Chapter 1012 Elaine Gets Jealous and Horny at the Same Time
The humor drained from Matthew’s face. His patience was thinning — classic Elaine, reverting to her anxious, paranoid ways.“Elaine, I invited you to come with me. You didn’t want to.”“I didn’t know that Patty the Harlot was going to be there too.”“Elaine!” Matthew sighed. “For your information, I’m hiding in my hotel room, waiting for the shoot to finish. They’re not even staying at the same hotel.”Elaine paused in her frantic pacing, finally feeling a little lightheaded. She stopped and sat, composing herself.“Okay... you’re calming me down a bit.”“Can you just trust me? Patricia’s with Ron.”“Oh?” she probed slyly. “How are they doing?”“They’re more in love than ever. I bet they screwed like rabbits all night.”“Ah, how sweet,” Elaine replied sarcastically. “At least that keeps her too busy to steal you.”“She doesn’t know I’m here.”“Well... thanks for being honest.”“Bye now,” Matthew said, ending the call with a half-smile and a shake of his head.When would Elaine finally
Chapter 1011 Patricia Must Reunite with Matthew
Karl faced Vanda in the foyer of the Borges House. The warm familiarity they once shared was gone. No longer disguised as “Lawrence Vieira,” Karl no longer received the open smiles and trust he once did. Instead, there was caution — and a touch of coldness.“Hello, Mr. Sterling,” Vanda greeted him, formally.“Oh, come on, Vanda,” Karl replied, gesturing casually. “Keep calling me your literary agent and friend.”“You’re not going to be my literary agent anymore, from what I understand.”“That’s true,” Karl acknowledged. “But I’ll still be your friend. Yours and Hélio’s.”From the dining room, Hélio appeared, dabbing his lips with a cloth napkin. His expression was unreadable.“Well, Karl,” he said icily, “we need to clear some things up if we’re going to preserve that friendship.”Karl stiffened slightly at the chilly tone, surprised by how quickly these friends had become strangers.“Sheila came here yesterday,” Vanda said. “She told us you’re trying to orchestrate a reunion between
Chapter 1010 Don’t Hide from Patricia
Inside Jackson’s tent, the star of the day stood in front of a full-length mirror, dressed casually in a beach shirt, linen shorts, and genuine leather sandals — not the imitation kind. He shifted into various poses, examining his angles with the practiced eye of a seasoned model.“I know, I look ridiculous,” he said, catching a glimpse of Cindy and Patricia entering behind him, both giggling.“We’re not laughing at you,” Cindy replied, still chuckling. “We’re laughing at those poor delusional fans who think they have a shot with you.”“You better watch your back,” Patricia teased. “Those girls are already jealous of the other models. If they learn you’re dating Cindy, they’ll murder her.”Jackson spun around on his heels like a giddy teenager, grinning. “Wait — there’ll be female models too?”Cindy instantly stopped laughing and crossed her arms, pouting like a sulking child. Patricia, however, burst into louder laughter.“Kidding,” Jackson said, raising his hands in mock surrender.
Chapter 1009 Beach Photoshoot
In the dark morning silence of an elegant hotel room, a cellphone alarm chirped to life.The screen, glowing in the surrounding darkness, read 7:00 AM. A groggy groan escaped from somewhere — Matthew. A finger tapped the phone, silencing the alarm.Moments later, his silhouette appeared, already awake, walking to the window. He drew the curtains open, and sunlight poured into the room, revealing Matthew in all his naked glory, save for the fortuitous placement of the balcony railing that shielded him from public view below. Standing there with a smirk and squinting against the brightness, he took in the vista before him.From Matthew’s point of view, the beach bustled below. It was Saturday, and the locals were already flocking to the shore to make the most of the sunny day.Just off to one side, he noticed a group assembling equipment in the sand — a team preparing for a photoshoot. Bright fabrics and reflectors revealed it was for Fio de Seda, the brand Jackson would be modeling for
Chapter 1008 Matthew Finds Out the Group
The waves of Praia Grande beach danced with a rhythm of passion and romance as Ronaldo and Patricia frolicked in the surf. They laughed, splashed, and played like friends and lovers, sometimes stealing kisses between attempts to keep their balance against the rolling tide. When the waves got the best of them, their laughter rang out louder, unrestrained and joyful.Up on the sand, Jackson and Cindy lounged in beach chairs, taking in the idyllic scenery. One of the employees from the "Fio de Seda" brand stood beside them, engaged in a professional but friendly conversation with Jackson about the next day's photoshoot.“We were thinking of getting a few shots of you walking on the beach in our summer wear,” Joseph said. “And, of course, if your girlfriend doesn’t mind, we’d love a serious, sultry photo of you emerging from the sea in one of our swimsuits.”Jackson nodded with the practiced poise of someone used to this kind of request. “Of course. I’m used to that.”“I’m used to it too,
Chapter 1007 The Deal
The furious pounding on the door echoed through the disheveled living room of the Gouveia apartment. The place was in ruins — shattered flower vases, overturned furniture, a smashed television on the floor, and crooked paintings on the wall. It looked like a scene of a robbery, but the chaos had been caused by Vicente himself, who had spiraled into a destructive rage, unable to accept defeat.Vicente emerged from his bedroom looking utterly disheveled. He wore only boxer shorts and an open robe, his face unshaven, exuding the pitiful air of a man who had spent the night wallowing in self-pity and booze.He swung the door open without even glancing properly at who was on the other side and shuffled back inside.“Come in already, damn it! I don’t want the neighbors seeing you,” he snapped.Andreia stepped in with Karl right behind her, unimpressed by Vicente’s theatrics.“What neighbors?” she asked coldly. “Have you even bothered to meet anyone in this building?”“According to Nathan,”
Chapter 1006 Playing Volleyball
Matthew walked along the sands of Praia Grande, the waves crashing with strength against the coast. At first, he harbored doubts about the color of the water — it looked murky, almost dirty — but then he realized it was simply the natural hue, caused by the sand and the sea floor's composition. The beach wasn’t a hotspot for tourists; rather, it was a quiet, seaside neighborhood dotted with summer houses and small inns. Yet not far from him, groups of beachgoers played and splashed in the water without hesitation, offering an unspoken assurance of its safety.He was dressed appropriately for the occasion: an open beach shirt, tropical shorts, sandals, and a pair of stylish sunglasses. His skin was noticeably pale from the generous layer of sunscreen he’d applied — a sure sign that he wasn’t taking any risks under the sun.Moments earlier, his sleek navy-blue Lamborghini — a purchase from David Rocha — had glided into the parking lot of a more upscale hotel, one that matched Matthew’s
Chapter 1005 Praia Grande
That afternoon in Praia Grande, the scenery was nothing short of breathtaking. The secluded beachside neighborhood, tucked away from tourist crowds, exuded a serene, untouched charm. The sea pounded the shore with a steady rhythm, its waves tinged a curious brown by the mix of sand and sediment below—an earthy hue that might confuse first-time visitors into thinking the water was polluted, though it was anything but.Nestled right across the coastal avenue stood the modest five-story building where Jackson and his group would be staying. It wasn’t a high-end hotel, but that was precisely the point — it had heart. Styled more like a homely guesthouse, the building featured a rooftop pool and gourmet space, a covered parking lot, and, most importantly, quick access to the beach. Guests merely had to cross the street to feel the sand between their toes.Ronaldo’s car pulled into the parking lot and came to a stop in one of the covered spaces. Almost theatrically, all four doors opened at
Chapter 1004 No One’s Going to Tear Us Apart Again
Sheila, Vanda, and Hélio sat at the island counter in the bright, warmly lit kitchen of the Borges House, sharing a passion fruit pie topped with whipped cream. Hélio devoured his slice like a gleeful child, sneaking glances at the remaining portions as he attempted to snatch another helping. But Vanda had her eyes on him.“You seemed a little worried, Sheila,” Vanda said gently.“I’ve been thinking,” Sheila replied, her tone serious. “There’s something you two need to know.”“What happened?” Hélio asked, his mouth full.“Matt is traveling too,” Sheila said. “When I left the house, he was already packing.”“He’s going with Elaine? To clear his head?” Vanda asked, a note of hope in her voice.Sheila’s body tensed. “Elaine strongly refused to go.”The awkwardness hit immediately. Vanda and Hélio swallowed their last bites as if they’d turned to styrofoam.“Why am I getting a bad feeling about this?” Hélio muttered.“I heard Jackson mention the photoshoot is happening in Praia Grande,” S
