The next day, Rosemary is leaving the Teodoro building canteen when she meets Patrick. And again, the lobby radio is playing a romantic ballad, this time “Back to One” by Brian McKnight and Ivete Sangalo. Patrick smiles whisperingly while Rosemary wants to break the radio. “Tradition is being followed with force here, right?” “Shut up!” Rosemary spits, “I bet you chose this station!” “Me? I ain’t touching the sacred radio that belonged to the late Teodoro.” Patrick looks at the portrait. Beto appears to nail the portraits of Uélton and Harold, “Good morning, kids! Ready for another day of school? Rosemary replies, “I’m ready for another day of confrontation with Maria Clara. I think I’ll go to the academy and enroll in boxing classes.” Patrick suddenly takes one of Rosemary’s hands and affectionately declares, “Don’t dare to hurt those beautiful princess hands, Rosemary!” Rosemary pulls her hand back and shoots Patrick

Patrick returns from school accompanied by his father, Zedekiah. The lobby radio is now playing “Californication” by Red Hot Chili Peppers.Patrick is also surprised by the coincidence, “See, Dad? Where is Rosemary to prove to her that it's not me who keeps changing the radio station to romantic ballads to seduce her?”Zedekiah smiles satisfactorily, “Son, I am proud of you. You’re truly a man! You're in love with our landlord's daughter.”Patrick's eyes widen, “What are you talking about, Dad? Rosemary hates me!”“But YOU love her, right?” Zedekiah stares deeply into his son's eyes.Patrick pulls back his father's steady gaze, “I don't know. There are times I want to strangle her.”“And there are times you want to spend all night making love to her passionately, don't you?” Zedekiah smiles mischievously, “Son, you are free to get the girl you wan

A few more days passed, and Katherine was able to return to the Rocha Mansion.All of Josias's friends and family felt forced to come to the mansion to 'celebrate' the victory. Yes, no one wanted Katherine's extreme to die (except for a few), but no one wanted to be friends with her again either.And Katherine, sensing that people would judge her, cast a look of disdain and superiority as paramedics helped her through the entrance of the mansion.“Hello, my dear friends. I'm so glad I survived, what about you?”Elza replies on behalf of everyone, “Take advantage of the second chance God has given you, Kate.”Katherine counters contemptuously, “God was merciful, but that Everaldo was disgusting! It's a shame he doesn't show up here in March, because I'd like to exchange a few words with him!”Isabel turns pale, “Do not speak ill of an anointed of the Lord!”Katherine bursts out laughing,

Vera is shocked when Wallace reveals to her that Beto was having chest pains. She straightens up on the couch as Wallace crouches down to face her.“Honey, what did you mean by that? Is my brother going to die?”Wallace takes both of her hands, “No, Vera. Your brother, for now, is healthy. But he has been feeling some discomfort and dashed to the hospital to see what it was. A cardiologist said he doesn't have anything serious, but with him getting older, he'd better prevent it.”“Poor Tess...”Wallace frets, “This is where we have a problem, dear: your brother had asked me for a secret. He's taking pills to control his blood pressure on the sly.”Vera gapes, then comments, “But... Well, I'm his sister, these things I deserve to know. My brother will listen to me!”“Because your father died of the same ill, he saw fit—”Vera nodded, “Yes, these things

The following week, Maggiezine's cover featured a photo of Katherine walking in the pool area of the Rocha mansion wearing a swimsuit and yoke at the waist, international brand sunglasses, and a straw hat. A victorious smile adorned her face.Underneath, the title of the story is in bold letters: ‘Kate Rocha: How She Overcame Death and Paraplegia!’The issue sold well, with countless readers wanting to know what happened to the current lady of Lagoon City. Some internal tittle-tattle said that the first lady, the wife of Mayor Tobias, burned with envy and talked about killing Kate in front of the employees and secretaries.At the Rocha Mansion, Katherine laughed and rejoiced in one of the living rooms with the Maggiezine copy in hand. Josias watches her contentedly like a child.“Kate, I'm so glad to see you happy.”Katherine stares at her husband adoringly, “Thank you, Josias. I need to know if you're happy or not.&rd
