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
Antonio is at full throttle checking the progress of the autograph session, rather than delegating the job to his subordinates. He even gave the hotel cooks time off.Fábio Seara is trying to reason with him, "Mr. Ferreira, don't you want the kitchen of your own hotel, full of chefs who graduated from the best culinary schools in Europe, to provide the food for this autograph session?""No, we don't need them." Antonio coldly responds as he communicates with someone on the computer, "I'm arranging everything with a very elegant buffet."Fábio scratches his head, "I must warn you that people from all social classes will come. Eduardo Casemiro has been selling a lot, and there are rumors that he will be interviewed on Lisandro Torres's show."Antonio smiles wryly, "Then the less fortunate will eat fancy food for the first time in their lives."Marianne strides into the office, frowning, "Tony, your daughter is about to have a heart attack; like father, like daughter. Would you please ca
At Gomes Estates, Márcio is being accused by Reginaldo of being an inconsequential rapist. Márcio is sweating because he didn't want to displease the man who gave him a job."Mr. Silva, I didn't want to upset you. Is Aline interested in you by any chance? Are you two seeing each other? She hasn't said anything to me!"Reginaldo calms down and takes the opportunity to hear his point of view, "Explain to me how it all happened.""It was at the housewarming party for her and Carla's apartment." Márcio speaks in an accelerated tone as if he were before an inquisitorial court, "Carla took George to her room and Aline took me to her room. I had to fulfill my obligation as a man, Mr. Silva. The next day, neither she nor Carla, showed up to work, unable to even walk."Reginaldo tastes gall on his tongue. How much exaggeration!"Keep going," he orders in a dry, husky voice."Since then Aline and I have met often at her apartment, but she doesn't even consider me as a friend. There was one nigh
Reginaldo does not understand why Antonio was unfavorable to Eduardo, calling him several times a 'failure', but now he calls him a 'successful writer'."Come on, Tony, explain yourself!" Reginaldo teases him, "Before you hated Eduardo, now you're organizing this autograph session. And this is happening a week after he tried to kidnap your daughter! Were you the one who released him from jail?"Antonio laughs nervously, "Come on, Reggie, I don't have the power to arrest or release people from jail.""You keep threatening me with arrest if I divorce Laura." Reginaldo thunders, not understanding his father-in-law's twisted mind.Antonio shrugs, "That's because you wanted to get a divorce. Now that you've decided to legally pervert my daughter, the threat has lost its appeal.""I don't 'pervert' your daughter!" Reginaldo is appalled by the old man's lack of logic, "If Laura and I make love, we are under the permission of God and human law. The wrong thing was Laura betraying me with Edua
