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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 50 Apology Offer
The atmosphere at the Braz Social Club shifted dramatically, plunging from celebration to chaos in mere moments.The air was thick with confusion as everyone tried to make sense of the new situation.Karl, his voice laced with both curiosity and defiance, spoke up first. "What's going on here? Who are you?"The leader of the intruders stepped forward, his presence commanding. "My name is Víbora, and these are my guys," he announced, his tone dripping with menace.Karl, refusing to back down, replied bravely, "So what? When did you study with us?" His words were met with blank stares from Víbora and his thugs, as if he were speaking a foreign language.Meanwhile, the others in the room could barely conceal their fear."Don't talk down to me, kid!" Víbora barked, his patience wearing thin.Karl remained undeterred. "I'm asking because this event is for former classmates to reconnect and have fun. You don't belong here."Víbora's eyes narrowed as he countered, "You're mistaken, buddy. I'
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 51 Fernanda Shouts the Order
The ballroom buzzed with murmurs as the former college classmates gathered in small clusters, their faces a blend of confusion and disbelief.Mark's eyes darted between the partygoers and the figures who had just walked in — Viper and his gang.They thought Mark had ties to the Viper gang, but in reality, it's Fernanda Gabas who does!How ironic, huh?For Mark, this was very wrong.A snobbish and arrogant woman like Fernanda Gabas wouldn't mix with vandals and hooligans.Then he remembered that Romulo had connections with the underworld. Where is he?Romulo got out of sight before the thugs entered. Was he the one who secretly called this gang and now he was hiding cowardly?Fernanda Gabas stood tall at the center of the commotion, her poise unshaken as she faced Viper.Her smile was a razor-sharp edge in the light. "How have you been, Viper?" she drawled, her voice laced with a venomous sweetness. "I didn't know you were around."Viper's posture shifted from dangerous to obsequious.
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 52 Enough Is Enough
An unspoken dread hung over the gathering like a thundercloud.As the guests whispered and shot wary glances among themselves, Fernanda stood at the center of the storm, her eyes narrowed, projecting an icy indifference.Karl protested with vehemence, "What kind of nonsense is this? Fernanda, you're really okay with Briana being taken away by those thugs?"Fernanda just answered with mockery smile as if the predicament were merely a soap opera playing out rather than a harrowing reality."Everyone knows they're not just taking her for a stroll, right?" snapped a colleague nearby, his cheeks flushed with indignation.Fernanda shrugged, her face as impassive as stone. "That's no longer my problem," she said, her voice colder than the chill of the marble floor beneath their feet.Luana, her eyes wide in disbelief, stepped forward. "What a horrible thing for you to say, Fernanda!" she exclaimed, her horror palpable."Ugh, why all the drama?" Fernanda replied, waving her hand dismissively.
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 53 Víbora Got Really Angry
Hope began to flicker like the first rays of dawn at the Braz Social Club, a small haven where laughter and camaraderie once flourished.As darkness descended, however, it seemed that everything was lost.Briana and Luana watched helplessly as former classmates were cornered by ruthless street gangs, threatened with assaults and human rights violations.All they wanted was a night of fun, yet fear hung in the air like a thick fog.Fernanda Gabas had long been written off in the minds of many as a guest at future parties and events. Her reputation, once vibrant, now lay in ruins!But just when despair threatened to claim them, a most unexpected hero emerged: Briana's husband, Mark.When everything seemed hopeless, who would have thought that the initial salvation would come through Briana's failed and impoverished husband?The thugs from Víbora, menacing and intimidating, were taken by surprise when Mark suddenly freed himself from their grip.One of them, who had dared to touch Briana
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 54 The Gray-Clad Group
Viper tightened his grip on the baton, his eyes locked on Mark.The tension in the room was suffocating as the party-goers held their breaths, each of them acutely aware of the impending clash.Would Mark emerge from this confrontation unscathed?It was one thing to dispatch a few low-level thugs; taking down the gang’s leader was a completely different battle altogether.Just when it seemed that defeat was inevitable, a sudden loud noise pierced the air. The ballroom doors swung open with a force that diverted everyone's attention.Heads turned in unison, surprise washing over their faces as a new group of men entered the scene.Unlike Viper's rowdy crew, these newcomers exuded an air of intimidation, but their entrance was far more organized and respectful.Clad in sharp gray suits that seemed to signify their unity, they definitely weren’t the sort one would expect to see in a brawl.Viper, taken aback by the unexpected interruption, briefly ceased his advance on Mark. What did thi
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 55 Romulo Awakens from His Illusion
The applause erupted, filling the room with a wave of excitement as the gray-clad group was showered with admiration for their display of strength and courage.Finally, the party-goers felt safe again, their fears momentarily set aside.Luana, tears streaming down her face, stepped forward. "Thank you so much, all of you!"Karl, still wide-eyed from the chaos, couldn't help but comment, "Wow, the security level of this club is shocking, right? Which agency did you train with?"The leader of the gray-clad group chuckled softly, not offering any real answers.Mark Ferro, their leader, had been clear in his instructions — they were not to reveal their true identity.So, they let the party-goers believe they were merely staff of the venue.Luana, turning her gaze to Fernanda, asked, "And now, Fernanda? What do you have to say?"Fernanda stood frozen, her mind reeling from the rapid turn of events.Her plan, meticulously crafted with her boyfriend to take down Briana, had crumbled in secon

Chapter 473 Save the Pratt Family!
The LCN building stood imposing amid numerous skyscrapers vying for space in the urban landscape of Lagoon City. Mark and James passed through the entrance as if they were celebrities. Photos were taken, and employees looked on in deep admiration. “Look, the representative from Glamour who rocked those two TV series!” “I liked ‘Colorful Kisses’ better; what about you?” “Obviously, I liked ‘Times of Glory’ more, full of those ripped, shirtless male characters!” “I don’t think the series was supposed to highlight that...” As Mark walked past those commenting, he nodded vigorously before stepping into the elevator. There, he commented to James, “‘Times of Glory’ is a show made for men, showcasing the Middle Ages with its customs and epic tales. But the only thing the ladies are noticing are the actors playing the warriors.” “If Ray Dixon shows up in the second season, the female audience will surpass the male!” James laughed. “And have you talked to Katrina since the premiere o
Chapter 472 Change of Command
The next day, Ryan appeared at the Red House nightclub. The nightclub was built in the same style as the now-defunct ‘Red Light’: bar, tables and chairs, a wide space for the flow of customers and waitresses... and the infamous stage for ‘dancers’. Ryan entered, looking around. He found a few waiters scattered throughout the hall, sweeping up dust, cigarette ashes, and snack crumbs. What appeared to be the manager, a burly red-haired man, was behind the bar, checking the stock of drinks and cocktail ingredients. Ryan approached him. “Are you Ivan?” Ryan asked. “Who wants to know?” Ivan straightened up, suspicious. “Ryan Ribas, brother of Romulo Ribas.” Ryan took a seat on the stool. Ivan stared at Ryan for a long moment. “You really do look like him.” “Then we can skip the DNA test.” Ryan gestured, signaling business. “Let’s get straight to the point. Are you aware of what happened in Braspolis?” Ivan shook his head in disdain. “Amateurs. When the police sum 2 + 2...” “The p
Chapter 472 Establishing the Mission
“So that’s why you got married, Lord Ferro?” Evandro finally understood. “Oh, how cruel! From what we see of Lady Ferro on TV, she’s a kind and good girl. She will fit perfectly as your companion when you take the reins of Aurelia, Lord Ferro.” Ray explained, “Only she doesn’t know yet.” “I don’t want to expose her to more dangers by revealing my identity. Rest assured, there are many people willing to do her harm if they find out she’s married to me. They just need to think she’s married to a mere manager of her company.” Evandro remembered a detail, “Glamour technically belongs to her.” Mark snapped his fingers, pleased with Evandro’s recollection. If Celia had listened to Mark that day, he would have given Glamour to her to preside over. But Celia didn’t want to know and asked for a divorce. Now that Briana is his wife, Mark would need to devise a way to give the company to her. “Briana nailed both of her shows. Her parents are in favor of our union, but so far, no one in th
Chapter 471 Welcome to Lagoon City!
Lagoon City. The city that is constantly referred to as the “Brazilian Los Angeles” or the “Capixaba New York” because of the promise it emanates of new life and opportunity to all who move there. In Armando’s case, he was also in search of an opportunity. The city where Josias Rocha reigned supreme shone at night, with the bustling downtown where workers sought their way home. But our story takes us a little away from the center, heading toward the coastal area. In the famous neighborhood of Sunset Village, the place where a good part of the elite lived, stood Mark’s mansion. The mansion was painted white and had a colonial style, traditional yet elegant, a feast for the eyes of anyone who saw it. Mark rejected the exaggerated and futuristic modernisms that some mansions embraced. James and Armando were left speechless when they entered the “foyer” of the mansion, which resembled a grand atrium. “A fountain IN HERE?” Armando exclaimed. Not even in his wildest dreams would th
Chapter 470 Follow Your Path
Before Gilson left Katrina’s office, he paused at the door, indecisive. Then, he turned to her. “Are you serious about Mark?” A triumphant smile appeared on Katrina’s lips. “I knew you wouldn’t be able to resist the mystery.” “What mystery? Come on, be more straightforward!” “I found Armando Pratt. He was having coffee at Sweet Aroma,” Katrina informed him. “He said Aunt Nadir urged him to go after Briana to convince her to divorce Mark.” “That must have been when my mom had just kicked them out of the mansion,” Gilson suggested. “I think so too. Anyway, Armando claimed that Mark made a phone call to Alan Rocha, and five minutes later, his father called to announce the sudden bankruptcy. The reason? They offended the wrong people.” Gilson squinted and scratched his chin, thinking... “Mark, with all this going on? As if those helicopters and the Aurelia Cathedral where the wedding took place weren’t enough...” “That’s a lot for just being the backup for Young Mr. Rocha, huh?”
Chapter 469 A Strange Way to Behave
At the Vasconcelos Company, Gilson was not willing to let Katrina off the hook for the failure of the series she created. “Daughter, do you understand why your series flopped?” Katrina jumped up from her seat, shouting at the top of her lungs, “Stop saying that! For heaven’s sake, we’re still on the first episode!” Gilson shook his head, disheartened. “I see you still have a lot to learn. Daughter, we had a viewership goal, and that goal wasn’t met. We expected 6 rating points; we only reached 2.” Katrina felt like spitting blood. Damn it! “Do you understand that—” “‘Do you understand that—’” Katrina mockingly imitated her father’s voice, interrupting him rudely. “Change the record, old man, will you?” Gilson remained unfazed, “Do you understand that your trip to prison hurt your series’ performance? Do you understand that we failed because we lost the support of LCN?” Katrina wanted to bury herself in a hole. Anything would be better than taking responsibility for the wrongdo
Chapter 468 Trying for an Interview
Katrina was now in her office at the Vasconcelos Company.Thinking about everything Armando said, she still couldn’t understand what he had told her.“Mark Ferro called Alan Campos Rocha and turned the Pratt family into a bunch of broke people with just one phone call in five minutes. How is that even humanly possible? And why would Young Mr. Rocha heed the request of a crazy slum dweller like Mark?”The door opened, and Gilson appeared, overhearing Katrina’s question murmured between clenched teeth.“Daughter, are you still worried about Briana and Mark? Forget them, and focus on your life.”Katrina turned to her father, a bit hurt by the interruption. “Dad, did you know that the Pratt family went bankrupt because of Mark?”“No, and I don’t want to hear that fake news.” Gilson tossed a thick document onto Katrina’s desk. “I want you to study this.”“What the hell is this?” Katrina grimaced, with no desire to read it.“These are the metrics, along with user comments who signed up for
Chapter 467 There Are Other Ways to Get Revenge
Katrina couldn’t understand how Mark managed to convince Alan Rocha to leave the Pratt family financially ruined.“Armando, something isn’t adding up.” Katrina emptied her cold cappuccino cup. “I know that Mark has Alan Rocha’s backing. Don’t ask me how; he never told us. But to ask that you go bankrupt just because you did a reasonable request...?”Armando frowned. “It wasn’t a reasonable request. It was a stupidity I regret to this day. Mark Ferro is somehow powerful and I wouldn’t have done any of that if I had known beforehand.”“My aunt just wanted the best for her daughter.” Katrina tried to justify the embarrassment.“I heard that now Briana’s parents support the marriage,” Armando countered, seeing how out of touch Katrina was.“Yes, because they always want to be on the winning team. If Mark continued to be the loser janitor, they would insist that Briana divorce him to this day.”“Well, things have changed for Mark, and now I hope things change for me too. Since I couldn’t a
Chapter 466 Katrina and Armando
In the Sweet Aroma café, Katrina was stunned by Armando’s announcement that he would be traveling to Lagoon City with her ex-husband and her cousin’s husband.Armando started laughing, enjoying her shocked expression. “HA, HA, HA... what’s with that face, friend?”“It’s the face of someone who doesn’t understand a thing, but you definitely have my attention to explain,” Katrina retorted, daring to sip her cold cappuccino.Armando pouted. “You don’t want to tell me how you’re doing...”“FINE!” Katrina shouted, hitting a high pitch in the process. “I’m living in the Vasconcelos Mansion and I’ve been suffering like crazy from the divorce. You know my motto.”“And you know my opinion,” Armando replied, swallowing a fried cheese ball.“Why don’t you consider my feelings?” Katrina frowned. “I can’t be divorced while Briana is happy with a hot husband. IT’S NOT FAIR!”“You don’t get to decide that, dear,” Armando said matter-of-factly.“Now tell me why you’re going to Lagoon City with Mark.”
