Vera is sitting comfortably on the sofa while listening to the song “Cantare é d'Amore”, by Amedeo Minghi. Someone outside claps and she gets up to see who it is.Through the living room window, she smiles, “Beto! To what do I owe the honor of your visit?”“Sister, we need to talk urgently. It's time you knew some truths.”Vera worries and hurriedly opens the door for Beto, “Get in quick, bro. I don't want Renan's spies to see you.”“Do you think they will dare to do so?” Beto enters and Vera closes the door.“You never know with these freaks. So what's the big news?"Beto takes a deep breath. He's sweaty and his face shows big brother's concern, “I just came from the police station. Do you know why Mr. Vasconcelos 'saved' you from the nightclub and you were never bothered again?"“Because the imbecile thought he was going to marry me,” Vera speaks with disdain.“It's more than that, Vera. Renan Vasconcelos owns the nightclub.”Vera is stunned to the extreme. What?******At the polic
At Simeon's house, Vera turns off the radio so she can talk better with Beto.“Beto, please, don't lie to me...” She's shocked, she doesn't know where to turn.Beto leads Vera to the sofa as if she were an elderly woman, “Sit here, little sis. I know this comes as a shock to you, but unfortunately, that was the result of the Amoreira investigation.”“At least some law enforcement official decided to do something.” Vera says ironically, “For a moment I thought Renan was above the law.”“We're going to defeat this guy, Vera, and everything will go back to normal. After all, it ties in with some of the stuff I've heard. For example, while Renan was staying at the Rocha Hotel, there was an unusual influx of prostitutes.”“You think he owns a prostitution ring and I was part of it without knowing it?”Beto crosses his arms, “Vera, how did you get into this mess?”“I read the wanted ads and found the ad looking for a nightclub employee,” Vera answers simply.Beto narrows his eyes, “Just tha
At Crystal Blue, the discussion continues between Renan and the Mountain brothers.Renan looks at the table kicked by Renan, “Poor table, Mr. Mountain.”“Don't worry about it. I kicked the table thinking I'd kick your head!” Kelvin blusters.“Should I take that as a threat?”Daryl walks over and tries to lead the freak out, “Mr. Vasconcelos, there is not the slightest reason for you to stay here. Please, leave.”“I just wanted to know how Melissa is doing!” Renan feels entitled to feel misunderstood, “Why do you think I want to hurt her?”“Because you insist on being around her when she doesn't want you,” Daryl responds sagely.“When she gets to know me better—”Kelvin can't take it anymore and punches the businessman, knocking him out.“KELVIN!” Daryl scolds him.“Looks like this asshole only understands this language, Daryl!” Kelvin exclaims, “We've been asking him to leave for ages, but he won't!”Renan wakes up from the temporary stupor and massages his sore chin, “Ouch... now the
Beto returns to the Rocha Mansion. Teresa is in the living room watching ‘Sweet Love’. But when the show enters the commercial break, she readily pays attention to her boyfriend.“And then, dear? How did your sister do?”“She's fine, Tess,” Beto responds happily.“What about this talk that the mayor released the investigation into Renan Vasconcelos?” Teresa is hopeful, “Do you think we will finally get peace and security?”“Sure, darling, trust God and He'll take care of the rest. Our part we have already done.” Beto kisses her affectionately on the cheek.“Then continue to watch the soap opera with me, the episode is interesting.” Teresa hooks her arm through her boyfriend's arm and won't let go.Usually, Beto would protest, but he is so happy with his younger sister's imminent release that he agrees to watch the show.******Josias visits Crystal Blue to gather more information about Melissa.“Hello, Mountain Brothers! Are you managing to ensure Melissa's peace and security?”Daryl
William is shocked to learn that Vera is living at his parents' house with Wallace. But Vera doesn't understand why the hysteric is so revolted and disgusted by this.“You are a scoundrel!” William finally spews more nonsense, “You got to live in sin with Wallace! What about him? Hadn't he sworn he would never forgive you? I can see that he has always been a weak coward!”“Now ENOUGH!” Vera slaps William.William, taken by surprise, almost loses his balance and falls, “OUCH! Yeah, bitch, keep hitting me! When the argument fails, that's all you have left.”“I have no arguments because there is nothing to discuss here!” Vera thunders, “Get out of here, William! And if you report me to Renan, the coward here will be you!”“OK, you asked for it!”William was going to leave, but when he opened the door, Wallace and Uélton were about to enter. They came back from work.“Hey, what are you doing here, Will?” Uélton asks with embarrassment, “Your parents haven’t returned from their trip yet.”
Wallace can't take it anymore and punches William for all the evil things he's done to Vera. William is thrown onto the sofa.“OUCH! I've been attacked again! What's wrong with you guys?”Uélton asks, “What do you mean, you were attacked again?”“That harlot has already slapped me for having told some truths.” William sits on the couch, caressing his sore jaw. He tastes iron in his mouth.“What truths? You said I'm bringing my clients here as if this were a brothel!” Vera exclaims, “Wally, is this what happened?”“Of course not.” Wallace responds with a gasp, “But it surprises me that William continues to have such an overactive imagination.”Uélton adds, “Will, you are Beto's friend. Does he know how much you despise his sister?”“I ain’t obliged to agree with her promiscuous life just because I’m Beto's friend,” William exclaims.“Will, one day the truth will be exposed.” Vera exclaims in a bitter tone, “After that, I'll await your apologies. Excuse me, I need to take a shower.”Ver
Kelvin calls General Hospital while Melissa is sitting on the couch. The radio this time plays “Electrolite” by R.E.M.“Yes, we are already going there. Goodbye!” Kelvin hastily hangs up.Melissa asks between gasps, “Phew... Honey, why did you call the hospital... guaranteeing a bed?”Kelvin turns to his wife and smiles, “Honey, you probably didn't notice your water breaking when you were taking a shower! The twins will be born!”Melissa is stunned. The pains she is feeling are actually contractions!Alan and Caroline appear from the hall.“What did you say, Kelvin?” Alan asks, “Are the twins due today?”“Cool!” Caroline exclaims.“Yes, everyone, we need to help your mother!” Kelvin goes back to the phone to call more people.Melissa is doing the famously controlled breathing, “Don't worry, kids, it was the same with you too.”Alan takes his mother's hand, “It's going to be all right, Mommy.”“Yes, I want to see my siblings!” Caroline vibrates.Kelvin answered the phone, “Hi, hello, M
At General Hospital, Dr. Silvana is ready to receive Melissa.She is wheeled on a gurney by male nurses. Kelvin, Alan, and Caroline go after her.“Guys, from now on we'll take care of this.” Dr. Silvana raises her hands and doesn’t let the family pass.“Can we wait in the lounge?” Kelvin asks.“Certainly. Although we could have the company of the father.”Elza and Vernon arrive immediately.“Did anyone speak about the father?” Elza asks, “Go ahead, Kelvin, we'll take care of the kids.”“Thank you, guys! Glad you came.”“We call more people, they will come later,” Vernon responds reassuringly.“Let's go!” Silvana guides the nurses to the maternity ward. Kelvin follows eagerly.Alan turns to the grandparents, “I hope everything goes well.”“Let’s pray so, little grandson.” Vernon strokes his grandson's hair.******In Teodoro's building, Flávia and Isabel are divided about what to do.
