Evening comes and Adelaide has no choice but to ask Irene for help again in preparing the dreaded dinner for Egil with that Ana Lupot, as he had requested before going to the office. She completely forgot about it and now she is desperate to arrive on time and not be scolded like in the morning.

Irene and she go together to the kitchen. The maids look at her with contempt, but a single warning look from Irene puts them all in their place.

"Mr. Egil will have dinner with Miss Ana tonight and requests that you take care of it," Adelaide informs them, and they all stand astonished that the wife herself is coming to say that her husband's mistress is going to come to have dinner with him. That is illogical from every point of view and demeaning for her, as she will be handing her man over to another woman. The cook nods and gets to work.

Adelaide has always been very observant and a good student. While the maids take care of preparing everything, she memorizes the whole process, observes

    In the main room of the Arrabal hacienda, Egil takes his third glass of wine before giving Ana Lupot permission to enter.Adelaide looks at the young woman and a strange feeling takes hold of her. She looks beautiful."Please, have a seat," Egil orders after greeting her with a kiss on her cheek. Adelaide shudders as she sees the way he treats her. She nods towards him and tries to leave, but Egil stops her."I didn't say you could leave," Adelaide stands still at the door. "You are staying.""I can come back when you're done with dinner," the young woman tries to find a reason to leave."I said you're staying! I want you to serve us," Egil insists.Adelaide turns around and nods. She knows she has no choice but to obey her husband's orders, but if she had a choice, she would prefer not to witness anything they do.Egil and Ana start talking in a very confident and intimate manner while they have dinner, which makes Adelaide quite uncomfortable.She is impressed by the way Egil treats

    "I know it may be a little annoying for you to think that someone else has your husband's attention," Irene continues, "but in Egil's case, I can assure you that he has no emotional connection with that woman. He doesn't even talk to her, other than what is strictly necessary. For him, it's just casual sex, and when he gets tired of it, he will stop seeking her.""Excuse me for contradicting you, ma'am, but your nephew has a lot of consideration for Petra. I believe the emotional connection that you say he doesn't have with Ana, he has with her. He didn't even want to listen to me when I tried to explain what had happened when I was punished.""Petra's case is different, my dear. She is a calculating and ambitious woman. Unfortunately, she took advantage of the right moment to appear as a heroine in Egil's eyes and has taken all possible benefits from that moment.""But if he keeps her here living on the estate, and moreover, serving him, you know how, it's because something attracted

    "It's most likely that if my cousin summons you to his room, his wife will stay to observe everything you do," Lidia taunts. Petra looks at her with contained anger, although right now, what she wants is to jump on her. She was warned by Egil that she must behave. Showing composure in her presence is her top priority now, not losing what she has worked so hard to achieve. "It seems Egil is taking his wife into serious consideration, so much so that he keeps her like a lapdog and doesn't let any maids attend to him, except her. They say she even chooses the outfits he wears every day.""That's true. My cousin seems quite attached to her. Moreover, now that she's in charge of the house, all the servants and guards respect her a lot," adds Sonia, sipping her tea. "With Aunt Irene's help, they're making a lot of changes in the cousin's routines, and there hasn't been a single objection from him.""What do you think Lilith makes of all this?" Lidia asks with all the malicious intent in the

    As Adelaide returns to her husband's room to prepare his bath, he still has his eyes closed. She kneels by his side, removes his shoes, and takes the opportunity to give him a few massages while searching for his robe.She has the bath ready in no time.When Egil gets up to go to the bathtub, he instantly notices the red mark on Adelaide's face. While she helps him take off his jacket, he looks at her closely. His fingers itch to tuck that strand of coppery hair falling gently over her forehead and to see the exact shade of her eyes."Who did this to you?" he asks in a firm but low tone. Adelaide looks directly into his eyes for a few seconds. "Who struck you in the face?""I had an encounter with Petra in the hallway on my way here," Adelaide hesitates. Egil looks at her with furrowed brows."She did this to you?" Egil takes her chin with his fingers and examines the red mark meticulously."Yes, it was her," Adelaide replies, swallowing hard as she speaks. She is very afraid of her h

    Nadia looks out the window for a long time to calm down. Nora saved her life and kept her hidden all this time so that no one could realize she had survived. She healed each of her wounds without even knowing her or asking for anything in return. She must trust her."Come and eat before your soup gets cold," the old woman says from the table. "Don't worry so much, I've already prepared what we'll use. It will be easy and fast."The woman's words make the young girl turn around. Nora points with her finger to some bottles with a blue liquid. Nadia saw her preparing them last night, but she thought they were some of those mixtures she takes to the hospital for lepers."What is that?" She approaches and tries to touch the bottle, but Nora stops her."Our weapon, Nadia," Nora simply replies. "Eat and try to rest because tomorrow will be a crucial day for the beginning of your revenge."Nadia nods and after helping the woman wash the dishes, she goes to rest as she was asked.The next morn

    "What does this mean?!" The man yells as he wakes up and finds himself completely bound by hands and feet to a large wooden beam hanging from the ceiling. "Why am I tied up?!"The place is foul-smelling and dark. It appears to be an old stable, with all kinds of animals roaming around. The roof is full of holes through which rainwater seeps, and there is only a puddle at his feet."Release me right now, because you won't be able to bear the consequences! You don't know who I am or what I am capable of."Nadia looks at him from a window behind her, with a macabre smile on her face that foreshadows the terrifying fate that awaits that man."The Sleeping Beauty has finally awakened," Nadia's voice startles him. He tries to turn around to see her position. "Or should I call you Lucio? Lucio Burnett, known thief, rapist, and murderer of women.""You can't accuse me of what you have no evidence of, you damn woman! My men will look for me, and when they find me, I'll finish what I didn't do

Did he see her bring that man into the car and followed her because of that? The policeman aims his gun at her as he approaches slowly."Miss Nadia Valencia, on behalf of your father, Bahram Valencia, I order you to come with me to the headquarters right now, before handing you over to your family," the policeman says, looking around cautiously in case there is someone else in the area."I am alone and unarmed, officer," Nadia says, seeking a truce. "There is no need for you to threaten me with your gun. What could I, a weak woman, do to fight against a big man like you?""I am not threatening you, miss. I am just making sure there is no one who will attack me by surprise.""I repeat, I am alone. If you wish, I can show you the rest

    Two weeks later, in Rome... "What does this mean, Benedict?! Is this why you wanted to come to Italy? Because of her? To look for her?" Pamela throws the folder on the table as she cries bitterly. She can no longer bear this situation, she is tired of fighting with the ghost of Adelaide and Gaspar. Benedict takes a napkin and wipes the coffee stains on his jacket caused by the folder hitting his cup, without the mood to respond to his wife's complaint. "I can't bear it anymore, you will never forget her. This obsession of yours with her has gone too far, I want to go home." Pamela walks over to the couch where she sits to alleviate the pain in her back. When she found the folder this morning among her husband's things, she couldn't believe what it said. "You can leave whenever you want," he says dryly but in a low tone. "No one forced you to come with me, or to get involved in things that are none of your business."

He inhales deeply, shamelessly, savoring the distinct aroma of woman that drives him crazy. Without any further preamble and on the verge of collapse, he assaults her intimate part.Adriano's tongue is having a party tonight.

Damn it! He knew nothing would be normal with her on their honeymoon, but this exceeds all his expectations. Emma is so beautiful she looks like a seductive angel.Immediately and without any preamble, he falls to his knees at her feet, placing his hands on her thighs and fixing his gaze on the smooth and kissable skin of that part of her body."I'm very excited, my husband," she says, running her fingers through Adriano's hair.

    In Rome, five years later..."Is this for real?" Adriano sets his champagne glass aside and approaches Emma, who is leaning on the terrace railing, but looking at him."Of course.

    "Isn't it the same thing you plan to do? Aren't you going to claim what you bought?" Pamela asks Benedict in a bitter tone while pointing at herself."Of course I will claim it," he responds dryly. "The difference is that I will be your husband. With me, you will have everything you never dreamed of having. I won't take you by force, but that doesn't guarantee that when you decide to be with me, I won't be hard with you, because that's how I like to fuck. You will be Mrs. Arrabal, the mother of my heirs, my wife."An overwhelming silence envelops them at that moment. Pamela doesn't even know how to respond to that.He extends his hand to her and Pamela takes a few seconds to take it. Benedict puts her on his lap, just like he had hundreds of times with Adelaide.

She responds immediately, quite offended. "I don't even know him.""I don't see what the problem is; it's just whiskey," Benedict replies, pointing to the glass but at the same time smiling in a way that disturbs Pamela. "What did you think?""Nothing," she responds, realizing she misspoke."Alright, are you leaving or not?" he asks as he searches for something in his drawers. "It's late, and I need to sleep.""So, you don't mind me going alone at this time of night?" she questions as if that's a problem for him."No," Benedict responds as he puts on his boxers.
