Aline finds Reginaldo exercising in the gym. She notices how her boyfriend is frowning, not because of the dumbbells and the reps, but because of the conversation she had with Anestor.

She takes a deep breath and decides before things get worse.

“Honey, I want to talk to you about something that will make you stop loving me.”

Reginaldo lets the dumbbell fall anyway, almost hitting his foot, “I’ll never stop loving you.”

Aline ducks her head, “Yes, you will, after I detonate this bomb.”

“Let me decide that, OK?”

Reginaldo sits down on a bench, takes a washcloth, and wipes the sweat from his forehead. Aline drools with the biceps that bulge with the repetitions, but she shakes her head and concentrates.

“Reggie, I want to tell you right before Anestor comes along and gossips, twisting everything.” Aline begins, “Or worse, I want to tell you before he decides to blackmail or threaten me.”

“This won’t happen again.” Reginaldo strokes her head, “He is being transferred back to the Fabray M

    Laura opens the apartment door and makes sure that Marianne is not there yet. Positive. She smiles contentedly, remembering the days she was with Anestor at the Ferreira House. Does he want to replay the good memories?With that in mind, she opens her bedroom door and checks to see if the room is inviting.The intercom rings and she answers, “Hello?”“Miss Ferreira, the guest you mentioned is here in the lobby.”“OK, let him up,” Laura confirms with a smile.Laura goes to the fridge and pulls out a pineapple pie that Marianne made and got delicious. Then she hurriedly puts coffee in the pot and washes the cups to use them.When she was getting the table ready, Anestor appears. The door was open.Laura senses his presence and turns to welcome him. She is surprised by Anestor's ordinary clothes.“Hey, where's the black butler suit?” Laura plays.But Anestor keeps serious and formal, “Laura, we need to talk. This will likely be the last time we speak.”Laura's eyes widen and her smile di

    Laura was not happy to hear Anestor refer to Marianne as someone's lover.“Of course not, Anestor!” She threatens to push the plate of pineapple pie away from him, “My mother is a saint. If she is in contact with Mr. Correia, it's because they really loved each other somewhere in the past. It was my father's fault that he wasn't the same husband she married.”“Was your father ever a decent guy?” Anestor finds it hard to believe.But Laura nods, “Well, he had to have been, otherwise my mother wouldn't have married him! It wasn’t an arranged marriage like in the East.”“Well then, may your mother be happy.” Anestor smartly picks up another piece of the pie, “Yes, I read about the divorce.”“Well then, in addition to you burning your status re-associating with my father, Reggie will think you betrayed him outright.” Laura worries about this detail.Anestor has that mysterious glint in his eyes again. Laura realizes that he is up to something.“You don't have to tell me...”“On the contra

    Anestor decides to go to Rocha Hotel to guarantee his job back. When he enters the hotel, the concierge does not receive him as he used to.“Sir, we have a problem with your access.” The doorman tells him, “Mr. Ferreira canceled your access to the hotel.”“I need to talk to him just to explain what happened.” Anestor firmly insists.The doorman smiles at the corner of his mouth, thinking that Antonio will order him to shoo Anestor away.But when he calls the office, Antonio answers with interest.“What? Is Anestor Vieira trying to explain why he disappeared?” Antonio smirks, “OK, send him in. Let’s see if he can convince me.”“Do you want...? OK, Mr. Ferreira...” The doorman hangs up in dismay.Anestor smirks, “It would have been better to have let me in without embarrassment...”In revenge, the doorman hands him a visitor badge. Anestor is not intimidated and proudly goes back to the wolf's den.Antonio is on his feet and smiles broadly when he sees Anestor enter, “Well, isn't the tr

    Anestor smiles again like a mischievous boy. Antonio thinks that the butler is too old for such a smile.“I want to continue living in Sunset Village.” Anestor pronounces his pretext, “It's pretty nice to live here. The neighborhood is fresh and pleasant, the beach is wonderful, the landscape is paradisiacal, the water is good for swimming naked, and best of all: I am surrounded by high society people!”“Won't you find all that in Victoria, living in the Fabray Mansion?” Antonio defeats Anestor's argument with a simple question.Anestor clears his throat unnecessarily to gain time. There's no way, Antonio is definitely smarter than before, “Ehr... Mr. Ferreira, I don't want to go back to a house where I lost trust in my bosses.”“And you think I trust you now?” Antonio counters.“I think we can have a second chance.” Anestor sells himself, “What happened, did you hire someone else yet?”“No,” Antonio confirms with a frown.“Do you have someone to replace your ex-wife?” Anestor looks a

    A few days passed. The real estate launch of the Yellow Light gated community, built by Rocha Constructions and promoted by Gomes Estates, has arrived.Reginaldo, in his office, was still not satisfied with Anestor's dismissal. The former butler was the most faithful and loyal person he believed he was, but because of Aline, he became corrupted.Aline, however, wants nothing to do with it and continues to admonish her boyfriend to focus, “Darling, forget about the perverted butler. One fine day, you would find me handcuffed to the bed and being forced by him.”Reginaldo is not satisfied, “Honey, you don't understand the value that Anestor had in our lives.”“He seems to have taken the Fabray family for granted!” Aline rages, “Why did he throw it all away because of me? Was it me who ordered him to call your sister and say nasty things about me? Any other family would have fired him by now. I get mad because HE was the one who quit!”“Aline...”Aline no longer listens to Reginaldo's co

    Reginaldo is taken aback by Matias's precise question. He leans back in his chair with surprise in his eyes and takes a few seconds to respond rationally.“Thinking about it from that angle, I really worry.” Reginaldo admits, “It seems that Aline carries within herself a poison that corrupts all men.”Matias shakes his head and smiles playfully, “Did you ever stop to think that you have the antidote?”“Do you think this will never happen to me?” Reginaldo asks in astonishment.“Yes, and I'll tell you why: all the guys you named just slept with Aline and treated her like a whore. You truly love her and want to marry her. For you, Aline is a woman worthy of being loved and respected. That's why YOU don't lose your mind.”“Okay, but how do you explain this thirst these people have to want Aline at all costs? Why did Márcio Rios miss a real estate launch to look for her? Why did Anestor prefer to resign rather than work at my parents' house?”Matias is unconcerned, “Man, these crazy peopl

    Carla is shocked when Aline tells her about Sabrina and Antonio, “Aline, this is not funny! What would that Sabrina want with that sclerotic old man?”“I don't know, and sometimes I wonder if I want to find out.” Aline trembles with fear.“Are you going to tell Reggie?” Carla worries about her friend.“Of course, I need to tell.” Aline vehemently states, “I'm not like those soap opera characters who don't tell people what happens. Communication is the key to a lasting and healthy relationship.” Aline smiles as she completes the idea.Carla looks over Aline's shoulder, “That being the case, I'll let my George know. Excuse me.” She leaves the post and goes to his post.George is greeting another family who's done business with him, “Thanks for stopping by, bye!”“Goodbye!” The family says goodbye with the documentation in the husband's hand.George, smiling, meets Carla, “Darling, I have a contract!

    At the back of the sports arena, away from the eyes of the clients, Bruno tries to understand what happened. George and Carla went to help.“Bruno, I didn't expect this troublemaker to be around.” Carla defends herself, “And even if that were the case, why didn't she come after me? Why did she go attack Joshua?”Bianca smirks, “I wasn't 'attacking' anyone, choose your words wisely, vlogger!”George scowls, “The fact is you won't leave the boy alone I don't know why.”“It's because it's fun!” Bianca outrageously admits, “I have fun with Joshua turning red, knowing he can't do anything to me because I'm a woman.”“You damn thing!” Carla can't control herself anymore and slaps the bully, “Can't he touch you because he's a man? Then let’s settle this between the two of us!”Bruno already puts himself in front of the two women, “Hey, let's not have bloodshed here! For God's sake, can't you two go a day without fighting?”George is stunned by Bruno's softness, “Bruno, don't you realize that

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.

    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

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

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

    In the hospital corridor, Bartolomeo was serious, receiving Reginaldo's call.“Yes, son, congratulations on the mission accomplished. We got rid of Henry without bloodshed. 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...”
