“Luana,” Briana said, recovering from the initial shock, “you’re suggesting my mother is having an affair with my servant!”“Not exactly,” Luana clarified. “I’m saying your mother is tempting Julian like Potiphar’s wife. Julian is a sweetheart; he would never say anything to you. But I started paying attention. At lunchtime, when you began to pray, Julian was nearby. When we said ‘Amen’ and opened our eyes, Julian had retreated back to the kitchen. And that’s when your mother...”“Swore in dissatisfaction,” Briana finished, the realization hitting her. “Right after praying to God...”Briana was momentarily paralyzed, her jaw slack. Then, she picked up her fork and resumed eating the crepe.Luana leaned back in her chair, saying nothing more. She had done enough.******In the Ferro House kitchen, Julian walked in, holding a tray of chicken salad sandwiches meant for Briana and Luana.The reason he had returned with the tray was clear in his heavy breathing, his wide, panicked eyes, an

Althea nodded, refusing to retract her crude statement. Sandro, however, couldn't accept his “princess” doing those same things!“Come on, Sandro!” Althea scoffed. “How did Briana get pregnant? By the Holy Spirit?”She turned to Nadir with utter contempt. “As for you, Madam, you will be a grandmother soon. Maintain some decorum, and let my son go to work!”Althea turned and stalked out, indignation radiating from her.Nadir snatched a deodorant bottle from the nightstand and hurled it at the door as it closed.In the Vasconcelos Mansion corridor, Althea merely heard the sound of the object hitting the doorframe. She allowed herself a small, dismissive smile.Claudia appeared, dressed for work in a sharp terracotta pantsuit.“Good morning, Althea,” Claudia chirped. “No more bombs exploded, so let’s go to work.”“At least someone is thinking with their upper head,” Althea muttered.Claudia paused, glancing at Sandro’s suite door, a malicious smile creeping onto her face. “What happened

In Mark’s office at Glamour, Mark gestured for Elara to take a seat. She complied, her eyes subtly tracing the muscular back and firm physique of Manager Ferro as he walked around the expansive desk to sit opposite her.‘How I envy Mrs. Ferro,’ Elara thought to herself.“Miss D'Arveil,” Mark began formally, “I want to sincerely thank you for taking an interest in the affairs of Braspolis.”“You’re welcome, Manager Ferro.”“I wanted to know if you had given proper thought to the proposal we made about you becoming a candidate for the status of Mrs. Vasconcelos.”Elara smiled suggestively. “Manager Ferro, may I be frank with you?”“Always.”“I’ve been doing some research. As you know, I’m not exactly from around here. I spent a good part of my life in Europe.”“And what did your research reveal?” Mark asked, kind of feeling what she will answer, and not liking it.“Christopher Vasconcelos, as I’ve already established, is a first-rate hunk,” she said, her voice switching to a seductive w

Moments later, on the main streets of Braspolis, traffic was flowing smoothly and lightly, a surreal sight considering the packed buses and the booming business for ride-share drivers.Inside his car, Mark was driving, still noting the ease of the morning commute.“Will people ever settle down?” he muttered to himself, shaking his head at the strange urban calm.Mark pulled his Lamborghini Urus to a stop at the gatehouse of the Glamour building garage. The boom barrier was slow to lift.Beep! Mark honked, staring at the gatehouse’s tinted window, impatient with the delay.After what felt like an eternity, he was finally admitted. He drove the Lamborghini toward his usual spot, only to suddenly SLAM on the brakes.A crowd of Glamour employees had gathered, all focused on a single person.From his vantage point inside the car, Mark’s frown deepened as he registered three key things:His customary parking spot was occupied by another car.The person commanding everyone’s attention was El

“I expect you to keep your girlfriends under control, Julian,” Mark said, his voice sounding with faint disapproval.“Yes, Lord Ferro,” Julian replied, slightly flustered. He gave a quick bow and hurried toward the kitchen.Once he closed the dining room door, Julian pulled out his ringing phone and rolled his eyes at the screen.“Mrs. Vasconcelos...!” he answered, his tone flat.Meanwhile, at the Vasconcelos Mansion...In Sandro’s master bathroom, Nadir, still in her nightgown, was sitting on the toilet but not actually using it. The door was, predictably, locked.“Julian, we need a clear definition regarding our relationship,” Nadir stated into the phone.“What relationship?” Julian asked with undisguised contempt.“Precisely, that is the problem,” she said, choosing to ignore his tone. “We are wasting time with anguish and stalling.”“But it is you who is harboring vain feelings for me!” Julian countered, horrified.“My feelings are pure and noble,” she declared.“Go seek help, you
Chapter 934 Rainy Monday
Some days later.The sky above Braspolis was a heavy, bruised canvas, revealing clouds thick with an imminent downpour. A sense of false twilight hung over the day.Outside the Ferro House, by the swimming pool, Domitila worked with frantic haste. The wind had scattered tree leaves across the pool deck, and she was sweeping them up, racing against the deluge she knew was coming.“Lord God,” she muttered, wiping a sleeve across her brow, “hold those clouds back just a little longer while I sweep, please!”In the garage, Everton, who was known to wash the cars shirtless, was now fully dressed and still shivering. He flinched and sneezed as he rinsed Briana’s Beetle, the contact with the cool water clearly affecting him.“I think I’m catching a cold,” he sniffled, bending over. “A-CHOO!”******Inside the Ferro House, in the master suite, the dual sound of Mark’s and Briana’s cell phones cut through the morning silence. They were set to the same strident alarm.Briana snuggled deeper int
