Hélio was on the golf course with friends he had made over time. It was his turn to hit the ball, aiming to get it past the sand trap without sinking it in the infamous pond.

A golf course employee was already positioned, wearing only swim trunks, to retrieve lost balls.

“Come on, Hélio, you can do it!” his friends cheered.

Leonardo appeared and smiled sarcastically, waiting to see the opposite.

This time, Hélio chose the right club, struck the classic golfer’s pose, and…

THWACK!

The ball didn’t go straight into the hole but cleared the sand trap without dropping into the pond!

“Hooray!” Everyone supporting Hélio cheered. “With just one swing, the hole is yours, Hélio!”

“Thank you, thank you!” Hélio, smiling and satisfied, greeted his golf buddies.

While doing this, he caught a glimpse of Leonardo serious and frustrated that he wasn’t having fun at Hélio’s expense.

“Excuse me.” Hélio approached Leonardo. “Were you hoping I would fail spectacularly again?”

“My fun is your ru

    On the golf course, Hélio reacted furiously upon hearing Leonardo call his daughter a harlot. “Listen here, man, who do you think you are to—” “Oh, come on, man!” Leonardo gestured aristocratically. “Are you going to tell me that what we saw at my grandson’s wedding was normal? Didn’t you understand the message your daughter sent to Matt, Elaine, and all the guests?” Hélio shook his head. “The message your grandson understood is that Patty loves him and is fed up with Matt and Elaine.” Leonardo was flabbergasted. “You’re reacting as if you approve of such shamelessness!” Hélio tried reasoning with the businessman. “Look, if I had known what my daughter wanted to do, I would have stopped her. But it was Lawrence Vieira, the PR for Golden Letters, who egged her on. He’s a big fan of Matt and insists on calling your daughter ‘Mrs. Sterling.’ The longer time goes on, the more my daughter will regret this.” Leonardo sneered. “Of course she regrets it because she saw that her audacity

    Fernando walks into Ronaldo's office and finds his son looking as if he's emitting laser beams from his eyes, melting his phone. “Son, what are you reading that has you this furious?” Fernando closes the door, concerned. Ronaldo collects himself, taking a deep breath, finding his inner peace. “Phew... Dad, did you check your phone? Mom sent a text message and a photo.” Fernando quickly checks his phone. “We're busy managing the offshore platforms. Aloísio told me they're extracting more oil than we expected.” The excitement about excess profits faded when Fernando opened his wife's message. “What is this? Does Matt have that photo of Patty that came out in Urbano magazine framed in his living room? And with Elaine living there?” “Dad, now do you understand why Elaine completely lost it? Matt isn’t making it easy for her!” Ronaldo stands up abruptly. Fernando approaches Ronaldo, “Calm down, son! Don’t do anything stupid.” “I’m not doing anything; it’s Matt who doesn’t value his

    Ronaldo meets Patricia at the Siren restaurant, and his expression, once cloudy and somber, transforms into sunny and bright. Patricia has the power to eliminate any stress and discomfort from the men around her. “Hi, babe! Is it just me, or were you frowning?” Patricia greets him with a peck on his cheek. “It was work problems. We need more vessels to transport the excess oil that the platforms are collecting. It seems that, outside of our studies, we found a gigantic pocket!” Ronaldo leads Patricia to the table and they both sit. Patricia continues to smile. “I think it’s so cool when you’re focused on your work. As your wife, I promise to help you as much as I can.” “You’ll help us with the advertising campaigns my dad is planning.” Ronaldo caresses Patricia’s delicate hands. Those hands are so soft! The waiter comes with the menus, and they choose their dishes. “Sweetheart, while we wait,” Ronaldo takes out his phone, “Can you explain what this is?” Patricia looks at Ronald

    Evan watched Patricia's photo being consumed by the flames. “OK, Young Madam Sterling.” He turned to her with caustic irony. “I hope you know how to handle matters with Young Matthew.” “He is my husband. You should stick to your obligations.” Elaine responds arrogantly. “Don’t think you’ll have an easy life after this low act!” Evan retaliates, “Old Madame Sterling, if she were here—” SLAP! The sound of Elaine slapping Evan echoed through the living room. “I’ve never seen a servant be so disrespectful to the lady of the house!” Elaine shouted, “Get out of my sight!” Outraged beyond measure, Evan left. He didn’t even bother to tell Matthew. When he gets back from work, he will find the shattered pieces of the frame near the fireplace... Elaine, feeling relieved, grabbed her phone and made a call. At Blue Sea Mall, Liz was walking with shopping bags when she heard her phone ringing with a Madonna’s song ringtone. “Hello, Elaine?” She answered, worried, sitting down on a nearby

    Leonardo and Fernando discuss Ronaldo and Patricia, the big concern of the moment at Silva Oil Company. “Dad, you said you had an unpleasant conversation with Hélio Borges,” Fernando reminds him. “Oh, yes, but your son reacted with disgust. I can understand him now,” Leonardo scratches the back of his neck. “What did he say?” Fernando is curious. “Actually, it was me who provoked him, insinuating that Patty would cause a feud between cousins,” Leonardo confesses, somewhat awkwardly. “I didn’t know it was my other grandson who was causing the trouble.” “We need to be careful, Dad,” Fernando worries, intertwining his fingers. “Ron is in a fragile state of mind. If he even suspects that Patty is responding to Matt's flirtations, he won't be able to handle it this time. A nervous breakdown is the MINIMUM that can happen!” Leonardo grows anxious. “We can't let that happen! Sheila needs to help us!” Fernando sighs despondently. “Sheila will always support Matt. If Matt wants to have

    Andrade Clinic, dusk. Jacqueline approaches Linda, who is finishing her shift. Linda stands up and stretches her arms and back. “Ugh... Hello, Jacqueline. Are you leaving?” “Yes, it’s time to go home. Do you want a ride?” Jacqueline kindly asks. “You won’t want to give me a ride to Lion’s Den,” Linda hangs her head, embarrassed. “Why not? My brother always gave Matt a ride and never got mugged,” Jacqueline smiles charmingly. “But this time, there are two defenseless girls. While people know me, they don’t know you. Thank you, but I’ll take the bus,” Linda lifts her head, grateful. Andreia and Vicente appear hurried and distressed. “Oh, shit, the receptionist is leaving!” Vicente complains. Linda recognizes him. “You’re the pianist, the one who started without a shirt?” Andreia purses her lips. “Didn’t you recognize him from playing Chopin or Mozart?” “Oh, my bad, Mrs. Gouveia. Anyway, if you came to see your son, visiting hours are up,” Linda responds promptly, glancing at

    A storm is brewing in the living room of the Sterling Mansion. Matthew approaches the secretary. "Evan, where is Patty's picture frame? It was right here, where you're standing!" "I'm sorry, Young Matthew. I was negligent and deserve to be punished!" Evan bows deeply, ready to accept his punishment. Matthew, however, furrows his brow and clenches his fists in anger. "No, Evan. You are not to blame. Where is her?" "Young Matthew—" "WHERE IS HER?!" Jarbas stands up respectfully. "Young Madam Sterling is in your quarters, Young Matthew." Matthew doesn't waste any time. He spins on his heels and heads upstairs. "Jarbas, we must prepare for the worst. I need to call his grandparents!" Evan exclaims, filled with dread. "Let them enjoy their tropical islands, man!" Jarbas murmured, not caring one bit about what might happen to Elaine. "Then I'll call his mother." Evan takes out his phone and finds Sheila's number. On the other end, Sheila is returning from the Sterling Empire head

    At Silva Oil Company, Gustavo was handing over a conference report on the containers and barrels of crude oil that had been unloaded on a clipboard to Ronaldo. “Thank you, Gus.” “You’re welcome.” Gustavo couldn’t hold back. “So, Kirk Camargo is going to work at Golden Letters?” “That’s right.” Ronaldo kept his eyes on the clipboard, checking the numbers. “I was going to ask ‘who did he sleep with to get a spot there,’ but the answer would have to be Mrs. Elaine Sterling.” Ronaldo slammed the clipboard on his desk and stared fiercely at Gustavo. “I won’t allow that peon talk around here!” “HEY, no class prejudice, oh noble Mr. Silva!” Gustavo retorted mockingly. “Gus, why are you so bitter about Kirk leaving here? I thought my father explained the reason to you.” Ronaldo kept a frown. “I got it: he wants to keep us safe. The criminals who tried to kill him at Andrade Clinic could come by boat through the docks and attack us, mowing everyone down. At Golden Letters, no one woul

    Siren Restaurant, noon. Fernando and Liz meet for lunch and to have a calm conversation, as married couples often do. After speaking with Elaine, Liz was feeling down and wasn’t eating the shrimp salad appetizer. “Is the shrimp still dirty or bland, dear?” Fernando asked, concerned. Liz shook her head. “How do you manage it?” “Manage what?” “To make love to me while thinking I’m Patricia?” “SHHH!” Fernando gestured furiously, horrified. Liz smiled disdainfully. “Are you scared because I revealed your dark and disgusting secret?” “Dark and disgusting is your mind, your imagination!” Fernando replied through clenched teeth. “Huh? I can’t hear you.” Liz mocked. “You’re going to get yourself into serious trouble, Liz.” Fernando began to eat hurriedly. “Who’s going to get the whole family into trouble is you, nurturing forbidden desires for your son’s fiancée.” Liz commented casually, not caring if other patrons might be listening. “How do you expect me not to hate Patricia for

    Elaine and Liz continued to discuss their plan. “Did you expect to achieve something after falling onto the coffee table?” Liz asked. Elaine stood up and went to a table where a thermos was placed. While pouring two cups, she replied, “I need to confess something. The whole thing was my idea.” Liz’s eyes widened. “You... planned to fall onto my coffee table?” “It all happened so fast, more of an impulse than a plan,” Elaine responded, approaching her friend with the cups. Liz picked one of the cups, replying, “You were being pulled by the hair by Patricia, caught a glimpse of the coffee table, and decided to throw yourself onto it so that I would think it was Patricia who maliciously threw you onto it. That way, my reaction of horror and outrage would be genuine.” “Exactly, girl. That’s why I winked at you to calm down.” Elaine sat back down, balancing her cup in her left hand. “Elaine, you took a huge risk!” Liz was flabbergasted. “You could have hurt yourself badly, bleed to

Liz hurriedly closed the door as if it were necessary. Elaine continued, “I’ve called you several times.” “Sorry, friend. I wanted to visit you on Sunday, but I was busy.” Liz pulled out a chair and sat down. “That’s alright. I was discharged; it wasn’t anything serious.” Elaine winked. “Are you sure, friend?” Liz decided to take a chance and asked, “It seemed like I saw you wink at me...” “Yes, I was fine. You were so desperate, thinking I was going to bleed to death.” Elaine was carefree. “That’s what I thought.” Liz calmed down. “Still, I made sure to cause the biggest scene in the clinic’s lobby, blaming Patty for everything.” “And did it work?” Elaine’s eyes sparkled. “Not exactly.” Liz shook her head. “Our husbands showed up and killed my buzz.” Elaine’s excitement faded. “As always, Matt defending that shameless trou

    Silva Oil Company, Ronaldo’s office, around ten in the morning. Jackson explains to Ronaldo why Gustavo might not be suitable to be a model. “Gustavo is trying too hard, insisting too much, being inappropriate. That’s not how things work,” Jackson said with authority. “Take my case: I NEVER thought about being famous. All I wanted was to stay in my corner, posting my routine on social media. The thing is, people who make things happen discovered me, prepared me, and the rest you already know.” “I get it. When it’s meant to happen, it will happen. No rush, no anxiety – and without being a pain in the neck,” Ronaldo laughed. “Did he happen to approach you again?” “Patty ended up talking about Vasconcelos Fabrics, and he had that gleam in his eyes as if we had already made plans!” Jackson exclaimed, exasperated. Ronaldo lost some of his excitement. “Jackson, do you suspect that this Gustavo is getting too close to my fiancée?” “The guy really thinks he’s the best thing since sliced

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. It wasn’t worth all the drama and suffering,” Kirk replied honestly. “That’s good. Then you can continue from where you left off,” Leonardo smiled, relieved. “That’s about what I w

    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
