The door to Sandro’s suite opened quietly, and he stepped inside, followed closely by Althea and Dalila.“Hasn’t Nadir come back yet?” Althea asked, pausing by the door. “She said she was going to visit Briana.”Sandro frowned, running a hand through his hair. “Apparently, she’s staying the night there. But she didn’t reply to my message.”“That’s strange,” Dalila murmured, her brow creasing.“Do you think Mark might have told everyone to limit communication?” Althea suggested. “Maybe he’s afraid the calls could be traced.”“I don’t think that’s it,” Sandro said, shaking his head. “This time, the target was Karl Carvalho.”“So, someone connected to Briana,” Althea reasoned. “And the first car to explode was Mark’s.”Sandro reached out and wrapped his arms around his aging mother, holding her close with quiet affection. Dalila watched them, moved by the tenderness of the gesture.“Don’t worry, Mother,” he said softly. “Nothing will happen to Briana.”Althea’s eyes glistened. “God bless

At police headquarters, Lieutenant Ribeiro stood before a bank of cameras, his face drawn with exhaustion. He hadn’t even managed a shower before the press conference was called. Mary Ellen stood nearby, offering quiet moral support as reporters fired off questions.“Lieutenant,” one journalist called out, “when will the police arrest these extremists?”“We have several leads,” Ribeiro said, his voice firm despite his fatigue. “But I can’t share details that might compromise the investigation.”“Would you classify these attacks as terrorism?” another reporter pressed.“Absolutely,” Ribeiro said. “These criminals have gone far beyond the line!”Mary Ellen leaned forward. “What’s the situation at the residential complex?”“Unfortunately,” Ribeiro replied, “the apartments above the parking area were damaged. Civil Defense has evacuated the residents and is conducting inspections.”“And what about Karl Carvalho, the main target?” someone asked.“He’s safe,” Ribeiro said. “He’s staying wit

Later that evening, the dining room was warm and glowing, the tension softened by good food and wine. Mark and Briana, dressed casually, shared dinner with Karl and Luana, who were beginning to regain some color. Julian served them attentively, though his expression flickered with confusion.Where was the scandal he’d anticipated?“The room you recommended wasn’t where our things were,” Karl said between bites.Julian blinked. “Ah, I must’ve misunderstood. No problem. Anything else you need?”“No, Julian,” Mark said mildly. “You can go for a swim.”Luana almost choked on her drink. “Swim? Now?”Julian grinned, taking the permission at face value, and bowed before retreating. “Enjoy your meal, everyone.”“Mark,” Luana said, shaking her head, “you’re so generous with your servants.”“What’s wrong with that?” he replied, smiling. “They have lives of their own.”Karl chuckled. “Maybe we should join them in the pool tomorrow, right, darling?”“Tomorrow?” Luana repeated, incredulous. “Aren’

Julian moved swiftly along the hallway of Ferro House, slipping in and out of the guest rooms with growing impatience. He was on a very specific mission, one he found equal parts mischievous and righteous.“Let’s hope Regis is the one to stumble upon that shameless woman,” he muttered under his breath with irony.The plan forming in his mind was wickedly simple: to “suggest,” ever so innocently, that Regis assign Karl and Luana to the very guest room where Nadir was currently “devouring” the poor construction worker.The thought alone made Julian smirk with satisfaction.“Mrs. Vasconcelos has certainly taken a liking to the handyman’s… drill,” he whispered to himself, eyes gleaming with mischief.The prospect of catching Nadir in the act thrilled him: not only would it put an end to her relentless flirtations toward him, but it would also expose her true nature to the rest of the Vasconcelos clan. The humiliation alone would be worth it.As he reached the final door at the end of the

At the Ferro House, the night carried a heavy silence.The faint noise of the alarm system was the only sound as Regis and Everton crossed the front lawn.Everton paused by the garage, his eyes scanning the perimeter with the focus of a soldier on high alert.“Not tonight,” he muttered. “No one’s blowing up Lord or Lady Ferro’s car.”Regis sighed. “For heaven’s sake, Everton. Next time, don’t encourage Vargas to rush home to ‘satisfy’ his wife.”Everton smirked. “Why not? If Vargas doesn’t take care of her, someone else will. We wouldn’t want our friend turning into a cuckold, would we?”Their laughter died at once.A soft rustle — footsteps in the grass.They turned sharply, eyes alert, and Regis’s hand slipped beneath his jacket, fingers brushing the cold steel of his holstered gun...... But it was only Vargas, returning from his home.His face said everything: the smug, drowsy expression of a man who had just been thoroughly conquered by his exuberant wife.Everton grinned wickedl

They reached the underground parking lot, where the noise resumed: screeching tires, honking horns, engines revving in panic.Cars scraped against pillars as their owners fled in blind terror.No one paid attention to the vehicle half-hidden behind a dumpster, rocking back and forth as if caught in a storm.Through the windshield, a flash of movement revealed one of the company janitors: broad-shouldered, flushed, his shirt halfway unbuttoned, sweat glistening down his chest.He tried to sit up, breath ragged, eyes wide with alarm. But before he could escape, two manicured hands — Celia’s — seized his shoulders and pulled him back down with ravenous determination.The car began to shake harder, its rhythmic sway swallowed by the din of fleeing engines.******The streets of Braspolis were a blur of blue and red lights as the sun sank behind the skyline. The rhythmic whir of the Aurelia Military Police helicopter cut through the evening air, a sound that filled everyone below with a mi
