Elisa is shocked and disgusted when Melissa directly accuses Marcelo of sleeping with Stacy.
"What are you talking about, my friend?" She questions her face red with anger, "You asked as if that were confirmed true!"
"Isn't it then?" Melissa remains calm.
"Of course not! That would never happen among the Bento family. We are people of honor and decency!"
"Elisa, it wouldn't be the first time a man has had an extra feeling for a committed woman. The problem is wanting to turn the feeling into actions."
Elisa shakes her head strongly, "No, that's impossible!"
"So, I must rest assured that nothing is happening to hurt my dear little brother?"
"I swear to you, Melissa!" Elisa responds in a shaky voice, it looks like she's going to cry, "I'm eternally grateful that your husband has saved me from Jeremiah's clutches. My family has him in great esteem. It would be a very serious offense for Marcelo to commit this ignominy. I'll talk to him!"
Stacy is annoyed when she sees Adrian and Vera at Crystal Blue, but this time she decides not to attract attention and serves them professionally."What do you want, Vera?""I think I'll try this grilled salmon with vegetables. It's a light dish, I need to keep in shape.""You definitely don't look fat to me." Adrian flirts with a slight smile.Stacy rolls her eyes and takes the orders. Then she withdraws."This waitress apparently hasn't married Melissa's brother yet." Adrian comments."Will there still be a marriage? He lost the soccer match and Happiness Slum's team was knocked out of the league. Shame on them, my father must have turned over in his coffin of revolt."Adrian puts one of his hands in Vera's, "You must still be grieving for your loss."Vera sighs emotionally, "To think that I was the last person to talk to him and that our last conversation was a heated argument makes me depressed, Adrian. And now I have one m
Adrian and Vera were leaving Crystal Blue without suspecting that Josias and Moacyr were heading in the same direction."Think about it, Vera." Adrian insists, "You don't deserve to be an inmate's wife. Especially when he's the one dying to divorce you.""So, do you forgive me for using you in my plan to have my first time?" Vera asks with a pathetic smile.Adrian clears his throat, "Well, how about we start over from scratch and take it easy? I'm not going to lie that I didn't enjoy our hot night of lovemaking... I just didn't expect to be part of a web of lies."Vera nods, "OK, if you still have the same phone, we can talk more calmly. Gotta go, bye!"Adrian gives Vera a light kiss on the cheek, showing no commitment. Vera hurries back to the supermarket.***Elisa enters the restaurant and finds Stacy from afar serving clients, probably businessmen, because the impeccable suit doesn't let her think of another type of man. The busin
Moacyr feels a pang in his heart when Josias says coldly that Adrian will be transferred to Victoria. He decides to plead for his son."Are you sure about that, son? You know, I wanted to take advantage of the fact that we're here to talk about this."Josias raises his eyebrows, "Do you have something against it?"Moacyr quivers in his chair, "You know how it is: I'm a grumpy, lonely father. I wouldn't feel good being away from my son.""You are not a curmudgeon, Seu Moacyr," Josias responds between giggles."Anyway, can you make an exception and leave my poor son in Lagoon City?"Josias sighs. He was looking to get rid of Adrian as soon as possible. "OK, I can leave him here. As long as he leaves me alone and stops flirting with my wife...""Has he been doing this lately?"Only then did Josias stop to reason and realize that the answer was no. It had been a long time since he had dealt with Adrian, and Melissa had by now forgo
A few more weeks pass. Josias and Melissa are enjoying Sunday chatting on the balcony. The radio was placed on a small table and the song "Something About you", by Level 42, livens up the atmosphere.They are sitting on sun loungers and enjoying the view of the city in sunglasses, beachwear, and glasses of orange juice."Wow, it's hot today!" Josias complains and takes off his shirt, making Melissa drool over her husband's muscular body."Did you need to take your shirt off in that sexy way?" Melissa asks giggling in excitement.Josias turns to his beloved wife, "When I lived here alone, I used to be—"Before Josias scandalizes his wife, Flávia appears and also feels a pleasant shock to see the shirtless boss.Melissa stares at her, "Any message, Flavia?"Flávia shakes her head, "Josias, call for you. Vernon Queiroz."Josias promptly gets up, "Is the biography ready?" He leaves.Flávia sits on
Stacy and William are on the beach. But, this isn't the first time they've been there. They've been gone since Stacy's last demand on Happiness Slum.The couple is parading through the still deserted streets of Sunset Village, seeing some mansions under construction. Stacy marvels at the prospect of being one of the residents."Imagine, darling, when you become more famous than you already are and sign billionaire contracts... oh, I hope there's still free land for us to build our mansion!"William purses his lips, "Are you still thinking about living here, honey? I told you that here still needs basic infrastructure for me to START THINKING about moving here. No police station, no chances. Bandits and kidnappers will come in a band here.""Oh Will, don't be so negative.""I'm being realistic." William wraps his arm around Stacy's waist. She is wearing linen shorts and a bikini top, while William is only in his swim trunks.If William is bei
Moacyr visits Adrian only to find his son in a dress shirt and jeans, putting on woody perfume to go out."Oh, I was late today!" Moacyr jokes, "May I ask where you are going or was I being too nosy for you?"Adrian turns to his dad and smiles, "Of course not, dad. You deserve to know how my life is going."Moacyr sits on the sofa. "So, new girl?"Adrian is reluctant for a few seconds to respond, ironically after saying that Moacyr deserves to know everything. "Ehr... no, you already know her."Moacyr frowns, "Adrian, did you have the courage to make a date with Melissa Rocha?"Adrian relaxes and bursts out laughing, "Oh Dad, that would be a dream come true! But, no, I haven't had that privilege yet."Moacyr is annoyed and wipes an imaginary sweat, "Dear son, for God's sake... take away that crazy idea you've had since 1982..."Adrian, enraptured with passion, sits down beside his father and puts a hand on his shoulder, "Write
When Dora returns home, she finds Simeon and William each lying on a couch, watching a football match, shirtless, wearing only shorts. Dora smiles at the sight of father and son in an intimate moment."It's hard to know which one is my husband!" Dora jokes.Simeon gets up and sensually hugs his wife, "Shall we go to our room so I can remind you who your husband is?""Honey, look at our son here!" Dora turns purple with embarrassment, but Simeon hugs her and doesn't let go.William understands that his parents are about to make love and gestures to them, "Don't stop with me!""Hold on guys, we need to talk!" Dora tries to free herself from her husband, but it seems his arms are glued on, "Honey, I'm going to Adolfo's house.""Then let's say goodbye!" A horny Simeon whispers in her ear."It's serious, Mirtes is about to kill my brother and I won't allow it." Dora frowns.William shares his mother's concern, "I always saw Aunt Mir
Vera and Adrian wake up happy after behaving like residents of Sodom and Gomorrah."So, Vera?" Adrian asks smiling, hands behind his head, "Have you stopped the nonsense of staying married to Wallace? You'll never be alone.""If you had any past with Pamela I would even marry you," Vera responds by looking at the ceiling.Adrian purses his lips. "I'm glad I not had. I dated Carmen, and she told me every shocking thing… Carmen was still a virgin when Pamela was already a mother."Vera turns to him, "What about you, Adrian? Have you forgiven me yet?"Adrian turns to her, the two face each other seriously.Adrian responds, "If you hadn't used me in a nonsensical plan that had everything to go wrong, we would be married by now.""That means you still haven't forgiven me." Vera gets up from the bed, she is in her underwear. She leans down and picks up her shirt to put it on, "And if you don't even want to be my lover, then I have no
