In Alan's suite, the bed finally stopped behaving as if there was an earthquake in Brazil.Alan emerged from under the covers, red and sweaty, but with a smile as if he had just taken a break to continue later...Sofia remained under the blankets."I think I heard the phone ring," Alan commented, but Sofia couldn't answer.Checking his phone, Alan saw 'missed call' on the screen and returned the call.On the other end, Josias was already up, heading out to work. He checked his phone and saw it was his eldest son returning the missed call."Finally, the dead are showing signs of life!""Which dead?" Alan chuckled, "Sofia and I are pretty much alive!""Is that so? Then I can't even imagine what was happening when I called you the first time." Josias joked, "I wanted to inform you of a decision before you find out through other means and make a scene.""I'm not David to make scenes," Alan responded sourly."Then you won't freak out when I tell you that David will be promoted to the front

Caroline is warmly welcomed at the Vasquez Mansion by a maid and escorted to the living room."I'll call Mr. Rocha, Miss Rocha." The maid bows.Luis approaches and is impressed by the visitor."Um... Let me take care of this!" He releases the maid from her duty.The maid nods and leaves for other chores.Luis is a bit embarrassed. It's evident that Caroline came to speak with Alan.But as he passed by the corridor, all he could hear was the bed creaking non-stop. Sofia must have passed out from..."Miss Rocha, nice to meet you. I don't know if we've been introduced before, but I'm Luis Vasquez." Luis extends his hand, charismatic."Ah, I think Alan mentioned you to me." Caroline smiles sweetly and shakes Luis's hand."Yes, I'm the new hotel supervisor and Sofia's cousin. Did you come to talk to her?" Luis internally hoped that was the answer."No, I came to talk to my brother," Caroline innocently replied.Luis couldn't conceal his embarrassment.Caroline was sweet and pure, but she w

At Marçal Publishing, Maggie comments on her discussion with Kelvin to Bernardo."It seems like a nightmare, darling." Maggie twists and crosses her fingers nervously, "Angela is definitely taking advantage of the situation to make Josias jealous. And she precisely chose Kelvin, who was married to Melissa! You know what that means?"Bernardo smiles slyly, "It means that Angela is hoping that either Josias or Melissa will show jealousy.""Will Melissa give in?" Maggie wonders worriedly.Bernardo is surprised by his wife's question. "Why do you think she will give in?""Well, I know that Josias has always loved Melissa. The marriage he had with Katherine was purely formal because of the late J.J." Maggie explains, "But Melissa and Kelvin truly loved each other and had twins. There is a connection in that relationship, darling."Bernardo stands up, intrigued. "Hmm... Do you think Angela is dating Kelvin hoping that Melissa will react as the jealous one, causing trouble in her marriage wi

In Luís's office, David and Kelvin came in to discuss further what he had mentioned in the hotel lobby."I think I didn't hear you correctly." David joked, "You said you violated my mother—""Cut the 'violation' talk!" Kelvin slammed the door shut, "What happened was a beautiful night of passionate and consensual love.""I doubt it!" David pointed his finger, "You're one of those who can't keep your 'little friend' in your pants! Wasn't it the same with Melissa? You wasted no time in getting her pregnant with twins!""Leave Melissa out of this!" Kelvin roared."Ah, I see what's going on." David smirked mockingly, "Here we have a guy who is using my mother to try to get over the loss of the woman he truly loves.""I'm not 'using' your mother. She loved Josias too, but what good does it do to harbor vain feelings? Life is short, we can't dwell on the past."David just stared at Kelvin disbelievingly.Kelvin continued firmly, "Listen here, kid, your mother is a grown woman and can make h

In the Teodoro Building, Pedro was instructing some workers responsible for renovating the kitchen."Let's get rid of the old tables that were bought in the 90s and bring in new ones. We also want a new paint job in the kitchen. The part where the stove is located is stained with oil and fry, so we will scrape that area and apply a fresh coat of paint and wall putty.""Yes, Mr. Reis," the workers said.Daniela appeared in the kitchen and felt attracted to her boyfriend acting with dexterity and authority.She realized she had done the right thing in choosing a man who exuded command and power.With the lobby radio echoing the song "Baby Love" by Nicole Scherzinger & Will.I.Am, she approached Pedro."Hmm... do we already have the new owner of the Teodoro Building?""Hi, dear!" Pedro turned to her and they kissed.The workers smiled at the scene and left to carry out their daily tasks."The kitchen is going to look wonderful with your command, huh?" Daniela praised him."Thank you, but
