Rhodia River - In the stream of love Chapter 279 Monica is the queen
RICARDO'S LIVING ROOMRicardo enters the house, upset that he was unable to convince Cláudio to join him in the lawsuit against Carlos. When he sits on the sofa to relax and takes off his shoes to relieve his feet, Rubens and Penha rush in and barely let him breathe."Ricardo!" Penha exclaims, "We need to talk to you urgently!"Ricardo remains with his eyes closed, without giving much importance, "Now you caught me at a bad time. Two people dared to upset me.""We are upset." Rubens complains, "You don't understand the immensity of the trouble you were in with Monica."The name "Monica" removes Ricardo's peace of mind instantly. He opens his eyes. "Don't speak to me in the name of that unfortunate."Rubens gets closer to him, "And when were you going to tell me that the one who actually found out about the book was her boyfriend? And that she's dating a Dance?"Ricardo returns the inquiring look, "And how did you find that out?"Ricardo looks at Penha and then back at Rubens, realizin
Rhodia River - In the stream of love Chapter 280 The masterpiece
MONICA'S LIVING ROOM - AFTERNOONMonica barely believes that Ricardo had the nerve to ask her for help to sue Carlos, after the scandal of stealing her novel, having the content tampered with, wearing that cover with the model almost naked, and having it sold to all of Brazil without her consent.However, following Fábio's advice, Monica decided not to deal with him at the moment, nor to tell Carina. At least, until Fábio discovers more details about the life of this dishonest being that is at her home.Then she goes on talking as if none of this has happened; however, she told him to stand by the connected computer, where Ricardo realizes that she is working on her second book. That was Monica's way of letting him know that she didn't give up on her dream, and kind of a challenge for him to dare to try again.The provocation affected him: Ricardo is embarrassed every time he looks at the printed sheets, "So, Monica?"Monica, all-powerful, and enjoying the situation, decides to play h

COR-DE-ROSA STATIONERY - AFTERNOONPenha is beating Rosa because she gave Fábio her phone number. Rosa is sprawled on the floor, almost losing consciousness, the hardcover notebook made a mark on her face.For a moment Penha thinks about leaving, but when she sees Rosa move, she remains where she is and asks with contempt in her voice, "Haven't you died yet?"Still lying in the middle of the notebooks, Rosa manages to look at her with disbelief, "What is all this about?""Who permitted you to give my phone to your friend's boyfriend? Because it's obvious that you knew who he was!"Rosa joins forces to answer because talking is hurting due to the blows, "I don't know why you were so angry. What, did he disguise himself as someone interested in renting a kitchenette and set up an appointment with you?""Yes! And in this building, on top of that. He cheated on me. When we were inside and alone, he stopped acting and asked me every question... Without an escape, I ended up saying everythi

POLICE STATION - NIGHTMiriam has just told Carlos that Ricardo is putting together a team to collectively sue him.Carlos falls into the chair, stunned, "Really, Miriam? No, that can't be!""What are you thinking of doing, Carlos?"Carlos gets up again, "Well, what can I do? I have no idea! I barely had time to get a lawyer. I just received the subpoena... No, I don't know."Miriam feels sorry for Carlos, she wants to hug and comfort him, but she remembers that the two broke up."Oh, Carlos, what about me? I'm doing a little job as a photographer and earning a few bucks, but nothing enough to pay for a lawyer. And I get discouraged asking for a free one in the public defender's office if theirs is from the most expensive firm in the kingdom.""You will see they don't even dare to face a Cardozo. Well, the Internet was installed here, I had a few things to do, but I will start researching our enemy. Don't worry, Miriam." He starts to walk away, but stops and turns to her, "A ride home
Rhodia River - In the stream of love Chapter 283 Making amends
CASSIO’S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTThere is a knock at Cassio's door. He emerges from the room in shorts and without a shirt, drying his hair with a towel; he just got out of the shower. When he opens the door, it's Jonas on the other side. Cassio is slightly surprised."Jonas! Come in, buddy. How are you doing in the morning?"Jonas comes in with a slight smile, "Very well, Cassio. What about your job?"Cassio closes the door and puts the towel on his shoulders, gesturing for Jonas to sit in the armchair while he sits in another."Everyone asks me that like I'm in an important job. Well, I'm just a packer of goods. People shop and I put the products in plastic bags and say 'thanks for the preference'. That's it.""I am very happy that you have joined those who work honestly."Cassio lumps in his throat. Does he know about Wellington and Luís?"However," Jonas continues, "I came here to thank you for the effort.""For the effort?""Yes, for the effort to strengthen our bonds of friendship.
Rhodia River - In the stream of love Chapter 284 Fábia Peres's good deed
MIRIAM’S BEDROOM - DAYMiriam is concerned about accepting more help from Fábia Peres, this time the lawyer for her family to defend her."Miriam, please do not refuse my help. We have become friends and partners. I am revolted to hear Monica say those things so calmly. It seems that they are already counting on victory. And you have not told me anything. Do you think about dropping the towel?"Miriam goes to the dresser drawer and opens it. She takes out the ill-fated manila envelope, holds it as if the paper is contaminated, and hands it to Fábia. Fábia Peres takes the envelope, takes the sheets out, and reads the subpoena."Cardozo Lawyers. Wait, I know this firm."Miriam sighs desperately, "All the rich know it. Do you see my despair? I know these guys do everything they can to win. And the worst thing is that apparently, I have nothing in my favor.""What exactly did you do?"Miriam sits on the bed next to Fábia, "I, in an attack of jealousy, invaded Carina's studio and caught he
Rhodia River - In the stream of love Chapter 285 Is Aurélio sick?
CARINA STUDIO - DAYFábio pretends not to understand Carina's nervousness when she drops the brush on the floor, mentioning Ricardo as if they were not boyfriends."Did something happen, Carina?" He bends over and picks up the brush for her, "You suddenly went pale."Carina tries to compose herself, picks up the brush, and goes back to work."Sometimes I have these constant drops in blood pressure. I feel that no man will want me as a wife. No one wants a woman so fragile and feminine."Fábio holds his tongue in time not to speak nonsense! The truth is: he would like Monica to be calmer and more virtuous like Carina and Annie. This is the injustice of the world. Wonderful women like Carina and Annie always fall into the hands of bastards like Ricardo and Jonas. Why?"But, thanks anyway for the offer, Fábio." The painter continued, "I will think about the possibility.""Think about it. I'm going to leave the door open. If you need to, we are willing. Now, excuse me, I've already distur
Rhodia River - In the stream of love Chapter 286 Begging to the Queen Monica
MONICA'S LIVING ROOM - AFTERNOONMonica opens the door and accepts Fábio's visit. The printer is working, printing the last pages of her book."Hello, sweetheart," Fábio gives Monica a quick kiss, noting the printer, "So, is the second novel over?""Already!" Monica is thrilled, "Now I'm going to read, make notes, find some errors that I missed, and then print everything again. I think I'll have to stop by the stationery to buy more sheets."Fábio makes a huff as he remembers the stationery, "Remember to warn Rosa that she won’t have a copy. No one, not even me, will read this second book. I already told you that it makes no sense for everyone to read your book before it’s released. They will have to pay. No more working for free."Monica laughs but agrees with Fábio, "So, love, I've been thinking... After all, this confusion has passed, involving Carina's lawsuit against Miriam, I intend to launch my first novel, even if it’s only in our reign. For me to have at least a few bucks.""

BAKERY CASCAIS - DAYFábio enters the bakery and is amazed by what he sees: Monica prostrated in the chair, finishing crying, with Annie sitting next to her, comforting her and assuring her that she was not a bad friend for Carina. Jonas continues to serve customers, sometimes taking a look at both.Fábio approaches the two girls with concern, “Monica! What happened?”He kneels to her. Monica smiles slightly, touched by his concern, “It’s okay, Fábio. I was worse. I just remembered Carina and the worst step she’s going to take in her life.”“You are thinking about the lunch she has with the damn parents.”Annie explains, “It’s just that Monica is feeling guilty for not preventing Carina from going to that lunch.”Fábio caresses Monica’s hair, “My love, you tried, but Carina needs to make her decision. After all, everyone has to carry their load.”“She is going to suffer, Fábio. At least I asked her to keep an eye on the family. She could take advantage of the fact that she is going to

Chapter 359 The last chance for Carina
PENHA’S HOUSE - DAYEverybody took the day to ask Ricardo trick questions. However, he felt it was not the time to answer or lie to the inquirers.He just weaves his classic silly little smile and avoids the subject, “Calm down, Penha, you don’t need to create conspiracy theories. The guy disappears from the bar for three days without giving any satisfaction. I thought he moved out of the neighborhood. I didn’t understand the disappearance.”Penha narrows her eyes, hardly believing what she heard. He kidnaps Wellington and then asks “why did he disappear?”“I hope he disappears. I always thought he was too good for your business. You were in danger of being reported by him.”Penha already knew the truth, since Wellington had told her. She just teased Ricardo, as if she had fun with it. She wanted to see his reaction.Ricardo was more nervous, tense, taking a deep breath, and “counting to three” so as not to reveal himself more than he did at the Malthus snack bar. Not with Penha.“Any

MALTHUS SNACK BAR - DAYAurélio is teaching Luís how to properly serve customers. Wellington is sweeping. Nobody notices the window, where Ricardo is looking at the three with dismay.Ricardo goes back a few steps and enters the snack bar even with the “closed” sign on the door. The three men turn their attention to the door opening and closing and are surprised.“Ricardo?” the owner says, “We haven’t opened it yet, but we already have snacks in the showcase.”Ricardo looks with disgust at the snacks, “I don’t want to be a victim of the ‘Salmonella bar’ anymore. What are these two doing here?”Disgusted, Wellington drops the broom and approaches him, “You can ask us, directly. We are here!”Aurélio gestures for Wellington to calm down.Ricardo goes on talking, “And you, Wellington? Are you working here now? Aren’t you going back to the bar? Rubens is waiting for you until now!”Wellington looks at Aurélio in doubt, Aurélio responds affirmatively with a slight nod.“No, Ricardo, I won’

PENHA’S HOUSE - NIGHTPenha is disgusted by Ricardo’s unexpected visit just to ask if she is going to lunch tomorrow. Because she had no intention of going.Even with her clear body language: pouting, arms crossed and one foot hitting the ground, Ricardo does not undo the classic little silly smile.“Did you interrupt my movie... for this?”Ricardo sits in the armchair closest to the coffee table and puts his feet on top. Penha can see from the soles of one of his shoes that Ricardo stepped on ox feces.“Get those dirty feet off my coffee table!”“You haven’t confirmed me yet, sis. The dress that Carina chose is beautiful. Did you choose yours?”“Get outta my house now!”Ricardo threatens to rub his foot with his dirty shoe, showing that he knows the situation of his shoe.“Come on, sis, say yes! A family lunch, with dad and mom...”Penha is about to cry, she is very nervous. She just wants Ricardo to leave, “Please, Ricardo, stop this clowning! I’m not going to show up for lunch to h

PENHA HOUSE - NIGHTAfter Penha and Wellington cancel the lease agreement, the two say goodbye and Wellington leaves. Carlos leaves behind, without saying a single word, just smiled mysteriously at Penha, as if he knew she had just slept with Rubens.Then she takes a forgotten flannel in a corner and begins to try to clean the spilled coffee on the sofa, as it has practically dried, staining the fabric. Rubens, sensing the empty house, leaves the room furious and in long strides.Rubens takes Penha violently by the arm and makes her turn to him. Penha is startled by being taken by surprise and widens her eyes.“Hey, what are you doing?”“What did that kid come to do here?”Penha tries to get rid of Rubens, but he won’t let her go.“Let go of me! He just came to end the lease! He won’t be living in the kitchenette anymore!”“Did you send him to the bar today?”“I was so shocked by his decision that I didn’t even remember!”Rubens squeezes Penha’s arm tighter and she screams more, “You

WELLINGTON KITCHENETTE - DAYCarlos cornered Rosa asking her to explain to everyone how Penha is Ricardo’s sister. She gulps, nervous.Wellington looks at her more deeply than the others.Finally, she decided it was time to end the mysteries. She gets up to explain better, “Yes, people. It’s true. Ricardo is Penha’s younger brother. However, since they moved here and built the building, they have presented themselves as lovers.”“But, why is that disgusting lie?” Everybody notices Wellington’s afflicted and distressing tone.“Because Ricardo believes that by presenting himself as a boyfriend, he prevents other men from flirting and taking Penha to bed.”The girls are embarrassed.Annie blushes and asks, “Doesn’t Penha know how to simply say ‘no’ to the perverts?”“No. She deliberately accepts to sleep with anyone who invites her. She has a boyfriend who is in Europe doing a Master’s or Doctorate and doesn’t even dream that his darling is horning him.”Wellington is very ashamed of him

RHODIA AVENUE - AFTERNOONMore people gather to see Célio’s rescue, which hung in the window of Wellington’s kitchenette. Even Aurélio and his clients left the snack bar to see.“Guys, these windows... Who was the idiot who bought these big windows?”Monica, Sandra, and Annie exchange mocking gazes: they all imagined it was Ricardo’s idea with the masons.WELLINGTON’S KITCHENETTECarlos strides in and goes to the window.“Hang in there, boys!”With another strong man, it was easier to pull Célio back safely. When they finally succeed, he can hear the palms and cheers of those present from below. Célio runs to Wellington’s bathroom to throw up, he’s still scared.Wellington and Luís laugh out loud. Carlos then notices the boxes and suitcases, “Hey, what’s going on here?”Wellington stops laughing and announces to Carlos, “Officer, I’m moving out of here. I don’t think is right to live in the place where I have to pay rent for my kidnapper’s girlfriend.”Carlos smiles in understanding,

PENHA’S HOUSE - DAYPenha opens the door for Rubens, who hurries in and looks worried. She closes the door and signals him to sit down.“I was going to offer you coffee, but you need chamomile tea.”“This is no time for jokes, Penha! The situation is getting more complicated.”Penha purses her lips in indifference; everyday things are complicated. She sits in the other armchair, “Every day you live in confusion. You guys don’t seem to want to live in peace. And if I guess, it has to do with Monica and her friends.”Rubens doesn’t like the tone of Penha’s voice and replies harshly, “It has to do with that bastard Wellington who didn’t come to the bar neither Wednesday nor yesterday! What is he thinking?”Penha, on the outside, remains calm and indifferent; but inside, she is overflowing with relief. It was what she wanted most, for Wellington to get out of that snake’s nest, “You’ll see, he found a better job and couldn’t even tell you.”“We paid above the minimum!”Penha is irritated

MIRIAM’S ROOM - DAYMiriam is talking to Fábia Peres. The two got on well again after Sandra’s advice. Cleverly, Miriam leads the conversation to the topic of lawsuits.“Oh, Fábia, you don’t know the worst: I talked to Carlos and he said that he won’t insist on objecting to his fate at the trial. That he will acknowledge that he was wrong and accept the punishment.”Fábia Peres is gaping. Then the officer who always behaved like a warrior, dropping the towel so easily?“What does the officer have in mind, Miriam?”“He said he doesn’t mind losing the case, as long as he can get Ricardo behind bars. He’s gathering proofs and evidence.”“And is Carina going to marry this guy?”“Hopefully, she’ll fall flat on her face when she finds out the whole truth on her honeymoon, with the police invading their suite, ha, ha!”The two girls giggle maliciously.“Girl, on the subject of the trial, I’ve been thinking about something. If the officer is not offended, I can ask my father to pay the compen
