Episode 6

Nicol's gaze remains fixed on the ground, and Carmen can see how Miguel looks at Nicol as if she were the most beautiful girl he has ever seen, which completely displeases Carmen.

Miguel wonders many things about the girl, and it's logical that her natural beauty would attract attention. I couldn't imagine the girl being so beautiful. She looks like a doll, and when he sees her with a backpack and a small cage in her hands, making her look so cute, Miguel is left speechless.

"Good morning, I'm Miguel," he greets, but Nicol doesn't respond.

"Fine, she's all yours. You can take her away now. I can't stand seeing her," Carmen speaks with disdain, and that comment hurt Nicol.

Miguel glares at Carmen and then approaches Nicol.

"Leave your backpack. You won't need it where you're going," Miguel says, and Nicol slowly takes it off. She seems empty, like a soulless girl. "Let me help you carry your pet," Miguel extends his hands, but Nicol instinctively moves away. "Alright, it's time to go," Miguel says, noticing the girl's rejection.

Miguel leaves the house first, and as Nicol passes by Carmen, she grabs her arm tightly.

"You will suffer wherever you go, and I will be happy to see you suffer," Carmen laughs maliciously, and Nicol lets out a long sigh.

"I hope life brings you something beautiful, Carmen, so that you never have to suffer the same pain you've caused me, because of life's karma."

Nicol swiftly exits the house and sees a luxurious van waiting for her. When she spots the bodyguards, she becomes frightened and starts having negative thoughts.

She turns to look at her former happy home, her eyes filled with tears, and then continues towards the car. Miguel opens the door, and she enters with fear she can't control.

The journey is filled with silence, not even her pet hamster makes any noise as it usually does. It seems to sense Nicol's fear and hides as much as possible. Nicol clings to the cage, and Miguel avoids looking at her as much as he can.

They arrive at a house, not a mansion, but a cabin on the outskirts of the city.

Nicol swallows, frightened as the car parks, and she says, "Please sir, if you're going to kill me, let me set my hamster free so he can be safe before you do whatever you want with me." She rushes to say this, her face pale, and Miguel bursts into a contagious laughter.

"How do you think I will harm you?" he asks, making her nervous.

"It's just... you, in the room... maybe you're upset with me," she says, feeling embarrassed.

"I understand, but I'm not your husband. I am your husband's best friend and right-hand man."

Nicol turns to look at Miguel and realizes he must be him.

That worries her more now. Who is her husband? Who was the person who touched her like that? She is lost in her thoughts.

"Let's go inside the house," Miguel orders, and she nods.

As they enter, everything Nicol needs is already there, and for some reason, she stops feeling afraid and likes the place.

"I hope you find it to your liking. When you cook for yourself, you should do it as if you were also cooking for your husband," Miguel instructs.

"He... Will the gentleman come?" she asks without looking at Miguel.

"I cannot answer that. You must keep everything very tidy. Just as you see it, everything must be. You won't lack anything."

"Is there anything else I should do?" she asks without looking at him.

"You must always be well-groomed, never be barefoot, and I repeat, everything must be clean. In short... everything must be impeccable, including healthy meals."

"As you wish, sir," she says without looking at him.

"You can settle in. I'll be back as soon as I can. Take the opportunity to rest."

Before leaving, Miguel approaches the girl and then exits. As he closes the door, Nicol hurries to lock it and looks around.

As she peers out the window, she sees two men dressed in black inside the house. She recoils from fear of being in an unfamiliar place and accidentally knocks over an expensive vase she doesn't know about. Startled, she quickly looks for a way to clean it up.

"Now I'm in trouble, cappuccino.

"Your wife, she's at the place you ordered, Scott" said Miguel. "Are you listening to me?" Miguel asks, and Scott has a cloth in his mouth, then removes it to answer Miguel, and his friend can see the blood on that white cloth.

"Are you okay? And why is there blood, Scott?" Miguel asks, concerned.
