Melissa is at her house, on the computer, focused on writing more episodes for the soap opera 'Sweet Love'. The radio helps her with inspiration from the song “Around the World”, from East 17. Melissa nods her head to the beat of the song.Dora approaches and smiles when she sees her daughter concentrating, “Whoever sees you like that, thinks you're not working.”“Let them think.” Melissa smiles defiantly, “I'm going to prove to everyone that I can do it.”Dora stands by her daughter, “And who thinks you can't?”“There's always someone,” Melissa grumbles.Dora prepares to communicate what Josias has decided at the mansion, “Daughter, your father has authorized me to inform you of a decision Josias made while we were at his mansion.”Melissa shows little interest, “Mom, please, I just want to hear from Josias when I talk about our children. His new life with Angela cannot be of interest to me.”Dora catches the word, “Cannot? What radicalism is this? No, honey, I'm going to tell you ri
Melissa is stunned to see how her parents forcibly want her to not be traumatized by the Rocha penthouse.The radio plays “Think Twice”, and it seems like Céline Dion is advising Melissa to think twice before acting.Melissa stands up and tries to fight back, “Mom, you're not serious. If I live in the Rocha penthouse, memories of my past with Josias will surface in my mind like ghosts. I will be miserable knowing that my ex-husband will no longer walk through that door to hug me, kiss me, and love me!”Dora takes pity on her daughter, “Honey, I know, but now you have Kelvin for that.”“Then it gets worse! Do you think Kelvin will want to live in a penthouse that was coined after another man?”Dora shrugs, “You can change it to 'Mountain Penthouse'. Or maybe Kelvin doesn't even care. Have you discussed this with him?”Melissa doesn't respond. She just realizes how she and Kelvin have stopped talking about a lot of things...Dora takes the opportunity to advise her, “Talk to him, dear.
At Crystal Blue, Daryl says goodbye to Kelvin. Waiters are cleaning the hall after the noon service.“Little brother, I'm going to date Diane before Roberto rapes her. Do you take care of the restaurant here?”“Sure.” Kelvin smiles displaying perfect teeth, “Melissa comes over and we'll talk.”“Ah, hence that smile.” Daryl pats his younger brother's shoulder.Melissa enters at this moment and finds the two, “Good afternoon, everyone. How is Diane, Daryl?”“Intact, that's what I hope. Excuse me, I'm heading there right now.” Daryl storms off, somewhat paranoid.Kelvin leads Melissa to the bar where Benjamin is cleaning the counter.“Ben, pour my girlfriend a shot of cognac.”“Is it Ben who's bartending here?” Melissa asks in surprise.Benjamin smiles, “I'm learning a few things, cousin.”Kelvin comments, “Ben told me that he tried to learn to cook in the past. If he dedicated himself, he could go from being a waiter to being a chef here.”Melissa smiles, “Are you listening, Ben? There
Miguel decides to stop being a mystery before Beto and Cristina suffer a massive stroke.“Rosemary goes to an Institution for Minors.”The bomb had the same effect as a massive stroke for both of them. WHAT?!Cristina splays her hands on the desk and stands up furiously, “WHAT? Will my granddaughter go to an orphanage?”“Exactly. She has no living biological father and her mother is a slut who abandoned her. This is what happens to children who are abandoned.”“But she has her maternal family that is still around!” Cristina roars like the lioness.“When I take all the confusions that Beto has just told me to the Family Court, no judge on this Earth will give custody to a crazy grandmother who raised a prostitute daughter.”“You DAMN IT!” Cristina slaps another ex-son-in-law.Beto rages, “How cool, you crazy old woman! Now you have complicated our situation!”“Shut up!” Cristina also slaps Beto and runs out of Damascene Lawyers.Beto tries one last time, “Please, Miguel, think carefull
Diane is amazed when she hears Cristina announce that she is going to repeat Pamela's mistake.“Auntie, no! Why are you going to run away, where? Can't you see that's exactly what Pam did? Then you get offended when they compare you to her!”“I don't care about anything else but my granddaughter's safety! Where is she?” Cristina screams at the top of her lungs.“She is in the Rocha Mansion, playing with the other children.” Diane responds.“That's great, they're mixing Rosemary with the grandchildren of our enemies!” Cristina turns on her heel to leave.However, Daryl wheels Moacyr out of the canteen and into the lobby.“Wait, honey!” Moacyr exclaims.Cristina freezes her steps in the doorway and turns to her husband.“Where are you going?”“Moacyr, I'm going to rescue our granddaughter. Miguel decided to put her in an orphanage instead of leaving her with us!”Moacyr is shocked, “What? But what about her maternal family? And Beto?”“Beto was with me in Miguel's office. We both fought
The next day, Ronaldo and Octavio don't quite understand Jack's decision not to pursue his artistic career on TV.Gathered around the table for breakfast, Jack explains, “I'm still getting used to the camera flashes. My dream was to be a novelist, guys!”“You can write your books in your spare time.” Octavio asserts, “It was a golden opportunity, little brother.”“It certainly won't be the only one.” Jack smiles confidently, “I know LCN won't give up on me.”“That's what you say, son.” Ronaldo congratulates him, “That's why you have the opportunity to join an acting school so that no one says you don't have natural talent.”“I'm going to start looking today.” Jack takes a sip of coffee.******Shirley is standing in front of the radio playing “Endless Love,” a version by Luther Vandross & Mariah Carey.

Josias is surprised to see Miguel wanting to walk naked through the corridors of the Rocha Hotel as if this were some American comedy movie. Elza almost faints and covers her eyes, hiding nestled against her husband.“Miguel, what does that mean?” Josias asks very outragedly.Miguel loses the color in his face, “Ehr... sorry guys, I meant to go to my suite!”“So?” Josias points to the lawyer's nakedness, “Where are your clothes?”“Katherine tore them apart with scissors. Last night we did it worse than wild animals...”“No details!” Josias sees that Elza is about to faint, “Get out of here before the maids see you.”Instead of Josias having at least one robe provided with the room service, he had Miguel parade how he came into the world through the halls to his room.But Miguel bumped into hotel guests and staff every three steps!“Argh! Help, a pervert!” People shouted in horror.“Sorry, sorry...!” Miguel has never experienced vexation of this magnitude, but there is always the first
If Katherine couldn't move a muscle, her survival instinct made her reinvigorate herself just to escape the slaps and aggressions coming from Elza. She jumps out of bed and ends up tripping and falling to the floor like a sack of potatoes.“That's it, you promiscuous, get away from here! The maids will take a week to sterilize these blankets and sheets!”“Mother, what is this?” Josias is embarrassed.Katherine does her best to stay upright. Miguel surpassed himself in brutality... “Josias, are you going to stand still and let your mother insult me like that?”“I can't even understand what happened here!”Katherine smirks, “Well... Miguel and I bumped into each other in the hallways and just HAD to come here to quench our heat.”Elza slaps her son's concubine once more, “Putana!”Josias only cares about one thing, “And where is J.J?”“You didn't want him meddling with your bastard sons? I left him at the Rocha mansion!”“Tramp!” Elza slaps Katherine for the third time. Now blood is c
