Episode 5

Rebeca narrating..

While I'm talking to my cousins, I glimpse Leonardo heading towards Fiorella. I excuse myself and go to him.

Rebeca:_Honey? Did something happen?

Leonardo:_I'll be right back.

Rebeca:_Leonardo, it's our engagement dinner. Fiorella dumped you. Will you never tire of this obsession with her? Give me a chance? I love you, I've always loved you, and you know it.

It was my last card, I had to try.

Leonardo looks at me for a long time and, with a mocking smile, he replies.

Leonardo:_Do you really think making that angelic face will manipulate me? I'm not my grandmother, Rebeca. Understand once and for all, I don't love you. This marriage is a deal, a business, and you know it. Isn't marrying me what you wanted so much? You got it, but don't confuse things, I'm disgusted by you! I'll never take you to bed. If it depends on me, you'll die dry! Because my body and soul belong to Fiorella, and you'll never be in her league! Oh, before I forget, stop bothering Fiorella, stop sending her threatening emails and messages! She's not to blame for anything!

Rebeca:_Leonardo, I never said anything to her! Where did you get that from?

Leonardo:_Liar! Stop threatening her, or I'll ruin you! I swear I'll turn your life into hell!

Leonardo leaves me in the middle of the hall and leaves with Fiorella.

Marcela:_Friend? What's wrong?

Rebeca:_Nothing.

Marcela:_Where did Leonardo go?

Rebeca:_To the bathroom, let's go, I want to get a soda.

I walk away with Marcela and we go to the bar. I don't want her to know what was happening. She knew Fiorella was here, but she didn't bring it up. She knew it made me very upset.

Some time later...

Outside, in the boat garage, Fiorella and Leonardo were kissing.

Fiorella:_I missed you so much.

Leonardo:_I missed you too.

Meanwhile, at the party...

Violeta:_Darling, where is Leonardo? He's been gone for a while.

Fiorella:_He must be around talking to his friends. I'll look for him.

Violeta:_Yes, dear, go ahead.

It was a nautical club, the part that gives access to the lake was closed, as the party was in the hall. I looked everywhere and couldn't find Leonardo. I don't know why I decide to go that way. I start walking, but I start hearing voices. I notice Brandon with his four idiot friends. They seem to be smoking something that didn't look like a cigarette. When I come across them, I start to turn back when Brandon notices and comes after me.

Brandon:_Sister! What are you doing here?

Rebeca:_Nothing, just a walk, I'm going back now.

Brandon starts laughing.

Brandon:_I know you're looking for the fiance. He passed by here not long ago. He was with Fiorella, they were holding hands, they make a beautiful couple, you know?

Rebeca:_Where did they go?

Brandon:_Over there in the boat garage, they must be having a lot of fun.

I pass by Brandon's friends who seemed to be drunk, they laugh and I walk to the place. I get close and hear some of their conversation. What I didn't realize was that Brandon was behind me. Fiorella saw me, Leonardo was turned away and didn't even realize I was there spying.

Fiorella:_I'm going to kill myself! Leo, I can't live without you! I'd rather die!

Leonardo:_No, my love!

Things happen very quickly, she runs to the lake, I follow them both, she jumps into the water.

Brandon:_Go too, let's see who he saves.

It was very fast, Brandon throws me into the water too, knowing that I can't swim.

Leonardo:_Fiorella! Don't do that!

Leonardo jumps into the water and goes towards Fiorella while I struggled screaming for someone to save me. Brandon and his friends laughed and mocked me while I swallowed a lot of water.

Leonardo finally looks at me, startled.

Brandon:_She knows how to swim, she's doing this so you save her too, you know she doesn't miss the opportunity to try to imitate Fiorella! Let her get out on her own!

Leonardo gets out of the water with Fiorella while I struggled non-stop.

Rebeca:_Get me out of here, I can't swim!

Leonardo, already out of the water with Fiorella in his arms, turns to me and says:

Leonardo:_Stop the nonsense, get out of there! You're ruining your beautiful engagement dinner! I don't have time for your nonsense! Spoiled girl!

Leonardo enters with Fiorella while I drown, Brandon and his friends follow.

Keith:_Hey! Aren't you going to get her out of there?

Brandon:_She knows how to get out on her own, she wants attention, never mind, when she realizes that Leonardo doesn't care about her, she ends up leaving. She should be an actress because she acts very well.

They leave me there to die.
