Laura is stunned by the savagery over the bouquet, "Hey, what's this mess? You guys are going to clean it up!"The female guests get up with difficulty. Their designer dresses are hopelessly stained with red wine and soda. One of the ladies’ knees was bleeding from broken glass. Paula, however, rises unharmed and triumphant, still with the bouquet in her hands."I won!" She exclaims, and everyone applauds.Jacob approaches her with a feline smile, "Congratulations, Paula. You've shown yourself to be tenacious and brave."Paula melts at his classic smile, "You're welcome, Jacob. Hey, do you want to be the next groom?"Jacob chuckles, "Are we going to have a honeymoon and everything else?"Paula responds in a libidinous tone, "I think we can cut the 'everything else' and just stay on the honeymoon, what do you think?"Jacob leans in close and whispers sensually in her ear, "Tomorrow we have work to do, and you need to walk. I don't want to risk it..."Paula feels chills all over her bod
On Tuesday, Antonio and Sabrina are in the Ferreira Mansion dining room having breakfast. Sabrina proceeds to check her cell phone for the latest gossip.When she looks at a certain article, her eyes widen in revolt."Dear!" Sabrina exclaims, "Your ex-wife already married someone else!"Antonio gets furious. He slams his fork down on his plate and glares at her, "Do you still believe in fake news?""So let's send Carla Fortunato to the fact-checking agencies." Sabrina wryly retorts, "There's even live video, how could that be fake?""Marianne swore she didn't have a lover, how could she have gotten married so quickly?" Antonio roars.Sabrina smirks, "Probably the same way you got married so quickly, huh?""It's different with me, I'm a man!" Antonio repeats the macho litany, "Marianne has no right to remake her life with another male, I’ll never allow that!"In a burst of fury, Antonio knocks the plate of scrambled eggs with bacon and the cup of coffee with milk to the floor. Sabrina
In the master suite at Ferreira Mansion, Sabrina still can't accept that Antonio reacted negatively to the news of Marianne's marriage.She comes out of the closet formally dressed for work and is shocked to catch her 'husband' checking his tablet and watching the wedding video!Antonio grunts, "Taddeo Correia, that's the bastard's name. His days are numbered!"In an impetus of desperation, Sabrina approaches behind him, snatches the tablet from him, and throws it at the wall, shattering it, "STOP IT!"Antonio gets up from the bed and glares at Sabrina, "What do you think you're doing, you bitch?"Sabrina's voice is shaky as she retorts, "We... We're not here to take revenge on these people! We're going to concentrate our strength on what we're really going to do. Don't... Get distracted, Tony!""Sabrina, this is a problem I need to solve!" Antonio screams like the devil, "Marianne will never be happy with another guy! She has no right to humiliate me like that!"Sabrina grabs her unr
Hours later, Aline receives Sylvia and Natalia at Mendonça Manor."Hello, girls! Welcome!"Natalia notices the luxury of the place, "Congratulations, Aline. You have a beautiful home.""I told you, my daughter," Sylvia comments happily.Aline gestures and Faron appears to collect the bags, "Call Charlotte to show the rooms for them.""The ROOMS?" Sylvia is surprised, "No need, Aline. One bedroom for the two of us is enough."Aline nods her head and speaks in a welcoming tone, "What's that, it wasn't a problem for me and the maids. Come on, let's have a coffee in the garden."Aline leads the visitors to the garden. There was already a tray of coffee and muffins on a wrought-iron table. Each chose a chair to sit on."I had it served as soon as you called saying you’re getting close." Aline explains, "Wasn't hard to find, huh?""We asked your neighbors and they did show us the address." Natalia takes off her sunglasses and smiles, "You're well known around here.""Ah, they must have thou
Carla enters Gomes Estates and goes straight to her office. After slamming the door shut, she picks up her cell phone and dials her beloved fiancé.George is selling an apartment to a couple who are about to get married. The fiancé was all the time hugging the fiancée from behind in a rather bizarre way."Honey, I'm going to see the kitchen." The fiancée detaches from him like velcro and leaves.George scratches the back of his head, "This apartment doesn't get the morning sun and the view is kind of hidden, but–""That's exactly why I want this apartment." The fiancé smiles kinkily, "I can make love to her without fear of being spied on. Are the walls here soundproof?"George responds awkwardly, "Yes...""Great, no Conservative neighbors are going to complain about her screaming at three in the morning! Where do I sign?"George hastily hands the paperwork to get rid of the perverted client. He felt sorry for the girl...His cell phone rang as the unusual couple signed the paperwork,
Bartolomeo is in his office following up on team sales. He smiles as someone adds another Gomes Estates sale to the system."My puppy's team is getting stronger and stronger.""Really?" A familiar voice is heard.Bartolomeo almost has a fit when he turns around and sees Reginaldo."Sonny!" The doting father gets up and hugs him fervently."Dad, what is this? It feels like I haven't seen you in years." Reginaldo chuckles."But it looks like it is!" The hug is broken, "Have you come to clean the cobwebs out of your office?""Absolutely. I want to know something very important." Reginaldo crosses his arms, "Am I definitely the owner of all this joint?"Bartolomeo bursts out laughing, "Of course, my dear son! We just need to formalize it for the press. Let's call João Paulo Queiroz Rocha and everything will be resolved.""The poor journalist had to disprove the truth when I was still in hiding." Reginaldo laughs."Let's talk in your office." Bartolomeo gestures and they both leave.But wh
Anestor notices how emotionally out of control Sabrina is when checking out the destruction of her office, "Only the computer was saved, huh? Sabby, don't ruin your reputation by being arrested for murder."Sabrina smirks, "And who said I'll be arrested? I'll get away with it, my dear Nestor."Anestor shakes his head, "No, I don't want to let you take that risk. Remember, my dear: if something goes wrong, your 'husband' will wash his hands and pretend he never met you."Sabrina frowns, "You're right. I can't trust him for a minute, especially, after what you told me about that weird incident of Joshua Dantas having sex with female guests."Anestor is perplexed, "Why do you think that, Sabby?"Sabrina throws some more debris into the cardboard box and turns to Anestor, but Anestor notices that the door is open. She closes it first, then responds to the secretary, "Look, Nestor: I've been around Tony long enough to realize that the guy has a huge porn archive for a brain. I never know i
In the Fabray Network, the tense reunion between relatives continues.Gilson breaks the sardonic smile when Reginaldo implies that his butt is contaminated, "No need for extremes, nephew! The pandemic is over, nobody is wearing masks anymore."Reginaldo counters, "No, Henry was still wearing the good-guy mask. Tell me, uncle: did he tell you exactly what happened in here, in this very office, months ago, huh?"Gilson gestures as if this were of minor importance, "Yes, he told me that you had a disagreement and he preferred to resign rather than be transferred to Cachoeiro do Itapemirim."Bartolomeo stops laughing and becomes indignant, "I don't believe it. Your son is a cowardly liar! Did he tell you about the poisoned chocolates?""What poisoned chocolates?" Gilson narrows his eyes.Reginaldo does 'facepalm', "Argh, obviously, the dear son hid the rotten details from his Daddy. Here's what you do, Uncle Gil: go back to your son and pin him to the wall so he can say EVERYTHING! Only a
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. Denise despaired, saw a rock near her, and...”Aline sighs, “God, this isn’t very Christian, but
Reginaldo stopped the BMW at the entrance to the Fabray House gate.As Faron wasn't there, he got out of the car and opened the gate manually. 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. But he was in Sunset Village.So, how can you explain the fact that he was seeing Aline approaching him at a slow pace, coming out of the bushes as if she were a ghost?Aline was smiling, wearing a black k
Reginaldo Fabray appeared from the corridor. It seems he was already there before everyone else, as the reporters didn't see him pass by. Otherwise, they would have spent all their film stock on him.Reginaldo was wearing his navy blue tuxedo, the one he bought at the men's clothing store in Sunset Village when Márcio Rios wore his head up and was a good person. If it weren't for Márcio, Reginaldo would be thrown out of the store as if he were a beggar.Reginaldo tried to sweep these memories out of his mind. Márcio became a hardened pervert who constantly violated Aline, losing his life as a result.Aline, another problematic woman, caused him a lot of headaches by getting involved with other guys before deciding on him, and then, when she needed him the most, instead of trusting him, she decided to waste the gift that God gave her.George and Carla, those friends who proved more treacherous than Henry and Gilson, were deservedly exi
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? Th
Reginaldo was paralyzed in the same way that Henry was before confirming his villainy.What's going on here?Does that mean he, out of nowhere, lost the fiancée he loved so much because of Henry?Does this mean that Henry finally managed to harm Reginaldo in something? 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...”
