Here Comes the Lord Chapter 159 Mark Hears What They Want
Saturday. Mark and Briana woke up after cuddling, with the sun's rays streaming through the French window. They hadn't dared to get intimate because of Karl and Luana, though they had imagined they might take the opportunity to have some fun behind closed doors. "Good morning, darling. Shall we see if Luana survived?" Mark asked, jokingly. Briana lightly nudged him. "Don't be silly..." She got up and opened the curtains, bathing in the morning sunlight. Now this is life! When or how would she have moments like this in the Vasconcelos Mansion, married to one of Althea the Retrograde's candidates? Briana headed to the bathroom while Mark stretched. Afterward, he decided to grab his phone and check for any updates. An assistant of Luana's had sent an audio file. Mark grew serious, thinking that an audio file sent on a Saturday must be important. He leaned back against the headboard, putting on his headphones. The maid entered the master suite and saw her boss leaning against
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 160 Briana Has a Plan
When Mark came downstairs, he wasn't surprised at all to find only Karl at the table, being served by Julian. As if reading the cook's mind, Mark announced, "Julian, if you'd like, you can swim in the pool when you're off duty."On weekends, we usually don't need such an elaborate lunch. If we have guests, we'll let you know." "Th-thank you, Mr. Ferro!" Julian exclaimed, surprised. "Wow, I'd love to be your employee!" Karl joked. Mark sat down, wearing a casual shirt with two buttons undone and khaki shorts. "In a way, you are, my friend," Mark replied with a slight smile. "Luana and I discussed some projects up in the room. Thanks for the hospitality," Karl said as he served himself pancakes. Mark smiled from the corner of his mouth. "And I don't even need to ask why Luana hasn't come down yet, huh?" Karl gave the most lewd, depraved grin imaginable. "Hope I didn't scandalize anyone." "The walls are soundproof," Mark responded nonchalantly. Karl felt relieved to hear that.
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 161 An Inappropriate Conversation
Sandro furrows his brow when he hears Briana's unusual request. "Daughter, why do you want confidentiality for a request like this?" "I don't want anyone misinterpreting what I'm asking you," Briana promptly replies. "And why do you want James's cell number?" Sandro continues to be suspicious, looking around to check if Nadir is listening. "I need to talk to him. It's about the LCN projects." Briana avoids directly mentioning James's infidelity. Sandro sighs. "Daughter, if Katrina finds out about this, and nothing guarantees me that James WON'T tell her that you called, there will be another mess." Briana sits on the bed, smirking mischievously. "What's that supposed to mean? Does that mean family life at the mansion hasn't been easy and harmonious?"Oh, I thought Grandma Althea wanted me to return to the peace and happiness of the Vasconcelos family!" "Daughter..." "How nice is to know that this mansion hasn't stopped being a den of treacherous snakes!" Briana retorts sharply
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 162 Checking on the Beloved Wife
Mark stands up abruptly, boiling with uncontained rage. "What does this mean?" Mark explodes in indignation. "Why is my wife calling that worm? Did he call her?" "No, she called him." Regis scratches his neck, uncomfortable, having to pass this information. He was attending to his duties when an assistant from Linda passed this information to his phone. Mark, consumed with jealousy, couldn't think of a reason why his dear wife would call the rival. Without delay, he rushed upstairs to the master suite. Briana was still engrossed in the conversation. "What do you mean? You found out about that too?" "I'm worried about you, friend," James confessed. "Don't worry about me; worry about your wife's project," Briana replied sternly. Mark entered the master suite, expecting to find a friendly and flirty conversation. But the severe and angry tone of Briana made him pause and listen more closely. Briana continued, "And for Christ's sake, stop cheating on Katrina; otherwise, she's g
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 163 A Visitor with Ugly Teeth
James frowned, not understanding anything. "Why does someone want to talk to my wife? Who is he?""Adrian Curtis, but I've never seen someone looking so fat and with messed up teeth." The butler shook his head, utterly disgusted."I'm going to see what this crazy guy wants. I don't know where my wife is." James approached the door.Adrian, who was expecting to speak with Katrina, came face-to-face with a muscular guy wearing only swim trunks.The disappointment was evident!James asked fiercely, "Were you expecting to find my wife in a bikini, dude? Who are you?""Adrian Curtis, I work at Glamour and I have a proposal for you and your wife. May I come in?" Adrian tried to maintain his composure."What are you talking about? Proposal? I don't want anything to do with that company; we're already satisfied with the LCN Group," James responded fiercely, moving his hand to close the door in Adrian's face.Adrian, sensing this, quickly asked, "Aren't you interested in defeating Mark Ferro?
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 164 Wishful Thinking
After bidding farewell to the unusual visitor, James rushed back to his room.Taking advantage once again that Katrina wasn't there (where did she go?), James booted up her laptop, plugging the USB drive into the corresponding slot."This is going to be interesting. A glimpse of Mark in the parking lot that could be the answer to our problems, huh?" James grinned devilishly. "The guy always posed as a good guy, perfect, worthy but poor... Let's see."James accessed the video and began to watch.He had the same reactions as Adrian upon recognizing Briana in the parking lot footage.Then, when she reappeared being carried in Mark's arms, James's eyebrows remained raised.And when Briana's car nearly bounced with the effect of the drug happening inside it, James tilted his head back, laughing heartily."HA, HA, HA, HA! Mark, you pervert! You—"James interrupted his laughter, suddenly realizing the information.Mark was the first man in Briana's romantic life!That privilege belonged to J
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 165 Teasing Lord Ferro
When Briana returned, she was in a bikini, a shawl draped over her shoulders, sunglasses on, and a hat. Mark, focused on typing on his laptop, felt her presence and looked up, only to find her like this. "Sweetheart... Do you want to go to the beach?" Mark swallowed hard. The breathtaking sight of his wife in that bikini completely distracted him. Briana smiled mischievously. "Me, going to the beach alone? No, Luana still can't get up, so I'm heading to the pool we have here." Mark immediately stood up, reluctant. "Karl is using the pool!" "The pool is big enough for everyone. It looks like Julian is also enjoying himself while it's not time to prepare lunch yet," Briana replied nonchalantly. Mark stepped out from behind the desk. "If you show up like this in front of other guys, you'll keep Luana company, you know?" Briana smiled provocatively. "Hmm... I managed to get my husband out from behind that desk." "What do you mean?" Mark frowned. "Today is Saturday, honey, let's
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 166 Invitation Denied
Mark stood in the foyer of the Ferro house, seething with anger at Sandro's desire to intrude into their lives.The realization that Briana was considering accepting Sandro's proposal only intensified his frustration.Nearby, Julian wrapped in a towel, felt awkward and embarrassed."Do you want the cook to witness this conversation?" Mark snapped.Briana remained calm, insisting, "I want my parents to know where I live."Mark shot back, "So they can tell the rest of their family where we live?""You really don't want them to know where we are?" Briana pressed, her tone inquisitive."For your safety, dear, I don't want that. It's dangerous," he replied firmly."Dangerous how?" she challenged."Invite your parents here, and be prepared for a flood of relatives claiming they were 'just passing by the neighborhood,'" Mark warned.Indignant, Briana retorted, "Mark Ferro, don't go overboard! What do we have for them to leech off? Nothing!"This house was a gift from Alan Rocha; we didn't bu

Chapter 520 Renewing a Series
Meanwhile, at the Dixon Penthouse, Ray Dixon lounged poolside, basking in the afternoon sun. Sunglasses shaded his eyes as he flipped through the script for his upcoming single-camera sitcom. The vibe was easygoing — until his phone buzzed.The screen lit up with the name GERENTE FERRO. Ray had deliberately saved the contact under that name, knowing that if anyone else happened to glimpse his screen, they wouldn’t read “LORD Ferro.” Better to be safe than scandalized.He answered coolly. “Hello?”Mark dragged out a chair and sat, phone pressed to his ear.“Hello,” he said smoothly. “How’s it going? Have they slandered you yet?”On the other end, Ray chuckled. “Nah. Linda’s boys probably have their asses glued to their seats, deleting every little rumor.”“I’m sure,” Mark replied, his tone calm but cautious. “Still, it never hurts to be prepared. Here’s what I suggest — get a statement ready. Something you can release if someone does manage to stir up a scandal.”“Got it,” Ray said. Th
Chapter 519 Grasping His Jealousy
Gilson flopped into the seat, exhaling sharply.“Alright. You barely signed the sponsorship contract, and now you’re already looking to back out over some gossip piece that doesn’t even mention my daughter?”Lawrence’s expression darkened. “It doesn’t mention your daughter yet. But social media is brimming with implications.”Gilson scoffed. “You should be smart enough not to give Internet rumors any credit.”“Not everything said on the Internet is false, Gilson,” Lawrence replied, his voice even but firm.That forced Gilson to pause. He swallowed hard, and then nodded reluctantly. “Fine. So you’re choosing to believe the lies they’re spreading?”“I’m asking for a good reason to stay in this partnership,” Lawrence said, leaning forward. “I’m not looking to bail out. I want to see the third season of You Can’t Buy Happiness.”Gilson cleared his throat — loudly and unnecessarily — as he weighed his words. He knew this was serious business.“You know my niece Briana was heading up that p
Chapter 518 Selecting Comments
“Well,” Luana said smugly, “looks like she got the message.”“What message?!” Briana’s voice rose, sharp with exasperation.“That she can have as many guys as she wants — as long as she leaves mine alone.”“Luana,” Briana said, trying to keep her cool, “maybe Celia never had eyes for Karl in the first place.”Feigning reasonableness, Luana nodded slowly. “Yeah, of course. Now that she’s locked up in Jake Brett’s dressing room getting ‘pounded’ by one of those endless hunks from Times of Glory, I’m totally at peace.”Briana blinked, stunned by the venom in Luana’s tone. “It hasn’t crossed your mind that Celia and Jake might actually have something... real? Solid and healthy?”Luana scoffed with the kind of contempt that only she could master. “Brie, you’re sweet. Innocent. But women like Celia aren’t for marrying and raising kids. That’s why Mark dumped her for you.”Briana opened her mouth to correct her — that it had actually been the other way around — but honestly, she didn’t have
Chapter 517 Celia Is Moving On (?)
Celia stepped inside the dressing room of actor Jake at Glamour Studios, late afternoon, without knocking.From her point of view, she walked in at the exact moment Jake was completely naked, squatting with his smooth, round backside fully exposed in her direction — like a baby’s.Bursting into laughter, Celia couldn’t hold back. “Ha, ha, ha... If I had my phone right now...”But Jake didn’t flinch, not even a little. His reaction, or rather the lack of it, made it clear this wasn’t the first time a woman had walked in on him mid-change.Still turned away, he casually reached for a pair of jeans and began pulling them on.“Something for me?” he asked with calm familiarity.Switching into assistant mode, Celia checked the clipboard in her hand. “You’re done for today. But tomorrow’s got more. Do you have the script for the next episode?”Jake turned to her with an easy smile, then gestured toward his vanity.On the vanity, the script sat fresh and untouched, its crisp pages practically
Chapter 516 It's Showtime
Outside the Glamour Studios in the soft haze of late afternoon, Karl wandered through the active set of Times of Glory. Just ahead, a medieval-themed scene was in full swing.Actors, dressed as villagers and warriors of a bygone age, performed fluently without cue cards, their lines clearly memorized and rehearsed. Camera operators moved with precision, capturing the best angles while the head writer monitored the script closely, making sure every detail aligned with the original plan.Nearby, the makeup artists took a brief pause from their usual duties to admire the view — specifically, one of the actors clad in an open leather vest that showcased a chiseled, lightly hairy chest. Another actor, dressed as a warrior, gripped a faux sword that looked startlingly real at first glance.Celia arrived on set, walking quietly to avoid disrupting the scene. She knew the rules — any interruption would get her thrown off the set by the director, and Karl wouldn’t hesitate to report her to Bri
Chapter 515 Not Involved in Debauchery
Meanwhile, back at the Vasconcelos Company, the tension was mounting in Gilson’s office. Katrina’s cellphone rang incessantly from the corner where she had thrown her purse. Claudia sat on the sofa with her hands over her ears, while Gilson stood nearby, breathing heavily with mounting stress.“Darling...” Claudia began gently.“I’LL ANSWER THE DAMN THING!” Gilson snapped, exasperated.He marched over, bent down, and retrieved the purse.Just as he grabbed the phone, the ringing stopped.Gilson stared at the silent device like it had personally insulted him.And then, from the desk behind him, the landline phone started ringing.Claudia gasped. “It’s him!”“Let’s see what this is about,” Gilson muttered, rushing over like a sprinter. He picked up the receiver with a bit too much enthusiasm.“HELLO?” he barked.At the other end, in his office at Sodré Bank, Lawrence Sodré was back at his desk, dressed once again in his suit and tie. His secretary lingered nearby, beaming with barely re
Chapter 514 Desperation in Calamity
“Katrina!” Gilson barked. “Are you trying to kill me?”Katrina shot her mother a questioning look, silently mouthing “Is he mad about the door?”Claudia, exasperated, tried to redirect. “Daughter, did you see the noon news?”“I might’ve glanced at it,” Katrina replied with blasé sarcasm. “Mary Ellen, that Glamour employee, woke up from her coma after getting a plate to the head from Luana Barros. The same skank Christopher’s been lusting after for years.”Gilson’s fists tightened, rage simmering.“That’s not the story,” he said through gritted teeth, rising slowly to his feet. “We’re talking about the nightclub where you were filmed dancing with Ray Dixon. It’s been shut down. Turns out it was part of the same criminal scheme as Red Light.”Katrina went cold.She felt a freezing sensation in her chest, as though her heart had stopped mid-beat. Her eyes widened, staring ahead blankly as the magnitude of the situation hit her. Her mind flashed to the lucrative partnership pending with S
Chapter 513 Fantasy
As she walked away, Celia couldn’t help but wonder what — or who — Mark was so invested in on his screen. Was it a message from Briana?She gave a little shrug, brushing the thought aside. Her mind was already elsewhere.In her imagination, the setting shifted to a lush green field, open and sunlit. There, Karl appeared, walking in slow motion like a vision from a risqué fantasy. His shirt was unbuttoned, revealing a chiseled torso and sculpted abs as if carved from marble. He wore loose, rustic brown trousers slung low on his hips, clearly without underwear, each step making that painfully obvious. Barefoot, he moved across the grass, his gaze locked on hers, seductive and inviting — as if about to kiss her... or more.The fantasy dissolved.On Celia’s face — her smirk mischievous, eyes filled with naughty determination.The ding of the elevator brought her back to reality. Celia entered the elevator. She turned just before the doors closed, still grinning mischievously, pressing a b
Chapter 512 Another Nightclub Is Shut Down
Briana stepped into the restaurant, greeted warmly by the maître d’ at the entrance. The blast of cool air from the AC offered a welcome contrast to the heat outside, prompting her to pause and savor the momentary relief.But as she moved further into the dining area, a shift in the atmosphere became impossible to ignore.From her perspective, it was clear — several staff members and diners turned to look at her, some with hesitance, others with thinly veiled hostility.A handful didn’t bother hiding their resentment, eyes narrow and judgmental. Briana pressed her lips together in a tight line.She understood the message.Composing herself, she made her way to the food station, picked up a shallow plate, and began serving herself from the day’s offerings — white rice, beans, chicken lasagna, fries, potato salad, and quail eggs topped with pink sauce.She moved to the scale, where the young man who usually greeted her with familiarity now remained silent. He weighed the plate and hande
