Episode 6

"Dad, Mr. Nicolas Lobo is looking for you," Lisa says, entering the living room where her parents are.

Robert and Luisa look up and see Nicolas looking at them with a somber look, and Robert swallows hard as he sees the two men and four more men enter; Julian arrives with three bodyguards.

"Mr. Lobo," Robert says with a trembling voice, "what brings you here? Please, come in, have a seat."

Nicolas, Alex, and Julian go and sit down.

"I'll get straight to the point, Robert. You know what happens to people who try to outsmart me. You thought I wouldn't notice the robbery you pulled on me."

Robert pales upon hearing this and looks nervously at Nicolas.

Lisa: "Dad, what is Mr. Lobo talking about?"

"As you hear it, little one, your father has stolen a large amount of money from me to recover what he lost from an investment that almost left him bankrupt."

Lisa's eyes widen, and she looks at her father and then at her mother, who is just as shocked.

Robert: "Mr. Lobo, I promise I will pay you back every penny. I just need a little time."

"That's what you don't have, Robert. So, I hope you have a very good offer for me, or else I will destroy your company, well, your late wife's company."

Robert paled upon hearing this.

"I have no other proposal than the one I just made, Mr. Lobo. I only ask for less than a month to pay you everything with interest."

"Ha! Too bad for you, Robert. From now on, your late wife's company belongs to me. Here are the papers, sign them, and I will spare your life.

I'm being considerate; the people who tried to do the same thing you did aren't alive to tell the tale."

Robert's eyes widened.

Lisa: "Dad, you can't give him the company we live on... Dad, please do something; you still have one way out," Lisa tells him, looking at her father.

Robert knows what Lisa is referring to and thought about it too; if he hands Alice over to this man, he can be the absolute owner of everything his wife left behind.

Robert stood up, his gaze fixed on Nicolas, who looked at him seriously.

"Mr. Lobo, how about I give you one of my daughters in marriage as compensation? I've heard that your grandmother is in poor health and wants to see you married."

Nicolas initially didn't want to accept, but he thought about his grandmother, who is in poor health and asked him to marry before she died.

Nicolas thought about it for a moment and turned back to Robert, who was sweating cold.

"Fine, but I want a virgin."

At this suggestion, Lisa paled since she was the one who wanted to marry Nicolas, but she was not a virgin; they could not afford to deceive him.

"Well, Mr. Lobo, my other daughter meets the requirements. Her name is Alice. She's not home right now because she's at school, but if you want, I can send for her."

"Your daughter is the little one who left this morning, the black-haired one with blue eyes?" Alex asked.

"Yes, Mr. Lobo, that's her. I see you already know her."

"Yes, we saw her when she left. What do you say, brother?" Alex asks him.

"Very well, it is not necessary to look for her. I will leave a marriage agreement."

Julian: "Look, Mr. Castle, this is a marriage agreement. With this, your daughter and Mr. Lobo would already be married. Only you and the young lady have to sign since she is a minor, right?"

Robert: "Yes, my daughter just turned 17. Hand me the pen to sign, and when she gets home from school, I'll have her sign it."

Lisa is red with anger; she wanted to marry Nicolas and be Mrs. Lobo.

"Very well, you have to sign it today. I will come for her tomorrow."

After leaving those words, Nicolas left, followed by Julian and Alex.

"Well, brother, you were interested in the little brunette, and now you are married to her. What more could you want? From now on, I tell you that you are very lucky; my dear sister-in-law is beautiful and has a beautiful body. If she weren't so short, I would think she was of legal age," Alex says playfully.

Nicolas gives him a murderous look, "Did you dare to ogle my wife's body?"

"Please, brother, she wasn't your wife this morning. You haven't even been married an hour, and you're already a possessive husband. Poor, dear sister-in-law," Alex tells him with a smile.
