Karl and Vicente continue to debate under the cold sea wind and the sound of waves crashing on the shore.

Vicente tries to reason with Karl. "Karl, listen to me. I know you're angry. I caused the accident because you were a pain and wouldn't let me live in peace with my wife. You were going to announce to the whole world that your sister is not Nate's mother. I panicked. I'm not a natural-born killer! When I found out you survived, did I try to kill you again?"

"No," Karl replied, still not emotionally engaged with the other's speech.

"Well, that means I'm not so cruel!" Vicente smiles like a used car salesman. "I had compassion. I arranged for you to be held captive. I offered you several chances to disappear from the city, from Brazil, but you refused. You always rejected my proposals."

"You must be joking if you think I should have listened to you back then!" Karl growls.

"OK, just listen to me this time: you have been following me and have seen for yourself that I no longer pose a

Vanda manages to control herself in time, "We came to keep Matt company, thinking he was alone after his grandparents left.""Ah, yes. Well, it just so happens that I got here first, and I believe he would prefer MY company," Elaine responds with an immoral smile."Have you moved in here?" Patricia asks with a grim expression.Elaine delights in Patricia's discomfort, "Is that any of your business, girl? You're living with Ron Silva, right? He's just as handsome and delicious as my Matt. You don't need to keep coming here to check on him."Patricia finally realizes what's going on.She shakes her head, "Wait a minute, you're not thinking that—""You came here, knowing

    Vicente entered the beach house completely relieved. His body was wet, but his clothes were dry.Andreia was washing the dishes and turned around."Did you swim in the sea again at this hour of the night?" She asked, noticing the difference in her husband."The advantage of the night is that no one walks on the sand at this time. I mean, even if they did, they wouldn't see me." Vicente, smiling too much, approached his wife and sniffed her neck."Ay, ay..." Andreia smiled and melted, "We're very happy today, huh? The walk and the dip in the sea did you good."Vicente let go of his wife, "Yes, the walk did me good.""Good enough to finally tell me what secret has been bothering you?" Andreia closed the tap and turned to her husband.She realized, with displeasure, that Vicente's wide smile wilted like a flower."Oh no... Here we go again!" Andreia complained, drying her hands with a towel, "My dear, I thought whatever was bothering you stayed in the sea when you swam naked!""How do yo

Too bad Patty didn't leave any clothes behind. And I wouldn't fit into Alice's clothes either.""My grandmother's clothes would be too big on you," Matthew remarks, intrigued by the mention."I know, but I didn't want to call her fat."

He asks gently."I was coming down like this when I had the incredible coincidence of running into visitors." Elaine looks up, fearful of Matthew's reaction.Matthew raises his eyebrows. "That's not like you, Elaine. What happened?""The visitors are the Borges family, minus Jackson," Elaine answers, carefully analyzing Matthew's body language.Matthew shivers upon receiving this info

    Cindy is tired of quarrelling among grown men.She takes a deep breath and continues to reason, "Jackson, there's nothing to fear. Nate will be staying here for a few days while he looks for accommodation.""Why doesn't he just stay with his parents?" Jackson smirks mockingly."You just answered your own question," Nathan states with a furrowed brow, "It's my parents' beach house. I want to have my space again, like before Matt came into my life."Cindy rolls her eyes. "I hope during your stay here, you'll forget this 'everything was perfect before Matt showed up' narrative, otherwise, my parents will kick you out due to sheer boredom."Nathan swallows his pride for a moment. "Okay, Cindy. I promise. You and your parents aren't to blame."Cindy turns to her boyfriend. "And as for you, dear, remember Nate is my boss, and I have a good friendship with his parents.""Then I won't be submitting my resume to Urbano.

    At Sterling Mansion, Matthew felt slightly offended by how quickly Ronaldo appeared to take Patricia away."Ron, good evening. Glad you could join us for dinner."Ronaldo chuckles confidently, smiling as he approaches Patricia without showing desperation to pull her away from her cousin. "You misunderstood, Matt. Patty called me, asking to take her to the penthouse."Matthew, however, can't hide his anxiety. "That's not necessary. Patty is always welcome at the mansion. If Elaine has made her feel otherwise, I'm deeply sorry."Patricia swallows hard. "Matt, maybe another time we can have dinner together. I think Elaine was upset because we arrived last minute without notice."Hélio interjects, "But what does Elaine have to be upset about? She doesn't live here, according to Matt!"Ronaldo continues good-naturedly, understanding Elaine is acting jealous without reason."Come on, dear. Let's stick to your original plan. Matt will have to coordinate with his fiancée next time to avoid th

    Matthew manages to have dinner with Elaine, Hélio, and Vanda.Elaine had returned to being her usual friendly self solely because Patricia had left."And so, folks, how's your lasagna?" Matthew asked, taking Abner's seat."It's very good, Matt. Thank you very much," Hélio smiled gently, dabbing his lips with a napkin.Elaine, seated in Alice's chair, took a sip of wine. "It's a shame Patricia couldn't stay. As I was coming down the stairs, I saw her with Ron Silva. I thought they were going to stay."Hélio's smile vanished. Vanda preferred to speak on Patricia's behalf."My daughter thought it best to leave.""Nonsense," Matthew quickly retorted, "I repeat: Patty is welcome anytime.""MATT!" Elaine was taken aback, her wine glass still in the air.Hélio lowered his head, suppressing a laugh."Elaine, I'll send you the first drafts of my second novel to your email," Vanda tried to change the subject.Elaine looked uneasy. "Vanda, I've been thinking... I don't think it will be right for

Fernando and Marta had already left. “KIRK!” Leonardo abruptly stood up from his desk. “How are you, my young man!” “Mr. Silva?” Kirk was surprised by such reverence. “I didn’t know you cared so much about me...” “Cut the small talk! You just had a seizure and looked like you were going to die in my company,” Leonardo gestured for the employee to sit down. “Now I want to know all the details. Don’t hide anything from this curious old man.” Kirk smiled and sat down. “Well, sir, there’s not much to tell. I was stupid enough to fall for the siren’s song.” “In this case, the cocaine song, right?” Leonardo leaned forward. “What do you intend to do from here on out?” “Obviously, I promised myself and my family that I wouldn’t use that cr*p anymore.

    In Urbano Magazine, Cindy returned with the printed sheet, extending it to Andreia. “Read this not-so-pretentious article, my friend,” Cindy declared. Andreia took the paper and read it. A smile formed at the right corner of her mouth. “Cool... nothing so blatantly accusatory, but clear enough for any semi-literate person to understand that Elaine knocked over that pyramid of champagne glasses, causing a scene at the book signing.” “Of course, I won’t say she did it because the honored author was her enemy’s mother,” Cindy replied mischievously. “You don’t want to risk Matt’s wrath.” Andreia stood up, a bit slowly due to her pregnancy. “Speaking of which, how did he react after your dad’s video?” “I didn’t bring it up with him,” Cindy shook her head. “If I mention it, people will say I still love him.” “And you don’t want to do anything to ruin your relationship with Jackson,” Andreia repeated. “Cindy, it’s commendable that you’re more committed and focused on having someone in

    Fernando appeared in the kitchen wearing gray sweatpants. Liz, who was sour and bitter, smiled pathetically with her gaze fixed on her husband’s pants. “Good morning, son. What’s new?” Ronaldo replied rudely, “The news is seeing my mother still able to walk!” “RON!” Liz was startled. Fernando shook his head. “Son, don’t be disrespectful. Your mother and I are trying to be as discreet as possible.” Ronaldo shot back, “Just missing discretion when discussing my fiancée, huh? Can we talk about that now?” Liz pursed her lips. “I was so happy when I woke up, but you made sure to ruin my day.” “Mom, we can’t avoid the obvious!” Ronaldo turned to Fernando. “Matt told me that Elaine was reprimanded.” “And I will never agree to that!” Liz shouted. “Elaine was a victim of that tough girl from the slums! She could have died from a cut to her jugular!” “But Elaine provoked Patty’s wrath by saying those nasty things,” Fernando reasoned as he served himself breakfast. “Couldn’t Patricia a

    Silva Penthouse, Monday morning. Ronaldo was walking down the hallway to the kitchen in just his boxer shorts when the suite door opened. Liz was smiling a little too much, looking like she was about to dance ballet. “Mom! Long time no see!” “Yes, son, I had a wonderful time with your father!” Liz replied suggestively. Ronaldo blushed to the roots of his hair. “Is breakfast ready?” she asked casually. “I was about to check,” Ronaldo said, heading to the kitchen. There, the coffee maker was already brewing coffee. “Nando must have prepared it in advance.” Liz took bread and butter from the fridge. Ronaldo, cautious, sat down at the table. He noticed a tear in Liz’s nightgown. “Mom, did you and Dad make up this Sunday?” “We can say he’s no longer in love with your fiancée,” Liz replied with a mischievous smile. “Mom, stop talking about that disgusting stuff!” Ronaldo frowned. “This is all your sick imagination.” Liz simply shrugged, sitting down at the table as well. “You’r

The truth about Bella and Nathan’s relationship was something horrifying and incredible for her to digest. “Oh my God... how did these two families let this issue intertwine like this?” Nayla was at the reception desk, smiling, waiting for Elaine to approach. But when she realized Elaine was going to walk past her, Nayla called out loudly, “ELAINE?” Elaine stopped suddenly and looked at her friend. “Oh, Nayla, I’m sorry...” “Don’t worry. I know you must be going through a lot of pressure.” Nayla stood up. “I really am. But I always have time for my friends.” Elaine smiled and approached, trying to distract her mind. “I wanted to know if there are any openings here at Golden Letters for my brother.” Nayla asked respectfully. Elaine’s smile vanished with the wind. As Nayla’s boss, she knew who the brother was. “Nayla, we’re friends, but you know I have a strong opinion against drug use and sales.” Elaine replied in a boss t

Don’t hesitate just because the troublemaker is someone from an important family. This is a hospital clinic, not a zoo, so I demand order in the lobby. A disturbance can jeopardize the patients who are waiting for care, and I don’t want to compromise anyone’s safety, understood?” “Yes, Mr. Andrade!” everyone responded in unison. “Okay, everyone can return to your posts.” The staff went back to work. Linda gave Walter a brief kiss before leaving. “Linda, I need to ask you a quick question,” Emmanuelle called her back. Linda paused, closing the door after the last person left. “Did you check with your parents if it’s safe to go home?” “No, Emmanuelle. The conversation with Gus was so good that I forgot

    In Matthew’s suite, he was now buttoning the cuffs of his genuine cotton dress shirt. Elaine had also gotten out of the bathtub, unable to continue relaxing, and was now putting on her work suit.The memory of the Golden Letters prompted Matthew to strike up a conversation. “Did you remove a glass from the base of the pyramid?” Elaine stared at Matthew as if he were the devil. “What? How can you throw a question like that out of nowhere?” “I just asked a question, woman, answer me.” Elaine shook her head as she walked to the sofa to put on her high heels. “This is inconceivable. Your mind is always revolving around Patricia’s issues. You never forget her, and then tell me I don’t need to worry.” “Was the champagne glass pyramid made for an occasion involving Patricia?” Matthew countered logically. “No, but it was her mother’s book signing.” Elaine angrily slipped on her shoes. “Well, I remembered that many claimed the embarrassment happened because someone removed a glass from

    Monday. Elaine was relaxing in the bathtub of her husband’s suite. Matthew stepped out of the shower stall, drying his hair with a white towel as he walked to the double sink. The sight of Matthew’s exposed body startled Elaine for a few seconds, but then she took advantage of the beautiful view, smiling mischievously. “It hardly feels like it’s Monday,” she commented casually. Matthew was washing his face as he said, “Yes, it’s Monday, the day to take care of important things after we relax our nerves on Sunday.” Elaine pursed her lips and retorted, “If I relaxed my nerves, it’s because they were in shambles. It’s not like me to live in constant stress, darling. I might not get the chance to calm down in the future.” Matthew turned off the faucet and grabbed a face towel. “Are you saying you would be willing to reduce your contact with Aunt Liz?” Elaine could no longer relax. “What does that mean?” Matthew tossed the towel onto the sink and turned to his wife. “I don’t like t

    In the Silva Penthouse, Liz took advantage of the wreckage of the coffee table to create more drama. “Here we have it, darling! The COFFEE TABLE is SHATTERED with Elaine’s body thanks to Patty—” “SHUT UP!” Fernando slammed the door shut. Liz trembled in panic, staring wide-eyed at her furious husband. “But what is this? Why are you angry with me, darling, when you should be furious with Patty—” “I command silence, and you keep babbling even more!” Fernando went to the utility room to grab a broom. Liz quickly grabbed her phone and took a picture of the shattered coffee table. Maybe this will come in handy for her in the future... “So, what are we going to do about this?” Liz shouted for Fernando to hear. Fernando returned with a broom and a dustpan in hand. “Don’t tell me you’re going to sweep this up!” Liz reacted horrified. “Let the maid clean it up on Monday!” “I won’t have a living room full of glass shards until Monday. I want to watch TV tomorrow!” Fernando’s ferocity
