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

    Antonio is back at the office and is surprised by Anestor's absence. He calls Marianne's office."Honey, ask Anestor to visit me, I need him to run some errands."Marianne is taken aback, "What did you say, Tony? Anestor isn't here.""But he's not here either. So he's there."Marianne fusses, "Stop being a nuisance, man! Look for him elsewhere, I told you he's not here!""Did you see him appear today or yesterday?""No, I'm too busy trying to put out the fire that became our daughter's divorce."Antonio shrugs, "Marianne, we knew this day would come. I tried to force Reggie to stay married to our daughter forever, but she was the one who wouldn't. She was the one who refused to confirm my rape report. Now that I am pro-divorce, does she get mad at me?"Marianne takes a deep breath, "You'll never understand, will you? What really pisses Laura off is that you plotted her marriage, and now, you plotted her divorce. Things never just happened naturally, there was always manipulation on yo

    On the Fabray Network, Matias and Natalia are in their husband's office talking about their future child."Is it a boy or a girl?" Natalia asks, massaging her stomach, "Which one do you prefer, dear?""If it's a girl, let her be just like you." Matias replies gallantly, "If it's a boy, let him be just like you too."Natalia bursts out laughing, "No, the boy will have your beauty and sex appeal. After all, I wasn't blind when I fell in love with you."Matias blushes. He doesn't consider himself a hottie like Reginaldo or George. But if his wife says so...Henry and Cássio burst into Matias's office, foaming with rage like the bulls of Spain."Ah, the Fabray family is back from vacation, huh?" Henry barks.Matias and Natalia are startled."Be careful, you dog!" Natalia revolts, "I'm pregnant, I can't be scared.""How did you manage to get pregnant by this asshole?" Henry mocks her, "Did he rape you like men used to in the 19th century? Because you sure as hell didn't sleep with him will

    At Matias's office, Henry gets up after being knocked out by him. The hand that wipes the lips turns slightly red and Henry feels an iron taste on the tongue."For a skinny coward like you, you got a good right hook, huh?"Natalia rolls her eyes, "Why are you calling my husband a coward if he can defend himself and defend me?""Natalia, answer our question!" Cássio wants to get straight to the point, "Why did you hide from the people that you were going to party in Sunset Village?"Natalia avoids as much as she can, "And who said it was your business?"Henry is amazed, "Well... aren’t we family anymore?""NO!" Matias barks, "The moment you cut the family ties, don't come with this hypocrisy of unity! Yes, we went to have fun in Sunset Village and to ensure fun, we left you behind!"Henry and Cássio look at each other with naughty smiles."I don’t think that’s the answer." Cássio insists, "We thought you went to Sunset Village to meet Reggie."Natalia roars, "We didn’t meet Reggie. And

    Natalia runs like a little girl to her daddy's office. She is panting and her eyes are filled with water."DAD!" She exclaims desperately."DAUGHTER!" Bartolomeo stands up sharply from the presidential chair, "What happened, why are you so desperate? Did you lose a sale?""I'm losing my composure in front of the hateful cousins!" She closes the door and approaches her father's mahogany desk, "They came to interrogate me again. Luckily, Matias was with me and he punched Henry. I got pregnant again just with that manly gesture from my husband, father."Bartolomeo is a little uncomfortable hearing his little princess speak in these terms, "What is it, little girl? Come, sit on your old father's lap."Natalia does. Bartolomeo hugs her tightly, "Are you calmer? Remember that my little grandson cannot be harmed.""So tell Henry not to break into my office and scare me. He wants to know why we left Sunset Village."Bartolomeo laughs, "Oh, God, they're not even trying to hide that they're spy

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.

    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

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...”
