Kelvin's hand was still holding Melissa's.Bernardo and Maggie enter next.“Look, honey, our photographers have already shown up.”Bernardo frowns, “Can we forget about the magazine? We came to pay our condolences to the widow Rocha.”“OK, I won't mention the biography.” Maggie frowns for another reason, “Argh, my mom came!”“Wasn't she supposed to come?” Bernardo asks intrigued.“Of course not. She does not miss an opportunity to offend me.”“One more reason for us to maintain the politeness today, we are at a wake.” Bernardo pull
Building My Life Chapter 1190 The Wake (3)
Ephraim is in Itaporanga village, in a rustic bar, reading one of the few copies of the newspaper you can get in those parts. On the first page, the headline announces the wake of Josias Rocha.A 1960s radio is playing Gloria Estefan's song "Coming Out of the Dark," as if she's saying something to Ephraim.But Ephraim doesn't know English nor did he know about the accident that almost took the life of Gloria Estefan. He returns the newspaper to the bar owner and pays for the drink.“It’s happening.” He comments as he leaves, with a smart smile.******In the arena, more people gather to say goodbye to Lagoon City's hottest businessman, even only for a short time.Mayor Ibrahim and Tobias respectfully greet Melissa, and countless flashes pop to capture the moment.Moacyr and Cristina arrive and notice the venue is fuller.“Are we going to get a place to sit?” Cristina worries.Carmen stands up and waves at the couple, showing that she has saved seats for them.As they are in a row behi
Building My Life Chapter 1191 The Newspaper Photo
Father Mathias continues, “With faith in God and the strength of his fists, Josias Rocha built a full and prosperous life for himself. From a few reais in his pocket to a bank account containing infinite zeros, Josias Rocha became an important part of Silva Constructions until he fully owned it and renamed the company with his last name.”Everaldo remains uncomfortable with the posthumous honors given to Josias. Something inside him said it wasn't the end...“Josias was also very fortunate in love. A wife, children, a devoted mother, and a younger brother who looks up to him. Josias will be missed, but the mark he left on the world will never be erased.”“It won't go out because he's still alive!” Everaldo can't take it anymore and bursts into the wake, catching everyone's eye.João Paulo gets up and yells wildly, “Where were you, you wizard? Why didn't you stop my brother from dying?”“Son, take it easy.” Elza tries to pull him back into the seat.Father Mathias is confused, “Excuse
Building My Life Chapter 1192 Everything As Planned
The Bezerra family doctor leaves Josias's room at the same time that Katherine wants to come in with the newspaper. She murders the doctor with her gaze because of his permission for Josias to return home.“My dad waits for you in his studio to pay you,” she growls.The doctor walks away without understanding why Miss Bezerra is bitter and sour.Katherine slams the door so hard that Josias has a bad feeling.“Hey, what's up, Kate?”She disguises her irritation by pretending she's like this because of the newspaper, “That's what happened!”Katherine throws the newspaper into Josias's lap. He picks it up and reads it...And he loses all the color in her face as if he were really in the coffin being veiled.“What does that mean? My funeral? Who told my family that I died?”“After so long without meeting you, they must have come to that conclusion.” Katherine plays dumb.“But this is unacceptable! I need to get back, I need to undo this mis—”Josias's face in white turns red.He saw the p
Building My Life Chapter 1193 Defend Your Fiancée!
Moacyr and Cristina are displeased when they see Adrian's unwelcome presence.“Son, respect to my fiancée,” Moacyr demands with a frown.But, Adrian becomes more petulant, “I will have no respect for this witch, ever!”“Enough!” Cristina walks away, “I'm not going to stand here listening to insults!”“Stay right where you are, you slut!” Adrian bellows at the top of his lungs, “You're nothing but a slum dweller, you don't have rights or privileges like me!”“Who are you calling a slut?” Out of nowhere, Raymond appears and grabs Adrian by the shoulder, making him turn to face him.An accurate punch is delivered to Adrian, causing him to stumble backward.Moacyr interposes between the two, “Hey, no fighting here!”Raymond is outraged, “What do you mean? This idiot is insulting your fiancée and you do nothing?”“I'm not in the mood to create scandal in the building where my fiancée works.” Moacyr asserts.“Then kick that worm out of here! I will not tolerate this behavior!” Raymond dodge
Building My Life Chapter 1194 The Feast
Katherine breaks into a sweat as she imagines herself in the same bed as Josias, screaming in pleasure and pain as he brutally, savagely, and sickeningly possesses her.However, she just says, “We'll be waiting for you at seven o'clock.”“Are you sure your dad is going to allow me into his living room without my underwear under my dress pants?” Josias insists on provoking and fanning Katherine's impure desires.“Tomorrow we provide something!” Katherine doesn't face Josias.“It's not very difficult. Your maid just needs to take the same measurements she took to sew the pants.” Josias responds as if insulting the intelligence of the Bezerra family maid.Katherine takes the hint and strides out of Josias's room.When she slams the door, she scowls, “Today you'll still be naked, Josias, and with me!”******Melissa crosses Main Square with shopping bags. In the opposite direction, Kelvin performs his jog, already sweaty. He slows down to meet Melissa.“Mrs. Rocha! Can I have a minute of
Building My Life Chapter 1195 Enough of the Pretending
Dinner normally takes place at the Bezerra farm. Josias is delighted with the lamb loin and the tropeiro beans.However, his wine glass remains intact.“Aren't you going to drink the wine, Josias?” Katherine urges him, “It comes from a good vintage.”“Do you make your own wine?” Josias asks as if he is interested.“Yes, and we are very proud of it,” Ephraim responds with his cocked chest.“I'm asking it because of my future hotel.” Josias responds excitedly, “Imagine if we struck a deal to serve your wine to my guests?”“Wow, that would be great!” Katherine responds only to cover up.If their plan works, Josias will never return to Lagoon City, so he can forget about the hotel and all.“Well, for that you need to taste my wine to see if it's worthy of being in your pantry.” Ephraim cleverly suggests consumption.Josias chuckles and finally takes the cup to drink.Wow! Josias didn't know if the wine was grape juice or alcohol!Josias had never drunk such strong and concentrated wine in
Building My Life Chapter 1196 Went to Get Wool and Left Sheared
“DAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDYYYYY!!”Ephraim runs still in tacky pajamas from his room to the guest room when he hears his dear daughter's crazy scream.If last night he didn't want to open the door when his daughter was being brutally possessed by Josias, now he breaks down the door like Indiana Jones.Katherine's face is expressing panic and terror. She's wrapped in the blankets and is now able to lean back against the headboard.“DAUGHTER, what the hell happened to you?” Ephraim asks this foolish question.“Where is he, daddy, where is my husband?”“What are you talking about?”“I woke up and he's not here!” Katherine cries like a little girl, even though yesterday she was moaning and screaming like a mature woman.Ephraim calms down, “Ah, daughter, is that it? Surely your husband is in the bathroom cleaning himself.”“The window was closed yesterday!” Katherine points to the open window.Ephraim frowns, not understanding what Katherine is getting at. He goes to the window.Their house is on

Chapter 3248 Go Date the Spanish Stallion
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
Chapter 3247 Understanding What's Going On
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, “

Brigitte and Theodore were chatting animatedly in the bustling corridors of Damascene Lawyers, sidestepping lawyers and clients moving briskly through the hall.“How are your studies going, Theodore?” Brigitte asked with a warm smile.“Excellent,” he replied. “Every now and then my dad hands me a case to look over.”“Must be nice, being the boss’s son,” she teased.Theodore chuckled heartily, clearly enjoying the perks of nepotism. 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. She looked at him with quiet concern.“Are you really sure about ending the relat
Chapter 3245 The Kiss of the One We Love
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. I was supporting her as my future daughter-in-law

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
Chapter 3242 Not Such a Cordial Neighbor
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
Chapter 3241 The Mountain Family Has Lost Its Relevance
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
Chapter 3240 You Keep the Cycle of Hate Spinning
At the Lafayette Mansion, in the elegantly furnished living room, Thierry was seething with fury. The revelation that criminals had used his supermarket as a stage for their schemes infuriated him.“How dare those idiots?” he barked. “And what about Leonardo? Isn’t he the top lawyer at Damascene Lawyers?”J.J. answered with a grim tone. “Apparently being a lawyer for the most prestigious firm in Lagoon City has become some sort of cover for him.”Rodrigo, firm and resolute, added, “Well, then we’ll have to tear that cover off. Brigitte and Little Theo can’t have their reputations stained.”“And let’s not forget,” J.J. continued, “my father is a client of that firm. He knows Miguel Damascene personally — he’s the current owner.”Thierry clenched his jaw. “And there’s more. My wife is Little Theo’s sister—”
