Chapter 932
Nadir nearly had a heart attack. The shock was so violent she stumbled backward and tipped toward the open window.“Aaah!”Sandro froze for a fraction of a second, then reacted with the precision of an action hero.He sprinted forward, grabbed her before she could pitch outward, and hauled her safely back into the room.They stared at each other, their mutual terror slowly dissolving… and then they fell into another kiss, fiercer and more urgent than the first.******As dusk settled over the city, Karl and Luana reached their apartment building and halted in surprise the moment they reached the door. Two familiar figures were waiting for them in the hallway.“Dad? Mom?” Karl blurted.Octavio opened his arms wide. “Hello, son!”Jade waved cheerfully. “Hi, Luana!”Luana nudged Karl, silently insisting he be more polite. “Hello! We didn’t know you were coming.”“We saw your stories announcing you were back,” Jade said. “We couldn’t miss the chance.”Karl set a few suitcases down, dug in

When the door clicked shut, Mark turned to Briana with a mischievous smile.“I think they want to be alone.”“Looks like it,” she said warmly. “So now it’s just the two of us.”She wrapped her arms around his neck, and he gazed at her with that gallant charm she adored.“If you weren’t already pregnant,” he murmured, “this would be the perfect moment to conceive our heir.”She giggled sweetly. “He-he… Not for a few years now.”“That won’t stop me from keeping our fire alive,” he teased, leaning close, “especially when we can still do—”He whispered a certain bed position into her ear. Briana’s entire face erupted in crimson.Though only she had heard it, she reacted as if he’d announced it live on an international podcast!“MARK FERRO, YOU DOG!”She began swatting his broad shoulders, pretending to be furious, but laughter bubbled out of her uncontrollably. Mark laughed even harder, letting her “attack” him until he caught both her hands gently in his.“Hey, it’s not like we’ve never

The news lit Claudia up like a chandelier. She smiled so broadly she looked five years younger.“Really? I’ve been trying to do that for ages! How did you manage it?”"Caught her screwing Collins and other suits from the company in the underground garage,” Sandro answered with a nonchalant tone.He walked off, leaving her standing there, chin resting thoughtfully on her hand.“Maybe I should try that with Rodolfo…” she muttered under her breath. “It’d be a new and… interesting experience.”She glanced around to ensure no one had heard her.The sound of Gilson’s furious strokes echoed from the pool.Smirking, she headed toward the patio.Claudia reached the pool just as Gilson swam back to the edge for a break. He climbed out, water dripping down his body.In Claudia's mind, he rose in slow motion: muscular, virile, hair on his chest glistening, stomach sculpted into a six-pack... and not a swimsuit in sight!The Gilson she had married.But when she blinked, the vision snapped. Reality

Mark frowned, trying to make sense of the chaos in his own home, and not liking what he heard.“Nadir,” he said slowly, “I know you want to discuss Bri’s diet with Julian while she’s pregnant.”“Mark…” she murmured, her voice timid.“But keep in mind he knows what he’s doing. His whole family works in gastronomy.”“I know—”Mark's voice sounded sterner. “And I will not tolerate mistreatment of my staff in my home.”Before the tension could rise further, Briana’s voice floated in from the dining room.“Sweetheart?”Nadir turned, and Briana stepped into view, wearing a modest swimsuit that accommodated her baby bump, a charming straw hat, and a light cover-up draped over her shoulders.Mark’s face softened instantly, all sternness forgotten the moment he saw his wife.Luana, however, kept a sharp eye on him. She wasn’t going to let him conveniently forget the matter!“Did you nap well?” Nadir asked sweetly.“Yes,” Briana said. “But if I wanted to sleep any longer, I wouldn’t have manage

“Is something wrong, Luana?”“Oh, hi, Mark! No, I was just telling YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW that Civil Defense notified us we can return to our apartment.”Nadir noticed the emphasis in the "mother-in-law" as if she wanted to remind her who she was. She frowned.“Are you sure the building won’t collapse with you inside it?” he asked.Nadir hid a smirk, secretly hoping it would collapse with Luana in it.“No, thank God it won’t,” Luana replied.“That bomb exploded in the ground-level garage,” Mark mused. “It must’ve damaged the foundations.”“For God’s sake, Mark,” Nadir snapped impatiently, “if Civil Defense said it’s safe, then it’s safe!”“What’s your problem, Nadir?”Realizing she’d spoken too sharply, she covered her mouth, eyes widening. Luana merely shot her a sideways glance, wearing a thin, mocking smile.******Vasconcelos Mansion, Living Room.Ensuring she was truly alone, Claudia closed the double doors with care. With her phone in hand, she scrolled to a particular contact, the

Claudia’s eyes flew wide as if she’d suddenly been cast into a sitcom she hadn’t prepared for.'Did that damned maid say something?' she wondered, then forced herself to speak. “And how do you know that wasn’t true?”“Sandro and I were at the dinner table. Neither you nor Nadir showed up.”For a split second, Claudia’s lips curled into a sly smile. Nadir hadn’t shown up last night either.'So the tramp didn’t come to dinner, meaning she spent the night with her lover too,' she mused with satisfaction.“When I got in, you were asleep,” she said.Gilson’s lips twitched in a crooked smile. He knew perfectly well she was lying—because he had also spent the night out, buried deep inside Celia until dawn.“That must’ve been it, then,” he said with cynical sweetness. “We need to pay closer attention to our marriage, my dear.”“Darling, that’s all I want for our lives,” she insisted.“Great. Then tonight, we’re having a special evening together.”It took every ounce of Claudia’s strength to f
