Episode 9

Martina: Today is the day I will escape from this place. I am tired of my son and me being here without seeing daylight. I hope William arrives and sleeps so I can steal the keys and go far away with my baby. We are not animals. This damn man has stolen my freedom. I have worked for him since I was twelve. He was my first love, but I have opened my eyes. My son does not deserve this life. My Ezequiel, today we will leave here.

William: Today I will go see my son. No one should know that Martina and I had a child. I have many enemies and I need to get rid of Martina so my son can be mine and Lola's. The only woman that interests me. Tonight, I will kill Martina.

Night fell...

Hello, my dear Martina. How is my son?

Martina: Hello, William. Our son is fine, but he has been restless. Please, let us leave this place. My son should have a normal life like any other child his age. He is only three years old!

William: Of course, darling. The boy will have a normal life, but there is a problem.

Martina: What problem?

William: You are the problem. My son will leave this place, but you will not.

Martina: What the hell are you talking about? You will not take my son away from me. First, you will have to kill me.

William: It will be a pleasure. Hahaha.

Martina: Are you planning to kill me and take my son away? Don't even think about it, William. I will kill you first.

Martina grabbed a bottle that she had hidden before William arrived. As he approached her to strangle her, she hit him as hard as she could in the head and took the keys. She was nervous and desperate, not wanting anyone to stop her. William had many men guarding him, so she had to be cunning. She opened the basement, entered a room, took some clothes and a wig, and left with her son. She hoped no one would see her and, once outside, she carried her son and ran until she disappeared.

William: Five hours have passed, and I'm starting to regain my senses. What happened to me? Everything is spinning, and I'm starting to remember Martina, my son. That damn bitch hit me. I will kill her when I find her! Oh my god, the keys are gone. How long have I been here? It's one o'clock in the morning, and I've been unconscious for five hours. My head hurts. I'll find you and kill you, Martina. You will not keep my son, I swear!

I left that place, and everything seemed normal. The girls were working. I knocked on Lola's door. She only works on weekends, so she must be asleep. I will ask her to treat my wound.

Knock, knock, knock, knock. Lola, open up. Knock, knock, knock.

Lola: I am deeply asleep, and I hear someone knocking, but I don't give it any importance. They keep insisting. Who could it be? I hear William's voice. That damn man won't let me rest. I won't open.

Knock, knock, knock. Lola, open up. I'm injured, help me.

Lola: William, what are you doing here at this hour? Oh my god, what happened to your head? You have blood on it!

William: Lola, a guy hit me with a bottle. He wanted to rob me. Help me, bring something to treat the wound.

Lola: Oh, but this wound needs a doctor to stitch it up.

William: No, Lola, just clean it and apply something. You know I don't like hospitals.

Lola: Alright, I'll clean it with this. It may sting a bit, just bear with it.

William: Ouch, it burns a little. Keep going.

Lola: There, you won't bleed anymore. I don't understand where this happened, and look at the time, William.

William: I was unconscious for more than five hours, Lola.

Lola, I want to make you a proposition. I have a three-year-old son.

Lola: What? I didn't know, and where is he?

William: He will be with me soon. I want you to be his mother. You know that you are my woman.

Lola: William, but where is his mother?

William: She is dead, and I want you to take care of him. You are my woman, and it is your duty to raise him. I chose you to form a family with. I won't let other men sleep with you. You should be grateful for that. And if you don't accept, you will go back to working and sleeping with many men. You know I can make it happen.

Lola: You are forcing me to be your wife now, to raise a child that is not mine. What is wrong with you, William? I am not an object, you don't love me, and yet you want a family with me. What more do you want?

William: Shut up, Lola. You will do as I say.

I slapped him. He shouldn't have raised his voice.

Lola: What's wrong with you for hitting me...

William: You deserve it, and I don't want you to make me angry. You know what happened to Martina and if you want to end up like her, then obey...

Lola: Damn you, William. I hate you, I hate you. Help me, God. I want to disappear from this place soon...
