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
The Tide of Fortune Chapter 21 Too Late for Intimacies
Marianne doesn't understand why Laura doesn't want to tell Antonio about Reginaldo being a male escort, in her words."Daughter, you're lying to your mother, so you don't want your father to know?" Marianne folds her arms, "We'd better face Reggie with the truth. He's already a failure, there's no need to lie."Laura takes a deep breath, "Mom, what I told you about Reggie wearing new clothes is true. But telling Dad about this is the same as keeping quiet. Dad won't believe a word I say because of what I've done on that careless girl's birthday.""Miss Aline Mendonça, dear." Marianne complete with debauchery.The two ladies walk among the activity of porters, guests, and hotel maids. They go to Marianne's office. Unlike her husband's office, Marianne's contains feminine touches, such as flowers in vases and strawberry-colored walls."If you want, daughter, I'll tell your father that your husband is actually a male prostitute.""Thanks, Mom, but I'd rather hold that trump card." Laura
The Tide of Fortune Chapter 22 A Toast With Pizza
Reginaldo calls Márcio."Márcio, good evening. What time do you leave the store?"Márcio is surprised by Reginaldo's call, "Hello, buddy. I didn't think you would call so soon.""Did you think I would take this long?" Reginaldo thinks this is funny."No, it just takes a few months to start a business, don't you think?""Well, I'll fill you in on the details after you leave. How about it? At the Parmesan Pizzeria, on me?""Could be, I'm starving. See you there!"Both say goodbye and hang up.Moments later, Reginaldo and Márcio meet at the Parmesan Pizzeria. Being in the commercial area of Sunset Village, it is not necessary to describe how this pizzeria was built with the best material and how expensive and delicious the pizzas are.It's said that the owners are of Italian descent and prepare the pizza the same way it is made in São Paulo. The dough is not crispy and crumbly and the mozzarella cheese stretches while hot.Reginaldo ordered a pepperoni pizza and wine. Márcio is amazed
The Tide of Fortune Chapter 23 No Traces
Aline was stunned by Carla claiming that the popsicle vendor who stunned her was actually Reggie Fabray, the heir to the Fabray Real Estate Network.However, seconds later, Aline does 'pfff' and bursts out laughing, catching the eyes of all the customers around.Reginaldo also looks at her and smiles out of the corner of his mouth. Márcio notices the feline gaze of the future boss."You're getting that girl pregnant with just one look, boss."Reginaldo disguises himself, "Ehr... where were we?""I was picturing myself in a house by the sea after working with you as a realtor." Márcio jokingly responds, "As for you, you were thinking about—""You better cut the immorality before you get fired." Reginaldo threatens him with a smile."But I wasn't even hired in the first place!" Márcio objects to, in the camaraderie."Anyway, that's Miss Mendonça, famous for showing up without underwear at her birthday party weeks ago." Reginaldo doesn't take his eyes off her."And you liked what you saw
The Tide of Fortune Chapter 24 Was it a Threat?
Reginaldo returns from the pizzeria after closing the deal with Márcio. He walks through the foyer smiling as he remembers how many times Aline had looked at him...Aline...Reginaldo shakes his head, "This is not the time to fall in love, Reggie! Focus on your goal. She is the daughter of another influential family. Besides, if my incongruous wife's parents find out about me and her, they could destroy everything even though I don't love their daughter!"Reginaldo goes to the kitchen and finds it intact. No pots on the stove, no dirty dishes in the sink."Why did I think Laura would be back for dinner?"Reginaldo takes advantage of the empty house and goes up the stairs to the master suite. There, he removes all his clothes and moves permanently to the other room where he slept.After locking the door for fear of Laura attacking him at dawn, Reginaldo gets in his underwear and lies down, dreaming that he is swimming in the pool with Aline.******The next day, Laura is brewing the co
The Tide of Fortune Chapter 25 Secret Hard to Keep
Marianne tries to slap Reginaldo, but he is faster and grabs her hand."Let go of me, you cheeky!" She struggles."You don't have the right to hit me. I'm not telling a lie! If only Laura didn't have a lover... she desires me, why didn't she look for me sooner?" Reginaldo lets go of her hand.Marianne rubs her hand on her blouse in disgust, "And why would I know the answer?""You're sure to talk to your daughter. She's sure to be whispering to you about it.""As you said yourself, they are secrets!" Marianne takes a deep breath and tries to be smart, "Now, if you hadn't denied one night of lovemaking with my daughter... how can you expect her to forget her lover if you don't fulfill your marital obligation?""What for? So the next day she can complain to her dad that I forced her?" Reginaldo extends his hand pointing outside."OK, the conversation is unpleasant. I'm going to withdraw!" She turns on her heel and leaves the Ferreira House.Reginaldo closes the door behind her, almost ca

Chapter 792 The Prince Became King
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...”
