Josias and Melissa are shocked when they find out that Vernon has returned to the same post at Maggiezine. How will Isabel react?Josias's mind works fast. He clears his throat, "Well, I also had news to share.""Which?" Melissa asks abruptly, wanting to forget about Vernon's news."Rocha Constructions will build a five-star hotel here in Lagoon City with the support of the city." Josias smiles confidently that his news is better than Vernon's.Indeed, Elza and João Paulo applaud enthusiastically."Son, congratulations." Elza congratulates him."And there's more. Mom, would you like to take care of this hotel?"Josias remains with a radiant smile while the others gaped.Elza is dumbfounded, "Son... me? Hotel manager?""Five stars." Josias adds, "You're the only one in the family who has experience with glamor and sophistication. I'm still learning." Josias jokes.Vernon is upset about losing the general att

Pamela is quietly working at her desk when Miguel emerges from his office with his usual predatory smile. Pamela wonders how long she'll hold out...Miguel approaches her and is already saying, "Pam, what did the doctors say in the prenatal checkup? Is our son okay?"Pamela misses the stamp on an all-important document, "Shit! Look what you did to me!"Miguel just smiles like he's a teacher scolding the female rowdy student, "Tsk, tsk... what a pity, Pam. You'll have to write the whole contract and ask my client to sign it again. Oh, and if he scolds you because of the inconvenience, swallow it all and say 'thank you' and 'yes sir'.""I'm not used to being insulted so submissively," Pamela growls."Oh, you're one of those who do whatever you want, correct?" Miguel sits at her desk, "That's why you're always willing and urging to make love to me!"Pamela doesn't even know if she'll be able to type anything. Her heart tells her to rip her clot

Beto is shocked when a strange guy walks into his office unsolicited to tell him that he is going to marry Pamela. Who does he think he is?Looking closely at Miguel, Beto admits that his opponent has that masculine beauty that could attract a promiscuous Pamela. But... she said that the child is his, they are married and in love!Beto tries to reason without resorting to violence, "Mr. Damascene, there must be some mistake.""The mistake is Pam marrying you when there are men like me," Miguel responds with a smug tone."How can you claim the child is yours?"Miguel puts his hand over his mouth to keep from laughing too loudly, "What? What do you mean? Mr. Reis, do I need to teach you where babies come from?"Beto narrows his eyes, "That's the point. You didn't make love to my wife. She would never do such a thing, she loves me."Miguel gets up from his seat, "She did make love on my desk, you idiot! And I'm still pretty sure she made

Pamela and Beto enter their apartment. She still finds it strange that her husband doesn't want to hug her, kiss her, or take her hand."Honey, what's going on?" She asks him, "Hard day at work?""You can say yes." Beto replies with a scowl, "Today I had a visit from your boss in my office."Pamela's eyes widen in terror and panic. No! Miguel's threat has come true!"What did he tell you?" Pamela's voice comes out squeezing with so much dread."You're the one who's going to tell me!" Beto rages, tossing the briefcase on the couch as if it were Pamela, "Or do I want to hear it? Your facial expression has given me everything!"Pamela sits in the chair, her nerves frayed, trying to produce lies as quickly as possible, "Darling, let's talk more calmly.""So it's really true, Pam? You slept with Mr. Damascene to get the secretary job and now you're pregnant with him? How could you allow such a thing in a law firm?"Pamela is outrage

Pamela's family is worried to learn that there is a rich and powerful man who wants to have Pamela as his wife at any cost.Raymond wiggles uncomprehendingly, "Pam, my daughter... if you didn't agree with the man wanting you as a surrogate mother, you should have gotten up and left that firm immediately! What did you expect to still offer yourself as a secretary? Did you really think he was going to give up?"Pamela narrows her eyes in meditation. Her father is probably right: Miguel never gave up on having an heir with Pamela and that's why he 'gave up' so easily when she objected! Now he's got what he wanted: impregnating Pamela without having signed the contract!Pamela leans forward, burying her head in her hands, "Damn it! I'm a dumb bitch! My desire to fornicate with him was so high I didn't even think about it!""And now, Pam, what are you going to do?" Cristina asks.Pamela straightens out to the family, "He's filed for divorce. And he want
