The evil husband laughs out loud when he hears the idle threats of the homeless man who is now dressed in a suit.

-Get out of my sight and go back to the street and pick up trash to feed yourself. -he gritted his teeth.

Jandé's mouth dropped open at the way her husband is heading towards her boss Imanol. She is trembling with fear and doesn't dare to say a word to avoid the staring battle between the two men, well, she can't utter a word because her throat is pressed with her husband's fingers.

-What are you waiting for, get out before I kick you out! -he ordered again with authority.

Imanol did not stop and punched him in the face. The evil man moved his hands away from the girl and wanted to approach Imanol to grab him with blows, however, the other one was smarter and stopped him in time, managing to throw him to the ground and stabilize him.

-Listen to me, you fucking bastard. If you ever lay a finger on this girl again, you'll regret it for the rest of your life. -Imanol threatened him.

Then he grabbed him by the neck to lift him up and threw him out of the house, but not before telling him that they had something to talk about that he couldn't mention a word to Jandé.

Imanol slammed the door, he has discovered the secret of that couple and now his blood boils with rage because of the man who wants to damage the reputation of his splendid assistant.

For some time now he has been attracted to Jandé, but he does not dare to say so because he fears rejection. In addition, an event in the past does not allow him to relate in a sentimental way with women.

Now he feels the need to protect her at all costs and is willing to help her in whatever she asks of him in order to get her away from her evil husband.

-Are you all right? -If you prefer, I can take you to the doctor,” he proposed, eager to hug her and comfort her nervousness.

-Yes, I'm fine, boss, fortunately it didn't happen. I thank you for your unexpected visit, I swear you saved my life and I have to thank you for the rest of it. Any favor you need, do not hesitate to let me know and I will help you.

-Oh, no, don't do that. I came by chance, I came to drop off your stuff you left in the car and to be honest I didn't like the act I witnessed.

-Thank you, boss, I forgot them for a reason, otherwise you wouldn't have come and maybe you would already be regretting coming home early. - He commented with his voice between cuts.

-No kidding, but who is that man and why did he come here?

-That man... that damned man is my husband. - Jandé mentioned with his eyes on the ground and full of shame.

-Husband? -he asked, pretending to be surprised.

Actually, he didn't know his assistant was married. It was only the night before that he recognized Jandé in a photograph the man had shown him so that he could see how beautiful the girl he would sleep with for a good payment was. For obvious reasons, Imanol did not bother Jandé and, when they took him into the house, he could only lie down next to him in silence.

-I'm sorry, I didn't know you were married, your appearance makes you look very young.

-And I am, but I made the mistake of getting married at a young age and now I'm regretting it. Today I regret having ignored my parents' warnings, they were right when they told me that Dario didn't look like a good person and I let myself be carried away by the looks of the man who wanted me and swore to be in love with me unconditionally.

-What do you mean by warnings? -he asks with interest.

-Oh, no, that's a very personal thing and I don't think you care.

Boss, I'm sorry I haven't offered you anything, I've been scared out of my mind. Would you like some water or would you like me to make you a coffee?

-Don't worry, I have to go back to the company, I still have some unfinished business. I hope your husband doesn't show up again, in his state he could hurt you. You know he's drunk, don't you?

-There's no doubt about it, he lives here and I can't do anything to prevent him from coming back in a few hours.

Imanol left, but he didn't trust himself and sent several security men to keep watch and not allow Jandé's husband to enter. She is his assistant and she is not going to allow a freeloader to take advantage of her.

The next day, Jandé shows up for work. Her neck is covered in makeup to try to hide the marks left by her husband's fingers when he kept pressuring her to give him the money he was asking for to go to his games.

Imanol informed her that this morning they will go to the meeting they have had scheduled for a few days with several investors. It is out of town and it is likely that they will return until the next day, that is why he asked her to bring some clothes in case that happens.

Little did they know that this trip would be interrupted by an unexpected event that will force them to immerse themselves in a big lie that will soon change their lives.

Now riding in the car, Jandé feels very sorry for the episode her boss witnessed yesterday. Meanwhile, Imanol is burning with the desire to ask her what is the problem she has with her husband that makes him hate her so much and to offer his help in whatever she needs.

He was deep in thought when he received a call from the maid at home, informing him that his mother has been taken to the clinic for serious health problems and that her presence is urgently needed.
