At Vasconcelos Company, Katrina is back, smiling and confident of victory. “Good morning, Mrs. Ross!” “Good to see you back sober and secure, Mrs. Ross!” Katrina walked into her husband’s office, puzzled by the last statement. James noticed her grimacing. “What’s wrong, dear?” “Someone greeted me by saying they were happy to see me ‘sober’ and secure.” Katrina shook her head. “What does that mean? Do they know I drank before driving?” “Dear, you know what I think of that. By the way, when will we confront Briana and Mark for what they did?” James smiled maliciously. Katrina put her hand on her chin. “Honey, is that really how it happened?” “Briana telling Mark to cut the brakes on your car? Well, your brother was pretty convincing, right?” James repeated the lie, remembering the threats Christopher made to him. “I know we lost the hiring of actors I wanted for my series just when I was hospitalized. THAT wasn’t a coincidence, dear. But what did the police say about my car? Wa

In Briana and Luana’s new office, Luana decides to confide in her boyfriend about what she discovered regarding her best friend’s marriage. “Karl, what I’m about to tell you is strictly confidential,” Luana asks. “I found out how Mark and Brie decided to get married. Everything is shown in that video.” “They wanted to play that video instead of the teasers?” Karl raised his eyebrows. “That’s right,” Luana shook her head. “The video shows Mark carrying Briana in his arms outside in the parking lot. He takes her to Briana’s old car. It looked like Brie was feeling sick. But instead of taking her to the hospital... the car started shaking.” Karl feels an embarrassing heat wash over him. “Wait, Luana, are you suggesting that—” “I don’t know what to think,” Luana’s voice trembles. “Did Mark take advantage of the situation with Briana? Remember, dear: Briana never wanted to tell us how she and Mark met. Sometimes she reacted with fear.” “That fear would be of Mark? That doesn’t seem

Ray and Alanna exchange glances, and the camera captures the moment as if it were something forbidden to say.“Well, everyone is going to find out, right, Alanna?” Ray asked playfully.“It’s going to appear in the opening or closing credits of every episode.” Alanna shrugs. “Yeah, we’re under the jurisdiction of Vasconcelos Company.”Lisandro nodded. “What do you think of this arrangement? I’ve heard various actors are competing for a spot to work with Glamour.”Ray let out a hearty laugh and leaned back on the sofa, trying to project an air of relaxation. “Nah, we’re cool. When Sandro Vasconcelos approached us with this opportunity, we didn’t think much about it. We received the pilot episode, liked what we read, and quickly contacted our agent.”Alanna nodded in agreement. “That’s right. Mr. Sandro Vasconcelos was very kind to us.”Lisandro threw more fuel onto the fire. “By ‘Sandro Vasconcelos,’ are you referring to the older brother, the father of Briana Vasconcelos, who is workin

Mark was heading out to the parking lot towards his Lamborghini. When he looked at the car, his gaze fell on the famous parking space where he and Briana had their first romantic encounter. Suspicious, Mark looked up, searching for surveillance cameras. “Did Adrian manage to get a recording from that day and try to show it at the party, pretending to have a sore throat to escape accusations?” Mark took out his phone and dialed Linda’s number. “Yes, Lord Ferro?” “Send someone to follow Adrian. If he happens to go to Red Light and talk to his father, keep me informed,” Mark ordered curtly. “Understood, Lord Ferro.” “Also, check what happened at the party that my wife and Luana Barros hosted yesterday. They were supposed to showcase some teasers for the series we’re filming, but the audio-visual team at Braz Social Club refused and almost caused a scene.” Mark grabbed the car key with his free hand. “That’s strange, Lord Ferro. We’ll look into that as well, don’t worry,” Linda as

Briana returns to Ferro House. This time, Regis was present and ready to welcome her. He reaches out to take her coat and handbag. “Good evening, Mrs. Ferro. How was your workday?” “It was excellent, Regis, thank you very much. Is Mr. Ferro here?” “Yes, he’s with your father in the living room,” Regis replied promptly. Briana was surprised by the response. Her father had become a regular visitor, with Mark’s approval. “Thank you. And what about dinner?” “Julian is preparing fried calamari,” Regis said with a wide smile, thinking about enjoying that delicacy as well. Briana laughed and headed to the living room. Fried calamari is a treat. Upon entering the living room, she was surprised to see her father-in-law and husband engaging in lively conversation. “Wow, I could get used to this harmonious scene. Hello, Dad.” “HI, sweetheart!” Sandro stood up and kissed his daughter’s left cheek. Briana looked at Mark and couldn’t help but feel a strange sensation... knowing that Lua
