At the Sunset Village police station, Reginaldo meets Laura leaving the office of the deputy responsible for taking her statement. The two embrace fervently."Darling..." Laura cries profusely, "I thought I was going to die! I thought I'd never see you again!""Never say that even in jest, my love!" Reginaldo hugs her tightly, afraid of releasing her, and lets her be snatched by Eduardo.But Eduardo was in another room being heard at the custody hearing, with someone from the Public Defender's Office verifying whether the criminal's "rights" were upheld or violated.Reginaldo points to the door, "Should I go in and give my statement? After all, I know the guy.""The more people open their mouths, the better!" Laura angrily responds, "What about my parents?"Reginaldo is disappointed, "I talked to your father. Now, if he comes, it's another story."Laura pales, "He didn't believe I was almost abducted?""He doesn't believe it was his favorite false husband, Eduardo Casemiro." Reginaldo
Antonio enters the Sunset Village police station, his face red due to the running. Anestor visualizes him going to the information desk."Excuse me, miss. I am Laura Ferreira's father, she is here giving evidence against the aggressor Eduardo Casemiro."The lady types something into the computer and informs him, "She has already given her statement. Do you also want to collaborate with some information?"Antonio takes a long time to respond, leaving the lady in doubt, "Yes, I need to talk to the police officer in charge.""Sergeant Oliveira is leading the investigation. He has already collected the testimony of the victim and the man who identified himself as her husband, Reginaldo Silva."Antonio smiles mockingly. Reginaldo must have had trouble explaining why his wife's surname is not the same as his.Anestor overhears the conversation and approaches, "Mr. Ferreira? I'm sorry about your daughter. I hope she's okay."Antonio looks at the servant, "My dear, look for me tomorrow to get
Hours later, we learned why Antonio was so careless in providing emotional support for his daughter.It so happened that he preferred to support Eduardo Casemiro!In the lobby of the police station, Eduardo came out with a black eye and bruises all over his body. After the custody hearing, he was taken to a small room and beaten by some police officers before being admitted to Provisional Detention.But Antonio 'pulled some strings' and obtained Eduardo's provisional release after talking to Sergeant Oliveira, putting his lawyer on hand to defend Eduardo.Eduardo is still confused by Antonio's treatment, but thanks him anyway, "Mr. Ferreira, I didn't know you liked me.""I don't like you, but I hate my son-in-law." Antonio had a fierce look, "Let's talk at my house."For a few seconds, Eduardo wondered if Antonio took him out of jail just to take matters into his own hands.******In Aline and Carla's apartment, the first resident turned off the radio and said goodbye to her friends.
Marianne entered the house confident that Antonio would not refuse to help her own daughter get rid of the man who had attacked her.However, when she was about to enter his private office, lo and behold, she hears voices. One of them shocked her.What? What is the kidnapper doing in her house?Curious, Marianne does not enter her husband's room and puts her ear to the door.Inside the office, Antonio is pouring two glasses of wine. Suspicious, Eduardo does not drink his."I still don't understand why you released me, Mr. Ferreira," Eduardo asks for an explanation in a firm tone.Marianne covers her mouth with both hands to keep from screaming. What? Did Tony free their daughter's abuser?Antonio responds with an ironic tone, "You're still not 100% free, Eduardo. Parole. If you behave and don't harm my daughter, maybe Justice won't condemn you for the crime. In fact, the crime didn't even materialize, right?""No, I got punched by someone who identified himself as a servant." Eduardo
The next day, Reginaldo woke up suddenly yelling "NOOOO!" His forehead became a waterfall of sweat, and his panting breath made him look like he was having a heart attack.Laura was sleeping peacefully and with a slight smile, but Reginaldo's scream made her wake up with a start, "Reggie! What happened?"Reginaldo calms down when he sees his wife beside him, "Phew! Sorry, honey, I dreamed that Eduardo was kidnapping you while I was tied to a chair. I was unable to protect you!"Laura sympathizes with her husband's suffering, "Reggie... That will never happen. Anestor saved me and you are my protective rock. The best thing I ever did was choose you!"Reginaldo smiles, "Do I sound paranoid to you?""Not at all, just a devoted husband." Laura smiles back.Reginaldo suddenly jumps on top of Laura and makes her lie down again, "Then let's celebrate that the asshole is behind bars!"Reginaldo pulls the blankets, covering them both.Anestor passes through the corridor and hears the couple (F
Reginaldo comes down from the second floor to the kitchen. After having intimate moments with his wife, he is smiling and excited to have her around. God willing, what he dreamed of will never come true.However, to our hero's surprise, breakfast is not ready. Where is Anestor?Without having the slightest idea that his undercover butler is becoming his mother-in-law's lover, Reginaldo doesn't have the patience to wait and prepares breakfast according to his wishes.Laura comes downstairs wearing a pink robe, already combed and her face washed, "Darling, where's Anestor?""I don't know. Did he just need to go to the police station to testify?" Reginaldo keeps an eye on the coffee maker."Hope so." Laura sits at the table, "I hope everyone can open their mouths and bury Eduardo's literary career. I'm seriously considering going to Marçal Publishing to demand that he be removed from the writers' catalog.""Did something come out in Maggiezine?" Reginaldo asks with a slight smile."I'll
Antonio is surprised by Eduardo standing at the door of his office."Eddie!" He exclaims, startled, "What are you doing here?"Eduardo smiles like a mischievous boy, "I needed to see you. We need to properly plan our revenge scheme."Antonio quickly opens the office so that no one finds the kidnapper free and on the loose talking to him. After that, he locks the door so he won't be surprised by anyone."Let's talk fast." Antonio is a little apprehensive, "May Reggie not find you here. I haven't even told my wife that you left."Eduardo smiles evilly, "Correction = you didn't tell Mrs. Ferreira that I was FREED by you."Antonio smirks, "Sit down. What do you want to know about?""I want to know when I can contact your daughter." Eduardo sits down.Antonio wiggles, "You crazy. The news still hasn't reached my daughter and you already want to spoil the surprise? For the plan to work perfectly, you'll have to go days or weeks without talking to her!"Eduardo disagrees and even shakes with
The next day, Reginaldo is sitting on the bed of the master suite, frowning, searching his cell phone for new information about Eduardo's arrest. Laura is in the closet getting dressed to go out."Honey, I couldn't find anything about Eduardo. The guy is so insignificant he didn't even get a newspaper article."Laura swallows hard. She still hasn't told Reginaldo that the maniac is on the loose, "Better this way."Reginaldo chuckles, "Now our lives will have peace at last."He gets up and goes to the bathroom to shower. Today is another working day at the hotel.While he was in the kitchen having breakfast, Reginaldo took out his cell phone to see the sales report. A message from Bruno informed him that Aline had not come to work because she was 'indisposed'. Reginaldo frowns again.Afraid of misunderstanding Laura, he doesn't call Aline now, with his wife beside him putting slices of low-fat cheese and ham on her roll bread.But as soon as he's in the staff room at the Ferreira Hotel
