Short filmTranscript
00:00:00I'm Sofia Mendoza, Harris to the Mendoza Group.
00:00:03I've done some crazy things in my life, but the craziest?
00:00:06Today I'm spending $200 million to propose to my fiancé's own brother.
00:00:10Yeah, I'm putting a ring on it and a green hat on him.
00:00:14Alejandro, this is $200 million. I need you to marry me.
00:00:17What do you mean? You're engaged to Matias, my brother.
00:00:20I'm breaking it off with him.
00:00:21Had a fight? So now you want to marry his brother out of spite and disgust me in the process?
00:00:26I'm serious.
00:00:27I'll pretend I didn't hear any of that.
00:00:28Alejandro, every woman in town wanted him, but he never cared.
00:00:31What I didn't know then was that his rejection wasn't accidental.
00:00:34He'd been hiding how he felt for years.
00:00:36And he almost gave himself away right there in front of me.
00:00:39I mean it. Please, marry me.
00:00:42Then tell me, what exactly did he do that's so unforgivable?
00:00:46Three months ago at the graduation party, Matias gave my favorite roses to another woman.
00:00:51Right in front of everyone. That's when it hit me.
00:00:54I was the joke in this relationship.
00:00:56Sofia, let me explain.
00:00:57Let's call off the engagement.
00:00:59What? Over one flower?
00:01:00One flower?
00:01:01Matias, on your birthday you didn't apply to a single text. Who were you with?
00:01:04Last week I had surgery and you said you were on a trip. Where'd you go?
00:01:08That necklace you gave me on Valentine's Day, did you even pick it out yourself?
00:01:10Sofia, there are reasons for all of that.
00:01:13Right. You always have a reason.
00:01:15Your apologies are always right on time.
00:01:18You even say never again, so convincing me.
00:01:20But Matias, I'm done hearing it.
00:01:22Camila and I really are just-
00:01:24You don't need to explain who she is.
00:01:26Just have one question.
00:01:29Do you love her?
00:01:34You can't even say no.
00:01:35I can't explain it.
00:01:37But I don't want to lose you.
00:01:40Can't explain it. That's the clearest answer there is.
00:01:42Let's end the engagement. We're done.
00:01:45His face wasn't surprised. It was guilt.
00:01:48Maybe he'd been waiting for me to say it for a long time.
00:01:51He just didn't have the guts to go first.
00:01:53Fine. I'll be the one to end it.
00:01:55You want to use me to cut things off with Matias? Give me one reason I should say yes.
00:01:58Your grandfather's been pushing you to get married.
00:02:00If we marry, the family engagement stays intact.
00:02:01You stop getting nagged, and both companies keep the project moving.
00:02:04Once it's all settled, we divorce three, four years max.
00:02:06And you walk away with 200 million for free.
00:02:08Three birds, one stump.
00:02:09The way you put it, you'd think I need the money.
00:02:11Then what do you need?
00:02:12Nothing.
00:02:13Sorry, but my marriage is my decision.
00:02:15No need for Miss Mendoza to worry about it.
00:02:17But right as he walked out, his lips curved.
00:02:19Just barely.
00:02:20He was laughing at me.
00:02:21The coldest billionaire in the city was laughing at me.
00:02:27Valeria, he said no.
00:02:28What?
00:02:29He turned down 200 million?
00:02:30Is he insane?
00:02:31Yep.
00:02:32Totally bulletproof.
00:02:33So what now?
00:02:34More money.
00:02:34I'm going back tomorrow.
00:02:36No way.
00:02:36I can't crack him.
00:02:37When I said I'm going back tomorrow, even I thought it was funny.
00:02:40Me, Sofia Mendoza.
00:02:42I've never chased anyone in my life, let alone someone who just rejected me.
00:02:46But what I didn't know was, he was waiting for tomorrow too.
00:02:49Even more than I was.
00:02:51Day two.
00:02:52I'm back.
00:02:52I knew it would be a tough negotiation, but I was going to win.
00:02:58210 million.
00:03:02220 million.
00:03:05230 million.
00:03:06He didn't even turn around, like he was listening to an auction that had nothing to do with him.
00:03:13231 million, 50,000.
00:03:15Take it or leave it.
00:03:17Why'd you stop?
00:03:21That's literally all my money.
00:03:25And if I still say no?
00:03:26I'll find someone else.
00:03:28Someone else?
00:03:29You'd marry a stranger?
00:03:31Aren't you a stranger too?
00:03:32The second I said aren't you a stranger too, his eyes changed.
00:03:36It wasn't anger, it was more like that one word, stranger, stung him.
00:03:40Hard.
00:03:42He didn't even ask if I wanted water, just poured me a glass.
00:03:45I was thirsty, sure.
00:03:46But I couldn't tell if it was a coincidence or if he'd been quietly paying attention to me this whole
00:03:50time.
00:03:51I don't need the money.
00:03:52What?
00:03:53Keep your money.
00:03:53But I have three conditions.
00:03:56Go on.
00:03:57First, to the outside world, we're a real couple.
00:04:00Second, you can't treat me like a prop.
00:04:02And the third?
00:04:05Everything, leave it to me.
00:04:07You're not going to ask why I want to break off the engagement?
00:04:10The priority is solving the problem, isn't it?
00:04:15So, should we sign a contract?
00:04:19No need.
00:04:21There's a camera.
00:04:22I didn't expect him to refuse every penny.
00:04:24When he said leave it to me, his voice was so flat, like he was reading the weather.
00:04:28But those six words, it took me a long time to understand their weight.
00:04:31That was his deepest promise to me.
00:04:33Can I ask you for one thing?
00:04:34Go ahead.
00:04:35It's okay if you don't like me.
00:04:37But you can't be mean to me.
00:04:39What counts as mean?
00:04:41I don't know.
00:04:41I just, I can't stand being treated badly.
00:04:44If I am, I'll make a scene.
00:04:46Okay.
00:04:46Just, okay?
00:04:48You won't have to.
00:04:49When he said that, his eyes completely changed.
00:04:51It was like I'd accidentally hit a switch he'd been hiding for years.
00:04:54I just didn't get it yet.
00:04:56That behind all that coldness was the most protective love I'd ever seen.
00:05:03Sir, everyone's in the conference room.
00:05:08Well, you're busy.
00:05:09I'll go.
00:05:10Fernando will drive you.
00:05:11No need.
00:05:12I drove here.
00:05:14Your front left tire pressure is low.
00:05:15It's safer if he drives you.
00:05:18How do you know my tire pressure is low?
00:05:22I couldn't believe it.
00:05:24I'd been there less than 20 minutes and he'd already checked my car.
00:05:26The whole ride home, I could only think about one thing.
00:05:29If it wasn't about the money, then why did he say yes?
00:05:32Soon, I'd find out.
00:05:33And that answer kept me up all night.
00:06:03Hello?
00:06:33Alejandro, I started packing for Peru.
00:06:34Some things don't need to be said out loud.
00:06:36His silence already answered for him.
00:06:39After that, I traveled across South America.
00:06:41In four months, I didn't think about Matias once.
00:07:12But I kept thinking about someone else.
00:07:13Then come.
00:07:14What I promised, I'll keep.
00:07:16He said then come.
00:07:18Flat as a weather report.
00:07:20But somehow his voice calmed me down instantly.
00:07:22It was like hearing someone say it's fine in the middle of a storm.
00:07:25You know it's not fine, but you believe them anyway.
00:07:28You'd better not let me down.
00:07:29Hmm.
00:07:30I'll be waiting for you to come give me trouble.
00:07:34Please, Alejandro.
00:07:35You're the only one who can help me.
00:07:37I really can't marry Matias.
00:07:39You won't lie to me, right?
00:07:41Get some rest.
00:07:42Come home.
00:07:50He said come home.
00:07:51Not come back to the country, but come home.
00:07:54Like the place I was going back to wasn't a country.
00:07:56It was a person.
00:07:57What I didn't know then was that waiting for me back there wasn't just a broken engagement.
00:08:01But a man who'd been building an entire street for me since five years ago.
00:08:07Four months.
00:08:08The second the plane touched down, I could smell palm trees and the caramel sweetness of toasted crace.
00:08:13I was home.
00:08:15I caught myself scanning the crowd for him, then laughed at myself.
00:08:18A billionaire CEO doesn't pick people up at the airport.
00:08:21Hazelnut oak milk.
00:08:22My favorite.
00:08:22The cup was still warm.
00:08:23He timed it to my landing.
00:08:25Valeria, he didn't come.
00:08:26But he sent a car.
00:08:27And there's a coffee in the back seat.
00:08:30Hazelnut oat milk.
00:08:31Bah, babe.
00:08:33Since when does a business partner remember what coffee you drink?
00:08:35Wake up.
00:08:37Bye, bye, bye.
00:08:38You're blushing.
00:08:39It wasn't blushing.
00:08:40It was...
00:08:40Okay, she was right.
00:08:41But I wasn't going to admit it.
00:08:42Regina greeted me at the door.
00:08:44Big smile.
00:08:45But her hands were clenched.
00:08:47I noticed.
00:08:47Come, come, come.
00:08:48Let Grandpa see.
00:08:50Did you get a tan out there?
00:08:52Grandpa, no way.
00:08:54I put on three layers of sunscreen.
00:08:56Mendoza jeans.
00:08:57We don't tan.
00:08:58By the way, where's Matias?
00:09:00He didn't pick you up from the airport?
00:09:01Grandpa has a weak heart.
00:09:02I couldn't tell him we were breaking off the engagement.
00:09:04Not now.
00:09:04Young people are busy with work.
00:09:06Matias is on a business trip.
00:09:07No rush seeing him.
00:09:08Right.
00:09:08He's traveling.
00:09:09He'll be back soon.
00:09:16Sophia, you were gone four months.
00:09:18Poor Matias had a tough time alone.
00:09:22Thank you for your concern, Auntie Regina.
00:09:27After the wedding, stop running around.
00:09:30Stay by his side.
00:09:31And start calling me mom.
00:09:34Both family's projects are riding on you and Matias.
00:09:37You're a smart girl.
00:09:39You know what's at stake, right?
00:09:40When she said, call me mom, her grip was ten times heavier than her smile.
00:09:44What she didn't know was, I'd already gone running to the other son.
00:09:47The one she raised.
00:09:55I need to tell you something.
00:09:56I had no idea if it was good news or bad.
00:09:59I stared at see you tomorrow for a long time.
00:10:02Three simple words, but somehow they made my heart race.
00:10:05And when he told me the next day, it changed everything.
00:10:08He sent Fernando to pick me up, said we needed to talk.
00:10:12There was a folder on the desk.
00:10:13Thick.
00:10:14His expression made me nervous.
00:10:16Matias and Camila.
00:10:17It's not rumors.
00:10:17It's real.
00:10:19How do you know?
00:10:20I looked into it.
00:10:23For how long?
00:10:27Four months.
00:10:30Four months?
00:10:30You weren't doing nothing.
00:10:32You were investigating the whole time?
00:10:36The wedding announcement was to pressure him.
00:10:39Force him to face reality.
00:10:41Tonight, I'm meeting Matias.
00:10:42He picks.
00:10:44What do you want him to choose?
00:10:47I want him to choose what he actually wants.
00:10:52I wasn't there.
00:10:53Fernando told me everything word for word afterward.
00:10:57You investigated me.
00:10:59Who are you to judge me?
00:11:02I'm not judging you.
00:11:04I'm giving you a choice.
00:11:07Camila or Sofia, pick one.
00:11:11I don't want to give up either of them.
00:11:14Then you'll lose both.
00:11:16Fernando said he was watching from the hallway, hands shaking, because he'd never seen Alejandro
00:11:22with that look in his eyes.
00:11:24It wasn't anger.
00:11:25It was absolute certainty.
00:11:28Your choice.
00:11:29I got it.
00:11:30Camila helped me back then.
00:11:31I can't give her up.
00:11:33Hmm.
00:11:34I don't quite get it.
00:11:36But you don't owe me an explanation.
00:11:38Bro, take care of Sofia for me.
00:11:45What I do and what happens between us, that's none of your business anymore.
00:11:50He said, take care of Sofia for me.
00:11:52Alejandro heard it, but he wasn't doing it because his brother asked.
00:11:55He never needed anyone to tell him to be good to someone.
00:11:58He just needed a reason, and Matias handed him one.
00:12:01He gave the umbrella to his brother and walked into the rain himself.
00:12:08White shirt soaked through, but his pace didn't change.
00:12:13The first thing he did when he got back to his office was make a phone call.
00:12:17To the civil registry.
00:12:21The next morning, he came to pick me up.
00:12:23The first thing out of his mouth was, let's go get our marriage license.
00:12:28Everyone was called to the villa.
00:12:30My heart was pounding so loud I could hear it.
00:12:32Palms drenched, but I didn't dare wipe them because he was standing right next to me.
00:12:35What's so important it has to be said in person?
00:12:38The engagement between Matias and Sofia is off.
00:12:43What do you mean?
00:12:46Grandpa, I'm not good enough for Sofia.
00:12:48Nonsense! What not good enough? Matias, don't say things like that!
00:12:51Quiet!
00:12:52When Matias said not good enough, he wasn't being humble.
00:12:55He meant it.
00:12:56I felt a pang of softness for a split second.
00:12:58But only a second.
00:12:59What about the joint project?
00:13:01If the engagement's off, does the partnership still hold?
00:13:03The family engagement still holds.
00:13:06Sofia won't marry Matias.
00:13:08She's marrying me.
00:13:13What did you just say?
00:13:14Impossible!
00:13:16It's been decided.
00:13:17Sofia, is this what you want?
00:13:19Dad, this is my choice.
00:13:23Okay.
00:13:24The moment Dad nodded, but I held it in.
00:13:26Alejandro was right there.
00:13:28I couldn't let him see me cry.
00:13:29Your brother's fiend.
00:13:38What?
00:13:38I was like, I can't believe in my life.
00:13:39I'm sorry.
00:13:39But I can't believe in my life.
00:13:40Never mind I'm doing my life.
00:13:42I was like, I'm sorry.
00:13:46But I'm not doing my life.
00:13:50I have no choice.
00:13:50I'm not doing my life.
00:13:52What?
00:13:57You're good.
00:13:59I'm not doing my life.
00:14:00let's make it official first we didn't even take a photo together later no
00:14:09flowers no ring no wedding but when he closed the car door his fingers brushed
00:14:14the back of my hand so light like an accident but if it was an accident why
00:14:19did they stay there for two full seconds first day in the new house I hadn't even
00:14:24finished unpacking and Matias showed up you married him you actually married him
00:14:31Matias after all these years together you can just marry my brother just like
00:14:38that when he rushed at me I stepped back not out of fear just instinct so you were

00:18:33left tire pressure is low it's safer if he drives you how do you know my tire
00:18:38pressure is low I couldn't believe it I'd been there less than 20 minutes and he'd
00:18:44already checked my car the whole ride home I could only think about one thing if it
00:18:48wasn't about the money then why did he say yes soon I'd find out and that answer kept
00:18:53me up all night
00:19:01hello babe Mendoza Castillo wedding it's been all over the business news for three
00:19:05days you got married and didn't tell me what who's listed as the groom Matias they
00:19:10even ran your couple photo that's impossible we already four months Alejandro
00:19:15Castillo told me leave it to me I'd been overseas doing magazine shoots thinking
00:19:19everything would be settled by the time I got back but the headlines were telling
00:19:22me I was still marrying Matias four months ago after I worked out the deal with
00:19:25Alejandro I started packing for Peru but before I left Matias showed up he brought
00:19:30coffee remembered exactly how I like it a year ago that would have meant
00:19:33something now it just felt exhausting you haven't been replying much lately busy
00:19:39Sofia I'm not agreeing to break up what good does that do once things with
00:19:44Camila settles down every sentence you say starts with wait Matias I'm done
00:19:49waiting if I don't like you who else would I like you already know the answer
00:19:53you just don't have the guts to admit it some things don't need to be said out
00:19:57loud his silence already answered for him
00:20:00after that I traveled across South America in four months I didn't think
00:20:04about Matias once but I kept thinking about someone else
00:20:09I called Alejandro it was 2 a.m. his time I didn't care
00:20:17who's this your creditor calling me in the middle of the night what can I do for
00:20:23you my creditor the wedding news is all over the headlines do you know that the
00:20:27whole city thinks I'm marrying Matias what happened to what you promised
00:20:33you're back the day after tomorrow don't change the subject then come what I
00:20:38promised I'll keep he said then come flat as a weather report but somehow his
00:20:44voice calmed me down instantly it was like hearing someone say it's fine in the
00:20:48middle of a storm you know it's not fine but you believe them anyway you'd better
00:20:51not let me down hmm I'll be waiting for you to come give me trouble please
00:20:58Alejandro you're the only one who can help me I really can't marry Matias you
00:21:03won't lie to me right get some rest come home
00:21:13he said come home not come back to the country but come home like the place I
00:21:18was going back to wasn't a country it was a person what I didn't know then was
00:21:22that waiting for me back there wasn't just a broken engagement but a man who'd
00:21:25been building an entire street for me since five years ago
00:21:32four months the second the plane touched down I could smell palm trees and the
00:21:36caramel sweetness of toasted crace I was home I caught myself scanning the
00:21:42crowd for him then laughed at myself a billionaire CEO doesn't pick people up
00:21:45at the airport hazelnut oat milk my favorite the cup was still warm he timed it
00:21:49to my landing Valeria he didn't come but he sent a car and there's a coffee in the
00:21:54back seat hazelnut oat milk Bob babe since when does a business partner
00:22:00remember what coffee you drink wake up bye bye bye you're blushing it wasn't
00:22:05blushing it was okay she was right but I wasn't going to admit it Regina greeted me
00:22:09at the door big smile but her hands were clenched I noticed come come come let
00:22:14grandpa see did you get a tan out there grandpa no way I put on three layers of
00:22:20sunscreen Mendoza jeans we don't tan by the way where's Matias he didn't pick you
00:22:26up from the airport grandpa has a weak heart I couldn't tell him we were
00:22:28breaking off the engagement not now young people are busy with work Matias is on a
00:22:32business trip no rush seeing him right he's traveling he'll be back soon
00:22:43Sophia you were gone four months poor Matias had a tough time alone
00:22:48thank you for your concern auntie Regina after the wedding stop running around stay
00:22:56by his side and start calling me mom both families projects are riding on you
00:23:03and Matias you're a smart girl you know what's at stake right when she said call me
00:23:08mom her grip was ten times heavier than her smile what she didn't know was I'd
00:23:12already gone running to the other son the one she raised
00:23:21I need to tell you something I had no idea if it was good news or bad I stared at
00:23:26see
00:23:27you tomorrow for a long time three simple words but somehow they made my heart race
00:23:31and when he told me the next day it changed everything he sent Fernando to pick me up said
00:23:37we needed to talk there was a folder on the desk thick his expression made me nervous
00:23:42Matias and Camila it's not rumors it's real how do you know I looked into it for how long
00:23:54four months four months you weren't doing nothing you were investigating the whole time
00:24:02the wedding announcement was to pressure him force him to face reality tonight I'm meeting Matias
00:24:09he picks what do you want him to choose I want him to choose what he actually wants
00:24:20I wasn't there Fernando told me everything word for word afterward
00:24:26you investigated me who are you to judge me
00:24:30I'm not judging you I'm giving you a choice Camila or Sophia pick one
00:24:39I don't want to give up either of them then you'll lose both
00:24:44Fernando said he was watching from the hallway hands shaking because he'd never seen Alejandro
00:24:50with that look in his eyes it wasn't anger it was absolute certainty
00:24:56your choice I got it Camila helped me back then I can't give her up
00:25:02hmm I don't quite get it but you don't owe me an explanation
00:25:06bro take care of Sophia for me
00:25:13what I do and what happens between us that's none of your business anymore
00:25:18he said take care of Sophia for me Alejandro heard it but he wasn't doing it because his
00:25:23brother asked he never needed anyone to tell him to be good to someone he just needed a reason
00:25:28and Matthias handed him one
00:25:31your brother's fiancee and you steal her
00:25:35she's nobody's fiancee from today she's my wife
00:25:40you've always been like this everything good you take it
00:25:44the company the estate and now even your brother's woman
00:25:48are you done
00:25:48I was hiding around the corner heard everything
00:25:51Regina's hatred for him wasn't about me
00:25:54it started long before that kind of hate wasn't anger
00:25:57it was fear
00:25:58so we're married
00:26:01just like that
00:26:02we'll have a ceremony later let's make it official first
00:26:06we didn't even take a photo together
00:26:08later
00:26:11no flowers no ring no wedding but when he closed the car door his fingers brushed the back of my
00:26:17hand
00:26:17so light like an accident but if it was an accident why did they stay there for two full seconds
00:26:23first day in the new house I hadn't even finished unpacking and Matthias showed up
00:26:29you married him you actually married him
00:26:33Matthias
00:26:36after all these years together you can just marry my brother just like that
00:26:41when he rushed at me I stepped back
00:26:45not out of fear just instinct
00:26:47I
00:26:55put your hand down
00:26:56bro
00:26:58she's my fiance
00:27:00you broke it off
00:27:01she's my wife
00:27:02you took everything from me
00:27:04since we were kids it's all been yours
00:27:05and now even her
00:27:06don't touch her
00:27:07I won't say it again
00:27:09last time I came to talk to you
00:27:11you made your choice
00:27:12so don't try to have it both ways
00:27:24it's over
00:27:26he won't come back
00:27:27right
00:27:31no
00:27:31I wasn't scared
00:27:33don't be scared
00:27:34when he said don't be scared
00:27:36his voice was so low only I could hear it
00:27:39he didn't say I'll protect you
00:27:41but those three words said it all
00:27:43when he held my hand for that one second my heartbeat changed
00:27:46not just faster
00:27:48completely different rhythm
00:27:49I watched his back and thought
00:27:51what if this
00:27:52this isn't just a contract
00:27:53what if he actually
00:27:55then I'm done for
00:27:58after Matthias left
00:27:59he said he had work to do and told me to rest
00:28:02but at 2 a.m. I heard the rain
00:28:04and someone breathing
00:28:06what are you doing?
00:28:07why are you still up?
00:28:09standing in the rain at midnight
00:28:10what's wrong with you?
00:28:11old habit
00:28:13helps me think
00:28:14hold this
00:28:17go back to bed
00:28:19if you're not going in
00:28:20neither am I
00:28:21he took the umbrella
00:28:22but didn't open it
00:28:23just held it
00:28:24like he wasn't used to someone
00:28:25sheltering him from the rain
00:28:26is this about Matthias?
00:28:27no
00:28:28something much older
00:28:29how old?
00:28:317
00:28:32the year my mom died
00:28:34he said the year my mom died
00:28:35so calmly
00:28:36too calmly
00:28:37that's how I knew the feelings
00:28:38underneath were shattered
00:28:39then what?
00:28:40dad married Regina
00:28:41she told everyone
00:28:42Alejandro is the child I love most
00:28:44and behind closed doors?
00:28:46moved my room next to the storage closet
00:28:47threw away my backpack
00:28:48all my clothes were Matthias' hand-me-downs
00:28:52your dad didn't do anything?
00:28:54busy
00:28:55she put on a good show in front of him
00:28:57my whole body went cold listening
00:28:59not from the rain
00:29:01but because he said all of that
00:29:03with zero expression on his face
00:29:04like he was reading someone else's story
00:29:09so
00:29:10you were alone your whole childhood?
00:29:12grandpa was good to me
00:29:13besides grandpa?
00:29:15nobody
00:29:16it's just a contract
00:29:17but
00:29:18at least on paper
00:29:20you have a home now
00:29:22yeah
00:29:23don't stand in the rain alone anymore
00:29:25when he said yeah
00:29:26his voice sounded softened by the rain
00:29:27for the first time
00:29:28I realized he wasn't as strong as he looked
00:29:30he was just really good at pretending
00:29:32go change
00:29:33don't catch a cold
00:29:34you stood out there for 30 minutes
00:29:36you counted?
00:29:37go dry your hair
00:29:38goodnight
00:29:3930 minutes
00:29:40however long he'd been in the rain
00:29:42that's how long he'd been counting
00:29:44that night I couldn't sleep
00:29:45tossing and turning
00:29:47not because I was cold
00:29:48because my heart ached
00:29:50for someone it shouldn't ache for
00:29:51and the scariest part
00:29:52I was starting to realize
00:29:54that his reason for marrying me
00:29:55was so much heavier than I'd thought
00:29:57welcome ma'am

00:30:48and even looked up your cat's name

00:30:58a crush?
00:30:59impossible

00:31:22for eight seconds
00:31:22I stood in the kitchen
00:31:24holding that soup
00:31:25for a long time
00:31:27a voice inside said

00:35:42wasn't it
00:35:43as long as you like it
00:35:44you admitted it
00:35:46I didn't admit anything
00:35:47Alejandro
00:35:48this is the first time
00:35:49you've given me something
00:35:50hang it on the south balcony
00:35:53Carmen
00:35:53does it sound nice
00:35:54perfect placement ma'am
00:35:56sir can hear it
00:35:57from his study too
00:35:57I didn't think about that
00:36:00of course I did
00:36:01I hung it right outside
00:36:02his study
00:36:03so every time the wind blows
00:36:04he'd hear it
00:36:05one second after posting
00:36:06I regretted it
00:36:07what if he sees
00:36:09he definitely's first
00:36:10instantly
00:36:11meant his gift
00:36:12but I didn't delete it
00:36:13he liked it
00:36:14just a like
00:36:16a seashell wind chime
00:36:17the first thing he ever gave me
00:36:19but I'd find out later
00:36:20it wasn't really the first
00:36:22no comment
00:36:23I stared at that
00:36:24like for a full five
00:36:24behind the scenes
00:36:25he'd already given me
00:36:26so much more
00:36:26I just had no idea
00:36:31two weeks into the marriage
00:36:32I made my first
00:36:33public appearance
00:36:34as Mrs. Castillo
00:36:35a business gala
00:36:37I wore the wine red dress
00:36:39he'd bought
00:36:39if you're uncomfortable
00:36:40tell me
00:36:41we can leave anytime
00:36:42I'm not three years old
00:36:43you're my wife
00:36:44more important than a three year old
00:36:46he said
00:36:47my wife
00:36:47in public
00:36:48like it was the most
00:36:49natural thing
00:36:49like breathing
00:36:50I wonder if he noticed
00:36:52I was wearing the dress
00:36:53he picked
00:36:56so you're the new wife
00:36:57hi
00:36:59Alejandro's taste is
00:37:01surprising
00:37:03I thought he'd pick
00:37:04someone more
00:37:05suited to him
00:37:08and you are
00:37:09Andrea
00:37:10supermodel
00:37:11Alejandro and I go way back
00:37:12oh
00:37:13old friends
00:37:15then you should know
00:37:16he's married
00:37:18married
00:37:19you sure it'll last
00:37:20when she said that
00:37:21her eyes scanned me
00:37:22head to toe
00:37:23that look wasn't curiosity
00:37:24it was calculation
00:37:25she was sizing up
00:37:27whether I was worth
00:37:27competing with
00:37:36I stood ten feet away
00:37:38watched her link her arm
00:37:39through his
00:37:40he didn't pull away
00:37:42what's wrong
00:37:44tired
00:37:44I'm leaving
00:37:45I'll take you
00:37:46no need
00:37:47go hang out with your old friend
00:37:51are you angry
00:37:52I'm not angry
00:37:53I just
00:37:53don't want to be here
00:37:55Andrea and I have nothing going on
00:37:57you don't owe me an explanation
00:37:59we're on a contract
00:38:00who you're friends with
00:38:01isn't my business
00:38:03are you really not angry
00:38:05I said I'm not angry
00:38:07when you're angry
00:38:08you talk faster
00:38:09he even knows I talk faster
00:38:11when I'm mad
00:38:11I wanted to hit him
00:38:13but I was angrier at myself
00:38:15why was I jealous
00:38:16that night in bed
00:38:17I spent a whole hour wondering
00:38:19when she linked arms with him
00:38:21was he uncomfortable
00:38:22even a little
00:38:23one week later
00:38:24I took on a magazine cover shoot
00:38:26photographer was my old friend Miguel
00:38:27and I was doing the retouching
00:38:28got to the set
00:38:29and found out the cover model
00:38:30was Andrea
00:38:31what a coincidence
00:38:32Mrs. Castillo takes on magazine gigs
00:38:34I thought heiresses didn't need to work
00:38:35I like working
00:38:36it has nothing to do with needing to
00:38:39true
00:38:40after all
00:38:41your marriage is basically a job
00:38:43right?
00:38:48Alejandro
00:38:48what are you doing here?
00:38:50picking someone up
00:38:52it's been so long
00:38:54dinner sometime?
00:38:57let go
00:38:58when he said let go
00:38:59it wasn't loud
00:39:00but the entire studio went silent
00:39:03like the volume was turned to zero
00:39:06let's go
00:39:08Alejandro
00:39:09aren't you being a bit cold?
00:39:10we've known each other for years
00:39:11I heard you push someone here
00:39:14that was nothing
00:39:18Andrea
00:39:19I'll say this once
00:39:20she is my wife
00:39:21if she says there's a problem with you
00:39:22then there's a problem
00:39:23if she says no working together
00:39:24then it's off
00:39:24you don't have to like me
00:39:25but you do not get to make her unhappy
00:39:27clear?
00:39:27he said she is my wife
00:39:28in front of everyone
00:39:29it wasn't a declaration
00:39:30it was a warning
00:39:32Sophia
00:39:33I was out of line
00:39:36I'm sorry
00:39:36apology accepted
00:39:37but from now on
00:39:38wherever it is
00:39:39don't touch my people
00:39:41I
00:39:41she apologized
00:39:42but her eyes told me
00:39:43this wasn't over
00:39:44she wasn't giving up on Alejandro that easily
00:39:46but that's a problem for later
00:39:48right now
00:39:49he was all I cared about
00:39:54when you just
00:39:55said I was your wife
00:39:57hmm
00:39:58sounded really serious
00:40:01because I mean it
00:40:03he said because I mean it
00:40:04and my heart slipped a beat
00:40:05in that moment I thought
00:40:06what if this wasn't a contract
00:40:08what if he was actually the one I chose
00:40:10how good would that be
00:40:11but I didn't dare follow that thought
00:40:12because once I did
00:40:13there'd be no turning back
00:40:17Valeria dragged me to a bar
00:40:18said I'd gotten boring since the wedding
00:40:20three tequilas later
00:40:21I agreed with her
00:40:22come on
00:40:23to your contract marriage
00:40:25to my ice cube husband
00:40:29for real though
00:40:30do you have feelings for him or not?
00:40:32no
00:40:33liar
00:40:33your eyes light up
00:40:34every time you mention him?
00:40:35do they?

00:52:48Miss Carter just signed the transfer of shares

00:52:52this must be a premeditated scheme
00:52:54so what?

00:52:57Rose
00:52:58even though you've always been good to me
00:53:00I've never loved you
00:53:01but I've always loved as Sarah
00:53:02I hope you understand
