But as the saying goes: After the storm comes the calm. Pamela is anxiously in the lobby of the building, waiting for Carmen. She said she was on her way down. Did the elevator break down with Carmen inside?
Rosemary starts to cry and Pamela is embarrassed. "Calm down, daughter, Mom will feed you after she quickly talks to your Aunt Carmen."
Then, Tiago and Igor appear in the lobby. The two find Pamela and get surprised.
"Pamela?" Tiago asks, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm the one who asks." Pamela asks him, "Shouldn't you guys go through the private parking lot?"
"Our car is in repair," Igor explains feeling ashamed. Igor thought rich people's cars never break down.
"I'm waiting for Carmen, I need to talk to her on an urgent matter, but I've been banned from entering since 1983!" Pamela glares at the receptionists, they are the same ones who stopped her when Silva Constructions had just moved into the building.
Tiago, all cold and d
The month of September has arrived. Wallace is drinking coffee sitting on the couch, ironically listening to Culture Club's song "Mistake #3." Does the marriage with Vera enter the list of mistakes?Someone knocks on the door. He gets up and answers: it's his family."Hello, dear!" Isabel greets him, "We came to see if everything is ready for tomorrow.""Hey, guys, come in." Wallace opens up space.Uélton soon notices the radio. "Oh, bro, you always listen to these sad songs.""Want a coffee?" Wallace offers."You can let us help ourselves." Isabel goes to the kitchen.Uélton follows his mother, craving coffee. Harold sits down on the sofa."So what, son? Have you really decided this is what you want?"Wallace sits beside his father. "Why these last few weeks has everyone decided to take a step back from my marriage?"Harold smiles slightly. "It's not like that. It's just that before you were going t
Josias, Romualdo, and Tiago enter the lobby of the hotel where they are staying. It's a hot day, so they stop at the entrance and take a deep breath, wiping the sweat off their foreheads. The three wore a suit and tie for the occasion, but Tiago quickly takes his off. His long-sleeved dress shirt was soaked with sweat, especially in his armpits."Jeez, it doesn't even look like I showered before I left." Tiago jokes."Let's go to the counter, I want to see if they left a message," Josias asks urgently.Something inside him said that Melissa could give birth during his trip. He even tried to stay in Lagoon City, but Romualdo was very insistent in wanting the Chief of Engineering's presence."Any message for Josias Rocha, miss?"The receptionist smiles at Josias and holds out a note in the paper. "Congratulations sir. They called from Lagoon City to announce that your wife has gone to the hospital to have the baby."Josias takes the paper and
Simeon approaches his son-in-law and pats his shoulder. "I'm glad you got the message. Everything worked out, dear son-in-law! Your wife gave you a wonderful baby!"Josias feels watery eyes. "I hope my son doesn't hate me for not being there."Elza quickly corrects him: "No, son, don't think that way! You won't be absentee like Tony Rocha. You came running here as soon as you heard, that's what matters."The obstetrician leaves the room taking off his mask, happy to bring another baby into the world."Doctor, I am the child's father." Josias addresses him. "I can see him?""Yes you can, but the nurses are in the process of cutting the umbilical cord and giving it a bath to clean him." The obstetrician responds, "Enjoy it while your wife is still awake, we will give her something to rest."Josias enters the room. In fact, the nurses have already cut the umbilical cord and are in a corner gently cleaning the baby, who manifests from time to ti
Josias takes the glass of water and drinks. Flávia delights in the way Josias drinks water, taking the glass with a serious and sexy look, slowly raising the glass to his mouth and his Adam's apple rising and falling as he swallows the sips.Flávia forgets that she wandered the entire hospital looking for him on behalf of Elza.Uélton approaches, thinking that Flávia is excited to see him. "Hello, maid! I didn't know you were missing me!"Flavia wakes up from the dream where she was naked in the bed of the master suite being possessed by Josias while Melissa was away at some charity event with the boring Elza and Elisa. "Huh? Oh, it's you, you annoying."Josias quenches his thirst and hands the plastic cup back. "Thank you, Flavia. Why did you keep the uniform?""Elisa made me," Flavia growls."You're funny. When you should wear the uniform, you wear a baby-doll; when you should wear regular clothes, you wear the
On Sunday, Pamela was comfortably watching television sitting upside down on the sofa, still in her socks and warm clothes, as the night was cold. Beto approaches and sits beside her giving her a blanket."Aren't you going to your sister's wedding?" Pamela dares to ask."You know damn well I don't agree to this marriage, dear." Beto leans against her, putting his left arm around her, "Rosemary is sleeping.""Although I hate Vera, I think you should go. She'll think I influenced you."Beto kisses his wife's forehead. "Let her say what she wants. I've already demonstrated my opinion."Pamela is still unsure whether or not she will tell her husband what she found out about the plan. But something inside her stops her. Pamela is afraid to confirm that Beto is also part of the plan.It's because the coexistence as husband and wife has made Pamela increasingly fall in love with Beto and gradually forget about Wallace. She hasn't even been thinking
Wallace pretends he doesn't understand what's going on. He had invited Adrian to appear at the wedding just to tease Vera. And he got it; since Vera is paralyzed on the way out of the Church, allowing the rice to enter her open mouth.Adrian continues to face Vera with the greatest contempt in the universe. This scoundrel woman was scheduled to be married to his client and had decided to lose her virginity to another man!"Honey, shall we? The car is waiting for us." Wallace pulls Vera by the arm.The two of them had rented a car since Wallace didn't have his yet. Vera goes catatonic to her car and forgets to say goodbye to everyone.Harold approaches Isabel. "Do you understand what happened now?""She looks like she had a stroke stopped at the entrance." Isabel comments with a slightly mocking tone, "Her mouth dropped open and she swallowed a lot of raw rice."Wallace approaches, smiling, to say goodbye to his parents. "Mom, Dad, I'll call
Pamela is nursing Rosemary, but her face shows unease. Beto dusts off the bookshelf in the living room listening to "We Build This City" by Starship, but the song doesn't cheer his wife up."Is something bothering you, dear? Do you want me to turn the music down?"Pamela shakes her head. "No, love, just a weird feeling."Beto approaches her. "You're thinking about Wallace; if he's alright."Pamela smiles awkwardly. "Sounds crazy, doesn't it? He must be having his romantic moment with Vera and I'm here worried if he's having a bad time. Better stop thinking about it before you think I'm still in love with him."Beto sits down beside her. "But, you told me before we were married that you still are."Pamela looks at him honestly: "However, I'm feeling something for you too, Beto. A feeling is growing in my heart. Part of me says I should forget about the old loves that are having other wives and focus on the hunky hubby I have."Beto chu
The police showed up at the motel fifteen minutes later, the car screeching as it parked anyway. Violence against women is not an easy subject in Lagoon City.Even more so when it comes to a husband who thinks he has the right to force into his wife just because they are married!Vera is sitting on the couch in the motel lobby, drinking a glass of sugar water with trembling hands. The chambermaid is still beside her, terribly worried.The motel manager, a man in his forties, introduces himself to the deputy who appears to be in charge. "Officer, this way! This is the bride, she came in with her newlywed husband and we gave them the keys to room 54. They were happy and beaming. Suddenly we got a complaint from the couple in room 52, who heard screams and noises of aggression. When we went to check, the lady was already leaving the room, screaming for help and with a red face."The assistant police officer approaches Vera and checks the assault on her face.
