Episode 10

She is very pretty, very decent, and has magnificent manners. It seems that her parents raised her well, but on the other hand, she is a very arrogant girl and I will have to reprimand her.

Santiago: Isabel, where are you?

Isabel: I'm taking a shower, do I also need to ask for your permission for that?

I want to hear the way she responds, it infuriates me. It seems that this girl has the gift of quickly making me angry.

Santiago: Well, I want you to hurry up. In an hour, we will go to your father's house and then to my father's house.

Isabel: And I suppose the charade continues, right? We have to pretend as if we are really a couple, how silly and pathetic. Hey, can I ask you a question?

Santiago: Of course, tell me.

Isabel: If you had so many women, why didn't you marry any of them? I'm sure they would have accepted immediately, and you would have someone to entertain yourself with every night, so you wouldn't have had to escape on our honeymoon like you did.

Santiago: Are you jealous that I took another woman to my bed while having you? (he said while laughing)

Isabel: Not at all. The only man I felt jealous about, I lost him forever. Of course, you must know this because I married you, that's how I lost him. I'm just saying it because it's the truth. You could have married any of those women, but why did it have to be me?

Santiago: Well, since we are talking as friends, I'll tell you. The simple reason is that the women who come to my bed are only there for one thing, to sleep with me. But you are different. You come from a good family, you have good manners, you are educated, and to tell the truth, anyone would want to have you as a wife, except for me, of course. I don't believe in the nonsense of marriage. I only married you to have complete control over my family's businesses. Besides that, I did your father a favor. He was on the verge of bankruptcy, and with the injection of my capital, he quickly recovered.

Isabel: I know perfectly well why I married you. It was only for business, and now we are stuck together for two long years. I will try to make our relationship better. Let's make a truce and be friends, at least for these two years. They will be very long and even more bothersome if we keep fighting. Come on, I don't want you to forbid me anything, and even if you do, I won't listen to you, and you know it.

Santiago: Okay, I will allow you to continue studying. However, you should know that my driver will take you to and from school every day, and whenever you go out, you will always have a bodyguard who will inform me of all your movements.

Isabel: Why are you so insecure? Do you think I would cheat on you?

Santiago: I don't know. I've lived for so long, I've seen so many women cheat on their husbands with me that it wouldn't surprise me at all. Trust me, it's not because of jealousy. I just don't want to be made a fool of in front of my friends.

After this long conversation we had, we reached an agreement. Well, although I would always have to have a bodyguard behind me, I didn't mind because, at least, I could continue studying and go out whenever I wanted.
