Reginaldo meets a very curious Donald at the Brisa do Mar coffee shop. Reginaldo realizes how his future father-in-law has aged five years in five months.Donald looked around, afraid of being recognized."Mr. Mendonça?"Donald looks at Reginaldo and has the recognition, "It's you, bastard, who kidnapped my daughter! Why did you take her out of the house just to leave her with Eduardo Casemiro? Because of you, that boy died at the Ferreira Hotel, and now my bank went bankrupt."Reginaldo sits down, "Didn't I tell you I'm here to save your bank?"Donald sneers, "You'd better spend your money on another venture, young man."Reginaldo smiles in a feline way, "I insist on keeping the bank within the family. Mr. Mendonça, the story of Aline being temporarily with Mr. Casemiro has an explanation that is not worth telling now. What I can tell you now is that she's safe with me, we love each other and we're getting married."Donald starts to show interest, "Did she promise to behave with you,
Laura arrives at Ferreira Hotel. Jacob parks her car. Before she leaves, the mistress decides to continue to reason with the driver."Look, Jacob, not that it's any of your business...""I'm not demanding anything." He responds with some irony."...But the fact that we went to bed doesn't mean I don't love my husband."Jacob is unhappy with this, "You women complain that men separate love from sex. What are you doing then?""JACOB!" Laura doesn't know how to reply, "What's that? We went to bed once and you're already jealous of your boss?""No, I'm not jealous, I just hoped you'd be honest with yourself. And is your husband really my boss? He hasn't come home since yesterday."Laura gets angry at the thought that Reginaldo prefers to stay with Aline, "Wait for me here!"She leaves and strides toward the hotel.******At Gomes Estates, Reginaldo is talking to Anestor about the news in his office."Your parents are safe back in the capital, master.""Safe until the hateful cousins ret
Reginaldo returns to the loft and finds Aline watching television. But she gets up to listen to what her boyfriend has to say."Honey, you can keep watching television," Reginaldo says good-naturedly."I'm sure you have something interesting or important to say or both," Aline responds.Reginaldo is touched by Aline's loyalty, "OK, you say so. I talked to your father. He accepted my proposal."Aline hugs Reginaldo, very emotional, "Why am I still surprised? You get everything you want, Reggie!""Is that really true? Well, let's hope so."Aline breaks the hug, "So, when are you going to start?""I'll just be the money guy, Aline." Reginaldo sits on the sofa, "Your father will continue to manage the bank, with the difference that I will be the hidden owner. Your father will apologize to everyone at a press conference and I will try to talk to some clients who have left."Aline sits next to him, "What about our wedding, when will it take place?""We have to see the divorce first, honey."
Reginaldo arrives at the Ferreira Hotel and goes straight to Antonio's office where the heated conversation between the Ferreira family continues.Antonio has the word, "Listen to what I'm going to say: we can't go on like this forever. Daughter, I would even support you in keeping your marriage, but you weren't 100% honest with Reggie. Nothing will make me forget that you still have feelings for Eduardo. I don't know why Reggie just now asked for a divorce, I didn't tell him."Laura wipes her tears, "I thought for a moment that you told him because I don't see any other explanation.""I didn't tell either." Marianne states, "Maybe he really wants to be with Aline.""This is absurd!" Laura walks in circles around the office, "After all the trouble that little minx got into here at our hotel, costing our reputation, causing the death of one of her lovers... Why did my husband have to leave me for HER?""Does it really matter?" Antonio is tired, "Accept the divorce, Laura, and be happy.
Reginaldo decides once and for all to end the nightmare involving the Ferreira family."Guys, the day you wanted so much has come. I'll get out of your life."Laura clings to her husband, "No Reggie, I don't want you to leave!"Antonio rages, "Laura, have some self-respect!""You are content and victorious, correct?""Of course I am!" Antonio blurts out, "I never thought that this idiot deserved you. I only forced you into marriage to punish you for having lost your virginity to him. Well, I've been saying for months now that the punishment is over, so the two of you divorce and stop giving me a headache!"Reginaldo stares hard at Antonio, "Let's make one thing clear, you old idiot: I'm not asking for a divorce based on your opinion. I'm just tired of being part of intrigues and having to keep protecting myself from plots. I'll marry Aline to protect her from the same goal.""Protect her?" Antonio asks between chuckles."Don't tell me it was just a coincidence that Aline dated that mo
Laura returns to Marianne's office, her eyes burning from crying. Her mother locks the door so there are no interruptions."Daughter, do you understand why I told you to accept a divorce?""Not exactly, but I always know you want the best for me, unlike my father."Marianne smiles slightly and holds her daughter's face, "I believe it's best for all of us to let Reggie get on his knees with Aline Mendonça. When he realizes that it will be impossible to live with that uncontrollable promiscuous woman, he will return to his knees for you."Laura widens her eyes and sees the light at the end of the tunnel, "Mom... Do you believe that?""Well, I'm not a guesser, but with Aline Mendonça we don't have to guess. Do you really think that nymphomaniac will control herself even though she's married to one of the hottest men I've ever seen?"Laura smiles maliciously, "My father wanted Aline to stay with Eduardo... And the plan failed because Aline couldn't control herself and continued with her l
In Eduardo's suite, he is pensive on the couch after watching Donald's press conference. What was that?Is Aline's dad finally doing something decent for the first time?Denise catches him reflecting, "You're still in love with Aline Mendonça, right?"Eduardo quickly tries to cover it up, "What is it, Denise? You know I only have eyes for Laura.""I thought you were going to say you had eyes for me, but I'm glad of your 'honesty'. And how was your love life with Aline?"Eduardo gives a stern look, "There was no love between Aline and me; just degraded and sickly sex.""Poor thing." Denise giggles rather than being outraged, "And you're still surprised she's gone?""Yes, because Aline is one of those that you can do whatever you want with them," Eduardo responds without realizing how chauvinistic he is being.Denise sits down next to him, "And how has Laura been?"Eduardo huffs, "She loved me when she was married to Reggie Silva, but she doesn't want to divorce him. I think she always
Laura is helping herself to breakfast made with care by Paula. She sets the platters down while Jacob stands respectfully in a corner."Toasted bread with cheese and ham, fruit salad and ricotta cheese, madam." Paula makes the presentation."Is there anything with chocolate to make me happier?""We're out of chocolate, madam."Laura gestures to Jacob, "Jacob, go to the nearest grocery store and get the chocolate. And don't be late, I don't want to hear about my chauffeur swimming on the beach during business hours."Jacob cringes, "Ma'am, it was terribly hot yesterday and your car has no air conditioning.""Then arrange for the repair. Yesterday you reappeared fully of sand and salt on your body. And did you take any swimming trunks with you?"Jacob is further embarrassed to deny it in front of an elated Paula, "Ehr... I'm sorry, ma'am.""This uniform seems to be made of noble fabric, don't ruin it because I won't buy another one." Laura sighs, "Looks like things are going to change a
