last update2023-11-27 21:22:15

At the Mountain Penthouse, Kelvin watched the sunset from the balcony, sitting on one of the loungers, shirtless, letting the light breeze caress his skin. He thought about his life...

Talking to Caroline and the twins, he couldn’t help but think about their mother... Melissa...

“Argh, I’m going crazy! Melissa loves Josias and she will never return to me. Game over, Kelvin.”

Kelvin shakes his head and continues to admire the cityscape.

Hearing the door open and close, he remains silent, not willing to vent his confused feelings to a rebellious Felipe.

Felipe approaches his uncle with a criminal smile. “Hi, Uncle Kelvin! What a beautiful horizon, don’t you think?”

“What did you do now, Felipe?”

“Jeez, what a lack of trust!” Felipe sits on the other lounge chair, “I had a little chat with Cláudio Guzman.”

“For Christ’s sake, Felipe!” Kelvin scolds him, “Don’t meddle in what’s none of your business! If I hear you’re acting like this, you’ll move closer to your parents, huh!”

How did you know it was me? I changed my number.”“Oh yes!” Josias laughs, “Just like every year. And I guess you’re also living in another city, am I right?”“Ehr... I moved to Linhares.” Everaldo is embarrassed.“Ha, ha, ha! Gotcha!” Josias has fun.“See, Josias?” Everaldo relaxes, “I’m not an angelic being as you think.

She is surprised that she has to ring the intercom.“My God, I didn’t know the situation was so serious.”When she entered the lobby, she felt strange with the radio turned off. Where’s the tradition?“Dad? Tess? Pete? Anybody home?”She decides to go straight to the apartment. When she opens the door...“SURPRISE!”Rosemary is so scared that she drops her bags. Everyone gets up from behind the sofa applauding and cheering at her return.Beto is the first to hug her, “Welcome back, daughter! How wonderful to have you here!”“Likewise, Daddy! I missed you so much!”Teresa is the next to hug her, “I hope you don’t leave anymore, Rose.”“I feel like my home is here, with my family and true friends.”Pedro is the next to appear.

How was this story resolved until last year?”Caroline sighs, “Rose, those two are still getting married this year.”“And what do you think about that?” Rosemary asks her.“I think this is absurd! Nothing will take my mind off the fact that the Vasquez family just wants our money. They may be able to manage their company for now, but if one day they have a financial setback, you can be sure that Alan will be the fool to pay for their debts.”“It would be the most natura

    At Rodrigo’s apartment, he and Nadia talk about what they can expect in the future.Nadia looks around, “The room you slept in could be your son’s room. He is the closest to ours.”“Yes, and we can install that baby monitor.” Rodrigo plans, “This way, we’ll hear his crying at dawn.”Nadia grimaces, “Urgh... This is the worst part. Waking up at dawn, being sleep deprived, giving bottles at three in the morning.”Rodrigo smiles naughtily, “We stayed up at three in the morning moaning and roaring with pleasure, making this baby. If we lost nights of sleep for pleasure, we can now lose nights of sleep for duty.”Nadia felt slapped by the Truth. “Ehr... You’re right, darling.”“Don’t worry, dear. I’ll share the tasks. I had a conversation with your father and I’ll probably have another with mine.” Rodrigo laughs.The doorbell rings. Nadia goes to answer, it’s Francisco.“Hello, Nadia. I came here to congratulate you. Isabel and Neilton are equally excited.”“Oh, Frank...” Nadia and Francis

Online access grew every moment. And her son Henrique showed a school trophy with pride.“Mom, where am I going to hang this trophy?” Henry asks.“We’ll leave it at home, on the bookshelf in the living room, for everyone to see.” Maggie smiled proudly.Adelaide enters her niece’s office, “Maggie... oh, Henrique was awarded.”“Hi, Aunt Addie!” Henrique boasts, “I won the school essay competition!”Adelaide stares at Maggie, “Hmm... That means the talent for writing runs in the family, huh? Do you intend to take over your father’s company?”“For sure. But my cousins Carol and Mary will take care of Maggiezine, yuck.” Henrique shakes himself. He doesn’t want to get involved with ‘women’s magazines’.Maggie and Adelaide burst into laughter.

And most importantly: a happy ending.”“My husband was killed by a car and my sister fell from the balcony of a penthouse!”“For that reason: the villains were punished and the protagonist was rewarded with true love.” Isabel points to Amoreira.Amoreira is embarrassed, “Mrs. Mountain, I don’t know if we want our lives exposed on TV.”Isabel pulls up a chair and sits next to the couple, excited as a cosmetics saleswoman, “Hey, I’m not thinking about using your real names or casting actors who look like you!

    The management door of the Rocha Hotel swung open. Suzy appeared, approaching a startled Eugenio, pale and stammering. “Uncle, what happened?” Eugenio covered the phone receiver and stared at his niece. “It s-seems t-that... I’m hearing the voice of Luís Vasquez!” Suzy snatched the receiver and immediately spoke, “LUÍS! Is that you, my friend?” On the other end, Luís smiled while in Daryl's office. “Yes, Suzy, I’m back in Brazil!” “Oh, Felipe answered my call! Did he send the ‘guys’ from the Bento family to look for you?” Suzy asked excitedly. Luís didn’t know about that but decided to confirm it to make Suzy happy. “That’s right, my dear. It seems my return to Brazil was necessary.” “Necessary and urgent! Everything is falling apart without you around!” Suzy exclaimed vehemently, “You need to get back to your supervisor position before David—” “Wait, I’ve already been informed about that file.” Luís took a deep breath. “I want to check with your uncle to see if I still have

    In the Mountain Penthouse, Luís learns everything that Daryl and William uncovered about his family, being shocked by the amount of corruption that existed years before he moved into the Vasquez Mansion. Daryl came from the kitchen with a platter of jawbreaker pie for everyone, but Luís hesitated in choosing a piece, dumbfounded. “This can’t be possible... how could my uncles have been capable of...?” “Do you understand now, Luís, why we want to expose them?” Daryl asks excitedly. “The blog that Will is maintaining doesn’t aspire to be a major media outlet: it’s just a way to get back at them.” “And my aunt continues to party at the club with younger guys without my uncle knowing?” Luís furrows his brow. Olivia always coveted him, but he wasn’t exclusive... “That’s right. Maybe he’ll find out...” William smiles diabolically, considering the possibility. “He should at least know about Aunt Olivia sleeping with Dr. Hogan. Maybe he encouraged her without knowing that Aunt already

    A few days had passed since David’s massacre. The news that he had been fiercely reprimanded by Josias didn’t make it into the Maggiezine, but it was a gossip that everyone had heard, spread by word of mouth. David hadn’t been seen during these days. At Crystal Blue, Eugenio was excitedly recounting the juicy details to his nephews. Felipe appeared from the office, and upon hearing the conversation, he stopped where he was. “So, Josias Rocha asks me to leave my office.” Eugenio’s eyes were shining. “That’s when I thought: ‘That’s it, David is screwed!’ Josias Rocha’s voice was so powerful that I felt the need to change my underwear!” “Ha, ha, ha...” Suzy burst into laughter. “Don’t exaggerate, Uncle!” “Maybe that’s exactly what happened, sis.” Jake also chuckled heartily. Felipe smiled with satisfaction. Josias had forgotten to aim the rifle at Daryl and had listened to his hint. With that, he returned to the office and closed the door, picking up his phone next.

    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.

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

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.

    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

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
