Chapter 1515 Green Light
Lunch at the Borges house was in full swing. Cindy was dining with them, still dressed in her professional suit as she planned to head back to Urbano after a quick nap. Vanda and Hélio had already filled her in on the morning’s chaos, and she was in full-on journalism mode.“We can’t just let this slide, everyone,” Cindy said firmly. “I need to write an article about this.”“You should probably check with Sergeant Carvalho first,” Jackson advised. He then offered a bright smile and raised his glass of orange juice. “In the meantime, I have some news that might actually cheer us up.”Vanda chuckled softly. “I knew you had something up your sleeve.”“I do. Mom, Benny wants to take your book to LCN.”Cindy, who understood what that mean, inhaled sharply and practically let her jaw hit the floor.Vanda, on the other hand, went catatonic again, her mind still racing to grasp what such a move would truly mean for her career.Hélio, simply deducing from the reactions that this was a good thi
Chapter 1514 A Promisse on the Podcast
In the podcast studio, Jorge was wrapping up his interview with Vanda. He could tell she wasn’t quite in her element today, her mind seemed a thousand miles away.He didn’t want to push her; he sensed some domestic trouble she wasn’t ready to air out for the listeners. Instead, he kept the focus strictly on the book.Benny hadn’t realized that Jorge would be the prepared host, as he had already tracked down the same metrics. With a triumphant grin, Jorge slid several printed sheets across the table to a stunned Vanda.“These are the current numbers,” Jorge announced. “Golden Letters did us the favor of translating your book into English, and the initial sales are already rolling in.”Vanda sat in a hypnotic silence, her eyes glued to the figures — specifically the sales listed in dollars.Behind the cameras, Bella let out a laugh and snapped her fingers just loud enough to snap Vanda out of her trance.“Oops! Sorry,” Vanda joked, finally finding her voice. “But these numbers are more
Chapter 1513 Her Novel on TV
Jackson entered the office at Blumberg Appliances slowly, checking to see if Benny was busy.Benny was standing by the massive windows, seemingly mesmerized by the urban landscape outside. Jackson tapped lightly on the doorframe.“May I come in?”Benny spun around, his face lighting up like a dog seeing its owner. “Yes, Jackson! Come in, sit down.”As Jackson closed the door and approached the desk, Benny’s eyes dropped to Jackson’s short-sleeved dress shirt. He immediately spotted the bandages on his arm.“Jackson, what on earth happened?”“It’s a long story,” Jackson replied as they both took their seats.“I have plenty of time for a good story.”Jackson took a breath, looking slightly apprehensive. “I was at Matthew’s beach house, where Walter Andrade and his girlfriend are staying, and some gunmen opened fire on the place.”Benny looked absolutely floored. “WHAT? How is that even possible? Why?”“It seems like a hit,” Jackson explained. “You saw at the Sterling gala how much Walte
Chapter 1512 The Sergeant of the Famous
The atmosphere inside the beach house was anything but inviting. Far from the relaxing, paradisiacal retreat it was meant to be, the living room now looked like a genuine war zone.Walter was busy wedging a jagged piece of cardboard into the window frame, a desperate attempt to regain some semblance of privacy until he could arrange for a professional repair.Nearby, Linda was sweeping up piles of glinting glass shards. She carefully set aside the wooden frame of the coffee table, hoping to salvage it later. Her head remained bowed, her face a mask of silent, heavy contemplation, dwelling on a hurt that ran much deeper than the property damage.“There,” Walter muttered, stepping back from the window. “That should hold us for now...”He turned toward Linda and immediately caught the look in her eyes. “What’s wrong, honey?”“I think you already know the answer to that,” she replied, her voice thick with unshed tears.Walter crossed the room in two strides, took the broom from her hands,
Chapter 1511 The Beach House Turned to Swiss Cheese
The peace of the morning was shattered instantly as the window panes exploded inward.It became terrifyingly clear: the beach house was under fire.Walter’s reflexes were lightning-fast; he threw himself off the sofa, reaching out with his right hand to snag Jackson by his running shorts and yank him down.Jackson was already diving for the floor, and their movements synchronized in a desperate, frantic scramble for cover.The gunfire continued: merciless, rhythmic, and deafening. It didn’t sound like a common street exchange; it was the heavy, rapid-fire chatter of a submachine gun, or perhaps multiple shooters firing in unison.It was a calculated execution of a house.“I think that’s enough,” a voice shouted from outside, muffled by the ringing in their ears. “Let’s get outta here!”Then, a heavy, suffocating silence took hold. Walter and Jackson remained pressed against the floor, neither of them feeling particularly safe enough to move just yet.The door to the second bedroom cre
Chapter 1510 A Trendsetting Wednesday
Wednesday dawned over Blue Cove, contrasting to the previous gray days. The sun was out in full force.Inside the Borges house, Jackson sat at his computer desk, dressed down in sweatpants and a tank top. He was engrossed in an article about ‘Tropical Romance’.“A bizarre phenomenon is sweeping the nation. Several married men have gone missing for days at a time. When they finally reappear, they explain in a mix of embarrassment and pleasant surprise that they were kept handcuffed to their beds by their wives after the women read Vanda Borges’s spicy new romance. At the time of this writing, several husbands are still reported missing...”Jackson couldn’t help but smirk. His mother wasn’t just writing books; she was rewriting the rules of the bedroom.“That’s my mom,” he muttered to himself. “Always dictating the trends.”Cindy emerged from the bathroom, wrapped in a plush white robe and drying her hair with a towel.“What did your mother do now?” she asked, noticing his grin.“She’s
