After waking up, she sat up, listening to the argument in the room. The doctor had told them that Roxane had an aphrodisiac in her system and that it was too strong, having been lucky that it hadn't killed her. Of course, far from being worried, Mirella insinuated that Roxane had been using drugs, and Leysa supported this by saying that she had seen Roxane taking them, but didn't say anything because she was afraid they wouldn't believe her. She even shed tears begging Phil for forgiveness for not having said it before.
When Phil saw that Roxane was already awake, he began to scold her for being a drug addict and for messing around with a man on the very day of their engagement, ruining everything that night.
Scott's parents and Scott himself, who were also in the room, began to complain as well, not wanting their son to marry that kind of woman.
"I can't believe that on the night of your engagement you get high and bring your lover to the house, everyone will now say that my sister is a slut." Leysa covered her face with both hands, pretending to cry.
"Slut? Isn't that what you are?" Roxane replies.
"Roxane, don't you dare talk to your sister like that, she..."
Mirella is interrupted by Roxane's laughter.
"She what? Just look at her, that expensive dress, my fiance bought it for you, didn't he? You must have sucked his d*ck well for him to give you such an expensive gift." She smiles mockingly.
"Roxane, don't slander us like that, you were the one in that room with a man... I can't believe I fell in love with such a..."
Scott didn't dare continue his words because he noticed Roxane's frivolous look.
"Are you stupid? Didn't you hear that I was drugged and that man tried to rape me." She gets out of bed. "Stupid commoners."
Phil tries to get in her way, he was upset by how Roxane was behaving, especially knowing that she has used dr*gs.
"Roxane, where do you think you're going? You won't escape this, you're an ungrateful daughter, this..."
"Shut your mouth, old man, before I cut your damn tongue off, your screams give me a headache." She silences him.
With that, she leaves the room. Of course, Scott follows her into the hallway where he holds her hand.
"You can't just leave like that, I need you to explain, how did that man get into your room?"
"I don't owe anyone explanations, least of all you, and don't you ever dare touch me without my permission or I'll cut off that dirty hand of yours."
She pulls Scott's hand away and continues on her way, while he is stunned by Roxane's cold attitude. She, who was always sweet and looked at him with love, now her eyes only looked at him with disgust. Roxane went down to the living room where people were still at the party, while others were just arriving. When they saw her pass, they greeted her, but Roxane ignored everyone until she passed through the door, observing this new world in which she has been reborn.
"Roxane, heavens, darling, I've been calling you and you haven't answered me." A young woman approaches her.
This girl was a little older than her, with blonde hair and brown eyes. It was Zarina, the only one Roxane could trust.
"Zarina, let's get out of here." She asks.
"What? But it's your engagement night, don't tell me you and Scott had a fight? I always told you that he..."
"I'll tell you on the way, shall we go?" She asks.
Zarina smiles at Roxane's words, but there was something different about her. Still, she told her that her car was in the parking lot so they could leave right away. Roxane follows Zarina and once in the car, she tells her that she was drugged by Leysa and that she put a man in her room who wanted to rape her.
Zarina was horrified by what she heard and even more so knowing that her father, far from protecting her, has treated her like a slut and has believed the two harpies he had at home.
"Don't worry, you'll stay at my house tonight and we'll talk more calmly tomorrow, okay?"
"That sounds good to me, but I know what I'm going to do..." Roxane replies.

Meanwhile, in the Walker mansion, they are discussing what happened, with Leysa and Mirella insisting that Roxane has disappointed her family and is humiliating them by leaving without facing the consequences of her actions, and that they will also have to cancel the engagement announcement.
Scott, still angry about what happened, tells them that it is not necessary to cancel, but that they will change the bride. Scott, still upset by what happened, proposes to marry Leysa, since she is a beautiful and decent young woman, and since she is also a Walker, the merger of their companies can continue.
Leysa was more than satisfied to hear that proposal and timidly. — If Scott agrees, I don't object, I know that Scott is a decent man and I will be fortunate to be his wife.
Phil and Scott's parents talk about this, even Mirella thinks that the engagement would be fine, since the party has started and it was the best thing to do at that moment, including that if Scott and Leysa decide not to marry in the end, their decision will be respected.
Scott was still angry, so his idea was to accept that engagement and show Roxane what she has lost because of her betrayal. Since Leysa is her sister, she will be forced to see him happy with another woman and will realize that she should never have messed with another man. Leysa, happy with how things were developing, gladly accepted and was determined to win Scott's love, proving that when she wants something, she gets it, even if it means taking it from Roxane.
¤¤¤¤
The next morning at Zarina's house, Roxane lets her know that she will be leaving the family home and will dedicate herself to raising her small company to the top, she will turn it into an empire throughout the city and conquer the market of other countries, because throughout the night she dedicated herself to studying that world, understanding that there are no kingdoms or empires to conquer and the closest thing to that were politicians and businessmen, so she thought that if she wants to have power in that world, she must raise her status and the best way to do it is by having a successful company, so no one will be able to trample on her and on the contrary, she will be the one who crushes them all.
Zarina was impressed by her friend's attitude, since since last night, she had not shed a single tear for what happened before her engagement and now she was only focused on reviewing the documents of her small company. Of course, Zarina was quick to see the news, Leysa had become engaged to Scott, who until a few hours ago was Roxane's boyfriend. The news was in all the media, Zarina looked at Roxane who only looked up at the television.
"I'm sorry, I'll turn it off..." She takes the remote and turns off the TV. "I'm sorry for what's happening, I can't believe Scott is doing this to you."
"It's okay, that man is weak-minded, I don't need a hindrance like him by my side." She replies calmly.
Zarina is surprised by her friend's words, she didn't understand what was happening to her, has the breakup affected her so much? Now Roxane is as if she were someone else.
