Beto shocked everyone when he announced that he was going to take on Rosemary.Cristina is offended because her granddaughter was very fine with her, “Beto, what's this story? Why do you want to do more harm to our family?”“What a beautiful family you are!” Beto disdains, “I want my daughter in a more peaceful environment. Mr. Damascene just wants to take care of his son, so I decided to do the same.”Cristina does not accept this, “Rosemary is very well here.”“In my apartment, I hired a nanny who takes care of Pedro. She is already aware and ready to take care of my daughter.”Daryl threatens him, “What if the Family Court finds out that you're dying to abuse my girlfriend?”Beto smiles sarcastically, “Don't even bother. The same judge will know what the wonderful Chaves family is like: the eldest daughter is a promiscuous fugitive and the patriarch had an adultery affair with the nurse... do you want me to continue?”Cristina clenches her fists, “I can't be blamed for Pam's mistak
Cristina desperately calls the Rocha Hotel. On the other side, Elza answers the call sitting at her desk.“Rocha Hotel, Elza Queiroz, good morning?”“Elza, you are the one I want to talk to!” Cristina relieves herself.Elza is reluctant to talk to Cristina, “Ehr... any problem, Cristina?”Cristina feels the distance when she doesn't hear the manager call her 'friend' or 'dear', “Is Mr. Damascene still staying at the hotel? What is his room?”“Yes, he's staying, hasn't returned to the Damascene house yet. They say he will sell it.”“What a shame. I need to talk to him about Rosemary's custody. He officially took over my granddaughter when he married Pamela, but now that she's gone and Mr. Damascene just wanted to be with little Theo, Beto wants to be with her.”Elza doesn't see any problem, “Oh, but if Beto is the legitimate father...”Cristina lumps in her throat, “Give him the phone, please.”“Cristina, Mr. Damascene is at his law firm and the son is with the nanny,” Elza informs her
Josias and Angela are walking in the foyer. The very white granite-like floor makes the room brighter than it already is.“Honey, when do you want us to formalize our union?” Josias asks with his jacket on his arm, “I want to end the conversation with the other schizophrenic.”“She's still saying she was the chosen one.” Angela laughs mercilessly, “Any time and day you want, Josias.”“Great, I'll ask Ernesto to find the best day.” Josias unlocks the double doors with his keys.“Honey, can I take the opportunity to ask for the wedding to be here?”Josias is about to leave, but is surprised by the request, “Do you want the wedding to be here?”Josias is afraid. If the ceremony takes place at the Rocha mansion, Melissa will not attend...“Was it a bad idea?” Angela notes his fear, “The mansion was perfect, very beautiful and spacious, and the covered garden could very well serve as a reception place. I've seen so many American movies where the romantic couple gets married in a house that
Josias enters Elza's office and finds her more relaxed, working hard on her computer. The headache was gone thanks to the aspirin.“Mom, can I talk to you for a moment?”Elza nods to the door where her son stands on the threshold, “Son! Come in, you can come. I'm going to ask Jane to bring you some coffee.”“No need, mother, the visit is brief.” Josias smiles slightly.“How can I help you?”“I think the family should be the first to know. Angie and I are considering formalizing the union later this year.”Elza nods, “After being four-time champions, there's one more reason to celebrate.”“Don’t you have any points against it?” Josias wants to know with some certain eagerness.Elza smiles assuredly, “Don't worry, my son. Of course, I wanted to see you and Melissa always together, but we can't cry over spilled milk.”Josias pulls a seat to him, “That's where my biggest concern is. Angie wants us to get married at the Rocha mansion, and Simeon and Dora have informed me that Melissa swore
Melissa is at her house, on the computer, focused on writing more episodes for the soap opera 'Sweet Love'. The radio helps her with inspiration from the song “Around the World”, from East 17. Melissa nods her head to the beat of the song.Dora approaches and smiles when she sees her daughter concentrating, “Whoever sees you like that, thinks you're not working.”“Let them think.” Melissa smiles defiantly, “I'm going to prove to everyone that I can do it.”Dora stands by her daughter, “And who thinks you can't?”“There's always someone,” Melissa grumbles.Dora prepares to communicate what Josias has decided at the mansion, “Daughter, your father has authorized me to inform you of a decision Josias made while we were at his mansion.”Melissa shows little interest, “Mom, please, I just want to hear from Josias when I talk about our children. His new life with Angela cannot be of interest to me.”Dora catches the word, “Cannot? What radicalism is this? No, honey, I'm going to tell you ri
Melissa is stunned to see how her parents forcibly want her to not be traumatized by the Rocha penthouse.The radio plays “Think Twice”, and it seems like Céline Dion is advising Melissa to think twice before acting.Melissa stands up and tries to fight back, “Mom, you're not serious. If I live in the Rocha penthouse, memories of my past with Josias will surface in my mind like ghosts. I will be miserable knowing that my ex-husband will no longer walk through that door to hug me, kiss me, and love me!”Dora takes pity on her daughter, “Honey, I know, but now you have Kelvin for that.”“Then it gets worse! Do you think Kelvin will want to live in a penthouse that was coined after another man?”Dora shrugs, “You can change it to 'Mountain Penthouse'. Or maybe Kelvin doesn't even care. Have you discussed this with him?”Melissa doesn't respond. She just realizes how she and Kelvin have stopped talking about a lot of things...Dora takes the opportunity to advise her, “Talk to him, dear.
At Crystal Blue, Daryl says goodbye to Kelvin. Waiters are cleaning the hall after the noon service.“Little brother, I'm going to date Diane before Roberto rapes her. Do you take care of the restaurant here?”“Sure.” Kelvin smiles displaying perfect teeth, “Melissa comes over and we'll talk.”“Ah, hence that smile.” Daryl pats his younger brother's shoulder.Melissa enters at this moment and finds the two, “Good afternoon, everyone. How is Diane, Daryl?”“Intact, that's what I hope. Excuse me, I'm heading there right now.” Daryl storms off, somewhat paranoid.Kelvin leads Melissa to the bar where Benjamin is cleaning the counter.“Ben, pour my girlfriend a shot of cognac.”“Is it Ben who's bartending here?” Melissa asks in surprise.Benjamin smiles, “I'm learning a few things, cousin.”Kelvin comments, “Ben told me that he tried to learn to cook in the past. If he dedicated himself, he could go from being a waiter to being a chef here.”Melissa smiles, “Are you listening, Ben? There
Miguel decides to stop being a mystery before Beto and Cristina suffer a massive stroke.“Rosemary goes to an Institution for Minors.”The bomb had the same effect as a massive stroke for both of them. WHAT?!Cristina splays her hands on the desk and stands up furiously, “WHAT? Will my granddaughter go to an orphanage?”“Exactly. She has no living biological father and her mother is a slut who abandoned her. This is what happens to children who are abandoned.”“But she has her maternal family that is still around!” Cristina roars like the lioness.“When I take all the confusions that Beto has just told me to the Family Court, no judge on this Earth will give custody to a crazy grandmother who raised a prostitute daughter.”“You DAMN IT!” Cristina slaps another ex-son-in-law.Beto rages, “How cool, you crazy old woman! Now you have complicated our situation!”“Shut up!” Cristina also slaps Beto and runs out of Damascene Lawyers.Beto tries one last time, “Please, Miguel, think carefull
