Willian - You know it's time, Benjamin.

Benjamin - Time for what, Dad? smiling

Willian - You know the rules, Benjamin, you know very well who we are and how we act, or do I need to explain it to you in a not-so-pleasant tone?

Luiza, Benjamin's mother - Calm down!

William - Tell this kid, our son, who dares to drag our last name through the mud...

And look at this! throwing several newspapers and magazines on the meeting table What will our partners think of all this?

They were reports in which Benjamin appeared with several women, models, actresses, professionals from various fields, all of whom had beauty and physique in common.

Benjamin - Dad, they're just friends, and you know, you did a lot of this before you married Mom! Or didn't you? Or do you still?

Luiza - Benjamin!!!

William - Pay attention here, look at yesterday's, and tell me if you know what caused this!

Benjamin - I don't understand.

William - She was married!

Benjamin - Okay, I didn't know the wretch was married, it won't happen again.

William - If you want to f**k, we have several nightclubs with several sl**s you can f**k, Benjamin!

You're 33 years old and all you do is party??? You have to get married, and soon!

Benjamin - laughing Never, I like to play the field.

Willian - That wasn't a question, it was an order.

Benjamin - Are you going to disinherit me?

William - If you prefer.

Luiza - That's enough!!! You calm down, William, and you, Benjamin, don't make me repeat myself!

You are 33 years old, all you do is party since....always!!! You're lucky you're good with numbers and people, and our company is doing very, very well. But what you have in maturity at work, you lack in your personal life, and as you know, our company is very traditional, and because it was founded by your great-grandfather, it has some rules. To be president, one of them is to be married!

Benjamin - I don't want to be president, Dad, you can do it.

William - No! I'm tired, I haven't taken a long vacation with your mother in over 13 years, and also...

He stammers

Benjamin - What, Dad?

William - I'm very stressed, and I almost had a heart attack yesterday, I need a break, son. You always knew we have several businesses and you know about the casinos, we're not mobsters, but we have some business with them, and they're charging me, saying the person in charge has to have a family, be married, you know how they are, and you know that besides Cassiano, they give us a lot, a lot of profit in the hotels, where we let some things slide, nothing too serious. As you know, we're not murderers nor do we do bad things, but we have partners.

Benjamin - Calm down! And if I agree, who am I going to marry? The women I date are not the marrying kind.

William - Your mother and I can help you find a wife.

Benjamin - And if I don't approve?

William - You need to be married for at least two years after taking over the company, then you get divorced, and that's it.

Benjamin - Okay, so I have a year left to enjoy myself.

William - You would, but I need to step away before then, you have 2 to 3 months at most.

Benjamin - I'm out.

Luiza - Where are you going?

Benjamin - Out, leave me alone, I need to breathe, think, this is too much to process.

William - I'm going too.

Luiza - Right, now you've done it.

William - I'm going to the Casino to see how things are, you can come if you want, you know you're always welcome. I hope our son has the luck we had in love because if there's anything good about me, it's only you, my love, only you!

Luiza and William kiss

Luiza was a woman of about 55 years old, but she didn't look her age, blonde, blue-eyed, beautiful, friendly, calm, intelligent, and could read people easily, let's say she had a very strong sixth sense.

William, cold, tall man, 6'1", serious, without many smiles, famous businessman, very powerful, and besides that, he had casinos and some questionable partnerships, but he was very fair and well-regarded by society, as was their last name. In love with Luiza, he believed in love.

Heitor - Friend, advisor, and cousin of Benjamin, 6'1", brown eyes, strong blonde, muscular, intelligent, cautious, playful.

Ravi, friend and advisor, 6', brown, green eyes, black hair, strong, quick with people, and with a face that scares most but actually very nice and playful.

Benjamin - 6'2", muscular, very strong and imposing, handsome, brown hair and eyes, extremely rich, intelligent, clever, quick, and ruthless in business, black belt in several fighting modalities, womanizer, and self-centered.

Women would do anything to be with them, especially with Benjamin, even more so because of his last name and power, not to mention his beauty and charm. However, he doesn't date, just one-night stands, two at most; he has a lot of exes for this reason. He doesn't want anything serious when it comes to love.

Benjamin is passionate about cars, loves his nephews and children, runs every morning, has a loyal four-legged friend, Brutus, that no one can touch but him. Extremely fierce, he obeys orders only and exclusively from Benjamin, having even attacked when asked, even his father is afraid of Brutus.

The three were inseparable and caused a lot of trouble in every way, but at work, they were very good, they didn't even look like the same crazy guys they were outside the company.
