Josias and Melissa are having dinner. She cooked beef in the pressure cooker and made a sauce with mushrooms. Rice and vegetables complement the dish. Caio was in the living room watching a children's tv program.
Melissa breaks the silence: "What's your mother's name?"
"Elza. Now she bears the surname Queiroz." Josias responds bitterly.
"You never got a chance to talk about what happened, right?" Melissa tries to understand the situation carefully.
"No. I was about ten years old when she got tired of my dad's idle life and left us. She was so mad she didn't want to fight for my custody. So I never heard from her again. If she heard about our marriage, it's because she wasn't that far away."
"Does she intend to go back to town? What do you think she wants?"
Josias has a grim expression. "If she thinks she's going to enjoy our wealth, she's sorely mistaken!"

Teodoro complains like a drunk, "You cheated by announcing this bad news.""Don't you want to meet your little granddaughter?" Beto teases him.Teodoro leans forward and slaps his son. "Shut your mouth! My grandson will be someone genuinely begotten by you in a god-approved marriage!"Beto just caresses the burning cheek. Did everyone decide to slap him? "I don't know if God will approve, but I'm going to have to marry Pamela."Again, Beto lowers his head to pick up the cards and doesn't see Teodoro making a horrible face as he puts his hand on his chest, on the side of his heart.

William looks at the elegant, covered sofas and is reluctant to sit on them in his worn, cement-stained jeans."I'll stay standing." He smiles, "I came here to leave you a message from Raymond Chaves."Melissa purses her lips. That means Raymond will talk about Pamela. "How does that family still remember me?""They remembered when they saw me back in our old house." William jokes."What was the message?" Melissa sits like a diva."Mr. Chaves asks you to try to get closer to Pamela." William tells her, "He's sure that when the two of you were friends, you were the one who put sense into Pamela's head. He attests that since you girls fought, she's gone from bad to worse."Melissa feels praised, smiles slightly. "That's true. She came to you and you fathered Caio, you left soccer without telling us the

Josias and Elza continue to talk in the penthouse living room. He has already told in detail how his father died and how he managed to escape."So how's your husband doing?" Josias asks."He's alive, that's what matters." Elza replies by pursing her lips, "Your father would be 50 now if he had the wits.""Mother, are you still not over?" Josias asks angrily. If she only knew what he faced concerning this matter..."How will I get over it?" Elza becomes dramatic, "I could be present the day they murdered him, they could rape me... Glad you got away. That's what makes me furious the most, knowing Tony left you exposed to this danger... Instead of him finding honest employment, he preferred to borrow money from a pawnbroker! I often thought of the mistake of leaving you behind, but I took comfort in thinking that Tony was taking better care of you."Josias doesn't know if he immediately believes his mother's words.
