2023-06-30 20:03:04On the sand of Sunset Village beach, Josias was imposing in his navy blue suit that matched the beach scenario. He patiently waited for Tiago’s ‘boys’ to come with Gabriela.
They were in a secluded corner of the beach, and another guy from Tiago had taken off his suit, tie, and shirt, and was in a hole, digging it deeper with a shovel.
Tiago observed the depth of the pit and asked, “Master, is it all right for you?”
Josias realized that he could barely see Tiago’s helper’s head, just the shovel and sand coming out, “That’s enough.”
Tiago extends his hand and helps the helper out of the pit.
The limousine pulls up and stops at the start of the sand.
Josias is amused to see how the three security guards struggle to drag an unwilling Gabriela to them.
“NO, NO, NO! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NO! HELP, PEOPLE, HELP! I DON’T WANT TO DIE, I DON’T WANT TO DIE, I DON&rsquo

The next day, Josias knocks on Alan’s bedroom door. The heir opens the door wearing a sky-blue robe.“Yes, Dad?”“Son, before you have breakfast, come and find out what is going on,” Josias commands him.Alan tightens the tie on his robe and closes the door, following his father’s lilting steps.Josias walks to one of the guest rooms. Tiago is there, present and somber. His hand tucked inside his suit made Alan wonder if he was holding a gun.Josias opens the door and the three gentlemen enter.Gabriela is leaning against the headboard, eating a breakfast consisting of strawberry jelly and raspberry flan. On the bedside table is a steaming cup of coffee.“We are ready, Gabriela,” Josias announces.“Dad, what is she doing here?” Alan wonders, “Won’t that get us into trouble?”“On the contrary, son. Finally, we’re looking for solution

At Rocha Mansion, Josias, Tiago, and Alan continue to listen to Gabriela and her confessions.But Gabriela keeps looking at Tiago’s hand, “Is he holding a gun under his suit?”Josias gestures, “Don’t mind Tiago. Focus on me, tell me everything you know, like you promised.”Gabriela feels tremors and decides to continue, “OK. After I was beaten and taken to the hospital, I obviously resented Katherine’s assault on me and vowed revenge.”Josias interrupts her, annoyed, “Here’s another mistake of yours. Why did you need to seek revenge? Don’t you see, Gabriela? This is where things got worse! I could very well force Kate to apologize, but you have lost your reason for wanting to reciprocate in kind.”Gabriela retorts, “But your dear wife blew up the peace pact when she invaded Isabel Freire’s autograph session and assaulted Maggie.”“Then that&

At Rocha Mansion, the controversial talk between Josias and Gabriela continues.“Gabriela, don’t take me for a fool.” Josias raises his index finger, “You claim that you had no part in the photographs and the anonymous e-mail, but it was precisely this action that helped you to carry out the plan: Kate filed for divorce and went to Boston, dying on the high seas along with my son.”Gabriela despairs, remembering the grave dug in the sand on the beach, “I swear, Josias... I met you by chance. I enjoyed the moments when you fed pizza in my mouth as if we were dating. But I wasn’t posing for any photographer. That was a terrible coincidence.”“Yeah, but it served your purposes.” Josias somberly concludes, “Next, Melissa appeared in front of me wanting to confess to the plan, but then backtracked. So...”Alan is startled and asks angrily, “Hey, you mean my mom going to Victoria&mdas

Thankfully, we won’t need surgery for correction and stanching.” The doctor winks at him.Daryl was about to sigh, but the movement makes his ribs hurt, “Ouch... I’ll have to breathe carefully.”“Only for now. I’ll send a nurse to give you a pain reliever.”Beto was nearby, “Thanks, doc. Looks like if it weren’t for Josias’s secretary, the friend here could have something worse.”“How strange, I didn’t expect the people of Mr. Rocha was of this violent strain. OK, I need to see other patients.”Doctor Braggart retires.Daryl looks at Beto gratefully, “Roberto, I appreciate you taking me here.”“You don’t have to thank me.” Beto gesture

The next day, Josias showed up at Daryl’s penthouse building. Felipe passed by with bags from the nearest grocery store.“Hello, Mr. Rocha!” The young man greets him with a charismatic smile.Josias remembers that Felipe is not to blame for being adopted into a family of crooks and greets him politely, “Hello, Felipe, good morning. Don’t your parents have servants to do the shopping?”“No, and I don’t care. So I know the neighborhood.” Felipe responds politely.The elevator arrives and they enter. Felipe presses the penthouse button. Josias presses Vernon’s pavement button.Felipe looks at where Josias pressed, “Are you going to visit your family? They are good people.

And it’s not because of what Gabriela Alves believes. By the way, how did she come up with that idea?”João Paulo shrugs, “I told you, Mom. The creepy girl wants to win Josias back and is using my daughter as a tool. She knows I’m going to fight in the Family Court for full custody.”“Why would Gabriel

What sad faces are these?”“Mr. Rocha, you better check with your secretary,” Mirella responds scared, fearing of being fired.Josias gets worried, goes through the access roulette, and hurriedly goes to his office.Upon reaching Pollyanna’s desk, she promptly rises, “Mr. Rocha! Forgive me for being the bearer of bad news, but I have to inform you that there has been a nasty fight near the elevators.”“What happened?” Josias worries.“Daryl Mountain wanted to talk to Mr. Motta, but he skipped the access roulette wheel. The security guards held the intruder, but instead

Do you intend to apply for the next MMA?”Octavio takes a deep breath, fearing that Josias first found out about the incident from Daryl.

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

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—”
