Octavio woke up in his bed. As he stretched, his left arm didn’t touch his dear wife Jane’s body. This meant for him that Jane was already working early at the Rocha Hotel as the current manager. He smiled contentedly, seeing how Jane was making the most of her new job.Augusto entered his father’s room, going straight to him, shaking him. “Dad, I need to go to school!”“Calm down, son!” Octavio yawned. “Let me get up first... and you’re stepping on your dad’s underwear.”Augusto noticed when he looked down and walked away. Smiling, Octavio took the piece of clothing and got dressed under the blankets.Father and son went to the kitchen thinking about what they would make for breakfast. However, they had a surprising vision of Jane still at the table, casually eating breakfast and not finishing getting ready.“JANE?” Octavio exclaimed. “What are you still doing here?”Jane turned to her husband. “And why are you wearing boxers in front of our son?”“I asked first.” Octavio checks the

But in reality, they’re just accompanying Sofia as she tries on dresses for the big wedding.Olivia glanced at the ladies from time to time, feeling the uneasiness among them, and purposely ordered Sofia to try on or remove dresses that were already perfect.“Hmm... I don’t know, daughter. That other one with a cleavage on the bust looked prettier.”“Mom, come on, this one is perfect!” Not even Sofia could bear changing so many dresses.The saleswoman, however, was always helpful because she knew who the customer was. “Miss Vasquez, if you want, we can change and try something else. We’re here at your disposal.”“Thank you, dear,” Olivia said as she almost pushed Sofia into the dressing room.Rosemary wasn’t one to keep quiet and took the opportunity to say, “Mrs. Vasquez, I believe you can stop torturing us all. The choice of dress is the bride’s.”Olivia turned around, surprised t

William went down carefully so as not to trip and fall down the stairs. He opened the gate, curious about what Flávia wanted.“Cousin, my son still lives in his house.” Caio joked, letting her enter.Flávia remained serious. “I thought you would take the opportunity to move near him.”“No... my son is going to marry Brigitte and I would get in the way,” William commented with a satisfied smile. “The second bedroom must be for their son.”“Will, you could let Caio live here with Brigitte while you’d live in the other house, on the ground floor, for your safety.” Flávia looked at the stairs. “So many years in which you went up and down these stairs, at the risk of falling...”William smiled like a teenager. “OK, I guess I need to know what you’re all worried about.”Flávia chose a chair and sat down, looking at her cousin casually. “Do I need to explain myself?”William pulls out another chair and sits very close to her. “I don’t think so. I understand you very well.”Flávia lowered her
Building My Life Chapter 2680 Confessing How She Felt Since 1986
At Pizzeria Campos, William was very surprised to hear from Flávia that she was in love with him in the 80s.“Flávia... I’m here blaming myself and criticizing myself for being interested in you even though you’re my cousin, and you confess to me that you felt the same way since we were young?”“I know it sounds crazy, Will, but it’s the truth!” Flávia exclaimed passionately. “I always thought you were hot. You’re still! Even with your bad leg, even though you stopped playing soccer, even though you gained weight... you didn’t let it affect you. You started exercising again, you had a virile and attractive body again... you knew how to raise your son alone, without the evil influence of that Pamela... how could I not feel attracted to you, William Campos?”William smiled when he was praised like that. “It’s been a long time since someone talked about me like that.”“That’s because you’ve been doing a lot of nonsense,” Flávia responds between giggles. “Being an enemy of Josias wasn’t a

At the Lagoon City police station, Amoreira was calmly reading the latest issue of Maggiezine when noises in the hallway took his attention. Angry voices approached.Amoreira felt that the nervous people were going to enter his office and he stood up. He got it right; the door opened abruptly and some rookie police officers shoved Karen inside.“You’re the celebrity police.” One of the newbies said, “So take care of this crazy girl.”“Actually, I’m a detective, but—” The inexperienced police officers closed the door in Amoreira’s face.Sighing, Amoreira turned to Karen who was snorting like a bitch. “Good afternoon, Miss! Why did they throw you into my office? I was reading the summary of the soaps...”“Well then, I won’t bother you with your manly reading!” Karen got up intending to run away.But Amoreira blocked her, placing himself in front of the door. “Ah-Ah! Nothing like that, miss! Now I’m detaining you for contempt of authority.”“WHAT?” Karen doesn’t realize the danger of yel
Building My Life Chapter 2682 Confusion in Lagoon City PD
Kelvin showed up at the Lagoon City police station.“Excuse me, I need to report a missing person.”“Has it been twenty-four hours, sir?” The police officer who put Karen in Amoreira’s office is now the one who works at the front desk.“No, but she is the wife of João Paulo Rocha Queiroz. You don’t want her to appear dead floating in the river when you should’ve done something to prevent it, right?” Kelvin spoke with a smile, but the words were too threatening for the rookie.He got his legs shaking and got up. “Ehr... detective Amoreira is interrogating a lady vandal accused of having caused the biggest scandal in Ibrahim Square—”Kelvin opened his eyes wide and used the brain he has. “Scandal in Ibrahim Square? It probably has something to do with it! Helen Queiroz was last seen in the square!”“OK, follow me, sir...”“Kelvin Mountain.”The police officer promised to follow in Amoreira’s footsteps and read Maggiezine so as not to be rude to the celebrities who appear at the police s

Everyone enters Adelaide’s office to check on the call she received from Damascene Lawyers.As she picked up the mouthpiece, Josias got the idea. “Isn’t it Brigitte calling?”Adelaide smiles hopefully and answers the call. “Hello?”On the other side, Brigitte was calling on her cell phone. Helen was next to her, drinking passion fruit tea. “Hello, Addie. This is Brigitte.”“Brigitte, thank God! Mr. Rocha guessed it was you.” Adelaide sighed in relief. “We’re concerned about the whereabouts of Helen Queiroz.”“She’s here with me, wanting to sue this so-and-so named Karen,” Brigitte explained. “She is very upset and a nervous wreck.”“Her husband is here.” Adelaide puts her hand on the mouthpiece. “Helen is at Damascene Lawyers.”“Thank God!” João Paulo wipes the sweat from his forehead.“She wants to sue Karen.” Adelaide returns to the call, “Brigitte, can you explain to me what happened?”“I’ll summarize the story: Karen appeared at the sales stand in Ibrahim Square, insulted Helen, s

João Paulo and Helen return home together at night. Sandra was on the couch watching cartoons.“Mommy, Daddy! You’re here!”“Good, daughter. Fortunately.” Helen went to the sofa and hugged Sandra tightly.“What is it, Mommy?”“No big deal, daughter. Mom missed you.” Helen continued hugging Sandra.“OK. When I finish watching the cartoon, I’m going upstairs to take a shower. Do we have dinner?”João Paulo gives the idea, “Let’s order pizza at Pizzeria Campos, what do you think?”“YAY!” Sandra gets up from the sofa and runs to João Paulo, hugging him. “Thanks, Dad!”“Anytime, daughter. Now go up the stairs, no running, and go take your shower.”“OK!” Sandra obeyed. The cartoon wasn’t finished yet, but the desire to eat pizza spoke louder.Helen took advantage and grabbed the remote control, turning off the TV. João Paulo sat next to her.“I didn’t want to ask you during the ride.” João Paulo wrapped his arm around his wife. “Do you really intend to sue her?”“I want you to write the mos

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

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,
