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
The Tide of Fortune Chapter 26 When in Doubt, Confirm
Aline and Carla head to another table closer to the entrance, so they didn't get to scrutinize the room, which would result in finding Reginaldo and George.George notices his friend's distress."This can only be a coincidence!""What is it, Reggie?""Let's switch seats, quick." Reginaldo gets up.The two friends switch places and George visualizes the ladies, "Oh, are you running away from those chicks?""I am. One of them can't see me here as she's seen me selling popsicles on the beach."George rolls his eyes, "Are you really going to take this seriously? Wouldn't it be better if she knew about your new role? So she even decides to buy a penthouse with you.""No, I want to stay low-key so my enemies think they can easily defeat me. I'll just remove the disguise at the appropriate time."George nods and cuts a slice of the strawberry pie he's been eating.Meanwhile, Carla and Aline order the waitress."Ah, Miss Mendonça, congratulations on your birthday." The waitress kindly declare
The Tide of Fortune Chapter 27 Tell your mother
When George sees that Aline is heading towards his table and Reginaldo, he raises and lowers his eyebrows, signaling to Reginaldo that she is approaching. Afterward, he gets up and tackles Aline before she gets any closer."Hi, are you Aline Mendonça?" he asks almost throwing himself on top of her."Yes, I am..." Aline tries to see Reginaldo up close.Reginaldo takes advantage and gets up from his chair, going directly to the bathroom."A pleasure. Could I get your autograph?" George asks, barely disguising it.Aline frowns. She wanted to see his mate!"OK, do you have any papers?""I have the classic napkin." George takes a napkin from his table while Aline takes a pen from her purse.As she signs, Aline asks, "I think I've seen your friend from somewhere. Does he sell popsicles on the beach in Sunset Village?"George answers a little desperately, "No, no! He's a real estate agent. He just bought the Gomes Real Estate Agency, you know what it is.""No, I don't know, it's not from my
The Tide of Fortune Chapter 28 Do a Good Deed
The waiter brings the passion fruit juice for Laura to calm her nerves. Laura drinks in one go, scaring Marianne."I don't think you need to tell me anything else." She asserts, "Eduardo turned out to be a terrible future husband and you don't want to admit it.""NO!" Laura screams in horror. A couple who was close to her got annoyed and walked away."So what's up, my daughter? I don't have all day." Marianne looks at her wristwatch."Are you going to meet your friends for shopping?" Laura speaks with annoyance."And what else can a rich woman do?" Marianne asks indifferently."Well, according to my dad, I'll have to work." Laura gets up, "In fact, I think I'd better see him before he thinks I've changed my mind."Marianne takes Laura's wrist, "Daughter, you promised to work at the hotel to be Eduardo's fake wife. But now that you're not marrying Eduardo anymore, you don't have to keep the deal."Laura gets more and more desperate to see that Marianne is already affirming things witho

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.

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

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

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...”
