Aline can no longer hide why she showed up all messed up at Gomes Estates with Márcio. She lets go of Carla and starts crying pathetically.Carla snorts, not sure if she feels like Aline's friend or mother, "Okay, stop crying and tell me the truth.""OK." Aline sniffs, "Márcio and I had sex in the house the client wanted to buy. She caught us and created the biggest scandal! That's why Márcio and I showed up like that, looking like we were attacked by men."Carla's eyes widen as if they're about to pop out of their sockets, "Was it a WOMAN that caused all this?""She was an old lady, but she had a heavy bag!" Aline complains, "She grabbed my hair and slapped me. She kicked Márcio between his legs. She cussed us with countless bad words. It was a nightmare, friend!"Aline opens her arms, but Carla refuses to hug her, "No, Aline, don't come and want my support on this! I should have stopped you two."Aline is indignant, "It wasn't up to you to allow it or prevent it.""Now I need to exp
At Gomes Estates, Bruno intercepts Márcio leaving to meet a client."Márcio, do you know if Aline comes to work?"Márcio is shocked by the question, "Huh? I don't know her professional schedule, sir."Bruno replies wryly, "Oh, I forgot. She's just your sex doll. I thought she was your friend."Márcio gets angry and scowls, "When Mr. Silva offered me this job, I didn't think I would have to reveal my personal life.""It was you who wanted to inform me of this ignominy." Bruno extends his index finger, "And there's more: I also don't believe that Mr. Silva recommended you to have intercourse with my collaborators.""Is there a law that prohibits realtors from dating?" Márcio asks mockingly."Not exactly, but in your case, we can't even call it a 'relationship,' can we?" Bruno blinks evilly and walks away.Márcio stomps and finds George in the entrance room, getting a cup of water from the drinking fountain."They really want to control my intimate life!" Márcio grumbles."Mr. Castelo?"
Aline enters Gomes Estates and is approached by George before she says 'good morning' to someone. Sabrina is at her secretary's post and smiles sarcastically at her enemy."Aline, we urgently need to talk about yesterday." He pulls her to the corner."We have nothing to talk about." She shrugs, "I'm better, ready to work again."George smiles wryly, "So can I join you this time?""NO!" Aline screams in panic.Sabrina wiggles contemptuously. Aline and George are supposed to talk in low tones, but the secretary hears the entire conversation.George scrutinizes Aline with his eyes and captures her entire body reaction. Aline is shaking, on the verge of a nervous breakdown, "Don't freak out, Aline. Márcio told me the whole truth."Aline's eyes were watery, "I swear, George, I didn't mean to do anything bad!"George wrinkles his nose, and then continues, "What did you expect? The client walked into the house and found you getting tangled with Márcio in the bedroom that was supposed to be h
Anestor and Reginaldo confer in the master suite about what is happening."Master," Anestor began, "you need to get out of here as soon as possible.""And leave my dear wife behind?" Reginaldo bravely refuses, "She's there at the hotel, willing to sacrifice her reputation.""What exactly does your damn father-in-law want?""He wants revenge for the strike I incited." Reginaldo is frowning, "He's doing his best to see me out of the hotel."Anestor cannot understand Antonio's sick mind, "This old man is crazy, he needs to be committed to an asylum.""Too easy solution for him." Reginaldo grits his teeth, "He needs to be demoralized. If he goes to a mental institute, people will pity him. I want everyone hating and despising Antonio Ferreira!""And how is that possible?" Anestor asks in a desperate tone.Reginaldo ponders for a few seconds, "I'll have to have enough power to crush him."After saying that, Reginaldo gets up and walks around the master suite, pondering the next step in the
"Please, Sergeant Oliveira, don't insult my intelligence," Laura responds by becoming more comfortable seeing the sergeant's bodily reaction.It's becoming clear to her that the sergeant is also finding this attempt to frame Reginaldo illogical and surreal. If Laura is the victim, then she should have made the report, not her father.Laura takes the opportunity and translates what the sergeant thought, "Sergeant Oliveira, if my father is so concerned about my well-being, why didn't he report Reggie when the 'rape' occurred? Why did he force his daughter to marry the rapist?"Sergeant Oliveira nods in agreement, "I understand your point of view.""And did my father tell you what prompted him to make the accusation precisely today?" Laura leans forward."No, he didn't go into details." Sergeant Oliveira confirms with an ironic smile."So, Sergeant, since the 'victim' here is not going to press charges, the precinct cannot investigate a non-existent crime, correct?"Oliveira stands up, "
Laura arrives at the Ferreira House safe and sound. Anestor was mopping the floor, which got so clean. Laura was even afraid to step on it, afraid of staining the newly cleaned place.Anestor smiles at the mistress, "Pass behind the sofa, ma'am. Your husband is waiting for you in the kitchen."Laura has the feeling of being Empress Sissi again, but she shakes her head and heads straight for the kitchen.Finding her hubby drinking passion fruit tea, she smiles in relief, "My love! Do you still have a plan after everything that's happened?"She kisses Reginaldo's cheek and goes to the teapot to pour herself a cup.Reginaldo calmly responds, "It's necessary, Laura. Your father won't rest until he sees us in the gutter.""And I won't rest until I see him locked up in a madhouse or dead!" Laura has an amazing transformation in a few seconds, just like what happens in some mangas: from a sweet wife to a goddess of death.Reginaldo leans back, startled by Laura's bloodthirsty outburst, "Calm
Reginaldo gave up going to the hotel to defend Laura since she had managed to defeat her father in yet another battle. So he went upstairs to the master suite and put out his formal clothes.Now he was in beach shorts and shirtless, walking along the sandy beach with his wife, also dressed in light clothes and a cute hat on her head.The afternoon was advancing and the first signs of sunset were visible on the horizon. Bathers packed their things to leave, while some enjoyed a final farewell swim.Reginaldo was thinking about the plan. Laura thought Aline had bought that navy blue tuxedo to pay him for sexual favors as if he were a hooker. What would Laura think if she knew that Aline was working at the real estate agent he'd mentioned?It was best to keep it a secret."What are you thinking, honey?" Laura interrupts his thoughts."In the next step of our lives." Reginaldo smiles, "Did you realize, Laura, that everything got easier for me from the moment you decided to support me?"La
Wednesday. Reginaldo once again wore a social outfit to face his evil father-in-law. While he wore a white shirt with blue stripes and black dress pants, Laura folded the porter's uniform for her husband to return to Mr. Rosendo."I texted Mr. Rosendo, dear." He warns her from the closet, "He understands my situation.""That's good. Let's wrap up the mess and make my dad think he won that one." Laura sighs.She wanted from now on to lock her father up in the nearest asylum, but Reginaldo insisted on acting calmly and prudently."And Anestor agreed to take a job at the hotel?" Laura asks.Reginaldo comes out of the closet with his shoes in hand. He sits on the bed and puts on his socks, "Yes. Let's see if my father-in-law will accept it.""He only met him once at the police station, when Eduardo tried to kidnap me." Laura remembers this, "He might as well keep my father unsuspecting.""Anyway, let's wait for what happens." Reginaldo is excited, "After facing the dragon, I'm going to th
