last update2024-11-10 21:54:32

In Briana and Luana’s new office, Luana decides to confide in her boyfriend about what she discovered regarding her best friend’s marriage.

“Karl, what I’m about to tell you is strictly confidential,” Luana asks. “I found out how Mark and Brie decided to get married. Everything is shown in that video.”

“They wanted to play that video instead of the teasers?” Karl raised his eyebrows.

“That’s right,” Luana shook her head. “The video shows Mark carrying Briana in his arms outside in the parking lot. He takes her to Briana’s old car. It looked like Brie was feeling sick. But instead of taking her to the hospital... the car started shaking.”

Karl feels an embarrassing heat wash over him.

“Wait, Luana, are you suggesting that—”

“I don’t know what to think,” Luana’s voice trembles. “Did Mark take advantage of the situation with Briana? Remember, dear: Briana never wanted to tell us how she and Mark met. Sometimes she reacted with fear.”

“That fear would be of Mark? That doesn’t seem

    “Karl, leave me alone with my friend,” Luana said solemnly. Karl nodded and stepped out. Briana went to her desk and placed her bag on the surface, not understanding what was happening. “Look at these beautiful desks they left for us, my friend…” “Brie!” Luana didn’t smile, looking at Briana with a look of pity. Briana felt her heart race, sensing that her best friend was about to announce a tragedy. “Brie, I know you’ve always tried to avoid this topic. It must have been painful for you,” Luana positioned herself toward the door. “But it’s time we talked about when you and Mark—” Luana’s move was clever. Briana instantly wanted to run out of the office, but Luana grabbed her, blocking her escape and pushing her back near the desk. “Let me go, Luana, LET ME GO!” “I already know the whole truth, Briana!” “NNOOOO!!!” Briana tried to escape the office two more times, feeling suffocated. Luana, with uncommon strength, wouldn’t let her best friend escape this time. “Karl must b

    Ray and Alanna exchange glances, and the camera captures the moment as if it were something forbidden to say.“Well, everyone is going to find out, right, Alanna?” Ray asked playfully.“It’s going to appear in the opening or closing credits of every episode.” Alanna shrugs. “Yeah, we’re under the jurisdiction of Vasconcelos Company.”Lisandro nodded. “What do you think of this arrangement? I’ve heard various actors are competing for a spot to work with Glamour.”Ray let out a hearty laugh and leaned back on the sofa, trying to project an air of relaxation. “Nah, we’re cool. When Sandro Vasconcelos approached us with this opportunity, we didn’t think much about it. We received the pilot episode, liked what we read, and quickly contacted our agent.”Alanna nodded in agreement. “That’s right. Mr. Sandro Vasconcelos was very kind to us.”Lisandro threw more fuel onto the fire. “By ‘Sandro Vasconcelos,’ are you referring to the older brother, the father of Briana Vasconcelos, who is workin

    Meanwhile, Luana and Briana were finally clearing up what happened the day she met Mark.Briana felt something explode inside her upon learning that she almost got exposed at the party held at Braz Social Club.“GIRL!” Briana exclaimed, “We need to investigate this thoroughly! We can’t let a bomb like this explode out of nowhere, not with Mark being protective of me and hating Adrian Curtis.”Luana smiled indifferently. “What’s the problem? Mark can easily fire Adrian. That would complete the purge.”Briana shook her head. “No, Luana, we’re talking about a secret in my life that was nearly exposed. Why exactly would Adrian take on something like this?”“Do you believe he had a sore throat right on the day of the party?” Luana crossed her arms, dissatisfied with the possibility of Briana exonerating the idiot.But to her relief, Briana shook her head. “No. Knowing the creature, I know he would be capable of that.”“Do you want to go back to Braz Social Club to investigate this more clo

    Mark was heading out to the parking lot towards his Lamborghini. When he looked at the car, his gaze fell on the famous parking space where he and Briana had their first romantic encounter. Suspicious, Mark looked up, searching for surveillance cameras. “Did Adrian manage to get a recording from that day and try to show it at the party, pretending to have a sore throat to escape accusations?” Mark took out his phone and dialed Linda’s number. “Yes, Lord Ferro?” “Send someone to follow Adrian. If he happens to go to Red Light and talk to his father, keep me informed,” Mark ordered curtly. “Understood, Lord Ferro.” “Also, check what happened at the party that my wife and Luana Barros hosted yesterday. They were supposed to showcase some teasers for the series we’re filming, but the audio-visual team at Braz Social Club refused and almost caused a scene.” Mark grabbed the car key with his free hand. “That’s strange, Lord Ferro. We’ll look into that as well, don’t worry,” Linda as

    “I came to say thank you for helping me, Mark,” Sandro commented after breaking the silence. “I could see you kept your promise by having both artists reveal who mediated the hiring. I just worry if this isn’t giving publicity to my niece’s series.” “In a way, it is. But Brie isn’t exasperated about it,” Mark smiled and crossed his legs. “Have you seen the teasers we released on social media? They’re blowing up with comments and shares.” “Yes, I thought they were very well produced. However, weren’t those videos supposed to be shown at the party she threw?” Sandro frowned. Mark cleared his throat. “Ahem… There was a technical problem. The audio and video team claimed they received a different video and refused to show it.” Mark’s phone buzzed with a message notification. “Excuse me, Sandro.” Mark checked his phone. He smiled upon reading: ‘Adrian Curtis is at Red Light.’ “Any good news?” Sandro asked. “Yes, excellent news,” Mark replied enigmatically. ****** Red Light, as ev

    Briana returns to Ferro House. This time, Regis was present and ready to welcome her. He reaches out to take her coat and handbag. “Good evening, Mrs. Ferro. How was your workday?” “It was excellent, Regis, thank you very much. Is Mr. Ferro here?” “Yes, he’s with your father in the living room,” Regis replied promptly. Briana was surprised by the response. Her father had become a regular visitor, with Mark’s approval. “Thank you. And what about dinner?” “Julian is preparing fried calamari,” Regis said with a wide smile, thinking about enjoying that delicacy as well. Briana laughed and headed to the living room. Fried calamari is a treat. Upon entering the living room, she was surprised to see her father-in-law and husband engaging in lively conversation. “Wow, I could get used to this harmonious scene. Hello, Dad.” “HI, sweetheart!” Sandro stood up and kissed his daughter’s left cheek. Briana looked at Mark and couldn’t help but feel a strange sensation... knowing that Lua

    Gilson and Claudia were determined to maintain their status as the favorites in the Vasconcelos Mansion at all costs. Claudia sat beside her husband and softened her voice. “Althea, you can’t be serious.” “Are you questioning my sanity?” Althea’s eyebrows dangerously rose. “I didn’t say that.” Claudia hurried to correct herself. “I’m questioning the loyalty you have to my husband and my children. You need to keep supporting Chris’s and Katrina’s accomplishments.” “Who said I intend to stop doing that?” Althea shook her head. “I’m just realizing that my son Sandro is getting his life in order, becoming someone capable of bringing joy and profits to the Vasconcelos family.” Gilson panicked. “Mom, even if that happens, you can’t give credit to Sandro! You need to continue valuing me, only me, as your prodigal and favorite son! I’m the one leading the Vasconcelos family to glory!” Althea found all of this confusing. “I need to go to my room.

    Katrina was horrified when James yelled at her to be quiet while she needed to communicate with her husband. “What the hell does that mean?” she asked, slowly getting up. James, frustrated with everything going wrong, shook his head. “I’m sorry, dear. I’m stressed about a lot of things.” “And I’m the perfect punching bag, is that it?” Katrina yelled indignantly. “No, forgive me.” James tried to hug Katrina, but she sidestepped him, pulling away. “No, today there will be no ‘fun.’ Go get dressed; dinner is about to be served. Briana’s teasers are trending on the Internet, and we haven’t done anything for our followers. No one is going to watch my show, and it’ll be your fault!” James was horrified, his jaw dropping for a few seconds. “Huh? Why would it be MY fault?” “Because I’m not seeing you doing anything productive to help me!” Katrina complained. “Nothing was done while I was bedridden. On the contrary, you let Vivian Leite and other actors slip through our fingers, going t

    Sandro realized too late the blunder he'd made.“Uh... I'm sorry... There are just so many assistants who sleep with my older brother, trying to get pregnant so they can live off child support...”Celia shot back, sharp as a blade. “But he doesn’t get anyone pregnant because he doesn’t do it the ‘normal’ way, right? He’s devilishly clever, and he knows it!”Sandro, shaken but still trying to make sense of things, asked, “But if you didn’t want it with him, why didn’t you ever call the police?”Celia opened her mouth to answer — but the words caught in her throat.The truth was complicated. She hadn’t reported Gilson because he wasn’t the only man she’d slept with. The others had been different, relationships she had planned, consented to.She quickly changed the subject.“Uh... hey, didn’t you want to talk to your daughter? Be my guest!”Without waiting for a reply, she stormed out of the office, slamming the door behind her. Sandro shook his head, frustrated and confused.“I thought

    Mark tilted his head slightly, watching the secretary with mild amusement.“You don’t seem to like Miss Vasconcelos very much,” he remarked.Miss Gonçalves huffed, clearly holding nothing back. “She acts all superior just because she landed a single contract. That’s all.”Mark nodded thoughtfully. “The Vasconcelos Company isn’t exactly thriving. How did your boss justify giving them a loan?”“Oh, no!” Miss Gonçalves lowered her voice dramatically. “It wasn’t just a loan. Mr. Sodré is sponsoring that phony company! I even deleted their app off my phone and installed Glamour’s instead.” Her eyes lit up. “Hey, is it true we’re getting a sitcom with Ray Dixon?”He smiled with a touch of pity. She was clearly a fangirl.“It’s true,” he confirmed.“I can’t wait to watch it!” she said, then quickly straightened up, remembering her place. “Ah — were you here to speak with Mr. Sodré?”Suppressing a chuckle, Mark nodded.Miss Gonçalves turned slightly, about to offer guidance, when the office d

    The bed in Karl and Luana’s bedroom looked crooked, but neither of them seemed to care. After all, the instability of the furniture was the least of their concerns. Though the heat of their earlier activity had only just subsided, both lay beneath the covers from the shoulders down, staring blankly at the ceiling, lost in thoughts that were intrusive but necessary.“We need a lawyer,” Karl said, breaking the silence.“Who’s going to defend us?” Luana asked, her voice laced with worry.“There’s always someone willing to do it. Maybe some fresh graduate.”Luana pursed her lips. “I don’t want a rookie defending me.”“That’s assuming we have a reason to need one,” Karl replied.With effort, Luana turned toward him, wincing in pain as she moved. “Do you think we’ll get out of this lawsuit?”“Yes,” Karl said, his voice suddenly firm. “All you have to do is apologize to Mary Ellen and stop acting like I want to sleep with Luana.”“That’s not funny!”She lifted a hand to push his shoulder, bu

    Moved, Briana stepped closer. Celia quickly brought her fingers to her eyes in a faux gesture of wiping away tears. The illusion worked — Briana believed she was catching Celia in a private, vulnerable moment.“There’s no shame in crying,” Briana said softly.“I just think I need to keep it professional,” Celia answered, resuming her composed tone. “I’m here to work. I should head to the Times of Glory set.”Then Briana had a sudden thought. “Oh! Celia... Do you, by any chance, have a special interest in Jake Brett?”Celia raised her eyebrows, surprised that her bait had worked faster than she’d expected.“Any particular reason you’re asking?” she said with feigned innocence.“N-no, not really,” Briana stammered. “Just... you were so quick to mention being in his dressing room — working, of course!”Celia’s lips curled into a teasing smirk. “Yes, I was working. But when I walked in, he was completely naked.”At that exact moment, the office door swung open — and Sandro stepped in just

    Frank’s voice broke the silence. “I think they wanted to punish her for marrying you.”Mark let out a sigh of frustration. “That only proves how unprofessional they are. A brilliant series being sacrificed because of petty family drama — something the audience has no part in.”“Well,” Frank said with a note of urgency, “that just means we need to give everything we’ve got to the new series we’re producing at the Pratt Entertainment studios.”Mark allowed himself a small smile, a memory surfacing. “By the way... is your son aware we’ve hired Ray Dixon?”Frank immediately began to sweat. He tugged at the collar of his blue shirt.“Er... What did my son do this time?”“Nothing... yet,” Mark said. “But he’s convinced Ray Dixon is trying to seduce my wife. You think that’s possible?”Frank’s nerves

    That morning at the Vasconcelos mansion, the dining room retained a heavy, almost ceremonial silence, as the elders finished their breakfast.The atmosphere was thick, brittle — until Katrina entered in a brisk stride, interrupting the tension with her voice.“Why is everyone eating in this funereal silence?” she asked, puzzled by the somber mood.Althea, ever the opportunist when it came to timing, seized the moment. “Katrina, I was informed that you secured a sponsor for our company. Congratulations.”Katrina beamed modestly and took her seat. As she settled in, her gaze swept the table.Gilson and Claudia exchanged satisfied smiles, while Sandro and Nadir wore sour expressions that couldn’t have been more obvious.“What’s the matter, uncle and aunt?” Katrina teased. “Didn’t you two have a ‘wonderful’ and ‘exciting’ day yesterday?”&ldquo

  • Chapter 522 Congratulations, Katrina

    Early in the morning, within the elegant Vasconcelos Mansion, Gilson and Claudia strolled into the dining room hand in hand, laughing like teenagers reliving the innocence of their courtship days. But as they entered the room, their cheerful expressions gave way to surprise.There, seated at the table, were Sandro and Nadir — very much alive and present. Sandro looked utterly spent, with heavy bags under his eyes and a posture that screamed exhaustion. Clearly, the past twenty-four hours had been physically intense for him.Nadir, in sharp contrast, appeared radiant and unbothered — fully made up and calmly stirring sugar into her coffee.“Did you lose something?” Nadir asked indifferently, not even glancing up.Gilson dropped into a seat with a smirk. “Sandro did! What’s the matter, big bro? Can’t handle the heat anymore?”A sharp voice echoed from elsewhere in the house.“Who’s speaking obscenities again?” came Althea’s unmistakable tone.Gilson froze, silenced like a scolded pup.M

    The morning sky over Braspolis was mostly clear, promising a pleasant day without oppressive heat. As the sun began to climb, the elegant facade of the Ferro House stood quietly in the early light.Inside, in the dining room, Mark and Briana were having breakfast. Julian, wearing his chef’s coat but still visibly embarrassed about having gone swimming the day before, served the morning dishes with his head lowered and voice subdued.“Why are you sad today, Julian?” Briana asked gently.“Nothing, Mrs. Ferro,” Julian muttered, avoiding eye contact.Mark cast him a look that served as a silent command to leave, prompting Julian to retreat quickly from the room.Briana turned to her husband. “Do you have any idea what that was about?”Mark, cool as ever, replied, “The cook knows he’s not supposed to try seducing Mrs. Ferro.”Briana let out a loud “Pfff” and burst into laughter, momentarily forgetting her table manners.“When and how?” she asked between giggles.“Yesterday. At the pool. Yo

    Meanwhile, at the Dixon Penthouse, Ray Dixon lounged poolside, basking in the afternoon sun. Sunglasses shaded his eyes as he flipped through the script for his upcoming single-camera sitcom. The vibe was easygoing — until his phone buzzed.The screen lit up with the name GERENTE FERRO. Ray had deliberately saved the contact under that name, knowing that if anyone else happened to glimpse his screen, they wouldn’t read “LORD Ferro.” Better to be safe than scandalized.He answered coolly. “Hello?”Mark dragged out a chair and sat, phone pressed to his ear.“Hello,” he said smoothly. “How’s it going? Have they slandered you yet?”On the other end, Ray chuckled. “Nah. Linda’s boys probably have their asses glued to their seats, deleting every little rumor.”“I’m sure,” Mark replied, his tone calm but cautious. “Still, it never hurts to be prepared. Here’s what I suggest — get a statement ready. Something you can release if someone does manage to stir up a scandal.”“Got it,” Ray said. Th
