MONICA’S LIVING ROOM - DAYMonica is in full swing on her computer, it's Monday and she wants to start the week with greater productivity, unlike most Brazilians. However, her concentration goes to the swamp when she hears a knock on the door."If it's Fábia Peres, I'm not!"Fábio's voice from outside, "It also starts with 'F'."Surprised, Monica gets up, goes to the door, and opens it. Fábio passes by and enters with his eyes hard and cold."Fábio, did something happen?""Yes, it did. It happened that you let me down, Monica."Monica is on alert, she knows that a bomb is coming, "What happened? Did I do anything to you?""Not directly to me, but to my girlfriend, Fábia Peres. Your neighbor."Monica snorts, "Don't remind me that this girl is my neighbor.""I see that you do not get along. I understand; you are in your right. But, that doesn’t give you the right, Monica, to plant doubts in the mind of Fábia Peres, even more denigrating my character! Do you mean that for you I am so desp

MIRIAM’S BEDROOM - DAY Miriam is sleeping like a saint, even though it was late. She turns from side to side and smiles, she is dreaming. She begins to embrace herself, dreaming that she is embracing someone. "Oh, Carlos, hug me... Oh, Carlos, what huge arms you have... Oh..." Miriam wakes up, opens her eyes, and... ... Scream! She comes face to face with Monica. "I'm not who you expected, am I?" Monica asks jokingly. Miriam gets up, "Definitely not. I was dreaming of something much better." "And it’s this dream we need to talk about. Girl, you are so distracted that you left your door unlocked. What if a thief appears?" Miriam, dreamily, leans against the headboard, "Nothing is gonna happen to me while Carlos is in the neighborhood." "If you continue in this Glen Close style, he will move to Várzea do Nego, dear." Miriam scratches her eyes, "Monica, what's so important for you to take my morning breath?" "Dear, yesterday Carlos was going to Carina's house." Miriam has two

COR-DE-ROSA STATIONERY STOREAurélio enters. Rosa is at her post, the store is still empty."Good morning, Aurélio. Haven't you opened the cafeteria yet?""I had no customers, so I posted the 'I'll be right back' notice."Aurélio sees Monica's book among Rosa's things. She realizes it."It's a really good book. I need to congratulate her.""Yes, and in my eagerness to protect her, I came up against a problem. To fill in the ISBN document, I need Monica's data. And I don't have all of them.""Oh, Aurélio, what a pity..."Aurélio suddenly smiles, "But... this would be valid for the national territory. The registration that applies to Royal Hill is much easier! It doesn't ask for a lot of data. It asks for more data from the book and I was able to provide it. That's why I'm going to pay the fee!"Rosa reacts with relief, "Ah, Aurélio, what good news! At least here in Royal Hill, she is protected.""Yeah, but I better open the game for her and remind her of the national register. If they t

MALTHUS SNACK BAR - DAYJonas is jealous of Aurélio with Annie.Aurélio's face turns cold and he defends himself, "Jonas, now I understand you. And, son, I didn't give reasons—""Cut it out, old bastard! You don't fool me. Do you think I care about the fact that Annie comes here to eat your awful snacks? Of course not! Brazil is still capitalist; Annie is free to eat wherever she wants. The problem is not the cafeteria, it's the owner!"Aurélio responds more firmly, "Jonas, since you want to talk like a man, then I'll send you the message: stop insulting Annie!"Jonas got surprised and sarcastic, "Oh, look who's talking! Who's tainting her reputation? I saw you two at the pizzeria, through the windowpane! And who else saw you thought a lot of bullshit!""Stop being ridiculous, that I'm a father to her.""She already has a father, her name is Paulo!""I didn't say I am, I said AS a father, my affection for her, for all of you, is that of a father, an uncle."Jonas shakes his head and is

CASCAIS BAKERY - MORNINGRicardo is still sprawled on the floor, looking like a legitimate drunken Russian. Carina and Annie become terrified, somewhat comical; they think they killed the guy."Jesus Christ," Annie cries, "It was just what I needed! One death on my back!""He was the criminal and now we are going to jail!""Did Jonas's dad leave?""Oh, my friend, I hope he left, otherwise he kills you!""And Jonas was leaving right now..."The door opens and Monica appears. She comes happy, "Girls, I have good news!" She sees Ricardo, "But, what happened?"Annie tries to disguise it, "Falling drunk!""Ha, ha, ha, it's really funny, Annie! Monday morning, and is he like that? Vasco team lost of turn unless he's mourning."Carina answers in distress, "Our fault, Monica. He wanted to chat with me and I rejected him, I was very afraid of him. Annie saw my amazement and wanted to defend myself by throwing a bottle at him. Then he let me go, but now it's like that."Monica crosses her arms,

MIRIAM’S BEDROOMSandra breaks into Miriam's room, she was happier making her bed."Can I know what you were doing hugging your rival?"Miriam replies still staring at the mattress, "A good day to you too, dear!"Sandra wiggles and asks impatiently, "Miriam, tell me something: did you forgive Monica?"Miriam looks at Sandra, "I honestly don't understand the reason for your exasperation. And how did you know, were you spying on me?""They left the door wide open and I heard voices. I had to check.""You 'had'... You were just dying of curiosity; assume so you are more honest."Sandra becomes annoyed., "And then, you will answer me...""OK! Monica came here and assured me that she doesn't want anything to do with Carlos. And honestly, on Saturday, she didn't have the same strong reaction as Carina. We can discard her.""Are you sure about that?""Yes, she must be focused on Célio. I heard that she is writing a novel, I want to read it when it’s published.""Me too... But, I don't think i

MALTHUS SNACK BAREd goes into the snack bar like a hurricane. Aurélio already imagines what happened."Shouldn't you go straight home, Ed?"Ed asks as if he's able to punch someone, "Not before without questioning the miracle of multiplication. I asked for a cheese pastry—""That I didn't have...""And I received two minced meat pastries with a juicy broth!"Aurélio raises his hands to the sky, "Hallelujah, isn't it?""Look out the lightning, sinner!" Ed scolds him as a legitimate Priest, "Your hand will get leprosy and then I won't come to eat anymore. If Pizzaria De Luca sells cheese pizza, that's where I go."Aurélio does not understand.Ed goes on, "And now, how am I going to pay you for the pastries?""You don't have to pay me, just return the spare.""There is no spare because I ate them both! Why did you have to make the broth so juicy?"Aurélio laughs out loud, even the customers are frightened.MEDICAL POSTCarina goes on to talk to Ricardo, still embarrassed and demure.Rica

He hates it when Ricardo squanders wisdom, "Mr. Oliveira, if you are not going to accuse the girls or the girl; at least I'll have to disturb you. Even more with this thing that you said was your fault. I'll wait for your recovery and I'll wait for you at the police station. Do not wait until I pick you up. Excuse me."Carlos leaves.Annie asks, "So is this it? Am I forgiven?"Ricardo smiles, eyes closed, "Yes, Annie. Go back to the bakery that your boyfriend must be concerned about.""So I'm gone!" Annie hurries out.Monica yells at her, "Wait, Annie, I haven't even told you the news yet!"Monica, without think

Chapter 360 The end of a dream
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

Chapter 354 Time to revelation
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

Chapter 352 More pieces of evidence
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
