Chapter 1209 Nathan Is Coming
Carvalho leaned back in his chair, intrigued. “Well, that’s interesting! How did your son get himself involved in all this?”“He’s doing a favor for Nathan Gouveia and Kirk Camargo’s sister,” Hélio replied, lowering his voice as if even the walls might be listening.“Ah, of course...” Carvalho murmured. “Nathan is now Gustavo Alvares’s half-brother. He must have found out.”“Do you plan to do anything about it, Sergeant?”“If you give me some time, I can get a warrant,” Carvalho said.“I hope so. And hey, keep my report anonymous, alright?”Carvalho chuckled softly. “You got it. Thanks for the tip.”Hélio ended the call with a satisfied smile, the kind of satisfaction that came from believing he’d just fulfilled his civic duty.From the kitchen, Vanda appeared, wiping her hands on a dish towel.“I put the lasagna in the microwave,” she said. “So?”“Everything is fine, dear,” Hélio answered, turning to her with a proud grin. “Carvalho’s going to protect Jackson and Cindy.”“Good. Go ta
Chapter 1208 Cindy Arrives to Help
Kirk looked mortified, caught halfway between shame and exasperation as Nayla stood before him, arms crossed and one eyebrow arched high.It didn’t take a genius to guess what he’d been doing: he was flushed, sweating, wrapped only in a sheet, and very clearly coming straight from bed.“Seriously, Kirk,” she said, feigning disgust through laughter. “You really expect me to ask what’s happening here?”He rubbed the back of his neck, still catching his breath. “Do you really not know what’s happening?”“I don’t want the spicy details, gross!” she shot back, chuckling. “I just want to know since when you two had feelings for each other.”Kirk sighed. “I never thought she had eyes for me.”“But you did for her?”“Call it what you want: passion, desire, lust,” he admitted. “Elaine never left me indifferent.”Nayla’s eyes widened. “Wow. You two didn’t even wait a full day before jumping at each other, huh?”“It wasn’t planned!” he protested, defensive. “I didn’t even know she was here.”“We
Chapter 1207 Calling Reinforcements
Nayla froze mid-bite, her teeth sinking halfway into the apple as she turned her head toward Kirk’s bedroom door.The sounds coming from behind it — rhythmic, breathless, and unmistakable — made her eyes widen.Slowly, she rose from the couch, following the trail of discarded clothes that led down the hallway like breadcrumbs.Kirk’s jeans, a shirt, a belt... the whole scene spelled out one thing.When she peeked into her own room and saw Elaine’s bed empty, Nayla rolled her eyes in disbelief.“I don’t believe this,” she muttered.The noises grew louder, the creaking bed frame nearly keeping rhythm with the pounding of her pulse.Marching toward Kirk’s door, Nayla knocked firmly, without an ounce of hesitation.“Hey, lovebirds! Sorry to interrupt, but maybe you two should talk before you, uh, finish?”For a moment, the noises changed. It sounded less like passion and more like someone struggling to untangle themselves.Nayla raised a brow, listening.‘They can’t even separate, that’s
Chapter 1206 Heat in the Camargo Apartment
Elaine froze midstep, her eyes wide as saucers. In front of her stood the irresistible, sculpted, sinfully good-looking older brother of her best friend — and he was completely naked!Kirk should have covered himself, but shock rooted him to the floor. His jaw flexed; his breath hitched.The awkwardness of the moment hung heavy in the air, charged and forbidden.Then, as the initial shock dissolved, Elaine’s gaze began to travel — slow, deliberate, hungry — over the chiseled lines of his chest, down his taut abdomen, lingering on the unmistakable evidence of his manhood.A small, involuntary smile curved her lips, one of approval and temptation.Kirk’s expression darkened into something primal. The soldier, the predator in him, awakened.He looked at her not as an intruder, but as a woman, one whose presence ignited something raw and uncontrollable.Without another word, Kirk kicked the rest of his pants aside, seized Elaine by the waist, and dragged her into his bedroom. She let out
Chapter 1205 Suspicious Customers
The Happy Snack Bar was busier than usual that night. The air was thick with the sizzling of burgers and fries, the chatter of patrons, and the hurried shuffle of waiters struggling to keep up with orders.Gustavo moved behind the counter with the precision of habit, his sharp eyes watching over the rhythm of his small empire.The presence of Jackson Borges among the customers had everyone slightly on edge.The man was a model, a local celebrity of sorts, and though he behaved with calm politeness, accepting his fries, cheeseburger, and Coke Zero with an easy smile, his reputation brought a quiet tension to the room.“Enjoy your meal, Mr. Borges,” the waiter said with his usual charm.“Thank you,” Jackson replied, glancing around. “You’ve got quite the crowd tonight.”“By God’s grace,” the waiter said cheerfully before rushing off to another table.Jackson leaned back in his seat and pulled out his phone. Casually, he angled it as though to take a picture, but in truth his attention w
Chapter 1204 A Toast to the Future
Jacqueline and Walter arrived together at the Andrade Mansion after a long, exhausting day at work. In the vast marble vestibule, the ever-dutiful Gumercindo was waiting to greet them.“Good evening, Miss and Mr. Andrade,” he said with his usual formal politeness.“Good evening, Gumercindo,” Jacqueline replied, removing her coat. “How’s our father?”“Binge-watching Magnum P.I. and Hawaii Five-O,” the butler answered, completely straight-faced.Walter couldn’t help but laugh. “Let me guess: he’s watching the 1968 version, not the remake?”Jacqueline arched an eyebrow. “Are you calling our father old, Walt?”Even Gumercindo chuckled as he took Jacqueline’s purse and Walter’s jacket before retreating discreetly. Once he was gone, Walter’s smile faded, replaced by a more serious expression.“All right, sis,” he began, “what do you think we should do?”Jacqueline knew exactly what he meant. “About Linda? You have to protect her, no matter what.”“I don’t want to accept her resignation,” Wa
