Lola: Today is the day I will finally leave this place, I hope I don't make any mistakes. I will deceive that man, I will do everything he tells me to gain his trust and escape. I'm tired of this life 😞 I want to see the daylight, study, work with dignity. Why was I given this life? I didn't choose it. Destiny wanted it this way. If my parents hadn't died, I would be happy in my little ranch. I miss them so much. It has been four years since I've been locked up. Martina brought me here. In this place, my life broke down, and I'm no longer myself. She made me pay for a lifetime, locked up and with a child, but I feel sorry for her too. She's also a victim of that damn William...
In William's office...
William: So, sir, you're here for my mermaid! Before I hand her over, I want to give you a warning...
Ivan: Hahaha, a nobody like you comes to warn me? You know you could die right here...
William: I was sweating. I've heard that this man is dangerous... No, sir, excuse me. But the woman I'm giving you is very important to me, and this is just business. She agrees with me. I just want you to return her on the agreed day. She wasn't available, but we're bankrupt. We need the money for our wedding...
Ivan: But what a damn man, selling his wife to the highest bidder. Hahaha, Mr. William, you've surprised me. Selling your wife, what kind of love is that, especially if she agrees? Well, what a joke. Here's the money! Bring me the girl. I'm wasting time with you, and I hate waiting...
William: Yes, sir, I'll bring her right away.
Knock knock. Lola opens the damn door. Knock knock.
Lola: Damn it, it's about time. Lola, get ready. God, give me strength. I just hope she's not a vegetable...
William: Here I am, Lola. Let's go, I'm ready...
Lola: Wait, you see me too happy. I just hope you don't try anything because I'll kill you. You're mine and mine alone. This is just business. After this, we'll go on a trip to reward your work...
Lola: Stupid, you're selling me like a prostitute. Is that what you think of me, and you expect to reward me with a trip...
William: Hurry up, you fool. I'm the one giving orders. Come in already...
(Lola enters the office and raises her gaze. She sees the same man who made her feel an electric shock, who intimidated her with his blue eyes. The man who made her tremble...)
Ivan: Here you are, little one. I thought you were different from the rest, but I see you agree to be sold by your boyfriend, he just told me...
Lola: She looked at William with disdain, then at the man who just humiliated her, and she remained silent. She didn't want William to do anything to her...
William: No need for such an introduction...
Ivan: I agree, let's go, my dear mermaid...
Lola: That man made me get into his car. He looked at me in an intimidating way and with a deep voice, he asked for my name and age...
Ivan: Girl, what's your name?
Lola: My name is Lola Hernandez...
Ivan: How old are you?
Lola: 19, sir...
Ivan: And you're not from here, judging by your accent...
Lola: No, sir, I'm Mexican...
Ivan: And why did a young girl like you end up working in this place and selling yourself...
Lola: Sir, destiny...
Ivan: Why do you say destiny when you have the right to have an opinion, to decide?
Lola: Hahaha... sir, you made me laugh. Forgive me...
Ivan: Why are you laughing? Who gave you permission to laugh in my face...
Lola: I'm sorry, sir. It's because of what you said. I can't decide. I've been here since I was fifteen, and I didn't choose to work in this. It was just my destiny...
Ivan: I looked at her with sadness in her eyes. She should be studying... No more questions...
We traveled in silence the entire way. I peeked at her, and she was looking out the window, amazed. You're so beautiful...
Lola: Everything is so beautiful, the nature, the sky. I can breathe fresh air... My eyes welled up with tears. I'm finally out of that damn bar...
