LADY ALTAGRACIA
Lydia.
You're awake!
Hi.
Don't worry. Everything's okay.
Can she talk?
No, the doctor said she couldn't, remember?
Don't exert yourself, Lydia.
That's good to know
because otherwise, she'd be talking already.
Don't worry, sweetie
You're going to be alright.
Hey,
we heard that a young man was here when she first came to.
Do you know who he was or where he is?
Here you go. These are the transfers.
Now leave.
I want to be alone.
-Yes, ma'am. -Thanks.
I knew I'd made a mistake the moment I got on that plane.
I let my insecurities and my fears get the best of me,
but I'm here now, because I've had enough.
I will get Saul back.
It's great that Lydia's awake.
She can't talk yet, but yeah.
Well, she's a really strong girl.
She's always had a lot of chutzpah.
Well, I've just checked Lydia and she's doing better.
That's great, Adolfo. Thanks.
You don't look so good, doc.
You should go rest.
No, I still have a lot of patients I need to see.
Don't you ever sleep?
Look, we'll go to your office right now.
You need to rest.
I'm saying this on behalf of all your patients,
Saul included.
-He needs to take care, right? -Yes, of course.
We all agree.
You're very important and we need to watch out for you too.
To be honest, that doctor's a really great catch.
He'd be great for Monica. He's so handsome!
I'm sorry, Mr. Rafael,
but I've been waiting a long time for you,
even your secretary's gone.
What you asked of me wasn't simple,
but I've already worked it out.
I talked to your boss.
You'll be suspended for a few days for appearances' sake.
You're a lucky guy.
What you did to that doctor was no small thing.
You could've been fired, tried in court,
and even sent to prison.
I understand, sir. I lost my senses.
I'm sorry.
I mean, my statement did save your son.
You were just returning the favor.
Yes, well, that statement just saved you.
You chose the right side, Gabino.
Lopecito, this is the perfect time to fight back.
I'm getting everything ready.
It won't be easy, bro.
It's like David and Goliath.
People love bringing that up,
but they never remember who actually won.
In any case, thanks for the concern.
See you.
Bye.
Ximena, why do I keep seeing you everywhere?
Altagracia? Come in.
Good evening, Saul.
What were you doing with those pictures?
Updating your relationship status with Ximena?
She's back and...
Yes, I know and I guess I was right.
We're not together anymore, right?
You're with her now?
Ximena and I are done and you know that.
I'm in love with you.
What about this picture? You look great together.
Ximena's in the picture, but you're here.
Shall I show you the difference?
What?
You should've seen the look on Saul's face
when you left with the doctor.
I think he's jealous.
You're making things up, Mago. Come on!
Monica!
I heard Lydia's out of the coma.
Why didn't anyone call me?
You should ask a nurse if you can see her.
Come on.
Are you still upset with me? Even during a time like this?
Fine, Monica.
I know that you already know I lied.
You want to know
what secrets there are between me and Altagracia
and I'm going to tell you the truth.
I know the difference between that picture and me.
I hope you know that you didn't have to blackmail Ximena
to drive her away.
I won't lie.
I did blackmail her, but it's not my fault
that she didn't fight for you,
but chose to take the money and the job.
Unlike Ximena, I'm willing to fight for the man I love.
The last time we saw each other,
you said you didn't want to see me again.
What can I say?
I tried living without you, but I couldn't.
Do you want me to tell you that I got jealous
the moment I heard Ximena was back
and that that's why I'm here?
-Is that what you want? -Yes.
Fine, I give up. I admit it, Saul.
I can't live without you.
Saul, what am I supposed to do about you?
People around me can't stand you
and your family can't stand me.
I won't let others get in the way.
We need to find a place where it's just us and no one else.
How about we start in my room?
Huh?
Go ahead, Yesenia.
I want to know everything about you and Lady Altagracia.
At least tell me something I don't know already.
I'm good at reading people.
I was suspicious the moment you got upset this morning
after your father and I told you that we're together.
Alright, I'm sure you are good at reading people
and all those things, but I honestly can't believe
that you're an honest person.
I don't need you to explain anything to me.
I owe you an explanation.
Yes, I'm Regina and Altagracia's aunt.
Who told you? Your niece Regina?
Because I didn't tell her anything.
What? Are you going to lie again?
Look, I don't want to lie to you.
Sweetie, come on.
I can assure you there's an explanation.
That's what I said,
but there's a reason you hid everything.
Yes, but it's a long story.
Don't you want to know everything?
I guess you'll eventually find out.
That's unless Mrs. Regina told you everything.
So yes, I'm working for Lady Altagracia now.
She offered me a good job and I took it.
That's why I was there that night.
And yes, I heard everything.
I'm sorry you had to find out this way.
You've got every right to be upset with me.
I should've told you from the start, but I couldn't.
Yes, but you didn't tell me, Yesenia!
Why couldn't you tell me?
You said you loved me like a daughter,
but if that were true, you wouldn't have betrayed me.
I didn't betray you, Monica.
I just neglected to tell you the truth
until it was the right time.
When I first saw you in my house
and I saw how much familiarity there was between you and Dad,
I even thought that you might be my mother.
I asked you, didn't I?
Yes, you did and I told you that I'm not, because I'm not.
There you go.
What about the day Saul was shot?
You were nervous and worried
because Lady Altagracia and I knew each other.
I was honest and I told you that I was in love with Saul.
You probably had a big laugh knowing that they were lovers.
No, on the contrary, Monica.
I've always wanted to protect you.
From what From whom?
Lydia saw you arguing with Regina,
but you both said you didn't know each other.
She said she was your client, but she's actually your niece.
Regina couldn't tell you the truth either.
Will you look at that. You're two grown women.
Don't tell me Altagracia kept both your mouths shut?
Come on, Yesenia. I'm not stupid.
Don't tell me you're scared of her.
But I am. I am scared of her.
Altagracia's very dangerous.
Neither Regina nor I told you we're related,
because Altagracia forbade us.
You were there!
You heard her! She hates me.
She's embarrassed to admit we're family.
Then why'd you decide to confront her?
Why'd you go to her house and say all those things
in front of a bunch of people you don't know,
and not tell me?
Because of your father.
I did it for your father.
I don't need anyone else to do anything for me.
I shouldn't have lied to my daughter.
Now Monica won't believe anything I tell her.
Yesenia told me that Monica's been spending a lot of time
at the hospital taking care of Lydia.
Lazaro, if you go to the tenement now,
you might run into that man that Altagracia sent.
This can't be happening, Felipe.
I can't even go back to my home.
Altagracia's ruined my life again.
I understand, because it's the same for me.
Right now I can't shake the feeling that I'm useless.
Be careful!
That's what she did to me.
She made me feel like I was nothing.
Well, with me it's working.
All I've ever done is politics. It's all I know.
But now I have no idea what to do.
Every single night I have to fight the urge to...
Drink, because you want the day to end faster.
Yes.
Every night feels eternal.
I need to forget everything.
I need to disappear and escape from this place.
I know very well what you're talking about,
but you have to fight the urge
unless you want to end up like me.
You can still save yourself, Felipe.
Yesenia, what does my father have to do with Altagracia?
Nothing and that's my point.
My problems with Altagracia have nothing to do with him.
Then why are you saying that you confronted her for him?
Because Lazaro's always known that I'm Altagracia's aunt.
He knows about the rage
and the pain her rejections caused me to feel.
She's never treated me kindly.
He knew that Altagracia had forbidden me
from telling the truth and he kept it secret too.
Does he know you changed your mind and went to see her?
Yes.
We used to be friends and confidants,
but now, we're together.
We love each other, Mona.
I'm allowing myself to love
and that's why I wanted to end all the lies.
That's why I went to that place.
Yes, I made a scene and I was making demands,
but that's just who I am.
It's not like it worked anyway. Altagracia kicked me out.
I didn't see that either, because Regina kicked me out.
Yeah, Regina kicked you out last night,
but tomorrow it'll be Altagracia,
because that's just who she is.
Get out of there, Monica.
What?
Do you really want to work
for someone who despises her own family?
