“Honey, I'm going to the penthouse. The pool renovation guys are waiting. With that, we can move there permanently, what do you think?”
“I think it’s good, hon.”
“So,” Diane's gaze goes straight to the envelope, “what did the exam come up with?”
Daryl looks both ways and checks that no one is spying on them, “I'm normal, honey.”
Diane widens her eyes, “Is your sperm quality… normal?”
“Yes, I’m not sterile, and neither are you.” Daryl grins.
“So it's only a matter of time before God blesses us!” Diane hugs her husband tight, hopeful, “We'll make it, darling!”
“In fact, Gabriela is giving birth to her son right now,” Daryl remarks casually.
“I won't see her.” Diane breaks the hug and say

At the Cardozo Store, the sight of customers coming in and out with purchases was pleasing to Diana and Karen. Especially after they discovered that Daryl’s plan had worked. They were chatting at the counter while no sales associate was nearby.“My husband is a genius.

Brendon looked at the girl with dark blonde hair and a gentle smile. She was holding a brown envelope, probably a resume. “Yes, I am.” “Nice to meet you. I’m Sarah Paes, and I’m looking for a job.” Sarah extended the envelope. “Sarah, nice to meet you. Look, we are hiring salespeople, but we have someone specific to handle that – and she hasn’t arrived yet.” Sarah had a special sparkle in her eyes, indicating that she wasn’t just cute – she was determined. “I know, but it’s always good to go straight to the top, right?” Brendon smiled, pleased with her courage. He took the envelope. “From what I see, you’ve done some research about the store.” “Yes, I need to know where I’m likely going to work.” Sarah wisely used the word ‘likely.’

João Paulo had just finished rinsing the soap and shampoo from his hair when he felt an extra breeze. He turned around and, to his great shock, realized there was an audience watching him in the shower! “ARGH!” João Paulo closed the shower curtain, leaving only his head visible. Josias, laughing at the silliness between brothers, teased, “Usually, people have a tan line on their butt, but you’re completely bronzed, little brother! Have you been to a nude beach?” João Paulo neither confirmed nor denied it, wanting to change the subject. “What’s going on, Josias?” “Do you also want to play amnesia? Fine, I’ll give you clues to refresh your memory.” Josias stepped back, leaning against the sink. “It has to do with the photo of two people toasting at Crystal Blue.” João Paulo frowned, turning off the faucet. He reached out to grab the towel, but Josias was quicker and took the towel. João Paulo’s hand groped at nothing. “Hey, where’s the towel?” “First, answer me,” Josias provoke

I believe that ‘He’s back’ refers to him, not to the strange nickname.” Erasmo retorted, “Strange is putting it mildly, Josias! It was a crude and very suspicious nickname to have been created by a MAN!” Josias pursed his lips, trying not to get irritated with the outrageous comments. “Well, I didn’t come to ruin your celebration,” Josias stated, looking toward the exit. “I need to go. It’s good to know everything is in order here.” “We’re managing to pay off the loan,” Olivia hinted, unsure if that was what Josias wanted to discuss. “I’ll rely on Alan to check on that. See you soon!” Josias smiled charismatically and left. Olivia slammed the door shut, complaining, “Do you think he’ll talk to the youngest brother?” Erasmo calmed down, sitting at the desk.

He turned to face the visitor and saw him smiling mischievously.“You didn’t come here to consult with me.”“Not at all.” Luís leaned against the examination table. “I want answers.”“It’s not something I take pride in sharing.” Matthew shook his head somberly.“Don’t worry, doctor. I was also a victim of my own aunt’s lust.” Luís assured him with the same smile.Matthew, however, was left dumbfounded, too horrified to think clearly.“She really is a pro

Rocha Hotel, late afternoon. Luís, reinstated in his job, was back at his old desk checking what he had missed. The door opened, and Eugenio appeared. “Comfortable, Luís? Good thing David didn’t change anything.” Luís frowned as he replied, staring at the computer, “He didn’t mess with the office, but he really messed things up here. There are tons of computer viruses coming from adult sites.” Eugenio blushed to the roots of his hair. “That bastard son of Josias must be his worst regret.” Eugenio closed the door before expressing what was stuck deep inside him. Luís smiled slightly, agreeing. “He’s downstairs, taking care of the receptionists and bellboys like old times.” Eugenio cleared his throat before continuing, “Luís, what do you intend to do regarding the front-page story in the newspaper?” “I need to handle a few matters first,” Luís replied in a dark tone. Eugenio grew more fearful. There was an aura of destruction around Luís that he had not known before. No one wou
