Building My Life Chapter 2009 Car Accident
Melissa is watching the music video of Hanson's song “If Only”, trying to fit in with pop culture to write fresh ideas for the next season of 'Sweet Love'. Kelvin returns from the midday service with his tuxedo jacket over his shoulders, his tie undone, and two buttons undone on his shirt.Melissa smirks at him, “Hmm, when the handsome hubby shows up like that, it means he has bad intentions.”Kelvin equally grins and throws himself onto the sofa, snuggling and tickling his beloved wife, “You hit the jackpot!”Melissa enjoys the tickling. Alan and Caroline come down the corridor and smile at their mother being loved and cared for.“Will I ever be happy like Mommy?” Caroline whispers in Alan's ear.Alan gets embarrassed, “What is it, little sister? It's still too early to think about something like that.”“Oh, how boring!” Caroline snorts, “I'll ask Rosemary.”As the music video ends, programming is interrupted once again, “We interrupt our programming to deliver this urgent news: Mrs.
Building My Life Chapter 2010 Good Job
Among the corridors of Rocha Constructions, the news has already spread like wildfire.Pollyanna has a whole bottle of pills in her hand about to swallow them all at once, with Alfred holding her wrist, “Don't do that, Pollyanna!”“Let go of me, Alfred! I need to commit suicide! I was responsible for the death of my boss's wife! I don't deserve life anymore!” Pollyanna shakes herself frantically.The bottle of pills falls from her hand and scatters across the floor. One of the pills lands on Octavio's foot. He follows the trail of the pills and discerns that they belonged to Pollyanna, “Pollyanna, I hope you haven't thought the worst.”Pollyanna lets the tears run down her cheeks, “I was very stupid, Octavio. I should never have doubted Everaldo's powerful words!”Everaldo became known among everyone intimate with Josias.Octavio strokes her head, “I don't believe Josias blames you for this.”Josias appears running and almost slips on the pills, “YAU! Someone sweep the floor, please!”
Building My Life Chapter 2011 Josias Holds to the Faith
Josias arrives at the General Hospital and makes a big fuss in the corridors.“WHERE IS SHE? WHERE IS SHE? KATE! KAAAATEEE!”He bumps into Beto and Wallace and they both grab him.“Josias, for Christ’s sake, calm down!” Beto exclaims excitedly, “Let’s wait in the lounge.”Everyone enters the famous lounge. Isabel enters after them with a handkerchief embroidered in gold, “Josias, I’m so sorry...”“What happened, guys?” Josias no longer holds back the tears, “She said just today that she wasn’t going to die!”Isabel feels shivers on the back of her neck, “She defied Divine law, Josias.”“Isabel, I don't believe Everaldo could have had the courage to kill her. Why?” Josias exclaims in disgust.Wallace shakes Josias by the shoulders, “For God's sake, man, don't go turning into an atheist now! You've always believed what Everaldo said since 1980. And you REALLY don't know why Katherine is being punished?”Josias sits on the sofa with tremors, “Kate and I forgive each other.”“Did she and
Building My Life Chapter 2012 The Worst Won't Happen
The lounge is now fuller with the presence of Octavio, Jane, Vernon, and Elza.Josias hugs his mother and smells the vodka on her breath, “Mother, did you drink?”The hug is broken, “How could I NOT drink at a time like this, son? It's too much tragedy for one life.”Vernon adds, “It seems like everyone who comes here ends up going to the cemetery.”Octavio wrinkles his nose, “No, guys, let's pray not!”Simeon starts to walk in circles, “It's getting dark. What a lengthy operation!”Dora sighs, “Take your time, dear. If this is to save their lives, so be it.”But Gabriela becomes more restless. She wants Katherine dead so she can marry Josias!João Paulo observes her, “Why are you scratching your arms, Gabriela?”“Guys, I'm going outside to get some fresh air. I don't think I should even be here.”Josias suddenly approaches her and looks deeply into her eyes, “Gabriela, thank you so much for coming. I imagine you came on behalf of Bernie and Maggie Marçal. I won’t forget your love and

Doctor Braggart decides to end the suspense and answers at once, “Guys, I have some good news for you. Josias Junior had an amazing recovery. The pediatricians who attended to him managed to stop the bleeding and he is out of danger.”All present applauded and cheered in uncontained ecstasy.“And my wife, Doctor?” Josias asks anxiously.Doctor Braggart shorted his smile, “Well… Mr. Rocha, I fear your wife's situation is more serious. Your son was wearing a seat belt, but she wasn't. I fear her recovery will be slower.”“But she's not going to die, is she?” Josias's eyes widen.“No, she definitely won't die.” Doctor Braggart shakes his head.“Thank the good Lord!” Isabel holds her hands up, “Did you see? Everaldo showed up, and everything was fine!”Everyone once again credits Everaldo with this victory. Josias lets out a long sigh of relief.Melissa and Kelvin appear in the lounge.Dora sees her, “Daughter, where have you been all this time?”“Mom, Dad… Kelvin and I went straight to t
Building My Life Chapter 2014 David Is Careless
João Paulo and Gabriela enter the former's office to work on the article. Gabriela is still smiling at what Josias said.“I didn't know you were so close to my brother.” João Paulo sits down, “You get along very well with Kate.”Gabriela suddenly tastes scarlet eggplant on her tongue, “What did you say?”“You are all smiles at Kate's recovery.” João Paulo comments while turning on the computer.Gabriela is forced to agree, “Yes, I want her to recover. Even though we hate each other, I know that Josias will grieve for her death. And J.J. doesn't deserve to lose his mother so soon.”João Paulo smiles in agreement, “I'm glad you have a good heart. Now let's leave Mrs. Marçal happy by producing the best article.”Gabriela pulls up another chair and sits next to him to work.******At Rocha Mansion, David smiles at Alan again.“Alan, glad you came. Wouldn't you find it interesting to see your mother dance with Carol and Rosemary?”“No, I don’t think!” Alan retorts sourly, “My mother is a r

At the Rocha Mansion, Melissa turned off the radio to toast J.J.“May Josias Bezerra Rocha Junior continue to grow in health and safety, under the blessings of God and Everaldo!”“HURRAY!” Everyone exclaims.Alan made a point of looking at David to see if he would say 'hurray', and David did.Carmen gestures, “OK, now let's cut the cake. But no mess!”Henrique and James already run to the table while the other children line up.“I miss Caio and João Paulo.” Caroline asserts.“Both are working now.” Rosemary explains, “It will soon be our turn.”“Rose, will you work with me at Maggiezine? Aunt Maggie promised me a job opening.” Caroline comments effusively.“Only if we do a journalism degree together.” Rosemary holds out the plastic plate and receives a slice of cake, “Thanks, Aunt Carmen.”“You welcome. And it's good advice, Rose. I'm sure Maggie won't deny you both a spot. João Paulo is already working there.”David once again chimes in by pretending no offense, “I thought he'd want

At Crystal Blue, Josias and Gabriela now have lunch together.Josias comments gallantly, “Gabriela, you didn't have to wait for my pasta to arrive so you could finish yours. Now your plate must be cold.”Gabriela doesn't mind the cold food at all, as her heart is warm, “Don't worry. I thought it would be impolite not to wait for you. So, Josias, how are things?”“You saw her, Kate woke up—”Gabriela interrupts Josias without realizing how rude she was, “I meant in general, how is your family, your company...?”“Oh, that.” Josias laughs, “Well, the company is doing spectacularly well; we have new projects for the year 2000. I’ll give an opening speech for the Uélton Freire building in Vila Velha...”“Oh, can I go?” Gabriela widens her eyes, “Maybe Maggie wants an article for the magazine.”“Yes, you can go.” Josias nods, “It will be a pleasure.”Gabriela smiles widely and raises her wineglass to toast. Josias accepts the toast with his glass.Daryl enters the restaurant and sees the co

Chapter 3148 Josias Is Insane
Josias visits the Rocha Hotel since he didn’t have a day off for the staff. In the management room, Eugenio gathered David, Benjamin, and Sybil. “Why is that mere cook present at this meeting?” David asked disparagingly. “Because that’s how our boss ordered it,” Eugenio replied dryly. “I didn’t say anything and didn’t call this meeting, so if you’ll excuse me...” Benjamin and Sybil were horrified to see David leaving the meeting just like that. However, when he opened the door, David came face to face with his father. “David, where do you think you’re going?” “DAD!” David exclaimed, extremely surprised. “I didn’t know you were coming!” “Didn’t Eugenio tell you I was coming?” Josias asked with a scowl. David understood who the ‘boss’ was. Benjamin and Sybil felt vindicated. Josias sat down at the desk, taking Eugenio’s seat, while the manager remained humbly standing. “Very well,” Josias began the meeting in a formal tone, “I’m here just to make things crystal clear.

Chapter 3147 Josias Instructs His Firstborn
Melissa and Mary visit the Mountain Café.“A guava juice for me, Mr. Mountain!” Mary requested, smiling sweetly.“Of course, my princess!” Rodrigo replied, thinking Mary was very adorable. “Neil will make a delicious cup for you.”“Thank you. But the princess is Carol,” Mary responded, striking a serious pose.Melissa and Rodrigo laughed heartily. Mary is something else...“Rod, how has it been managing the café in your father’s absence?” Melissa asked seriously.Rodrigo served a baked chicken pastry with ketchup to Mary. “I'm getting by, Melissa. Josias was here earlier, more concerned about my loss than his own, as always. Isn’t he supposed to be resting?”Melissa nodded. “My husband is like that: he only relaxes when all of us are relaxed.”“An impossible mission because of certain people.”Neilton approached with the glass. “Who ordered a guava juice?”“I DID!” Mary grabbed the glass and went to a table.Melissa leaned forward, “Neil, Rod, how are Daryl and Diane? Behaving?”“Cont

Chapter 3146 We Need to Talk - Dad
At João Paulo’s house, he and Josias were about to have a significant conversation.“Walter, do you want to go with your mom to the kitchen?” João Paulo asked, looking at Helen. “I think she made some walnut cake.”“It was carrot cake,” Sandra replied, already getting up from the couch.“You got it.” Helen appeared and picked up Walter in her arms. “Let’s let Dad and Uncle Josias talk.”“Bye, Uncle!” Walter waved goodbye to Josias.“Bye-bye, I want a piece later!” Josias chuckled.Once alone with João Paulo, Josias became serious. “Don’t let anything or anyone ruin this family scenario, little brother.”“I’m fine. No one wants to ruin anything,” João Paulo replied casually.“Well, I hope David hasn’t caused you any trouble.”“He probably doesn’t even know I exist, man.” João Paulo shrugged.“But I stopped by Café Montanha and found out that the Vasquez family has replaced the Mountain family as the ‘annoying people.’”João Paulo sighed in disappointment. “Yeah. They—”The doorbell ran

Chapter 3145 João Paulo Is a Good Father
Josias visits Café Montanha for a coffee and finds Rodrigo there. “Rod, how have you been?” Rodrigo is taken aback. “How am I? You’re the one who suffered a horrific loss recently!” “But you also lost your father. We’re in the same situation,” Josias explained as he sat down on a stool. “I’m okay, Josias. Life has a way of cheering me up. For example, I’m back at the diner after Thierry decided to take his place at the supermarket.” Rodrigo smiled. “What about the photography studio?” Josias smiled back. “It’s still going to operate, and Thierry will make periodic visits. But he’s going to appoint one of the staff to manage the studio.” Rodrigo served a pizza pastry to Josias. “Thank you. Well, I hope everything is alright between you two. I need to visit Rosemary and meet Jean Luc — is that the name of the baby?” “Yes, the name of the supermarket heir. Meanwhile, Frank will be here or somewhere else.” Josias interjected, “If Frank wants to work at Rocha Constructions, count

Chapter 3144 Benjamin Requests a Transfer
At the Rocha Mansion, Josias receives a visit from Benjamin. “How have you been, Ben? Any news about your parents?” The two embrace. “Actually, that’s what I want to talk about.” Benjamin scratches the back of his neck. The embrace breaks. “Let’s go to my office.” The two gentlemen enter Josias’s imposing office. “Any problems with Adolfo?” Josias asks, becoming serious. “Not yet, but I hope not to have any,” Benjamin replies with some sadness. “You know, Josias, what happened with your father made me think about my family, about how important it is for all of us to be together in the final moments.” “That’s true. João Paulo can tell you that better than I can.” “I think you can say it too. Vernon was the father you never had.” Benjamin clears his throat. “So, I’ve been looking into some hotels and realized there’s a demand at the Rocha Hotel in Victoria.” Josias looks at Benjamin, understanding where he’s going with this. “You want to go to Victoria to be close to your pare

Chapter 3143 Return
Someone rings the doorbell at João Paulo’s house. The homeowner goes to answer after taking a shower and putting on clean clothes. But when he opened the door, João Paulo felt like slamming it in the visitor’s face. “Don’t be rude!” Erasmo exclaimed. “What do you want, you old bore?” João Paulo shot back. Erasmo barged into João Paulo’s foyer. “The mourning is over. Let’s pick up where we left off.” “Are you crazy? Who decides how long mourning lasts? We just got back from the trip!” “Not exactly, it’s been a day. Life goes on, my friend!” Erasmo replied mockingly. João Paulo remained serious. “But I don’t want to continue living this way, where fights and intrigues are the order of the day. Mr. Vasquez, you have a business to run, and I have a family to raise.” “But you found time to slap my son-in-law when he was here defending his family, didn’t you?” “Alan was extremely rude, but that was some time ago.” João Paulo frowned. “I don’t feel the same anger as before.” “So a

Chapter 3142 Let’s Launch Another Biography
At the Vasquez Mansion, Alan could hardly believe that the people were thinking about more intrigues and disputes. “Guys, don’t you understand that I even forgot the reason I slapped Uncle João Paulo?” “Ridiculous!” Erasmo gestured. “You just maintained respect because it was a difficult occasion. But now, the mourning is OVER!” “Do you think João Paulo will rest, dear?” Sofia asked, sitting next to him. Alan shook his head. “If Uncle João Paulo doesn’t want to rest, then he is truly despicable. But my dad is back in town. He wouldn’t dare to do that.” The news should have been uplifting, but the members of the Vasquez family merely exchanged silent glances. With Josias present, it’s quite likely that he will put a stop to their fighting. Alan turned to Olivia. “In the meantime, we should celebrate the recovery of my dear mother-in-law!” Olivia and Sofia smiled awkwardly because of the secret they were keeping. “That’s right, let’s celebrate life!” Erasmo wrapped his arm arou

Chapter 3141 Respect the Mourning
Josias Rocha and his family returned to Lagoon City. Those who were waiting for them stayed in the mansion and greeted them cheerfully in the foyer. “WELCOME BACK!” Melissa, crying, embraced her parents, William, and the twins fervently. Josias greeted them with a light smile. “Where’s João Paulo?” William asked. “He went straight to his house. His kids needed to rest from the trip.” Melissa wiped her tears with her fingers. “Alan went straight to his mansion. Especially now that his mother-in-law has woken up from the coma.” “That was a scare; I thought we’d have two funerals,” Simeon commented. Everyone headed to the living room. “Is Paris very beautiful, Mom?” Mary asked. “Yes, sweetheart, it’s stunning. We’ll go shopping together another time, okay?” “Do you have pictures?” Ignacio asked anxiously. “Yes, son, we took some pictures.” Melissa sat on the couch, pulling out a package from her bag. Josias sat in the armchair, taking a deep breath. William approached him.

Chapter 3140 Let’s Request a Transfer
At Café Montanha, Daryl walks in for a coffee and finds Rodrigo at the counter while Neilton serves the others. “Hey, are we back to the old tradition?” “Don’t be a clown, man.” Rodrigo laughs. “Yes, Thierry is at the supermarket, as we agreed.” “Hi, Neil. Can you make me a cappuccino while I enjoy a natural sandwich?” Daryl places his order. “Sure thing, Mr. Mountain.” Neilton heads to the back. Daryl sits on the stool. “So, how do you feel after getting back to your element?” “I don’t regret at all helping my dear wife at the supermarket, Daryl,” Rodrigo admitted while preparing the natural sandwich. “I’m not talking about regrets.” Daryl joked. “But it’s undeniable that after Uncle Francisco’s passing, you prefer to stay here, carrying on the legacy he left.” “Just like Crystal Blue.” Rodrigo smiled. “Hey, I’m aware that you’re looking to open another restaurant in Sunset Village. Do you think you can manage it? How’s the prospecting going?” Daryl picks up the sandwich but
