A few more days passed. At George and Carla's apartment, the doorbell is rung. Carla shows up in casual clothes to answer.

"Who is it?"

"It's Taddeo."

Carla opens the door with a smile, "Taddeo! What a surprise. Come in, George is taking a shower."

Taddeo comes in very excited, "So glad I found you guys. This Sunday is a very hot day, begging us to go to the beach."

"But that's exactly what we did." Carla gestures for Taddeo to sit down, "We went to the beach and came back not long ago."

The bathroom door opens and George comes out just wearing a towel around his waist and using another one to dry his hair, "Dad? Did something happen or is it just a Sunday visit?"

Taddeo chuckles, "Need a serious reason to visit my son?"

"Well, of course not." George smiles.

"Well then, I do have something important to say. I hope you two can forgive me for not waiting." Taddeo makes suspense.

Carla already takes her cell phone, "I'm waiting, future father-in-law."

"Marianne and I have decided to get

    Taddeo gets up to leave, "Well, then you've been warned. Tomorrow from six pm you can come to Laura and Marianne's apartment. Ah, here's the address." Taddeo pulls a piece of paper from the pocket of his shorts and hands it to them.Carla takes it, "Thanks, Taddeo. I think we're gonna have a great time. And congratulations!""You're welcome, thanks for the confirmation. Bye!"Carla leads Taddeo outside. When she closes the door, she turns to find the fiancé still confused."What's up, honey?""I didn't like this rapprochement between Reggie and Laura." George frowns, "I thought it was dangerous.""Dangerous for what reason?" Carla is reassured, "Laura is our friend and she needed that encouragement. It's a good thing Reggie doesn't hate her, he has plenty of enemies already.""Laura might get confused." George dries his hair which is already dry.Carla smiles dreamily, "It would be a beautiful love story if they got back together, without her father forcing the marriage. There's just

    On the edge of the beach, Laura is overwhelmed by the intimate questions that Eduardo is asking amid countless beachgoers. Some of them managed to hear the inappropriate words and push their children away from them.Laura grits her teeth, "Cool, Eddie! Keep up those outrageous questions. I'll lend you a megaphone!""I just want to make sure I can spread out the wedding invitations without finding out you're carrying someone else's child.""Weren't you going to say 'Jacob' baby?" Laura widens her eyes."Not exactly." Eduardo takes a firm stance, "Laura, I need to know: was I the only lover you had while you were married to Reggie? You know very well that YOU weren't my only woman."Laura is shocked and gets up from the bench, "Let's not have this conversation here, in the middle of everyone!"Eduardo also gets up, "OK, then let's talk while we walk, or let's go to my loft.""Your loft would be better." Laura frowns.The two leave the beach promenade and cross the avenue to go to the bu

Laura exclaims, "And then you complained that I gave away Aline's head, huh?""You two made the mistake!" Eduardo exclaims, "That wasn't supposed to happen. What did Aline do that was so serious to deserve that inhumane treatment?""Perhaps Carla got tired of warning her best friend to behave decently since she was always fornicating with you," Laura comments jokingly.Taddeo can't take it anymore and strides into the hallway, catching up with the couple. Eduardo already had his hand on the keys to unlock the door."Hey, wait a sec!""Taddy?" Laura exclaims in surprise."Laura, what do you think you're doing with that imbecile? I hardly recognized you, my daughter!" Taddeo complains.Eduardo rages, "Listen here, sir—"Laura interrupts him, "Eddie, he's George's father!"Eduard

I would have talked to Carla and convinced her to invite me!""Aline, why do you want so much to be invited to a party with people who don't like you?" Reginaldo frowns.Aline smiles ironically, "Wow, aren't the Ferreira ladies invited to Carla's wedding? I'll have to learn to live with them!"Reginaldo doesn't like what he hears, "Negative. You're trying to cause harm between them. Then they decide to take revenge and I won't lift a finger to save you."Aline widens her eyes, "Am I listening right? Is my love refusing to save me if I get retaliated?"Reginaldo shrugs, "Why would you want to cause a fuss when you can very well avoid conflict? And as for Laura and Marianne showing up at George and Carla's wedding, that was the bride and groom's decision, it's not up to us to protest. At least at OUR wedding, they won't be."Aline still feels itchy feet.

Who hasn't heard?"Everyone breaks into laughter. Marianne laughs through her tears.Taddeo kisses one of Marianne's hands, "Well, as I'm new to this circle of friends, it's best to explain to those who don't know me yet. I knew this beautiful woman in my youth, but unfortunately, our paths didn't cross. I thought that I would never see my first crush again. But as I recovered from a stroke, it seems that God took pity on me and reintroduced me to her, and now here we are, fixing and fulfilling what could have been in the past. I am so happy for the second chance and for meeting you again, Marianne."Marianne feels compelled to say something, "Unfortunately, I suffered a lot with your absence. I don't regret having my daughter Laura, she is the best thing that happened to me during these long years. But that's i

    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

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.

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?
