2021-06-04 19:20:02Carmen is again at Melissa's house, but this time it is not to reveal the 'truth' about Pamela's pregnancy.
"And where does Josias live, is around here?" She asks, pretending to be casual.
"Yes, do you know Teodoro's building on Hope Street? It's there. It's one of the little rooms, suitable for single men."
"Have you seen what his room looks like?" Carmen asks without disguising the intention.
Melissa shakes her head frantically. "I never was and I will never go! I will only be alone with Josias in our master bedroom, after the honeymoon!"
Carmen smiles ironically. She thinks, 'While you protect yourself from him, he is already impregnating your friends.' And she says, "Well, I better get going, it's late. Next week Pamela will be back."
"I'm praying for her, girl..."
From here William is walking down the corridor to the living room and ends up listening to Melissa's final words.
"... Even more after learning that she suffered

Are you forgetting the day that Josias saved your skin?" He counters.Jeremiah breaks the smile. Damn, Josias told him! If the word gets out, everyone will think he's a coward, that a kid saved his skin."We talked about it, but he didn't want to raise the peace flag." Jeremiah shrugs and says that lame excuse.Carmen shakes her head. "Josias is not a good boy; but, much less you, huh?

Josias has a malicious, somewhat devilish smile. "Hello, Carmen! Will you let me in? It seems that yesterday we were not clear and specific with the conversation.""But, of course, you can't get in!" Carmen looks back, nervous, apprehensive."What's wrong, is your father still there?" Josias gets even closer, "He can't know that you were yesterday in the building where I live, making scandal and baseless accusations, right?""Get out, because he is actually about to leave to work!" Carmen speaks in a whisper, afraid someone will hear her."Yeah, someone has to keep this big house. If you were an operator or a secretary, you could help with household expenses." Josias scoffs at her and is having a lot of fun with it, "But since you have free time to go around making slanderous accusations, you also have time to listen to the other side and his defense."Carmen smiles slightly, showing disdain. "Defense on the other side? What defense do you have?"

And everything indicates that it was Pamela.The first time with Simeon, he was unable to prove it. But now with Carmen, it is as clear as water. Who else could have told Carmen that Josias was the father of Pamela's baby but Pamela herself?However, Josias decided neither to accuse Pamela in front of his older sister nor to tell her that he intended to visit her today. He just adds, "I understand that you are going through a difficult situation, Carmen. So you need to relax and enjoy that Mr. Bento is taking care of everything.""I don't know, sometimes I'm apprehensive about Mr. Bento."

"I want to know at once who it was that got you pregnant! I paid the greatest shame accusing Josias and he told me categorically that it wasn't him!"Pamela returns the machine-gun look to Carmen.

Melissa narrows her eyes even more. Carmen had asked for secrecy on the subject of pregnancy, but now Josias is repeating the story. How did he find out about that?"Was that the story she was telling me before I showed up?" Josias asks, also with a cold face."My love, Carmen had asked me to keep the secret. How did you find out?" Melissa asks instead of answering directly."She showed up just yesterday, making the biggest scandal and slapping me twice. She insinuated that I was the father." Josias shakes hands to Melissa, "But, that is a lie, dear! I love you, I would not suffer as much to have you as a girlfriend as I suffered for right after cheating on you, and even more so with your best friend!""No, of course not," Melissa has a strange expression, "if you were to betray me, it would be with a completely unknown person; so that I won't find out so easily."Josias is startled. That was not what he meant."You are distorting what I sai

At the quiet, tree-lined Ibrahim Square, Sarah sat alone on a bench, her gaze resting on an issue of the Maggiezine. She flipped through the pages, but her mind was elsewhere — clearly disconnected from whatever her eyes were scanning.Lost in thought, she barely noticed Reynaldo approaching until his voice startled her back to the present.“Sarah, thank goodness you’re safe, sound... and still a virgin!”She nearly jumped off the bench, utterly horrified by his sudden arrival — and even more so by his tactless choice of words.“What is going on with this town?” she snapped. “Is there something in the water?”“I drink charcoal-filtered water,” Reynaldo replied matter-of-factly, as if that settled the issue.“Well, good for you.” Sarah crossed her arms. “Reynaldo, can you explain to me if you have something against J.J.?”He sat down beside her, his demeanor defensive yet trying to remain calm.“I have nothing against him,” he insisted. “I met J.J. recently — when he came back ‘from th

At the Vasconcelos Fabrics headquarters, J.J. remained seated at his desk, a faintly amused smirk displaying on his lips. Across from him stood Dylan, still in his police uniform, exuding the solemn demeanor of a man trying to sort through a delicate situation.“You’ve been reported for assault, J.J.,” Dylan announced, his tone neutral but firm.J.J. didn’t flinch. “So the wuss decided to file a complaint instead of retaliating like a real man,” he replied coolly, barely looking up from his desk.Dylan’s brow furrowed. “As an officer of the law, I’m not in the business of revenge or retaliation.” His mouth curved slightly, but there was no warmth in the smile. “But I do try to understand what’s going on. According to Reynaldo, you snapped when you saw him near Sarah Paes.”At that, J.J. finally lifted his gaze, his demeanor shifting from flippant to serious. “Since you’re following in your father’s footsteps, I assume you know who Sarah is.” He paused for effect, then added gravely, “

But as they approached Brigitte’s office, their conversation came to an abrupt halt.“I’ve been waiting for you, you little fox!” came a sharp voice from down the hall.Brigitte froze, startled by the sight of Suzy standing at her office door, arms crossed and a glare cold enough to freeze hell over.******In the elegant living room of the Mountain Penthouse, Diane sat beside Felipe on the plush sofa, her demeanor gentle and maternal, despite the fact her son was a grown man.

That afternoon, the living room of the Mountain Penthouse was tense and electric. Diane stepped in, only to find her son Felipe in the middle of a heated argument with Jake Cogo. Her expression immediately twisted into one of displeasure.“Hey, what’s going on here?” she asked sharply. “Mr. Cogo, my son needs to rest.”Jake didn’t flinch. “I can see that, Mrs. Mountain. But this is urgent.”Placing her purse on the sideboard, Diane raised an eyebrow. “And what’s so important that it needs to be discussed right now?”Jake turned to her. “Felipe says he wants to break up with my sister. I have to be involved in this.”A sly, almost mischievous smile tugged at Diane’s lips. “And where is Suzy, by the way?”Jake flinched, suddenly sheepish. “Er... she went to look for investors at—”“I don’t give a damn!” Diane exploded. “Mr. Cogo—”“Jake,” he corrected quickly.“‘Jake,’ I’m deeply disappointed in the way Suzy handled this whole situation.

In the elegant living room of the Mountain Penthouse, Mary gently rocked baby Anthony in her arms. The soft rhythm of her lullaby filled the space — until the sound of the doorbell cut through the quiet.“That’s odd,” Mary murmured, her brow furrowing. “No one called from the front desk...” She approached the door cautiously and asked, “Who is it?”A voice responded from the other side. “Jake Cogo!”Mary raised an eyebrow, surprised. “Hold on a second!”Just then, Felipe emerged slowly, dressed in a white robe, walking with measured steps — the toll of his recent hospital stay still evident in his posture.“Who is it, Mary?” he asked.“Jake Cogo,” she answered, puzzled. “Cousin, weren’t you dating his sister?”Felipe grimaced, visibly annoyed by the mention.“Mary, I’m not dating Jake,” he clarified. “You better take our little cousin to his crib.”Mary gave a small smile. “Oh, Anthony’s already asleep. My lullaby must’ve been either very soothing or incredibly boring.”Felipe chuckle

At Café Montanha, Rodrigo returned from the supermarket and took a long, satisfied look around his bustling business. Customers chatted over coffee and snacks, while Neilton and the other waiters moved about swiftly and professionally, serving with ease.“Hey, Rod! What’s up?” Neilton called out with a grin.Rodrigo replied, “Neil, sometimes I envy you for not having a mountain of problems.”Laughing, Neilton shot back, “And I envy you for having a big, noisy family.”Rodrigo paused, swallowing hard. “I’m sorry.”“Nah, I’m just joking — well, maybe not. I do wish I had at least a younger brother.”Rodrigo chuckled lightly. “Whenever I need to, I talk to Veronica over video call. Anyway, I meant the problems at the supermarket.”They made their way to the counter.“Still that issue with the truck from Bezerra Farm?” Neilton asked.“That’s resolved. But now we know why it happened.” Rodrigo lowered his voice, glancing around. “Be careful with the Borges brothers. They’re not who we thou

At the Vaztrans office, Suzy walked in expecting to find Sofia at her desk. Instead, she was surprised to see Alan there alone.She had no idea she was about to be handled like livestock on its way to the slaughterhouse.“Alan, what a surprise. What are you doing here? Where’s Sofia?” she asked.Alan leaned back with a hint of irony in his tone. “Which of those two questions should I answer?”Suzy paused, confused by the odd remark.“We need to talk, Suzy,” he continued, pushing a check across the desk.Suzy’s breath caught as she picked it up and read the staggering amount.“This check...?” she whispered.“It’s the amount you invested in Vaztrans, plus ten percent in compensation, as outlined in your contract,” Alan explained coolly.“You’re... returning my investment?” she asked, her voice tight.“Exactly. We no longer require your partnership, Miss Cogo.”Suzy’s eyes narrowed. “May I ask what this is about?”“It’s simple,” Alan said, calm but firm. “My wife believes you’re not cont

In the Vaztrans offices, William extended a freshly written check to Sofia. Standing nearby, Alan wore a solemn expression, watching the transaction with quiet attention.“Here you go, my dear partner,” William said with finality. “This is our salvation.”Sofia took the check and her eyes widened with disbelief. “The bank’s never going to cash this much for Suzy,” she muttered.William shrugged indifferently. “Then they’ll figure out another way to get the money back to her.”Alan leaned forward, trying to get a better look at the amount. “My dad’s being pretty generous, huh?”“Thank God,” Sofia said. A relieved smile crept onto her face. “Any doubts I had about being accepted into this family are gone.” She brightened, holding the check delicately. “I’m even going to text Caroline. What do you think, honey?”Alan chuckled and leaned over, placing a gentle kiss on the crown of her head. “She’ll love that.”Still serious, William interjected, “So, who’s going to break the news?”Alan’s
