George rings the doorbell to Taddeo's apartment. He gets up and walks to the door with some difficulty in his left leg, confirming Carla's fears. When he opens the door, it's George.

“Hey Dad, you didn't ask who it was. Be careful, huh!” George hugs him and Taddeo kisses him on the cheek.

“I know it's you. Who else would ring my bell?”

George was going to say 'Mrs. Ferreira', but he sees Carla on the couch and stops in time, “Ehr... I don't know, interesting question. But you never know, safety is key.”

“Come in, son, your fiancée is here.” Taddeo gestures and closes the door.

George sits down next to the bride, “So, are you getting to know each other better?”

“Sure,” Carla responds quickly, hoping Taddeo won't bring it up...

But Taddeo is no telepath, “We were just talking about the usefulness of the fancy clothes you bought. I told her I intend to wear them to the parties you take me to.”

“Certainly, Dad, and you can be sure we'll have plenty of parties to attend!” George nods excit

    Carla retires to the kitchen, “I'll get some tea, and if there isn't any, I'll put some water on to boil. We need a break here, apparently.”“I don't have tea ready, Carla.” Taddeo responds, “If you don't mind...”“No, I'd rather help.” Carla leaves in a bit of a hurry, not understanding her future father-in-law's outburst.When Carla walks away, George asks in a quieter tone, "Dad, would you like to explain to me what's really going on?"“Son, it's better that you don't know.”“Too late. I bought these fancy clothes precisely so you could look decent and elegant for Mrs. Ferreira.”“You better call her Marianne.”George smiles slightly, “See? It's clear that the two of you have known each other in the past and are great friends... or should I say more than friends with your outburst.”“Don't call Marianne a bitch.” Taddeo warns his son with a somber expression.“What is the problem with Antonio Ferreira? Did you know him too?”Taddeo is surprised, “After everything you've told me abo

    Marianne in her office liked Carla and George's selfie. And she can't help noticing his daughter's young realtor.Why is she feeling a special connection with Taddeo's son?Antonio enters the office and finds his wife distracted.“Woman, wake up! We have a hotel to run!” Antonio bangs the desk, scaring his wife.“Oh, you couldn't be kinder and more careful, huh?” Marianne complains about how scared she was.Antonio snatches Marianne's cell phone and looks at the selfie, “Who are these imbeciles?”Marianne gets up angrily, “You don't know the couple and you already conclude they are imbeciles?”Antonio shrugs, not caring about anything or anyone.Marianne snatches the phone back, “They're the couple you stopped from having the engagement party here. I had to call them to apologize for the ‘fumigation’.”Antonio smiles like a rowdy elementary school student, “Friends of Reggie, I just did right.”“Yes, precisely why I apologized!” Marianne asserts, “Tony, don't you know about the big re

    At the Ferreira Hotel, Marianne starts to inform Antonio that she wants a divorce, but Antonio is already reacting with revolt and resentment.“Why are you so surprised?” Marianne fearlessly asks what she wants, “You should be surprised I didn't file for divorce sooner!”Antonio seems to have woken up from a trance by asking, “Are you serious? Do you want this horrible thing called a divorce? What is going on in this world, why doesn't anyone want to stay married?”Marianne smirks, “If you're referring to Laura and Reggie's affair, I might remind you that she wanted to stay married, but you set them up. How do you expect me to stay by your side after that?”“So that's what this is about?” Antonio crosses his arms, “Woman, that marriage shouldn't even have taken place. The idiot used a fake name! I hope the Fabray family doesn't come after me wanting revenge because I was tricked by the fraudster!”But Marianne keeps unconvinced, “No, Tony, there were other ways to handle this. When yo

    Aline is outraged when she hears Anestor wanting to threaten her in front of Reginaldo.“Is this serious?” She smiles contemptuously, “Now I've gone from being a lover to being blackmailed and threatened? Wow, Anestor, congratulations, you are a rollercoaster of emotions.”“What do you mean?”“I mean you have more unstable emotions than many women!” Aline mocks the butler bursting out laughing.Now Anestor changes to another emotion: anger, “Miss, don't you have a sense of danger? Imagine what would happen if my master knew that we had passionate nights of love, what would he do?”Aline stops talking and nonchalantly replies, “If Reggie finds out about this, he'll fire you. That’s simple.”“How about you?” Anestor insists.“I’ll continue to be the girlfriend and future Mrs. Fabray,” Aline responds with a confident smile.Anestor reacts mockingly, “Miss Mendonça is very confident! Do you really think Reggie will forgive this betrayal?”“I don't know; I'm just sure he won't forgive YOU

    At Mendonça Manor, Aline is putting her clothes away in the closet when Anestor approaches her with a sensual smile and the steps of a Mexican soap opera heartthrob.Aline sees the butler through the mirror's reflection, “You look like a jaguar about to pounce.”“Perhaps that is my intention.”Aline snorts, “You sick man. Ever thought of consulting Sex Addicts Anonymous?”“Never, because I never want to be cured; if we can say that making love to a woman is an illness.”“No, the disease is you wanting to make love to a committed woman when there are thousands of single women out there.”Anestor is dangerously close to Aline, “Young madam, I can't believe you have forgotten my virile and potent skill.”Aline continues to laugh and sneer at Anestor, “You don't understand, do you, Anestor? When we made love, I wasn't committed to Reggie. Now I'm his girlfriend and I want to be his wife. You're not going to ruin this, understood?”“I just want to enjoy what is rightfully mine!” Anestor gr

    At Gomes Estates, Reginaldo was introducing everyone to the team's new realtor, Joshua Dantas.“Guys, I want you to meet my friend Joshua Dantas. He worked with me at Ferreira Hotel and unfortunately he was fired by my ex-father-in-law. Therefore, I’ll give him an opportunity to start a new career from scratch like that with some of you.”Suddenly, Joshua's cell phone began to ring violently from the pocket of his dress pants. Bianca and Sabrina curl their lips in disdain.“I hope Joshua receives the same support and affection as always.” Reginaldo ends the presentation.Everyone applauds, except the known witches.Joshua reaches into his pocket and hastily pulls out his cell phone. He makes a face.Bruno approaches him, “What is it, young man?”“Damn it, a company that promised to hire me as a cleaner just called me!” Joshua wails with regret.Sabrina cackles like one possessed, “You idiot! You've just been introduced to all of us and you're about to leave us to be a janitor?"Joshua

    George enters Reginaldo's office precisely to talk to him about Laura Fabrics, as Laura expected to happen.“Buddy, we need to talk about something interesting. Have you looked at your social media?”Reginaldo takes his cell phone that was on the desk. He runs his finger over the device and keeps a straight face.George looks over at his best friend and notices that he isn't reacting with surprise, “Do you still have Laura Ferreira added as a contact?”Reginaldo does 'pff' and laughs, “Of course not, George! I don't want to make my girlfriend jealous.”George has a low opinion of Aline but decides not to express it directly, “Why... Aline should be more reasonable. Laura certainly just wants to be your friend. And you still haven't had a heart-to-heart with Laura about your true identity, have you?”“No,” Reginaldo responds as if he had forgotten to tell her.“Well then, I'll let you know that Laura opened her shop. Laura Fabrics. And, as it doesn't usually happen in this country, her

    Reginaldo questions whether George is very interested in Laura at the same time that Marianne is equally concerned about Laura constantly commenting excitedly about the real estate agent.George clears his throat unnecessarily, “Reggie, for Christ's sake! May Carla not hear you.”“May Carla not hear YOU, my friend!” Reginaldo chuckles, “Next time, I’ll photograph your face when you mention my ex-wife.”George is embarrassed, “I absolutely don't want to cheat on my fiancée, man.”“I am very happy to hear that. So I can remind you of your famous last words when you mention Laura again.”“OK, but I won’t cremate the clothes I bought.” George smiles mischievously, “I even bought some pieces for my dad.”Reginaldo decides to change the subject, “And how is your father?”“Living at the front door where I can come to him if he needs help,” George responds with warmth and love to his father.Reginaldo sighs, “Meanwhile my father is still in the capital.

    Aline breaks the silence when she sees Reginaldo meditating, “Don’t worry, Reggie. I know the whole story that was in the newspaper. Denise Lynch was the killer. 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. He got angry because the relationship between Denise and Jacob remained intact. He demanded that Denise help him win Laura back, otherwise, he would tell Jacob that Denise won him over on purpose.

Automatic gate, only at Mendonça Manor.But when Reginaldo went back to the driver's door, he felt he heard some noise.Was anyone moving in the bushes? Was a thief waiting to rob him?Thinking about how unlucky it would be to be robbed just when Faron wasn't there, Reginaldo slowly opened the driver's door, aiming for the revolver he had inside the car.If he's faster, he can arm himself in time.However, a voice made him give up his weapons.“Reggie...”Reginaldo froze for a few seconds. If he were in the desert, he would think he was seeing a mirage.

    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

    It's Taddeo and Marianne's turn to get shocked with the bombs. 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

    Joshua doesn't understand why George is saying goodbye once again.George thinks he will avoid the confrontation by starting the car and leaving for Gomes Estates.But Joshua palms the steering wheel, almost making George lose control of the direction.“OK, now you can explain to me what’s going on here?”“Josh, don’t make a fuss,” George states calmly.“What’s all this talk about Paris? 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?

Did he win, according to his last words?Still trying to assimilate Laura's words, Bartolomeo and Sylvia enter, back from the hospital.“We’re very excited for Natty's return tomorrow, son. What do you think? Do you think Natalia should spend some time here at the mansion, or should we leave her in her apartment, alone with her husband?”Reginaldo reacts quickly, “I think it's better to invite her to spend a few days with us, Dad. 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...”
