More days passed, and nothing from Aline showed up. The matter was already being treated by the media as a Midnight Mystery.“And to this day, the whereabouts of the beautiful socialite Aline Mendonça, fiancé of the heir to the Fabray Network, Reggie Fabray, remain unknown. The family refuses to provide further testimonies and statements to the press. So, we can only respect their wishes and keep hoping that this sad story has a happy ending.”The anchor quickly moves on to the next news item, but Reginaldo takes the remote control and turns off the TV. He was sprawled out on the couch in his boxer shorts, pissed off at the lack of information about Aline."Aline... my love... what happened to you...?"Reginaldo leans over the coffee table and picks up his cell phone. On the first news website he checks, the photo of Sergeant Oliveira smirking makes our hero want to throw his cell phone at the wall."It's your fault, you c

At the now Fabray Hotel, Laura cannot bear to hear the possibility that Aline is still alive and in the hotel. NO! She has to be dead for Laura to marry Reggie!Outraged, she approaches the officers, “Excuse me gentlemen, but don't you realize this isn't just another prank call? Aline Mendonça is dead, and the sooner you accept that, the better!”The policemen turn around and are stunned by the intrusion.“Miss Correia, we know that the ladies don’t get along, but this is already too much, don’t you think?” One of the policemen questions her, “Sergeant Andrade will want to know about you because you’re sure that Miss Mendonça is dead.”Laura smirks, “You can't arrest me. I heard that Sergeant Andrade is more civilized than the previous one.”"Don't let that baby face fool you!" The policeman sternly retorts, “Sargent Andrade managed to dismantle a drug ring that o

At the nightclub, Paula and her friends have managed to get in, and are now sensualizing for the men on the dance floor, dancing to 90s Euro Dance songs.“Girl, today I'm leaving here pregnant!” One of them exclaims.“There's a hottie looking at me, I think I'll stop at one of the exclusive corners of the beach.” Another bites her bottom lip.Paula, however, is dancing and rubbing herself against different guys on purpose to attract Henry. Will the boyfriend allow countless males to have fun with his girlfriend?The answer is no. Disguised, Henry also appears dancing, shaking shoulders and arms, and manages to drive away the last guy who was with his shirt unbuttoned, whispering obscenities in Paula's ear.Paula's friends don't recognize Henry by the environment with the dimmed lights and think he's just another one. But they realize that, with him, Paula is reacting positively.Henry wraps Paula around the waist and they slowly move away.Whispering in Paula's ear, sending shivers th

At Mendonça Manor, Reginaldo meets Laura in the living room.“Laura, my friend... thanks for coming. I need the support of faithful and loyal friends.”Laura makes a long face. She doesn't just want to be friends... “Reggie, how are you?”“I don't know what else to do.” Reginaldo walks in circles around the living room, “I want to find Aline, I want her back... but the evidence the police found makes me believe that she committed an extreme act.”Laura holds herself back from vibrating. Cool! Reggie is starting to think Aline is dead!She approaches him and asks cautiously, “Reggie... are you thinking that Aline is dead?”“I know, it sounds too cruel. I'm supposed to be the fiancé who never gives up hope, but... Why hasn't Aline tried to contact me?”“She left her cell phone behind.” Laura talks like she's dumb.“Yes, but did she have to be away from home that long just because of the sergeant?” Reggie is unconvinced, “Mr. and Mrs. Mendonça are taking the worst, and I sometimes think

A few days passed, and Sergeant Oliveira was never found again.Conversations and rumors circulated in Sunset Village. People were afraid to face Reginaldo on the street when he passed them.Sergeant Andrade didn't even dream of questioning Reginaldo about his disappearance and continued on his mission to discover Antonio and Eduardo's killer.Concerning Aline's searches, Reginaldo decided to meet with the same sergeant to announce his decision.“Good morning, Sergeant!” Reginaldo greets him in his office.Andrade turns to him apprehensively, “Mr. Fabray, how can I help you?”“I need to tell you something important.” Reginaldo closes the door.Andrade smiles at him, imagining that Reginaldo will confess to him that he eliminated Oliveira, “I'm all ears.”Reginaldo approaches him, “I came here to ask, as Aline’s fiancé, that the searches end.”Andrade is thoughtful, “You know, your future mother-in-law already came here to ask me for this. Are you sure, Mr. Fabray?”“I don’t understand
