At the Honey Island Hotel, Josias is in his favorite presidential suite, talking to Igor by phone."Igor, I know you specialize in Labor Law, but you always help me out..."At Rocha Constructions, Igor smiles as he listens to his friend and boss, "And I will always help you with whatever, master. Tell me what you need.""I found Angela Sousa. Unfortunately, she really is pregnant, and if she didn't sleep with the guy who was in her kitchenette, I am the father. I preferred to leave that as a confirmed fact."Igor narrows his eyes, "What's this about a guy in her apartment?"Josias giggles, "When I went in, there was a guy named Gustavo waiting and acting like he was her lawyer. She claimed she wanted someone to witness our deal.""In our investigations, we did not ascertain that she was living with another man," Igor explains to him."Well, that's it then, I am the father of the baby she is expecting. I have made it very clear to her

In the evening, Melissa was on the balcony of the penthouse wearing her pink robe, with a cup of hot milk in her hand, listening to the music coming from the living room, "By My Side" by INXS. Just like the lyrics, Melissa wished Josias was on her side. How much she missed him!"I love you, Josias Rocha." Melissa murmurs before taking a sip.Meanwhile, as if they were connected by thought, Josias was driving to Lagoon City listening to the same song on the car's tape player."I love you, Melissa Campos." He declares smiling.Josias lets himself be lulled by the enveloping music. He is pleased with the outcome of his visit to Angela. She and the child they are expecting will never enjoy the glory and wealth that Josias has battled to have.During his moment of relaxation, Josias makes a turn on the BR 101 and comes across an unusual situation.There were two heavy trucks parallel on the road, one trying to overtake the other. The truck that w

João Paulo is using Josias's studio to do his homework. The Portuguese teacher has been demanding after realizing that he has an aptitude for Letters."I hope to become a renowned writer or journalist to make up for all the extra work the teacher applies to me." João Paulo grumbles while solving syntax and semantics exercises.To help him concentrate, he put his walkman headphones in his ears. The radio station was playing "You're in Love" by Wilson Phillips.Until the announcer makes the same interruption as earlier this morning, "We regret the interruption of our programming to announce urgent news: a crashed red Fiat Tempra was found on the banks of the BR 101 highway. The fire department did not find the occupants, only the driver's documents. The documents belonged to Josias Rocha, the owner of Rocha Constructions.João Paulo immediately gets up and rushes to the living room, where Melissa was having tea with Dora, Elza, and Vani

Melissa is now awake, still lying in bed, staring at the ceiling without saying anything. Her face expresses no emotion whatsoever, it is as if she is hypnotized. Dora is sitting on the bed next to her, holding her hand."Have faith in God, dear. Everything is going to be all right. Josias will be found and returned home."Melissa does not respond.The door opens and Simeon enters worriedly, "Daughter! I came running as soon as I heard. How are you?"Why does Simeon keep asking absurd questions? Melissa is catatonic in bed and he still asks how she is?Dora realizes the ridiculousness and answers for her, "Our daughter is heartbroken, dear."Simeon takes Dora's hand and pulls his wife close to the dressing table, "Any news?""No, the afternoon news just repeated what they said in the morning.""Tiago said we need to contact the police to identify the car to confirm the documents found," Simeon speaks in a lower tone.Dor

The next day, Josias wakes up in another room that he has never been in before. So he is even startled and narrows his eyes, scrutinizing the place. The walls were plastered and painted light blue. The window was varnished and the linen curtains were cleaner than a cloud. He tried his body on the sheets and the soft, fragrant blanket.Where was he, on a farm or in a hotel?Josias tried to get up, but he still felt a horrible pain in his hips and back. He had probably broken some bone, and being in a stranger's house is not going to fix that."Hello?" he tries calling out to someone.The door opens and a sweet girl with no vanities enters, ready to attend to him."Good morning, sir. Did you sleep well?""Where am I?" Josias asks anxiously."My name is Katherine." She replies looking down, "My father brought you in to help you recover.""Well, I'm certainly not fully recovered." Josias grumbles, "I am feeling a very strong pain i
