Monday, working day. Reginaldo and Aline wake up marveling at the prospect of getting married because today Reginaldo will formalize the divorce.They exchange kisses and caresses despite the bad morning breath.“Good morning, future husband!” Aline greets him.“Good morning, future wife.” Reginaldo chuckles, “Who knew? Today, the shackles that bound me to the Ferreira family are finally released.”Aline leans back against the headboard, “And after that, we'll let those freaks go, right?”Reginaldo breaks the smile and doesn't answer.Aline doesn't like the silence and is alarmed, “Hey, honey... This is the end, isn't it? After you divorce that viper, you will never again create strife or feud with that hideous old man.”“Are you asking or stating?” Reginaldo asks seriously.“I am stating. And if I wasn't a submissive wife I'd be ordering you around.”Reginaldo turns to her, “Honey...”But Aline doesn't want to hear, “Oh no, Reggie, are you serious? Do you want to continue fighting th
Aline is in the kitchen eating breakfast with Charlotte beside her, serving her. She is in casual wear.“And do you believe, Charlotte, that my future husband insists on waging war against those bores? I fear that one day Antonio Ferreira will gun us all down at our wedding ceremony.”Charlotte feels goosebumps, “Don't say such a thing, miss! After all, you are absolutely right. The less intrigue and clashes, the better for everyone involved. Is it not so with your parents?”Aline smiles as she chooses toast with plenty of honey, “Yes. Instead of wasting our lives fighting, we forgive each other. And Reggie saved the bank. That statement by Caio Campos promising to reactivate the bank account made many customers do the same.”“And now Boss Reggie will go from hating in-laws to loving in-laws.” Charlotte completes very excitedly.“Yeah! Long live peace and love. At least I will fight for peace in this house.” Aline is delighted with the toast.Carla enters the kitchen, “Good morning! H
Denise tries to explain to Eduardo without committing to her hunt for George Correia. She smiles lightly, “It's unfair that shameless women like Aline Mendonça still manage to have the best of life without suffering the consequences for her actions.”Eduardo approaches and sits on the couch next to her. He reads the news on the tablet and is surprised.“What? Engagement party at Mendonça Manor? But how... Aline Mendonça smiling and happy? How did this minx get it?”“This is an engagement party for her best friend, Carla Fortunato. I don’t know her vlog.”“Oh, it's explained!” Eduardo barks, “This so-and-so is a leech who lives using Aline's image to leverage her vlog. Of course, when Aline gets into trouble, she disappears. But to ask for favors, like celebrating her engagement at her mansion, then she remembers that she has a rich friend.”“You mean she's poor?”“No, she lives here in Sunset Village too.” Eduardo is scowling, “But she can't do anything other than surf the Internet, s
Marianne feels she has heard wrong. Denise Lynch is asking for Carla Fortunato. Why?“I confess I am confused by your question, my dear.” Marianne smiles gently, “Sit down.”“Why is it so hard to tell me about this vlogger?” Denise sits down and asks with some disdain.“It's because I don't know her very well. I know she is the best friend of Aline Mendonça, a very troubled minx who has only caused chaos in my life.”“Yeah, I read a little bit in the papers, and Eduardo told me a lot of horrible things about her.” Denise nods, “So I wanted to know if this vlogger is also trustworthy.”“I never met her in person,” Marianne answers categorically.“Aline Mendonça is her best friend.” Denise frowns, “Does that mean she doesn't go to her friend's parties?”“No, I think I must have seen her at the birthday party held in the ballroom here,” Marianne responds bitterly for having remembered the party.“I found it interesting how a person who apparently is not from our milieu managed to get an
Reginaldo decides to go up to the master suite, but Aline doesn't give up and goes after him.“Are you going to ignore me now?” Aline asks as they go up the stairs.“No. I love you and I’ll never take my eyes off you.” Ironically, Reginaldo answers this when his back is to her.“Reggie, forget about all this awful brawling and feud. Let's get married and be happily ever after!”Reginaldo stops the steps and turns to Aline. He takes both her shoulders, “My love, you don't understand my situation. I still need to sort out the pending issues in the capital.”“What pending issues?” Aline asks disinterestedly.“My hateful cousins continue to covet my throne.” Reginaldo speaks furiously, “They tried to poison my father, thinking I would never go back to business. Well, now they know I'm back and they're gonna want to slaughter me in front of public opinion. But since I divorced Laura, I have the upper hand.”Aline sighs, “You mean the divorce wasn't the end, it was the BEGINNING?”Reginal
In the master suite, Reginaldo enters and takes off his jacket while Aline enters behind, complaining.“Reggie, you're not in your sanity. You can't expect me to go back to that real estate agency, not after I've been humiliated and kicked out!”Reginaldo turns to her, “Is that what happened? As I recall, you were the one who resigned over the phone after creating a huge mess with Márcio, God rest his soul!”Aline scoffs, “For sure Márcio is with the Devil. God doesn’t accept those who died after doing the ugly deed to heaven.”“If so, you won't go to Heaven either.” Reginaldo growls, “Why, Aline, just answer me: WHY did you have to have sex with Márcio in the house you were going to sell to a client?”Aline sits up in bed, as if she's faced with the million-dollar question, “I don't know, Reggie...”Reginaldo loses patience, “Of course you know! Only you can answer that question! Was that a way you arranged to get back at me?”Aline turns to him with wide eyes, “Me, get revenge on yo
Carla is in her office sending interested clients to realtors. Sérgio was talking to her standing up.“Yesterday I got a sale thanks to your ads, Carla. Thank you so much for letting me pay the house bills.”Carla laughs heartily, “You guys act like I'm saving you from starving.”“In a way, you are.” Sergio winks, “George is very lucky to have you as his wife.”“We are still engaged, Sergio.”“And the party was amazing, I was even in the tabloids!” Sérgio exclaims good-naturedly, “Well, I better let you work.”“And you need to work too.” Carla smiles back, “I just sent you another interested client.”Sérgio’s cell phone vibrates and he promptly takes the device out of his jeans pocket, “Thank you!”The door opens and George enters, “Sergio, have you forgotten that Carla is now my fiancée?”“The big party didn't let me forget. Excuse me!” Sérgio taps George's shoulder and leaves.George closes the door and approaches Carla, “Are you alright, my love?”“No, I'm not cheating on you with
Marianne heads to the restaurant and finds Denise having lunch alone. Perfect opportunity to talk about what she had asked.She approaches the table and greets her, “Hello, Denise! How's lunch?”“Lunch is delicious, Mrs. Ferreira.” Denise smiles kindly, “This filet steak is juicy.”“I guess you can call me Marianne.” She pulls out a chair and sits down.“Well, since we're going to be friends...” Denise nods, “What did you come to say?”“I came to talk a little more about Carla Fortunato. I took advantage of the moment to call Mr. Correia and apologize for the inconvenience. My husband has every dumb idea...”Denise nods, worried. One more reason for her to get away from Eduardo who is blindly following this senile gentleman, “Keep talking.”“Mr. Correia was an excellent gentleman, he noticed that I was upset and accepted my apologies.” Marianne continues, “I even mentioned his father. The poor guy really loves his dad and is rooting for his recovery.”“That's great.” Denise is more in
