Building My Life Chapter 2302 Claimed by Him
The next day, Josias and Melissa woke up cuddling together in the double bed as if they were the old Rocha couple. At least, in Josias’s mind, that certainty was stronger.Melissa looked around Josias’s equally luxurious bedroom and felt like she was in a dream. After years in the penthouse master suite, this suite that looked more like a VIP room in a European hotel took her breath away.“Josias, I must admit that you have good taste,” Melissa comments.Josias smiles, spooning Melissa into his arms, afraid of losing her again, “Say I’m dreaming.”“You aren’t dreaming, Josias.” Melissa looks around and finds some bags from the expensive stores she used to frequent, “Which bags are those?”Josias lets go of Melissa and leans against the headboard, showing off his muscular torso. He smiles, “I needed to get you some new clothes.”Melissa gets still under the covers, “Sorry, Josias. I didn’t even bring a nightgown.”Josias goes back to stroking Melissa’s shoulders, “Hey, calm down... I’m
Building My Life Chapter 2303 Melissa Found Out Everything
Josias and Melissa are now at the dining table, having a sumptuous breakfast. The maids serving breakfast can barely hide their admiration for being in front of the Lady of Lagoon City.“Anything else, ma’am?”“No, thank you.” Melissa thanks them with a charismatic smile.The maids leave.Josias is pleased with what he saw, “They admire you, Melissa. Little do they know that they are serving the mistress and owner of this mansion.”Melissa smiles awkwardly, “Josias...”“No discussion.” Josias takes her right hand, “Yesterday I claimed you. You are mine, Melissa, and I am yours.”Melissa glares at Josias. Is this really happening?Between ricotta cheese and cubed pieces of ham, Melissa decides to tell him what’s going on.“Josias, I need to remind you... Under the law, I’m still married to Kelvin.”“Damascene Lawyers are now available.” Josias states, “I called them while you were upstairs getting dressed.”Melissa smiles slightly, “Thank you, Josias, but is this truly necessary?”“Abs
Building My Life Chapter 2304 Mountain Family Gathering II
The next day, Daryl gathered the Mountain family together to discuss the urgent matter. Everyone interested was in sofas. Daryl kept his foot in a cast, sitting in the armchair.“I think I should buy a new armchair.” He suggests through clenched teeth.“Daryl, we’re all here.” Bernardo says, “What happened this time?”“Turns out, family, that Melissa moved out of Kelvin’s apartment. She probably came here.”Everyone is stunned by the information.“Daryl...” Maggie feels her voice shaky, “Kelvin didn’t call me.”“He didn’t say anything to me either,” Francisco says.“Well, he’s probably too embarrassed to admit defeat.” Daryl asserts with a frown, “How sorry I am to be in this situation. My little brother is in pain and needs comforting.”“Did he tell you why?” Isabel asks, worried.“No, he doesn’t know.” Daryl responds, “Melissa left with just cash and a few credit cards. Clothes, jewelry, the twins, all that was left behind.”“The twins too?” Rodrigo is startled.“Exactly.” Daryl nod
Building My Life Chapter 2305 Melissa Explains to Maggie
Josias was at Rocha Constructions, imposing in his pinstripe suit, huddled in the conference room with Tiago, Alfred, and Octavio.“Guys, I called you and left Lorraine out because we need to touch on something that doesn’t concern the company.”“We’re listening, master.” Tiago sharpens his ear.“Since yesterday, Melissa showed up at my mansion, desperate, disheveled, and with the clothes on her back. No suitcases, and most interestingly, without the twins.”The gentlemen who hear such a bombshell gape in shock.Alfred is the first to break the silence, “But... But what happened?”Josias has a gloomy face as he answers, “Melissa overheard a conversation behind Kelvin where her husband complains to Daryl about everything that has gone wrong since 1999. It was evident to Melissa that everything they’d done, especially the opening of the franchise of Crystal Blue in Victoria, was just to get her away from me because she attempted to confess the truth to me about Gabriela and that whole f
Building My Life Chapter 2306 No Right to Complain
Maggie returns to Marçal Publishing. Bernardo and Diane are waiting for her in her office.“What’s up, dear?” Bernardo asks anxiously.“I’ll pass the message to Daryl.” Diane asserts.Maggie glares at Diane, “Sister-in-law, my brother has ruined everything. It’s entirely his fault, and there’s nothing we can do about it.”“OK, tell us what happened,” Bernardo asks.“Kelvin became stressed with managing the Crystal Blue franchise and took his frustrations out on Melissa.” Maggie summarizes the story, “There was one day Melissa overheard Kelvin complaining to Daryl about everything that happened. Melissa realized that opening up the franchise wasn’t about expanding Crystal Blue, but was solely about taking her away from Josias.”“And what did Kelvin say in his defense?” Diane asks.Maggie shakes her head, “There was no defense. Melissa left and took refuge at Rocha Mansion with the clothes on her back and without the twins.”Bernardo and Diane are stunned.“WHAT?” Diane barks, “So she r
Building My Life Chapter 2307 United Campos
Melissa was walking around the garden, admiring the peonies and azaleas. Alan was beside her, talking about the property.They stop by the spot where Josias and Katherine’s wedding was held.“I miss J.J., Mom.” Alan suddenly has a shaky voice, “He wasn’t supposed to die.”“No, son, it was never the case that he died, not even Kate, however much we hated her.” Melissa apologizes.Alan shakes his head, “You didn’t hate Kate, Mom. Those are things that Daryl and Kelvin put in your head. Before 1999, you never had any clashes with her. And if it were true that Kate was having an affair with Mr. Guzman, you wouldn’t have participated in this far-fetched plan.”“Yes, you’re right, I failed that part.” Melissa feels guilty, “That’s why I don’t understand why your father still wants me.”“I think deep down, the love he feels for you hasn’t died yet.” Alan smiles slightly, “And I feel like I can tell the same for you.”“Yes, you can say.” Melissa nods.She turns away and is amazed at what she
Building My Life Chapter 2308 If Daryl Is a Real Man…
Nadia enters Café Montanha with the sole objective of dating Rodrigo. But he is very preoccupied at the counter as he takes care of the establishment. The clientele is enjoying the coffee and snack options. The radio plays The Darkness’ song “I Believe in a Thing Called Love”.“Hello, my dear!” Nadia tries to hug and kiss Rodrigo.“Honey, today I ain’t in the mood.” Rodrigo dodges.Nadia smirks, “Manly men like you are always in the mood. Don’t you remember how we spent New Year’s Eve in your apartment?”Rodrigo blushes to the roots of his hair, afraid that the customers have heard, “Schi! Calm down, dear. I am going through a serious moment.”“And can you tell me what matter it is?” Nadia sits on the stool, “I’m your girlfriend. I’m here to help.”“Well, since you insist...” Rodrigo prepares a cappuccino for her, “Melissa is in town. But don’t tell everyone!”Nadia lowers her voice, “Rod, is Melissa your cousin, married to Kelvin, the ex-wife of Josias Rocha?”“It’s her. Apparently,
Building My Life Chapter 2309 Melissa States Her Terms
At Rocha Mansion, Daryl is waiting in the main living room, sitting on the couch because of his foot. He has a mysterious smile, thinking that he will convince Melissa to return to her husband.Daryl can barely hide his surprise when he sees Simeon enter the living room instead of Melissa.He’s torn between sitting still or getting up and running, “Ehr... Mr. Campos? I was hoping to speak with Melissa.”“What the hell, what right do you have to talk to my daughter?” Simeon blusters, “GET OUT of here, before Josias returns and starts the ethical cleanup here!”“What are you talking about?” Daryl is startled.“Do you want to bring about the extinction of the Mountain family here?” Simeon asks with his arms crossed.“No, and I doubt he could pull off such a feat without drawing the attention of the authorities,” Daryl responds confidently.“No one will miss you if Josias buries you alive in the beach sand.” Simeon asserts, “Now get out of here because you won’t talk to my daughter. How d

Chapter 3237 Mary’s Quinceañera (1)
That evening, the Rocha Events Hall was elegantly lit, and the soft sound of a waltz floated through the air.It was a joint celebration for Ignacio and Mary Campos Mountain. But more than just a birthday party, it marked Mary’s fifteenth birthday — her quinceañera.Because of that, the entire hall had been reserved for this important and unforgettable occasion.At the center of it all, Mary danced gracefully in a flowing, elegant pink gown that made her look like a miniature bride. Her dance partner, a close friend of sixteen, guided her with surprising poise.Around them, seven other couples glided across the floor, including Ignacio, who partnered with a girl from a well-known family. Henrique, as the cousin of the twins, also had his partner following the waltz.From the sidelines, Kelvin and Karen watched the scene with quiet pride, while Melissa and Josias — especially Melissa, mother of the birthday twins — took in the moment with emotion.“Look at your daughter,” Josias whispe
Chapter 3236 Support Your Wife
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
Chapter 3235 I Don’t Want Cursed Money
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
Chapter 3234 The Girlfriend Showed Up
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
Chapter 3233 A Surprising Report
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
Chapter 3232 The Detective I Trust
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
Chapter 3230 The Lady of Lagoon City Makes a Powerful Speech
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,”
Chapter 3229 Despair at the General Hospital
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,
