Nathan is asked by Abner if he still dares to think of himself as worthy of being heir to the Sterling Empire.

Nathan explodes, “I don’t care what I feel. I KNOW I AM the rightful heir! Who is Matthew? Where has he been? If Aunt Sheila wanted him heir, she would have stuck around!”

Abner also gets angry. “Don’t be insolent! It’s not Sheila’s choice, much less yours! This is a matter between Matthew and me! He accepted, therefore, I’m going to hand over the throne to HIM!”

“NO!” Nathan runs his hand in Abner’s desk and knocks over several objects. The computer monitor almost suffered the same fate.

Abner shakes his head in contempt. “That’s it, keep going! Be tempestuous, short-tempered, out of control... that’s where Matt beats you.”

“Grandpa Abner, one day you will come back to my father’s apartment and ask me to replace the clumsy Matthew. I’ll wait!”

“Wait seated.” Abner crosses his fingers with an ironic smile.

Evan enters the office after hearing the sound of dropped objects. “Is

    In the women’s bathroom at the Happy Snack Bar, Cindy and Patricia would start a fight if it weren’t for a male voice surprising them both.Jackson had decided to enter, thinking about preventing a third world war, and he was right when he saw his sister being slapped.“Cindy, why would you do such a thing?” He asks, a little angry.“Ask your sister! She started being rude while I was about to leave!” Cindy looked like an elementary school student.“Bro, this fragile girl can’t take a joke.” Patricia massages her sore cheek.“Joke, about smelly, clogged latrines?” Cindy gets angry.“Oh, I’m sorry! I didn’t know your feces smelled like lavender.” Patricia starts to mock again.“ARGH, that’s disgusting!” Cindy trembles at the rudeness and starts to leave the bathroom, “Do you see, Patricia, why Matt chose me? I have more class and social projection. People will choose me as the next Mrs. Sterling while you continue your bad habits and favela language!”Jackson narrows his eyes, trying t

After all, his son is in his last year of Business, correct?But David didn’t want to go to a party where his main enemy would be the honoree!At the Happy Snack Bar, he complained about this to Patricia. Both ate a snack at a reserved table, with Jackson watching from a distance.“Patty, I don’t want to go to this party, damn it!” David grumbles like a tantruming child, “How do I convince my father that I don’t want to honor my rival?”Patricia choked on the orange juice she was drinking, “Cough, cough, cough... RIVAL? How is Matt your rival, David? He’s dating Cindy and you’re not in love with me. We’re just friends.”David felt an arrow in his heart. He just wanted to

    Matthew and Patricia meet in the university square. The kiosk where our story began remains empty. But the tables and chairs were still available. Nobody wanted to steal them, thank goodness.The unusual couple chooses one of them to sit on. Patricia looked at the closed kiosk with a mixture of longing.“Good times when we just wanted to work to pay the bills.”“I don’t believe for a second that you want to go back to that mediocre, difficult life.” Matthew scolds her, “Those were the days when my mother wore old rags and almost died of pneumonia.”“Nothing like that.” Patricia gets angry, “That house may have been poor, but you were guilty of making it dirtier. A regular broom would take care of that dust.”“Well, now my mother has someone to sweep the house for her.” Matthew smiles slightly, “And so do you.”“No.” Patricia remains serious, shaking her head, “My mother is the one who sweeps and cleans the house. My father takes care of the gardening and heavier work, with the help of

    Ronaldo has a slight discomfort. Won’t Matthew shake his hand?Matthew finally smiles slightly and greets his cousin appropriately, “How are you, Ron? It’s been a long time since we’ve spoken properly. Do you plan on showing up to my party?”“But of course, I plan to show up at your party!” Ronaldo says as if he were offended, “It’s a privilege to see you back. We thought you died in the accident.”“Mom thinks it wasn’t an accident. Men like my Dad don’t get into car accidents, they get murdered.” Matthew mentions Sheila’s suspicion.“Aunt Sheila has always been dramatic. Jonah Lopes and Isabel Freire are her favorite authors, right?” Ronaldo stands up, “Did you come to see your family’s company?”Matthew is startled. Ronaldo said ‘your family’ as if the Sterlings weren’t his family too...“I’ll have no part in the Silva Oil Company, Ron.” Matthew shakes his head, “My place is in the Sterling Empire. I bear that surname. You, as a man who bears the surname Silva, are the rightful heir

    In Abner’s office at the headquarters of the Starling Empire, the current president was checking the details of the party with Evan.“Have all the CEOs of our companies RSVP’d, Evan?”“Yes, sir. Those who are married have promised to bring their wives and children.” Evan nods as he stares at the tablet.“Great. And what about Josias Rocha? His presence is fundamental for us.” Abner smiles hopefully.“I don’t think he will make that slight.” Evan smiles confidently.The door opens and Alice enters. It’s not every day that Madam Sterling shows up at headquarters. The employees must have been in an uproar...“Honey...” Abner gets up from the presidential chair.“Honey, can I talk to you alone? I’m sorry, Evan...” Alice asks in a sweet voice, but Evan could feel her authority.“Of course, Madam Sterling. Excuse me.” Evan discreetly leaves.Abner waits for the door to close, “Tell me, my love.”“Abner, we need to do something about Andreia.” Alice crosses her arms.“More than I’m already d

    Matthew and Cindy wake up in a good mood. They’re in the bathroom getting ready for another day of routine. Matthew shaved looking in the sink mirror while Cindy relaxed in the bathtub.A stool near the bathtub held her cell phone. Message notifications were buzzing all the time, making Matthew frown.“I got curious, my dear. What do these people talk about so much?” He asks her.“Let me see...” Cindy wipes the suds off her right hand and picks up her cell phone. She smiles, “Ah, they’re my fans, honey. They’re congratulating me on the article.”“What article?” Matthew looked serious, having a bad feeling.“The article I wrote about Jackson Borges! I told you everyone would love that gossip. Now he and Patricia will become famous, and—”Matthew turns violently towards Cindy. Even though he had some shaving foam on his chin and was only wearing a towel wrapped around his waist, the sight was not something for Cindy to drool over, but rather, to fear.“CINDY!” He roars like the king of

    Matthew showed up at the university, expecting Abner to be there.“Hello, Young Master Sterling.” Dean Meirelles greeted him respectfully, “Did you come to talk to your grandfather? Today he is here, you were lucky.”“I don’t know if that was luck or if he knew I needed to talk to him urgently.” Matthew smiles gently, “Can I pass?”“For sure.” Meirelles accompanies him.Abner was typing something on the computer. Meirelles enters first.“Mr. Sterling, your grandson wants to talk to you.”“I imagined.” Abner keeps his gaze fixed on the monitor, typing, “Let him pass.”Meirelles gestures for Matthew to pass.“Grandpa, Evan informed me what happened to the Rocha family.”“Where’s your girlfriend?” Abner continues to stare at the monitor and type.Matthew swallows hard.

    In the dean’s office at Sterling University, Matthew found himself in an unusual situation. David Rocha, even though he was wrong in the story that was published in the newspapers, is now in front of our hero demanding that his girlfriend be thrown out.“David, you offended my best friend because she had the decency not to hope for a stable, lasting relationship. You can even complain that my girlfriend published the story, but don’t talk to me like you’re a helpless victim. I imagine what you must have said to Patty.”David swallows hard. “Maybe you don’t know, but I also have a heart and feelings.”Matthew tilts his head back and laughs uproariously, “HA, HA, HA, HA! That’s the joke of the century! Come on!” Matthew stops laughing, “Months ago, you wanted to perform a gangbang with her and your friends there in the middle of the square, for everyone to watch and put on the Deep Web!”“I regretted it bitterly and demanded that my friends ask for forgiveness.” David retorts.“Why?

    As the evening cast long shadows over the elegant interior of the Andrade Mansion, Walter stepped into the vestibule with a satisfied grin. Jacqueline, already waiting near the foyer, eyed him curiously.“Walt, why did you take so long? Did you spend the whole Sunday at the Lion’s Den?” she asked, tilting her head.Walter’s expression was one of mischief. “Let’s just say I spent the day with Linda, as I should.”Jacqueline’s face lit up with a touch of nostalgia. “Oh, I remember when I spent a day with Zach in the favela. We weren’t robbed and we had a blast! Even ate at a street food stand — it was fun.”Walter chuckled. “And your delicate stomach didn’t act up?”“Who said it did?” she replied, giving his chiseled abs a playful pat. “You and your fitness lifestyle should be more worried about fried snacks than I am.”Walter only smiled more, his mind elsewhere.I must’ve burned countless calories in that marathon... he thought to himself. Aloud, he added, “I didn’t even witness the s

    As the afternoon light waned into the beginnings of dusk, Vicente stood by the window of Andreia's hospital room in the Andrade Clinic. He drew the curtains open again, gazing at the sky, which had started to clear after the storm. The clouds were retreating, leaving behind hints of a serene night.“Looks like we’ll have a starry night, at least,” he said, hopeful.“But it won’t be warm,” Andreia replied from her bed, her voice calm but weary.Vicente turned to her and walked closer, the fluorescent hospital light casting a soft glow on his concerned face.“Sweetheart, do you see now that Nate might be right about us not staying at the beach house to take care of Victor?”Andreia nodded, resigned. “Victor would cry nonstop with the wind slamming against the roof and that creepy foam all around.”“Then it’s settled,” Vicente said, gently. “Moving to the apartment Nate found for us is probably for the best.”She shifted slightly, uneasy. “There’s just one thing that worries me about thi

    That afternoon, inside Linda’s bedroom at the Alvares family house, Paulina was involved in an awkward battle with a mountain of blankets. She pulled from one side, while Walter and Linda, unaware of her efforts, tugged from the other. Eventually, Paulina managed to peel back enough of the layers to reveal Walter’s head, shoulders, and chest.From Paulina’s perspective, Walter was a sight to behold — grinning like a mischievous boy, sweaty, flushed, undeniably sexy. Once again, Paulina had to resist the overwhelming temptation to dive into that cocoon and take her daughter’s place!“Mrs. Alvares, thank you so much for your help,” Walter said, still catching his breath.Paulina stammered, “N-no problem... You should go before Ernie comes back.”“And what about Linda?” he asked.“I’ll tell him she’s resting.”She cast a glance at the blanket pile concealing her daughter, clearly either passed out or fast asleep after the relentless pounding she’d endured since the previous night.

    That afternoon at the Andrade Clinic, in Andreia’s room, Sergeant Carvalho finally seemed satisfied with Vicente’s answers. Rising from the visitor’s chair, he gave them both a nod.“OK, Mr. Gouveia. For now, I won’t bother you any further with questions about the case. I can see your wife’s getting uncomfortable.”Andreia shook her head, trying her best to hide her discomfort.“No, Sergeant, it’s just—” she began.“I know, I understand,” Carvalho interrupted gently. “You just gave birth, and you want to focus on the baby. Your husband’s clearly happy too, huh?”“You can say that again,” Vicente replied, smiling faintly.“Well, there’s nothing else I can say for now except that we’ll keep investigating. See you around.”“Thank you very much, Sergeant,” Vicente said, watching as Carvalho waved goodbye and stepped out of the room.Once the door clicked shut, Vicente turned to Andreia, remorseful.“I’m sorry, sweetheart. I lost my temper, and it made you feel unwell.”“That’s not it,” sh

    The storm had finally begun to wane.Inside the Beach House, Bella had found herself some of Andreia’s clothes that fit her surprisingly well, while Jonah had to make do with one of Vicente’s robes, which clung too tightly to his frame. Nathan placed three steaming mugs of hot chocolate on the coffee table.“It’s the best I’ve got for now,” he said, settling into his spot.Bella reached for a mug, offering him a warm smile. “Nate, thank you. We came to visit you because of your baby brother.”“Congratulations,” Jonah added.Nathan sat down on the sofa, eyeing them both with mild suspicion. “My dad called. He was worried I’d be swallowed up by that foamy tide. He’s still at the hospital with my mom.”Bella nodded. “It’s better he stays there.”Nathan tilted his head. “He also said you two stopped by.”Jonah tried to sound casual. “Your little brother’s adorable. He was in the arms of that doctor who took him to the clinic.”“Dr. de Paula,” Nathan said.Bella jumped at the opportunity.

    That afternoon, at the beach house, Nathan was startled to find Bella and Jonah soaked from the rain, huddled in the doorway.“What the hell are you two doing out there?” he asked, bewildered.“We wanted to visit you,” Bella explained, shivering slightly, “but the rain caught us by surprise!”“And the sea is acting weird,” Jonah added. “This foam started building up... it looks like it’s snowing around your house!”Nathan frowned at the description, but his hospitality won out. “Okay, come in!”Relieved, Bella and Jonah stepped inside, and Nathan quickly shut the door behind them.“I’ve got the heater on,” he said, “but I’m not sure I have clothes that’ll fit either of you.”“If you have robes, that’s enough,” Bella said hopefully.Nathan looked her over thoughtfully. “I think some of my mom’s stuff might fit you. Can’t say the same for Jonah, though.”Without hesitation, Jonah peeled off his wet shirt, adding just a hint of flair to the gesture. “Don’t worry about me,” he said, a lit

    On a rainy afternoon at the Silva Penthouse, Fernando returned to the living room holding an empty teacup. Sheila handed him back his cup, then poured herself a generous serving of hot chocolate, feeling increasingly cornered by Liz’s newfound determination.“Liz,” she asked carefully, “does that mean you’re not going to Lagoon City anymore?”Fernando furrowed his brow. “Why are you asking that, sis?”Sheila nodded subtly toward Liz. “Because it seems like she’s on a different path now.”Fernando sat down beside his wife.Liz, still smiling, answered gently, “Yes, Sheila. I’ve made a decision to change my life. First, I’m going to treat Matt’s banishment as a kind of vacation — take time to recover and visit my daughter.”Fernando reached for her hand. “And I’ll make sure my dear wife gets the rest she deserves.”Liz’s expression sharpened with a quiet resolve. “Then, when I return, if I find that Elaine hasn’t kept her word and has been making trouble for Patty and Ron again—”“Liz,

    The weather had shifted as the afternoon settled over the beach house. Rain tapped softly against the windows as Nathan lounged on the sofa, scrolling through news on his phone. The screen displayed a surreal video of young people playing in thick, frothy sea foam that looked more like whipped cream than anything natural. The waves consumed the adventurers, and the video cut off just as only two of the six managed to poke their heads back above the foam.Curious, Nathan scrolled down to the comment section, where users speculated on whether the kids had gotten out safely — or why they’d entered the foam in the first place.Suddenly, the distinct sound of his phone ringing broke the silence.He smiled when he saw the caller ID and answered cheerfully, “Hello?”At the Andrade Clinic, Vicente had returned from lunch. A tray beside Andreia suggested she had eaten as well.“Son, is it you?” Vicente asked over the phone.Nathan laughed. “What kind of question is that, Dad?”Vicente’s tone c

    Meanwhile, at Andrade Clinic, in Andreia’s room, the mood was much lighter — though not without tension. Jonah stood defensively between Bella and the new parents, trying to defuse the awkward confrontation. But Andreia and Vicente only responded with laughter, finding the situation absurd.Maurício, standing off to the side, finally stepped in, his voice calm but firm.“Guys, I’m not sure what’s going on here, but maybe let’s keep the volume down. The baby needs to rest.”“You’re right,” Vicente agreed, wiping away tears of laughter. “Our son’s trying to nap.”Jonah looked incredulous. “I still can’t believe how you talk about Bella. She came here as Nathan’s ex — she thought it was kind to visit his new brother.”Bella, clearly offended, folded her arms. “I really did think he’d be here. But I guess not. I should go.”“Congratulations, anyway,” Jonah added hastily as he followed her out.Vicente’s voice called after them with finality. “Bella, it’s best you stay away from my son. He
