Adrian falls to the white floor of his father's living room. Moacyr is left with mixed emotions: he supports Josias or helps his son.
Josias is frowning, his eyes almost red with rage, and remains in the attack position, as if he were in the ring. Why does this boring Adrian always have to mention Tony Rocha?
Moacyr finally decides to do both: support Josias and help his son. He reaches out and helps his son to get up while scolding him: "But, can't you at least leave the dead alone?"
"This fellow is already dead to me!" Adrian shouts menacingly, pointing his index finger at Josias.
Josias undoes the fight pose and responds courageously: "You seem to be one of those who only speak. I am not afraid of you. And before you speak of my company: our contract has ended, so don't involve them in it!"
"What do you mean, I can't involve you?" Adrian yells, "It's just now that I'm going to sue all of you, you savages! The other one wanted to hit me in the he
"It isn't just that, master." Tiago continues in a joking tone looking at Josias, "It is the chance for you to buy a piece of land and have the mansion you deserve."Josias, however, laughs so hard that he almost falls. "Tiago, stop it. How am I going to build a mansion? I would have to be the owner of Silva Constructions. That will be a privilege for Romualdo."Everyone looks at Romualdo and he clears his throat. "Well, guys, I really want to get out of Happiness Slum. It's a miracle that I haven't been mugged yet, as the company just grows and everyone knows that I am the majority owner.""Anyway, let's first think about our customers' homes." Josias draws everyone's attention back to the map. From what they see, is possible for City Hall to subdivide three new neighborhoods or two huge neighborhoods like those in Los Angeles."Ah, I order Saulo to sell our house in Saint Gabriel, but I'm going to live on the beach!" Elisa admires and her eyes shine, "I
Pamela gets irritated and clenches her fists, holding off the urge to slap Carmen. Although with so many slaps that Pamela has taken from her older sister, it would be an act of well-deserved revenge.But before the two sisters begin to attack each other as prisoners, there is a knock on the door. Pamela gets up and goes to answer it. It's Cristina, with dark glasses and a tacky hat."Mom, why are you wearing these clothes? And these glasses?" Pamela looks strange and closes the door."I saw in the soap, a character disguised herself in order not to be recognized." She pulls out a chair and sits down, "That landlord is all distracted solving crossword puzzles and listening to the radio that he didn't see me enter."Carmen and Pamela laugh out loud at Teodoro. Pamela turns on the radio and they listen to "It's Raining Man" by The Weather Sisters. The song fits like Pamela, and she imagines herself as in the song."Yes, Carmen, here at Seu Teodoro's
Saturday, William's graduation day. He's in the living room, trying to imitate Michael Jackson's footsteps, with "Billie Jean" playing on the radio. Caio is in a baby seat on the sofa, and the baby is laughing and clapping his hands, being entertained by his playful father."See, son? That's how you do it." William pretends that he is dancing with mastery; what matters is the child's fun.The door opens and Josias and Uélton are faced with the scene. Uélton frowns and says: "Another one who's trying to dance to this song? It's becoming a fever in Brazil.""Brazil and in the world, my comrade," Josias admits. He had already seen the music video on TV."Only the hair that doesn't match," Uélton points to William's hair."What can I do?" William responds with a smile, "My mom is watching the soap opera and says I look like Michael Damien."William's hairstyle matches the person he speaks to. He sits next to his son and tick
At the same high school where Melissa graduated, William's prom was now taking place. Couples of former students dancing to the sound of Hot Chocolat, "Started with a Kiss". Among them, William was very smiling and charming with his prom partner, an incredibly blonde and good-looking girl.William had told his family that Stacy was the smartest in the class and wore tacky clothes and glasses. Well, now she was without her glasses, in a cherry color dress, with makeup and hairstyle like the other girls, attracting the envy of the girls who were bullying her and attracting the boys' hatred towards William."This is my boy!" Simeon said with evident father's pride, "He chose the most beautiful girl in school!""Will he be awarded the prom king just like us, baby?" Melissa asked dreamily."It will be the tradition of the Campos family." Josias jokes.The same director from when Melissa was a student, now with gray hair, steps onto the small stage and i
The graduation party turned into a wrestling camp when Stacy and Magdalene started fighting over the crown and offenses at the first girl. Magdalene tried to return the slap, but Stacy held her hand and the two stayed like that for a long time, pushing each other, until Stacy managed to free herself and deliver another slap at Magdalene.The envious girl became unbalanced and ended up falling to the ground in a vexing way. All the students around them laughed ruthlessly as Stacy took the crown from the floor and replaced it on top of her head."Don't mess with the queen!" She speaks in a confident and firm tone. The other students applaud.The principal gestures for the doorman to continue with the music, to see if it changes the chaotic atmosphere of the party. The doorman chooses "Gloria", by Laura Braginan, and students who are already electric and excited about the fight begin to dance."Come on Will, let's dance this one!" Stacy pulls William by the
Wallace is getting dressed for the Sunday worship service. He puts on his trousers and passes the belt through the waistband. As he opens his wardrobe and picks up a shirt, he notices an undisguised stain of earth on his white linen shirt."Honey, did you put a dirty shirt in the wardrobe along with the clean ones? And what is that stain? Is this dirt?"Pamela has her back to Wallace sweeping the floor. She opens her eyes wide and stops sweeping in the act, remembering that she was embarrassed to see Beto's nice body yesterday."I accidentally dropped some pieces." She turns to him with a forced smile, "I must have put it in the wardrobe without realizing it. Leave it there and I'll wash it again.""Pay more attention, dear." Wallace smiles sweetly, "It's not good to do the job twice."And Wallace looks for another shirt to wear. Pamela runs and grabs his dirty shirt as if it's proof that she was all lustful for Beto.In the Church, Wallace
Weeks go by. At Silva Constructions' office, Romualdo, Josias, and Tiago are in the majority partner's room. Romualdo is wearing a gray double-breasted suit with two buttons and a sober tie. Josias and Tiago hardly believe that this old man wore a cement-stained shirt and jeans in the buildings."The rumor is no longer a rumor, guys." Romualdo starts the meeting, "Yes, the City intends to make the coastal strip of our city habitable. At the moment they are going to open a new neighborhood called Sunset Village, aimed at the upper class. There is a demand for residents of this type in our city.""And when these high society residents come across our construction company..." Tiago barely manages to finish his sentence, wondering how much money he will earn."However, my fellows," Romualdo continues to speak seriously, "We cannot be negligent with these clients. Tiago, we will need a legal sector for our company, in case we find a client as problematic as Adrian Ba
Josias is at the supermarket doing some shopping for the office. He is on the shelves of the coffee and tea brands, undecided on which brand to choose when a guy his age is going the other way pushing a shopping cart. The man wore glasses and had black hair; his white skin was sunburned. The boy adjusts his glasses when he sees who he was and approaches."Josias? Josias Rocha?"Josias shakes his head looking for whoever called him, and when he finds the boy, he smiles in recognition: "Octavio Motta!"The two are close and Octavio reaches out to Josias to greet him. Both are grinning.Octavio asks curiously: "Dude, how are you? We haven't seen each other since—""Since my father was murdered and I ran away from Rainbow Garden, I know." Josias adds, already intending to change the subject, "And you, how are you doing?"Octavio notices the change of subject and does not want to force Josias. He just kept smiling and replied: "I'm fine, st
