Gilson showed everyone his cellphone, displaying the selfie of Christopher and Elara taken before dinner. When the phone reached Claudia, she refused to take it.Nadir smiled maliciously and rose from the other side of the table to retrieve the device.“Let me see,” she said, taking the phone with a deliberate tone. “Ah, what a LOVELY young woman!”“Perfect,” Althea stated proudly. “If Christopher chooses her, she will have my blessing.”“You don't give your blessing on anything around here, you cranky old hag!” Claudia exploded.Gilson lashed Claudia with a look that silenced her instantly. She swallowed the insults that would not be spoken.Nadir just smirked at her hateful sister-in-law.“You should be proud of your son’s potential girlfriend,” Nadir said, passing the phone to Sandro. “Did you want him to choose an unqualified girl?”“He is still too young to marry,” Claudia insisted.“And you want the Vasconcelos family to vanish?!” Gilson countered, exasperated.“I don’t know if

“I’m sure Christopher will be wearing a tie,” Briana countered, straightening up.“But this isn't anything terribly formal or romantic,” Mark argued. “It's their first time meeting.”“It might be a good idea to check with Regis about one of the guest rooms just in case they want to ‘get to know’ each other more,” Briana said with a mischievous look.Mark laughed heartily. “Come on, no one should turn our sacred home into a motel.”Briana sat down at her vanity, giving him a look that clearly communicated: How do I explain things to my oblivious hubby?******At the Sweet Aroma Café, Karl and Luana were finishing their coffee and muffins after work. Around them, customers were paying their bills and leaving as the café was preparing to close.“Another bomb that, thankfully, didn’t explode this time,” Luana observed.“I wanted so badly to go back to our apartment,” Karl said, his expression somber. “But now...”“What is it, my love?” Luana raised her eyebrows.Karl took both of Luana’s

Christopher held up his phone screen for Sandro and Gilson to see, and both men responded with approving nods. Althea sat in her regal armchair, attended by Dalila.Gilson, however, struggled to suppress a wince of pain in his back, a consequence of spending the afternoon entangled with Celia in her less-than-comfortable car.“My congratulations, son!” Gilson managed, attempting to look composed. “Miss D’Arveil is a wonderful girl.”“So, I have everyone’s approval?” Christopher asked, looking around.“Why wouldn’t you?” Dalila replied simply.“It seems my mother has some objection.”Althea scowled. Always Claudia!“Chris, don't listen to your problematic mother,” Althea commanded. “You need to marry and continue the family lineage.”“We’ll see if Miss D’Arveil agrees to that,” Christopher said, his voice hopeful.Gilson chuckled and then joked, “When she sees you without a shirt, she’ll want to bear ten children for you, big man!”The men erupted in a roar of laughter, typical masculi

Katrina was in her office, still fuming about the lack of information regarding Briana's baby room. Patricio tried in vain to soothe her.“Honey, please be reasonable,” he pleaded.“There’s nothing to be reasonable about,” she shot back. “We need to know who won the bet, NOW!”“What bet? Briana never agreed to anything.” Patricio sighed.Katrina offered a delusional smile. “She knows she’s going to lose, which is why she never confirmed. But the bet was launched whether she wants to admit it or not.”Patricio tried a solution. “Why don’t you just convince yourself that our baby’s room is the best?”“Because I can’t live in delusion!”Patricio raised an eyebrow. Was not this very desperation to win against Briana a delusion in itself?Christopher walked in at that moment, clearly not happy to see his future brother-in-law.“Any legal matters, Lawyer Nogueira?” Christopher asked, his voice chilly.Patricio, annoyed by the formality, replied through gritted teeth. “You know very well I’m

Gilson shook his head, closing his eyes, momentarily disgusted. But he still didn’t release Celia; his hand seemed super-glued to her arm.With his left hand, he reached into his suit pocket and pulled out a handkerchief, wiping his face. He stared back at Celia, a cruel smile spreading across his lips.The proximity of the two seemed to calm Celia. Out of nowhere, she leaned in further and kissed Gilson with a desperate, all-consuming passion.Gilson didn’t waste a moment — after all, this was exactly what he wanted.******While Gilson and Celia began another marathon of love, in Rodolfo’s apartment, Claudia was ending hers.Poor Rodolfo lay triturated and mercilessly violated by the older woman. Not only his feet but his hands were also handcuffed.Rodolfo had failed to provide Addie Coleman’s phone number, and Claudia had punished him with a wild, insane session that left him completely spent.When the bed finally stopped rocking, Claudia climbed off her lover, smiling and satiate

“Don’t talk as if my marriage to James was some gift from the heavens,” Katrina snapped, her voice rising. “You never liked him yourself.”Christopher’s gaze hardened. “No, I knew he was no good when he cheated on you during your honeymoon! But you insisted on marrying him just to compete with Briana.”As always when cornered, Katrina instantly changed the subject. “Speaking of which, can you send me pictures of Briana’s baby room?”Christopher shot his sister a look of severe disapproval, but before he could respond, his cell phone rang.He picked it up, glancing at the screen.“It’s Mark,” he murmured, then answered the call. “Hello?”“Don’t answer the phone at the table,” Katrina hissed across the pristine linen. “That’s what New Yorkers do.”******In the parking lot outside Glamour, Mark stood beside his Lamborghini Urus. He was about to head inside but decided to deliver the news first.“Chris, I have good news for you.”“I’m in the mood for good news.” Christopher smiled.“Elar
