Episode 9

At the mansion, Elisa sleeps all afternoon. The relentless rain contributes greatly to a good rest.

Around 7:00 PM, she begins to wake up, spending about fifteen minutes just staring at the ceiling, until she hears her cell phone ring, bringing her back to reality.

Elisa 📱- Hello!

Anderson 📱- Elisa? I finally got ahold of you!

Elisa 📱- Anderson? What happened?

Anderson 📱- I'm here in front of your house, I came to pick you up…

Elisa is startled.

📱- You're at my father's house?

Anderson 📱- Yes, where else would I be? Where are you?

Elisa then remembers that he was talking about the party at Filipa's house. She had completely forgotten, but she was in no mood to go to this party.

Anderson 📱- Elisa, are you there?

Elisa 📱- Sorry, but I'm not in the mood to go out today!

Anderson 📱- Are you still mad at me?

Elisa 📱- That's not it, I just don't feel like going out, I'll talk to Filipa later!

Anderson 📱- I wanted to see you, to talk to you!

📱- We'll talk later!

…

After ending the call, she goes to take a shower, taking off her clothes while still in the room and going naked to the bathroom.

Almost eight o'clock at night, Christian arrives at the mansion. Soledad is preparing dinner, the smell wafting throughout the house. He enters and walks over to her.

Christian - What smells so good?

Soledad - Hi dear, I'm making chicken risotto, I know you love it!

Christian - And Elisa?

Soledad - She hasn't left her room all day, she was so tired she slept all day!

Christian smiles and goes upstairs. When he reaches the door of the room, he becomes pensive, he was dying to see her, he wanted to show her the rings.

He knocks on the bedroom door, but there is no answer. He assumed she was still sleeping, so he decided to enter slowly. The room was dark, only a light on coming from the bathroom caught Christian's attention. Only then did he notice Elisa's clothes scattered on the floor. He bends down and picks up her blouse, bringing it to his face. He feels his member throb just from her scent, it was a sweet perfume, the best smell he had ever smelled, he was intoxicated. He already imagined a thousand different ways to make love to her.

Not content with just imagining, he walks to the bathroom with slow steps. Elisa was facing away from the shower stall, and because of the steam from the hot water she could not see him there. The foam was all over her body, Christian goes crazy at the image, Elisa was extremely sexy, her curves were perfect.

He could spend his whole life admiring her nakedness, he was mesmerized by that woman, crazy to bury himself inside her. His member was stiff, it even hurt from so much excitement.

Christian - Calm down my friend, this way I'll have to drain you later! (he thought)

…

Elisa spends a long time under the hot water, washes her hair and refreshes herself. After the shower, she looks for something comfortable to wear, grabs one of her clothes from her suitcase and puts it on, then dries her hair.

So far everything was fine, and she even thought it could be this way, each one in their own corner, living in the same house, but without contact with each other. If it were as she imagined it would be bearable.

Elisa picks up her cell phone and tries to contact Gisele one more time, the phone rings, rings, but again without success. Frustrated, she calls Raquel who answers on the second ring.

Raquel 📱- Cousin?

Elisa 📱- Hi…

Raquel 📱- How are you? I was already worried sick without any news from you!

Elisa 📱- I'm fine, I'm sorry, I ended up sleeping all day, I was exhausted.

Raquel 📱- I imagined it was that, but tell me, how are things over there, how is your new house? And your husband? Gosh… it's so weird, I still can't believe you're a married woman!

Elisa 📱- So far so good, the house is beautiful, and my room is amazing. And Mr. Mystery, I haven't met him yet, I believe he doesn't stay home much!

Raquel 📱- Hmm, what a mysterious man, even I am dying of curiosity!

Elisa 📱- Hmm, I'm not in the least, but, changing the subject, how are Aunt Celia and Uncle Edson?

Raquel 📱- They are well, Mom is feeling better today!

Knocking on the door.

Elisa 📱- Cousin, send them a kiss, I need to hang up!

Raquel 📱- Okay cousin, kisses, take care!

Elisa hangs up the call and walks to the door, taking a deep breath, afraid of who might be on the other side.

Soledad - Dear, it's me, Sol....

Elisa releases her breath and opens the door.

Soledad - I came to call you for dinner, I'm about to serve!

Elisa - I'm not hungry....

(Lie)

Soledad - You haven't eaten anything since you arrived, you need to eat!

Elisa - Is he here?

Soledad - Who, Christian?

Elisa nods.

Soledad - Yes, he's already arrived, he's in the office...

Elisa - Tell him I'm not hungry, I feel unwell.

Soledad - I understand you're scared, but don't worry, he's a good man, I know this must not be easy, but maybe you two...

Elisa interrupts.

- So you know why I'm here, don't you? Try to understand, my life has changed from water to wine. Until a week ago I was just a normal student who only cared about graduating and building a career. If you say he's a good man, why did he want to kill my father? Why didn't he accept payment in another way? Why me? I don't understand… (cries)

Sol - Don't cry, honey, everything will be resolved, give it time!

Elisa - It's not that simple, I feel like I could die at any moment from so much anguish!

Sol - Oh!? Dear, don't be like that...

(…)

After leaving Elisa's room, Christian goes to his, takes a hot shower, puts on sweatpants and a polo shirt, combs his hair, puts on his perfume, then goes to his office.

After some time trying to console Elisa, Sol goes down to the kitchen, but Christian watches her from the office, where he has access to the images from the security cameras scattered around the house. He sees that Elisa is still in the room, this makes him angry, and he goes to the kitchen.

Christian - Isn't she coming down?

Sol - Sorry son, she's unwell, I'll take something light for her to eat in her room!

Christian - Unwell or just doesn't want to look at my face?

Sol - Chris, give her a break, poor thing, it's not easy for her to deal with all this!

Christian - I want her having dinner with me, even if I have to drag her!

The maids who were in the kitchen widened their eyes.

He leaves the kitchen like a shot, Sol runs after him to try to stop him, however, he strides across the house with great speed, climbs the stairs and stops in front of the bedroom door.

Sol - Chris, please be patient with her...
