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
The next day, Frederick was satisfied that it was Sunday. After straining the coffee and buying bread, he patiently waited for Jock to show up and explain everything.Jock appears wearing only white boxer shorts and with a disposition as if he has not performed something extenuate and exhausting all night long. He still feels entitled to smirk."Good morning, Jock." Frederick wastes no time, "Can we understand what happened yesterday?"Jock sits at the table and serves himself, "What happened yesterday was that I met my ex-wife again and finally I could consummate the broken marriage."Frederick narrows his eyes, "While you were married there on the farm, did you never have marital intimacy?""No, Kate always rejected me." Jock breaks the smug smile, "She always had hopes of mating again with Mr. Rocha. When her father said he was going to dissolve our marriage, she didn’t even disguise her happiness. It hurt my man ego, so I took all my frustration out on her yesterday.""And did she
On Monday, at Simeon’s house, Caio is getting ready to go to school together with Alan. Dora checks the boys' notebooks and backpacks."Did you do all the homework, Caio? The teacher will give you a zero score if you take the blank notebooks.""I did the homework before I came here, Grandma," Caio assures with a smile."Are you going home today, Caio?" Alan asks, "It’s too good when you’re here.""Yes, I miss our old gang gathered in the penthouse of Uncle Josias." Caio says, "But it looks like we won’t even have the penthouse anymore.""When the mansion is ready, we could all live there, right, Grandma?""Everybody, Alan?" Dora asks with interest, "Including your younger brothers?"Alan is taken by surprise. To this day he has not been formally introduced to David and J.J, not even at the Saturday party, "I don’t know..."Dora cuts the same subject she started, "Forget it, let’s have breakfast."When they go to the kitchen, Simeon is reading the newspaper at the table while Melissa b
