In Briana and Luana’s new office, Luana decides to confide in her boyfriend about what she discovered regarding her best friend’s marriage. “Karl, what I’m about to tell you is strictly confidential,” Luana asks. “I found out how Mark and Brie decided to get married. Everything is shown in that video.” “They wanted to play that video instead of the teasers?” Karl raised his eyebrows. “That’s right,” Luana shook her head. “The video shows Mark carrying Briana in his arms outside in the parking lot. He takes her to Briana’s old car. It looked like Brie was feeling sick. But instead of taking her to the hospital... the car started shaking.” Karl feels an embarrassing heat wash over him. “Wait, Luana, are you suggesting that—” “I don’t know what to think,” Luana’s voice trembles. “Did Mark take advantage of the situation with Briana? Remember, dear: Briana never wanted to tell us how she and Mark met. Sometimes she reacted with fear.” “That fear would be of Mark? That doesn’t seem
“Karl, leave me alone with my friend,” Luana said solemnly. Karl nodded and stepped out. Briana went to her desk and placed her bag on the surface, not understanding what was happening. “Look at these beautiful desks they left for us, my friend…” “Brie!” Luana didn’t smile, looking at Briana with a look of pity. Briana felt her heart race, sensing that her best friend was about to announce a tragedy. “Brie, I know you’ve always tried to avoid this topic. It must have been painful for you,” Luana positioned herself toward the door. “But it’s time we talked about when you and Mark—” Luana’s move was clever. Briana instantly wanted to run out of the office, but Luana grabbed her, blocking her escape and pushing her back near the desk. “Let me go, Luana, LET ME GO!” “I already know the whole truth, Briana!” “NNOOOO!!!” Briana tried to escape the office two more times, feeling suffocated. Luana, with uncommon strength, wouldn’t let her best friend escape this time. “Karl must b
Ray and Alanna exchange glances, and the camera captures the moment as if it were something forbidden to say.“Well, everyone is going to find out, right, Alanna?” Ray asked playfully.“It’s going to appear in the opening or closing credits of every episode.” Alanna shrugs. “Yeah, we’re under the jurisdiction of Vasconcelos Company.”Lisandro nodded. “What do you think of this arrangement? I’ve heard various actors are competing for a spot to work with Glamour.”Ray let out a hearty laugh and leaned back on the sofa, trying to project an air of relaxation. “Nah, we’re cool. When Sandro Vasconcelos approached us with this opportunity, we didn’t think much about it. We received the pilot episode, liked what we read, and quickly contacted our agent.”Alanna nodded in agreement. “That’s right. Mr. Sandro Vasconcelos was very kind to us.”Lisandro threw more fuel onto the fire. “By ‘Sandro Vasconcelos,’ are you referring to the older brother, the father of Briana Vasconcelos, who is workin
Meanwhile, Luana and Briana were finally clearing up what happened the day she met Mark.Briana felt something explode inside her upon learning that she almost got exposed at the party held at Braz Social Club.“GIRL!” Briana exclaimed, “We need to investigate this thoroughly! We can’t let a bomb like this explode out of nowhere, not with Mark being protective of me and hating Adrian Curtis.”Luana smiled indifferently. “What’s the problem? Mark can easily fire Adrian. That would complete the purge.”Briana shook her head. “No, Luana, we’re talking about a secret in my life that was nearly exposed. Why exactly would Adrian take on something like this?”“Do you believe he had a sore throat right on the day of the party?” Luana crossed her arms, dissatisfied with the possibility of Briana exonerating the idiot.But to her relief, Briana shook her head. “No. Knowing the creature, I know he would be capable of that.”“Do you want to go back to Braz Social Club to investigate this more clo
Mark was heading out to the parking lot towards his Lamborghini. When he looked at the car, his gaze fell on the famous parking space where he and Briana had their first romantic encounter. Suspicious, Mark looked up, searching for surveillance cameras. “Did Adrian manage to get a recording from that day and try to show it at the party, pretending to have a sore throat to escape accusations?” Mark took out his phone and dialed Linda’s number. “Yes, Lord Ferro?” “Send someone to follow Adrian. If he happens to go to Red Light and talk to his father, keep me informed,” Mark ordered curtly. “Understood, Lord Ferro.” “Also, check what happened at the party that my wife and Luana Barros hosted yesterday. They were supposed to showcase some teasers for the series we’re filming, but the audio-visual team at Braz Social Club refused and almost caused a scene.” Mark grabbed the car key with his free hand. “That’s strange, Lord Ferro. We’ll look into that as well, don’t worry,” Linda as
“I came to say thank you for helping me, Mark,” Sandro commented after breaking the silence. “I could see you kept your promise by having both artists reveal who mediated the hiring. I just worry if this isn’t giving publicity to my niece’s series.” “In a way, it is. But Brie isn’t exasperated about it,” Mark smiled and crossed his legs. “Have you seen the teasers we released on social media? They’re blowing up with comments and shares.” “Yes, I thought they were very well produced. However, weren’t those videos supposed to be shown at the party she threw?” Sandro frowned. Mark cleared his throat. “Ahem… There was a technical problem. The audio and video team claimed they received a different video and refused to show it.” Mark’s phone buzzed with a message notification. “Excuse me, Sandro.” Mark checked his phone. He smiled upon reading: ‘Adrian Curtis is at Red Light.’ “Any good news?” Sandro asked. “Yes, excellent news,” Mark replied enigmatically. ****** Red Light, as ev
Briana returns to Ferro House. This time, Regis was present and ready to welcome her. He reaches out to take her coat and handbag. “Good evening, Mrs. Ferro. How was your workday?” “It was excellent, Regis, thank you very much. Is Mr. Ferro here?” “Yes, he’s with your father in the living room,” Regis replied promptly. Briana was surprised by the response. Her father had become a regular visitor, with Mark’s approval. “Thank you. And what about dinner?” “Julian is preparing fried calamari,” Regis said with a wide smile, thinking about enjoying that delicacy as well. Briana laughed and headed to the living room. Fried calamari is a treat. Upon entering the living room, she was surprised to see her father-in-law and husband engaging in lively conversation. “Wow, I could get used to this harmonious scene. Hello, Dad.” “HI, sweetheart!” Sandro stood up and kissed his daughter’s left cheek. Briana looked at Mark and couldn’t help but feel a strange sensation... knowing that Lua
Gilson and Claudia were determined to maintain their status as the favorites in the Vasconcelos Mansion at all costs. Claudia sat beside her husband and softened her voice. “Althea, you can’t be serious.” “Are you questioning my sanity?” Althea’s eyebrows dangerously rose. “I didn’t say that.” Claudia hurried to correct herself. “I’m questioning the loyalty you have to my husband and my children. You need to keep supporting Chris’s and Katrina’s accomplishments.” “Who said I intend to stop doing that?” Althea shook her head. “I’m just realizing that my son Sandro is getting his life in order, becoming someone capable of bringing joy and profits to the Vasconcelos family.” Gilson panicked. “Mom, even if that happens, you can’t give credit to Sandro! You need to continue valuing me, only me, as your prodigal and favorite son! I’m the one leading the Vasconcelos family to glory!” Althea found all of this confusing. “I need to go to my room. A new episode of ‘Love Spins the World’ i
