Here Comes the Lord Chapter 63 More Gunshots Instead of Help
Briana's phone dialed Mark's number... Ring... ring... ring... That robotic lady answered in Mark's place: 'The number you have dialed is out of the coverage area or turned off. Please try again later.' Briana turned extremely pale, unable to utter a single word. It felt like she had swallowed beach sand! But even if she could still speak, WHAT would she say to her toxic parents? Sandro and Nadir exchanged glances, a mix of victory and disappointment on their faces. Victory because they felt they were right about Mark, the Pauper. Disappointment because they were once again humiliated by Gilson and Claudia! "He's not answering, is he?" "Dad, before you start—" "HE'S NOT ANSWERING, IS HE?" Sandro cut off his daughter, exploding finally. It didn't matter how, today he and Nadir were going to speak their minds! Enough, our daughter is living in a world of illusion! "I can't take this anymore!" Nadir suddenly stormed off to her room. After the door slammed shut, Sandro cont
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 64 Let's Put You Bridal Dress
Briana felt like she was in a whirlwind of emotions and decisions beyond her control.She felt like a raft tossed by the tides, with an uncertain destination.Did no one care about what she thought or wanted?For instance, what on earth was she supposed to do at the wedding of her cousin who hated her, from the family that had expelled her?“Mom, of all the proud people, I thought you would have your pride.” Briana shook her head, incredulous at Nadir’s attitude.“At least I have pride, unlike you.” Nadir placed her hands on her hips. “I would never have looked at that poor guy, no matter how handsome and fit he is.”“Do you really think that’s the only reason I married him?” Briana crossed her arms.“Isn’t it, friend?” Luana asked, taking the opportunity. “Tell us, then, what motivated you to marry him.”Briana shot a fierce look at Luana, feeling like she was being questioned again.No matter what, they would never know the damn story about her being drugged!Sandro, shaking his hea
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 65 No Wedding Arrangements
Mark, still busy with the rescue of Agent 12, kept his phone turned off.After all, he had already given precise instructions to Linda Mattes.He didn’t want anyone to notice and track Briana’s call.If the enemy lines discovered that he was married...Linda, in the office where she monitored the situation, watched the scene with a frown. It was time to do something.“They won’t give up. I need to do what Lord Ferro instructed.” Linda picked up the phone.Meanwhile, at Sandro’s apartment, Briana seemed frozen in the living room.Where was her wedding dress?Mark had promised to take care of everything, but the truth was that he hadn’t kept her informed about any preparations.Luana returned from Briana’s room, this time no longer hiding her smirking smile.“There’s no wedding dress, is there?”“No.” Briana was forced to admit, gritting her teeth.“So there’s nothing more to discuss. Let’s go to your cousin’s wedding.” Luana didn’t suggest; her tone indicated an order.Briana scanned L
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 66 Go to Your Cousin's Party
“Hello, am I speaking with Mrs. Ferro?”Briana couldn’t believe she didn’t have a heart attack at that moment.An unknown number was looking for MRS. FERRO! How was that possible?Clinging to hope like it was a light at the end of the tunnel, Briana nearly fused the phone to her ear.“Are you with Mark? Where is he? Put him on the line NOW!”“Mrs. Ferro, please remain calm. I’m calling only to inform you that you need to wait patiently at your Cousin Katrina Vasconcelos’s party, soon to be Mrs. James Ross.”“Who are you? How do you know Mark?” Briana didn’t want to know anything else.She just wanted two minutes with Mark to curse out everything that was stuck in her throat!How could he disappear and leave her in the dark? That’s unacceptable!Linda, strictly following Mark’s instructions, continued, “Mrs. Ferro, it is imperative that you wait at the Rocha Event Hall."Please, don’t complicate things. I’m simply relaying the instructions I received.”Without further ado, Linda ended
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 67 Wearing White?
Briana clutched the phone as if she were strangling her own parents.But it wasn’t just them. She began to feel suspicion and displeasure at how Mark was handling the situation.Okay, he’s planning a surprise for her? But why did it have to be like this?Leaving the apartment unseen, leaving a note that didn’t explain anything, letting everyone think he’s hiding because he couldn’t honor the bet...Why did Mark have to make the bet in the first place?If Briana goes to Katrina and James’s wedding, isn’t she just asking to be further humiliated?Luana, once again trying to be the comforting friend, placed her hand on Briana’s right shoulder. “Friend, you have two choices: stay here in the apartment and stew over a marriage that was never meant to be, or go to your cousin’s wedding and honor the bet that your failed husband didn’t have the guts to.“At least you’ll show that you have honor. I’m sure that if you have a proper talk with your grandmother, she might even forgive you and rei
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 68 Long Time No Talk
Mark decides that the moment is safe to make a call.He is in an abandoned building in the isolated area of Braspolis, along with the commanders who are assisting in the rescue of Agent 12.They are in a long negotiation. The head of the espionage team is managing the conditions over the phone while his assistants monitor everything on computers, recording audio and examining any suspicious movements from the enemy.Due to the nerve-wracking and extreme situation, Mark hadn't dared to even keep his phone on, but now he could at least call Linda.Linda answers at her office, "Lord Ferro?""How are things?" he asks seriously."I sent the message. I had to do it because Lady Ferro was feeling down and coerced," Linda reports with concern."I need her to wait for me. And what about the guests?"Linda smiles with satisfaction. "I pushed a bit more, and several decided to attend even with the last-minute invitation."The Aurélia Cathedral is being prepared in full swing. It will be on time,
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 69 It Could Be a Trap
Althea softened her voice and spoke in a tone that reminded Briana of her childhood."Briana, please. At least this time, can we celebrate a family occasion? Forget that it's your cousin's wedding. Let's forget the animosities."Your parents are here and they're even getting along. I'm sure it will be good for you to take your mind off your problems for a bit.""And how do you know I'm going through problems?" Briana asked, not as convinced as Althea hoped."I'm not referring to that. We all go through problems." Althea quickly corrects herself. "Today I want the family gathered to celebrate an intimate occasion."Since Briana was already convinced, she gave a slight smile. "Okay, Grandma Althea. I'm coming, and I'm bringing Luana Barros with me.""Feel free to bring her along. See you soon."The two women say their goodbyes and hang up.Luana approaches Briana. "I called a taxi while you were talking to your dear grandmother.""Do you still want me to wear white?" Briana raises her e
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 70 Chocolate-Based Shampoo
Briana and Luana arrive at the Rocha Event Hall.They are stunned by the Victorian-style hall and the large crowd of guests. They can recognize several influential people and celebrities among the buzz.After all, the Vasconcelos family still held significant importance in Braspolis, and no one wanted to miss this wedding.One of Linda Mattes' challenges in convincing people to attend Mark and Briana's wedding was the fact that Katrina and James's wedding was happening on the same day.The bet was a matter kept only among the interested parties. But James and Katrina were confident they would win.Katrina retreated to the bridal suite, where she was now receiving special treatment.Hairdressers, makeup artists, and a few friends were present as she was styled, made up, and pampered for what promised to be the happiest day of her life.For instance, while she was getting a chocolate-based hair treatment, a professional was massaging her feet."Oh, I'm so happy!" Katrina smiled with her

Chapter 511 Mary Ellen Woke Up
Under the blazing midday sun, the blue facade of the Hospital Geral Braspolis stood resolute, the image briefly stabilizing on its exterior before drawing us inside to the bustling corridor.Mark strode purposefully down the hallway, flanked by ‘Dr.’ Vargas and a few men clad in gray. No one questioned why he needed an escort or who those men were — it was simply accepted as part of the scene.As Mark turned a corner, he came face-to-face with Celia, who stood anxiously outside a glass-paneled room, her gaze fixated on what lay beyond.From her point of view, a nurse inside was monitoring Mary Ellen’s heart rate, her lips curved in a small, approving smile.“Celia...” Mark’s voice softened at the sight of her.“Mark!” Celia beamed. “She woke up! Oh, I’m so happy...”They embraced warmly, a reunion captured by a nearby photographer who had been lying in wait with a reporter.A flash. Then stillness. The moment froze — Mark and Celia locked in a tender hug.The hug eventually ended. Mar
Chapter 510 Katrina’s Decision
Inside Mark’s office, Karl was already pacing around his desk, eyebrows furrowed in outrage. The scandal involving Luana had clearly pushed him to the edge.“This is absurd!” he snapped. “That photo makes it look like Luana caused some irreversible brain damage!”Ribeiro, sitting nearby, raised a brow and countered coldly, “So you’re saying you’d only care if it had caused brain damage, Mr. Carvalho?”“Ugh, no!” Karl growled. Then, gesturing toward Mark, he added, “See? He twists everything I say!”Mark, ever the composed mediator, raised a calming hand. “Karl, Sergeant Ribeiro is just trying to help. You and Luana need to understand the consequences of your actions.”“I tried to stop Luana!” Karl protested.“But it wasn’t enough!” Ribeiro barked back. “You’re only dominant with her in bed, just enough to make her lose the ability to walk?”The fury in Karl’s face was volcanic, his lips quivering with words he hadn’t yet unleashed.Then, as if by divine intervention, Mark’s cell phone
Chapter 509 You Can’t Buy Happiness
At Vasconcelos Company, in Gilson’s office, he and Claudia sat surrounded by papers. They were reviewing all of Briana’s promoted shows, deciding which to cancel.A stack of printed programs lay between them. Despite boasting excellent viewership ratings, nearly every single show had been crossed out with aggressive red pen strokes — driven more by personal spite than professional logic.“I wonder if my brother finally stopped fooling around and came to work,” Gilson muttered, squinting at the paperwork.Claudia slammed her hand down on the desk, scattering documents and breaking one of her perfectly manicured nails.“Forget those perverts, my love!” she snapped. “Don’t you see we have a golden opportunity here?”Gilson leaned forward, narrowing his eyes. “You’re right. While no one’s paying attention, we can axe all these shows no one watches.”At that moment, Katrina stormed in and slammed the door shut with a loud bang, sighing heavily.“Hello, darling,” Claudia greeted, almost as
Chapter 508 James Got a Job
Left alone with Briana, Luana adopted a smug, confident posture. “Brie, good morning. What’s on the agenda?”“You had a lot to do yesterday after lunch,” Briana said icily. “But no one could find you.”“I was home. Being protected. By my boyfriend.”Briana shook her head slowly, seeing right through that excuse. “Mark tried visiting. He heard your screaming and... other noises from the hallway. So tell me, did that help at all?”Luana crossed her arms. “I just came from the precinct. I was honest and real with the sergeant.”“Did you say you were sorry?”“NO!” Luana scoffed. “I said everything I’d been choking on for weeks!”Briana looked stunned, horrified by Luana’s complete lack of self-awareness.******Just a few doors away inside Mark’s office, Karl had approached the door but paused as he heard voices inside. It was Ribeiro, speaking with Mark.“She didn’t express regret?” Mark asked, clearly troubled.“It’s complicated, Mr. Ferro,” Ribeiro said. “Your wife’s friend may be faci
Chapter 507 The New Sponsor
After Nestor exited, slamming the door behind him, Claudia turned to Gilson, practically seething with envy.“Sweetheart, don’t you think those two—”“No, dear!” Gilson interrupted quickly. “Don’t picture my brother doing that. Gross!”“I’m not picturing him, I’m picturing her,” Claudia shot back bitterly. “As annoying as she is, I seriously doubt your brother can keep up with her in bed.”Gilson reached for his phone. “I’ll check.”Determined not to let Sandro and Nadir win even in the realm of intimacy, he dialed their mansion.Moments later, in the hallway of the Vasconcelos Mansion, the butler stood awkwardly outside the Sandro’s suite, phone pressed to his ear and cheeks flushed in embarrassment.“Young Mr. Vasconcelos,” the butler stammered, “I’m not sure I should answer such a thing...”From behind the closed door came unmistakable sounds: creaking bedsprings, rhythmic thudding against the wall, Nadir’s giggles, and Sandro’s animalistic growls.Back in Gilson’s office, the CEO
Chapter 506 Lord Ferro, as Always, Was in Control
Over at the dusty studios of Pratt Entertainment that same morning, James and Armando were eyeing Ray with suspicion. He was creeping around the space like he didn’t belong there — which he didn’t. Still, Ray flashed a goofy smile, pretending to be clueless.“Hey,” he said, shrugging, “you guys been reading too many of those son-in-law webnovels, huh?”James, clearly not in the mood, barked, “Cut the crap! You’re not even supposed to be here!”Armando chimed in, “You don’t even know what show you’re cast in.”Ray made a sweeping gesture toward the space. “Isn’t it around here?”“This was the set of Love Is the Cure,” Armando explained. “You’ve probably heard of that prime-time telenovela. We had to sell the rights just to afford groceries.”Ray gave a dramatic sigh. “Tough times. Well, now you can either buy it back or just make something new.”James’s tone was sour. “My dad’s got stacks of scripts ready to go. We don’t need relics from the past.”Ray raised his hands in surrender. “A
Chapter 505 Zero Remorse
At GLAMOUR headquarters, Briana pushed open the door to her office. It was empty, and she sighed softly.“Luana, you’re being missed...” she murmured to herself.Behind her, Karl appeared, dressed for once in a proper shirt and tie.“Hello, Briana.”She turned swiftly. “Karl! Where’s Luana?”Karl answered awkwardly, “She went to the police station. I’m sorry, Briana.”Briana moved toward her desk, her tone sharp. “She should be apologizing — to me, Celia, and Mary Ellen, who’s lying in a hospital bed right now.”“She lost her temper,” Karl tried to explain, voice low.“From what I’ve heard, she asked Mary Ellen if Celia was planning to sleep with you again.”Karl’s face flushed with shame. “A baseless question.”“Exactly,” Briana snapped. “That again implies it was premeditated. And knowing that the drugged coffee was meant for me, I feel personally offended that Luana’s bringing that up like it’s somehow Celia’s fault.”Her frown deepened as Karl looked away, swallowing his words.**
Chapter 504 Gilson and Claudia Don’t Give Up
Back at Vasconcelos Company, in Gilson’s office, the CEO was once again fiddling with the panels on his door, checking their alignment as if his life depended on it. Claudia sat on the couch nearby, reviewing a freshly updated list of internal changes set to affect the company.Unbeknownst to her, the very couch she sat on was the one where her supposedly faithful husband had defiled more than one assistant.“Darling,” she snapped, clearly irritated, “Forget the door for a second and listen to this!”Gilson turned, offended. “Why does no one respect my door? It has my name on it!”If people didn’t respect the CEO’s door, he reasoned, they didn’t respect the CEO.Claudia didn’t disagree. “Indeed, they don’t respect you! Look at the decisions Sandro and Nadir have made!”“Where are they, anyway?” Gilson demanded.******The answer was bouncing rhythmically beneath the covers of a king-sized bed, in Sandro’s suite. The entire bed shook with wild abandon as its two occupants — Sandro and
Chapter 503 Catching a Spy
Back at the Ferro House, still in the master suite, Briana set her phone down and began sponging her arms and shoulders, mulling over her father’s news.Moments later, Mark stepped into the bathroom, dressed in a sky-blue robe, gazing at her as if she were a goddess.“Good morning, my love,” he said tenderly.“Good morning. I just spoke to my father — right before my mother devoured him alive,” Briana quipped.Mark stiffened, a little embarrassed to be privy to his in-laws’ bedroom antics. “What did he say?”“They’re thinking about firing Katrina. Apparently, she finally showed her face at the mansion.”Mark sat beside the tub, running his fingers through her hair and brushing bits of foam from her skin. “You know, Katrina spent most of her time in Lagoon City spying on me. Ray Dixon showing up was like divine intervention — he distracted her.”Briana tilted her head, teasing. “It’s almost like you sent him there on purpose, sweetheart.”Mark hesitated. How could he possibly explain t
