The Singer of the Bar

Episode 1

My name is Lola Hernandez, I am from Guadalajara, Mexico. Since I was fifteen years old, I became an orphan, the only child with no family. My parents were murdered on their ranch, and I witnessed their death. I couldn't report their murder to the authorities since the people who did it were influential and only wanted my parents' land after they declined to sell it. One night, two men dressed in black forcefully entered our home and first killed my father, and then my mother. I hid in my room, listening to everything, and they were looking for me because they couldn't leave any witnesses. I escaped through the window and ran, and ran, and ran until I reached a lonely highway. I walked so much that I don't know how I ended up at a bus station. I had fifty pesos in my pocket, saved from my own earnings. I got on the bus and headed towards Mexico City.

On the bus, tears began to flow. I left my dead parents' bodies behind and wondered how I would give them a proper Christian burial. If I returned, I could also be killed. It was an internal struggle, and I felt immense sadness. On the bus, a woman approached me…

STRANGER: Hello, girl. Is something happening? Why are you crying, such a pretty girl with a red face? Nice to meet you, I'm Martina...

ME: Hello, I'm Lola Hernandez. I'm sorry, I don't know you...

STRANGER: I know, sweetheart. I saw you crying, and that's why I approached you. Look, this is my phone. If you ever need something...

ME: Wait, I don't know this city. I just lost my parents and came in search of work...

STRANGER: Perfect, you're a very pretty girl. You could work at Willian's bar... hmmm... Girl, I'm looking for young people to work as models in California. How old are you?

ME: I'm fifteen, but I don't have a passport to go to California. I've never been anywhere until today...

STRANGER: Don't worry. Here are my details so you can find me...

ME: Wait, I have nowhere to go. I don't know Mexico...

STRANGER: It'll be very easy. Willian will be happy. You'll be one of the sirens at the bar, and it will bring us lots of profits, especially if you're a virgin... Perfect, if you want, you can come with me to the apartment...

ME: Thank you, really. I have nowhere to go. Thank you so much, ma'am...

STRANGER: I'm Martina...

And that's where it all began, by trusting unknown people due to my innocence. This world is very horrible. Sleeping with men I don't desire. Today, I am Willian's singer and woman, a disgusting man who stole my virginity. I wish I could escape this life, but I don't know how to do it. When I sing, I am happy, and it reminds me of my childhood when I was happy, before the suffering started. My parents were still alive back then. Now, I'm nineteen years old, and I've been here for four years. One day, a man arrived, whom everyone nicknamed Lucifer. I don't know why, but he was beautiful, with blue eyes, brown hair, and very tall, with a gaze that scared and made me uncomfortable...

I am 5'6" tall, not very tall. I have blonde hair and honey-colored eyes. They say I'm pretty. I'm the youngest siren, Lolita. My hair is long, reaching my waist. I have a beautiful body, and I can't complain. I look very similar to my mother, and many men want to be with me. But since I became Willian's woman, thankfully, I am forbidden. Willian is an incredibly arrogant man, and I feel disgusted by him. When he touches me, those are the worst nights of my life. I am not happy. I wish someone could save me...

Who will be the prince who will save me? I read many stories of princesses. I wish I could be one, where my prince would rescue me. I am like the princess in the tower, Rapunzel, waiting to be saved...

IVAN KINOVAK...

I am a billionaire businessman who is 29 years old, but in the underworld, I am a dangerous mafia known as Lucifer. I am Russian but have been in California for a long time. I have two sisters whom I adore; I don't have parents as they died in a car accident. Since then, I have dedicated myself to taking care of my sisters and managing my businesses. Everyone fears me, and I won't allow anyone to trample on me. My best friend, Patrick, is an American and my right-hand man. We have known each other for over ten years. Today, Patrick invited me to the bar called The Mermaids, and I was mesmerized by the singer, a beautiful young woman. She had blonde hair, honey-colored eyes, and an amazing body. I wondered why such a beautiful girl would be in a place like this. She must be the same age as my sisters. I will investigate who this young woman is because I want her for myself.

WILLIAM:

I am the owner of The Mermaids bar and I am 40 years old. Ever since I saw Lolita, I was captivated by her. I did not want her to work selling her body, so I proposed that she become my wife in exchange for protection from any man. I was her first, and since then, she is only mine. She only sings at the bar, and I don't want anyone to desire her. She belongs to me, and if anyone dares to try to take her away, I will kill them. I know she is with me involuntarily due to circumstances, but I don't care. Her body belongs to me.

MARTINA:

I have been working at The Mermaids bar since I was twelve years old. I am Mexican, and I am William's right-hand woman. I do everything he asks me to, including finding young girls to satisfy his desires and make money. I love him, and to make him happy, I will do whatever he asks, even though I hate Lola. Ever since she arrived, she stole his attention. I will do everything to remove her from my path. There is a man who showed interest in Lola, and I will ask him for money in exchange for giving her to him without William finding out.
