Aline doesn't understand why George is looking worried if the reason is to celebrate, “Is there a problem, George?”George quickly disguises it, cursing Aline in his thoughts, “No, I'm just admiring the beauty of the place! Where is Reggie?”“He already left. He went to buy a few things for us to eat.” Aline smiles back, “I promised to make Lasagna Bolognese.”George smirks, “You don't know how to make lasagna.”The hug is broken and Carla faces George. What was this?Aline eventually realizes what is bothering George and responds in a neutral tone, “I learned how to do it. Your girlfriend didn't tell you? I have learned many dishes. That girl who only fried eggs was left behind.”“I don't know why you bothered if you'll have a cook,” George speaks with slight sarcasm.“Sometimes the husband feels extra pleasure when his wife prepares a certain dish.” Aline responds by lifting her head haughtily, “Speaking of which, I'll check on the kitchen. Carla, will you watch the library for me?
The loaders finish turning on Reginaldo's computer on the desk. Carla looks around and notices the empty shelves. Donald took all the books, as well as the rugs and curtains.“Later we'll redecorate the place.” She speaks as if she owes the loaders an explanation.When they leave, Carla finds Anestor with suitcases.“Ah, Miss... Carla Fortunato, correct?” He smiles endearingly.“Yes, it's me. Hello...” They shake hands, “I didn't know you...”“I’ll also live here. Remember I worked for Mr. Silva.”“That's great. Miss Mendonça is in the kitchen with my boyfriend helping her.”Carla walks away. Anestor frowns and thinks that George is banging Aline with Carla a few meters away.When he decides to 'save' Aline, his cell phone vibrates with a message notification. He checks the device and widens his eyes at Laura's message.“Anestor, we need to talk in your apartment. My dad knows we slept together and threatens to tell Reggie everything if I don't accept the divorce. Someone recorded one
Anestor is talking to George outside Mendonça Manor, where Jacob used to wash his bosses' car.“What stream of rudeness was that you uttered to my master’s future wife, huh?” Anestor grabs George's neck.George's eyes go wide and he struggles to breathe, “Gasp... you're suffocating me!”“That's the intention! Does that mean you're scared that Miss Mendonça will open her mouth to your best friend? What a coward you are!”Anestor releases George. He coughs violently. Then he asks, “Why do I get the feeling... that she slept with you too?”“Shut up!” George snarls, “You want to be strangled right away? If my master finds out about this, you will be buried alive in the beach sand and no one will miss you!”“Carla will miss me, we love each other.”Anestor smiles ignominiously, “Allow me to comfort the widow. She'll forget about you in no time!”George's eyes are on fire when he hears this immoral phrase coming from a guy who is supposed to be straight and conservative as a butler, “Who ar
The day of George and Carla's engagement at the Ferreira Hotel arrived. And that's what's making Antonio seethe with rage.Laura visits her father to inform him of the decision she made and found him like this, “Ah, so you end up having a heart attack all at once! What is it now?”“Your ex-husband is the one who wants to kill me!” Antonio neighs, “He reserved the ballroom for the betrothal of his rabble friends!”Laura tastes vomit on her tongue, “Who are they? Dad, cancel that reservation immediately!”“That's what I intend to do!” Antonio picks up the phone from his desk and dials the reservation team, “Hello, this is Mr. Ferreira. IMMEDIATELY CANCEL THE RESERVATION MADE BY REGGIE SILVA FOR TODAY! I don't care if it's for his friends, I don't want low-class people tarnishing my hotel's reputation! OK!” He slams the mouthpiece down hard and takes a deep breath like a bull.“Thanks, Dad.” Laura smiles, “I came here to let you know my decision.”“Which?”“I will accept Reggie's divorce
Reginaldo and Aline wake up as husband and wife in the master suite at Mendonça Manor. The curtains were open, so they enjoyed the sun rising over the paradisiacal horizon.Aline turns to the headboard of the bed and sees the cell phone announcing a message from Carla. She picks up the device and reads.Reginaldo smiles and jokes, “Honey, it's not good to be looking at social media as soon as we wake up. How about washing your face, brushing your teeth, and having breakfast before then?”But Aline is already reading the message with a frown, “What? Carla just announced that the venue for today's party has moved HERE!”Reginaldo's last bit of sleep is gone. He gets up in his underwear and looks for his cell phone to check.After reading the message, he is also startled, “The party will be here? But what does Carla think she does?”Aline's face is somber, “I don't think we need to guess, Reggie. Your father-in-law canceled the reservation when he found out you made it.”“But this is abs
Laura no longer tries to hold back the tears that well up in her eyes when she finally admits that divorce is necessary. However, on the other end of the call, Reginaldo does not notice or is not interested in noticing that his ex-wife is crying.He just says nonchalantly, “I'm glad to hear you were honest with yourself, Laura. This situation of ours is unsustainable. Because of me, your father has done countless barbarities that make me question whether he is your father.”“Unfortunately, he really is my father, Reggie. Don't make my mom do a DNA test.” Laura sniffs.“But he has done horrible things for a father. No, after I'm divorced and out of your life, he won't have any more reason to plot and scheme against you. And you can be free to marry Eduardo.”Laura is disgusted by the writer's mention, “Do you think I'm going to be able to have anything with Eduardo after this mess with Aline Mendonça? He must be with other girls while I'm here suffering through the divorce. He hasn't c
After eating breakfast, Laura was thoughtful about what she had said to Reginaldo about Eduardo not having called even once since the tragedy happened.First, he hid in her parents' house. Afterward, he “turned himself in” to the police and clarified the matter. Sergeant Oliveira closed the case as an “Accident” and everyone returned to their normal lives.Then, at the turn of the year, Eduardo was seen by Laura with that beautiful, red-haired, and irritatingly perfect Denise Lynch. Afterward, her father insinuated that Eduardo and Denise don't leave the suite because they're like dogs in the heat all the time.Furious, she grabbed her cell phone and dialed his number.But to her surprise: “This phone number does not receive calls or does not exist”!“WHAT? The bastard blocked my phone?” Laura barks.Paula approaches with distrust in her eyes, “Miss, are you talking to yourself?”“I'm not crazy.” Laura quickly defends herself, “Eduardo is crazy for blocking my number. Who does he thin
George and Reginaldo talk in the library. They are sitting opposite each other.“Reggie, what a cool library!” George looks around in awe, “You really deserve it all here as a Fabray.”“George, be very careful.” Reginaldo raises a finger, “I struggled and sweated to ask Anestor not to call me ‘master’ in front of people, and even so he slipped away a few times.”George nods, “The day he went to get Aline from the loft he let it slip.”“Am I not telling you?” Reginaldo wipes the sweat with an imported handkerchief, “The guests at this party still don’t know that I’m Reggie Fabray.”“What about your hateful cousins?”“I believe they already know. They came here during New Year's Eve and asked a lot of questions, including to my father-in-law.”“Jeez, they have a lot of free time, huh?”“Not so much.” Reginaldo smirks, “My father informed me that they ranked second in sales in December.”George bursts out laughing, “Serves them right. Anyway, when will Gomes Estates be called Fabray Esta
