Episode 5

Narrated by Lorena

In these hectic days, I already have everything ready to go to college. I go shopping with Martina, and a magazine catches my attention. When I see the date, I understand why the bastard didn't pick me up at the airport. The idiot was having fun with his little girlfriend.

Martina sends me back to the mansion with a driver because she has to go to class. Upon arriving home, I head to Mr. and Mrs. De Santis' study, and my father's voice catches my attention as he asks about my progress. I decide to listen to the response, and what I hear leaves me speechless. They want me to marry Ricardo. I retreat to my room and enter the tub, unsure whether to accept the engagement to that bastard.

I heard that the bastard is returning today for a dinner where our engagement is going to be announced. If I am going to get married, it won't be to suffer heartbreak, but rather to have him at my feet. So, I must think about how to seduce him and take him to bed to lose my virginity. It's time to discuss sexual matters with my friend and especially now that I'm starting a new university. I don't want them to think I'm just good for show.

The time for dinner arrives, and I decide to wear a tight dress that clings to my fair-skinned body. I go downstairs and sit next to Alanzo's brother, who happens to be Ricardo's brother. I don't know why but since I arrived, I feel like he's devouring me with his gaze. I hear the study door opening, and Ricardo storms out with an enraged expression. He looks at me and then at his brother, seething with anger. He approaches me and says, "I see you're not as ordinary as before. I'll do you the favor, but please, since you convinced my family with your innocent face to marry me, respect me and stop seducing my brother."

Without a second thought, I slap him across the face and make my way back to my room. I hear Mrs. Laura calling my name, and Mr. De Santis telling his son, "Fix this, or you'll lose the presidency, and it'll go to your brother."

I enter my room and take off my dress. I'm left in my underwear, and my tears start to flow uncontrollably. I contemplate what will become of me if I marry that monster. I think it's best to move to an apartment alone and distance myself from the De Santis family. I stand by the windows in my underwear, watching as Ricardo walks towards his car. I decide to wash my face in the bathroom, slip on some sneakers, and start a workout routine in my room to calm my nerves. As I'm exercising, my phone rings, and I flop onto the bed to answer Katia.
