Just then, Jackson’s phone rings again. He glances at the screen: “Father-in-law.”

He groans, “I really need to change this name or just block the number.” Still, he answers.

“Hello, father-in-law!”

On the other end, in the Cardoso family house, Germano scowls.

“What the hell is this, Jackson?” he snaps.

Jackson responds sarcastically, “Oh, that’s just the name saved in my contacts. Should I change it to ‘annoying old man’?”

Germano’s voice sharpens. “How about ‘savior of his daughter’?”

Jackson sits up, his tone incredulous. “Wow, Germano. I can’t believe you’ve sunk this low.”

“What did I do?” Germano replies, his voice oozing fake innocence. “Does protecting my daughter make you nervous? Maybe I was wrong to trust you as her future husband.”

Jackson’s patience snaps. “I love your daughter!”

“Loved, past tense,” Germano corrects coldly. “And even if you did, all you really wanted was a carnal, immoral relationship. You got what you wanted, so why bother marrying her?”

    Andreia entered the beach house, her smile betraying the exhaustion from another long day of work. In the background, the soft notes of a Chopin classic filled the room as Vicente played the piano.“Good evening, darling! How was work?” Vicente greeted her warmly.Andreia collapsed onto the sofa, sighing. “Exhausting! I miss Cindy a lot. I really need her to come back tomorrow and help me out.”Vicente nodded, understanding. “I believe she got the message.”“I had to knock on her parents’ door to ask!” Andreia replied, exasperated.Just then, Nathan stepped out of his room, looking sharp for his date with Bella.His hair was slicked back, he was clean-shaven, and dressed in new clothes, all while wearing cologne that Andreia knew the ladies adored.Vicente couldn’t help but be impressed. “WOW! Son, you’re going to make an impression!”“Nate, you look very dapper!” Andreia added with a smile.Proud of himself, Nathan grinned. “Thanks, Mom and Dad. Your encouragement means a lot.”“Whic

    Walter and Linda continued walking along the beach, their feet sinking into the warm sand as they watched the sun dip below the horizon.The beach was slowly emptying as families packed up their belongings, making sure not to leave any trash behind. A few young men struggled against the rough tide, while children finished their popsicles or other snacks. Nearby, a line formed at the showers, where beachgoers rinsed off the salt and sand from their bodies.Linda’s eyes drifted to Walter, who had already taken off his shirt and stuffed it into his pocket. That familiar action gave her the certainty that he was freeballing.“Walter,” Linda began hesitantly, “Don’t you like to wear und—”Walter, seemingly distracted by the scenery, cut her off. “The sunset is beautiful, isn’t it?”Linda sighed. “Yeah, it is...”Realizing his mistake, Walter turned to her. “Did you want to ask me something?”Linda’s face flushed deeply. She hesitated but shifted the topic. “I wanted to know how we stand. Y

    Germano sat at his desk, frowning as he waited on the phone to talk to Hélio. Zilda walked into the room.“For the second time, you walk in while I’m on the phone, woman,” Germano muttered, his frustration obvious.Zilda didn’t flinch. “I want to know how the conversation went.”“What exactly did you tell our daughter?” Germano demanded.“Exactly what you and Hélio agreed on,” Zilda replied calmly. “Of course, she got furious, but I couldn’t tell her the real reason.”“Neither could I,” Germano sighed. “Now she wants to leave our house and move in with Jackson!”“Maybe that’s for the best,” Zilda countered. “That way, we can all just take care of our own lives.”Germano shook his head. “It’s not that simple, Zilda—” He was interrupted by a voice on the phone. “Hello, Hélio!”Meanwhile, on the other end of the line, Hélio answered, equally agitated. “What is it, man?”“We need to update each other on our situation!” Germano insisted.Hélio sighed, irritated. “What situation?

    Bella hurried through the parking lot, her phone pressed to her ear as she anxiously waited for Nathan to pick up.“Hello, sweetheart! Where are you?” Nathan’s voice came through the line.“Honey, I’m almost there,” she said, slightly breathless. “I’m in the parking lot!”“I’ll wait for you at the entrance!” Nathan replied.Feeling relieved, Bella hung up.Her pace suddenly slowed down as her eyes caught sight of something in the distance.She squinted and recognized two familiar figures, Linda and Walter, getting into his car. Bella’s lips curled into a mischievous smile.“So that’s why she wasn’t coming home!” she muttered, half amused.Just as she was about to call out to Linda, Walter started the car and drove toward the chestnut trees. Bella couldn’t help but laugh quietly to herself.“Linda, you naughty one! Off to the chestnut trees with your man, huh? And here I am, always being called the perverted one!”With renewed determination, she strutted toward the Happy Snack Bar, rea

    Inside the bustling Happy Snack Bar, the beautiful young woman approached the counter where Clayton was working. She leaned forward slightly and spoke in a soft, curious tone.“Excuse me, sir...”Clayton, ever ready with a friendly smile, replied, “Clay Saldanha, at your service.”She pointed discreetly toward a man seated nearby. “Do you know who that man is, having a snack alone?”Clayton glanced over, recognizing Nathan fiddling with his phone. “That’s Nathan Gouveia. He’s well-known around here. He came in with the same girl he was with during the accident.”The woman looked puzzled. “I didn’t hear about that.”Clayton chuckled and leaned in conspiratorially. “No? He was driving drunk, totally out of control. Their car ended up in the ocean. If it weren’t for a few customers who jumped in to save them, they would’ve drowned.”“Wow,” she said, her eyes widening. “And they’re still seeing each other after that?”“Must be love,” Clayton mused. “Tragedy brings people together.”The wo

    At the Silva Penthouse, Liz and Fernando were relaxing on the couch, watching TV.The sounds of the telenovela “Love Spins the World” filled the room as Jack Stone’s voice echoed, “My love, don’t be afraid! Together, we can face the obstacles!”Emma Carlton, the female lead, responded, “Jack, I’m scared!”Jack’s voice continued confidently, “That’s why we’re in this bar, to relax. Waitress!”Suddenly, Liz and Fernando’s eyes widened, bouncing on the couch in surprise.According to what their eyes watched on the TV screen, Jasmine, their daughter, was the waitress in the scene!The male lead, Jack Stone, was played by Othon Rios. Jasmine shot a glare at the actress playing Emma before walking away. The scene abruptly cut, indicating some last-minute editing.At that moment, Ronaldo walked in, smiling as he noticed his parents’ excitement.“What’s going on with you two?” he asked, curious.“Ron! Your sister was just on the soap opera!” Fernando exclaimed.Ronaldo blinked, shocked. “That

    Nathan and Bella sat in silence at the Happy Snack Bar, unsure of what to say to each other. Or maybe they knew exactly what they wanted to say, but neither had the courage to speak. Nathan, as the man in the relationship, decided to take the lead.“I should go first,” he said, breaking the tension. “My name is Nathan Sterling Gouveia. I’m 25 years old, weigh about 185 pounds, have a degree in Business Management, and I worked at Golden Letters and Urban Magazine. Right now, I’m unemployed, but I help my dad, pianist Vicente Gouveia, with his live streams, monetizing his channel since we went through some financial setbacks last year.”Bella blinked, staring at Nathan with an intensity that spoke of the weight she felt.“Your turn,” he urged her.She hesitated, her voice choking. “Nate, I...”“It’s not that hard, Bella,” Nathan pressed. “Just tell me who you really are.”Bella wrestled with the words, the truth battling with her fear.Meanwhile, the same pretty girl sitting nearby see

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

    Elaine arrived stumbling with fear and bewilderment. 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

    At Andrade Clinic, Charles was leading a meeting with the receptionists and security guards.

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
