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
Chapter 951 Still Getting to Know Each Other
Some days has passed. The city of Braspolis lay beneath the morning sun, promising a beautiful, clear day.At the Ferro House, Domitila was outside carrying bags of refuse to the appropriate container. Even outdoors, she couldn't escape the sounds emanating from an open window upstairs.The grunts and panting of Christopher, mingled with the wails and sobbing of Elara, echoed through the quiet morning, clearly indicating that their passionate tryst had resumed after a brief respite the night before.Domitila felt a blush creep to the roots of her hair, and she hurried along with her task, eager to be away from the embarrassing cacophony.Inside the Master Suite, Briana sat elegantly at her vanity, clad in a rich, wine-red robe, conferencing with Regis as she meticulously selected her makeup."How are our guests faring, Regis?" Briana asked, her eyes meeting his in the mirror.Regis shifted uncomfortably. “Lady Ferro... Perhaps you might speak with your cousin about keeping the window

Julian shook his head in disbelief as he walked beside Everton through the moonlit gardens of Ferro House.“She’s out of her mind,” he muttered. “I’ve met Mr. Vasconcelos. He’s no telenovela heartthrob, sure, but he’s far from ugly. And he strikes me as a decent husband. So why is she doing this?”Everton gave a lazy shrug. “Bored housewives.”Julian frowned. “She’s not a housewife. She works at the family company.”Before Everton could answer, a sound drifted down from an open window above them.Raw, animalistic male's grunts mingled with the creak of bedsprings and a woman’s teeth-grinding and desperate sobbing.Everton stopped dead, tilting his head toward the guest-room window where the noises spilled out into the night.“Uh… didn’t they only meet this afternoon?Julian’s cheeks burned. “Looks like the Vasconcelos family is in a hurry for an heir.”“And what about Lady Ferro and her cousin?” Everton asked, arching a brow.“Those babies won’t carry the Vasconcelos name the way Youn

“Who is the snitch?” Adalberto demanded.“It’s my best friend’s sister-in-law,” Addie explained. “Nadir is always speaking ill of that viper. Well, it seems she proved herself right!”Adalberto became even more concerned because he recognized the origin of the photo. He frowned deeply.“Where did she get this picture?” he asked.“How should I know? But she’ll certainly tell me tomorrow.”“Tomorrow?” Adalberto raised his eyebrows.“Sweet Aroma Café, 9:00 AM.” Addie pursed her lips.“Near the Glamour Studios. Be careful, Queen.”Adalberto got suspicious, thinking about the risk of Addie meeting someone they knew in an uncommon place.“Aw,” Addie smiled, touched. “Are you worried about me?”“Someone needs to be the man when yours is away, leaving you unprotected,” Adalberto said seductively.Addie and Adalberto exchanged caresses. When Adalberto least expected it, Addie shoved him, dragging him back toward his bedroom, slamming the door shut with a resounding thud.******Claudia, please
