Episode 19

Antonella was in her room, full of pain, and decides to call her friend to tell her that she couldn't escape. Upon hearing this, Teresa felt both anger and sadness, as that family was repugnant and allowed happiness...

Teresa asks Antonella how she can help her, hoping there might be another way for her to avoid getting married. But there was no way out, luck was against her, and there was no turning back...

Antonella tells Teresa not to worry anymore, that she's fine, it's just her destiny...

She had no breath left to cry. And why bother? Tears don't solve anything; they are just signs of pain that dry up and disappear. The true pain lingers inside.

After talking with Teresa, Antonella decides to look at herself in the mirror to clean the blood from her lip. But instead of seeing a brave woman, she sees a weak woman who has always put her own happiness aside to please others. However, it was all in vain.

While looking at herself in the mirror, she receives a call. She checks her phone and sees that it's Harry, the person she least wanted to talk to - she had even momentarily forgotten he existed.

She picks up the phone, curious about what he wants. She doesn't know what else he has to say to her when everything was already clear.

📱"What do you want? Speak already."

📱"Antonella, please don't hang up. I want us to talk..."

📱"What is there between you and me that we need to talk about? Everything is already clear, isn't it?"

📱"No! It's not clear. You can't get married!"

📱"Ah, so your beloved Zoraya must have told you..."

📱"Yes, she told me everything, but I don't want you to get married."

📱"And why? Who are you? There's nothing between us anymore, you wanted it that way."

📱"But I... I love you!"

📱"Wait, what? Are you crazy?"

📱"Yes, Antonella, I love you. I regret ending things with you the way I did. I realized I miss you and I can't get you out of my mind. What if we run away together and start a new life?"

📱"Let me tell you something, you wretched person. I would rather marry that man a thousand times than have to go back to you. Do you think I'm foolish? How can you come and tell me you love me when I saw you with my own eyes, kissing Zoraya and telling her you didn't love me? Don't you remember the message you sent me that night? Saying that you found someone better?"

📱"But you love me, Antonella, I know it. You need me. You can't marry that man!"

📱"Who told you that you are everything I need? I may have loved you deeply, but when it's time to let go, you let go. Believe me, I let you go that night."

📱"No! I won't accept it, Antonella. Come back to me!"

📱"Well, guess what? I'm already engaged. I might be changing my mind, but right now, I'm planning to get married."

📱"Antonella, you don't love him. You love me..."

📱"Harry, you were just a mistake I won't make again. I would rather be by the side of someone I don't love than be with someone I love who betrayed me. Yes, love doesn't bring pain, but when it's the wrong person, believe me, there is plenty of pain."

📱"Antonella, I..."

📱"Goodbye..."

📱"Hello? Antonella? Antonella!!! How dare you hang up!!? Dammit!"

Antonella turns off her phone. She had had enough of people trying to take her for a fool.

She felt helpless with Harry. First, he used her like an idiot, and now he wants to come back as if nothing happened. If he thought Antonella would go back to him because she loved him, then he was mistaken. This wasn't the same Antonella anymore; the old Antonella had died, buried, and a cold woman had taken her place, someone who no longer believed in her own existence.

Sometimes people change because they have learned their lessons through tremendous pain or because they have grown tired of suffering. She wouldn't waste her time on insignificant things. She would only end up dizzy herself.

Those who want to go, let them go, and those who stay, let it be for the better, or else, they should not interfere...

Antonella gazes at herself in the mirror once again and realizes many things. It wasn't worth suffering for people who aren't even worth a single tear from her. She is tired of pretending to be okay when she's breaking inside, fed up with everything and everyone...

Being a good person doesn't mean she has to endure everything. Each person has their limit, and she had surpassed hers...

She makes the decision to accept that commitment, even if she doesn't want it. She has to take a risk to escape the agony she's living in. She may not know him or love him, but those who don't take risks never achieve any results, whether they are good or bad...

Now that Harry wants to come back to her, she wants nothing to do with him. She will marry Róger to make him hurt and understand how it feels to see the person you "love" in someone else's arms...
