Carla and George are watching a late-night TV show. George is shirtless and Carla snuggles into his chest. A bucket of popcorn is next to them. Since the program is a comedy, they laugh.The bell rings and Carla decides to get up to see who it is.Upon opening the door, she is surprised by Aline, “Friend, how can I help you?”“Carla, I need to talk to you and George as he lives here too.”George is alerted upon hearing his name, “Hey, I'm here.”Carla makes room for Aline to enter. And when she does, she has to stop herself from drooling over her best friend's fiancé's bare, manly torso.“Guys, you don't have to agree to this. But something urgent happened to Reggie's sister and he had to go to the capital.”Carla is moved, “Oh, no... Something to do with the pregnancy?”“That's what Reggie said.” Aline continues seriously, “However, I have no intention of being alone in my house. Anestor is in heat and wants to f**k me at all costs.”George smiles wryly, “And you're not going to take
On the other side, in the Ferreira Mansion, Antonio is impatient in the master suite waiting for Marianne to answer the call.“Where is she, where is she?” He growls.After the connection is dropped, he tries again, but this time...“The number you dialed is out of range or turned off.”“Damn it!” Antonio throws the cell phone on the double bed, “She ran away! Surely she and Laura ran away... is she still at the Ferreira house?”Antonio runs to the closet to put on some clothes, since he was still wearing a blue robe.******At George and Carla's apartment, she and Aline are confused by George's decision.Carla begins, “Honey, I'd like to know what you mean by sleeping in Aline's old room.”George smiles kindly, “It's simple, dear: I'll let you two chat, catch up, while I relax with a book.”Aline realizes that George is emotionally blackmailing her not to stay in the apartment, “Nothing like that, guys. I didn't come to disturb your intimacy...”“Well, it won't be for long, will it?”
Antonio arrives at full speed in his car at the Ferreira House. He's dying to snatch Marianne back to the Ferreira mansion as if they were in Prehistory.However, as soon as Antonio turned off the car's engine and got out of it, he realized that his trip had been in vain.All visible lights were off. There were no cars around.“Did they keep the car in the garage?” Antonio clings to hope.He decides to check 101% to convince himself that the trip was not in vain. He goes to the door and tries to open it, but it’s locked.Antonio then reads a poster that is on the wall next to the door, “For sale. Gomes Estates. Realtor: George Correia. Telephone...”Antonio tries to look through the window of the door and is convinced that the house is empty and abandoned. Not even that crazy maid stayed to maintain the cleanliness.“I told that maid that she would soon be out of a job. Well, she didn't show up at my hotel with her resume, so she must be on street corners prostituting herself!” Antoni
The next day, Carla and Aline wake up and stretch.“Hmm... good morning, dear friend!” Carla greets her, “Did you sleep well?”“I slept with the angels,” Aline responds smiling.“Aline, I'm still worried about what you told me about Anestor Vieira, the perverted butler.” Carla leans against the headboard, “How do you intend to resolve this mess?”“Do you think we will have trouble?” Aline yawns with her hand over her mouth so Carla doesn't smell her bad breath.“Yeah. One day Reggie will be away on business and you’ll remain alone at Mendonça Manor with him.” Carla alerts her.Aline feels goosebumps. She imagines herself naked on the double bed in the large suite, struggling and trying to escape Anestor's virility and male, ferocious skill, and him subduing her with fire and voluptuousness.She shakes her head frantically as if waking up from a nightmare, “NO! This cannot happen...”Outside, George was walking in boxer shorts to his room, but upon hearing Aline's scream, he stops at t
At the private clinic, Natalia gets angry again when asked about the reason for her stress.Bartolomeo looks at the monitor recording the heartbeats, “Daughter, control your emotions. Don't you think about your baby's health?”“Of course I do.” Natalia responds sourly, “But I want my baby to stay away from promiscuous Aline.”Sylvia rolls her eyes, “Daughter, we've been through this. Aline Mendonça has regenerated and regrets past actions. Reggie forgave her. Who are we to be contrarian?”“We are his family, the Fabray family. Reggie bought the bank from her father.” Natalia responds, “We have the power to give our opinion and I’ll give my opinion at all costs.”“But why, Natty?” Bartolomeo caresses his beloved daughter's head.Natalia thinks for a few seconds before replying, “I received information from Lagoon City. Aline Mendonça continues to walk in public without panties and cheats on Reggie with other men.”Bartolomeo and Sylvia get stunned.“No, Natty, I won’t believe this info
At the private clinic, the conversation continues between Natalia and her parents. “Daughter, you need to control yourself and not believe any slander they tell.” Bartolomeo continues to warn her, “This is unfair for Matias and us.” Sylvia has a mental snap, “Ah, Matias...” Natalia shakes her head, trying to look around the hospital room, “That's right, I didn't see my dear. Where is my husband, why hasn't he come to visit me?” “Sweetheart...” Bartolomeo clears his throat, “Reggie wants you and Matias to get a divorce.” Natalia widens her eyes and is extremely flabbergasted, “WHAT? Y’all say you don't want me to stress but tell this idiocy? Why would Reggie decide such an absurdity?” Bartolomeo sighs, “Natty, you know how protective and caring your brother is.” “This has nothing to do with.” Natalia shakes her head, “I don't make love to Reggie, I have my husband! I am pregnant with him, my son will not be born without the father present!” “Calm down, daughter.” Sylvia tries to
At the private clinic, Bartolomeo gets up and checks Natalia’s things that are kept in a chest of drawers.Sylvia calmly talks to Natalia, “I think you better sleep now, daughter.”“Yes, mom. It was a lot of bad news.” Natalia smiles.“Don't worry, your marriage to Matias is assured. If you still love him and don't blame him for what happened, then everything will be resolved.”“Thanks, Mom.” Natalia closes her eyes and tries to sleep.Bartolomeo seemed to be standing still, staring aimlessly at the chest of drawers. But when he glances over and sees that his daughter is resting, he slowly pulls out one of the drawers.He finds her cell phone.Sylvia strokes her daughter's hair and stays by her side. Bartolomeo seizes the moment and puts her cell phone in his pocket.He goes out of the room, catching his wife's attention.Sylvia gets up and goes after her husband, “Darling, wait. Did something happen?”“Yes.” Bartolomeo stops and says in a low tone, even though he is far from his daug
Taddeo is thrilled when Marianne announces that she has asked Antonio for a divorce.He sits down next to her, “Congratulations, dear. Now we can celebrate.”“It's still early, Taddeo.” Marianne calms him down, “I need to hire a lawyer from Damascene Lawyers, as I'm sure Antonio won't let it go cheap.”“He won't let it go because he still loves you?”Marianne purses her lips and then responds, “No, it's just his bruised ego. It would be all right if HE was the one asking for a divorce, but since I am...”“What a damn sexist…” Taddeo grits his teeth, “Marianne, sometimes I wonder what the world would be like if we were the married ones.”“Perhaps George had not been born, and that I wouldn’t like to imagine.” Marianne shakes her head.“Why?” Taddeo is amused by the answer.“Because he has been an excellent broker. Your son is an excellent citizen and deserves my congratulations, Taddeo. You knew how to raise an exemplary son.”Taddeo has a mocking look, “OK, enough of the compliments,
