The Tide of Fortune Chapter 13 A Facade Husband
The next day, Laura walks into the kitchen for breakfast and finds herself with Reginaldo drinking coffee from a mug. He smiles from the corner of his mouth as he reads the news on his tablet."Your and Miss Mendonça's mischief is all over the gossip portals."Laura sits down, picks up her cell phone, and checks to see if this is true.Laura's face tenses as she opens the first website and checks for herself, "This has got to be clowning!""Yes, for the first time we agree on something!" Reginaldo declares jokingly.Laura reacts indignantly, "Reggie, don't put any more fuel on the fire!""Apparently, your father has forcibly released me from the obligation of me being your husband." He reads the article, "'The birthday girl danced with Laura Ferreira's boyfriend and made it clear to him that she was without panties'."Laura screams foaming with rage, "Ed is not my boyfriend!""No, he's your lover.""Reggie, stay out of it!"Reginaldo thickens his voice, "But of course, I'm going to me
The Tide of Fortune Chapter 14 A Plan in Progress
Reginaldo and George have coffee at the Mountain Cafe after paying a few months' rent on the loft. George delights in the creamy, minty coffee."Reggie, you've never bought me a coffee in this coffee shop. What's going on?"Reginaldo continues mysteriously, "Let's just say things are changing for the better, buddy."George continues stubbornly to refuse, "I can't accept this. You're burning your meager savings..."Reginaldo puts his hand firmly on George's free hand."George, just STOP! I've told you three hundred times that I'm fine, that I won't need this money! You talk as if I'm unworthy of spending money on fancy things!""Excuse me, Reggie."Reginaldo takes a deep breath and controls his voice, "As I told you, I have spent these three years saving what I earn from the popsicles. The help I've given you will be the beginning of many things I intend to do. I won't be on the Ferreira family's tab forever."George becomes interested, "Um, what has changed?"Reginaldo leans forward a
The Tide of Fortune Chapter 15 Promises
Laura slams the door to her father's office and challenges her parents."What right do you have to tell me what I should or shouldn't walk with? Are we past this stage already?"Antonio retorts annoyed, "I don't think we should ever have passed! You still behave like an irresponsible child! What does it cost you to find a decent man?""I already got this man, the name is Eduardo Casemiro.""What does this imbecile do?" Antonio asks disdainfully.Marianne replies before her daughter catches her breath, "He's an author at Marçal Publishing."Antonio rolls his eyes, "Oh, how wonderful! A writer, what a beautiful profession!"Laura is outraged, "DAD! Have you ever heard of Isabel Freire and Jack Motta? Being a successful author in this important publishing house is not synonymous with failure!"Antonio sneers, "Still these two authors DO NOT live here in Sunset Village, right? They live in the urban part of Lagoon City, and so will this Eduardo. He won't earn enough to satisfy your desire
The Tide of Fortune Chapter 16 I Want a Real Wife
Anestor arrives and Reginaldo welcomes him effusively. They go to the master suite."Let's talk inside, no chance of being interrupted.""And where is Laura?" Anestor asks him.Reginaldo shrugs, "She must be getting laid with the writer.""So, master? Say what you have in mind!"Reginaldo makes a soap opera suspense and finally blurts out, "I'm going to ask my father to open a branch here."Anestor is surprised, "Why do you want to work at some branch when the head office is in Victoria?""I still want to keep my Reginaldo Silva disguise."Anestor gets impatient, "And I thought you would stop being a lapdog of this dishonest family!"Reginaldo smiles slightly, "Anestor, you must understand that I could very well use my last name to end all this at once. But then it wouldn't be funny, got it? I will take revenge, but it will be slower. I want the Ferreira family to suffer pretty slowly.""Oh, I see. You'll get revenge drop by drop and they won't even realize they're being punished."Th
The Tide of Fortune Chapter 17 Fabray Residence
Laura is tired of being pressured by Eduardo."Ed, how many times will I have to say that I love you and want to marry you, but it won’t be NOW?"Eduardo shrugs, "You can say as many times as you want. This has a solution. You just have to want to.""It’s not that easy.""You complain that your parents treat you like a child, but in the end, you give in and obey meekly as they always expect." Eduardo collects the chair he had kicked."Eduardo, let’s do this: focus on your book, publish it and pray that it becomes a bestseller. So you’ll appear on Maggiezine and be interviewed on Lisandro’s Show. When my parents see that you are no small thing, they will accept the idea that you deserve me."However, Eduardo is more shocked, "So is that it? Do your parents compare me to worthless Reggie? Do they think I’m a loser too?""You remember that my mother had a favorable opinion." Laura rolls her eyes, "All you have to do is convince my father. So sit in this chair and finish that book, it’s o
The Tide of Fortune Chapter 18 I'll Crush the Damned Ones!
After undoing the hug, Bartolomeo leans back at the head of the king-size bed. Reginaldo feels refreshed to see his father. No one needs to ask ‘forgive me’; this was already implied in the look and smile of both.Anestor smiles and retreats to leave father and son alone."Dad, I’m very happy to be able to see you again.""And I’m very happy to save you." Bartolomeo remarks.Reginaldo sits on the mattress, "I think I deserve to hear 'I told you so'..."Bartolomeo denies with a wave of his hand, "No use crying over spilled milk. Especially when I know it wasn’t you who spilled it."Reginaldo frowns, "As seen, Anestor told you everything.""Son, this Ferreira family needs to pay for what they did to you for three years. Let me get this straight: Did they force you into a loveless marriage to their daughter by threatening to send you to jail for raping her?""Exactly, but I didn’t force myself on her. We both got excited about alcohol, and she was the one who found me." Reginaldo crosses
The Tide of Fortune Chapter 19 Gomes Real Estate Agency
Back in Lagoon City, Reginaldo ponders what his father informed him about Gomes Real Estate."I’m sure she’d be the perfect place for my cover."Instead of putting it as 'Fabray real estate', he could keep the name so as not to attract suspicion.Upon entering the outside area of the Ferreira House, Reginaldo gritted his teeth. Laura’s Citroën was there, parked carelessly.When he entered, Laura was on the black sofa of the foyer with a cup of tea in her hands."Now you’ve forced yourself on female beachgoers... your Styrofoam box is still here."Reginaldo didn’t want to argue with her, but could not stand, "You have this obsession with thinking that I rape women on a busy beach instead of working!"Laura grins annoyingly, "I know Sunset Village is a crowded beach, but there are certain secluded places where couples take the opportunity to do that ‘ugly thing’. That’s where you drag your helpless customers.""You have a sick mind! If you keep thinking about me having sex with other wo
The Tide of Fortune Chapter 20 Selling popsicles
Reginaldo is so pleased with the conversation that he goes straight to the beach at Sunset Village to sell his popsicles, even though it's a Tuesday.Inside the car, he removes his clothes until he is in his swim trunks. The Styrofoam box was in the backseat.One of the things that helps Reginaldo to sell is the fact that the female buyers notice the wonderful body of the salesperson, well worked out in the exercises.It's not uncommon for the ladies to make jokes and obscene flirts, wanting to "suck" Reginaldo's huge "popsicle".However, different from what Laura thinks, Reginaldo just smiles and continues selling. After all, if he takes one of the female clients to one of the secluded corners and makes love to her, who's to say that this same client wouldn't falsely accuse him like Antonio Ferreira has been doing for years?As pointed out, today is Tuesday and the beach is not crowded. Reginaldo manages to sell it to the few regulars they meet.One of these beachgoers is Aline.She

Aline breaks the silence when she sees Reginaldo meditating, “Don’t worry, Reggie. I know the whole story that was in the newspaper. Denise Lynch was the killer. 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. He got angry because the relationship between Denise and Jacob remained intact. He demanded that Denise help him win Laura back, otherwise, he would tell Jacob that Denise won him over on purpose. Denise despaired, saw a rock near her, and...”Aline sighs, “God, this isn’t very Christian, but

Chapter 791 A Haunting?
Reginaldo stopped the BMW at the entrance to the Fabray House gate.As Faron wasn't there, he got out of the car and opened the gate manually. Automatic gate, only at Mendonça Manor.But when Reginaldo went back to the driver's door, he felt he heard some noise.Was anyone moving in the bushes? Was a thief waiting to rob him?Thinking about how unlucky it would be to be robbed just when Faron wasn't there, Reginaldo slowly opened the driver's door, aiming for the revolver he had inside the car.If he's faster, he can arm himself in time.However, a voice made him give up his weapons.“Reggie...”Reginaldo froze for a few seconds. If he were in the desert, he would think he was seeing a mirage. But he was in Sunset Village.So, how can you explain the fact that he was seeing Aline approaching him at a slow pace, coming out of the bushes as if she were a ghost?Aline was smiling, wearing a black k

Chapter 790 The New CEO of Fabray Network
Reginaldo Fabray appeared from the corridor. It seems he was already there before everyone else, as the reporters didn't see him pass by. Otherwise, they would have spent all their film stock on him.Reginaldo was wearing his navy blue tuxedo, the one he bought at the men's clothing store in Sunset Village when Márcio Rios wore his head up and was a good person. If it weren't for Márcio, Reginaldo would be thrown out of the store as if he were a beggar.Reginaldo tried to sweep these memories out of his mind. Márcio became a hardened pervert who constantly violated Aline, losing his life as a result.Aline, another problematic woman, caused him a lot of headaches by getting involved with other guys before deciding on him, and then, when she needed him the most, instead of trusting him, she decided to waste the gift that God gave her.George and Carla, those friends who proved more treacherous than Henry and Gilson, were deservedly exi

Chapter 789 Who Remained Faithful and Loyal
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

Chapter 788 The Family Will Stay Together
It's Taddeo and Marianne's turn to get shocked with the bombs. 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

Chapter 787 Too Many Bombs Exploding At Once
Joshua doesn't understand why George is saying goodbye once again.George thinks he will avoid the confrontation by starting the car and leaving for Gomes Estates.But Joshua palms the steering wheel, almost making George lose control of the direction.“OK, now you can explain to me what’s going on here?”“Josh, don’t make a fuss,” George states calmly.“What’s all this talk about Paris? 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? Th

Chapter 786 Paris Is a Beautiful City
Reginaldo was paralyzed in the same way that Henry was before confirming his villainy.What's going on here?Does that mean he, out of nowhere, lost the fiancée he loved so much because of Henry?Does this mean that Henry finally managed to harm Reginaldo in something? 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

Chapter 785 Text Message
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

Chapter 784 Reckoning Between Brothers
In the hospital corridor, Bartolomeo was serious, receiving Reginaldo's call.“Yes, son, congratulations on the mission accomplished. We got rid of Henry without bloodshed. 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...”
