6 years ago… Margaret is in her room, finishing combing her blonde hair, Gerard has a trial. importantand he knows that he will win it, so to celebrate, he will prepare a special dinner. Her little Charlize stirsin her womb, surely happy just like her. He walks out of there, coming face to face with Georgia. Forsome reason, her mother-in-law looks at her suspiciously, even hatefully, and since she’s not one to putup with much, she stops her to ask what’s going on. -Mother-in-law, I’ve realized that something ishappening, he doesn’t talk to me like he used to and he looks at me strangely, can you tell me what’sgoing on? “You know that perfectly,” Georgia tells him. I only treat you as you deserve. – That’s preciselywhat I don’t understand, because I don’t remember doing anything that offended her. -Look, silly girl. Youdon’t fool me with that little dead fly face, I already know what you did to my son – he lookscontemptuously at Margaret’s belly and then gives her a disgusted gesture -. But as soon as that girl isborn, I’ll tell him to do the paternity tests, because I’m sure she’s not his. . -She is …? Are you sayingthat I was unfaithful to your son? – Margaret says annoyed – Can you tell me where did she gettremendous lie? -Between heaven and earth nothing can be hidden, my dear… the wise words of awonderful writer and that she is absolutely right. As much as you want to hide your misdeeds, they willalways be known. -Ok, let’s say it’s true that I have a lover. Tell me, the day, the place, the time… thename of the aforementioned, I want proof of her accusation. -You don’t want to play the role of lawyerwith me – Georgia tells him -. Let it be enough for you to know that I already discovered you. She walksout of there, leaving Margaret totally upset. As she doesn’t know what to do, she goes to Darcy’s room,her best friend, to tell her what is happening and that she needs her help. She has never thought ofanother man other than Gerard. It’s just that even Hollywood actors don’t seem attractive to him. “Whythe hell do I want dried meat, if I have a tremendous steak.” When she calls her room, Darcy says theycan come in and sees her in front of her mirror, drying her hair. To her surprise, her friend who used to bebrown now has hair as blonde as hers. -Darcy… – she turns and smiles at him satisfied -. You lookbeautiful – Margaret says excitedly, approaching her -. I can’t believe it, you’re going to make Dan fall inlove again. “Don’t even mention that one to me,” Darcy says hatefully. There is only one man that

interests me, but he will already be for me. Tell me, I see you worried. -Yes, it’s just… Darcy, my mother-in-law thinks I have a lover and that my Charlize is not Gerard’s daughter. You have to help me-she saystaking her arm-. You know that I love your cousin, he is my first love, my only man… how could I deceivehim if he is the best man in the world, the one who makes me move the floor just thinking about him? –My aunt will say it for a reason – Darcy tells her with a tone of doubt and Margaret frowns -. someonemust tell her that lie, let’s talk to her. -Thanks. The two leave the room, but a couple of meters beforereaching the stairs, Darcy sees her opportunity, she takes Margaret’s arm and says with deep hatred. -Itold my aunt that you had a lover and that monster is not my Gerard. Darcy? What… what are youtalking about? – Margaret tells him, trying to get away from Darcy, but as soon as she sees the look ofher friend, she covers her belly with her free hand- -I’m talking about how I’m tired of seeing you happywith the love of my life, with my man. I brought you to this house because I felt sorry that everyone sawyou badly, for having less money than all of us and that’s how you pay me? Spreading my Gerard’slegs?! “Darcy, you hurt me!” -Margaret is scared, because that’s not her friend, not at all-Gerard is acousin, you can’t be in love with him… -I was the apple of his eye, but you came along and ruined mylife… but no more. -What…? Margaret lets go, but Darcy grabs her hair again this time, bringing tears tothe woman, who covers her belly with both hands. -Darcy, please… you’re my friend, I swear I forgiveyou everything, I won’t tell Gerard about this, just be careful, my daughter… “Your daughter of hers,” hetells her, pulling her closer and bringing her closer to her. She will not be born… and you will not continueto live either. He drags Margaret the remaining distance to the ladder and throws her down the laddermercilessly, hard and furiously, smiling as he watches the woman roll, unable to stop her fall and onlyprotecting her belly. When Margaret falls at the bottom of the stairs, she starts screaming hysterically. -Help!! Call an ambulance!! -her tears of emotion come out of her eyes, while everyone confuses themwith the anguish of seeing her friend lying there-. Please… don’t die. Inside she was screaming withemotion, because the unfortunate woman was going to die at last and she was going to stay with Gerard.Today… Darcy stood by the bed for a long time, imagining the joy she would get rid of Luz, rememberingthe way she had killed Margaret so she would disappear once and for all. once “Hello, Lucecita,” shewhispers in his ear. I came to kill you, like I did Margaret. I think I can tell you my darkest secret, because

it’s not just Gerard who’s a criminal. You’ll see her – caresses Luz’s hair and she smiles satisfied-Thatday was not an accident, I grabbed that fool by her hair and threw her down the stairs. “And I swear Ithought she was going to die, because pregnant and everything, that’s how it should have happened, atleast she was able to break her neck – she sighs and laughs. But since she didn’t die, I had to kill her.Meanwhile, behind her, someone opened the door slowly, thinking that a doctor was checking on Luz,but hearing the voice of a woman he knew, he stood with the door ajar and close to the wall, to hear whatthe woman was saying. saying. However, the last words forced him to cover his mouth so as not toscream in fury.
