Episode 2

Arriving at the hospital:

Doctor: Miss, I'm sorry, your father has passed away. We couldn't do anything, he ingested a highly toxic poison.

Alison: Poison? No, father, why?

She kneels on the ground, her crying wouldn't stop.

It was a rainy day, Alison ran to the plaza, she sat on her favorite spot, cried desperately, not knowing what to do. Despite having everything before, she was now poor. She couldn't continue her studies, where would she live?

Thousands of questions filled her mind.

It was a gray day, she went to prepare for the funeral, sold all her jewelry to pay for it.

At the funeral, her uncles who lived in the country J arrived. Her uncle Juvenal (her father's brother), his wife Angela, their two children Ana and Leo.

Juvenal: Alison, we are sorry. You will now live with us.

Alison: Thank you, Uncle. Prepare my suitcases.

Ana: Hurry up! We'll leave right after the funeral.

Angela: Yes, Ana has to attend a party.

Leo: Yes, I'll also attend.

The funeral ends, Alison, devastated, goes to get her suitcase with clothes.

They travel to the country J and arrive at her uncle's mansion.

Juvenal: Your father never knew how to deal with stress.

Angela: Don't be so hard on him.

Ana: Mother, where will she sleep?

Angela: In the servants' room, the small one in the garage.

Ana: I'll take you there, cousin, so you don't get lost.

Ana takes Alison to a small room in the garage.

Alison: Thank you, cousin.

Leo arrives.

Leo: Hurry up, Ana, go get ready.

Ana leaves.

Leo: Cousin, it's been a long time since I saw you. You look really good, to be honest.

Alison: Thank you, Leo.

Leo: It wouldn't be so bad if I get lost tonight, right?

Alison: We're cousins.

Leo: Just saying.

Leo leaves. That day they went to a party, Alison arranges her room, made sure to lock it securely.

At night, she locks her room with double security. In the middle of the night, she hears someone trying to open her door.

Leo: Cousin, do you want to play for a while?

Alison decided not to answer, pretending to be asleep would be easier.

Meanwhile, in country A:

A week had passed without seeing her. The rain had stopped, and Alex was back at the restaurant, impatient to see her again.

She always came to that plaza at 4 p.m., but it was already 6 p.m., and she hadn't arrived. Alex left disappointed and angry, feeling as if he had been stood up for a date.

Three days went by, everything remained the same, Alison didn't show up.

John: Sir, do you want me to find out about her?

Alex: Fine.

Indignant, he stands up and leaves for his mansion.

That same night, John knocks on his office door.

John: Sir, I have the information.

Alex: Come in, what happened?

John: Her father passed away, her uncles took her to live in country J. Sir, shall we go get her?

Alex: No! Her presence distracts me too much. I'll let her mature on her own.

John: Are you sure, sir? Her family isn't very...

Alex interrupts him.

Alex: I won't do it! Let's forget about this topic, and sell the restaurant.

John: Very well, sir.

Alex was furious, he couldn't believe what he was feeling. Just by seeing her, he already felt that she was a very important woman to him. But this couldn't happen. That same night, he called some women to keep him company. He needed to forget about that girl.
