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
Tuesday. Reginaldo is smiling in front of Bruno in the latter's office. Bruno is curious about what his backer will tell him.“Reggie, it looks like you hit the jackpot.”“It's something better than that.” Reginaldo pulls up a chair and sits down, “Bruno, get ready for victory. Aline Mendonça will return to being a realtor.”Bruno laughs ruthlessly.“What's the fun?” Reginaldo scowls.“The joke is that you say that with such certainty... Oh, Reggie, your optimism is heartening.”Reginaldo bangs the desk, interrupting Bruno's laugh, “Stop being funny! This is not a joke.”Bruno leans forward, “OK, let's get serious. Are you really thinking you can announce the return of the minx who almost screwed us up last year?”“What happened last year will never happen again,” Reginaldo responds dryly.“And who guarantees that?”“The guarantee is me!” Reginaldo roars, “Bruno, don't forget who owns this company. And Aline Mendonça is my girlfriend. I won’t allow her to be like Laura, lounging aroun
Marianne is touched by the confidence that George shows her. She smiles and even gets teary-eyed.But she remains standing in the doorway of the room and ends up taking a few steps inside. In this, Taddeo notices her presence.He widens his eyes to the fullest, showing extreme surprise. And George turns around.“Hey!” He exclaims, "Wouldn't you be...?"“Hi, Mr. Correia. I am Marianne Ferreira, the wife of the owner of the Ferreira Hotel.” She introduces herself.George is delighted, “Yes, that's right! I saw you in some newspaper or tabloid. What are you doing here?”Marianne is at a loss, not knowing what to answer. Nor did she know for sure, “Ehr... You know, Mr. Correia, I saw the live transmission of your engagement, and I saw how moved you were by your father's state of health.”“Yes, you asked about him yesterday.” George turns to Taddeo.“Did you ask for me?” Taddeo raises his eyebrows.“Yes, father, she was very sorry for what happened.”“If it wasn't her fault, then she doesn
Reginaldo is horrified to hear Bruno tell him that he fears for the physical safety of Sérgio and George. But how can that be possible?“Bruno, are you crazy?” Reginaldo retorts, “I can even understand about Sérgio, the guy looks like one of those cowboys who work on the farm all the time with no shirt and no boxers underneath those tight jeans. But George? George is her best friend's fiancé!"Bruno smirks again, “For promiscuous women like Aline, the fact that George is a ‘forbidden man’ makes things more piquant and interesting for her. I can swear that she’ll prefer to try with George instead of Sérgio, who is single.”Reginaldo is disgusted, “You're forgetting one thing: she's MY GIRLFRIEND!”Bruno pretends he forgot, “Oh yes, we have that detail too!”Reginaldo also gets up, “Yes, and I believe in the woman I love. That's why I came here to announce my decision.”Bruno shrugs, “OK boss. It's your company, you're the one betting money on the minx. I just hope she doesn't make the
George is curious to know why his father is talking about wanting to avenge his son in front of Marianne.“Dad, here is a pitcher of water.” He puts it on a table next to the hospital bed, “I already thanked Mrs. Ferreira for sincerity. There is no need to threaten her.”Taddeo and Marianne don't know what to say.Taddeo clears his throat and explains, “Son, I wasn't threatening Mrs. Ferreira. I was saying that I intended to take revenge on her husband for mistreating you.”George wryly responds, “Yeah, get into a fight and trouble, get your blood pressure raised, and go back to the ICU. You already lost my engagement, now you want to lose my wedding?”Marianne hastily adds, “That's right, Mr. Correia. I don't want to cause any more trouble. My husband needs psychiatric treatment, and I believe that now with the divorce, my daughter and I will join forces to do so.”“Count on me.” Taddeo raises his hand.George chuckles, not realizing that his father already knows Marianne, “Don't min
