Melissa did not want to divert the subject to the failure of Josias and her meeting, but Jenny was very curious and intended to make a connection.
So, she told everything that happened, from the moment Pamela appeared inside the house and told Josias's 'plan' and Simeão's revolt.
“Pamela visited Josias at the construction site.” Jenny recapitulates the events, “And today she says that. A friend of his comes and makes a joke, indirectly confirming your father's fear.”
“I still feel like there's something wrong.” Melissa crosses her arms and sits on the bed.
Jenny sits down next to her. “I understand. But your father forbade you to see the bricklayer assistant, and tomorrow Fabrício will come. Don't you want to enjoy and forget all this madness? Going to see Fabrício can make up for the loss of Josias a lot.”
Melissa is not convinced either now or ever. Loss of Josias? Melissa didn'
Pamela cannot tell her family what happened, because to do that she would have to confess that everything started from a plan she drew up: to make Fabrício and Melissa marry so she could be with Josias.When the parents learn that it was she who involved Fabrício in the story, they will blame her and refuse to offer any help.In a way, lying on her bed in her room, after finally taking a shower and bandaging her wounds, Pamela concluded that she was really to blame for everything.Fabrício and others were invited by her older sister, Pamela didn't even know them well. Who told Pamela to play with fire?Who told Pamela to involve a boy she didn't even know? Her blindness in removing Melissa from Josias was such that she was not even able to check first who Fabrício was.If she knew he was that manic and possessive, she sure as hell wouldn't throw Melissa at him.Now he wants Melissa, and Pamela knows very well that
Josias and Teodoro are frightened, as they did not expect anyone to be spying on the conversation. Josias is more irritated when he sees that it was Jeremiah who had dared to laugh at something he had said.“What's so funny like that?” Josias swallows a piece of bread that he is chewing and gets up from his chair.“You, saying you're still a virgin!” Jeremiah holds his hands on his stomach; it is hurting so much that he squirms with laughter.“Jeremiah, stop being annoying!” Teodoro orders, “The boy is still eighteen, he is still young.”Jeremiah holds back the laughter a little and concludes, “With eighteen years I already had plenty of experience. Josias is late! Then he talks about my father; his father must not have taught him to be a real man!”Teodoro grabs Josias's arm, preventing the boy from leaving on top of Jeremiah. Josias regarded the tenant with hatred. Jeremiah felt victorio
No one understood what Pamela's purpose was to look all pretty and stunning for a simple Sunday lunch. However, there she was; all diva and imposing, as if the lunch was in honor of her.Melissa, however, smiles when she sees her friend so well with life. She was crying profusely yesterday and appeared to be in depression. The storm passed.But when Pamela defiantly looks at Fabrício, she feels that the storm is about to start.“Well, it looks like they're all here, right?” Simeão asks.“Jenny is missing,” Melissa remembers.While Jenny isn't coming, everyone heads to the kitchen, where lunch is being set at the table.Pamela makes a point of walking in front of Fabrício and sensually shaking her hips.Fabrício realizes that Pamela is provoking and challenging him. He is eager to ease his animalistic desires with Pamela but needs to pretend that he is in love with Melissa.How
The voices Josias had heard from the kitchen were Pamela and Fabrício. He had never heard Fabrício's voice before, but he deduced that it was him because of the different male voice and the fact that he thanked her.Fabrício had managed to have this intimacy with the Campos family so soon. If he is having lunch with his family, it is because Simeão Campos allowed it.And if they are talking about marriage, it is because Fabrício intends or has already asked permission from Simeão to date Melissa.Disappointment hit Josias in the face; he felt the heaviness in his heart and a lump in his throat.Uélton notices his friend's dispirited reaction and disagrees with what he sees. “Hey, what is this face?”“Face of someone who knows he has been defeated,” Josias responds in a discouraging tone.“Who said you were defeated?” Uélton smirks, having an idea, &ld
Pamela frowns. Fabrício wants to try to act as the domineering macho over her again. But Pamela is no longer afraid of him. On the contrary, with every minute that passes by, she feels hatred and disgust for Fabrício and is weaving in her mind some strategy to take revenge.Fabrício will pay for what he did to her.Without Melissa noticing (she is talking to Dora about Josias), she leaves the house and talks to Fabrício on the street.“What do you want now?”Fabrício looks at Pamela's body, well highlighted with her sensual dress. His eyes look like a knife stabbing at her body.However, Pamela slaps Fabrício to get him out of the trance. She will no longer allow Fabrício to covet her body. Add the fact that they are in front of the Campos family home, one of them can catch them.“Stop looking at my boobs and say what you want right away!” Pamela hisses the words.<
"Melissa, you don't have to worry." Pamela smiles, maybe too much, "Nothing much has happened."Melissa snorts and turns to the dishes, while Pamela keeps what she dropped."William said he saw you lying on the street, crying for minutes, instead of you getting up and going home right away." Melissa insists, "In other words, you didn't cry for the fall, something else was happening and you couldn't take it anymore."Pamela holds the next dish too tightly. Damn, why did William need to be so curious?The memory of William shirtless and in white shorts sent shivering to Pamela’s spine again. Her best friend's younger brother has his appeal! He's so strong, muscular, and he looks like a man already!"Pamela, are you listening to me?" Melissa cries out.Pamela almost drops the third dish. There was no way; Pamela needed to leave before she finished with Dora's entire porcelain collection. It is the only valuable thing that the Campos famil
Pamela needed at all costs to prevent Melissa from coming to the logical conclusion, that she was doing everything in her power to keep her away from Josias.So Pamela gets up, approaches her best friend, and takes her hands. In an appealing tone of voice, she replies, trying to be convincing.“Melissa, I swear with all my heart: I was worried that Josias would harm you.”“So you confirm that you lied?” Melissa clings to that detail, “Didn't Josias tell you at the construction site that he wanted to take me to bed?”Pamela bites her lip. She didn't want to go back to what she said. “He said yes, dear.”“But, that's not like him!” Melissa lets go of Pamela's hands and walks around the room stomping her feet. She looked like a stubborn child.Pamela tries to soften the situation without admitting that she has been lying. “Melissa, I think when he said that, he was not serious. Y
Teodoro remembered that the name of the girl Josias is trying to date and marry was Melissa. Was this gentleman her father? Was it time for the father-in-law conversation?“Better that you wait here, I'll call him.” Teodoro walks away, not trusting him at all.For a few seconds, Teodoro thought that Simeão might be one of the henchmen of that moneylender who discovered Josias's whereabouts and came to kill him.Upon knocking on Josias's door, the boy opened almost immediately.“Forgive me for interrupting your nap.” Teodoro apologizes.“What nap?” Josias chuckles, “It's so hot today that I can't sleep. I'm going to ask you tomorrow to wash the sheets on the bed, they are sticky with sweat.”“You can leave it, my son. Now come on, someone is looking for you. Simeão Campos, claims to be the father of your girl.”“If the conversation is productive, she really
