Reginaldo decides to rest his head at home and prepare a light lunch. The argument he had with his father-in-law and the discovery of Aline with derogatory thoughts of herself left him in no mood to work.Good thing Laura was away, or she'd say Reggie was using the problems as a lame excuse to hang around the house.Reginaldo just smiles slightly and heads home, thinking about his plans to follow.However, the smile fades when he sees the famous Hyundai parked in the spot where he usually leaves his car."How insistent! I told him not to show up yesterday and he disobeys me the next day!"Reginaldo strides into the Ferreira house, about to expel Eduardo by the arm. However, he is shocked to find the foyer empty.He runs to the kitchen and sees no sign of the two. He goes to the pool and doesn't see Laura's corpse floating around.It was outside that he heard Laura's screams and Eduardo's giggles.Reginaldo looks at the balcony of the master suite, but the double access door was closed
Antonio threw the cell phone to the floor and it shattered all over. It was an expensive model, but the rage of hearing his daughter moan like a whore took all of his self-control.After taking a deep breath and controlling his tremors, he dials the desk phone, "Hello, Mrs. Ferreira, please! Ah, she's having lunch... how lucky, I've already lost my appetite! Thank you..."Antonio angrily hangs up and storms out of the office.*******Meanwhile, Reginaldo is laughing with Anestor on one of the benches on the boardwalk."Anestor, thank you so much for helping me. I just wanted to know what the disgusting old man's face looked like when he heard his daughter moan and scream in a lewd act!"Reginaldo squirms with laughter. Anestor can't resist and chuckles."So can we say that you have begun your revenge?" Anestor finally asks."Yes, that old man will understand once and for all that I was not the one who took advantage of his pure and chaste daughter. She is the one who behaves promiscuo
When Eduardo is running and stumbling outside the Ferreira house, he is stunned and dismayed.Someone hit the back of his car!"Jeez, who did—" His gaze goes straight to the front of Antonio's car with the headlights smashed."Argh, the old man! I hope he dies, just so everyone is free of this bullshit! I bet Reggie is rooting for the same thing!"Eduardo gets in the car and runs away. The bumper detaches from the car and is left behind.Meanwhile, Laura is left alone with her father, dying on the master suite's balcony."Dad, why did you have to exaggerate? Look what you've accomplished! After you've recovered, we're going to have a serious talk, do you hear me? Starting with repairing the door!"Antonio can't speak, but if he could, he would surely be cursing his daughter for being more worried about herself than about her father having a heart attack on the floor!Eventually, the paramedics managed to guess the address of the Ferreira House and drove the ambulance there. The sound
George is startled when Reginaldo is furious that no one can answer satisfactorily about Aline's presence."I hope that tomorrow everything can go back to normal." He explains with a frown, "Aline is a good girl and needs direction in life. The last time I saw her, she was having a very strange conversation, belittling herself. If I'm not careful, she's gonna decide to drown herself on the beach.""How awful, Reggie." George breaks his smile, "Tomorrow I'll be there early to check.""That's great." Reginaldo's cell phone rings and he takes it out of his dress pants pocket. He sees it's Laura and decides to answer it with a sour face, "Hello?""Reggie, I know you hate my dad." Laura speaks in a stilted, artificial tone, "But now he needs your support.""What happened?""He had a heart attack and is at the neighborhood medical center."Reginaldo purses his lips. The so-called 'neighborhood medical center' is more like a private and very expensive medical clinic to serve only the exclusi
Carla picks up her cell phone to answer it, "Hello?"On the other side, a desperate Bruno speaks to her, "Hi, Carla! This is your boss Bruno Castelo.""Hello, Mr. Castelo!" Carla responds by widening her eyes at Aline."Please, is your friend present?"Aline waggles her fingers, begging Carla not to hand her the cell phone, but Carla doesn't give a damn about her lack of attitude, "Yes, Mr. Castelo, she's here and crazy to talk to you.""I need to talk to her, looks like there's been a misunderstanding. I've been told she showed up for a job interview and couldn't see me." Bruno tries to leave Reginaldo out of the picture."Yes, I took her and she was brutally abused and humiliated." Carla retorts, "I'll give her the cell phone."Aline gets up to flee, but Carla is faster and grabs her arm, almost dislocating it."Stop being an idiot and pick up the phone! It's God's answer to you, girl!"Aline is shaking, "No, I won't!"Carla rubs her cell phone against Aline's ear and she hears Brun
The next day, Aline woke up more refreshed and excited to try the job interview again.She brushes her teeth humming a song from her preteen years. Then she wears the same social attire again.Before leaving, she kneels by the bed and prays fervently to God, praying that the job can get her out of the hole she's in.The family that had not supported her before decided to massacre her because of her birthday party. This is life?Having breakfast in the dining room, Donald and Penha are bothered by their daughter's bright and optimistic aura and try to discourage her at all costs."And so, daughter," Penha begins in the most false tone there is, "You still haven't told Mom who Reggie is.""Reggie?" Donald asks harshly, "What the hell is that name? Are you going to parties held in Happiness Slum without panties?"Aline smiles wryly, "Don't worry. I'm fine. I just want to try the job interview again.""What do you mean, try again?" Donald frowns, "Didn't you make it yesterday?"Penha trie
After Reginaldo bathes and dresses socially, he receives a call from Anestor."Speak, Anestor! What does my favorite butler say?"Anestor is embarrassed when he announces the mission that Reginaldo's father has given him, "Master, I have good news for your father and bad news for you.""My father always comes first." Reginaldo seriously states, "What's the news?""First news is that your father orders me to stay with you at all times in Sunset Village."Reginaldo sits on the bed, astonished, "Anestor, that can't be. How is a popsicle salesman going to pay a butler of your caliber? And what will I explain to Laura?""Your father's orders, master." Anestor says disconsolately, "We must obey without question.""He's really worried about my safety." Reginaldo giggles, "If he only knew that I'm there for him too...""And that's where the second news comes in." Anestor continues, "I have the test results on those candies. Yes, they had arsenic in them. Not to kill right away, but enough to
In the capital, in the upscale neighborhood called Praia do Canto, there was a five-story commercial building where the headquarters of Fabray Real Estate operated.The headquarters of the real estate network was where the Fabray family met to work and discuss different ways of earning money.It's in this place where avarice, envy, and conspiracy between corridors and private offices ran rampant.In the office of one of them, Matias Neves was calm in his office calling another one of his numerous clients. The young man was plain-looking, not as dazzling as Reginaldo, but not too ugly not to deserve Reginaldo's sister's love."Yes, sir, you won't regret the decision. The house is at a good price, and we can facilitate the payment. Let's meet at ten in the morning at the gate... OK, I'll wait for you there."Matias adjusts his glasses and adds the client to his electronic address book via his cell phone. As he takes notes, the door opens and Anestor enters."Master Neves..."Matias rais
