Episode 3

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

SANTOS: Drop the subject and drive, they must rest from the trip.

ROMA: Your wife is useless, Santos, if you had married my daughter none of this would be happening and you would be very happy.

PAMELA: Don't say that, mother, Santos and I are just friends. _(embarrassed and blushing at the comment)

ROMA: But it's the truth, you two would make a better couple. You would be worthy of bearing the Riquehiros surname.

The lady during the trip was insulting Veronica and saying what a perfect couple Santos and her daughter would be. The man only listened and did not defend his wife, much less gave her her place as Mrs. Riquehiros. Veronica for her part was even more disappointed in the man, how was it possible that he allowed those women to insult her and disrespect her in front of him and he didn't say anything to them. Containing her anger she continued driving towards a hotel, she didn't want those women in her house.

SANTOS: This is not the way to our house.

VERONICA: You said they need to rest from their trip, so I'm taking them to the best hotel in the city.

ROMA: You're a useless and brainless, how could you think we'd stay in a dirty hotel. _(angry)

SANTOS: Drive home, they will stay there. _(ignoring the insults towards his wife)

VERONICA: They will not stay in our house. _(she said firmly)

PAMELA: Miss Garcia, the house belongs to Santos and he said we could stay there.

ROMA: Don't be so presumptuous, an orphan like you would never have the means to own a house of that status.

SANTOS: Drive home, Veronica.

Veronica, annoyed and wanting to scream at them to go to hell, drove to their house. Upon arrival, Mrs. Roma entered giving orders as if the house was hers and criticizing absolutely everything there.

ROMA: What can you expect from someone so vulgar.

SANTOS: Take the guests' luggage to their rooms. _(he ordered)

VERONICA: I have work to do, goodbye. _(before she left, she was stopped by Pamela)

PAMELA: Miss Garcia, Santos has said that you cook very well, I would like to try something prepared by you.

VERONICA: I am a pediatrician not a chef, tell the maids to prepare the food for you.

ROMA: What can you expect from a useless person like you.

VERONICA: I think the useless ones are others who only expect everything to be done for them.

SANTOS: Veronica, don't talk to Mrs. Roma like that. Apologize immediately.

VERONICA: If you want apologies, do it yourself. I have to go to the hospital now. _(frustrated leaving that place)

ROMA: Definitely your wife is useless and vulgar, look how badly this house is decorated with such bad taste. Now more than ever I am sure that you should have married my daughter.

SANTOS: If you don't like it, you can change the decoration to your liking.

PAMELA: I wouldn't want Veronica to get upset.

ROMA: That stupid woman has no reason to get upset, she should be grateful that we will improve the presentation of this place.

SANTOS: She won't be upset, if you don't like something, you can change it. _(giving her a credit card)

PAMELA: Thank you Santos, I assure you that your house will be beautiful.

SANTOS: I know. Now go and rest, when the food is ready they will call you.

The women went up to their rooms and Santos went to the study to review his work schedule, as he had been absent for a week.

ROMA: You have to take advantage of this opportunity, Pamela. _(taking clothes out of the suitcase)

PAMELA: I know, Santos doesn't take her into account in the least.

ROMA: Did you see that he didn't even defend her from us?

PAMELA: Exactly, so our plan will be easier than we thought.

Veronica after leaving that house, called her friend to meet him at a restaurant. She wanted to vent to someone.

THIAGO: What did that bad seed do to you this time?

VERONICA: He took his friend and her mother to our house and not content with that, he allowed them to insult and humiliate me.

THIAGO: Nikita, I told you that marriage wouldn't work, that idiot only married you to receive his inheritance.

VERONICA: Now I know... Valeri, I want a divorce, I don't want to be in this marriage anymore. _(shedding some tears)

THIAGO: If that's what you want, I'll tell my lawyers to help you.

VERONICA: I appreciate it, I can't stand this situation anymore and I don't think I can stand Santos giving more importance and respect to those women than to me who is his wife.

THIAGO: That wretch. I hope he doesn't regret it when he loses you.

VERONICA: I don't think he will.

THIAGO: If you're determined to get a divorce, I'll support you... Now let's eat, I'm hungry.

VERONICA: You're always hungry.

After eating with her friend, they both went to the movies. Thiago wanted the girl to forget for a moment what had happened in her marriage. After the movie, Veronica returned home, finding her husband smiling next to his guests.

PAMELA: Miss Garcia, you're back.

VERONICA: Why wouldn't I come back to my house?

ROMA: You should improve your behavior. As the Mrs. Riquehiros you leave much to be desired.

SANTOS: Veronica, behave yourself. Pamela was just welcoming you.

VERONICA: Who are not behaving are your guests.

SANTOS: Get ready, tonight we will go to celebrate your birthday.

VERONICA: Fine.

The girl went up to the room to shower and get ready for the outing, although she didn't really feel like going.

PAMELA: Are you going out tonight?

SANTOS: We will go out, go and get ready to go celebrate Veronica's birthday.

ROMA: I knew you wouldn't leave us alone at home.

PAMELA: Thank you Santos, but we don't have a gift for Veronica.

SANTOS: That doesn't matter, your presence is the most important thing.

ROMA: Santos is right, daughter, that woman should be grateful that we will accompany her on her birthday.

PAMELA: Okay.

SANTOS: Go and get ready.

The excited women went up to get ready to go out, although their excitement was because Santos was taking them into account and would not go out alone with Veronica. An hour later, Veronica came down to the living room.

VERONICA: We can go now.

SANTOS: Let's wait a little longer, Pamela and her mother will go with us.

VERONICA: Did you invite them to my birthday? Did you at least consider if I agreed?

SANTOS: Don't bother with nonsense, Veronica. They want to celebrate with you and congratulate you.
