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
Reginaldo is in the servants' room taking an aspirin given by Joshua. Today his shift will be night shift while Reginaldo's will be over."Glad you're going home." Joshua jokes, "Can you imagine working a full shift with this headache?"Reginaldo smiles and hands him the package of aspirin, "God forbid. Thank you very much, Josh.""You're welcome, that's what we're here for." Joshua goes to his closet to store the aspirins.Reginaldo takes a deep breath and takes his cell phone. He dials Laura.After a long try with her cell phone ringing, Laura finally answers, "Hello?"Reginaldo frowns slightly, "Darling, why did you take so long to answer your cell phone? And I think you're panting.""I was walking along the beach promenade and just got here. Sorry, my love." Laura responds hastily.Reginaldo smiles, "It's nice to know that you are at least using the time for useful things. We still need to talk about what you intend to do with your life."Reginaldo feels that Laura's voice tremble
George is stunned to see a couple dressed up, ready to go to a party of the highest level, standing in a building not worthy of their presence."You are in the wrong loft or building," George responds, about to slam the door in their faces.But Matias is faster this time and bars the door with his hand, "Wait a minute, sir! We need information."George gets more nervous. In contrast to the couple being exquisitely dressed, George got out of the shower and is just wearing a grimy towel wrapped around his waist. His well-built body left Natalia overwhelmed."Sir, I'm not decent in front of madam, I need to change.""Does my brother Reginaldo live here?" Natalia asks looking at the floor.George felt an alarm ring in his mind. Who are these guys?"Sister? I'm sorry, madam. A Reginaldo lived here, but he didn't tell me he had a sister. I basically don't know anything about his family, except that their parents died."Natalia is surprised. Matias realizes that he made a mistake in coming h
To make matters worse, it's at this moment that Reginaldo's cell phone rings, but the device reminds him that the battery is low."Oh, I need to recharge my cell phone. And someone is calling." Reginaldo checks the missed call, "It's George.""Your friend, one of those who work at the real estate agency?" Anestor asks interested."Exactly. I need to see with him this business of sleeping with the girls who work with them. Did you know that Gomes Estates is turning into a whorehouse?"Anestor smiles deviously instead of being shocked, "I think I'll go over there and see what their services are."Reginaldo doesn't know whether to laugh or scold the joke and leaves. Little does he know that Anestor wasn't joking.Upon entering the master suite, he is faced with the unusual change of sheets. Laura is out of the shower and in her pink robe, as usual, undecided about what to wear.Reginaldo takes the charger and connects it to his cell phone. While the battery is being recharged, he goes to
After taking a shower, Reginaldo goes to his cell phone. The battery had charged up to 30%. Well, there was time for at least one call, right?When selecting George's number, his friend answers on the other side, lying on the couch, watching a TV show, "Hello, Reggie! Why did you take so long to answer?""Sorry, the cell phone needed to recharge the battery." Reginaldo informs him, "Huh, I need to get out. What's wrong?""A couple appeared claiming to be your sister and brother-in-law. Didn't you tell me you were alone in this world?" George shoots at point-blank range.Reginaldo is astonished. Damn it! Why didn't Natalia and Matias say they were coming?"George, I need to take some time to talk to you. By the way, there's another matter I want to take care of." Reginaldo answers with a frown."About what you want to talk about?""When I hired you for my real estate agency project, you weren't supposed to be debauched with the girls who work with you." Reginaldo sums up the situation.
Reginaldo and Laura enter the Ferreira Hotel still as a radiant and passionate couple. Laura smiled a lot, trying to convince those watching that she was the perfect definition of a faithful, submissive wife.The photographers popped the flashes, making Reginaldo dizzy."What are we going to say to the reporters, honey?" Laura asks through gritted teeth, leaning her head on his shoulder."Let's just say we're getting to know each other better," Reginaldo responds in the same way.Those who were far away thought that the beautiful couple was commenting on another subject.When Reginaldo passes through the hallway and finds the entrance to the ballroom, he grinds his teeth in anger. Laura feels her husband's arm tighten.At the entrance, new security guards were controlling the entrance with a guest list!Memories of Aline's birthday surfaced in Reginaldo's mind. It can't be, Antonio promised to get tough, he wasn't kidding!"What's up, honey?" Laura asks him, worried.Reginald doesn't
Reginaldo doesn't know how to respond to Laura about what Anestor meant with Antonio repeating the guest list trick. He thinks for a few seconds and decides to tell part of the truth."Darling... The truth is that I told Anestor what happened at Aline Mendonça's birthday party. Yes, your father attacked again."Laura is stunned and tries to remember that fateful day, "You didn't attend the party. But I was too busy introducing Eduardo as my boyfriend. And I ended up fighting with the birthday girl who was—""OK, let's take it easy on the memories." Reginaldo wants to avoid disappointment, "As you can understand, I couldn't get in because your father made fun of me with the guest list, so I went back home. Now he repeats the joke and on top of that, denies you as a father!"Laura seethes with rage, "That's why we're going in at all costs!"As they wait, the flashes pop again. Eduardo and Aline are walking in and smiling at the reporters and photographers.Reginaldo is extremely hurtful
