“What feelings?” Sandro continued, cutting off Claudia. “Delusions? Delusions of grandeur?”“It’s easy for you to judge,” Claudia retorted, adopting a pitiful expression.“Why do you think it’s right to keep your daughter in this delusion?” Sandro asked, impatient.Claudia assumed a psychiatric pose. “Because if we constantly rub the truth in Katrina’s face, she will snap! How will she raise my grandson in those conditions?”“She won’t,” Gilson said, his voice somber. “Patricio has already warned that he will dump Katrina and seek full custody of his son if Katrina doesn’t get her act together.”Claudia swallowed hard, feeling Reality punch her in the stomach. “But... that will only make things worse... my daughter—”“If your daughter can’t have a normal head, focused on her own life, and can’t forget about defeating my daughter, then she becomes an unfitting mother,” Sandro stated firmly.Sandro turned on his heel and exited, closing the door with deliberate care.Gilson felt a flick

“My young man, it’s been a while!” Nadir exclaimed.Rodolfo flinched, immediately sensing trouble from Nadir. “Mrs. Vasconcelos, what do you mean?”“I’m referring to the fact that you’ve missed days of work,” Nadir said, approaching him. “Was everything alright with you?”Rodolfo swallowed, unable to tell the truth. “Ehr... I was unwell, barely able to get out of bed.”That wasn’t entirely a lie. Rodolfo couldn’t get out of bed because he was handcuffed, being abused relentlessly by Nadir’s sister-in-law.Nadir, didn’t catching his drift, put her hand on her mouth. “How awful! Fortunately, your family—”“To make matters worse, I live alone,” Rodolfo corrected her quickly.“Oh, what a pity,” Nadir said, maintaining her charismatic smile. “Well, I’m glad you’re feeling better and are back.”Nadir returned inside the company, feeling she had done a good deed by showing concern for her employees.Rodolfo, however, let out a comically loud sigh of relief that caught the attention of his co

“That is true,” Clayton conceded, shaking his head. “What I don’t understand is why anyone would want a territorial separation from the Aurelian Monarchy.”“Drakov was dissatisfied with the way things were done at the time,” Mark explained diplomatically, “and he believed he had the right to secession. Many people bought into his speech.”“But now, with how things are going in Aurelia...” Clayton offered an ironic smile. “That guy was completely wrong. If there were complaints, they could be addressed to the Throne without needing a war to do so.”“What Drakov truly wanted was power,” Mark countered. “Popular dissatisfaction was merely the pretext he seized upon to justify his actions.”Clayton leaned forward. “So, has the Braspolis police found anything?”“Nothing to locate Drakov, not yet,” Mark replied, his voice cold.“The Public Safety Council wants to know if they can leave this matter in your hands.” Clayton leaned back. “You still have your operations center and the best men t

After both women had left the room, Gilson showed the photos to Patricio. The jaw of his future son-in-law immediately tightened.“That’s what I suspected,” Patricio muttered.“She knows that Brie’s baby room is better,” Gilson said, agitated, “but she prefers to maintain the lie and refuses to see the photos. Are you understanding this?”“Yes, Mr. Vasconcelos,” Patricio replied, clearly distressed. “And honestly... I’m starting to get worried.”“There are other things I don’t know about?” Gilson asked, aghast.“This ‘bet,’ which Briana never even agreed to, is driving my fiancée out of her mind. I don’t want this rivalry to extend to every aspect of my son’s life.”“Patricio, you have a responsibility to my daughter,” Gilson reminded him sternly.“And to my son as well. If I feel that he won’t be happy having a mother who is obsessed with her cousin...” Patricio’s brow furrowed. “I don’t think I need to finish that sentence. As a lawyer, I know my rights.”Gilson swallowed hard. If t

The employees of Glamour Magazine were gathered in the hallways, buzzing with talk about yet another bomb that had exploded in the early morning, this one dangerously close to the Parliament in Aurelia Square.“I think I’m going over there to do a full report,” Mary Ellen announced with determination.“Wouldn’t that be dangerous, Mary Ellen?” Jake asked, concerned.“Not really,” she replied. “I can protect myself if Lieutenant Ribeiro goes with me.”Jake flashed a sly smile. “They’re saying he’s more than just ‘Lieutenant Ribeiro’ to you, aren’t they?”“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Mary Ellen and Jake exchanged light laughter.Luana and Karl approached the others, also discussing the latest news.“But how did no one hear anything?” Luana wondered aloud.“There are no residential buildings around that square, darling,” Karl explained. “Only commercial buildings, and they were all closed.”“Well, if someone was deeply asleep, they must have thought it was just some random no

Julian served breakfast in the dining room of Ferro House. For Briana, he presented a nourishing spread: a bowl of Greek yogurt topped with fresh berries and crushed walnuts, a slice of whole-wheat toast with avocado, and a small glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice — a light and balanced meal, rich in folate and nutrients essential for a healthy pregnancy.“Thank you, Julian,” Briana said, her voice bright with enthusiasm. “How are you doing?”“Much better, Lady Ferro.” Julian offered a polite bow and quietly withdrew.Mark raised an eyebrow at his wife. “Okay, I think I deserve to know what’s going on.”“What are you talking about, darling?” Briana asked, feigning ignorance.Mark flashed a mischievous smile. “Something is brewing between you and Julian.”The color drained from Briana’s face. His choice of words could easily be misinterpreted.Mark chuckled, realizing her discomfort. “Hey, I know you’re not having an affair with the chef.”“But the choice of words...” Briana picked u
