Antonio is surprised by Eduardo standing at the door of his office.

"Eddie!" He exclaims, startled, "What are you doing here?"

Eduardo smiles like a mischievous boy, "I needed to see you. We need to properly plan our revenge scheme."

Antonio quickly opens the office so that no one finds the kidnapper free and on the loose talking to him. After that, he locks the door so he won't be surprised by anyone.

"Let's talk fast." Antonio is a little apprehensive, "May Reggie not find you here. I haven't even told my wife that you left."

Eduardo smiles evilly, "Correction = you didn't tell Mrs. Ferreira that I was FREED by you."

Antonio smirks, "Sit down. What do you want to know about?"

"I want to know when I can contact your daughter." Eduardo sits down.

Antonio wiggles, "You crazy. The news still hasn't reached my daughter and you already want to spoil the surprise? For the plan to work perfectly, you'll have to go days or weeks without talking to her!"

Eduardo disagrees and even shakes with

    The next day, Reginaldo is sitting on the bed of the master suite, frowning, searching his cell phone for new information about Eduardo's arrest. Laura is in the closet getting dressed to go out."Honey, I couldn't find anything about Eduardo. The guy is so insignificant he didn't even get a newspaper article."Laura swallows hard. She still hasn't told Reginaldo that the maniac is on the loose, "Better this way."Reginaldo chuckles, "Now our lives will have peace at last."He gets up and goes to the bathroom to shower. Today is another working day at the hotel.While he was in the kitchen having breakfast, Reginaldo took out his cell phone to see the sales report. A message from Bruno informed him that Aline had not come to work because she was 'indisposed'.

Marianne subtly teases him.Antonio gathers his strength and walks over to his wife to kiss her forehead, "See you later."Antonio bolts away with a scowl, muttering through his teeth, "Why do I get the feeling she already knows? Well, that'll make my plan easier."When Antonio arrives safely at the hotel, he summons Mr. Rosendo for a meeting in his office.Rosendo enters with a serious, icy expression, "Here I am, Mr. Ferreira.""Rosendo, I am aware that Reggie Silva is still working at MY hotel." Antonio leans back in his chair, "What's left for you to fire him?""It remains to infuriate our guests who are eternally grateful." Rosendo boldly responds, "Reginaldo got 100% approval."Antonio twists his nose, "Come on, someone must have complained!""Yes, guest Gustavo Barroso. But we already know that this guest often exaggerates and l

    Antonio continues with his meeting between him and Mr. Rosendo. The Chief of the porters and bellboys are still standing, listening to the absurdities of Ferreira Hotel's owner."Mr. Rosendo, I want to take this opportunity and inform you that we will have an autograph session in honor of the excellent writer Eduardo Casemiro.""Never heard of him," Rosendo responds dryly and indifferently.Antonio gets embarrassed, "Ehr... he showed up here on Miss Mendonça's birthday and danced with the birthday girl who wasn't wearing panties.""What was identified as your daughter's boyfriend?"Antonio gets more nervous, "He's not my daughter's boyfriend, that was fake news in the tabloids." He calms down, "Anyway, I want your guys to be prepared for a larger concentration of guests.""Thank you so much for letting me know, sir. I'll text them all." Rosendo remains serious and formal."Text message?" Antonio wiggles, "Why don't you get everyone together and announce like we used to?""Because it w

She faces him."Why does everyone think I'm going crazy?" Antonio asks mockingly."Because that's what it looks like to me!" Marianne barks, "Do you want to call the man who tried to kidnap your daughter here? How will Laura react to that?""Like a normal person," Antonio responds dryly."There is no normality in such nonsense!"Antonio shrugs, "Marianne, let the maids know they'll have extra activity. I already sent word to Mr. Rosendo."Marianne's eyes widen, "Mr. Rosendo? So Reggie already knows?"The door unexpectedly opens and Reginaldo appears inside, snorting like a bull, "Yes, I already know, and I demand explanations!"Antonio genuinely gets a fright. Marianne smiles slightly, pleased to see Reginaldo defending her daughte

    Tension and stress were the orders of the day for Antonio. Reginaldo closes the door with such strength that the doorknob becomes loose again and falls.Antonio points to the doorknob as if it were an object of incalculable value, "See? I'll charge it from your salary, you careless!""Don't divert the subject!" Reginaldo asserts, "That doorknob was already loose. Now answer me, father-in-law: how do I get the text message that we will have an autograph session for Eduardo Casemiro if the criminal is behind bars?"Antonio sits up with a devilish grin, "I thought you were smart, Reggie."Marianne heaves a sigh, "Eduardo is on parole.""But under what conditions? Who let him out?" Reginaldo yells furiously.Antonio shrugs, "I have no idea, my mind is on my hotel business."Reginaldo purses his lips, and then asks, "And how did the guy you despise now become a key player in boosting the hotel's profits?"Antonio mockingly responds, "Oh, I forgot, you're now so busy with the porter job tha

    Marianne and Reginaldo realize how Antonio is only interested in chaos and confusion.She opines, "Darling, you're turning into a monster. Who is this Antonio Ferreira I'm seeing right now?"Antonio responds as if giving her a whip blow, "I'm the same guy you married! Don't tell me that now you're going to be against Eduardo Casemiro. You were the first to be friendly with him, encouraging him to be the lover of our daughter!""It's just because that day I didn't know that the maniac would be able to kidnap our daughter!" Marianne asserts with a grim face.Antonio shrugs, "The matter is closed, there is no room for discussion. I think next week will give me time to organize everything."Reginaldo is not satisfied, "You still haven't said what your plan is, rogue."Antonio punches the desk, "Respect your boss, imbecile! Go carry bags of demanding ladies, that's all you're good for!""Don't think this matter is over." Marianne blurts out, "As soon as Laura finds out, she'll be the next

    Reginaldo presses Antonio to the wall with the fateful question about him being responsible for Eduardo's release. After all, everything indicated so!Antonio's extremely violent reaction to smashing his cup on the wall, almost hitting his son-in-law, was the answer Reginaldo wanted.He smiles, satisfied, "Thanks for confirming my question.""Get out of here, insolent brat!" Antonio barks."Brat?" Reginaldo feigns indignation, "I'm twenty-five, sir, I already know what life is like. I already know how there are people who can't be trusted.""Are you implying that I'm not to be trusted?" Antonio gets up."You were the one who took the bait." Reginaldo blinks mockingly and then finally leaves.Antonio collapses in his chair and eagerly searches for the pills to take. Without the cup, he takes the pills dry, three at a time, more than recommended, just to calm down.Meanwhile, Reginaldo enters Marianne's office."You can answer me, mother-in-law."

    At night, Reginaldo was waiting for his father and sister at the Parmesan Pizzeria. As it was Thursday, the pizzeria's activity was calm. Reginaldo already had an answer on the tip of his tongue if Aline appeared again. Little did Reginaldo know that Aline intended to stay in her apartment to be degraded and demeaned by Márcio again, and the worst part, she willingly waits for him. When Bartolomeo and Natalia entered, Reginaldo had to scratch his eyes to recognize his sister. Three years passed and Reginaldo noticed how Natalia grew and changed her appearance. The glasses that dwarfed her face were gone and her clumsy hair was now smooth and straight thanks to the Japanese straightening. When Natalia smiled, she showed perfect teeth. Where were the braces that made her look awful? Matias had married the ugly duckling who turned into a swan. Reginaldo fervently hugged his sister, "How good it is to see you again, Natty!" "Likewise, big brother!" Natalia starts to cry. Customers ar

Although I heard the official explanation, I don't know the version of her. Why?”Reginaldo shakes his head, “Another plot by Eduardo Casemiro. He brought Denise from Europe to make Laura jealous, to convince her to return to him. When Laura and I got divorced, they arranged for Denise to seduce Jacob so he and Laura wouldn't be together. So, Laura started dating Eduardo again. But he continued to be the crazy stoner he always was. Laura ended her relationship with Eduardo again.

    Days passed. Fabray House became a lonely corner, just for Reginaldo and Faron.With ‘Miss Correia’ no longer around, Reginaldo exempted Faron from the obligation to wear a suit. As a result, Reginaldo was already used to going downstairs in sweatpants and finding the butler wearing just boxers in the kitchen, preparing breakfast.“Good morning, Boss Reginaldo.” Faron greets him with a respectful smile, “How have you been feeling?”“Can you believe I still wake up reaching for the now empty side of the bed?” Reginaldo sits down, telling this as if it were a joke, “Or else, I wake up at dawn and jump on her side to bang her, but I only fall into the void.”“Yeah, I understand you. Try sleeping in the middle of the bed.” Faron advises him.“Maybe that’s better, or else go hunting for the next candidate.” Reginaldo sighs.Faron puts the breakfast options on the table while Reginaldo takes his cell phone out of his pocket to see what's new.The news written by João Paulo Queiroz Rocha sur

What's going on in Sunset Village?Everything that was built or combined is being destroyed or ceasing to exist.Taddeo sits in the armchair, “Can someone please explain to me in chronological order what is happening around here? Why do you insist on keeping things private and then expect us to just accept it?”George swallows hard, “Sorry, Dad—”“Don’t ‘sorry’ me, EXPLAIN YOURSELF!” Taddeo shouts angrily.George shakes a little. Taddeo is visibly furious. If he doesn't explain soon, his father will have another stroke, probably fatal this time.“OK, Dad,” George braces himself, “First, I want to reveal that during the months I was away from Reggie, I worked in the real estate agency of Henry, the hateful cousin.”“GEORGE!” Marianne exclaims outraged.“I know, it was a stupid move on my part. I looked like a tantrum child. I wanted Reggie to know what he lost by letting me leave Gomes Estates. But he never found out, and I

What happened, did you and Reginaldo fight again?”George takes a deep breath, “Josh, Reggie’s hateful cousin has been defeated. The Mares Agency will likely be passed on to our boss, along with the team of real estate agents. However, when he and I were fighting, I was foolish enough to team up with Henry Fabray, working at his agency.”Joshua gapes, horrified.“Did you work for the enemy these months? And you still had the gall to come back to us without saying anything?”“I knew you would react in disgust.” George justifies himself.“And that’s why you thought it was better to hide this from us?

Did he win, according to his last words?Still trying to assimilate Laura's words, Bartolomeo and Sylvia enter, back from the hospital.“We’re very excited for Natty's return tomorrow, son. What do you think? Do you think Natalia should spend some time here at the mansion, or should we leave her in her apartment, alone with her husband?”Reginaldo reacts quickly, “I think it's better to invite her to spend a few days with us, Dad. This way, Mom can help her with how to take care of João Lucas. She is a first-time mother.”Sylvia, like every mother, notices a change in her son's attitude, “Reggie, what happened?”“No big deal, Mom.”“Then why are you crushing your cell phone in your hand as if it were your uncle Gilson’s

    This was too much for Laura. She once again felt wobbly in her legs and ran back into the mansion.When she was in the foyer, about to go up the stairs, she saw Reggie on the top step, about to go down. Laura notices the excited tone of her fiancé’s voice and hides in a corner to hear what he has to say.Reginaldo goes down the stairs, laughing, “Yes, Dad, I'm very happy. I'm sure Uncle Gilson will stay quiet in Europe, enjoying Paris and Milan, and he'll never want to come back here again. Yes, he will quickly forget that he has a dead son. Congratulations, Dad. Now we can finally work in peace.”Reginaldo finishes going down the stairs and goes outside to help dispose of his hateful cousin's corpse.Laura, in turn, with her heart pounding, runs up the stairs and reaches the second floor, going straight to the suite where she and Reginaldo are.She opens the closet and starts collecting her clothes haphazardly.Then, she takes her suitcase, opens it, and puts her clothes in without f

The Bento family can rest easy this time, as we won’t involve them.”Sylvia approaches him from behind with a disposable cup in hand, drinking water from the water cooler.“OK, son, bye!” Bartolomeo ends the call and turns to her, “It’s over, honey.”Sylvia finishes drinking the water, “What’s up, darling?”“Henry was cornered by Reggie at the mansion, in one of our guest suites, and they had a confrontation where Henry kind of confirmed everything. He murdered Antonio Ferreira just so the police would think the killer was our son.”“But those who spent a few days in prison were Sabrina and Anestor, the most obvious suspects.” Sylvia smiles in contempt.“I know, darling. My brother's plan was ridiculous and full of holes. When Reggie told Henry that Paula was with us and she would report him to Sergeant Andrade...”
