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." He blurts out as he enters, startling Ma
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
The pepperoni and salami pizza arrived and the Fabray family helped themselves to good slices. Natalia took one while the men took two slices.But Natalia tried to return a slice of her father, "Mr. Fabray, watch the cholesterol!"Bartolomeo laughs, but soon he remembers the poisoned chocolates. Then he talks about it without mentioning the point, "Is your husband ready to temporarily take over for Reggie?""You want to know if the bruises are gone?" Natalia wryly asks, "Yes, nothing as some good makeup can fix."Reginaldo chuckles, "Matias needs to stand up to my annoying cousins."Natalia cuts the slice of pizza as if she were slitting Henry and Cassio's throats, "Argh, those smug ones... I want to watch my hubby in my box putting those two in their place."Bartolomeo places his right hand on his daughter's left hand, "Calm down, little princess. Everything will be all right."Natalia takes a deep breath and smiles, "When Dad said you were hiding here, I was stunned, Reggie! What a
Carla feels that she has had a stroke of luck when she finds Bruno in the hallway. She's so glad she didn't notice her boss standing at the enemy neighbor's door."Bruno, glad I found you." Carla approaches him, "I told Aline that I wanted to go out with you and you were actually very close to us!"Bruno is embarrassed, "Hello, Miss Fortunato.""I think we can put the formality aside. Don't let that Bianca ruin a beautiful friendship.""It turns out, Miss Fortunato, that—"Sabrina's door opens and she is surprised by the two of them standing in the doorway, "What is this? I didn't organize any party!"Without saying a word, Bruno bursts into Sabrina's apartment and slams the door shut. Carla is completely shocked and holds her breath for a few seconds, petrified by what she saw.What was this? Bruno had just walked in as if he owned the place!Aware that Bruno came with Márcio and with the same immoral purpose, Carla huffs in anger and strides towards the pizzeria.******At Parmesan
Reginaldo is frowning to learn that the girl he wanted to have as a meek and submissive wife is acting like a senseless promiscuous. Why?"Carla, just tell me why. Why did Aline decide to act like this? Is she in love with the guy? Are they dating?"Carla laughs, "Of course not, they don't even consider themselves friends! She said that Márcio is just a guy to get laid."Reginaldo is even more surprised. Márcio? Just he?He scratches his head, "I still can't understand. That's not the Aline I knew."Carla rolls her eyes, "Reggie, we're talking about the same Aline who decided to go to her own birthday party without panties: that's who she is! Crazy, inconsequential, irresponsible, she doesn't think about tomorrow. If it's not me living with her in the apartment, she would certainly be a victim of pimping or human trafficking."Reginaldo narrowed his eyes. It seems that Carla spoke with exasperation. Did the two friends fight and is Carla now lying to him, tarnishing Aline's unblemishe
A week has passed. Today was Friday, the day of Eduardo Casemiro's autograph session in the Ferreira Hotel's ballroom.Marianne gathered all the maids to announce the event, "Girls, we noticed that on the Internet we had twice as many guests making a reservation at our esteemed hotel. Since yesterday some of them started to arrive, so we must be aware of the agglomeration. Be competent like you always are, please our guests with an angelic smile.""Yes, Mrs. Ferreira!" All responded in unison."OK, good job for all of us!" Marianne dismisses them all, ending the meeting that took place in their locker room.Laura walks against the flow of maids leaving. Upon finding Marianne, she spits fire, "Mother, for God's sake, tell her this is a nightmare!""This is a nightmare," Marianne responds without emotion."Mom, please, if you cheated on my dad somewhere in the past, I won't be upset." Laura insists on the thesis, "Just introduce me to my real father, and everything will be fine."Marian
