Episode 5

Emily was impatiently talking to Ramires.

Emily = But I can take care of myself, work and go live somewhere else.

Ramires = I know you can, you can work, but the issue here isn't that, Emily, you need a guardian, legally you can't be without a guardian, you have no living relatives, you need someone with your custody to also get the inheritance.

She didn't understand these things well, but she knew she could trust him, she was still suffering from the loss, and she didn't want Lucian's love but his contempt for something she didn't do, it was horrible.

Ramires = Just stay well, believe me my dear, the solution comes from where we least expect it.

He hangs up, still in the laundry area, seeing the machine shake, she can't believe she was washing that jerk's clothes, he didn't order her around, Emily stares through the opening until something catches her attention.

Emily = A...no...no...

She opens the lid desperately and sees the stained coat, this can't have happened, she didn't read the product label and didn't know the fabric was so delicate, what was she going to do now, was it expensive, what would she say to him.

Emily = Come on Emily stop this, it was his fault, you have nothing to fear.

She takes the clothes and puts them in a basket and goes upstairs, she wasn't going to deny that she was trying to be positive but she was scared, the door was slightly open and she pushes it gently, inside she sees him only in shorts looking distant, he had a bottle of vodka in his hand, the room was dimly lit and then she sees him turn quickly in her direction.

Emily = A..I...

He comes towards her quickly and pulls her arms making her enter the room.

Lucian = What do you think you're doing?

Emily = I just came...

She sees that his eyes were a little red, was he crying, did he really have a heart, he takes the basket from her hands and looks at the clothes, doesn't say anything just throws it on the floor.

Lucian = Get out of here...

Emily = Suffering the loss of your father, is a pain we share.

He slams the door furiously behind her and approaches taking a big gulp from the bottle.

Lucian = Don't be fooled I'm not crying for that jerk, we don't share the same pain you stupid girl.

Emily = You don't have to be strong the tim....

Lucian = I despise your mother for what she did.

Emily = She didn't do anything.

He furiously throws the bottle that shatters on the wall, Emily ends up screaming in fright.

Lucian = Destroyed a family, my mother killed herself out of disgust.

Emily = What.........

He grabs her arm pulling her to the desk where there was a photo of his mother.

Lucian = The burden of being replaced was too much for her., she loved him and couldn't stand the contempt, how could a man leave the woman he married and his son for another woman, you condemned our family, she killed herself.

So this was the burden he carried, the death of his mother, and a very great loss that he blamed Emily and her mother for, when everything happened he was young and grew up with this hatred in his heart, a hatred that he is pouring out on her.

Emily = I wasn't to blame...

She pulls her arm brusquely and ends up staggering backwards where he supports her in his arms, all that pressure and guilt made her break down in tears.

Emily = I wasn't to blame......

She sees those confused eyes holding her chin, the tears insisting on falling.

Lucian = I hate you.....

Her tears are dried by those lips that meet hers, her eyes are startled and she is left without reaction, those lips were warm from the drink, Emily didn't understand why this was happening, he kissed her gently, it was so wet and soft, soon she is freed and sees that he was as confused as she was.

Lucian = Get out......

How did he do that, kiss her out of nowhere and then tell her to leave, she had kissed few times in her life and this left her confused, she just leaves hurriedly and enters the room locking the door, her mind still confused with everything that just happened.

Emily didn't try to understand but he suffered for everything here, the hatred and the mourning of the mother he didn't overcome, but it wasn't something easy either, she ends up crying again but this time she runs her fingers over her lips, why did he kiss her, she never thought this could happen.

It was the effect of the drink, and he didn't reprimand her for the clothes she ruined, both were orphans of life, and tragedies united them but he only had hatred for her, Emily was no longer going to cross his path, she didn't want anything from him much less his hatred, she was going to build her life and wasn't going to interfere in anything in his, after all two years pass quickly.
