Here Comes the Lord Chapter 42 You Got Five Minutes
"Mother, what are you saying?" Briana finally managed to question the family's plan with incredulity. "Do you mean our 'capable' family spent the night planning THIS kind of idea?"Nadir remained composed. "What's wrong with marrying Armando? He's handsome, and one of your grandmother's favored options."Armando got closer with a seductive smile forming on his lips. "You know I've always admired you, Briana—"Briana cut him off firmly, retorting in a resolute tone, "I don’t mean to be rude, Armando, but I am already married to Mark and I won't divorce him."What kind of woman do you think I am? Marriage isn’t the same as changing clothes, folks!"Briana got pretty upset, feeling that her family was treating her like a mere commodity.Armando's gaze shifted disdainfully to Mark, paying attention to him for the first time, scrutinizing him with thinly veiled contempt.He questioned Briana, "You married this guy who looks more like your lackey? Briana, when your mother informed me, I tho
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 43 A Cursed Tongue
Sensing an opportunity, Mark discreetly dialed Susana."Yes, Lord Ferro?" Susana answered promptly."What do you know about Armando Pratt?" Mark inquired sharply.Susana hesitated for a moment before replying, "Well, he comes from a prominent family in Braspolis, known for their involvement in film and series productions, and—""Find out everything about them," Mark interrupted, his voice firm and commanding. "And ensure they go bankrupt in five minutes.""Understood, Lord Ferro," Susana acknowledged before ending the call.Returning his attention to the ongoing confrontation, Mark was surprised to see Armando persisting in his attempts to sway Briana.Armando moved closer, trying to touch Briana affectionately.What a scum of a man!"Armando, listen to me," Briana implored with urgency while trying to avoid closer contact.Ignoring Briana's plea, Armando continued in a seductive tone, "I'm listening to my heart, Briana. We’re not strangers, after all!"Nadir, ever hopeful of the youn
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 44 The Braz Social Club
The Braz Social Club stood as a beacon of exclusivity in Braspolis, its grandeur drawing in the city's elite. Tonight, under the cloak of darkness, Mark, Briana, and Luana approached its gates, lured by the promise of a reunion party organized by Briana's college friends eager to reconnect with Luana.As they entered, their eyes caught sight of an unexpected spectacle: two men engaged in a fencing match. Luana, always quick-witted, remarked on the scene."Look, some people are already having fun! Though that one seems a bit out of shape," she quipped.Briana followed her gaze. "Maybe, but he's doing pretty well."They proceeded into the main hall where the festivities were in full swing.Former college classmates warmly embraced Luana, seizing the opportunity to catch up with Briana too.Mark lingered a few steps behind, quietly observing.Would there be tactless individuals here, eager to undermine his wife in his presence?Instinctively, he felt for his phone in his pocket, a small
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 45 Ex-Classmate from College
The atmosphere at the Braz Social Club crackled with tension as Fernanda, undeterred by the discomfort she caused, continued to assert her presence.Briana decided to defend herself, trying to spare Mark the longest she could."Well, Fernanda, as I said before, I'm married to Mark, and I'm very happy. Luana can attest to that," Briana replied, her irritation evident.Luana, with a lightly ironic tone, interjected smoothly, "And what about you, Fernanda? You're so beautiful too; I'm sure someone has noticed you."Fernanda seized the opportunity to showcase her own pride. She puffed up like a peacock and pointed towards the fencing duo with a flourish."Yes, there is my boyfriend, Romulo Ribas!" she announced boastfully.All eyes turned to the fencing match.The crowd watched intently as one of the opponents emerged victorious, removing his helmet to reveal himself as Fernanda's boyfriend.Fernanda's chest swelled with pride at Romulo's triumph, her smile widening as he approached their
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 46 A Boyfriend from the Underworld?
The evening air hummed with awkwardness as the conversation veered sharply.Fernanda's words, announcing to everybody that her boyfriend has some connection with the underworld, sliced through the jovial atmosphere like a dagger, leaving her listeners suspended in discomfort.Luana, her brow furrowed, broke the uneasy silence."Come on, dear! That's too much!" she exclaimed, trying to diffuse the mounting tension.Fernanda's gaze remained fixed on Romulo, a smirk forming on her lips. "Am I exaggerating, my dear?" she asked him as if to get confirmation.Romulo responded dryly as he face her girlfriend's classmates, "If you guys consider the Bento family an exaggeration, then it's fine."Luana's eyes widened in realization, a gasp escaping her lips.The Bento family? That famous family that acts since the 80s, never being caught by the police and serving Josias Rocha and other big shots?Her mind raced, trying to piece together the implications of Romulo's cryptic remark.Across the ro
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 47 No Quarrel in the Party
Luana and Briana couldn't believe what was happening.They showed up at Braz Social Club just to have fun. Their friends wanted to see them again, especially Luana, to reminisce about the old days.But Fernanda also wanted to relive the old days when she fought for attention with Briana.Briana even suspected that the whole party was a scheme by Fernanda to ensnare her and humiliate her in public.As if that wasn't enough, now there's a guy they don't know who's fighting with the party's guest of honor!How is that possible?The atmosphere crackled as Briana's voice rang out, incredulous and defiant. "But that's absurd! Listen here, Luana owes no one an apology."You guys threw this party for her, but your girlfriend has been unpleasant from the start. Luana simply stood her ground." Her words were sharp, showcasing her indignation.Luana crossed her arms. "That's right! I don't even know you, man! Who do you think you are to yell at me like that?"Briana pointed her finger at Fernand
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 48 Go Home To Save Yourself
The class reunion party was in full swing. The DJ was playing songs from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, making the partygoers dance to their parents' music. Mark and Briana discreetly stayed at a table while Luana danced her heart out on the dance floor, surrounded by former classmates. However, the next song was a slow ballad, and people began to pair up to dance slowly. With a song more to his liking, Mark stood up and asked Briana, "Would you like to dance?" Surprised, Briana smiled gracefully and got up, accepting her husband's inviting hand. Not wanting to draw too much attention, Mark and Briana danced where they were. Fernanda watched from a distance, seething with hate and resentment. How does Briana manage it? Why does she ALWAYS manage it? Even though her husband was a broke nobody, it could undoubtedly be said that he was the most handsome and desirable man in the room! Unsatisfied, Fernanda approached Romulo, who was busy eating snacks. Fernanda's disgust intensified at
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 49 A Gang of Weirdos
Mark's irritation was transparent as he learned about the suggestion that he, Briana, and Luana leave the party. His resolve to teach Fernanda and Romulo a lesson remained unshaken.For now, he allowed the women to voice their concerns; after all, it was their celebration.Briana, her arms crossed defensively, stared down Karl with a fierce intensity. "Listen, Karl, we understand your concern. But if anyone should leave the party, it should be Fernanda's boyfriend!""Exactly!" Luana chimed in, her tone sharp. "I'm the guest of honor tonight. My best friend is the main attraction as well."We're here to relive old memories. Who even is Romulo Ribas? Which class or year did he come from?"Karl's worry was evident as he scratched his neck nervously. "Well... I know Mr. Ribas wasn't one of our college classmates.""Then let's ask Fernanda to leave," Briana suggested with a touch of malice.She knew Fernanda would react explosively to such a suggestion!Karl's anxiety reached a fever pitc

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
