smiles mockingly when he realizes that he managed to make Miguel jealous.“As I see, the handsome one lacks self-confidence, eh? I bet he brutally and cruelly pounded you to 'remind' you that you married him.” Beto mocks her.“On the contrary, yesterday he barely kissed me good night!” Pamela responds furiously.“So he's disgusted with you! He knows that months ago we had our bestial coitus session.” Beto's eyes are shining with lust.However, Pamela kicks him again, this time drawing blood from Beto's nose!After moaning in pain, Beto complains, “What strong legs are these? Are you working out at a gym?”Pamela brags, “At the Damascene house we have some exercise and weight machines. I need to be a strong woman: the damsel in distress is out of fashion!”“You slut!” Beto misses the fun and barks with the blood still oozing, “Go back to your cuckold husband! One more kick and I'll report you, hu
In the Rocha penthouse, Katherine is talking to her father on the phone.“Dad, has the phone company already run the cables to the farm?”“No, I still have to come to Itaporanga.” Ephraim complains, “Daughter, have you finished packing to go home?”Katherine rolls her eyes, “Dad, stop asking that. I love Josias and I will be Mrs. Rocha.”“That's funny, I don't find any of that in the papers that come around here.”“That's exactly why I don't want to go back to the countryside!” Katherine barks, “We seem to be isolated from the rest of the world!”“Oh, so things are happening there?” Ephraim asks with understanding.“Yes, I am managing to please Josias as an exemplary housewife and mother. By the way, I need to take J.J to the dentist because he's having his teeth changed. You never ask how your grandson is.”Ephraim says again, “Okay, daughter, I won't make you late for your appointment. Goodbye!”“Bye, d—” Katherine realizes that Ephraim has already hung up. She hangs up the phone an
Elza visits Josias at Rocha Constructions. Mother and son help themselves to coffee in the kitchen, missing Shirley's cookies.“Where's the shortbread lady, son?”“I don't know, mother. Today she is late.” Josias frowns.“Well, are you aware that your stepfather and I are not going to divorce anymore?”Josias smiles slightly, “João Paulo told me. I found the two of them talking at the entrance to the building.”“I love him so much, my son... I am sorry for the loss of Tony and so I don't want history to repeat itself.”“Well, at least I have to admit that Vernon isn't lazy. He was fired from Marçal Publishing but managed to get another job at LCN.”“I'm glad João Paulo got along with him before traveling to Victoria.” Elza sighs.Josias seizes the moment, “Mom, can I ask you for advice?”“Of course, my son.”“I'm thinking of taking one of the girls to the Sunset Village mansion. I was almost determined to choose Angela, but since yesterday Katherine has become an exemplary housewife.”
On Saturday, the party in honor of Rocha Constructions takes place in the Rocha Hotel party pavilion. The occasion was also given for the opening of the same hotel.All the guests parade through the exquisite space in their gala attire. The party was set to the song “Fields of Gold” by Sting.Maggiezine photographers went out of their way to capture the best moments. The next issue would feature the party as a cover article to attract readers.Josias posed alone for the photos. This was not the time to cause love disputes or disagreements by posing with Melissa.Melissa, in turn, entered the pavilion wearing an imposing red sleeveless dress, with a shawl of the same color covering her shoulders. Kelvin was beside her looking sexy in his tuxedo.Angela understood that Josias deserved rest and didn't insist on clinging to him like a gecko. She and Gustavo sat at a table with David to nibble on snacks.“Aren't you going to take pictures with David's father?” Gustavo asks her.“I know ver
Melissa and Kelvin sit at the table where Daryl, Diane, and Shirley are. Melissa notices the sad face of the future mother-in-law.“Shirley, is something wrong with you?”Shirley disguises, “I didn't find my shortbread cookies.”Everyone laughs.Daryl comments, “Mom, if I wanted to offer us your cookies, you should have spoken in advance.”Shirley puts on a smirk, “Alright son, I was just kidding.”Beto walks past them and just stares at Diane in a wild and bestial way. Diane felt pregnant with just his predatory gaze, and she shivers down her spine.“Are you ok, my dear?” Daryl asks.“Roberto Reis is here. How did Josias have the nerve to invite him?”“It's because of Pedro,” Melissa answered, she had heard the question.“His son? Then they should have invited him without his father.” Diane snorts.Melissa is not yet aware of the confusion involving Daryl, Diane, and Beto.Before she could ask anything, Josias appears in the middle of the pavilion with a microphone.“Testing, one, tw
Katherine comes out of the ladies' room completely bewildered, as if she has labyrinthitis or is drunk. She visualizes Jock wearing his navy blue tuxedo and rushes up to him.“You mean the redneck managed to buy a jacket to come to the gents' party?” She speaks mockingly.Jock suppresses the urge to slap her, “Why are you always so mean to me? What did I do wrong to you?”“You agreed to marry me when I wanted to be Josias's wife.” Katherine snatches a glass of champagne from a waiter to someone else.“First, I obeyed your father's command; second, you are a hot girl and I was dying to have marital relations with you. Don’t condemn me for being a man.”Katherine drinks the champagne in one go, “Argh! You are disgusting! You never speak to me again!”“But it was you who addressed me!” Jock retorts. Has champagne ever made Katherine drunk?Not yet, but Katherine goes on drinking glass after glass, without measuring the consequences.Meanwhile, the DJ put on a more classical and danceable
Frederick, Nathanael, and Maria Aparecida walk the corridors of the building to his apartment and Jock. The three talk excitedly about the film they watched at the cinema, "Jurassic Park"."People, is it really possible to create dinosaurs as shown in the cinema?" Maria is a little apprehensive."It’s just a movie, woman." Nathanael laughs."Yes, it’s just a movie, but if a crazy person wants to copy for real life, the movie left all the information." Maria defends herself.Frederick laughs, "How good is spending time with you, my folks. Shall we go inside for guava juice?"Maria nods, "If you have popcorn with butter, I’ll make it for you."However, the popcorn would stay for later. When the family approaches the door, they hear screams of pain and pleasure coming from inside!"Oh, God!" Nathanael embarrasses himself, "Is someone being raped in there?""Son, you told me you weren’t going to do that!" Mary scolds him.Frederick turns purple with shame, aware of who is doing this, "Mot
