Angela starts having a serious panic attack when she hears from Katherine that everyone supports Melissa instead of her.“This is absurd! What did I do to deserve so much hate and contempt? Everyone had gotten used to the idea that I was going to be the new Mrs. Rocha!”Katherine crosses her arms, “Stop the drama, Thalía! Are you serious when you don't know what your mistake was?”“I suppose Lady Wisdom will enlighten my thoughts!” Angela retorts ironically.Katherine takes a deep breath, “Look, I'm not into all the details, but I know from what I saw that day at the hotel. You took Melissa to the restaurant just to fight and accuse her. If Melissa told everyone what you did, then of course everyone sided with her!”Angela huffs like a cow, “So that's it, the gossip spread it to everyone and she played the victim!”“Hey, honey, did you really think Melissa wasn't going to at least tell her mother? You can't humiliate people and expect them not to fight back!”Angela walks away, “I'm g
Katherine holds her sore cheek for a few seconds after being slapped by Angela. Afterward, she smiles as if the aggression doesn't hurt.“Looks like someone couldn't bear to hear the truth.” She mocks her rival.“The truth is that no one is going to stop my marriage to Josias. He chose me and not you for obvious reasons!” Angela rants, trying to convince herself of that.Katherine smirks, “It looks like the tables are turning. You're the one acting crazy and I'm being the controlled and rational one. Is that not how you snatched Josias from me?”“You lost him for being a promiscuous scoundrel!” Angela yells, “Josias told me he caught you coming back from the street all worn out after sleeping with other men!”“Yes, that was my mistake, and I bitterly regret it.” Katherine admits, “Unlike you, who think the world is turning against you.”“But isn't that what's happening?” Angela gestures, “After everyone heard that prophecy, there's nothing else to say: Josias and Melissa will get back
Josias enters the mansion and hears Angela's cry echoing through the halls. He quickens his steps and goes to the ballroom.There, the radio is off, the drink is hot, and flies are landing on the food. Angela is lying on a couch that looks like a psychiatrist's couch, sobbing and crying incessantly.Josias addresses her, "My love... Angie, I'm so sorry—"“It was that slut, it was Melissa!” Angela screams madly, “While you were worried about me not letting her in, she didn't even want to come! She didn’t come and convince everyone to boycott my beautiful party!”Angela continues to shake and sob. Josias wiggles.“Angie, my bachelor party was a failure too. But nobody said it was Melissa's idea.”“Of course it was her idea, honey, for God's sake, don't be blind!” She screams through her tears.“I'm trying to open my eyes!” Josias asserts, “Until hours ago, I thought everyone agreed with our union.”“That damn Everaldo!” Angela straightens up on the divan, “I'm going to kill him, do you
Monday. Elza is typing on the computer, well into her work. Her office door opens and Jane walks in with a serious expression.“Mrs. Queiroz, your son wishes to speak with you.”“Allow him in, Jane, thank you.”Jane makes room and Josias enters, saying good morning to the secretary. After she closes the door, the son faces his mother.Elza raises her head, “Son, I already told you that I fax you the hotel's financial report.”“I didn't come to talk about the hotel's finances, Mom. Your secretary has already done that.” Josias answers seriously.Elza smiles slightly, “So you came to talk about what I called you yesterday.”Josias pulls out a chair and sits down, “Mom, what's going on with everyone? Suddenly, everyone turned against my marriage.”Elza takes a deep breath, “Son, facts have arisen that have put Angie in an unfavorable light.”“I don't believe the slander of haters at all!” Josias quickly responds, outraged.“Calm down, son!” Elza is amazed, “Whoever told me wasn't a hater
Josias is reassured when Elza informs him that Melissa wants to remain engaged to Kelvin. “Good, Mom.” He smirks like a fool, “I wouldn't be able to ask Melissa to come back to me after all the shenanigans I've inflicted on her. She suffered a lot, first because of my two adulteries, second because of my supposed death. I left her in the dark to investigate that rogue Ephraim Bezerra.” “By the way, his daughter is working here as a maid,” Elza remembers him. Josias smiles from the corner of his mouth, “You didn't miss your chance, huh? Is she even doing a good job?” “So far, Mrs. Rosales had no complaints. I just hope she doesn't push her luck.” Elza looks for complaints in Mrs. Rosales’ report, but there aren't. “Back to the subject, Mom, it made me sad to see everyone talking about Everaldo's prophecy and Kelvin just listening. Everyone talked as if he wasn't there.” Elza suspects that Uélton still hasn't told Josias about the true interpretation of the prophecy, "Have you been
Josias walks through the Rainbow Garden house under construction. Uélton's battery-powered radio sets the mood of the construction site with the song “Earth Song”, by Michael Jackson. Some masons try to hum the song without the slightest knowledge of the English language, but what counts is the animation to work.Josias doesn’t join the relaxed atmosphere of the construction site and continues walking with a frown until he finds Uélton precisely with Jock in the room that will be one of the bedrooms.“Hello, buddy!” Uélton greets him as if the ill-fated bachelor party didn't exist.“Good day, sir.” Jock greets him respectfully, “What envelope is that?”Josias holds out the envelope, but not close enough for one of them to pick it up, “Here are the pictures Jock took inside. I recognize that they turned out well, Uélton. I think you should specialize in photography.”Uélton narrows his eyes, “I already specialize in electrical engineering.”“Really?” Josias asks in a strange tone.“And
Uélton and Jock are surprised to see that Josias is threatening to fire his best friend because of Angela.Uélton defends himself as best he can, “Josias, you are taking this too far.”“Am I the one who keeps saying I'll make two more people unhappy? Isn't it enough that I broke Melissa's heart?” Josias asserts gruffly.“You can heal Melissa's heart by marrying her again.” Uélton insists, almost begging.“And how got Kelvin and Angela in this story?” Josias smiles wryly.“Kelvin is a good guy, he can get another girl.” Uélton responds as if everything were so simple, “As for Angela, I really don't care how she turns out. She is to blame for you getting divorced.”“But she mothered one of my children. David is not to blame for anything.” Josias remembers him.“Neither Alan nor Caroline, but they are the ones who suffered the most.” Uélton says, “However, that's not what it's about. What do the pictures I took of Jock have to do with all this?”Josias smiles from the corner of his mouth
Elza is walking through the hotel corridors, checking that things are in order, until Vernon finds her.“Hey, my dear! The maids said you were here.” He kisses her on the cheek, “I hope this article is good enough for all of us.”Elza smiles and takes the newspaper that her husband handed her. But the smile slowly fades as she reads the article.“Honey, are you going to...” She asks fearfully, “Are you going to talk about Angie's failed bachelorette party?”“I told you, honey.” Vernon smiles slyly, “People need to know the truth.”“I talked to Josias.” She sighs, “He's still shocked by our slights, but he's pleased with Melissa committing to sticking with Kelvin.”“Darling, I think Josias is going to get himself into trouble marrying that little minx. I know they have a son, but Josias already takes care of all of David's needs.” Vernon opines with a serious face.Elza nods, worried, “And I think further: Angela might be able to get rid of J.J, wanting David to be the sole heir.”“Tha
