The weekend passed and with it, Antonio Ferreira's recovery. On Monday, the doctor who had seen him had declared the good news."Mr. Ferreira, you will be discharged today.""God be praised!" Antonio exclaims, making Marianne roll her eyes. From the way Antonio leads his life, it doesn't seem like he believes in God."Okay, I'll fill out the necessary paperwork so I can release you." The doctor smiles, "Just follow the recommendations: no stress, delegate the work to your kids, avoid salt and trans fat that your body will thank you for.""Thank you, Doctor, for saving my life." Antonio is almost crying."From now on, it's up to you." The doctor leaves.Marianne leans back in bed and whispers after the doctor leaves, "Now when we get home you can tell me what really happened!"Antonio pretends to be dumb, "Are you blind, woman? I had a cardiac arrest and spent days in the medical clinic. By the way, yesterday you didn't come to see your convalescent husband, where were you?"Marianne d
Antonio and Marianne arrive at the family mansion. Although the building is not old, the way it was built made the neighbors think it was a 19th-century building.Both the exterior and interior of the mansion are dominated by red, brown, orange, navy blue, and other colors that leave the place dark, gloomy and macabre as if they were on a horror movie set.With this appearance, Antonio and Marianne are forced to leave the lights on during the day, which results in a more expensive electric bill than the entire block.The main maid approaches them and takes Antonio's suit, "It's a pleasure to have you back, Mr. Ferreira. Mrs. Ferreira, we've already washed the towel and your beach wrap."Marianne is astonished and Antonio shoots her with his eyes. Answer: Marianne spent Sunday at the beach without worrying about him in the hospital."Let's go to the master suite." Antonio grumbles.He manages to climb the flight of stairs on his own, while his wife follows with her head down.In the eq
Laura doesn’t even think for ten seconds before answering with a smile, "But of course, I’ll want a butler for us, dear! If he’s willing to clean the house for a low salary, who am I to disagree with him?"Reginaldo grinned at his wife’s sarcasm, "Don’t talk like that. Anestor is no steward of wealthy families. He used to live in Rainbow Garden, and now he’s staying in the maid’s room that was never used. Don’t expect him to use Tuxedo and keep calling you ma'am.""I also didn’t expect him to just be wearing shorts when cleaning the stair railing, but that’s fine," Laura smirks as she remembers the beautiful sight.Reginaldo realizes that the wife is in heat and hugs her, "I have seen that you got carried away with the butler. What about your lover?""Why do you have to spoil the moment by mentioning Eduardo?" Laura bites her lower lip, placing her hand on Reginaldo’s towel, threatening to tear it off."Because I’m never gonna understand what you saw in that skinny guy when you’re mar
Laura and Reginaldo are extremely fatigued after the intense and insane activity in the marital bed. It looked like they made up for three years of abstinence this morning."Reggie..." Laura nestles in her husband’s wide breastplate, "It could be like this forever.""Are you willing to abandon your lover and be my real wife?" Reginaldo asks looking at the ceiling."Are you willing to give up the mediocre job of selling popsicles and be my real husband?" Laura doesn’t miss a chance to touch the wound."Touché." Reginaldo jokes, "Laura, you know my job makes me good money.""There’s one more point to this work of yours." Laura insists, "You go out to sell your popsicles wearing tiny swim trunks. I’m sure a lot of female freaks just buy a popsicle to get a closer look at you and try something. You say you don’t care, but you can’t say the same about them."Reginaldo laughs to see that he managed to arouse jealousy in his wife, "That’s true, Laura. Many of them make immoral jokes with the
Reginaldo wants to know if Laura is committed to leaving Eduardo behind. Laura is thoughtful and makes a face of displeasure, leaving Reginaldo to think that she will not compromise.However, Laura suddenly smiles and nods, "Yes, I will leave Eduardo behind.""YES!" Reginaldo vibrates by punching through the air, "That’s right, Laura, let’s build a life worthy of marriage! When do you intend to announce it to your parents?""Still today." Laura smiles at seeing Reginaldo happy, "And I’d better get up."But Reginaldo grabs her and doesn’t let her out of bed, "None of that! First, let’s seal our deal!"And Laura had to leave the conversation for the next day.******In the afternoon, Bruno and Aline go to a four-story building in Sunset Village, two blocks from the sea. Bruno parks close to the sidewalk and the two get out of his car."And you have the privilege of living here, huh, Miss Mendonça?" Bruno asks while waiting for the client."At my parents' house. But I was serious about m
Marianne thinks there’s been some kind of mistake."No, you can’t be the butler of this house. Not dressed like that!"Anestor gets into conflict. Reginaldo had told him to wear casual clothes, but now this woman who appears to be his mother-in-law is saying he is unfit for duty.He makes room and lets Marianne in. She goes straight to the black couch."Madam, I’m sorry for the bad impression, but Mr. Silva did not hire me to be a butler as you see in the movies. I’m a simple servant who sleeps in the little room you have here, that’s it."Marianne can’t get used to the view, "It turns out, sir, that our family is just one of those who pay a butler dressed in character.""I have come from Rainbow Garden, madam." Anestor repeats the instructions Reginaldo gave him, "And the lady mentioned Mistress Laura as your daughter...?""Yes, I’m her mother and I came to talk to her."Anestor remembers that Reginaldo and Laura are still in their room..."Mistress Laura went out shopping." He repli
Anestor becomes restless with Marianne's constant questioning. Meanwhile, Reginaldo and Laura are so far quite busy in their room, not caring about anything else."Madam, you can be sure that my salary is not $5,000.00." Anestor finally answers.Marianne frowns, then states, "Of course not, and it's a shame that you get minimum wage for the amount of work you do. I must admit that the grass has become nicer with your trimming.""Thank you. Would you like anything?""I won't be long, since my daughter is out. If I can have a cup of coffee...""I'll be right back." Anestor retires to the kitchen.Marianne watches him retreat and takes a peek at Anestor's round butt, "Wow.... where did Reggie meet this hot old man from? I'll ask for the number of the agency to hire a sexy gardener for my mansion..."Marianne forgets that she has been married to Antonio for thirty years and lusts after other guys' sculptural bodies with a mischievous smile.Anestor re-approaches her with the cup. Marianne
Bartolomeo wants to know how Matias learned of Reginaldo's whereabouts."It was Anestor who told me everything, father." Matias informs him, "He said that Reggie instructed him to tell me to keep an eye on you since you sent Anestor to stay close to Reggie.""Absolutely right." Bartolomeo nods firmly, "My boy may be going through danger and I want Anestor near him for safety.""He told me what happened... how did he manage to survive for three years like that?" Matias furrows his brow.Bartolomeo makes 'tsk' with his tongue, "He's stubborn. He should have identified himself as a Fabray to avoid all this angst.""He was willing to walk the path of success without the Fabray surname." Matias philosophizes, "But now, he understands that won't be possible.""It's my surname that will guarantee my beloved son's revenge." Bartolomeo asserts, "I can't believe that there are such evil people like that."Matias looks at the box of chocolates, "I think I'd better take this here before you fall
