2021-06-09 19:19:21Josias is walking to Tiago's house and trying not to laugh in the middle of the street, remembering how the Chaves sisters went from excited to angry in the blink of an eye.
"As I suspected, she always kept an eye on me. That talk about getting away from Melissa, saying that I was not worthy for her, was all bullshit. Pamela wanted to get away from me so I could stay with her. She liked the body of the 'bricklayer helper'."
Josias smiles again. Pamela's stunning face will stay in his mind for many days.
When Tiago receives him, he tells what he did. Tiago listens with some apprehension.
"When I was with them to talk about the medical treatment, they didn't seem so mundane and inconsequential." He ponders.
"Take care, Tiago." Josias warns with his index finger, "They are this way, like spiders in a web: first they trick you into being a sweet person, then they trap you. I shouldn't have taken her to my room..."
"Well, that's in the past. Some

Building My Life Chapter 154 Unusual Proposal
William is not the only one to be irritated by Josias and Melissa's rapprochement. At Uélton's house, he announces to his brother when they are about to sleep."Josias was invited to attend the wedding of Tiago Bento's sister. That is an honor!"Wallace just does 'tsk' and shrugs. He takes off his clothes while Uélton is already under the covers."He won two invitations and was thinking about calling me, but I logically told him to invite someone else who was worth it."It was better for Uélton to quiet, but he cannot discipline his mouth, as Josias had asked many times. Wallace, now in his underwear, sits on the bed and opens the blanket to cover him."Of course he will prefer to take a call girl instead of you. I'm saying you only think about this guy, let him take a breath!"Uélton smiles from the corner of his mouth, enjoying the effect he intends to have on his brother. "I wouldn't call her a 'call girl' if I

Wallace thinks that William reacted favorably to the proposal to separate Josias from Melissa to join her with him. But, William is reacting with revolt and outrage."How dare you ask me for such a thing? I don't like my sister being treated with a lack of decorum!"Wallace breaks his smile and finds William's reaction strange. "What did you say? It's not like that, buddy. I just want Melissa's good.""That's what everybody says, but if I blink, Melissa becomes a single mother!" William pushes Wallace aside, "Excuse me, man, before I'm late!"Wallace doesn't give up and pulls William by the backpack. "Wait, boy, let's talk straight! You don't even know me to say whether I'm worthy or not for your sister."William looks at Wallace as if he's casting laser beams from his eyes. "Listen here, you pervert: no man in this world will live up to my dear sister, do you understand me? Neither Josias nor you, so forget this deal, I don't want my sister to be

Teodoro runs and holds Josias's two arms behind him before the boy continues to throw more punches. Lucky for Wallace for being equally strong and not falling to the ground, but the punch was well done and he feels his face burn.Wallace holds the left cheekbone and shreds Josias with his gaze."You two can stop right now, I won't allow a fight at the lobby!" Teodoro orders furiously."Seu Teodoro, you have not heard what this so-called servant of the Lord is doing with his brother!" Josias exclaims angrily, "In addition to punching him, do you attribute homosexual behavior to him just because he defends me?""He doesn't stop talking about you. If he had a clue, he wouldn't have told me about the wedding and I wouldn't even be here." Wallace counters in the same fierce tone."But, why does the fact that I want to go to the wedding with Melissa bother you so much?" Josias already knows the answer, but he wants to hear it from Wallace."You ar

The building where the Silva Construction Company headquarters will be has one of the walls covered by graffiti, another wall is peeled and with visible cracks. In other times people could say it was a blue building, but now, it is difficult to say. It has four floors and almost disappears in front of other buildings between ten and twelve floors."Is it right here, Tiago?" Josias asks in disbelief."Yes, it was the best place we found. Seu Romualdo ran the entire Downtown, it was not easy."Josias resigned himself. Someone with Romualdo's vision would even find a cheaper rental office, even if it meant an unattractive location like this building.Tiago takes the keys out of his jeans pocket and opens the gate, which is rusty and corroded with rust and salt spray. Then, they enter the building through the side door that leads straight to the stairs. Josias realizes that the second floor is being used as a private dental clinic. The third floor is vacant a

Meanwhile, at the women's clothing store (one that Melissa would never dream of setting foot on); Elisa is choosing a dress for Melissa.The occasion for the two to talk as friends ended up coming naturally."So, how long have you been dating Josias?" Elisa asks with such certainty that Melissa gets embarrassed."Oh, no, he's not my boyfriend anymore." Melissa tries to fix it."Sorry, honey, but a man as handsome as Josias can't be without a girlfriend. Run and grab him while there's still time." She speaks while examining the clothes rack.Melissa blushes with embarrassment. "He's indeed handsome; he looks like an Israeli king, like David.""Well then, why did you let that sheik go? Were you jealous of the concubines?" Elisa chooses a lilac dress and holds it out to Melissa.Melissa is mesmerized by the dress, tries on the fabric, and feels it is silk. She is slow to respond because of this.Smiling at the choice, Elisa takes

Melissa is amazed and eager to make her neighbors jealous. If Pamela gets jealous, it'd be even better for Melissa.Meanwhile, without them noticing, Everaldo approaches and waits for the bus to Rainbow Garden. He ends up tuning his ear to the ladies' conversation."So, are you really going to dance with Josias at the party?" Elisa asks.Melissa responds dreamily, "If he asks me, yes.""Enjoy it, girl, and accept the marriage proposal." Elisa encourages her."Why are you so sure that he will propose to me?" Melissa doesn't understand her friend's insistence."Because it looks like you were born to each other. You said he had just run away from Rainbow Garden and was short on cash, but he still wanted to help you buy a bottle of shampoo. Well, darling, on this day it was

Now with his wardrobe, he can buy and store numerous personal items that were previously missing, such as gel after-shave.He looks in the mirror and checks the look. He smiles, pleased with him. Who knew he would now be wearing a black suit in style, about to go to a wedding party?Josias looks at the shoes that are also new. He was advised by Tiago to buy a shoe polish for them.While walking down the stairs, Josias meets Jeremiah, who promptly mocks him when he sees him well dressed."Where are you going, to a costume party? Are you dressed up as important people?""Is that envy because you will never be like me?" Josias replies in the same tone."You always thought more than you are." Jeremiah speaks contemptuously, "You always acted as if you didn't belong here, as if you were never one of us. One day, buddy, you will wake up from the dream and feel
Building My Life Chapter 161 The Wedding Party
In the ceremonial club, the ample space was decorated all in white, to match the bride's dress. Powerful reflectors instead of ordinary lamps made the place brighter. There weren't many people, as the Bento family was not famous in the city.Josias looked at the guests in general and discerned that they were all basically from the same social life as them, just wearing better clothes. No tycoons, celebrities, politicians, or film and TV artists. Because, knowing Tiago, that was all that was missing from the party.However, this made Josias more relaxed. Being the guests from middle class to down, he and Melissa would not have to worry about etiquette at the table, nor remember to choose cutlery from the outside to inside. Josias mentally bet that the menu would also be on par with the weddings he had already attended when he lived in Rainbow Garden.Round tables covered with white linen towels were also available in the two corners of the club, leaving space in

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. Looks like I’ll have to deal with

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

At the Rocha Hotel, Eugenio and Jake are talking to Suzy about what is happening. 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

Rodrigo and Nadia entered the General Hospital lounge, finding Karen and Diane. “We’re here! 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

At Vaztrans, William swallowed hard before answering Sofia’s question.“Sofia, your cousin really went too far this time,” he began cautiously.“What do you mean?” Sofia narrowed her eyes. “I know Luís can be a bit difficult, but—”“Yes, the hot Spanish blood speaks louder sometimes, right?” William took a deep breath. “Luís assaulted Felipe. 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! It can’t be because of Suzy Cogo!” Sofia ran her hands through her hair as if to pull it out.“It seems we were wrong to have accepted her partnership, huh?” William shook his head.“If she starts to tarnish Vaztrans’ reputation...” Sofia paced around the office. “First, her statement: her reluctance to raise the salary of the employees here. Now, this love triangle that I thought was over...”“Everaldo warned us to be careful with her,”

At Vaztrans, William and Daryl were discussing the repercussions of Suzy’s article in Maggiezine.“People are accepting Suzy’s apologies and explanations,” William broke the silence, holding a copy.Daryl pursed his lips. “Whatever. Sometimes I think João Paulo is lurking, ready to pounce on anything to throw us into confusion.”“But the salary bonus we promised will be paid, right?” William smirked.“Of course, what choice do we have?” Daryl pointed to the magazine. “She made it clear in the interview. We’re not going to contradict her, are we?”William laughed ironically. “It seems Suzy is going to be the kind of person who does anything to get out of trouble, even if it means contradicting herself.”Daryl’s cell phone rang, and he answered, seeing it was Diane. “My dear is calling. Hello, Di?”Diane was at the hospital entrance, trying to be strong. “Hello, Daryl. We need you at the hospital.”“What happened?” Daryl’s eyes widened.“Luís Vasquez beat our son to a pulp, as they say,
