Episode 3

At the Delavega mansion

Maria: Good afternoon, sir and madam...

Cecilia: Please take Nina and get her settled in the room with my son. I'll go bathe him later.

Maria: Ma'am, I can help you if you need it.

Cecilia: You're too old for that, he's strong and heavy, better not...

Maria: Hi Nina, my dear, how much you've grown...

Nina: I miss your cooking.

Maria: I made your favorite dish today.

Nina: Lasagna? Yay, delicious! Let's go, I need to unpack my things in the room...

Maria: Dear, this will be your room, please, if you need anything, call me, don't be shy...

Nina: He's still handsome, Maria.

Maria: You've always had a crush on him, haven't you? I remember you as a child, admiring him, haha. He was fifteen and you were only five, saying that you would marry him, I'll never forget that...

Nina: But after I turned fifteen, he would reject and criticize me, saying I was ugly and annoying, haha.

Maria: I think it was jealousy, my dear, haha.

Nina: It was a look of hatred... I was actually afraid of him, haha.

Maria: The good thing is that he's hearing everything, haha.

Nina: Oh my God 😨 he can hear?

Maria: I believe so, he even gets sad if your father or your mother doesn't come, I've noticed that...

Nina: How do you know?

Maria: I don't know, haha, I just notice it by some signs, I can't explain it. Dr. Carlos says it might make sense...

Nina: That's good, I wish he would wake up. Even if it's to yell at me, he doesn't deserve to be like this. It's a shame to have a husband like that.

Maria: You've never dated, have you?

Nina: Mariaaa (blushing) well, I've never even dated, haha.

Maria: Carlos would arrive complaining that you had a boyfriend, but I knew it was just gossip.

Nina: His cousin Otavio won't leave me alone, he spreads so much stuff that I feel like hitting him. He almost broke my arm once, if it wasn't for the college security guard, I don't know what could have happened to me. And also thanks to a pepper spray that my aunt gave me, he has tried so many things on me.

Maria: You don't tell anyone? You should report it!

Nina: Who would believe me? He always wins, even Victor believed him and sent me horrible messages full of humiliation and hate, I don't even want to remember.

Maria: It's a good thing he's hearing this, when he wakes up he'll be a better person, he's a good boy!

Nina: And he'll continue not to believe me, right...? He can't see me, so he'll freak out on me with you by his side...

Maria: No, he won't... I'll leave you then, dear. Ma'am is coming to take care of Victor.

Nina: I'm going to take a shower, see you later.

Nina takes a shower, applies her strawberry lotion, and sits on the bed in a towel... She then talks to Victor, who is lying down.

Nina: Look who'd say I'd be here by your side, Victor... If it were before, you'd freak out just by seeing me, now you'll have to put up with me. And the best part is you can't even say anything... Think about it, I'm making an effort too, okay? Don't think for a second that having a crush on you is making this easy.

Where's your fake blonde? She's the real slut, I bet she never came to see you, right? She goes out with your creepy and rapist cousin, besides saying in interviews that she suffers for you, lying that your family won't let her see you and such. But the day your cousin attacked me, she was with him at the college gate...
