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

    Friday, sunny morning.In the quiet of Hélio’s office, he and Vanda sat together, discussing the latest turmoil surrounding their eldest son.“Everything is going wrong,” Hélio began with a deep sigh.“What happened?” Vanda asked, concerned.“I tried to keep Jackson away from Cindy, but now they’re planning to move in together,” he said bitterly.Vanda looked confused. “What do you mean? When did they decide that?”Hélio grimaced. “Cindy suggested it. Germano called me, wanting me to intervene. Jackson overheard the conversation, grabbed my phone, and told Germano he’d start apartment hunting right away.”Vanda shifted uneasily in her chair. “Maybe this is a sign that we shouldn’t interfere,” she suggested.Hélio frowned. “You’re okay with our son spending the entire week in reckless behavior?”“I’m not,” Vanda admitted. “But sometimes disciplining him means letting him learn from his mistakes. Trying to separate them will only push them closer together.”Hélio laughed. “Please, dear.

    Sheila sat at the dining table in the Sterling Mansion, savoring her breakfast with a contented smile. The successful dinner from the previous night had left her in a good mood. She was alone when Evan entered the room.“Has Young Matthew and Mrs. Sterling already left?” Evan asked.“Yes, Evan. Now you can say whatever you want,” Sheila responded playfully.Evan chuckled. “I didn’t mean that, madam.”Sheila smiled. “I know.”She glanced out the window, reminiscing. “I can hardly believe I managed to get everything ready for my little one to enjoy himself in the Bahamas.”Evan sat down and served himself some brioche. “I sincerely hope Young Matthew finds happiness,” he said earnestly.Before Sheila could reply, Jarbas entered the room, looking slightly embarrassed.“What’s wrong, Jarbas?” Sheila asked, noticing his expression.“Has Young Matthew and Mrs. Sterling already gone to the Caribbean?” he inquired.“Yes, they have. Why?”Jarbas let out a sigh of relief, unable to hide it. “Mi

    Cindy was fully recovered, brimming with energy as she sat at the breakfast table, ready to rush off to work. Her beige suit was crisp and neatly pressed, her hair styled into an elegant bun — she looked every bit the perfect journalist.Across the table, her parents Zilda and Germano sat in uneasy silence, hesitant to speak.“Can someone pass me the butter?” Cindy asked, pointing across the table.Germano, reaching for the butter, didn’t pass it right away. “Not until you tell us if you plan on moving out of here,” he said firmly.Cindy rolled her eyes in disbelief. “Seriously? Are we doing this again?”“We’re just worried about you,” Zilda said gently.“Worried to the point where I can’t make my own decisions?” Cindy shot back, annoyed.Germano leaned in, his tone more serious. “You don’t understand the consequences of your choices.”Cindy, now more practical, set her utensils down. “Dad, you don’t approve of me and Jackson showing any affection under your roof. I get it. It’s your

    In the office of Silva Oil Company, Ronaldo and Patricia share a passionate kiss. Their desire for one another intensifies, and as Ronaldo begins to untie Patricia’s blouse, she suddenly pulls back, remembering where they are.“Oops! Honey, take it easy. Let’s set a wedding date first,” Patricia says, gently but firmly.Ronaldo, visibly embarrassed, steps back. “Sorry, darling. I didn’t mean to make you feel cheap and vulgar.”Patricia smiles affectionately. “You’re not. In fact, if I’d met you earlier, I’d still be a virgin, saving myself for marriage, just like my parents.”Ronaldo retreats behind his desk, his mood shifting to something more somber. “I always thought Matt was a gentleman.”Patricia shakes her head. “No, he wasn’t. He was sleeping with Cindy Cardoso before he even cared about me. And then, when Elaine decided she wouldn’t sleep with anyone before marriage, Matt somehow convinced her otherwise. I’ll never forget the day Elaine came down the mansion’s stairs wearing o

    Andreia was taken aback by Cindy's unwavering determination to marry Jackson.“Cindy, I admire your courage, but…” Andreia masked her fear, “how do you plan to pull this off?”Cindy smirked, “What do you mean?”“It seems like you’ve got a plan,” Andreia suggested.“And what if I do?” Cindy replied, her tone cynical. “My parents did something behind my back with Jackson’s parents. They were in cahoots.”“What does that have to do with anything?” Andreia asked, now confused.“If they can scheme, so can I.”Andreia’s voice wavered, “Cindy, you’re scaring me.”“Don’t worry, my dear friend,” Cindy reassured. “I’m scheming for the victory of love.”“I think you and Jackson have had more than enough love over the last few days,” Andreia teased. “I had to rely on Judson and Yasmin to cover the latest breaking news.”“Yasmin? That rookie who started yesterday?!” Cindy erupted, clearly upset.Andreia remained professional. “Yasmin didn’t start ‘yesterday.’ She’s been here for months, and she di

This can’t be happening!” Patricia’s voice wavers.Both Ronaldo and Fernando, clearly distressed, move towards her at the same time, intending to comfort her.Their eyes meet awkwardly, locking in a brief moment of discomfort.Fernando, feeling the sting of jealousy, steps back, allowing Ronaldo to embrace his fiancée.“Thank you, my love,” Patricia says, unaware of the tension between the father and son.“I’m sorry, Patty,” Fernando says softly, guilt evident in his voice. “I didn’t mean to upset you.”“It’s not your fault, Dad,” Ronaldo interjects, shaking his head. “Mom’s the one who owes an apology. This is just wrong.”Patricia, her face filled with sadness, sighs deeply. “Why can’t I love a man in peace? Are we going to have to break up too, Ron?”Ronaldo pulls her c

    At the Sterling Empire headquarters, Sheila, Evan, and Thomas sat attentively around Sheila’s desk, listening to the ongoing podcast.At the podcast studio, Jorge and Jonah were in the midst of a conversation while Karl and Cindy stood in the background.“Jonah, what do you think about having Patty Borges and Ron Silva on the cover of your romance?” Jorge asked with a mischievous grin.Jonah, trying to stay polite, responded, “Golden Letters really outdid themselves, bringing us back to the days when ‘bodice rippers’ were all the rage with women.”Jorge chuckled. “But let’s be honest, didn’t it seem like Ron Silva was wearing his birthday suit instead of an old-fashioned lord’s attire? Patty’s flowing dress helps cover it up, but my followers sure noticed.”The entire studio erupted in laughter, even Jonah loosened up and joined in.“I was assured Ron Silva was decent,” Jonah said playfully. “But for my readers... I’ll leave that to their imagination.”“Fair enough... But you have no

Then, he pulls himself together.“Uh, Dad, I’ll have to call you back. Something’s come up with my son.”He ends the call and stands, his face hardening with anger as he faces Ronaldo.“What did you just say?” Fernando asks, his tone sharp.“You heard me, Dad. Or are

A nervous tension filled the room as Liz hesitated, glancing at the door as if plotting her escape.“Well,” she began, trying to muster some confidence, “since I couldn’t say what I wanted to—”Before she could finish, Karl reached out and grabbed her arm, halting her retreat. Liz froze, her eyes widening in horror.“For the love of Christ, will you let go of my arm?” she demanded, her voice trembling.Karl’s gaze darkened, a mischievous smirk surging on his lips. “Why would I do such a thing?” he asked cryptically.Liz struggled, tugging at her arm. “Because I can scream and shout that you’re a creep!”Karl chuckled, his amusement growing as he watched her panic. “This is what you like, huh? Always the Drama Queen.”Liz’s patience snapped. “Mr. Lawrence Vieira, if you don’t let go in five seconds, I will—”Before she could finish her threat, Karl abruptly released her.

    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

Is it someone’s birthday?” Gustavo smiled and walked over to them.Gustavo realized that Kirk was the center of attention and stopped in his tracks.Kirk, for his part, smiled at Gustavo - mockingly? “Hey, Gus! Come hear the big news!”Gustavo approached with disbelief in his eyes. “Are you going to keep working here?”“Your dream has come true!” Kirk exclaimed so loudly that even those who weren’t close could hear. “I’m going to work somewhere else!”The phrase made a few heads turn toward Gustavo. What? He was hoping Kirk would get fired?Gustavo noticed that those who turned to him did not have friendly expressions.“Hey, take it easy!

    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

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

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

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. 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
