Episode 1

Hi, I'm Diana, I'm 18 years old, I'm finishing high school, I have an older sister who is 25 years old, we look a lot alike, I live with my parents who own a technology company, we have never lacked anything, they have given us everything, now I am in my room studying for my exam so I can get into college.

"Daughter, why are you changing your mind now? I don't understand how."

my father shouts at her,

"You accepted."

"Well, I don't want to anymore," she tells them.

"You have no choice, it will only be for 1 year, it's already planned, we're sorry, it's that or we'll take everything away from you."

"Fine, get out, I want to be alone."

I hear my parents leaving her room and closing the door, they pass by my room and I smile at them.

"Rest," my father tells me, "tomorrow we have to be early for the wedding."

"Likewise, and yes, I'm going to sleep," I tell them.

My mother doesn't say anything, walking with him, I go to my sister's room and find her with her cell phone and a suitcase beside her.

"What are you doing?" I tell her.

She jumps startled as if I had discovered her, we are not that close but she is my sister, she is the one who always keeps space with me.

"I'm sorry," I tell her, "I didn't mean to scare you."

"I'm packing, get out of my room," she yells at me.

I quickly leave locking myself in mine for the rest of the night, we were never that close despite being sisters, I have always dedicated myself to my studies and she to her affairs as well, so I put away my books and go to sleep, I hear a knock on my door and it's my nanny who tells me that I have to get ready, my parents have already left to have the papers in order.

I go to my closet for my dress and put it on, getting ready, a makeup artist comes in to paint me, I'm ready and I go downstairs.

"Nanny, where's my sister?" I ask her when I see her.

"She already left," she tells me.

I nod, leaving as well, I get into the car with my designated driver, I don't see my sister's driver.

"Did my sister already leave?" I ask my driver.

"I don't know, miss," he tells me, "but the car isn't here, I imagine she already left."

I don't speak the whole way, I arrive at a huge house that looks more like a castle, we pass the huge gates and I see many cars, I get out when I see my mother who walks towards me grabbing me by the shoulders.

"Where is your sister Tiana?"

"I don't know," I tell her, not knowing what's happening.

I see my father talking on the cell phone in the yard, desperate.

"What's happening?" I ask him.

"She was supposed to come an hour ago and she hasn't arrived, we've already looked for her and she doesn't appear, did she tell you anything?" he asks me, shaking my shoulders.

"No, I only saw her packing last night."

"What do you mean packing?" my father yells at me when he hears me walking towards me, "Why didn't you tell us?"

"What was I supposed to tell you?" I tell them, "That she was packing to go live with her husband?"

"Daughter, she wouldn't take anything, if she packed it's because she fled."

"I don't know, what about her driver?" I tell them, "he wasn't there, he must know."

"He's not showing up either," he says, walking away, "we're ruined, they're asking questions and they gave me half an hour to fix it, I'll pay dearly for this, it's like a mockery of them."

"But it's not your fault," I tell him.

"Diana!"

my father tells me, taking my face while my mother doesn't stop crying,

"They don't understand that, there's only the simple fact that your sister escaped and they will leave us ruined and I don't know what they will do to me."

"But we can explain to them," I tell him, entering the huge house that is super luxurious while my father follows me, I see an older couple standing in some huge windows.

"Tania?"

Her mother tells me and everyone turns to look at me.

"We have to end this."

someone speaks who I hadn't noticed was sitting smoking, he gets up signing a paper and I can see that he has a cold look, he is super tall and wears a tailored suit. He leaves the pen indicating me to sign.

"I don't, I'm not,"

I tell them stuttering and I see that the door opens and my parents enter.

"Excuse me but she is not Tania."

He doesn't finish speaking because I see how they grab him by the neck, hitting him against the wall, a security guard with black glasses

"Are you retracting, well, you bear the consequences."

I hear the same guy who signed the paper speaking from the table.

"That's not it, Mr. Fabian,"

says my father.

Now I understand, it's with him that my sister would marry, my mother looks at me desperately and I don't understand what she wants to tell me.

"You no longer want to marry your daughter, that's disloyal, I trusted you."

an older man speaks.

"Leave it, father."

says Mr. Fabian,

"Get out," he shouts at us.

"Gentlemen, there will be no wedding, excuse me," I tell them.

"Why do you say that?"

I hear Fabian laughing, releasing the smoke from the cigarette,

"Don't play hard to get," he tells me with a familiarity, he approaches and without giving him time to continue speaking I slap him.

My eyes are on the person I just hit and he looks at me with hatred, from one moment to another he grabs me by the neck and I try to get out, he releases me turning his back.

"Disappear from my sight."

he shouts making my father take me by the arm taking me out of the house.

"What did you do."

my mother tells me being outside,

"We must get you out of here."

says my father with the phone to his ear.

"Why?"

"Does it seem little to you to have slapped the man who was upset because your sister didn't arrive at the wedding?"

"Take her to the house."

my father tells my driver,

"But now!"

he shouts, and I get into the car and my parents get into theirs,

We arrive home almost at the same time I quickly go up to pack and my father goes up to the office, I pack what I can until I hear a loud bang downstairs as if they were breaking something and I carefully peek out,

"Do you think I have come here showing my face to people like you."

I hear them talking and I peek out more from the stairs seeing how my father is surrounded by men with visible weapons.

"Mr. Fabian, my daughter who would marry you fled," he says.

"You don't know how to run a family that you let your daughter flee, and the other you didn't educate well."

"Sir, an apology in the name of my two daughters."

I hear them talking and it's my mother who is crying in a corner, there are many armed men in the doors and windows.

"Did you think there would be no consequences, you hide one, and want to pass her off as her sister, you promised me a daughter so you will give me one," he says.

and I cover my mouth so that my crying is not heard when fear takes me.

"Sir, my daughter Diana just turned 18 years old."

"Of course, you only accepted the money, you hid one, don't want to be the good father now."

"That's not it, sir, it's just that my daughter Tiana was already 25 years old, and the agreement was for her."

"Or is it because Tiana is not yours."

he says and my mother cries louder,

"What kind of father are you, I knew you wanted one more but not to that extent, that's why you protect the one that is yours more."

"I love both of them equally."

says my father, and I don't know where he gets that from.

"Then give me the other, if you don't care, because I won't be left as a fool."

"Sir, there are many families who would kill for me to choose their daughters, you can't just let this pass, as soon as I get the money I will return it to you."

"I already told you, I won't be left as a fool, you comply or you comply, you will say if you want to be watching over your daughter or know that you have her married, which in any case will be the same."
