Episode 14

They arrived at the bar, Almendra with Alison, immediately catching attention. Alison's long hair and curves didn't go unnoticed.

They sat at a table.

Almendra: I don't see Mr. Alex.

Alison: Tell Alex.

Almendra: Are you crazy? He would kill me.

Some guys approached.

Guys: Can we buy you drinks?

Alison: No.

Almendra: We're accompanied.

The guys left.

Clark watched them from a corner. Alison and Almendra went to the dance floor, dancing together. At that moment, Alberto appeared. He observed the girl, looking familiar. He approached stealthily; she was the girl he had bought from Juvenal. He grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him.

Alison: Let go, pervert.

Alberto: You're mine.

Alison: What are you talking about?

Alberto: I bought you from your uncle.

Alison: My uncle sold me?

Alberto: Yes, that night we closed the deal at the party.

Alberto tried to kiss Alison.

Clark arrived and punched him. Alberto's guards intervened, grabbed Clark, and started beating him.

In that moment, Almendra sought help but couldn't find Alex. She then spotted Alex leaving the VIP lounge with another man.

Almendra: Mr. Alex, help!

Alex: Who are you?

Almendra: Alison's friend. She's in trouble; a man wants to take her away.

Alex: What?

Alex rushed after Almendra and found Clark being beaten and Alison held by Alberto's arms.

Alex: (angrily) Who the hell gave you the right to touch my woman?

Alberto saw Alex and immediately released Alison.

Alberto: Is she your woman?

Alex: She's my wife.

The men released Clark, and Almendra rushed to check on his condition.

Alberto: I'm sorry, sir. I made a mistake; I thought she was someone else.

Alex approached Alberto.

Alex: I'll cut your hands off.

Alison: Please, Alex.

Juaquin: Alex, it's not worth it. He understands he can't touch Alison.

Alison was crying.

Alison: Alex, let's go.

Alison didn't want Alex to know that she had been sold by her uncle, let alone that she had lost her virginity that night, possibly to that man. At that moment, her dignity was shattered.

Alberto: Sir, I promise it won't happen again.

Alex: That better be true, or you won't have hands to touch anyone.

Alex lunged at Alberto, pulling out a knife to cut his hands.

Alison: Alex! (She screamed, crying)

At that same instant, Alex looked at her, and Alison fainted.

Alex: Alison.

Alex carried her and took her to the mansion. Meanwhile, Almendra was escorted home by some of Alex's men, and Clark was taken to the hospital.

In the mansion, Alex laid Alison on her bed.

Alison woke up.

Alison: You didn't cut his hands?

Alex: Does it matter to you? (angrily)

Alison: I didn't want you to incriminate yourself. I don't want a husband in jail.
