William returns to his parents' house after a grueling day at the warehouse. Now the radio is playing “I’m Not Giving You Up” by Gloria Estefan. Dora was sweeping the floor when she sees her slumped-shouldered son.

“Sonny, what happened this time?”

“False alarm, mother. I won’t be the supermarket manager.”

Simeon comes from the kitchen with a ham sandwich in hand, “What did you say, son? How was that possible?”

“As much as Beto had goodwill, the one who decides, in the end, is Mr. Ramos.” William collapses on the couch.

“Oh son, we're sorry.” Dora sits next to him, “Well, at least you still have the job as a warehouse supervisor.”

“No, mom, I don't know if I want to continue in this life.” William shakes his head, “I told you I want to leave a legacy for my son. The Ramos Supermarket warehouse is not mine, and there is no guarantee that Caio will be hired in my place.”

Simeon stares at his son with interest, “What are you thinking about, Will?”

William smiles slightly, “I'm thinking a

    The Montanha family effusively celebrated the gold medal won by sailors Torben Grael and Marcelo Ferreira. Brazil has always been a difficult country to win many gold medals like the USA, Russia, and China. So any medal in any Olympic sport is always welcome and widely celebrated.Caroline and J.J didn't quite understand what was going on, but they celebrated anyway. Alan and Kelvin waved Brazilian flags from the penthouse balcony. Veronica brought more popcorn from the kitchen to fill her belly.“I brought more food, people! We still have ham sandwiches in the oven.”“Thank you, Veronica.” Melissa snatches the popcorn bucket and eats it voraciously.Veronica invites Rodrigo to chat in a corner of the living room, “Brother, did happen what I'm thinking?”“I don't know what you're thinking,” Rodrigo responds calmly.“Did you observe how much food Melissa prepared?” Veronica blinks mischievously.“Of course, the penthouse is full of visitors.”“Argh, you men...” Veronica rolls her eyes

    Melissa almost drops the platter with the ham sandwiches. Veronica reaches out to take it, but Melissa catches herself in time and places the tray on top of the marble countertop.“Veronica, don't play with such a thing.” She asks her cousin.“Why would I joke about such a subject?” Veronica blinks, “It's entirely normal. Do you think I won't have children when I marry Jack?”“Are you going to marry Jack?” Melissa tries to deflect the subject.“We are still dating. Hey, why are you deflecting the subject?”Melissa takes one of the sandwiches and eats, “I don't know... I'm wondering how Josias and my kids are going to react.”“Josias will wish you well and that you don't die in childbirth, and Alan and Caroline will celebrate the arrival of another little brother or sister.” Veronica sums it all up with childlike ease.But Melissa doesn't think the solution will be so easy. If Josias gets angry... Would he order an abortion?What if he's a boy? What if this son also wants to feel entit

    Monday. Melissa is early morning at Dr. Silvana's. She was supposed to make an appointment, but Melissa still maintains her status as the powerful and sovereign Diva of Lagoon City.That's why Silvana didn't complain about messing up her schedule and promptly answered Melissa, “Come in, Melissa, come in!”“You look like you have patients to see at the front desk,” Melissa responds humbly.“They can wait. One of them might ask for your autograph.” Silvana giggles.Melissa sits up and lowers her head, “Autograph for what? I am no longer Mrs. Rocha."“But still with power and sovereignty, my dear.” Silvana corrects her, “Did someone complain that you got in the front?”Melissa remembers that no. On the contrary, the pregnant women who were nearby lowered their heads and walked away as if Melissa were Empress Sissi.Silvana continues to speak, “Anyway, you're here because you want to know if you're pregnant, huh? Let's do the exams now!”Melissa is excited by Silvana's good mood, “Kelvin

    After the exams, Dr. Silvana is elated. Melissa captures her good mood.“Doctor... By your face...”“Congratulations, Melissa! You are indeed pregnant! How is it that the morning sickness still hasn't set in?”“They'll probably show up now.” Melissa stands up, “Oh Lord, I'm expecting a baby from Kelvin Mountain!”“Congratulations, Melissa.” Silvana squeezes her hand, “Your hubby is handsome and healthy, I hope the good genes pass on to your son or daughter.”“God hear you, doctor! And thank you so much for everything!”Dr. Silvana holds out the brown envelope to her. Melissa hugs the doctor, barely holding on with happiness, and says goodbye already with tears in her eyes.******At Crystal Blue, the conversation remains tense between Daryl and Kelvin.“Daryl, stop calling Josias's other sons 'bastards'.”“Am I telling a lie?” Daryl counters with a sarcastic smile, “They were born out of holy matrimony. One of them caused the divorce, and Melissa suffered greatly from it. Glad she met

I'll be back at lunchtime for you to eat and rest.”Maggie hands Henrique over to her. Henrique is already big and walking, but the ladies insist on picking him up.“Whoa! How heavy he is!” Cleide jokes.“Time passes. I'm getting old.” Maggie responds between giggles.“Imagine how I am!” Bernardo approaches, “I hope to be able to witness the graduation of my heir.”“You will surely witness this.” Cleide says, “And the college will be journalism.”“Better journalism than traveling sales,” Bernardo grumbles.Maggie is embarrassed by the comment, “Ehr... That's all, Cleide, thank you.”Cleide leaves with Henrique after Maggie kisses her son on the cheek.“No need to spoil the mood by commenting on the street vendor.”“Do you want us to have a meeting condemning her presence?” Bernardo worries.M

    At the entrance of Marçal Publishing, Bernardo and Maggie find Shirley again selling her butter cookies to the company's employees. Even the security guards at the entrance who were supposed to expel her surrendered to the taste of the delicacy.“Thank you very much, young man.” Shirley greets them mockingly, “Oh, good morning? Do you want a bag of shortbread cookies?”“Which of these does not contain potassium chloride?” Maggie asks bitterly.Shirley just laughs, “This daughter of mine was always good-natured.”Bernardo is short and direct, “The point is this, my mother-in-law: Josias Rocha has determined that you must sell this crap at the entrance of the Vargas Building. It seems that the people at Rocha Constructions miss this delicacy.” The word 'delicacy' came out with irony.Shirley breaks the wry smile, “They miss my cookies, but not me?”“You got the message.” Maggie warns her, “If you refuse to sell to more customers and expand your sales, then that means you're only here ou

We need to call the police!” Wallace states shaking with rage.“But on what charge would we order her arrest?” Harold scratches his chin, “Should I use the revolver?”“Mr. Freire,” Beto's voice trembles, “I want to take this opportunity and ask you not to go to that extreme. Please, don't kill my sister.”“Mr. Reis..."“You can call me Beto, or Roberto.”“My young Roberto, your sister has done a tremendous amount of harm in our lives, and apparently, she won’t stop until she sees me dead.”Wallace hugs his father tightly, “You're not going to die, Dad. I forbid you!”“But how will my heart take so much stress?” Harold questions him, “I won't put up it, just like Teodoro couldn't bear it.”Beto lumps in his throat, “Mr. Freire, if Vera shows up here, you can call the police and accuse her of disturbing the peace in the neighborhood.

What is it, Diane?”“Are you aware that Melissa is pregnant?”“Yes, my brothers informed me yesterday.”“It seems that Will Campos is not joyful with the good news.

    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.

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.
