The next morning dawned over Braspolis with a soft glow, the aerial view of the city bathed in golden light. The day promised a mix of tranquility and tension, a contrast that echoed in the lives of its inhabitants.

Mark and Briana lay nestled together in the comfort of their bed. The silence of the room was abruptly interrupted by the simultaneous blaring of their phone alarms, making any attempt to continue sleeping impossible.

Briana groaned. “Wow, who can sleep with this going on?”

Mark chuckled softly. “No one. That’s the point.”

Reluctantly, Mark reached over to silence his alarm while Briana did the same on her side.

With a resigned sigh, she swung her legs over the edge of the bed and slipped her feet into her slippers.

“I wonder how things are with my family right now,” she murmured, her gaze distant.

Mark, still searching for his boxers, glanced at her. “You’re dying to find out, aren’t you? Why don’t you just go over there?”

Briana turned to face him, catching the implicati

    While checking the email on his computer, he answered Luana evasively, “That’s an interesting theory, friend.”“Oh, cut it out!” Luana huffed, impatient with games and riddles. “Didn’t you see how Mary Ellen rushed back to the editorial room with just six cookies and a mug of strong black coffee?”“Have you become her nutritionist?” Mark asked ironically, eyes fixed on the monitor.“No, but it’s pretty obvious she’s going to make the most of the gossip you fed her.” Luana rubbed her neck, feeling her worry grow. “Poor Brie. My best friend can’t get a single moment of peace!”Mark’s gaze unintentionally fell on Karl’s computer, and he remembered the forbidden photos his partner had of Celia = obviously hidden from Luana’s knowledge.When Mark took a deep breath, considering whether to open the eyes of his wife’s best friend, the door opened and Karl walked in.Karl’s eyes were gleaming with lust, fresh from the ‘Times of Glory’ studios.“What’s up, honey?” Luana asked, unsuspecting.“J

  • Chapter 992 Checking on the Beloved Wife

    “What do you mean?” Claudia leaned back on the sofa. If she knew that Gilson and Celia had spent nights doing “overtime” on that very sofa, she would’ve jumped up in a flash. “Was what she did right?”“Woman, why did you bring up what Elara said as provocation? Wasn’t it to humiliate her?” Gilson frowned. “You deliberately provoked her, and now you’re acting like the victim when she fights back? If you don’t want to get slapped, treat people with respect!”Elara decided to speak up. “Mr. Vasconcelos, I only said certain things because your wife and daughter started disrespecting me for spending the night at the mansion.”Christopher complained, indignant. “Come on, Mom. When our family lawyer spent nights wrecking my little sister, did you make jokes and insult him too?”Claudia was caught in her contradiction and fell silent.Of course not. When it was Patricio and Katrina giving in to lust and carnal desires, Claudia had cheered and encouraged her daughter!Claudia’s awkward silence

  • Chapter 991 Black Feather Foundation

    Mark, back in his office, received an email from Susana Linz regarding the upcoming series that LCN planned to produce.Mark smiled as he reviewed the proposals, plots, summaries, and series bibles. Some even included the pilot episode script as an attachment so he could get a better understanding.He noticed that the series had been analyzed by someone he didn’t yet know: Jean D’Arveil.D’Arveil...That wasn’t a common last name. Any relation to Elara?Curious, Mark typed and sent an email to Susana asking about it.After sending the email, Mark remembered the search he’d been conducting on Elara and picked up his phone, about to dial Linda.But to his surprise, the phone rang first, and it was Linda calling.Amused by the coincidence, Mark answered immediately.“Hello, Linda. I was just about to call you. Can you believe it?”On the other end, in the Operations Center, Linda giggled. Mark sounded like her boyfriend.“Yes, I believe it. You have no reason to lie.”“And I really don’t

    “Fine, let’s drop it!” Karl shut down the topic when he saw it wasn’t going his way.Luana giggled, snatching the thermos back from him. “Don’t let your dad hear you, okay? He’ll think you’re just looking out for the actresses.”With her back to Karl while pouring herself some coffee, Luana didn’t see him widen his eyes, a clear sign of guilt or getting caught.But Mark saw it and shook his head in pity.Does Luana deserve to know the truth?“Mary Ellen was talking about that LCN article,” Luana commented, oblivious to the vibe in the room. “I think it’s crazy for someone to say these terrorists are actually separatists or rebels against the Government like what happened years ago.”“Oh, come on!” Karl mocked the idea too. “If that’s true, we’ll have to hide out at my parents’ house again, honey.”Mark just sighed, wondering if Luana and Karl might actually have to do that in the future.******At the Vasconcelos Company, Elara was walking down the hallways when she heard shrill yelli

  • Chapter 989 Karl’s Mixed-Up Priorities

    “But you know how Katrina is.” Gilson cleverly used his daughter as part of his scheme. “Katrina and Celia are friends. Katrina promised to help. Now that she’s lost the baby, don’t you think we should do her this one small favor?”“You want to rehire Celia Soares just to cheer up my sister?” Christopher still looked suspicious.“Exactly!” Gilson smiled like a snake. “That way, your sister won’t have anything to complain about, whining that we never help or support her in anything. What do you say?”Christopher, eyes still narrowed, tried to spot any hidden angle in the proposal.“Ah, Dad, I don’t know.” Christopher scratched the back of his neck. “If Mom and Elara accuse Celia of trying to seduce me... or YOU...”“That won’t happen, I swear!” Gilson was too quick to defend Celia. “Katrina will take direct responsibility. That way, she won’t have time to sleep with supervisors and directors around here, much less you.”Gilson cleverly left himself out of that sentence, because we alre

  • Chapter 988 We’re Not Going to Spread Fake News

    However, the situation was different now.If some media outlets started hyping up the population with claims that they were in the same boat, without proof or confirmation from Parliament, that’s when pointless panic would set in, making people worry over fake news.Neither Mark nor the Public Security Council had yet confirmed that the bombings were ordered by Drakov.All they had so far were photos of a black feather and some warnings.Something any teenager could reproduce thanks to today’s technology and artificial intelligence.Mary Ellen nodded. “You’re right, Mark. This kind of article will end up scaring the public. That’s why I plan to write a counterpiece, urging our readers to trust the authorities.”Mark smiled. “Exactly, Mary Ellen. Let’s be responsible with our audience. And tell Efraim to pass that guidance on to the entire editorial team. Any article hinting at civil war without solid evidence or government confirmation won’t be published. The last thing we want is Gla
