In Sunset Village beach, Reginaldo and Laura are having a great time as a couple. They just got out of the water and walk to where they left their stuff.

Laura sits on the beach chair and takes a towel to dry herself. Reginaldo adjusts his beach chair to lean back. All around, friends and families alike take advantage of the sunny Sunday to have fun.

After drying off, Laura takes the bottle of sunscreen and applies a second coat.

"You looked a little worried in the water, honey."

"I'm thinking about the next step," Reginaldo answers with concentration.

"May I know which one?"

Reginaldo swallows hard and is afraid. He was going to talk about his plans at Gomes Estates, but Laura thinks he's just a realtor, "My boss wants me to meet Alan Campos Rocha on Monday to talk more."

Laura nods with satisfaction, "Excellent, my love. That's why you're talking about buying a new car with a driver. We need to impress Mr. Campos Rocha."

"As the saying goes, the first impression is the last impressi

And why did they call you 'mister'?""It's a joke everyone played at the company."

    Reginaldo and Laura return from the beach. Paula is present in the foyer and collects her mistress's large canvas bag. "Good afternoon, bosses. How was the beach?" "The usual, Paula," Laura responds excitedly, "Lots of people having fun, lots of families together, the sun tanned my skin... Next time you’ll come with us." "I've prepared a passion fruit drink waiting for your return. Excuse me." Laura sits on the black sofa while Reginaldo remains evasive. "Paula always thinks of everything, doesn't she, honey?" Laura tries to remove him from the reverie. "Certainly," This is Reginaldo's dry reply. "And you've been distant since I told you that you don't let me criticize and make fun of Aline Mendonça." Reginaldo looks at his wife with a smile, "Are you jealous?" "I can't get over that she gifted you that navy tux after you two made love on the same beach we were on." Reginaldo shrugs, "It's better to get over it because she's no longer part of our lives." "Fortunately," Laura

    The next day, Anestor is doing cardio on the living room rug, with electronic music to set the reps in rhythm. Sweat oozing from his tight muscles indicates he's been on it for a while, but the narrowed, focused gaze shows he's into three more sessions. When he sits on the mat to do sit-ups, the cell phone on the coffee table vibrates. He checks the device and reads Marianne's message, "Can I see you today?" Anestor smiles devilishly and types, “Yes, you can,” with devil emojis. "Old Mr. Fabray, the best thing you ever did was send me here to watch over your son. I've never had so much fun in my life!" Anestor laughs and then starts the sit-ups. ****** At the Ferreira Hotel, Antonio is surprised that Eduardo is stressed and furious instead of being happy and content with Aline. "Eddie, weren't you the one who told me that having Aline by your side would be a blessing in your life? Why are you here about to go into cardiac arrest?" Eduardo responds huffing, "I didn't expect Ali

Unlike Eduardo, she puts her cell phone on the coffee table and goes around in circles."If I were at peace with my parents, I could defend them. But I don't even know if that's a lie or the truth. I've never stepped in that boring bank."Someone rings the bell. Aline answers the door and lets Carla in. The friend notices the other's dark expression."Friend, have you read the tabloids today?""That's when I regret having learned to read!" Aline desperately responds."Do you want to defend yourself from the accusations in my live stream?" Carla wastes no time.Aline wiggles, "I don't know my father's bank, so I don't know if these are slurs to defame my last name or if these are legitimate complaints."Carla is exasperated with Aline who does nothing in life but waste oxygen, "Well then, here's your first opportunity to leverage your fiancé's popularity by doing a good deed."Aline is intrigued, "Carla, I

Aline waves at the camera.Carla narrows her eyes at a corner of her laptop, “One of our subscribers sent a super chat with the following question: 'Aline, what do you think of the prosecution about your father's bank?'”Aline takes a deep breath and spills it all, “Just as my father held me captive in my mansion and I had to escape like Fiona and Shrek, it's only to be hoped that the employees' allegations are true. All my support and solidarity with the wronged workers.”“Thank you so much, Aline, for your opinion and support.” Carla can barely contain herself with pride, “See, guys?

    Reginaldo is talking to Alan Campos Rocha in his office. The construction tycoon is surprised that a realtor has such a beautiful and furnished office."Mr. Silva, is it you that I should discuss the agreement with?"Reginaldo takes a deep breath and decides to end part of the mystery, "Mr. Campos Rocha... Yes, it's me. I need to be honest with you.""That's the minimum for us to have an agreement." Alan jokes."Actually, I am the financier of this company. I learned that it was in financial trouble after the death of Laerte Gomes and I decided to invest in it."Alan smiles and nods, "Fine. So let's get down to business."Alan places on Reginaldo's desk a poster of a twenty-story residential building, with walls mixing white and peach. It was not a luxurious building, but with the undeniable quality of Rocha Constructions.Reginaldo's eyes widened, "Mr. Campos Rocha, what a beautiful building! Is it being built?""We've already started to build the floors." Alan responds, proud of the

Why didn't he come to review the real estate agency?""My father is having a great time in Tuscany with my mother," Alan responds good-naturedly."With that, the command of Rocha Constructions got in your hands, huh?" Bruno blinks, "Thank you so much for remembering us. Did Mr. Silva explain the situation to you?""Yeah, he said he's the real estate agency backer." Alan looks around, "I hope the building I presented can help you."Márcio enters the office without asking permission, "Mr. Castelo—"He chokes on words as he sees who it is.Bruno gets slig

    The telephone conversation between Reginaldo and Anestor goes on enthusiastically and exciting."Anestor, are you sure about this?" Reginaldo exclaims, "I thought my damn father-in-law had a heart attack just for catching Laura and Eduardo in bed! Nobody told me that Antonio tried to throw the imbecile off the balcony. If he could, Eduardo would crash on the concrete floor of the pool and die on the spot!""Exactly, sir," Anestor confirms, "I never thought that old cachet could have such a murderous streak. Do we need to be more careful?"Reginaldo ponders for a few seconds, "Well, the fact that he had the heart attack weakened him. Now, he needs to be careful with his temper if he wants to stay alive. But... That's why I first want to be well-prepared to face him. Even if Antonio doesn't attempt our life... he can send someone to do the dirty work.""Like Eduardo."

    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

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

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?

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

    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

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...”
