The Lost And Forgotten Memories

      Two days later. While Daniel is getting ready to meet Blanca with the help of Anna, Raquelle, Natalia, and Helene and trying not to go crazy earlier, Terrence, Edward, and Peter have to wait for the news at home of Rebecca and Jamie under the close control of Sammy. Somewhere by lunchtime, Rose arrives at the house that he needs in his car. The dog refused to sit in the backseat and installed himself comfortably on the passenger’s one, looking at everything he goes by with interest, while the blond enjoys driving at high speed, listening to good music with sunglasses on his eyes, singing along with it, and watching the road closely.       Time in the way flies fast. Peter leaves his car in the small parking lot where he also sees the transport of Terrence, who, as he has already guessed, came a long time ago.       “So, Sammy, we’ve come!” Peter announces, switching off the motor and getting the keys out of it. “Incredible house, huh?”       Sammy barks confidently, looking at the wonderful big house that he likes a lot with great interest.       “Maybe, I’m lucky, and I’ll buy something like that someday. You’d be running in it, jumping, and playing…”       Sammy barks much more funnily.       “Soon, buddy, soon, I promise,” Peter laughs shyly, tweaking Sammy’s ears softly. “Wait for a while.”       Sammy nuzzles his nose shyly in the nose of Peter, making him smile shyly. Then the man exhales sharply, puts the keys in his pocket, and takes off the glasses that he hides in a glove box.       “Okay, buddy, let’s not waste time,” Peter says confidently. “As Terrence’s car is here, he’s already here. We’ve gotta go before he and Edward come up with an idea to start fighting about something.”       When Peter gets out of the car, he opens the passenger’s door and closes it when Sammy jumps down to the ground. Then the blond locks the auto with just one press, calls the doggy to him, grabs him softly by the collar, and tells him to follow him, while the pet does it obediently, looking at what’s around him with shining eyes. After coming to the hall door, Rose rings the doorbell two times and waits for a few seconds before Rebecca opens the door and smiles at the man amicably when seeing him on the doorstep.       “Oh, hello, Peter,” Rebecca greets. “Hey, Sammy.”       “Hello, Mrs. MacClife,” Peter greets gently.       Sammy barks confidently after he sits down. Rebecca greets both of them, petting the dog’s head and hugging the man amicably.       “Come in, don’t be shy,” Rebecca says amicably, making a calling gesture. “The men are waiting for you.”       “Thanks,” Peter thanks with a slight smile and pulls Sammy slightly by the collar. “Let’s go, Sammy.”       Peter enters the house, and Sammy follows him obediently, acting very shyly and gently while being at someone’s home. While Rebecca locks the door, the man goes to the living room, where he sees Jamie sitting on the sofa, dealing with a great bunch of papers, examining all of them closely, and writing something on them.       “Hello, Mr. MacClife,” Peter says.       “Oh, hi, Peter,” Jamie greets with a slight smile, distracting himself from the pieces of paper. “Same to you, Sammy.”       Sammy barks shyly, while Peter and Jamie share a handshake.       “Where are Terrence and Edward?” Peter asks quietly. “I thought they’d be here.”       “They’re in Edward’s room,” Jamie replies amicably. “They’ve asked if you’re here multiple times.”       “Well, yeah, I’m a little late. Because of this doggy that stole some time from me.”       Sammy glances at Peter and accepts attention from Jamie, who pets his head and tweaks his ears. And two moments later, Rebecca goes to the living room and smiles shyly at Peter.       “Go to Edward’s room, he and Terrence are there,” Rebecca says amicably and listens to the sounds that she hears from the up. “They’ve been singing… For one hour.”       “I got it…” Peter pronounces thoughtfully with a slight smile.       “By the way, do you want to drink or eat something?”       “Oh, no, no, thanks, I need nothing now.”       “And Sammy? Maybe, I need to give him something?”       “He ate enough before coming here.”       “Alright. Go to the guys then.”       “Maybe, I will come to you a little later,” Jamie says. “Talk… After I deal with these papers and do a couple of calls.”       “Alright,” Peter replies amicably. “We will be waiting for you.”       Peter calls Sammy to come to him, grabs him by the collar, and goes upstairs to the second floor, while Jamie and Rebecca watch him with a slight smile and keep doing their business: the man is dealing with the papers, and the woman is working in the house. On the way, the doggy examines everything he sees with great curiosity and sniffs the parquet floors and wide marble stairs. Ah, if it were Peter’s house, he would have the pleasure of sniffing and playing with those artificial colorful flowers placed in high vases and make every single corner of the living room better. And transparent chiffon curtains repeat constantly, “Play with us!” But the doggy holds himself down because he understands that he will not be petted if he destroys something.       After getting upstairs, Peter walks some distance down the wide hall, from which it’s possible to go to many rooms. He needs the one that is placed in the quietest place in the hall. Being at some distance, the blond can easily hear the voices of Edward and Terrence singing a song together. Sitting on the bed comfortably and shaking with a rhythm, the brothers are busy playing two guitars: one of them belongs to MacClife, Sr., who took it from his home, and the other is MacClife, Jr.’s. The guys are not shy about singing loudly and confidently because they are sure that their parents will be happy to listen to them while doing their business.       When Peter almost comes to the room, Terrence and Edward finish singing the final part of the song, performing by one or together. Sammy immediately pays attention to their singing and listens to the melody and lyrics closely. At some moment, the dog barks loudly and funnily and runs to MacClife, Jr.’s room, leaving the laughing blond behind. Since the door is half open, the dog opens it easily with his nose. The brothers stop playing and singing and smile shyly when they see the retriever that jumps on the laps of every one of them.       “Sammy, baby!” Edward exclaims with a wide smile, putting his guitar aside, and scratches Sammy’s hair, while the doggy licks his nose shyly. “You’ve come…”       “Hey, Sammy,” Terrence greets with a wide smile when Sammy starts getting stuck on him, stroking the dog’s hair and yanking him softly by the ears, while the dog wags his tail amicably, jumps funnily, barks constantly, and licks the nose of MacClife, Sr., “Hey…”       Later, Peter being funny enters the room, throws his hands up with a happy whoop, and pronounces cheerfully:       “Hey, dudes, here we are!”       Edward and Terrence also whoop happily, raising their hands.       “Oh, look, who’s come!” Edward exclaims.       Peter shares a homie handshake with Terrence and Edward, hugs them, and claps them on the back.       “You’re late, Pete,” Terrence notices cheerfully. “We could’ve played the full album while you were hanging around.”       “I’m not the one to blame!” Peter protests with an innocent smile. “All questions to Sammy! This ass just wanted to eat and refused to go hungry.”       Sammy barks two times as if he is protesting against something or giving his point of view.       “He has such a responsible mission!” Edward notices cheerfully. “How could he watch us with an empty stomach?”       “Yeah,” Peter pronounces with a quiet chuckle, sitting comfortably on the bed. “The girls got terribly jealous of the foreigner and us. They know we give a fuck about Blanca, but they’re jealous.”       “Oh, you must’ve seen how gloomily Natalia looked at me when I dared to ask if they needed my help!” Edward exclaims with a laugh. “I thought she’d kill me! I got goosebumps on my skin from her look!”       “Same about Raquelle,” Terrence waves his hand with a quiet chuckle. “If Sammy hadn’t watched us, she would’ve tied me tightly to the bed and untied me after coming back home.”       “Oh, I thought Helene would bury me!” Peter laughs shyly. “She’s my little jealous girl, but Marshall was furious this time. I didn’t even want to ask her about the operation of arresting that foreigner. And actually, anything else.”       “No, no, I didn’t even try to talk about it. But I’m gonna be honest, Raquelle looked at me so angrily as if I cheated on her with the foreigner, not Perkins cheated on Anna.”       “Oh, bros, how well you understand me!” Edward exclaims with a wide smile. “I have the same situation.”       “It’s okay, men!” Peter pronounces confidently. “When the foreigner is under the control of the police, our girls will get kinder.”       “And when we use our charm, they will be good girls again.”       “Yeah, they will,” Terrence nods. “When they kick our asses with a belt.”       “C’mon, let’s allow them to be hooligans,” Peter smiles slyly. “It’s boring to be a sweet and fluffy bunny all the time.”       “And play heroines,” Edward adds. “Girls fight with a girl, and men fight with a man.”       “Damn, guys, I terribly wanna know what’s happening at Daniel’s house,” Terrence says with a mysterious smile, keeping his weight on his hand, with which he is leaning on the bed.       “Yeah, I’m sorry about not seeing the Spaniard’s eyes getting out of their sockets after Daniel and Anna say her plan is ruined.”       “If she saw us, she’d hardly say everything she told Perkins to turn him against us.”       “Listen, didn’t that girl really think Daniel would recall everything early or late and understand that he was fooled?” Peter wonders.       “I don’t think so,” Terrence assumes. “If that girl is one of those crazy fans, who chase their idols anywhere and dream of getting married to them, she didn’t think of these things. She had a goal – to get married to Perkins, stay in the USA legally, and spend his money on her and her family.”       Sammy sitting on the floor next to the bed barks quietly.       “But I must confess that the girl isn’t so stupid,” Edward notices. “Yes, Blanca screwed it up ‘cause she forgot or didn’t think that the truth would come to light early or late. But the foreigner chose a good moment to get stuck on Perkins.”       “I think any fool would understand that when a human has memory issues, it’s easy to play with them,” Terrence replies confidently.       “Who knows…” Peter says thoughtfully.       “A person without memories is something like a doll that you can play in any way you want,” Edward shrugs. “That girl considered Daniel one of the dolls that she had in childhood.”       “It’s okay, our buddy is gonna give a hot to the Spaniard,” Terrence smiles widely. “And the girls won’t refuse to beat her face. Especially, Anna.”       “Today everything will finally end,” Peter exhales with relief. “For sure, this time.”       Sammy barks two times, looking at the men with his tongue hanging out, while they just smile shyly.       “Listen, Perkins is actually an ass,” Peter chuckles kindly. “He said nothing about his reconciliation with Anna when we were waiting for George.”       “Oh, I did understand that he got her back!” Edward waves his hand. “When I looked at his happy face and his appearance, which got much better, I realized that something happened between that dude and our red-haired beauty.”       “Me too, but I wanted him to confess it.”       “But he was so sure that everything was lost!” Terrence notices with a quiet chuckle.       “Hey, I thought he wasn’t too worried about meeting with the foreigner,” Peter notices thoughtfully. “Yes, it definitely made his mood worse. But he was smiling and funny anyway.”       “I believe he’s just sure that the foreigner is in trouble. She’ll give up at her wish, the police will get her arrested, or the mental hospital will reserve a place in the room for her.”       “No matter how it’s gonna be over, one thing is waiting for Blanca – a crush of all her wishes and plans,” Edward says confidently.       “Yeah, she should’ve found a single man and seduced him as much as he wanted! Why did she the fuck get stuck on the taken man? When his memory left him!”       “Oh, I wonder, how long is it going to last?” Edward asks, leaning back in the bed with his back and bending his legs at his knees. “What do you think, guys?”       “I think we’ll have to wait at least ‘till the evening,” Peter assumes thoughtfully.       “We’ve gotta do something while we’re under the view of the big and frightful dog,” Terrence chuckles.       “I see you weren’t bored when I wasn’t here. You didn’t wanna wait for me and started to play!”       “We just played a couple of songs,” Edward confesses, scratching the back of his head. “Our favorite… Personal…”       “When I was coming here, I thought you’d destroy everything here to the fuck, deciding to sort your relationship out again.”       “The kid hasn’t given me a reason to kick his ass,” Terrence smiles slyly. “And I don’t wanna do it when our parents are near us.”       “Are you trying to be a good sonny for Mommy and Daddy?” Edward chuckles kindly.       “I am good anyway.”       “So good that my hand wanna grab a baseball bat.”       “M-m-m, it seems like the little rag can’t be good for more than two hours.”       “Now nothing threatens me ‘cause we’re at our parents’ home. So, get failed, bro!” Edward shows his tongue to Terrence. “You won’t get my feathers out.”       “It’s okay, I’ll do two times more the next time.”       Sammy makes a sound and yawls contagiously.       “Oh, yeah, if not for your parents, there would be ruins here,” Peter laughs, shifting his weight on the arm, with which he is leaning on the bed.       “C’mon, as if they don’t know who’s the most unbearable asshole that loves playing on people’s nerves,” Terrence smiles slyly.       “You better shut up, pale-faced!” Edward exclaims. “Before saying something about the others, you need to look at yourself first.”       “I’m gonna be honest, guys,” Peter adds. “You two are unbearable.”       “You’re hurting me, Pete!” Terrence pouts his lips. “How do you dare to say it about the sweetest, most obedient, and most amicable guy in the world?”       “Do you mean yourself?”       “Not Edward!”       “If you say one more word, Terry, you’ll get out of my room as fast as a champagne cork,” Edward threatens quietly, sitting up in the bed slowly and getting up. “You are in my territory. So, be nice to behave well.”       “No, I don’t wanna leave it. Your room is so light and comfortable… It kind of reminds me of the room in my rented apartment where I lived before Cameron and I started to live together.” Terrence lies down, putting his arms aside and looking at the ceiling. “And your bed is very soft…”       Terrence closes his eyes for two seconds with a wide smile, imagining how his whole body relaxes nicely.       “M-m-m… It’s so good… I really wanna close my eyes and fall asleep…”       “Hey, get up from my bed now!” Edward chuckles loudly, crossing his arms over his chest. “Stop marking my territory out!”       “Listen, this mattress is really cool…” Terrence stretches himself up with pleasure. “M-m-m… I’m gonna fuck you two off and sleep here for two hours.”       “Get up now, tabby cat!” Edward grabs one of the pillows and starts beating Terrence. “I changed my bedclothes yesterday!”       “M-m-m, it’s much better…” Terrence purrs with a wide smile. “I love sleeping on fresh bedclothes…”       “Hey, tough guy, did you hear what I said? Get your ass up! Don’t make me beat you with a dirty broom or a wet mop! I’m gonna take it from Mom! She was washing the floors!”       “Get off, Edward…” Terrence moans tiredly. “Are you greedy for letting your brother lie on your bed? Since you steal my clothes and don’t return them for weeks, be nice to share something with me.”       “The only things I can share with you are claps on the back of your head and kicks on your ass.”       “By the way, I should increase the dose. The one you’re getting now doesn’t impact you enough.”       “Yeah, there has been no day when you didn't beat me with everything you see.”       “Oh, c’mon, as if you get beaten to half-death,” Terrence rolls his eyes, sitting up slowly and fixing his hair. “Nothing will happen if you get a couple of hits on your head with a pillow or newspaper.”       “That’s right!” Peter chuckles. “Edward’s head is strong. It passed the tests in the harshest condition.”       “Very funny!” Edward throws gloomily.       Sammy makes a sound, not stopping to look at Peter, Terrence, and Edward laughing quietly and not even thinking about walking into the room and examining it.       “Okay, bros, let’s play something?” Edward suggests cheerfully. “Then, we will see it.”       “Nice idea!” Peter exclaims. “Let’s have some fun! And make Sammy happy. He loves hearing us sing.”       Sammy barks happily as if he says, “Yes, yes, let’s go, guys! Play something!”       “So, let’s play right now,” Terrence suggests.       “Let’s play the one that Sammy goes crazy from,” Edward says confidently. “Which literally makes him dance on his hind legs.”       Sammy loudly barks and jumps on his hind legs, making the men laugh shyly and shake their heads. Edward pets the doggy’s head and yanks him softly by the ears. Then he and Terrence take their guitars and install themselves on the bed comfortably, while Peter manages to play with the retriever a little. At some moment, someone knocks at the door quietly, and then Jamie enters the room.       “Excuse me, guys…” Jamie apologizes.       “Oh, Father, you’re in time!” Terrence exclaims amicably. “We wanna play something here.”       “No, no, not now, I haven’t finished my business… I came for the other reason.” Jamie clears his throat quickly. “Edward, you’re wanted on the phone.”       “Me?” Edward arches his eyebrows.       “A certain girl. She said she wanted to ask some questions related to the wedding.”       “Yes! I’ve been waiting for her call!” Edward puts his guitar aside and jumps out of his bed. “I’ll be back soon, guys!”       Two seconds later, Edward gets out of the room and goes to the first floor. Jamie watches him, frowns slightly, thinks about something, and moves his eyes to Terrence.       “Ah, yeah, Terrence, your mother asked you to come to her and help her with something,” Jamie says thoughtfully.       “No problem,” Terrence shrugs and glances at Peter. “Sorry, Pete, I’ll be back now.”       Terrence gets up from the bed and leaves the room after Edward.       “Hm, did the guys start to get ready for the wedding?” Peter frowns slightly.       “Yes, they’re discussing everything with some organizers,” Jamie replies quietly. “That girl is one of them.”       “Ah, I see…” Peter looks through the window.       “Excuse me, Peter, but I have to leave. I have something to do.”       “It’s alright. Don’t worry.”       Satisfied with the answer, Jamie nods, leaves the room, and closes the door. Peter stays with Sammy watching what’s happening all this time. And when the head of the MacClife family leaves, the doggy moves his eyes to the blond and barks quietly.       “Yeah, buddy, you and I have to spend some time alone,” Peter shrugs.       Sammy barks quietly again and just looks at Peter with his tongue hanging out. The man looks aside for a moment and smiles shyly at the dog.       “Come to me, long-eared,” Peter pronounces softly, calling Sammy with a gesture.       Sammy comes obediently to Peter, who strokes his hair down. At some moment, the dog puts his face on the blond’s laps, while the guy yanks him softly by the ears. A little later, Rose stops his eyes on Edward and Terrence’s guitars lying on the bed.       “Hey, boy, do you think the lads wouldn’t mind if I played a little, while they’re left?” Peter asks with a mysterious smile.       Sammy barks happily with a gloss in his eyes, jumping on his hind paws and making Peter smile shyly at the dog.       “I wonder which one is better?”       After thinking for a while, Peter takes Edward’s guitar, puts it comfortably in front of himself, and slowly picks a few strings to check how it sounds.       “Wow, amazing sound,” Peter notices with a slight smile and moves his eyes to Sammy. “What you think, fluffy? You like it?”       Sammy barks confidently, comes to Terrence’s guitar placed on the bed, and nuzzles his nose in its strings that make quiet and nice-to-hear sounds. Then Peter starts plucking the strings on Edward’s guitar as if he is playing along with the doggy.       “You’re doing this great, buddy,” Peter encourages cheerfully. “We’re right when saying you got a talent for music.”       The proud Sammy barks and keeps playing with the strings on Terrence’s guitar, touching them with his paw or nuzzling his face in it, while Peter is plucking the chords of Edward’s guitar confidently. The man strikes the chords randomly for a few seconds, but then he calls the memories of the lyrics of one song and sings them quietly under his nose. After a short pause, Rose starts playing it on the guitar from the beginning, singing some lines in a nice, low voice. Sammy distracts himself from Terrence’s guitar, sits down in front of the blond, and listens closely to the play of his second owner, along with whom he starts howling later. After playing in the band for a long time, the blond stopped being afraid of public performances, and he remains confident as he shakes his head and body with the rhythm of the song.       Two or three minutes later, Peter finishes singing this positive song, which gives you hope for something kind and light, and the emotions of which he gets through himself to perform it with all his heart and soul. Sammy likes it so much that the doggy whines quietly when the blond plucks a string for the last time and stops singing.       “Cool song, isn’t it?” Peter asks with a sly smile.       Sammy barks confidently and a little louder, wagging his tail amicably with his tongue out.       “On gloomy days, it always makes my mood better. However… Any song can make me feel better. Because I adore music. That’s what I love with all my heart. What I wanna work on.”       Sammy barks again and looks at Peter with shining eyes as if he says, “And you love it for a reason, buddy!”       “Ah, fluffy, I don’t know what I would do If I had no chance to show my talent for music,” Peter says thoughtfully, glancing at the window. “If I was asked to call one of the things I can’t live without, I’d say music. Music is your little paradise where you wanna run away when everything is against you. The paradise where your world gets bright and saturated colors.”       Sammy barely touches the strings on the guitar in Peter’s hands with his paw, making some quiet songs. The man smiles shyly, tweaks the doggy’s ears softly, and pets his head, while the pet does not stop wagging his tail and looking at him. A few seconds later, the door of the room opens, and Terrence shows up on the doorstep.       “Did you decide to play while there was nobody here?” Terrence asks, closing the door and coming into the room.       “Yeah, I played on your bro’s guitar,” Peter shrugs. “And I made Sammy happy. He loves me playing and singing for him.”       “I hope that Edward won’t hit you on the head for taking his guitar,” Terrence expresses hope.       “I think he’s gonna be much nicer to you.”       Terrence chuckles kindly and installs himself comfortably on the bed after putting his guitar aside.       “Hey, when did Raquelle, Edward, Natalia, and you start getting ready for the wedding?” Peter frowns slightly.       “We got the number of that girl a long time ago,” Terrence shrugs. “But we just decided to call her.”       “Okay… The important thing is that you don’t start fighting over misunderstandings again.”       “I think the guys and I will agree on everything.”       Sammy makes a weird sound, sitting down again and looking at Peter or Terrence, who pets his head with a slight smile.       “Listen…” Terrence glances at his guitar. “What if we use the moment and play together? And my bro will join us later.”       “Good idea,” Peter approves with a slight smile. “I believe you and I haven’t played together for a thousand years.”       “That’s what I mean.” Terrence takes his guitar and places it on his laps comfortably.       “Okay, what are we gonna play?”       “What about this song?”       Terrence plucks a few strings of the guitar and strikes the chords for a few seconds, singing some words quietly. At first, Peter just listens to it and shakes his head with a slight smile, but then he starts singing along with his friend, shaking his head.       “Did you pick up the song that makes me cry?” Peter resents.       “One of the songs that put a start to the way to the success of our band,” Terrence recalls.       At some moment, Terrence stops playing, counts to three silently, clicking his fingers, and starts singing in a quiet and soft voice after a short guitar solo. A few seconds later, Peter takes Edward’s guitar, places it comfortably, and starts playing it. He performs a few solo lines and sings along with his friend, getting closer to the chorus that they sing confidently together. Sammy also joins the man, howls along with them at certain moments, and shakes his head with the rhythm, watching the friends with admiration in his eyes, while they sometimes share slight smiles with each other. This song makes Terrence and Peter think about something nice. But it does not prevent them from playing the guitars perfectly, singing the wrong lyrics, and taking the high, middle, and low notes poorly. They are absolutely relaxed and playing confidently for themselves and the only listener that is watching them like a loyal fan.       Four or five minutes later, Peter and Terrence finish performing the song by singing the chorus together. Then they just pluck all the strings and fall into silence. Sammy breaks the silence immediately by jumping on his hind paws with a happy bark. The friends laugh shyly as they look at the doggy, and the blond strokes the pet’s hair and yanks him softly by the ears.       “Hey, it was cool!” Terrence exclaims cheerfully.       “Agree, it was incredible,” Peter agrees confidently. “And Sammy liked this song.”       Sammy barks loudly, amicably wagging his tail.       “I believe he likes everything about music,” Terrence laughs. “He accepts any song very well.”       “You’re right about it,” Peter agrees with a slight smile. “There’s no song that could make him feel sick.”       “Anyway, he's got taste.”       Sammy barks quietly, getting attention from Terrence and Peter, who are laughing shyly. But a little later, the door of the room opens, and Edward finally returns here, whom the men forgot about while singing and petting the retriever.       “So, bros, are you singing songs?” Edward asks. “And didn’t even invite me?”       “Oh, blond, look who has come to us!” Terrence pretends to be surprised, raising his hands.       “It’s been a while, man,” Peter notices cheerfully. “We kind of forgot about you.”       “I just needed to specify something,” Edward replies quietly, closing the door of the room and petting the head of Sammy wagging his tail. “I asked that girl to call me after finding out what I needed.”       “So, you found out?”       “Yup!” Edward installs himself comfortably on the bed. “She answered all the questions.”       “Then, say when it’s the wedding day,” Peter says with a mysterious smile. “Huh, grooms? When will you say goodbye to your freedom?”       “Don’t worry, bro, Terrence, Raquelle, Natalia, and I will tell you everything and send you a wonderful invitation in a beautiful envelope.”       “C’mon, pick up the day sooner! I wanna have fun! Have fun at the wedding of my best friends.”       “Soon, buddy, soon.”       “Hey, what about the bachelor?” Peter asks cheerfully. “What’s the entertainment program for those, who’s gonna come to send to the place called ‘Family life?’”       “We haven’t thought about it yet,” Terrence confesses. “Though, I thought our friends would amuse us. Who are the grooms? Terrence MacClife and his little brother!”       “Don’t worry, man, we will have an amazing farewell to your single life. An event like a bachelor must be celebrated brilliantly.”       “Just in case, my perfect bachelor would be the one where there’s a lot of food and drinks, cool music, and many friends, who you could hang out enough with.”       “M-m-m, so, buddy, are ya getting ready?” Peter smiles slyly, pushing Terrence on the hip.       “Anyway, Perkins and you should make it excellent,” Edward advises. “Prove that Terrence and I chose you as our best men for a reason.”       “Don’t worry, MacClife, I promise you two will be super delighted,” Peter promises with his head proudly raised.       “We hope. Or we will have to ask our other friends for help. For example, Ben.”       “We’re gonna ask him for help anyway, ‘cause he can sell us drinks with a discount,” Terrence replies confidently. “We’ll need very many drinks.”       “Are ya gonna drink to the fuck?” Peter wonders.       “Did you think I’d pretend to be a teetotaler?”       “I’m starting to be worried about our bachelor,” Edward assumes.       “Whatever happens, I’ve got wonderful friends, who will take care of me when I’m not able to stand on my feet and pass out somewhere on the floor.”       “Oh, yeah!” Peter chuckles loudly. “I have nothing to do but haul your drink ass to my home and be the babysitter of the drunk Terrence MacClife until he comes to himself.”       “You will, I know it!” Terrence replies confidently. “You love your friend and will always help him.”       “Fuck off, pale-faced!” Peter laughs shyly.       “I ain’t also gonna pretend to be shy,” Edward promises. “I’m gonna drink and have fun.”       “Nobody’s gonna deal with you, guys. Neither me nor especially Perkins.”       “Well, Perkins is surely gonna drink at the bachelor,” Terrence replies confidently. “He’s a lover of hangouts! You should only give him a reason to drink a bottle and be the first one to do it.”       “Listen, you two must take care of me until the wedding,” Edward says proudly. “You’ve got the title of the groomsmen! So, support it!”       “Yeah, shouldn't we say, ‘I do’ for you at the wedding ceremony?” Terrence chuckles kindly. “Put a ring on the bride’s hand? And give a pledge?”       “No, thanks!” Edward raises his hand. “I shall do it on my own.”       “Anyway, Dan and I will prepare a speech in case you or Terrence are speechless.”       “Wow, how caring you are!” Terrence exclaims.       “Yeah, MacClife, don’t worry!” Peter exclaims cheerfully, clapping Edward and Terrence on the shoulders. “We’ll keep you safe and sound for the wonderful blondie and the irresistible brunette.”       “We will see it,” Edward pronounces thoughtfully.       “Tell Natalia and Raquelle that they can be absolutely quiet, ‘cause their grooms will be in trustworthy hands while they have people like Daniel and me by their side.”       Sammy reminds the men of himself by barking quietly.       “And dogs like Sammy,” Terrence adds confidently.       Peter, Edward, and Terrence laugh quietly for a few seconds before someone knocks at the door quietly and opens it. Then Jamie shows up on the doorstep with a shy smile.       “I see you’re having fun,” Jamie assumes.       “Yeah, we’re talking about something…” Terrence shrugs.       “Do we bother you?” Peter frowns slightly.       “No, no, I’ve finished my business,” Jamie shakes his head. “I just decided to come to you and talk a little.”       “Sure, come in,” Edward invites Jamie with a gesture.       Jamie enters the room, closes the door, takes the office chair, and sits on it in front of Edward, Terrence, and Peter.       “So, fighters, didn’t your girls give you one more chance to be heroes?” Jamie asks.       “Yeah, they didn’t,” Peter shrugs. “Just because the girls were terribly jealous of the foreigner and us.”       “And they decided to do everything on their own,” Edward adds.       “They even told Sammy to watch us,” Terrence confesses. “He took us hostage!”       “They did it right,” Jamie replies confidently. “You’ve done enough to make everything better. And dealing with girls is not your business.”       “What if the foreigner gets out of her mind and wants to do something to the girls?” Peter shows anxiety.       “Daniel will protect them at a dangerous moment. The police will do it. And the girls aren’t so weak.”       “But we wonder to know what’s gonna happen,” Edward throws his hands up. “We wanna look at the Spaniard when she realizes that her plan of getting Daniel married to her and making him a marionette is ruined.”       “Don’t worry, guys, when everything ends, the girls will come here and tell us everything.”       “It’s just a curiosity, Mr. MacClife,” Peter replies quietly. “A wish to know what’s happening to our girls and friends.”       “I understand you, guys,” Jamie says confidently. “But you only have to wait. The girls minded your participation in the operation. Since they asked you not to meddle in it, the best decision was giving up.”       “We had no choice,” Terrence throws his hands up with a slight smile. “The girls poured immediately and literally threatened to leave us if we’d stood in the way of the foreigner.”       “They were afraid that the girl would’ve wanted to seduce us,” Edward adds. “And even if we said we wouldn’t even look at her, and Blanca hated us, it didn’t impact our beauties.”       “They almost killed us, Father!”       “Yeah! You know how the girls beat us when we briefly mentioned a wish to help.”       “The girls didn’t let you do it not only because of jealousy and fear of losing you,” Jamie replies quietly. “They just believe you’ve done enough heroic actions.”       “At least, we would’ve hardly fought for death in this case,” Peter assumes.       “Who knows, Peter… Anyway, that’s good Daniel listened to the girls and asked Mr. Johnson for help. The Spaniard will not leave him alone so easily. She’s obsessed with him, like a crazy fan. These people must be judged and put in prison or sent to get therapy.”       “You’re right…” Terrence agrees. “I know that situation. And the only thing that saved me was a police report and the trial.”       “Any sick and guilty person will get what they deserve, Terrence,” Jamie says confidently. “And that girl will leave Daniel alone anyway: at her wish or by force.”       “Let’s hope, Father…” Edward replies thoughtfully.       Sammy barks quietly, so anyone does not forget him. Everybody smiles shyly and says nothing for two seconds, watching the doggy wagging his tail amicably.       “So, you say the girls told Sammy to watch you?” Jamie laughs amicably.       “He does ban us from thinking of helping the girls,” Peter replies with a quiet chuckle.       Sammy makes a quiet, disapproving sound as if he says, “Don’t even dare to move! Or I’ll bite you! Bark at you! Do my best for my owner to punish you.”       “That doggy also understands that you need to stop pretending to be heroes,” Jamie assumes, petting Sammy’s head.       “Actually, we’ve always done that only for the better things,” Edward replies confidently.       “I know, Edward. But Sammy wouldn’t have at least let his owner go if he had felt that trouble would happen.”       Sammy barks two times again, and everybody looks at him and each other for two seconds.       “Listen…” Jamie pronounces thoughtfully and bends closer to the men with a sly smile. “Will Sammy not give up on you for his favorite treats?”       “We tried, Mr. MacClife,” Peter says confidently. “I don’t know what the girls promised, but it seems like that’s something interesting.”       “That’s how…”       “You, know, Dad, showing once is better than guessing thousands of times,” Terrence replies confidently. “Look! You’ll see everything now. Guys, get closer to me.”       With these words, Terrence makes a gesture to call Edward and Peter, who move closer to him and listen to what he tells them. Then the three men smile slyly and share a clap on the shoulder.       “Hey, guys, what are we waiting for?” Terrence wonders. “The girls need our help, but we’re here!”       “Hey, let’s go to Daniel’s home right now?” Edward suggests cheerfully. “I’m ready. I don’t need to change my clothes!”       “Indeed, bros, go!” Peter jabs funnily. “Let’s make the guys happy with our visit and show where the foreigner belongs.”       Edward, Terrence, and Peter get up quickly from the bed with a quiet laugh, pretending that they are going to go to Daniel’s home. But when they go to the door, Sammy closes the way with himself immediately and starts barking with a threat at the trio.       “Sammy, what’s up?” Peter asks softly, stroking Sammy’s hair. “What’s wrong?”       Sammy does not stop barking, standing in the fighting position as if he is ready to start a fight.       “Calm down, buddy. Don’t be so nervous.”       But it does not stop Sammy, and he keeps barking loudly, while Jamie laughs quietly, shaking his head.       “Yeah, guys, it seems like the power of the girl's charm was too strong,” Jamie notices. “So strong that Sammy couldn’t resist.”       “You saw everything,” Edward throws his hands up. “And it happens every time we think of a wish to help.”       Sammy starts loudly barking again after being silent for two seconds.       “Hey, hey, okay, buddy, okay,” Terrence says and yanks Sammy softly by the ears. “Stop barking. We joked.”       “Yeah, we pranked you, silly boy,” Edward adds funnily, pets Sammy’s head, and squeezes his face slightly with his hand for two seconds. “Pran-ked! To show Father what you do when we wanna help our friend.”       These words make Sammy fall into silence and look questioningly at the three men, who are smiling slyly.       “Okay, okay!” Peter raises his hands. “You’ll get what Helene promised for barking at me every time I talk about a wish to help Daniel. When I wanna go to his home and…”       Peter does not speak his mind because Sammy barks loudly at him and pushes him off the door of the room with his front paws. Then he does the same thing to Terrence and Edward, who unsuccessfully try to please him with caress and pretend that they want to get out quietly along with Jamie’s chuckles. The retriever drives the men around the room like crazy and barks at them, while they laugh shyly and make funny faces for the dog, not losing hope of making the pet’s heart a little softer.       

***

      Meanwhile, Daniel is at home and getting ready to meet Blanca. Anna cannot wait to fight with her enemy, and Raquelle, Natalia, and Helene agreed to help their friends with pleasure. Standing near the window, the man is talking to the foreigner on the phone, and she tells him she will be at his home very soon. While the girls are discussing something, looking quiet, and remaining confident enough. Later, Perkins says goodbye to Blanca a little coldly and says he is waiting for her to come, and she thanks him in English mixed with Spanish and turns off the call after saying she is missing him so badly. Then the man looks through the window for two or three seconds, squeezing his phone in his hands, and turns on the girls slowly.       “She’s coming here…” Daniel says quietly.       “Excellent,” Anna pronounces confidently.       “And her sister will be here, too. She knows English better and translates what that girl speaks in Spanish for me.”       “Is she crazy, too?”       “Nope, that girl is good. You may not fear her.”       “Okay. Anyway, the girls and I are ready.”       “Aha, we only need to wait for our birdie to get into the cage,” Natalia chuckles.       “Soon, girls,” Daniel pronounces thoughtfully, glancing aside hesitantly. “The foreigner is about to come. In fifteen or twenty minutes.”       “But please, don’t be nervous,” Raquelle encourages softly. “It’s gonna be okay. The girls and I know what we are doing.”       “I’m not nervous…” Daniel shrugs. “I just feel disgusting when I think of her hanging out on my neck, speaking in her squeaky voice, and kissing me. It was never so disgusting to kiss a girl.”       “We completely understand you, buddy,” Helene replies amicably. “But you shouldn't betray yourself immediately. Let her relax a little. And when it’s a good moment, you can start revealing her.”       “I ain’t gonna reveal her immediately. I really want it, but okay… I’ll let her play the fool with me and torture me with her jealousy for some time.”       “That’s right,” Natalia approves. “And the girls and I will go to the police station and come back here with the policemen.”       “Oh, I wish everything ended as soon as possible…” Daniel moans quietly, running his hands over his face. “I wanna get rid of that girl so badly…”       “Soon, Daniel,” Raquelle smiles slightly, caressing Daniel’s shoulder softly. “The important thing is doing what we told you. And don’t let that girl leave before the police come here.”       “At least, I’m happy I won’t have to fight and protect myself not to get a knife into me or crush my head.”       “I hope it won’t happen,” Anna expresses hope. “But I think it’s gonna be easier this time.”       “It’s gonna be hard psychologically. I’m gonna feel like all my energy was sucked out after everything ends.”       “The important thing is that everything ends as soon as possible.”       “You’re right. We’ve gotta deal with the foreigner today.”       All the girls look at Daniel with sadness in their eyes and caress his shoulders softly to show their support. Then Helene glances at the watch in the living room and looks at Natalia and Raquelle.       “Okay, girls, we’ve gotta go,” Helene announces.       “Yeah, it’s time…” Raquelle pronounces thoughtfully and moves her eyes to Daniel and Anna. “Hey, guys, can you hold on for one or one and a half hours?”       “We’ll try,” Daniel promises with a slight smile. “I think it’s gonna be enough for us.”       “Great!” Natalia exclaims. “We will come back with the police.”       “Go away before that hysterical lady sees you earlier.”       “Good luck, guys!” Raquelle wishes amicably.       “Thanks, girls,” Anna smiles shyly. “Come back soon.”       After saying goodbye to Daniel and Anna by hugging them amicably, Helene, Natalia, and Raquelle leave the house. While the man closes the door, the girl watches them with sadness in her eyes and looks at her hands, embracing herself with both arms. Later, Daniel turns around slowly, sees Anna getting sad, and comes to her, looking at her with guilt.       “I can’t wait for everything to be over…” Anna says hesitantly. “All of it makes me super tense…”       “It’s gonna be fine, sweetie,” Daniel promises softly. “It will be over in any way.”       “I’m afraid that something might get wrong… And I’m… Afraid to lose you again…”       “Don’t even think about it, princess. I will not leave you. The foreigner will not ruin our relationship for the second time.”       “I know…” Anna sighs heavily and throws a sad look aside for a moment. “But I’m worried…”       “Don’t be. It’s gonna be okay.”       “Besides, I…” Anna pronounces hesitantly, pulling the sleeve of her denim jacket. “I ain’t sure that I’ll be able to watch that girl getting stuck on you. Hug you… Kiss you… What if she wanna go to bed?”       “I’m very sorry for forcing you to see it. I’m even ashamed. But I suggested that you go with the girls.”       “Yeah, I know. But… I… I ain’t sure if I can tolerate that scene. I can’t promise that I will not wish to kill her.”       “Listen, Anna, this situation makes me uncomfortable, too,” Daniel replies confidently with sadness in his eyes. “It’s disgusting for me that the girl is gonna feel me up before your eyes. But I’ve got no choice. We need it.”       “I understand…” Anna nods, moving her eyes to her hands. “I know my heart is gonna be wounded with a knife one hundred times.”       “I’m really ashamed of you, sweetie,” Daniel says hesitantly, caressing Anna’s cheek softly. “But you’ve gotta overcome it, so nobody prevents us from being happy.”       “I know…” Anna smiles slightly.       “I promise I will only think of you all the time. About my little, beloved girl.”       “Just like you did when you had amnesia?”       “It would be easier for me to pretend.”       “If that bitch starts to hint at sex, I’ll show up earlier and kill her with the biggest pan you have here.”       “No, I won’t let it happen! Never!”       “Oh, God, give me the strength…”       “It’s gonna be okay, baby,” Daniel promises confidently, caressing Anna’s head with both hands and slightly fixing the collar of her denim jacket. “When it’s a good moment, I will be happy to take my mask off. And say I have only one beloved girl.”       “I can’t wait to show that fat bitch to whom you belong.”       “But I’m begging you, don’t fight with her,” Daniel says softly, grabbing Anna’s face and caressing her cheeks. “I don’t want her to hurt you. That girl is sick. Blanca is ready to strangle her sister in jealousy, and she won’t surely be sorry for you.”       “She doesn’t know who he got in touch with,” Anna smiles shyly and caresses Daniel’s cheek with both hands. “She doesn’t know I’m gonna pull out all of her pathetic leathers.”       “Anyway, I will not let that girl hurt you.”       “I believe you, sweetheart.”       Daniel smiles shyly and says nothing for two seconds, as well as Anna.       “I think it’s time to take our positions…” Daniel says thoughtfully, glancing at the watch in the living room. “Blanca’s about to come here.”       “Yup, you’re right…” Anna nods with sadness in her eyes, looking at the watch, as well. “But I’m ready.”       “Me too.”       “And yeah… Before we go…” Anna shortens the distance between her and Daniel slowly but confidently and looks into his eyes for two seconds. “For luck…”       Anna gives Daniel a short, tender kiss on his lips and a much more continuous one, taking her boyfriend’s hands and putting her palm on his cheek later. He answers it with pleasure and puts his free hand on the back of her head with a feeling of something warm and nice that spreads all over his body. But a few seconds later, the lovers step away with a slight smile, and Anna caresses Daniel’s cheek softly, while he looks at her tenderly.       “Good luck, sweetie,” Anna wishes. “And be careful. Who knows what we may expect from that sick madam.”       “Thanks a lot,” Daniel thanks amicably. “Same to you.”       “May luck be by our side.”       Two moments later, Daniel takes Anna in a strong, tender hug, putting his arms around the girl’s waist and caressing her back, while she puts her arms around his neck and smiles wider when he kisses her on the cheek. But a few seconds later, they have to step away from each other because someone rings the doorbell.       “Oh, damn, it’s time,” Anna exhales sharply.       “Go to hide!” Daniel exclaims. “I’ll let you know when you can show up.”       Anna nods confidently and quickly goes to the partition that divides the living room and the kitchen. Daniel exhales sharply, running his hands over his face and silently praying that he gets the strength to accept it all. Then he goes to the hall door and opens it with a shaking hand. Perkins does not have time to realize how Blanca standing on the doorstep shouts out happily and whoops loudly enough:       “¡Hola, mi amor! ¡Aquí estoy!”       Blanca attacks Daniel sharply with hugs, squeezing him so tightly that he can barely breathe. But remembering that he should pretend, the man gets through this feeling of discomfort and hugs the girl hesitantly.       “I to miss you so much, querida!” Blanca confesses happily with a wide smile. “If only you know how much I miss you in Spain.”       “Hey, Blanca, hey,” Daniel tries to say softly and tenderly, making himself show something like a smile. “I missed you, too.”       “I literally count the days until me and my family to come back here. And we finally to be together!”       Blanca smiling widely steps back from Daniel, caresses his face, and strokes his little tousled hair, still hanging out on his neck and not thinking of letting him go.       “M-m-m, I miss your smell,” Blanca purrs with a peaceful smile. “I always think about your male smell that can drive me crazy.”       “Did you come back yesterday?” Daniel changes the subject.       “Yes, we to come here yesterday evening,” Blanca replies happily. “I want to come to you, but you say you feel bad.”       “Yeah… I’m sorry about what happened…”       “It’s okay, mi amor,” Blanca kisses Daniel on the cheek two times with her sticky lips. “Okay. But mi corazon to hurt so much because of you, gatito. I to be so worried… I to be worried while I to be far away. You to be alone for so long…”       “It’s okay, Blanca. I just had a very strong headache. I… Sleep a lot… I’ve done it especially much lately. The weather changes, I guess. The degree changes… And the consequences of amnesia still let me know about them.”       “Oh, Daniel, mi gatito…” Blanca pronounces with pity in her eyes and caresses Daniel’s cheek tenderly. “I feel pain when I hear you cannot come to yourself after that terrible event.”       “It’s okay, I feel much better now,” Daniel replies without emotions, glancing aside. “I recently visited my doctor, and he said everything would be okay soon.”       “But now when I to be next to you, it to be gone soon. You not to pay attention to it while we get ready for our wedding.”       “Yeah, sure…”       “I promise I not to leave you alone anymore. I tell my parents that I not to leave far without you. No matter what they do, I to be here. I swear, mi amor!”       Blanca squeezes Daniel in a tight hug again. Breathing barely due to the lack of air, the man rolls his eyes, while she caresses his back greedily. A few seconds later, the girl steps back from him, and Mia comes to them hesitantly after she stood aside and gave no signs of her pretense for some time.       “Oh!” Blanca exclaims. “Mia, come here!”       Mia comes to Blanca a little hesitantly, blinking her eyes scarily, fixing her glasses on the bridge of her nose, and embracing herself with both arms.       “Oh, hey, Mia,” Daniel greets amicably. “Glad to see you.”       “Hey, Daniel,” Mia waves her hand. “Me too.”       “Alright, querida, I want to go to the living room,” Blanca says without any kind of shame. “My parents always say that you can’t hold people on the doorstep.”       “But, Blanca… Wait for you to get invited. Getting into a house without an owner’s invitation is bad.”       “I to be almost the owner of this house. So, I have the right to enter my fiancé’s house without an invitation.”       Blanca goes to the living room insolently, taking Daniel’s hand tightly and pulling him after her. While he is categorically resentful of the insolence and politeness of the non-educated girl. The man glances at Mia secretly and shakes his head, and she just throws her hands up and enters the house shyly, still behaving like she wants to say something. While Blanca looks around with a wide smile, keeping Daniel closer to her, Anna clenches her hands into fists, getting a little red from the anger that immediately possesses her mind.       “Oh, God, give me the strength to overcome it…” Anna begs with despair. “I do wanna grab this bitch’s hair and pull it out! Or hit her with something heavy!”       “Oh, mi gatito, I miss this house so much!” Blanca exclaims happily and puts her hands on her heart, skipping into the living room. “I to wait to move in here and live with my beloved man.”       “Yeah, sure…” Daniel says in a low voice without emotions, putting his hands on his hips.       “By the way, why the ceiling and the walls to have dents? I not to remember they to have it before!”       “Erm… Dents?” Daniel glances at the ceiling, on which he sees the dents from the bullets left after the fight with Julian and Norman Potter, and bites his lip slightly. “They weren’t there before?”       “No, I know that I not to see them there.”       “I don’t know, Blanca, honestly, I’ve never noticed it. And it’s hard to do it. It doesn’t get attention.”       “It to be weird…” Blanca frowns slightly. “Very weird… But alright! You to fix everything! Right, mi amor?”       “Yeah… Sure…”       Blanca squeezes Daniel tightly in her hug again, and he rolls his eyes and looks up to the ceiling as if he silently prays that this torture finally ends.       “Fuck, she just came here, but she already makes me feel sick…” Daniel thinks irritably. “And she wanna strangle me with her hugs… I hope I won’t die before the girls are back with the police.”       Daniel does not react when Blanca starts to kiss his face, making him wish to clean his stomach and wash his face so badly. While everything inside Anna is burning from anger and hatred for the foreigner.       “Ar-r-r, what a nasty bitch…” Anna thinks. “Watch out… I shall have fun soon… Revenge on you for everything… For everything, fat elephant… I will do what I’ve been dreaming about since I saw you in the room.”       While Anna tries to keep her emotions under control, making herself remember that it’s just an act, Blanca steps back from Daniel, looks around the living room with admiration, and takes any little things that she sees in front of herself. While the irritated man exhales slowly with closed eyes in the hope of relaxing and calming down.       “You know, Blanca, I was so sad and lonely when you left,” Daniel lies confidently. “I felt much better with you. But I got worse without you.”       “So bad?” Blanca rounds her eyes, putting something on the table under the stairs.       “Besides, I’ve been very lazy… I sleep a lot and eat a lot… The doctor says I should walk as much as possible, but I don’t wanna leave home so badly.”       “I also to be very lazy. Sometimes I actually not to want to leave my bed. That’s why my parents to swear at me. They not to love the fact that I to be like this.”       “Oh…” Daniel runs his hands over his face with a quiet moan. “Amnesia makes me terrible. The case is not about my health. I feel bad morally. I feel bad because I don’t feel myself.”       “It’s okay, querida, don’t worry,” Blanca replies with a wide smile and comes closer to Daniel. “I already say that I not to leave my future husband anymore.”       “Yes, yes, I know.”       “By the way, I want to make you happy and say that I move into your house this week. To take care of my beloved man.”       “What?” Daniel rounds his eyes. “Move?”       “Yes! I to need to do this a long time ago, but I always delay it. But now I decide! I decide to live at your gorgeous house.”       “Erm…”       “I not to even unpack my bag not to waste time to get ready. I should just put my bag in a car and come here.”       “Really?” Daniel pretends to be surprised.       “¿Que le paso?” Blanca asks with sadness in her eyes. “You not to be happy?” “No, come on!” Daniel smiles tensely and chuckles nervously. “Come on! I’d be terribly happy if you moved in here. Erm… I… Want someone… To be with me. I’m… Sick of living alone.”       “At the nearest time, mi amor.” Blanca rubs her nose against Daniel’s cheek and kisses it, while he looks around the room with dead eyes and thinks of anything except the foreigner, who makes him feel nauseous. “My bag to be ready… Estoy lista, mi gatito.”       “Yeah, sure…”       “But…” Blanca runs her hand over Daniel’s hand with a mysterious smile and caresses his cheek tenderly, while her free hand slides shyly over his chest, and her eyes examine his face. “I want you to do what you to promise.”       “What did I promise?” Daniel frowns slightly.       “I hope to become your fiancée officially when I move in here next week,” Blanca replies in a low voice. “You promise to give me the most expensive and beautiful ring and get down on your knee to propose to me.”       “Yeah, I remember,” Daniel nods with a false smile.       “So, when you to put a ring on my finger, huh?” Blanca smiles mysteriously and shows Daniel her hand. “Look, I to make such a good manicure!”       “Erm, yeah…” Daniel pronounces without emotions, not appreciating Blanca’s nails covered with multiple layers of green nail polish, which is scratched off in some places. “Beautiful…”       “And one of my beautiful and well-cared fingers to need a ring with a brilliant.”       “Patience, Blanca, patience.” Daniel caresses Blanca’s head and cheek not as tenderly as he would do it to Anna, who is fingering over nervously. “It will happen. Just wait.”       “You to have to propose to me officially,” Blanca replies with a terribly disgusting accent. “I want to be your wife and give birth to a baby for you.”       “Don’t worry, Blanca, you’ll get the status of my beloved fiancée when you move in here,” Daniel lies confidently. “I’m thinking of the ring that would fit you more.”       “Oh, mi querida…” Blanca smiles like a brewer’s horse, while Daniel caresses her hand. “¡Te amo, mi sol! ¡Mucho, mucho!”       Blanca puts her arms around Daniel’s neck and gives him a continuous, absolutely terrible kiss on the lips, during which she gets a lot of saliva in his mouth. The man tolerates it so hard, like a child, who does not get the right of the voice. And he is terribly ashamed of Anna, who has to watch all of this madness. For his sweetheart, he does not let the kiss last longer than a few seconds, steps back from the foreigner softly, and hugs her around the waist.       “Oh, listen, let’s sit down?” Daniel suggests cheerfully. “So, Mia can sit down, too. She’s standing scared and literally afraid to move.”       Not waiting for the answer, Daniel takes Blanca under an arm, brings her to the sofa, on which he seats her, and glances at Mia, who looks sad and quiet.       “Mia, sit down next to us,” Daniel suggests with a slight smile. “Don’t be shy. Feel like home.”       Mia hesitates a little, looks scarily at Blanca, and sits down hesitantly next to her, tucking her strand of hair behind her ear, fixing her glasses, folding her hands shyly in front of herself, and slouching slightly.       “Oh, you know I want to drink coffee so badly,” Blanca says confidently. “I go to the kitchen and make a cup of it and find something to eat.”       When Blanca wants to get up, Daniel sharply pulls her by the hand, while Anna rounds her eyes with a feeling that her heart misses a beat from excitement.       “No!” Daniel exclaims. “No, don’t go to the kitchen.”       “Don’t go?” Blanca wonders. “But why?”       “Erm-h… I…” Daniel bites his lip slightly, while his eyes are running chaotically from one side to another. “The kettle doesn’t work… And I don’t have too much food…”       “Really?” Blanca shrugs. “Okay! Then I to drink water.”       “No, Blanca, don’t go there…” Daniel jabs a little louder, holding Blanca by the wrist tightly. “Please…”       “But, Daniel, it to be my house,” Blanca throws her hands up. “I to be able to go anywhere and to do anything.”       “Erm, you know… S-s-sweetie… I…”       “I understand if we to be strangers. If I just to be your neighbor or your familiar.”       “Listen, let’s wait for you to move to my house, and then you will do anything you want…”       “But I not to be a stranger, mi amor. We to be a family soon and to live happily.”       “Blanca, please…”       “Indeed, Blanca,” Mia says hesitantly. “You haven’t moved here, but you consider yourself the owner and believe you can walk anywhere and literally decide what to change.”       “Not to get your nose stuck in none of your business, hermana,” Blanca throws rudely. “I call you not to hear you how you teach me to live, but to help me to speak to my fiancé in English.”       “Please, Blanca, don’t speak to your sister so rudely,” Daniel says quietly. “She’s kind of right. No matter how hurtful it is to say it, you can’t go to someone’s home and act like you’re the owner.”       “But… But, Daniel…”       “Oh, listen, I will give you water if you want. But please, don’t walk into my house without my permission.”       Daniel gets up lazily from the sofa and wants to go to the kitchen to get some water for Blanca, but she takes his hands and pulls him on herself, making him sit down.       “Oh, no, no, I not to need it, mi amor,” Blanca says thoughtfully. “I change my mind and… I not to want to drink water.”       “No, no, I’ll give it to you if you want. It’s easy to me.”       “No, no, mi querida, I not to want. I want just one thing. To be with you.” Blanca hugs Daniel tightly, presses herself as close to him as possible, and kisses him on the cheek two times, while he looks at her without emotions. “I want to kiss and hug you… To feel your smell…”       “Okay, I got it…” Daniel shrugs. “But let me know if you change your mind.”       “Por supuesto, mi gatito.”       Daniel nods as if he understands what Blanca says and smiles falsely. However, he does not care about it and only wants to tell her everything he thinks about what she did and finally get happy with Anna, the thoughts about whom break his heart.       “Gosh, what an insolent gal!” Anna thinks with evil. “I wonder if she behaves like this at the home of any person? What did her parents teach her? Or are they also non-educated?”       Anna turns around sharply and runs her hands over her face when Blanca presses herself close to Daniel and puts her head on his shoulder with a wide smile, while he hugs her around the shoulders.       “Hey, Blanca, why did you suddenly disappear?” Daniel asks distantly.       “Sorry, mi amor…” Blanca pronounces with sadness in her eyes. “I to be really sorry that it to happen.”       “You didn’t let me know about yourself even once: no calls, no messages… I tried to call your mobile number several times, but your phone was always turned off. Were you so busy?”       “Sí, eso es cierto,” Blanca nods and tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. “Te dije que mi familla tienen que abandonar de los Estados Unidos. Mi abuelo necesitaba ayuda…”       “Erm, sorry, but I understood nothing,” Daniel throws his hands up, cracking a slight smile.       “Erm, Mia, traduce.”       “She should’ve told you that our family left the USA for some time,” Mia translates hesitantly. “The grandfather of Blanca and me got some health issues, and we went to help him… And when we solved it, we got other problems that made us stay in Spain for a little longer.”       “Did you solve them?” Daniel asks.       “Yup, everything’s alright now.”       “It to be true,” Blanca says confidently. “I to be back here earlier, but sadly, it to happen otherwise.”       “But you were home,” Daniel shrugs.       “Oh, I to be so happy to see Spain,” Blanca smiles widely. “I miss it so badly when I live here. Three years to be gone, but I miss it anyway.”       “Which city did you live in? Erm… Madrid? Barcelona?”       “No, no, not Madrid. Calatañazor.”       “Calatañazor?” Daniel frowns slightly. “I’ve never heard of that city!”       “It’s a small city in the province of Soria, Castile and León,” Mia explains quietly. “But it’s hardly possible to call it a city because its territory is too small. Spaniards call these places pueblos. Literally fewer people live in that city. So, we know every single person living in Calatañazor.”       “That’s how? Great.”       “I surely show you that city, sweetie,” Blanca promises, caressing Daniel’s cheek. “Of course, you to be surprised because my mother city not to be New York. But you to love that place.”       “Yeah, we’d go there someday… When I get much better…” Daniel looks around the living room without emotions, not caring about what Blanca says and only thinking of Anna with the hope that it will help him.       “Erm, so…” Daniel pronounces without emotions after a short pause. “Will you not leave the city with your family anymore? Will you not leave me?”       “No, no, mi amor!” Blanca shakes her head with a wide smile. “I not to leave you anymore, mi gatito. I always to be with you. You never to be alone.”       Blanca leaves a few kisses on Daniel’s cheek, while he looks at what’s placed on the coffee table without emotions and puts his arm behind the sofa, getting horrified by the perspective of spending whole days with this girl.       “When will you…” Daniel pronounces hesitantly. “Introduce me to your family? Erm… The other relatives? Who live in Spain?”       “Very soon, I hope, querida,” Blanca replies confidently with a slight smile, caressing Daniel’s face with both hands. “Moreover, my parents, Mia, and I want to bring our relatives here. Take them from Calatañazor.”       “Really?” Daniel pretends to be surprised. “Will they… Live with you?”       “Yes, for a while,” Blanca shrugs. “But then, I suggest that they to live in this gorgeous house.”       “What?” Daniel rounds his eyes. “At my house?”       “Si. Our house to be large. I see a couple of guest rooms where we can let my family live. They to love this place very much.”       “Erm…”       “¿Que le paso? It to be a problem?”       “Me? No, I…” Daniel glances aside, swallowing up nervously, locking his fingers and barely holding down his wish to show his recentness. “I will be happy… Yes… If they want to live here, I… Agree. No problem.”       “I to be sure that they to agree.”       “The important thing is that they like me.”       “¡Claro, mi amor! Of course, they to like you. And I promise that I do my best to let you meet them soon. Te aseguro que te presentaré mi familia antes de casarnos.”       “Erm…” Daniel looks at Mia questioningly and throws his hands up. “What?”       “You will meet our family before your wedding with Blanca,” Mia explains quietly.       “Yes…” Blanca nods with a slight smile. “Si… It’s true…”       Daniel says nothing and nods as if he understands everything, while Anna is getting more resentful because of Blanca’s insolent behavior.       “You will not get Daniel, bitch!” Anna boils from anger, clenching her hands into fists. “He’s mine and nobody else! You will not get him! You will not live in his house! You will not bring your family here! You will not control him!”       Not knowing that she is testing the patience of Anna literally dying from jealousy, Blanca does not stop caressing and kissing Daniel, while the man allows her to do it with reluctance.       “So, how are you doing, mi bebe?” Blanca asks with a strong accent, running her hand through Daniel’s hair and looking at him tenderly.       “More or less,” Daniel pronounces quietly.       “And what you do? Where you go? Who you talk to? I want to know everything!”       “Erm… What did I do?” Daniel looks into the distance and thinks for two seconds.       “I was getting my best friends and real girlfriend back,” Daniel thinks gloomily. “Whom I almost lost because of you, liar! Because of you, my friends almost turned their backs on me! Because of you, I almost lost the one I love as much as I’ve never loved anyone before! Ar-r-r… I can’t wait to get off you, bitch! I’m sick of you! Sick of your accent! Your smell! Your appearance! Your insolence! I can’t wait to tell you everything, asshole!”       “Erm, well…” Daniel pronounces in a low voice. “I was sitting at home… Watching TV… I visited a doctor regularly… At a store… I walked… I made me do it, at least.”       “I hope you not to meet those liars, who lie to you?” Blanca frowns slightly, taking Daniel tightly under his arm. “And those three idiots, who to hate me and wish to slander me so badly?”       “No, I don’t meet them,” Daniel lies coldly. “And I said I didn’t want to see them.”       “And they not to try to bother you again?”       “They sent me a message with a threat once. They wanted to terrify me. They thought I’d pee my pants immediately.”       “And you answer?”       “I texted them back and told them to leave me alone. And I threatened to go to the police and report them if it kept happening.”       “Yeah!” Blanca exclaims happily with a wide smile. “Those losers can bite their elbows from jealousy. Their lives probably not to be very good, and they let their bad emotions out upon you and to be jealous of your happiness.”       “I don’t care about those people. They can live as they want… Anyway, I warned them and said I would take measures if they didn’t stop threatening me and insulting you.”       “And you not to stay in their talentless band.”       “Everything about the band is over forever. I left it. I don’t need it, and I don’t want to have anything in common with those idiots.”       “That’s right!” Blanca approves. “Their terrible band to break up very soon. And their cheap girls to leave them when they not to have an opportunity to provide for them.”       “It’s… None of my problem.”       “Yes! Strike those jealous idiots and those brainless chickens out of your life.”       “Sure, undoubtedly…” Daniel pronounces in a low, rude voice.       “Scoundrel!” Anna explodes. “Don’t dare to hurt my girls! And the men! If you touch them with a finger, I swear, I will cut your throat! You will pay for every single insult toward them!”       “Fuck, it’s so disgusting for me to say it all!” Daniel thinks at the same time, frowning slightly. “It’s disgusting to say it about the best people I’ve ever met in my life! About my second family!”       “And what about your loyalty?” Blanca smiles mysteriously, fixing Daniel’s dark blue blazer. “I hope you not to succumb… The charms of… Another girl… And cheat on me?”       “Branca, please…” Daniel moans tiredly. “Don’t start it again…”       “I want the answer, Daniel! You must answer when I ask you!”       “Oh, damn…” Daniel exhales sharply, closing his eyes.       “Understand me, mi luna…” Blanca puts her hands on her heart. “Mi corazon not to be quiet while I to be far from you. I not to stop thinking that you probably to be with another girl, who to want to steal you from me.”       “You’re jealous for nothing, honey,” Daniel shows honesty, tucking a strand of Blanca’s hair behind her ear, and smiles falsely. “I swear, I didn’t even look at any girl! I’m not interested in them!”       “You to have so many temptations around. I not to believe that you not to succumb.”       “I didn’t succumb, Blanca. Did not.”       “And you not to speak to those… Cheap girls… The girlfriends of those liars? Maybe, you fall in love with one of them and want to leave me?”       “No, I don’t care about any of those girls.”       “And you already delete the numbers of those liars and their sassy girlfriends? And friends from your social networks? Messages? Calls? Photos?”       “Blanca, please…” Daniel moans tiredly.       “You not to delete?”       “I’m not allowed to be excited. Otherwise, my head is gonna tear apart from pain.”       “I ask you to do this! Why you not to do what I say after my first order?”       “I was just gonna do that…”       “I tell you to delete all the contacts of those scumbags immediately!” Blanca demands coldly. “And delete your accounts on social networks. You not to have the right to have them!”       “Okay, okay, sweetie,” Daniel says quietly. “I will do what you want. But please, don’t yell. Loud sounds make me tense.”       “You make me scream!” Blanca explodes. “You make me nervous and mad! I to be quiet only when you to be home next to me.”       “Please, Blanca, remember one thing.” Daniel hugs Blanca with both arms, presses her to himself, and caresses her head with rolled eyes, while she puts her head on his shoulder. “I only love you and nobody else. Yes, maybe… I can’t remember this… But… I’m sure that I will recall it. I’m more than sure that you’re my beloved girl.”       “If it to be possible, I lock you at home and not to allow you to go out. And not to allow you to watch TV and check out the Internet. Not to let you see a beautiful girl that you want to see instead of me.”       “I promise I will delete the numbers of those liars. I wanted to do it much earlier, but I didn’t do it because I felt bad. I slept a lot.”       “You delete them today!” Blanca demands coldly, confidently. “With my pretense! I personally check your phone and computer to see if you really delete what to be related to those people.”       “As you want, honey.”       “Bueno. Yo creo en ti, mi querida. Yo creo…”       Blanca presses herself closer to Daniel and draws something on his chest, while he just shrugs and throws a dead look aside. “Sick!” Anna resents. “Shouldn’t he show you his clothes? So, you to see they don’t have tracks of lipstick? Gosh, that gal is really sick… Poor Daniel… How could he tolerate her all the time that she lied to him?”       Meanwhile, Mia dreaming of getting out of here as soon as possible and doing her business looks aside with sadness in her eyes as she fingers over nervously and watches Daniel having to tolerate Blanca with pity in her eyes. At some moment, she moves her eyes to the partition placed between the kitchen and the living room, and sees Anna hiding behind it. The younger of the Moreno sisters rounds her eyes and gets a little nervous, while Perkins’ girlfriend is afraid that she may have to show up earlier. But instead, Mia looks at Daniel questioningly and points at the partition. While Blanca has the pleasure of pressing herself to him and enjoying the warmth that his body spreads, the man puts his finger on his lips as if he begs the young girl to be silent.       Mia looks at Daniel with greater suspicion and asks him soundlessly, “What’s going on? Who’s she?” Perkins reads it on her lips easily and tells her soundlessly with a slight smile, “Wait, you’ll know it soon!” The younger of the Moreno sisters hesitates for a while, but then she decides to give up on him, looking like she is waiting for something grandiose.       “¿Que le pasó, mi amor?” Blanca asks with sadness in her eyes, stepping back from Daniel, who seems cold.       “What?” Daniel frowns slightly. “Something’s wrong?”       “You to behave very weirdly. You to be far from me in your mind. It seems like you not to care about me. I kiss and hug you with such love, but you to be cold and indifferent.”       “Erm, nope, I’m not cold…” Daniel smiles falsely. “Why do you think so?”       “But I feel that you not to be attracted to me the way you do it on the days before I leave.”       “No, it’s not the truth! I’m here with you, and I'm paying attention to you with pleasure.”       “You to hurt me, mi amor. I not to know why. Why I deserve it? What I do wrong?”       “No… The case is not about you, sweetie…”       “But why? Tell your fiancée what to bother you, gatito.” Blanca caresses Daniel’s cheek softly. “Por favor… Talk to me…”       “I don’t wanna overload you with my problems. You’ve got yours. I’ll do it on my own.”       “You can tell me anything,” Blanca says confidently in a low voice. “I to be not just your fiancée. I to be your best friend. You to have nobody but me.”       “Yeah, Branca, I know…”       “Share your sadness with me, amor.” Blanca caresses one of Daniel’s cheeks and kisses another. “I listen to you and do my best to help. I promise…”       “Oh…” Daniel exhales slowly, steps back from Blanca, doubles over, and locks his fingers, leaning on his laps with his elbows. “I’m just thinking a lot… Too much…”       “About what?”       “About the wish to recall everything soon. Find out who I really am. Become myself. I don’t like to live like it’s not my life.”       “You not to remember anything yet?” Blanca asks with sadness in her eyes.       “Nope, it’s all the same. I can remember nothing…”       “Even me?”       “Alas, sweetie… No matter how hard I try to recall you, I can’t do this. I can’t make myself believe that… You’re my fiancée…”       “Daniel…”       “Why is it happening to me, Blanca?” Daniel pretends to be sad. “I think I’ve heard so much from you that’s supposed to help me. But… It doesn’t work. I feel that I really lived all of that, but I can’t confirm it.”       “Querida…” Blanca hugs Daniel tightly again and kisses him on the cheek, caressing his head tenderly. “Por favor… You not to need to work so hard to try to remember me.”       “But I wanna remember you as soon as possible!”       “No, Daniel. You not to need it. I not to lie to you and to tell you all the truth. And I think it… To be… More than enough to realize that I… To be… Your only one.”       “I believe you, sweetie,” Daniel replies with sadness in his eyes. “But I wanna become me and stop asking myself, ‘Who am I?’”       “It to be worth it? Maybe, it to be a sign? A sign that you must end your old life and start a new one.”       “You know how terrible it is to know nothing about yourself and be a victim of those, who wanna deceive you!”       “Claro, mi amor… I understand it…”       “I’m sick of all of this…” Daniel exhales sharply, running his hands over his face. “Sick… I wanna live a normal, quiet life.”       “Forget it, Daniel. If you not to remember me, start your life over again. Let those, who love you, be in it. I mean me.”       “I wanna remember who I had been before I forgot everything. Who I was, who I loved, what I loved, what happened to me… There are many questions that make my head tear apart.”       “Maybe, you forget that you love me. But I swear, I do my best to make you fall in love with me again and be my partner for life.”       “You think I could… Love you? Again…”       “Yo creo en ti, mi querida.”       “You’re doing so much for me. It would be bad of me to leave you without thankfulness.”       “You not to have a reason to think of your past life. You and I to get married soon and to be very happy… We have babies and raise them… You teach them to speak English, and I teach them to speak Spanish, and they do what they love.”       “I’d like to recall everything before our wedding and… Get married to you as a man with a clear mind.”       “Even if you not to do it, it’s okay.”       “I promise I’ll do my best to make it real.” Daniel grabs Blanca’s face and looks into her eyes with a false smile. “I’ll give my everything to get the lost and forgotten memories back.”       “No, mi gatito,” Blanca says with sadness in her eyes. “You not to need it. The most important thing is that I to be with you and make your wishes come true. I to be with you, even if you not to remember me until the end of your life. Because I love you to death.”       “I wanna remember everything to love you, too. Now, I can’t say I feel something for you.”       Blanca says nothing and smiles a little tensely, while she swallows up nervously, and her widely open eyes full of a scare are running from one side to another because of the fear that Daniel may recall everything one day and reveal her insolent lie.       “I’ll look at your face when you know I know about your tricks,” Daniel thinks with a barely seen grin. “I know what a false bitch you are. I guess you didn’t think that I’d divorce you immediately if I remembered everything after the wedding. Oh… I can’t wait to say it aloud! But no, I shall play some time and then ruin her plans and show my real girlfriend, whom I will get married to someday.”       “Damn, I know it’s just a game and part of our plan…” Anna thinks with sadness in her eyes. “But it’s really insane! I wanna stay here less and less and watch that fat bitch licking and strangling Daniel. Who is the hell pretending too truly… I’d unconsciously believe that he might wish to choose her. Though, his dead eyes and a lack of emotions on his face speak different things…”       “Not to be upset, mi bebé,” Blanca says softly, caressing Daniel’s cheek, and kisses him on the lips. “I love you, no matter if you remember everything. Even if you to be a disabled man, I stay with you and take care of you. I to be your mother. The best mother.”       “Oh, if I were a disabled man, I don’t know what I would do…” Daniel moans tiredly, locking his fingers tightly. “I do feel helpless… I always fail everything and forget the names of those, who surround me… I have a strong headache and always take drugs.”       “God to be merciful and not to make you a disabled man after the driver of the car to wish to kill you.”       “I was lucky at least in this case.”       Daniel looks into the distance without emotions, leaning back in the sofa. Blanca looks at him with sadness in her eyes for two seconds, puts her arms tightly around his neck, and rubs her nose against his cheek with a wide smile.       “Okay, querida, not to think about it,” Blanca says softly, caressing Daniel’s head and kissing him on the temple. “Relax, my sweetheart. Think only of the good things. Think about our wedding. Our baby. About how we live.”       Daniel does not have time to open his mouth because Blanca leaves a few kisses on his cheeks and kisses him on the lips and corners of it. Then she hides her face in the curve of the man’s neck and has the pleasure of leaving the prints of her lips, which are usually dry but now are a little sticky because of a lip gloss. Perkins immediately gets sick of these kisses and the feeling of her lips and her hands on his skin. But he tolerates all of that patiently and clenches his hands into fists, looking at the watch at some moment and seeing it’s been a little more than half an hour since Raquelle, Helene, and Natalia left.       “Please, Anna, forgive me…” Daniel thinks with pity in his eyes and glances at Anna, to whom he has apologized silently a thousand times on his knees. “I’m so ashamed… Ashamed, ‘cause you have to watch all of this. Fuck, how much pain I’ve given you all this time… My life wouldn’t be enough to pay for it…”       “I know you to love it,” Blanca purrs with a wide smile, while her hand slides confidently over Daniel’s chest up and down. “And I want to do it. With pleasure.”       “Blanca, your sister is here,” Daniel says quietly without emotions. “Don’t get excited.”       “And what? You to be confused?”       “Actually, yes.”       “Mia! Leave somewhere! We have a more important business.”       While Mia swallows up nervously and fixes her glasses with scared eyes, still sitting where she is sitting, Blanca kisses Daniel greedily on the lips and gives him a continuous kiss, to which he succumbs without any pleasure, feeling nothing but disgust, shame, and a wish to wash his mouth and holding himself down not to cough because the girl’s tongue literally reaches his lungs. But when Moreno’s hand gets down confidently to his groin, gets underneath his gray t-shirt, and is about to end up in his black jeans, Perkins lets himself resist.       “Blanca, Blanca, what are you doing?” Daniel gets horrified, stepping back sharply from Blanca with widely open eyes.       “¿Que le paso?” Blanca wonders truly. “Why you react like this? Something not to be right?”       “I can’t… I can’t do this… Don’d do this… Please… No…”       “But why? I look bad? I not to get you excited?”       “No, no… I just… Erm… I’m not ready… Not ready… It’s… Too early. Too…”       “No, it not to be early! It to be time!”       “Please, Blanca…”       “Oh, gosh, Daniel, you act like a virgin,” Blanca laughs shyly. “As if you never have sex and not to know what it to be.”       “Erm…” Daniel pronounces hesitantly, while his eyes run from one side to another, and he is breathing a little heavily. “I… I’m not sure that it’s a good idea…”       “Don’t be afraid, bebé, sex to be a very good thing.” Blanca caresses the face of Daniel. “People to have sex to get pleasure. To get closer to their beloved person.”       “Erm… I…”       “Sh-h-h…” Blanca puts her thick, short finger on Daniel’s lip. “Say nothing. Be silent. Just relax. And get pleasure. I promise I to do everything very tenderly. As you always love.”       Blanca kisses Daniel on the lips again and presses him close to her, running her hand through his hair and pulling it strongly enough. Then she lets her second hand slide confidently all over his body that she finds so gorgeous and caresses his face and neck with her lips. The man remains absolutely indifferent all this time and looks into the distance, overcoming this torture more or less quietly thanks to the memories of Anna’s unforgettable caresses. A little later, Blanca, daring to get her hand down to Daniel’s groin again, takes his blazer off one shoulder slowly but confidently and wants to get him rid of the thing that she thinks he does not need. But Perkins steps back from the girl sharply, puts on his blazer, and puts his hair in order with a heavy breath, jabbing excitedly:       “Stop, stop! No! Don’t do this, please! No sex!”       “What’s wrong, Daniel?” Blanca wonders. “Why you not to want me to give you pleasure?”       “I’m not ready for this. Really, Branca… Not today…”       “I’m Blanca! Not Branca!”       “Sorry, I…”       “Listen, what’s happening to you?” Blanca gets mad. “Why you to behave like this? My trip to change you so much. You to be very tender to me before. What to happen now? I not to understand!”       “I don’t wanna sleep with you now!”       “Stop pretending to be hard-to-reach!”       “Is it hard for you to wait for a while? At least until the wedding! Why is it so important to you to take me to bed right now?”       “Hey! You to forget got who I am? ¡Soy Blanca Moreno! I to be your fiancée and future wife! That to want sex!”       “Sorry, Blanca, but I don’t want to do it until we’re pronounced a wife and a husband.”       “Excuse me, what? You not to want me before the wedding?”       “I want it to happen on our first marriage night.”       “But, Daniel…”       “You said you’d make any of my wishes come true. And that’s what I want now.”       “But it to be nonsense! Why you not to want your fiancée? What to be wrong with sex before the wedding?”       “Listen, Blanca…”       “Alright! Confess that you find another girl! You to love her and want to leave me?”       “Here we go again…” Daniel moans tiredly.       “ANSWER WHO THAT MOP IS?” Blanca starts getting hysterical. “WHO IS SHE? I FIND HER AND PULL HER HAIR OUT!”       “Blanca, Blanca, why are you screaming?” Mia gets a little horrified. “Calm down.”       “WHO YOU WANT TO EXCHANGE ME WITH? ANSWER WHO YOU TO FUCK WHILE I TO BE IN SPAIN!”       “Blanca, don’t yell at me at my own house,” Daniel says quietly.       “YOU NOT TO GET ATTRACTED TO ME? YOU WANT TO LEAVE ME BEFORE THE WEDDING? I UNDERSTAND IT RIGHT?”       “Damn! What’s wrong with the fact that I don’t want sex before our wedding?”       “YOU MUST WANT ME! I TRY TO BE BEAUTIFUL FOR YOU FOR NOTHING?”       “I appreciate your efforts. But I don’t understand why it’s so important to you.”       “IMPORTANT!” Blanca yells hysterically. “IT TO BE VERY IMPORTANT TO ME! BUT YOU CAN’T EVEN GIVE ME ATTENTION! YOU TO BE COLD. I NOT TO FEEL BELOVED!”       “Please, Branca…”       “I KNOW THAT LEAVING YOU HERE TO BE MY GREATEST MISTAKE! YOU WANT TO BE WITH SOME WHORE! YOU WANT TO LEAVE ME BEFORE OUR WEDDING!”       “Blanca, for God’s sake, calm down,” Mia says quietly. “Daniel is not stupid or deaf. Explain everything quietly. He said he’d have a headache from loud sounds.”       “Don’t meddle in your business, Mia!” Blanca roars.       “All the neighbors will come here because of your shouts and believe that one is killing another.”       “I SAY, CLOSE YOUR MOUTH, IDIOT!”       “How do you talk to your sister?” Daniel resents. “She’s scared to death, but you make her feel worse!”       “I do nothing!” Blanca throws her hands up with an innocent smile. “I just ask her not to meddle! AND LET ME FIND OUT WHY THE FUCK YOU TO BE LIKE A STIFF AND NOT TO BE ABLE TO MAKE ME FEEL AN UNFORGETTABLE ORGASM!”       “You must respect and defend your younger sister. What did Mia do to you that you let your anger out on her?”       “SHE ACTUALLY TO BE BORN!” Blanca screams hysterically. “I NEVER ASK MY PARENTS TO MAKE HER! BECAUSE I TO FEEL GOOD WITHOUT A BROTHER OR A SISTER!”       “It’s not a reason to treat her like this!”       “YOU LOVE HER? YOU LOVE MIA AND WANT TO CHOOSE HER IF YOU DEFEND HER SO HARD? THIS BLACK SHEEP TO CHARM YOU!”       “I defend Mia because I see that she suffers from your tricks. And while you are in my territory, I don’t let you treat her like this.”       “She to be my sister! And I talk to her the way I WANT!”       “I don’t care that you dislike it. I shall defend this girl! And I will teach you to treat her well. If you don’t listen to your parents, you will listen to your soon-to-be husband.”       “Stop it, Daniel,” Mia pronounces quietly with a scare in her eyes. “I don’t need protection.”       “Shut up there, black sheep!” Blanca throws irritably. “If I know English well, I tell you to go as far as possible.”       “You could do it well without me. Of course, your accent causes an ear bleed, but you understand everything. So, you don’t have to take me everywhere.”       “I allow you to open your mouth? You to have the right to speak when I TELL YOU!”       “Stop, Blanca!” Daniel raises his voice. “While your sister is next to me, you must show respect for her. Especially, at my house!”       “What?” Blanca scoffs loudly. “Me? Respect this black sheep?”       “Since you decided to get married to me, be nice to follow my rules. Which you must obey. No matter how much you don’t want it.”       “But…”       “No protests! With my pretense, you will be nice to everybody, who is at my house!”       Blanca gets sharply white from excitement and starts shaking slightly, while her eyes are running scarily from one side to another.       “D-d-daniel, what’s u-u-up?” Blanca asks in a shaking voice. “W-w-why you to talk to me like this, mi amor? ¡Soy yo, Blanca!”       “I said everything, Blanca,” Daniel replies determinedly with his head proudly raised. “I’m sick of seeing your sister shake every time you’re next to her. And if you respect me just a little, you will finally leave Mia alone and treat her like a loving older sister.”       “But… B-b-but…”       “Don’t pretend that you don’t understand me. Now, it will happen as I want! And my decisions are out of discussion!”       “No… You to be wrong… I love my sister…” Blanca hugs Mia around the shoulders, while the young girl being white and scared to death literally stops breathing and puts her head on her shoulders. “Yo quiero a mi hermana… ¡Mucho!”       “Come on!”       “I wish Mia all the best and to be proud of her successes,” Blanca lies with a fake smile. “She to be the best in her class at the university and to pass all the exams brilliantly. Not only Mother and Father to be proud of her, but also me.”       “I can hardly believe it…” Daniel crosses his arms over his chest. “You find any reason to nitpick with her. You hate her just because she opens her mouth.”       “No! You get it wrong!”       “Maybe, I can’t remember anything. But I’m not blind or deaf and see everything clearly.”       “¡Daniel, creeme! ¡Por favor!”       “You don’t respect Mia at all, Blanca. And I don’t like to watch this. I don’t like to watch you go crazy when something comes into your head. And you treat terribly not only your own sister but also everybody, who surrounds you.”       “No, no, mi amor…” Blanca jabs excitedly with a scare in her eyes. “Eso no es cierto…”       “He’s right, sister,” Mia agrees quietly. “You’ve never had tender feelings for people. Even if they don’t do anything bad to you.”       “Mia… What you to say? It not to be true!”       “You love nobody. And you’re with someone in case they can give you a benefit.”       “¿Que? ¡No, no! ¡Eso no es cierto!”       “Stop trying to make Daniel sure that you love me! Two minutes ago, you said you never needed a sister.”       “No, no, no, Mia, por favor…”       “And yeah, I’m not interested in this man. I don’t love him and am not gonna steal him from you. Even if I just talk to him, it doesn’t mean we’re dating. Don’t run to us with wild eyes, shout like a patient of a mental hospital, and attack me with fists.”       “You know well that it to be me,” Blanca throws her hands up. “I to be very jealous! And I want a person to give all their attention to me! I want to be the center of the Universe!”       “But that’s wrong!” Daniel meddles. “Making someone be with you all the time is wrong! Someone would hardly like the fact that a person gets jealous of them and is ready to eat the one, who just looks at them. And it irritates me, too! Especially when I do nothing for it.”       “But I want you to be liver,” Blanca says with pity in her eyes, taking Daniel’s hands. “Hug me tightly and kiss me the way you can… I want to be loved, querida… And I want you to agree to have sex with me and make a child with me.”       Looking into his eyes with an eating look and biting her lip slightly, Blanca slowly tries to take Daniel’s blazer off, run her hand over his chest, and slide to his groin. But the man steps back from the girl sharply, throwing loudly with an irritated growl:       “Blanca, I said, ‘no!’ Didn’t you understand me?”       “But why?” Blanca wonders. “You not to want me to make you feel an orgasm? But if you want, I to be ready to do a blowjob for you.”       “Gosh, he did say that he didn’t want any sex,” Mia meddles, moaning tiredly. “You’re obsessed with the idea of getting pregnant and getting him attracted to you with a child.”       “Don’t meddle, Mia!” Blanca bellows irritably. “You to tell your boyfriend what to do, not me! Of course, if you to find an idiot, who to get a crush on such a boring and ugly girl like you. I not to doubt that you to spend time with your books and study all your life. Well, maybe, you to get a couple of cats not to feel bored.”       “What a nasty viper you are, Blanca. How much you like humiliating and insulting me. It really makes your mood much better. You can’t live a day without hurting me with your nasty comments and proving that you’re much luckier.”       “Oh, gosh, as it turns out, you can speak! I think you only blink your eyes and shake like a hare.”       “What did I do if you treat me like this? What? I do try to keep myself far from you! What else do you need from me?”       “Not to be born!”       “Blanca, stop acting like this in my house!” Daniel demands gloomily.       “You know, sister, I’m sick of this!” Mia says a little louder, getting confident magically. “Sick of my own sister pushing me in the mud and insulting me for wishing to get a good education. Unlike someone, who doesn’t want to study or work. Who can only lie on the sofa, watch TV, and eat something!”       “You to become so brave because you charm Daniel?” Blanca sneers contemptuously, looking at Mia from head to foot. “Do your best to make him to defend such a worthless black sheep like you!”       “Daniel acts like a decent, educated man and defends a weak girl. Sadly, men like him are a rare thing now.”       “Confess that you want to steal my fiancé from me and prove that someone to be able to pay attention to the black sheep!”       “Gosh, did you get stuck?” Mia yells, knocking at her temple with a finger. “Everyone wants to steal your fiancé! You see a threat in anything that moves! When a more beautiful girl walks by you, you get jealous and start hysteria. When a man doesn’t listen to you, you think he cheats on you and wants to break up and choose another one.”       “I to be a beautiful girl!” Blanca says confidently. “Who everyone dreams about!”       “Yeah? But I can count your admirers on my fingers! The only people, who talk about your beauty rarely, are Mom and Dad. Other people don’t consider you beautiful!”       “It not to be my fault that I to be born more beautiful than you. Unlike you, I have breasts and butts! And you to be a fish!”       “You weren’t born like this! You just eat too much! Eat and lie on a sofa like a princess! You don’t wanna watch yourself, and you dream of being treated like a queen. You want to get all the attention on you. You want a man not to dare to leave you and think of spending time with friends or alone or just going to a shop to buy bread. He must go to a restroom and wash with you!”       “What you to understand, stick in the mud?” Blanca scoffs with an evil smirk, crossing her arms over her chest. “The girl, who to never kiss a boy at the age of almost twenty-one and to probably faint when an idiot takes her hand.”       “Yes, I have a little experience in relationships! But I know how I should behave toward a man and what I shouldn’t do not to lose him.”       “You to be a stupid girl that not to understand anything!”       “No, Blanca, you are stupid! Stupid, hysterical, and insolent! You will never meet a man, who will agree to be by your side all day long and sing praises, forgetting about his family, job, friends, and everything he loves. It’s called egoism! Sick egoism.”       “Envy, Mia, envy,” Blanca smiles slyly. “You to be angry because I find such a wonderful man like Daniel and to become his wife in law soon. And you, my darling, to never find the same one.”       “He didn’t find you! You got stuck on him like a leaf!”       “Mi querida to love me for what I to be.” Blanca takes Daniel’s arm tightly and presses herself closer to him with a wide smile, putting her head on his shoulder, while he looks at her a little gloomily. “We have a wedding soon and to be very happy. I become the wife of my beloved man and give birth to many children. Mi amor to have a good job and earn a lot of money that we spend on our children and us.”       “Wow, how excellent your plans are!”       “Yes, I live as I always want! And you to always hide behind a bunch of textbooks and never get married to the same amazing man like mi gatito.”       “Come back to the earth, Blanca! Stop considering your fantasies reality!”       “Not to be mad that I to get married soon, become señora Moreno de Perkins, and make children.”       “Stop!” Mia shouts irritably. “You’ve lied enough! You went crazy because of your wish to get married to Daniel Perkins, the member of the band ‘Against The System’. You can’t stand the other members, but you literally praise Daniel!”       “Ha, I not to take the band, which Daniel to leave!” Blanca snuffs contemptuously. “And those three talentless idiots not to enjoy their undeserved fame for a long time! Nobody to listen to them! They regret that they to insult and humiliate mi amor and hate me. Even if I do nothing to you!”       Understanding that the time has come, Daniel wants to take a word and say everything he has kept inside for a long time. But Mia getting enraged gets up sharply from the sofa and looks at her sister with eyes full of anger.       “Stop!” Mia explodes. “You will not get married to Daniel! I will not let you! Never! It’s time to end this story and tell him who you are!”       “YOU NOT TO GET MY FIANCÉ!” Blanca shouts hysterically. “HE TO BE MINE AND NOBODY ELSE!”       “HE’S NOT YOUR FIANCÉ! HE WAS NEVER YOURS!”       “DANIEL BELONGS TO ME!”       “You thought that you should’ve been together!”       “¡Daniel es mi destino!”       “¡No, hermana, Daniel no es tu destino!”       “STOP ENVYING!”       “Your obsession with the bassist of ‘Against The System’ crossed all the limits! You have no right to use his condition like this!”       “Shut up, bitch… SHUT UP!”       “You knew that he dated the other girl from the beginning, but you thought that he should’ve been with you and wanted to get him married to you in any way. Moreover, you told some of our familiar people that you were already married to Daniel. But someone hardly believed it because you were never popular among men.”       Daniel starts listening to Mia very closely, wishing to hear all the truth about how Blanca found out about him and looking carefully at Anna at some moment, while she is watching what’s happening with interest.       “YOU’RE LYING!” Blanca screams at the top of her lungs. “YOU TO THINK IT UP TO MAKE ME SINGLE! I love Daniel! LOVE! HE TO BE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!”       “I hate lying, Blanca,” Mia replies confidently. “I felt terribly embarrassed because I was silent for such a long time and didn’t tell him the truth about you. But now I am done with it! I am going to end this show before it’s too late.”       “Shut up, Mia! SHUT UP!”       “So, are you gonna deny it? Say that I’m slandering you? Are you gonna deny that you somehow got kicked out of one of the shows of ‘Against The System’ after the security found out that you had no ticket and ended up there with deception? You were lucky that they didn’t call the police.”       “We not to be rich to buy a ticket for a show! But I want to go there and see my Daniel so badly.”       “You were raving about Daniel after you saw a photo of him in a magazine! You aimed to find out everything about him and wanted to be with him. You insulted his girlfriend and said she didn’t fit him. You were literally ready to kill her or give him a love potion.”       “I love him at first sight!”       “You even got his home address and planned to go there, made him marry you, and move in there. And you did it. With needles, snips, and something yet that would’ve helped you hack a door or a window. But you got caught by the police, who were called by his neighbors when they saw you trying to get into his house. Daniel and his girlfriend were not there.”       “What?” Daniel rounds his eyes. “Blanca tried to get into my house?”       “Yes. Many times. Your neighbors can confirm it. I know that they were testifying as witnesses.”       “But when did it happen?”       “A few months ago.”       “YOU LIE!” Blanca screams hysterically. “LIE! LIE!! NOT TO DO THAT!”       “I’m gonna say more, you’ve been caught on theft at stores many times. You always try to steal something: chocolate, an apple, or some cosmetics. Sometimes you managed to run away, but sometimes you got caught.”       “LIE! YOU WANT TO SLANDER ME!”       “You’ve always loved looking for easy ways. You don’t like to overload yourself with hard work. Our parents barely made you find a job and earn some money. At first, you resisted and yelled that you would not go to work. You were a princess that a rich prince was looking for. But you eventually found a job as a cleaning woman in the hospital. Though, you got fired later because you didn’t do what must’ve done and behaved disgustingly.”       “It to be a lie!” Blanca protests. “I to leave the job on my own! Because I want to get married to Daniel.”       “And it happened that Daniel was brought to the hospital where you worked after he was hit by a car. It was your workday, and you saw the doctors bringing him. You quickly learned of his diagnosis and found the room of that guy. Since he had partial amnesia, you came up with the idea of pretending to be his fiancée, being ready for any of his questions. And you got it: Daniel believed you. Even if he actually never knew you.”       “NO!” Blanca yells hysterically. “IT TO BE AN INSOLENT LIE!”       “You knew everything about him. You watched all the shows with him and read every single interview of the band, in which Daniel told a lot about him. He often mentioned his girlfriend. He talked about how they met, started to date, and much more. You memorized it very well and pretended that all of that happened between him and you, not between Daniel and his girlfriend.”       “That’s why…” Daniel frowns slightly. “That’s how this girl knows everything so well. Blanca knew what to say when I asked her how we met. She probably thought the story of my acquaintance with Anna would’ve seemed familiar to me and decided to replace that girl with herself.”       “Damn, she came up with everything!” Anna thinks. “The foreigner knew how to make him believe in these stupid tales. So, Daniel got into the trap of that bitch. Even if he didn’t even suspect it for a long time.”       “SHUT UP, MIA, SHUT UP!” Blanca screams at the top of her lungs. “YOU SLANDER ME!”       “But you forgot one little thing, dear sissy,” Mia notices confidently. “You will get your memory back, early or late. When Daniel remembers everything, he will realize that he’s never met you and is dating the other girl.”       “He to love me! ME! I TO BECOME HIS BELOVED GIRL! HIS BELOVED WIFE AND THE MOTHER OF HIS CHILDREN!”       “There can’t be a talk about your wedding with him! It’s just your fantasy. Sick fantasy.”       “SHUT UP!”       “You’re sick, Blanca!” Mia knocks at her temple with a finger. “You a-ar-re! You must get therapy!”       “NO, NO, NO, I NOT TO BE SICK!” Blanca falls into hysteria, waving her hands and legs. “YOU HAVE A SICK FANTASY! YOU WANT TO RUIN MY LIFE!”       “No, my darling, unlike you, I’m absolutely healthy. And what you feel is not love. It’s sickness.”       “NO! CLOSE YOUR MOUTH!”       “I’m revealing what I had to hide at your wish. You were terribly afraid that I would tell Daniel about how he was deceived. So, you literally threatened to kill me if I opened my mouth. I was scared. I was afraid that my sister would really kill me. So, I was silent. I pretended that you’re really his fiancée. I got fake proof of your relationship. You knew that Daniel would tell you to prove your rightness. And you gave him fake photos that I made. The ones, in which I replaced his girlfriend’s face with yours.”       “I STRANGLE YOU WITH MY OWN HANDS IF YOU NOT TO CLOSE YOUR FUCKING MOUTH!” Blanca hisses through her teeth.       “But now stop, I’m done. I’m done with being silent and letting Daniel keep being deceived. He will know about all your plans.”       “HE NOT TO BELIEVE YOU! DANIEL TO BELIEVE ME!”       “Yes! Maybe, he will not believe me now because he remembers nothing. But now, my heart is absolutely quiet. Because I did what I should’ve done.”       “He not to be so stupid to believe such an idiot like you.” Blanca sneers contemptuously. “You to go crazy from your studies and say nobody to know what.”       “The one to go crazy is you, Blanca.”       “Stop it, sister! You better go outside to breathe in some air. Everything to die in it without oxygen.”       “And you better ask for the doctor’s help.”       “I NOT TO BE SICK, IDIOT! NOT SICK!”       “STOP SCREAMING AT ME, BLANCA!” Mia screams at the top of her lungs. “I AM NOT GOING TO COVER UP YOUR TRICKS ANYMORE! I AM SICK OF BEING AT YOUR BECK AND CALL! Go there, translate this, explain that, or something else. STOP! I AM DONE! I’m sick of taking care of you like a little child. Don’t count on Mia! She won’t help you anymore. NE-VER!”       “But, Mia…”       “I no longer want to lie when looking into people’s eyes, shaking from the shouts of my mentally ill sister, who may be rude and start hysteria for her parents. Who don’t know what to do to you.”       “But…” Blanca pronounces hesitantly with widely open eyes. “Erm…”       “LEAVE DANIEL ALONE!” Mia demands loudly, gesticulating actively. “STOP CHASING HIM! HE WILL NOT BE WITH YOU! HE WILL NOT! NEVER! YOU WILL GET MARRIED TO HIM!”       “Por favor, Mia…”       “AND STOP PRETENDING THAT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND ENGLISH! YOU UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING! I HAVE MY PERSONAL LIFE! AND THINGS TO DO! INSTEAD, I SHOULD GO EVERYWHERE WITH YOU AND TELL PEOPLE WHAT YOU SAY IN SPANISH!”       While Daniel and Anna open their mouths and try to accept what they hear, Blanca getting sharply white gets deeply shocked, says nothing for a few seconds, and just blinks her scared eyes running from one side to another and fingers over nervously.       “M-m-mia…” Blanca pronounces in a shaking voice, looking at Mia with pity in her eyes. “M-mia, mi hermanita… Why you to talk to me like this? ¡Soy yo, Blanca, tu hermana!”       “El juego terminó, hermana,” Mia says confidently. “Dejá de mentir todo el tiempo! Confíe en mí, Blanca, de esto, no puede salir nada bueno.”       “¡Siempre soñé que el día que me case! Y no vas a arruinar mi vida, Mia. No te pongas celosa porque me voy a casar con Daniel. ¡Con usa famosa persona! ¡Con el mi rey! ¡Al amor de mi vida!”       “You will not get married to him! NEVER!”       “You to be mad because you to be jealous of me! Because I to be very happy. And you not to have your personal life! You to be surrounded by your stupid books. You to love to study much more! You not to need love!”       “I study because I don’t want to be something like you! You’ve never aimed to learn just something! You always had bad grades at school and made your parents nervous. But you graduated from school somehow. It was my merit. If Mom and Dad hadn’t made me help you, you would’ve dropped school at the age of fourteen.”       “Ha, and what?” Blanca scoffs loudly. “Nobody to need your knowledge! I find a wonderful man and to be ready to become his wife. And he not to care that I not to have an education.”       “DANIEL IS NOBODY TO YOU! NOBODY! ¡Daniel no es tu marido, no es tu amigo, no es el extraño! ¿Vale?”       “YOU WANT TO SLANDER ME! SLANDER!”       “Stop, Blanca!” Mia throws coldly, crossing her arms over her chest, while Daniel smiles slyly. “You must get therapy! You’re sick! S-i-c-k!”       “BITCH!” Blanca screams hysterically. “I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!” The enraged Blanca wants to attack Mia with fists, slap her in the face, and pull her after her by the hair. But Daniel immediately sits between the Spaniard getting red from anger and her white, scared sister fixing her glasses with widely open eyes.       “Stop, Blanca, enough!” Daniel raises his voice up, holding Blanca tightly under her arms. “Wake up! Do you understand what you’re doing?”       “Mi amor, mi vida…” Blanca pronounces in a shaking voice with a heavy breath, caressing Daniel’s face with both hands. “Daniel, por favor… Not to listen to my sister. She to be a little crazy and not to know what she to say. It to be a lie… I swear, querida… She to be jealous of me.”       Blanca looks at Daniel with greater pity in her eyes, stroking his hair down.       “Not to believe her, Daniel, not to believe her,” Blanca begs with despair. “Por favor… Te quiero, mi sol… Mi gatito, mi vida… Mia just to want to ruin my happiness. Por favor, querida… Not to listen to mi hermana… She to be jealous… She to be crazy…”       Daniel says nothing for two seconds and looks at Blanca without emotions on his face. But then he breaks the silence with his head proudly raised and his arms crossed over his chest:       “You know, she’s right. Absolutely right. Mia confirmed everything I wanted to know.”       “No, no, mi amor, no!” Blanca jabs excitedly. “It to be a lie and a slander! I not to lie to you!”       “Close your mouth, bitch!” Daniel sharply pushes Blanca off himself, gets up from the sofa, and looks at her with a cold look full of hate and anger, wiping off the tracks of the sticky lip gloss. “Now it’s my time to speak!”       “Daniel, you…”       “I know everything,” Daniel says more confidently and coldly. “I remember everything well and know you are a liar! The liar, who used the situation insolently.”       “NO, IT NOT TO BE TRUE!” Blanca screams at the top of her lungs. “I NOT TO LIE! NO!”       “The game is over, Blanca Moreno.” Daniel raises his head proudly. “You will no longer deceive me and make me marry you. Because you are not my fiancée. You’ve never been the one!”       Anna exhales with relief and smiles widely, being terribly happy that this show is finally over. Mia looks questioningly at Daniel with widely open eyes, and Blanca starts breathing heavily and grabs her hair, understanding that the moment that she was afraid of so badly has come.       “Daniel, I…” Blanca pronounces with tears in her eyes, getting up slowly from the sofa.       “Ha, you had me wrapped around your finger well, false girl!” Daniel smirks contemptuously, clenching his hands into fists tightly. “You used my condition and pretended to be my fiancée. Found out everything about me and used it as proof for your lie.”       “But…”       “Bravo, girl!” Daniel claps his hands loudly. “Bravo! Excellent plan! I appreciate your efforts!”       “Honey, please, trust me…”       “Don’t dare to call me like this!” Daniel stops sharply.       “Daniel, please…”       “How could you do it? How did you dare to use the fact that I didn’t know who and what I was? What the fuck?”       “I to do it for love!” Blanca says with despair and sniffs quietly. “For love for you. I just want to be with you.”       “For love? Did you decide to play with me like a doll for love?”       “Please, Daniel…”       Blanca comes closer to Daniel and wants to hug and kiss him, but he pushes her off himself a little rudely.       “Don’t dare to come to me, bitch!” Daniel throws rudely and crosses his arms over his chest. “Now you will not come close to me! Hug and kiss me! And actually, touch me!”       “Daniel, please…” Blanca tries to touch Daniel again.       “I said, don’t touch me!”       “No, please…” Blanca pronounces with tears in her eyes. “Not to do this to me…”       “Insolent, shameless bitch, who almost ruined my whole life!”       “I love you… I love you at first sight. I cannot imagine another man next to me. Only you. You to be my destiny. God to want that we to be together.”       “Bitch!” Daniel shouts and starts gesticulating actively and walking nervously in the living room. “Because of you, I nearly lost my real girlfriend! Because of you, I nearly lost all my friends, against whom you turned me so hard!”       “But… But…”       “Do you know how many efforts I had to make to get their forgiveness? How long I was begging them for forgiveness for doing such a mean thing to them! For looking like an ABSOLUTE moron before them!”       “P-p-please…”       “I was the fuck bribed by your lies!” Daniel exclaims loudly in despair. “And I was distancing myself from those, who wanted to help me become myself again. You made me stand by your side so hard. You told many bad things about the men and made me sure that they hated me and literally provoked my amnesia. And I believed you like a naive idiot and thought you really wished me the best. I fought with them and told them many bad things… I almost beat the men’s faces… I made everybody think that I was a scumbag. A thankless bastard, who didn’t appreciate everything the people had done to him.”       “They to have a bad opinion about me…”       “They don’t ACTUALLY know you! As well as me!”       “Daniel…”       “Fuck, I almost lost my closest people? Those, who I consider my brothers and sisters! They became my second family! The family I love! But because of you, I almost rejected them! Because you washed my brains and made me sure that they were liars, not you.”       “I want you to be only mine…”       “Those people have done so much that my life won’t be enough to pay them back. I owe my brothers and sisters and will not forgive myself if I fight with them because of my stupidity. Ne-ve-r!”       “You understand nothing…”       “You showered a lot of dirt over my friends! The people, who did nothing to you. And the men suffered much more. I am still ashamed of them for screaming at them and blaming them for the betrayal, disrespecting me, and even trying to kill me. I blamed them for provoking the scandal of my friend’s suicide attempt. I took it out on THEM! I blamed them for all the sins! I threatened to put them in prison! I dreamed of strangling them with my own hands!”       “But…”       “You made me believe that I was guilty of the fact that my friend almost killed himself. Yes, I don’t deny that there was my fault in that case. But I never tried to make him do it. Ne-ve-r! I would’ve been next to him if I’d known the reason for his problems. But I found it out too late. I realized that my jokes hurt him for many years too late.”       “Daniel, por favor…”       “But it’s half of the problem. I will never… Hear me, never forgive you for cheating on my girlfriend because of you. And not even suspecting it! You did the fuck come to my room and kissed me insolently. And my girlfriend saw it and left me! She believed I did it on purpose! That I was mad because of the conflict that we had had before I got amnesia. But if I had remembered everything, I would have NEVER betrayed her. And you wouldn’t have even come to me!”       “She not to fit you. I not to want you to be with her. I to be the only one to be your fiancée. Me! Only me!”       “Because of you, I almost lost everything that was so important to me. Everything I barely got back by risking my life. Yes, Blanca, I could’ve died when trying to do my best to save my girlfriend from trouble and prove that I didn’t want to betray her. Even despite a fear that my efforts would go unnoticed, I risked. And I was very lucky it was worth it, and my sweetheart gave me another chance.”       “Daniel…”       “If I had lost that girl and all my friends, you would have been guilty. Because of you, I almost stayed alone! I was happy and lived a wonderful life before you came into it and did nobody the hell knows what. And I would have never forgiven you if nobody had forgiven me. If the men hadn’t believed in my regret. If the girls hadn’t shown sympathy. If my girlfriend hadn’t seen that I loved her and was ready to do anything for her.”       “I always want to be with you…” Blanca replies with pity in her eyes. “And I want to make you happy.”       “Happy?” Daniel wonders loudly and stops sharply in front of Blanca. You think I could be happy if I were with the one I hadn’t known before what happened?”       “You to be able to love me!”       “You are crazy? Love the one, who got hysterical in the middle of the street because of jealousy of me and every column? Everything and everyone: your sister, girls, men, children, women, old people, birds, and animals! You find any reason to start a scandal! Any normal person wouldn’t tolerate this life and would run away from you!”       “It to be my character. I to keep what I have too hard.”       “Do you think total control and a check of personal things is fine? You tried to control me in everything, starting with isolating me from everybody I spoke to and finishing with a forced check of my phone, computer, laptops, and social networks! You made me fight with all my friends and told me to leave the band!”       “Any person wants to be the only one in their sweetheart’s life.” “But not everyone would tolerate this type of cheek and isolation from the world! And I actually hate someone controlling me, giving me no personal space, and checking my fucking phone and computer. I’ve always valued freedom highly, and I want to decide where to go, what to do, who to talk with, and who to love or hate.”       “I just want to make sure that you not to cheat on me,” Blanca sobs quietly. “You to be so handsome and provided… Any girl to go around you and dream to be with you.”       “I had experience in this type of relationship. And it didn’t lead to anything good! My close people stopped recognizing me, and I stopped being me and left all my hobbies to please that sick, hysterical girl. I had to do my best to leave her! And I don’t let anyone control me. And I always rejected girls and stopped speaking to people if someone just hinted at the wish to do that.”       “Other people not to know what you want. But I know.”       “You know nothing about me, girl,” Daniel smirks evilly. “You decided to control my life and put an eye on my wealth. You enter my house as if you’re the owner and plan to change something… You wanna spend my money on clothes, cosmetics, and food. And you asked for the most expensive ring. With a fucking brilliant!”       “I see nothing bad in having an expensive ring. Any girl to dream about it!”       “Yeah? Didn’t you think I would need to buy something for me? Or children, who you dream about? What would they eat? What would your man eat? Or the most important thing is that you eat, have a lot of clothes, and bathe in gold?”       “I never say it.”       “I give a fuck!” Daniel throws rudely. “It doesn’t make sense. If you wanted to stay here legally by getting me married to you, receiving a green card, and owning all of my money and property, your plan is ruined, deary. I am not going to feed you and your whole family! And I am going to let nobody move in here.”       “Daniel, por favor…”       “Stop!” Daniel waves his hand sharply. “Look for another idiot, who would tolerate you and your claims. But I doubt that you will stay here for a long time.”       “Why you think I do it for money? I not to be as materialistic as you think! My only wish is to be with you. Be with the one I madly love.”       “No? You live with your parents and sister in terrible conditions and are resentful that you, a poor and unhappy baby, are forced to work. It’s an insult and humiliation to you. You are a kind of princess! A princess that wants to do nothing!”       “Daniel…”       “No, it’s okay you don’t want to work. But if it’s so, watch your home, at least. I can’t remember you expressing a wish to cook, wash, clean, and something like that. You wanna lie on a sofa, watch some shows, and just eat for a whole day. While other people do everything for you. That’s your perfect life.”       “You to be unfair to me…”       “You can’t even clean your room. It was disgusting to be there when you brought me to your home. And your parents were also ashamed that their daughter was such a lazy, dirty girl. Yes, maybe, I’m not obsessed with cleanness and often throw my things everywhere. That’s why I was kicked by my girlfriend many times. But my house has never been as dirty as a pig’s home. I can serve myself and do this.”       “No, mi amor, don’t say it… Please… I love you… Te quiero mucho, mucho…”       “And I don’t! I’ve never loved you! And I wouldn’t love such a hysterical, lazy, and shameless girl like you!”       “Daniel…”       “You were disgusting to me even when I remembered nothing. I wanted to run away from you. You know how happy I was when you finally got out. Though, it seemed weird to me, and I couldn’t understand why. But now I got it. I was just deceived.”       “You hurt me, querida…”       “Don’t even dare to hope that I will at least respect you. It will never happen. Never!”       “We belong to each other! I come to this world to be your wife and give birth to your children.”       “In your dreams. In real life, there is only one girl I love. For whom I would do anything. Without whom I can’t imagine my life.”       “No…” Blanca shakes her head. “Please, don’t do say it… You hurt me…”       “Am I not hurt?” Daniel explodes. “Didn’t you the fuck hurt me? Didn’t you make me feel like a moron? The moron, who was deceived by a girl.”       “Listen, Daniel, I…”       “You lied to me, Blanca! You lied indolently. You made me forget about the feelings that I felt when talking to my real friends. I felt I knew them, but you made me believe you, the false lair. Who told me the lies and pretended that the things that happened between me and my girlfriend happened between me and you.”       “It not to be true, Daniel, not true!” Blanca protests desperately with tears in her eyes. “You to be unfair to me!”       “But you, girl, forgot something: I would remember everything early or late, as Mia already noticed. Someday, I would realize how cruelly I was deceived by you. How easily I was made to fight with my friends and cheat on my girlfriend. Even if I didn’t want to do it! I felt very good with my girlfriend and my friends.”       “I just want to be with you. I want to get married to you. To have a beautiful wedding. To give birth to a baby from you. I want to be beloved. I want to live well.”       “Your plan was ruined, Blanca. There will be no wedding. And you will not especially give birth to children from me.”       “No, Daniel, no…”       “Your plan would’ve been doomed to fail anyway. When your lie had come to light, and some people had confirmed everything. I would've gone to get divorced from you immediately if you had taken me to the altar before getting my memories back.”       “NO!” Blanca screams hysterically. “NOT TO BELIEVE MY SISTER! SHE TO LIE TO YOU AND WANT TO RUIN OUR HAPPINESS BECAUSE SHE NOT TO BE HAPPY!”       “By the way, many things that Mia told me about are very interesting. For example, multiple attempts to get into my house or the case when you got kicked out of the show of my band without a ticket.”       “YOU TO BE IDIOT IF YOU BELIEVE THIS BLACK SHEEP!” Blanca shouts, waving her hands sharply. “YOU MUST BELIEVE ME! ONLY ME!”       “STOP YELLING AT MY HOUSE!” Daniel demands loudly, clenching his hands into fists tightly with a heavy breath and widely open eyes. “Stop, Moreno! Your tale has ended. Your lie has been revealed.”       “NO! NO, DON’T SAY SO! PLEASE!”       “I will never forgive you for what you did. And I swear, I will not leave it unpunished! Even if I don’t get your family to be deported to Spain, I will give my everything to get the protection of the police. Do my best for YOU TO LEAVE ME ALONE! And don’t dare to say at least one bad word about my girlfriend, my friends, or my sister! Or you will regret it!”       “NO, DON’T GO TO THE POLICE!” Blanca shouts with widely open eyes. “¡POR FAVOR! NO!”       “I’m not going to persuade you, Moreno. Either you leave me alone at your wish, or I do everything for you to be prosecuted for meddling in my personal life. And trust me, you are about to get a long sentence. And since you’re already on the hook of the police, you’re gonna get much more problems.”       “YOU NOT TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS TO ME!”       “Oh, I can do.”       “I TO BE YOUR FIANCÉE! YOU MUST GET MARRIED TO ME AND HAVE A CHILD WITH ME!”       “I must do nothing for you!” Daniel throws coldly. “And you will not owe me if you agree to leave me alone.”       “NO! I NOT TO WANT IT! NO!”       With these words, Blanca runs to Daniel and wants to hug him tightly and caress his face. But he immediately prevents this attempt by pushing the girl off himself rudely.       “Don’t get closer to me!” Daniel demands loudly.       “¡Por favor, Daniel!” Blanca shouts with despair and tears in her eyes. “We to be made for each other!”       “You will tell your tales to your parents, relatives, and cellmates,” Daniel says coldly and threatens Blanca with a finger. “I will no longer let you touch me and lick me.”       “So, you to leave me? You not to want to be with me?”       “You’ve never been my girlfriend or fiancée!”       “NO! NO, DANIEL, PLEASE! DON’T DO THIS! I LOVE YOU! I NOT TO BE ABLE TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU!” Blanca puts her hands on her hands. “MI CORAZON TO BELONG TO YOU. I NOT TO BE ABLE TO BE HAPPY IF YOU NOT TO BE BY MY SIDE!”       “I said everything, bitch!” Daniel shouts, raising his hand. “You will pay for using my condition so insolently!”       “N-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O!”       “You’ve lost, Blanca,” Mia says quietly. “Daniel knows and remembers everything. So. you will not deceive him anymore.”       Blanca starts crying quietly, wiping the tears off her face at times. “You were afraid that it would happen early or late. And you were doing your best to hide Daniel from what would help him get his memories back. You hoped he’d never recall his life if you struck everybody he knew out of his life. You even wanted to take Daniel with you to Spain, but our parents said he’d bother us. Though, you’d be happy to take him there and do your best for him to never return to New York. And you’d make him change his name to erase his real personality and come up with a new one. I mean, you thought about it.”       Blanca says nothing for a few seconds and slowly moves her burning look to Mia, literally making a hole in her sister’s head and clenching her hands into fists so tightly that her chuckles get white.       “It’s all you…” Blanca hisses through her teeth, breathing like an enraged bull. “You to be guilty, pequeña perra! YOU PAY ME! BECAUSE YOU TO RUIN MY LIFE!”       Blanca runs to Mia as fast as a bullet and gives her a strong slap on the face before Daniel pulls her away.       “YOU TO RUIN MY HAPPINESS, BITCH!” Blanca shouts hysterically, trying to get out of Daniel’s grip. “BECAUSE OF YOU, I NOT TO GET MARRIED TO MY BELOVED MAN!”       “You must get therapy, idiot!” Mia knocks on her temple, rounding her eyes. “What did you the hell do? The man lived quietly and was happy, but then you showed up and decided to set up your own rules.”       “I KILL YOU, PEQUEÑA BASURA! ¡TE MATO!”       Blanca acting like a furious dog tries to attack Mia being frightened by her mentally ill sister, but Daniel does not let her do it by pulling her aside sharply.       “Stop screaming here!” Daniel demands loudly. “Calm down! Calm down, I said!”       “SHE TO RUIN MY LIFE!” Blanca shouts, pointing at Mia with a finger. “THIS PEQUEÑA PERRA TO MESS UP EVERYTHING WHEN SHE TO OPEN HER DIRTY MOUTH!”       “Oh, shit, what did your sister do to you that you get your hate out on her? Who will you count on when you lose your parents? They will not live forever! Or do you give a fuck about them?”       “I count on you, mi amor,” Blanca replies with a slight smile. “You to help me and to be with me until the end of our lives.”       “I say again, if you understand badly.” Daniel turns Blanca sharply on himself and takes her under her arms tightly. “I WILL NEVER BE WITH YOU! NEVER! NEVER!”       “Then…” Blanca pronounces in a loud, shaking voice. “Then… THEN I KILL MYSELF! YES, RIGHT HERE!”       “Don’t say stupid things, Blanca.”       “I TO BE SERIOUS! I KILL MYSELF BECAUSE I NOT TO WANT TO LIVE IF YOU NOT TO BE WITH ME!”       “Gosh, Blanca, stop saying some nonsense…” Mia exhales sharply.       “I KILL YOU, TOO, BETRAYER! ¡Y NO ME IMPORTA LO QUE SEAS MI HERMANA!”       “Estoy avergonzada de que seas mi hermana, Blanca. It would be much better if I were the only child of my parents or weren’t actually born. It’s hurtful for me to live and know I have such a crazy and hysterical sister, who is ready to do anything to reach her goals.”       “IT TO BE MUTUAL, BLACK SHEEP!” Blanca shouts.       “You know, I would be happy if you were put in prison or in a mental hospital. Very happy! I would go home with pleasure. Because I’d know that there wouldn’t be you, a sick, hysterical girl, who drives me and our parents crazy.”       “I not to let you ruin my life and separate me from my sweetheart! I NOT TO LET! WE TO BE TOGETHER! I DO MY BEST TO MAKE IT REAL!”       “Fuck, are you stupid and deaf?” Daniel resents loudly. “You’ve been told a thousand times that the show is over! OVER, THE FUCK! FOREVER!”       “She to want to ruin our happiness, mi amor,” Blanca says with pity in her eyes, holding Daniel’s arm tightly. “Por favor, querida, don’t believe this liar!”       “I said don’t touch me!” Daniel gets his arm sharply out of Blanca’s grip.       “I love you! And I want to be with you.”       “STOP REPEATING THE SAME THING LIKE A PARROT!” Daniel explodes. “Love! Love! Didn’t betray! Didn’t lie! I GET A HEADACHE FROM YOUR SHOUTS! If you behaved like this toward other men, I’m very sorry for them. I am sorry because they had to do with a sick, hysterical girl.”       “Daniel, por favor…”       “No girl got me as mad and irritated as you do. Even the one I barely left! And even my former friends from my teenage years didn’t do such disgusting things to me.”       “Please, understand me…”       “It would’ve been okay if you’d been chasing me when I had my memory. Though, I would have fucked you off immediately. But using my fucking amnesia is really nasty.”       “It to be a coincidence…” Blanca excuses herself with tears in her eyes. “It just to happen so…”       “No, Blanca, it’s not a coincidence, it’s a good plan. But it was doomed to fail from the beginning. First, I would’ve found out about your insolent lies and left you. And second, I wouldn’t have fallen in love with you even when I had amnesia. My heart has never forgotten my love.”       “No, you to love me. I do my best to make you forget that girl, who not to deserve such a wonderful man.”       “Ha, you’ve never seemed attractive to me! Yes, I wasn’t attracted to you at all! I wanted to find any excuse to run away from you. Because you’re terribly disgusting to me.”       “No, I not to believe it…” Blanca shakes her head.       “And third, after such an insolent lie, a person doesn’t surely deserve love and forgiveness. They must get what they deserve. And trust me, I will do my best for that.”       “YOU LIE TO ME!” Blanca shouts with tears in her eyes. “You love me, LOVE! I know that you love me as much as I love you!”       “Maybe, in your dreams. But everything is otherwise in real life.”       “POR FAVOR, DANIEL…”       “You know, girl…” Daniel glances at the watch hanging on the wall. “I guess the time has come. It’s time to have a lot of fun.”       “What? What you to mean?”       “M-m-m…” Daniel nods with a mysterious smile. “I have a surprise for you. I mean, a few surprises.”       “Surprises?” Blanca gets excited, rounding her eyes. “Gifts! Oh, I love them so much!”       “You’re gonna love them, I promise.”       “Gosh… You to give me a ring for our engagement?”       “It’s something much better.”       “Where’s it? C’mon, mi amor, I want to put it on!”       “Don’t worry, you will see it now.”       Daniel turns around and goes confidently to the partition that tears the kitchen and the living room in two. The man comes to Anna, nods with a slight smile, takes her hand, and keeps his head proudly raised when coming back to the foreigner.       “Here’s my first surprise,” Daniel says confidently with a mysterious smile.       Blanca being furious literally gets green and opens her eyes that get dark from anger wider, feeling how every single muscle of hers is shaking at the sight of Anna being confident enough and, as she silently notices, attractive enough.       “WHAT?” Blanca explodes, while her lips barely shake. “WHAT IS THIS MOTE? WHO SHE TO BE? HOW SHE TO END UP HERE?”       “This is my real girlfriend,” Daniel says with his head proudly raised, hugging Anna around the shoulders. “The one I love with all my heart and will give to nobody.”       “What? What the…”       “And I tell you to treat her with respect. Or you’re going to have to deal with me.”       “I ASK YOU AGAIN… WHO THIS CHICKEN TO BE? WHAT SHE TO DO HERE?”       “I am going to teach you not to steal taken men,” Anna says confidently, crossing her arms over her chest and looking at Blanca with cold eyes full of contempt. “And not to use them when they are not able to resist.”       “WHAT YOU TO DO AT MY HOUSE? IT TO BE MY TERRITORY! I NOT TO INVITE YOU HERE!”       “Yeah? I can’t remember the owner of this house saying you’ve become the owner.”       “I GIVE YOU THREE SECONDS TO GET OFF MY FIANCÉ AND GET OUT OF HERE,” Blanca threatens Anna with a finger. “YOU GET IT, DYED OTTER?”       “Yeah, why should I get off him?” Anna wonders, putting her arms around the small of Daniel’s back, pressing herself close to him, and kissing him on the cheek. “This is my man, and I can hug and kiss him as much as I want.”       “Do not make me wild, bitch. OR YOU REGRET IT! REGRET THAT YOU TO STAND IN MY WAY!”       “No, deary, I advise you to get out of here. Before you lose all of your thin hair. Which you washed one week ago in the best case.”       “So, you to threaten me?”       “No yet. But I’m warning you, if you start getting stuck with Daniel again, I will not pity you. You, bitch, got me wild enough. And I have wanted to strangle you for a long time! Since I saw you in the room when you insolently accosted the one to belong to me.”       “Ha, what an insolence!” Blanca smirks contemptuously. “N-no, you to hear it, Daniel? This dyed chicken to threaten me! Threats the owner of this house!”       “Leave Daniel alone, Blanca Moreno!” Anna demands rudely. “You have no right to lick and feel him up so insolently!”       “Daniel to be my fiancé and to become my husband soon.” “Never! This man is only mine and nobody else! If I have to, I am ready to cut the throat of any bitch for him.”       “Who are you to talk to me like this?”       “The one, who you wanted to make an ex-girlfriend that got Daniel exhausted with hysterics. The one he got sick of. The one he allegedly left for you.”       “Ah… So, you to be the sick girl, who that pathetic blond and his gang to praise so hard? The one they want to see Daniel with!”       “Don’t tell me you wanted to have him wrapped around your finger all his life.”       “Listen, dry fish, get out of here before I put your insolent face against the working gas stove.”       “Your threats don’t scare me, Spaniard,” Anna smirks evilly. “And I’d be happy to put your head in the fireplace.”       “You to do nothing to me, pathetic chicken!”       “Oh, I can do many things! I am a well-educated, intelligent person and can behave like a real lady. But I can also be cruel and heartless if some bitches like you decide to put an eye on what I got first.”       “GET OFF MY MAN, BITCH! I NOT TO PITY YOU IF YOU TO STAND NEXT TO HIM!”       “No, you don’t dare to lick him with your smelly tongue and get your dirty hand into his pants!”       “HE TO BELONG TO ME! HE TO HAVE NOBODY BUT ME! WE TO BE MADE FOR EACH OTHER!”       “Daniel is not and has never been yours,” Anna explodes. “You used him insolently when he knew nothing and made him betray me. Even if he never wanted it and was very happy with me and those, who surrounded him.”       “LIE! YOU TO BE JEALOUS OF MY HAPPINESS AND WANT TO STEAL MY FIANCÉ!”       “Stop denying it, hysterical girl! Your sister told us how you went nuts because of your love for Daniel and pretended to be his wife and the owner of the house that belongs to him.”       “I NOT TO GIVE YOU DANIEL, SNAKE! HE TO BE MINE! I TO HAVE TO BECOME HIS WIFE!”       “Even if I get married, I will only get married to my real girlfriend,” Daniel replies confidently. “Who I love to death and will not exchange to anyone.”       “Ah, you… Liar…” Blanca runs to Daniel sharply and threatens him with a finger. “So, you cheat on me? CHEAT ON ME WITH THIS OTTER?”       “I cheated! On her, not you! Because of you!”       “I know it… I KNOW YOU GET ANOTHER GIRL WHILE MY FAMILY TO LEAVE!” Blanca grabs Daniel sharply by the collar and shakes him strongly. “YOU ALWAYS LIE! LIE THAT I TO BE YOUR ONLY SWEETHEART!”       “Get your dirty hands off me!” Daniel moves Blanca’s hands rudely off himself.       “HOW YOU COULD? I BELIEVE YOU! BUT YOU CHEAT ON ME WITH SOMEONE!”       “Sweetie, who are you to talk to my man like this?” Anna resents, putting her hands on her hips. “He hadn’t known you before you came to his room and started to get stuck on him like a maggot!”       “I TO BE HIS FIANCÉE! HE TO BE MY FIANCÉ!”       “Daniel is your victim! Because of you, I nearly made the greatest mistake of my life! I almost left the one I love, despite nothing!”       “You leave him, bitch,” Blanca threatens Anna with a finger. “You leave Daniel and give him to me! AND NEVER COME BACK TO HIS LIFE!”       “Never! I will not leave him at my wish! If you want to be with him, you’ll have to kill me.”       “I TO KILL!” Blanca grabs Anna sharply by the collar and shakes her strongly. “I CUT YOUR THROAT!”       With these words, Blanca pushes Anna rudely and sharply, and then Daniel instantly runs up to the foreigner and takes her under an arm tightly.       “Get your hands off her!” Daniel meddles, runs to Blanca shortly, and grabs her tightly under the arms. “You will not dare to touch my girlfriend with a finger. Especially at MY house!”       “I NOT TO TOLERATE A STRANGER AT MY HOUSE! ESPECIALLY A FUCKING GIRL!”       “CALM THE FUCK DOWN!” Daniel screams with widely open eyes, shaking Blanca sharply by the shoulders. “STOP SCREAMING AT MY HOUSE! YOU ARE NOBODY HERE! NOTHING HERE BELONGS TO YOU! NO-THIS-NG!”       “Kick this shameless gal out of my home,” Blanca demands coldly. “She to put an eye on what to belong to me.”       “It’s not your house! And it will never be yours!”       “I TELL YOU TO KICK HER OUT!”       “DO NOT DARE TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO! You are at my house. At my territory.”       “IF YOU DON’T KICK THIS MOP OUT OF HERE, I GRAB HER BY THE HAIR AND KICK HER OUT!”       “She will not leave!” Daniel says confidently. “Because this house belongs to her and me.”       “So, you confess that you to cheat on me with this otter?”       “Don’t make me wild, bitch.”       “ANSWER MY QUESTION NOW!”       “Did I say something unclear?” Daniel wonders, not hiding his irritation. “How many times do I repeat that I love this girl, not you? HOW MANY? When will you realize that I ONLY LOVE HER!”       “So, you confess that you to cheat on me?”       “Think what you want. But I will never be with you. And I will do my best for you to leave me alone forever.”       “CHEATER!”       Blanca starts beating Daniel on his arms and chest and falls into an uncontrolled hysteria, while Anna knocks at her temple with rolled eyes, deciding not to attack the foreigner first, no matter how much she wants it.       “I DO EVERYTHING FOR YOU, BUT YOU BETRAY ME!” Blanca shouts hysterically, still beating Daniel. “CHEATER! I HATE YOU! I HATE!”       “Gosh, Blanca, you look funny now,” Mia shakes her head with horror in her eyes. “Why are you so stubborn that you don’t wanna confess that your plan is ruined? The real girlfriend of Daniel is standing in front of you! He loves her! And he has never known you.”       “YOU! YOU!” Blanca runs to Mia and threatens her with a finger, breathing heavily enough and looking at her sister with widely open, bloodshot eyes. “YOU AGREE WITH THIS DEAD CHICKEN AND DECIDE TO RUIN MY LIFE!”       “Are you insane?” Mia knocks at a temple. “I see this girl for the first time in my life!”       “YOU WANT ME TO BE SINGLE ALL MY LIFE! YOU TO BE JEALOUS THAT I FIND THE ONE TO MAKE ME HAPPY!”       “Listen, what if we call a mental hospital and ask them to send the doctors here?” Anna suggests confidently, looking at Blanca contemptuously with her arms crossed over her chest. “So, they take you where you belong!”       “You want to make a healthy person to be with psyches? YOU WANT ME TO GO CRAZY? WITHOUT MY FIANCÉ!”       “You should’ve been taken there a long time ago!” Mia exclaims confidently. “You don’t differentiate reality from fantasies!”       “I NOT TO LET YOU RUIN MY LIFE!” Blanca shouts, sounding a little hoarse after shouting loudly. “NOT TO LET!”       “You better leave my man alone at your wish,” Anna demands coldly. “Or I shall beat you, so that even a dog doesn’t look at you.”       “DANIEL TO MARRY ME ANYWAY!”       “Keep dreaming, deary! You’ll never get him. He is only mine! If you want to fight with me for death, not life, I am ready.”       “YOU!” Blanca runs to Anna as fast as a bullet and threatens her with a finger, while Daniel tries to be closer to his girlfriend and Mia to save them from the foreigner, who is kind of getting out of her mind. “You steal my fiancé! THE FIANCÉ THAT I LOVE SO MUCH! YOU STEAL HIM, DYED OTTER! STEAL!”       “You almost stole Daniel from me,” Anna protests loudly. “This man was loyal to me! And he would’ve been if you, bitch, hadn’t ruined our lives. We wouldn’t have experienced what we had to experience because of you!”       “Don’t flatter yourself, bag of bones. Daniel to be never interested in such a dried fish as you. He to love curvy girls. He to love to touch boobs and asses, not pimples.”       “Yeah? Did he say he loved some fat cows like you? Like the one, who hasn’t washed her hair for age, tries to put on clothes, the size of which doesn’t fit her, and can’t get a good manicure.”       “You hear it, Daniel?” Blanca sniffs quietly. “This bitch to insult me and call me fat. Just like the blond-haired asshole, who to kick you out of the band with the help of his pals.”       “Yes, you are fat!” Anna throws gloomily. “Fat, non-educated, and egoistic scumbag, whose face I want to decorate to death!”       “I not to believe it…” Blanca makes a quiet sob. “This dead fish to insult me at mi casa. And you, Daniel, TO DO NOTHING! AS IF IT TO BE RIGHT!”       “You will not make me shut up. And I will be saying everything I think of the one I want to strangle with my own hands to death.”       “Stop showing off. Daniel not to be interested in you.”       “Yeah, I believe he said who he loved.”       “Ha, he just to play the fool with you, stupid chicken!” Blanca scoffs contemptuously. “Daniel to love only me – as much as I love him.”       “You will have to accept the fact that Daniel belongs to me. And I’m the only one to be able to hug and kiss him everywhere.”       “NO! HE TO BE MINE!” Blanca takes Daniel tightly under the arm, presses him sharply to herself, and puts her arm around his waist, looking at Anna with her head proudly raised. “Envy and bite your elbows, otter!”       “Get your hands off me,” Daniel demands coldly, trying to get out of Blanca’s grip. “Let me go, I said!” “Mi querida and I to get married very soon,” Blanca says confidently. “He to buy the most expensive ring and propose to me to marry. And I to surely agree to make him the happiest man and live my whole life with him.”       “Insolent lie!” Daniel steps back from Blanca rudely. “I didn’t propose to you and ain’t even gonna do that crazy thing.”       “Por favor, mi amor, not to be so humble. Tell this chicken that she not to be able to count on anything.”       “Gosh, why are you so stupid? I said, there would be no wedding! You will not control my life! I will decide who to live with and who to get married to!”       “B-b-b-but…” Blanca opens her mouth, blinking her eyes surprisingly. “But why, mi amor? You get down on your knee and propose to me to marry!”       “Hello, girl, I remember everything! Don’t make me a crazy man, who does something and forgets it.”       “You to gift me the most expensive and wonderful ring.”       “And where is it?” Anna sneers contemptuously. “I don’t see it!”       “Daniel to promise to show it,” Blanca smiles slyly, moving her eyes to Daniel. “Right, mi gatitio?”       “Stop this show, storyteller!” Daniel demands in a low, rude voice. “This focus won’t work anymore!”       “Also, we invite my family and friends to our wedding. My family to come here from Spain for this event with pleasure.”       “They’re gonna be disappointed,” Daniel says confidently. “Because one sick liar told everyone that she’d allegedly get married to the one, who never saw her. They’re gonna be overwhelmed if they know you pretended to be my fiancée, made me cheat on my real love, and turned me against my friends.”       “I tell them that we to get married soon. That you and I to bring them here and let them live in this house.”       “No, sweetie, you will bring them to your home! I ain’t gonna provide for you and your family. And I will not hide the illegal immigrants at my home and spend my money to get the documents for them. I don’t need problems with the law and the police!”       “But… But, Daniel…”       “But your parents definitely guessed that you lied to them insolently about me. I saw that they looked at me with suspicion. Of course, they couldn’t kick me out and tried to be gentle. But your father and mother understood everything.”       “¡No, no, mi gatito,” Blanca protests, shaking her head sharply. “You to be wrong. Mommy and Daddy to love you so much and approve of our wish to get married. They… They just not to be ready that I talk about a wedding. But… I explain that we to date for a long time and hide it.”       “Alright, close your mouth!” Daniel cuts off sharply. “I’m sick of listening to this bullshit!”       “And my mother to help me choose a dress. I choose the most beautiful and expensive one, and you pay for it. Because… I not to have money. And you must give it to me.”       “What?” Anna sneers contemptuously. “What an insolence this lady has! A party for someone’s account!”       “I will pay for nothing!” Daniel says confidently. “None of your caprices!”       “Of course, you pay!” Blanca protests. “It to be out of the discussion!”       “Huh, what are you going to ask me about later? Sign my property over to you? Give you the house, which my parents gifted me? And my car, the money for which I was getting for nobody the hell knows how long? Give you everything I’ve earned?”       “You to be a man!” Blanca recalls loudly. “And you must provide for me!”       “Yeah, as well as your family? Shouldn’t I pay for someone’s university or college? Or should I actually buy an apartment and a car for all of them? Or make every single member of your family an owner of my wealth? Should I wear only my underwear, die from starvation, and get frozen in the cold weather?”       “No, I…”       “In short, Blanca, look for another idiot, who would agree to do this crazy thing. Though, I’m already sorry for the man, who would love to gold someone like you.”       “I wonder, how many men have run away from this fat hysterical gal?” Anna asks with an evil smirk. “Or don’t even rejects get a crush on our behemoth?”       “No need to be jealous, anorexic girl,” Blanca throws rudely. “Daniel and I to marry soon and be very happy.”       “Never!” Daniel cuts off sharply.       “We. To get. Married. Soon. YOU TO HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING I SAY!”       “Don’t dare to tell me what to do, bitch!”       “KICK THIS MOP OUT OF MY HOUSE NOW! AND DELETE HER NUMBERS AND PHOTOS OF HER!”       “I will kick YOU out of MY home! WITH MY OWN HANDS!”       “Hey… So, you to take your words back and cancel our engagement? You leave me?”       “I say again, I will never marry you. I will be with my girlfriend, who I love with all my heart. Who loves and respects me. Who doesn’t tie my legs and hands up, respects my word, doesn’t get jealous of all columns and me, and always remains honest with me.”       Blanca gets sharply white and opens her mouth widely, while tears come to her eyes.       “No…” Blanca shakes her head. “No… No… No… NO! N-O-O-O-O-O-O!”       Blanca clenches her hands into hard fists, breathing heavily and looking at Daniel with hate.       “NO, I NOT TO WANT TO BELIEVE IT!” Blanca screams at the top of her lungs. “I NOT TO ACCEPT IT!”       “Come on, cow, get out of here,” Anna demands with her head proudly raised. “Before people in white robes take you away.”       “NO-O-O-O-O-O-O! NO! TO BE TOGETHER TO BE OUR DESTINY! DANIEL TO BE DESTINED TO ME!”       Blanca looks around the whole room with wide eyes and moves them to a glassy, small vase placed on the table near the partition between the kitchen and the living room. Not thinking too much, she runs to it sharply, takes it, and breaks it by throwing it against the wall. Daniel, Anna, and Mia open their mouths and round their eyes with fear that the foreigner may crush the whole house. Instead, the older of the Moreno sisters takes one of the pieces and puts it against her throat, starting to breathe much heavier with disheveled hair and looking at everybody with widely open eyes.       “No, Blanca!” Mia gets horrified loudly.       “I KILL MYSELF RIGHT HERE!” Blanca threatens. “IF DANIEL TO LEAVE ME, I SWEAR I TO CUT MY THROAT!”       “Are you really crazy? Throw the piece now!”       “I NOT TO WANT TO LIVE WITHOUT MY SWEETHEART! I NOT TO WANT ANY OTHER MAN BUT DANIEL!”       “Calm down, Blanca,” Anna demands coldly. “Nobody will pity you after your pathetic show.”       “THIS TO BE WHAT YOU WANT, YEAH? YOU WANT THAT I TO KILL MYSELF?”       “Please, sister, don’t do stupid things,” Mia begs with despair and pity in her eyes. “You don’t understand what you are doing!”       “Stop, Blanca, indeed,” Daniel says confidently. “You will get nothing.”       “LEAVE THIS HUSSY, DANIEL!” Blanca puts the piece of glass against her throat tighter. “IF YOU NOT TO LEAVE, I KILL MYSELF!”       “Throw the piece, Blanca.” Daniel takes Anna’s hand, trying not to leave her, so Blanca does not harm her. “Don’t do more much stupider things.”       “I DO IT IF YOU TO GET MARRIED TO ME!”       “I’m serious, Blanca! I don’t need problems because of the murder committed at my house.”       “THE POLICE TO THINK THAT YOU KILL ME! THAT YOU TO BE GUILTY OF KILLING ME! IT TO HAPPEN IF YOU NOT TO LEAVE THIS FISH!”       “I said, don’t do stupid things!”       “IF YOU NOT TO WANT TO BE WITH ME, I PREFER TO DIE THAN LIVE AND SEE HOW YOU HUG AND KISS THIS DYED WALKING SKELETON!” Blanca screams, putting the piece tighter to her throat. “AND YOU TO FEEL GUILTY OF MY DEATH!”       “Blanca, please, don’t do this,” Mia begs in a shaking voice with tears in her eyes. “Think of our mom, dad, grandparents, aunt and uncle… They’d be devastated if something happened to you.”       “NOBODY TO FEEL SORRY FOR ME! EVERYBODY TO REMEMBER THAT I TO EXIST.”       “That’s not the truth. Everybody loves you very much and wishes you the best.”       “EVERYBODY EXPECT MY BELOVED MAN! HE TO WANT THAT I TO DIE! HE TO WANT ANOTHER GAL!”       “You’re too young yet, sister. Someday, you’ll meet the man, who will love you and be ready to put the whole world to your feet.”       “I NOT TO WANT ANOTHER MAN! I WANT DANIEL! MY PLAN TO BE SO PERFECT, BUT YOU, SISTER, TO MESS UP EVERYTHING!”       “Change your mind, Blanca, please…”       “YOU WANT MY DEATH – WATCH THIS!”       While Mia is crying quietly, Daniel comes to Blanca quickly, grabs her hand with the piece, and takes the sharp thing from her by force, even if she resists so hard.       “NO!” Blanca screams hysterically. “I WANT TO KILL MYSELF! I NOT TO WANT TO LIVE! NO-O-O-O-O!”       “SHUT UP, HYSTERICAL LADY!” Daniel demands loudly, tightly holding Blanca’s hand and looking at her with evil in her eyes. “STOP DOING STUPID THINGS!”       “Por favor, mi amor, come back to me,” Blanca begs with despair and tears and sniffs quietly. “I to do anything you want and be much better than this tattered rat.”       “Don’t dare to insult this girl at my house!”       “Why you to love this mop, Daniel? I to be better! She not to love you the way I love.” “You aren’t worth her nail! She’s the best girl of those I’ve ever known.”       “OUR DESTINY IS TO BE TOGETHER!”       “My destiny is her. My heart belongs to her.”       “No, mi amor, please, don’t leave me… You to have to become my husband and the father of our children…”       Blanca squeezes Daniel in a tight hug, wishing not only to get his caress but also to provoke Anna, who, as she thinks, is too quiet. And Moreno does it because Seymour starts breathing too heavily clenching her hand into fists tightly and looking at her rival with a burning look with a wish to strangle her.       “Mi amor, mi vida, mi gatito…” Blanca pronounces with a blissful smile, leaving her kisses on Daniel’s face. “Te quiero mucho, mucho, mucho. Tú eres la razón en mi vida, en mi existir… Let’s be together… Oh, mi sol y mi luna…”       “Let me go,” Daniel demands rudely, trying to push Blanca off himself. “Hear me! Stop it!”       “Don’t be shy, querida. Don’t do it…”       “Blanca!” Daniel steps back from Blanca sharply and pushes her off himself. “Stop, I said!”       “C’mon, sweetie, show me everything you can,” Blanca hugs Daniel tightly again and starts covering his face with kisses with greater passion, starting to moan sensually at some moment. “I want you… M-m-m… I to be able to do a blowjob for you…”       Despite all the attempts by Daniel to push Blanca off, she starts accosting him much harder, letting her thighs rub his groin and trying to get her hand underneath his t-shirt or in his pants. It becomes the last drop for Anna. Not being able to overcome jealousy, she runs to Moreno shortly, grabs her painfully by the hair, and pulls her rudely far from Perkins.       “Bitch!” Anna shouts. “I shall kill you, asshole! KILL! I shall do what I’ve been dreaming for nobody the hell knows how long!”       Anna slaps Blanca strongly in the face two times with great pleasure and pulls her painfully by the hair, while the foreigner winces from pain and screams hysterically:       “A-A-A-A, HELP ME! SHE WANTS TO KILL ME! A-A-A!”       “Fat cow!” Anna throws rudely and pushes Blanca strongly, so that she falls to the floor. “How much blood you’ve sucked out of me… I will kick you… Show you where you belong! Rat… Bitch!”       “HELP! SOMEONE! SHE WANTS TO KILL ME!”       “Close your dirty mouth, bitch!” Anna gives Blanca a couple of more strong slaps in the face. “You will pay me for wishing to steal what belongs to me. For daring to put an eye on MY MAN!”       “We to see it, dyed bitch!” Blanca gets up clumsily, hits Anna in the face, grabs her by the hair, and shakes her. “You not to get my fiancé painfully! I TO KILL YOU IF YOU NOT TO LEAVE HIM!”       “Daniel is mine, fat-ass pig!” Anna says confidently, grabs Blanca’s hair, and starts to pull it painfully. “If you don’t leave him alone, I shall kill you by myself!”       “Try then, anorexic girl!”       “Don’t make me wild, asshole, or you will regret it!”       “HELP!” Blanca begs hysterically after Anna gives her a couple of slaps in the face. “A-A-A-A! HELP!”       When Anna squeezes Blanca’s throat with her hands and starts strangling her strongly, Daniel and Mia meddle in it and barely break up the girls and pull them aside.       “Calm down, Anna, calm down,” Daniel says quietly, holding Anna tightly under her elbows. “Hey, hey, you hear me! Calm down!       “I’m gonna pull all of her hair!” Anna throws coldly, trying to get out of Daniel’s strong grip so hard. “I’ve been dreaming about nobody the fuck knows how long!”       “Don’t do this, sweetie, please.”       “Let me go, Perkins, I will kill this fat cow!”       “COME HERE, FLEA-BITTEN OTTER!” Blanca screams at the top of her lungs, while Mia is holding her so hard. “YOU NOT TO LIVE UNTIL THE EVENING!”       “Get a place in the cemetery, bitch! You’re gonna need it soon!”       “I SWEAR I TO MAKE YOU AN UGLY GAL THAT NOBODY TO LOOK AT!”       “I shall make your actually ugly face worse!”       “Go to a kindergarten and play with dolls, flat board! You to be too young to think of a man!”       “How did you get so fat, behemoth in thong? Your ass is bigger than a fridge! Snub nose, small eyes, and big ears! Clumsy! Slouched!”       “You to be a queen of beauty, fucking shorty? Where you to leave your ass and breasts?”       “I’m warning you for the last time: leave Daniel alone,” Anna demands loudly. “He is mine! MINE!”       “We to see it, fucking mop! Daniel to be with me! With the one to be a thousand times beautiful!”       “How’d you see your beauty?” Anna smirks contemptuously. “Even an orangutan would seem more beautiful next to you!”       “I to be attractive!”       “For whom? Your mommy and daddy? The only people, who talk about your beauty at least once per week!”       “I to want to look at the freak, who to talk about your beauty. That you to never have.”       Anna tries to start a fight again, forgetting about the shyness and restraint that she was taught in childhood. But she only slaps Blanca in the face and pulls her by the hair before Daniel takes her far, despite the resistance.       “No, Anna, don’t do it,” Daniel says quietly, hugging Anna tightly and caressing her head tenderly. “Don’t do it, please.”       “Let me go, Daniel,” Anna throws loudly, trying to get out of Daniel’s grip so hard. “I wanna put the ass of this fat cow on her head!”       “I MAKE YOU UGLY!” Blanca screams at the top of her lungs, trying to get out of the grip of Mia, who does not let her go, even if she understands that she does not have as much strength as Daniel does to hold her. “I WANT NOBODY TO LOOK AT YOU!”       “Blanca, Blanca, stop, stop!” Mia demands loudly. “Calm down, for God’s sake!”       “Let me go, Mia!” Blanca tries to get out of Mia’s grip sharply. “LET ME GO! I TO DESTROY THIS BITCH!”       “No! You may make this girl disabled!”       “I WANT IT! I WANT TO MAKE THIS BITCH THAT TO WANT TO STEAL MY FIANCÉ DISABLED!”       “Stop, sister, please.”       “LET ME GO!” Blanca demands loudly. “I beat this tattered cat. Not to let her even think about my beloved Daniel!”       “Close your mouth, slouched frog!” Anna shouts with evil in her eyes. “AND DON’T DARE TO CALL DANIEL YOURS! BECAUSE HE IS MINE!”       “You to do nothing to me, dead fish! You not to have the strength to fight with me!”       “You don’t know what I can do. What I can do when some fat cows TRY TO STEAL WHAT BELONGS TO ME!”       “Don’t wave your wings, chicken,” Blanca sneers evilly. “You to be at someone’s table soon.”       “BITCH!” Anna screams at the top of her lungs. “YOU WILL PAY ME FOR WISHING TO STEAL MY MAN!”       “Get wild, shorty, get wild! Maybe, you to die from evil. And nobody to stop me from getting married to my beloved man, who to love me so much.”       “You will never get Daniel! HE ONLY BELONGS TO ME!”       “You not to be able to fight with me. Because you to be weak. Weak for me. I DESTROY ANY GIRL, WHO TO LOOK AT DANIEL!”       “Excellent! We will fight for death, then!”       Anna attacks Blanca with fists again and starts pulling her by the hair around the whole living room, while the girl screams loudly and tries to answer somehow. While Daniel watches what’s happening with an open mouth, being shocked by seeing his girlfriend so excited and not thinking it would be so hard to hold her down on his own.       “HELP!” Blanca screams hysterically and shakes after every single slap in the face from the furious Anna. “I NOT TO WANT TO DIE! HELP ME!”       While Mia stands in the same place with widely open eyes and shakes her head, barely holding her tears down, Daniel runs to Blanca and Anna and tries to break the girls up, who share strong slaps in the face and pull each other painfully by the hair.       “Blanca, stop!” Daniel demands loudly, trying to take Anna far from Blanca, who is grabbing her tightly by the hair. “Let her go! Let go, I said!”       “Rat, I kill you,” Blanca hisses through her teeth. “You not to steal what belongs to me!”       “No, I will be fighting for what’s mine until the end,” Anna says confidently. “I am ready for anything! Even KILL YOU!”       Anna only gives Blanca a couple of slaps in the face and a strong enough hit on the head before Daniel takes her away from the foreigner, on whom he is turned with his back.       “Calm down, Anna, calm down,” Daniel says quietly, caressing the head and cheek of the excited Anna. “This girl wants to provoke you on purpose!”       “DO NOT DARE TO TOUCH THIS DYED BITCH!” Blanca screams at the top of her lungs and starts beating Daniel on the back with her fists. “GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER!”       “Stop it!” Daniel demands coldly, half turning on Blanca and still hugging Anna tightly. “Stop acting like a hysterical girl!”       “Get back, Daniel! I BEAT HER TO MAKE EVERYBODY SHAKE WHEN THEY TO SEE HER AND CALL HER UGLY!”       “I will not let you hurt my girlfriend.”       “DANIEL! I TELL YOU!”       “DON’T SCREAM AT ME!” Daniel turns on Blanca sharply, hiding Anna behind his back.       “YOU HEAR WHAT I SAY? I TELL YOU TO GET OFF HER AND LET ME KILL THIS BITCH!”       “Who the fuck are you to tell me what to do? You are nobody to me! Hear me, NOBODY!”       “YOU TO BE MY FUTURE HUSBAND! SO, YOU MUST LISTEN TO ME AND DO ANYTHING I SAY.”       “I should do NOTHING for you!”       “DANIEL!” Blanca hits furiously the floor with her foot. “I ORDER YOU!”       “I DO give orders here, NOT YOU! I am ordering you to FINALLY CLOSE YOUR FUCKING MOUTH!” “YOU TO BE TOO ARROGANT! WHY YOU NOT TO DO WHAT I SAY? WE TO HAVE A WEDDING SOON, BUT YOU DARE TO GO AGAINST ME!”       “THERE WILL NOT BE A WEDDING, YOU, BRAINLESS COW!” Anna screams irritably. “THERE WILL NOT BE!”       “NOBODY TO ASK YOU, WHORE!”       “If you don’t leave Daniel alone, I swear you will regret it!”       “No, YOU to regret that you dare to steal my fiancé!”       “Daniel has never been yours! He is mine! ONLY MINE! YOU GOT IT, PIG?”       “Keep dreaming, a bag of bones, Daniel to be with me!” Blanca says confidently. “I want it! My wish to be a law for mi amor!”       “Yeah, maybe, you will let him decide who he wants to be with?” Anna crosses her arms over her chest. “He’s an adult man and can make all decisions on his own.”       “He to decide everything and say that he to be with me.”       “Come on! I didn’t kind of hear it!”       “Because you to be deaf and stupid!”       “The one to be stupid here is you. You’ve been told a million times that Daniel will not be with you, but you keep proving that he didn’t mean it.”       “He always to be very shy to speak and want me to do this.”       “Lie! He can speak for himself! And his wishes aren’t the same as yours.”       “Stop talking for nothing, anorexic girl. I decide everything! Daniel to become my husband and the dad of my baby.”       “Does a man’s opinion mean nothing to you? Do you think you owe nobody, but the others should walk around you and make your wishes come true?”       “Of course, I appreciate what a man to say. But because Daniel to be shy to talk about his feelings, I have to speak for him.”       “Did you deprive all of your men nothing of the right to the voice? Did you give a damn about their wishes and think only about what you wanted?”       “A girl’s wish to be a law that a real man must follow.”       “And a man’s wishes? Is he a senseless doll to you? A robot that should only make your orders?”       “A girl to be born to get pleasure, love, and care of a strong, tough man.”       “It looks like a consumer attitude. A girl should also take care of a man and give him attention.”       “I not to care about what you think. I tell you to leave my man alone and let us live happily.”       “I also have a wish!” Anna raises her head proudly. “Just one. A little one.”       “You think that Daniel to make your stupid wish come true?” Blanca sneers contemptuously. “Ha, ha! Oh, naive idiot!”       “Let Daniel make his choice!” Anna raises her head proudly with a sly smile. “And kiss the one he loves with all his heart right now.”       “M-m-m, you want to die from evil when Daniel to kiss me with all the love?” Blanca smiles slyly.       “Why do you think he will kiss you?” Anna scoffs evilly. “Daniel doesn’t care about you.”       “Keep dreaming that he to choose you, deary,” Blanca says confidently with her head proudly raised. “Daniel to give a wonderful kiss to me. And do his best to make you die from evil and jealousy.”       “We will see it!”       “So, if you to be so sassy and brave…” Blanca takes Daniel by the wrist with a sly smile and pulls him on herself so sharply that he barely keeps his balance and falls down. “We check it now.”       “Hey, Blanca, don’t dare,” Daniel jabs. “Don’t dare, I said!”       “Come on, mi querida, kiss me,” Blanca says with a slight smile, caressing Daniel’s cheek and grabbing him by the collar. “Kiss me the way you never do it before.”       “Are you crazy?” Daniel resents, trying to move Blanca’s hands off him sharply. “Stop! Stop! Blanca!”       “Come on, mi amor, show this chicken how much we love each other. Kiss me! Hug me tightly! Give me your love!”       “Let me go! Let me go now!”       “Don’t be shy, honey. Think nobody to see us. You to be even to have sex with me.”       With these words, Blanca runs her hands over Daniel’s chest by force and tries to get underneath his t-shirt.       “Stop touching me!” Daniel demands rudely, taking Blanca tightly by the wrists. “Hear me! Stop!”       “I make you very happy if you come back to me,” Blanca promises confidently with a sly smile. “We to be together until the end. I promise to give birth to a healthy baby and to be the best mamma.”       “Your sister is right: you should’ve been put in a mental hospital a long time ago.”       “Our baby not to die. Just like our first one. When I not to be able to carry them.”       “What?” Daniel wonders loudly. “Did you go crazy?”       “If you not to make me nervous and provoke me, I carry a beautiful and healthy baby. When I to carry our baby again, you to have to take care of me and do everything I want on my first order.”       “Stop saying bullshit!” Daniel replies rudely, moving Blanca’s hands off himself sharply and stepping back from her. “You don’t understand what you’re saying!”       “You forget it? You forget how you to make me nervous and worried because you look at another girl? It to be a reason why our baby not to be born.”       “I didn’t have, don’t have, and will not have a baby from you! Thank God, nothing has ever happened between us!”       “Alright, querida, stop talking,” Blanca says confidently and caresses Daniel’s face with both hands. “I want you to kiss me.”       “I will not kiss you!”       “Come on, Daniel, show this chicken who you really love.”       “You know who I actually need.”       “¿Que?” Blanca pronounces loudly with a wide smile. “¿Que? You choose me?”       “No!” Daniel protests loudly. “Not you!”       “You wish to kiss me? Oh, gatito, do it! I answer you with great pleasure.”       Blanca presses Daniel close to herself again and wants to kiss him on the lips, but he prevents this attempt quickly and pushes the girl away, while Anna barely holds her anger down but makes herself wait because she believes that her sweetheart will not betray her.       “Don’t get crazy, Blanca!” Daniel demands loudly. “Don’t do it, I say! You hear me!”       “No, you go nowhere!” Blanca says confidently, takes Daniel’s wrists so strongly that he immediately feels pain, and presses him sharply to herself. “Kiss me right now! NOW! KISS!”       “Let me go now!” Daniel starts getting out. “It hurts! You hear me, crazy girl?”       “After you give me an unforgettable kiss and fuck this idiot off.”       “I’ve told you a million times that I will not do this!”       “Kiss me, sweetheart, kiss… Come on…” Blanca runs her sticky lips covered with lip gloss over Daniel’s cheek and the corners of his mouth, while Anna is about to attack her again.       “I said, let me go now!” Daniel demands loudly. “IT FUCKING HURTS!”       “Kiss me!” Blanca orders rudely, trying to bring her face to Daniel’s face by force. “Kiss, I say! I ORDER YOU!”       “Stop, Blanca, stop!”       “KISS ME! NOW!”       “Keep dreaming!”       “Alright. I do everything by myself! Just relax! Relax, I say! STOP RESISTING!”       “Get off me!” Daniel throws irritably and pushes Blanca off himself sharply. “Get off! Or I’m gonna get sick! Because of your pretense… Your smell… The thought that you’ll cover me with your saliva again!”       “You to like when I to be next to you? ¡Oh, mi gatito!” Blanca holding Daniel by the collar with one hand runs another hand over his hair. “It to be so nice to hear…”       “Fuck, get off me!” Daniel shakes his head sharply to move Blanca’s hand off his hair. “GET OFF, BITCH! STOP! Stop thinking that I will be with you!”       “You TO BE with me! BECAUSE I TO WANT IT AND TO BE BETTER THAN THIS OTTER!”       “WRONG!” Daniel steps back from Blanca rudely, breathing a little heavily and feeling that his wrists and forearms hurt a little because the girl squeezes them too tightly. “My girlfriend is MUCH better than you!”       “WHY? WHY THIS BAG OF BONES TO BE BETTER?”       “First of all, this girl doesn’t suffer from pathological jealousy and quietly accepts the fact that I speak to girls and men. And she knows I just speak to them or befriend them. She doesn’t make me ashamed in public, allows me to make any decisions, and supports me, whatever I choose. This girl has never wanted anything impossible and was happy with what she had. She’s never limited my freedom, and she respects my right to personal time. She doesn’t ban me from what I love, and doesn’t make me do what she loves or what she thinks is right. She knows when I want to stay alone or with her. She doesn’t make me spend twenty-four hours with her, praise her all the time, and say how beautiful, beloved, and imitable she is. She’s happy with any of my gifts and doesn’t tell me to get something that may bankrupt me. I could give her just one flower, but she’s always happy with it.”       “And you to believe that she not to want expensive gifts?” “I do. And I’m absolutely sure that she will not be mad if she gets too cheap gifts or not what she wants to get. My girlfriend can be grateful and accepts any gift with great pleasure. I am not a greedy man and can easily do something nice for someone. But I want to do this at my wish. A gift is not what you give someone to get off them. That’s what you just buy them for your own money and give them for the long-time term.”       “I… I also to be able to be grateful. And I to be happy to get any gift from my beloved man.”       “Shut up, liar! All the time you had me fooled, I only heard that you wanted to get the most expensive gifts. You wanted the best things. Not thinking about how a person would get money for them. Whether I wanted to buy something for you.”       “You to hurt me, mi amor…” Blanca pronounces with pity in her eyes. “I not to be what you think.”       “Besides, you’re an egoist. An egoist, who can’t take care of people, but who tells everyone to take care of her.”       “No, Daniel, please, don’t say it!”       “My girlfriend is different. She is always ready to listen, support, and make any plea. With her, I felt truly happy. Much happier than I was when living with my parents. She made my house the place where I wanted to come back over and over. With great pleasure! I always knew I’d relax there, have a good rest, and feel needed.”       “You to be able to feel the same. Even better. I do my best for it! Just ask me about it.”       “After the story with amnesia, I realized that this girl is a real treasure that I must appreciate. She is beautiful outside and inside. I will not find another girl like her. And I believe I’m the luckiest man. Because I met the one that fits my taste and wishes. My sweetheart is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Thanks to her, I realized that if you met a good girl, your life wouldn’t be changed for the worse. I used to be afraid to have a long relationship because I didn’t want anyone to control me and keep me on the leash like a dog. But as it turned out… Next to the good person, you can have the same schedule but get a lot of pleasure.”       After hearing these words, Anna smiles shyly, feeling much prouder for Blanca, who gets wild but feels a strong pain because all of her grandiose plans were a failure.       “No, Daniel, please…” Blanca pronounces quietly with pity in her wet eyes. “Don’t do this to me… I swear I to be the best for you and do anything you want. But I beg you, be with me.”       “I’m not going to be with the one I don’t know,” Daniel shakes his head.       “I love you… You to be my perfection… I to fall in love with you when I to see you… Por favor… Don’t make my love unhappy… I just want to love and be happy… I to do nothing bad…”       “I’m sorry, Blanca, but I love the other girl,” Daniel says determinedly. “And I will not betray my little princess for anyone.”       Daniel comes to Anna with his head proudly raised, grabs her face tenderly, and gives her a continuous kiss on the lips without hesitation, finally getting a chance to feel a nice warmth in every single part of his body. It makes him feel something beautiful that immediately makes him forget all the bad things and focus on how magnificently her soft, tender lips smell. While the girl answers his kiss back without resistance with a feeling of the slight shake, taking him under his elbows softly but then placing her hands on his hips. And Blanca gets kind of green from the anger she is obsessed with and starts choking when she sees Daniel moaning quietly from pleasure at some moment kisses Anna with such a kind of love that is impossible to fake.       A few seconds later, Daniel steps back from Anna and caresses her face softly with both hands, looking into her eyes with a tender gaze and feeling how his heart trembles nicely when seeing the green-eyed beauty’s disarming smile. The flower smell that her skin spreads makes him succumb to the temptation to leave a few short kisses on her lips. And when he feels that he is powerless in front of her, the man slides to one of the curves of Anna’s neck and covers it with a few short, tender kisses, which make her smile shyly and feel a little dizzy.       “Don’t get excited, sweetie,” Anna whispers softly with a shy smile. “We’re not alone.”       “Sorry, I couldn’t hold it down,” Daniel confesses in a whisper with a wide smile, caressing Anna’s cheeks with both hands, and leaves a tender kiss on the area behind her ear, in which he wants to say something. “Kissing you is a paradisaical pleasure…”       “Save it for later,” Anna exhales with a shake, feeling how Daniel’s tender whisper echoes in her chest. “Please… It’s not time…”       “Just one more time.”       Daniel leaves the last short kiss on the curve of Anna’s neck and rubs cutely the tip of his nose against it for a few seconds before he steps back from the girl and, not letting her go out of his arms, looks confidently at Blanca, who is clenching her hands tightly into fists with a heavy breath.       “I guess my answer is clear,” Daniel says with his head proudly raised. “I’ve made my choice, and I am not going to change my mind.”       “So, fat-belly, do you see who is loved here?” Anna smiles slyly, putting her hand on Daniel’s chest.       “If you haven’t understood, I will do it again.” Daniel leaves another short kiss on the curve of Anna’s neck and the area behind her ear, while she moans quietly with closed eyes. “Yay, it’s my girl!”       “Y-y-you…” Blanca pronounces in a shaking voice, looking at Daniel with widely open eyes. “You never kiss me like you kiss this mop… Erm… You… Always to be cold… Not to be so passionate…”       “I kiss her this girl the way I want. With all the love that I have in my heart.”       “I not to believe… Not to believe it to happen. WHY NOT ME? WHY I NOT TO BE IN THE PLACE OF THIS OTTER?”       “I’ve told you why.”       “YOU EXCHANGE ME TO THIS TATTERED CAT?” Blanca screams hysterically. “CHOOSE THIS DEAD FISH WITHOUT BOOBS AND AN ASS!”       “I’ve won, bitch!” Anna exclaims with a feeling of being satisfied. “Though, I didn’t doubt myself at all!”       “NO! IT TO BE A LIE! LIE!”       “Leave your disappointment with you, deary.”       “I NOT TO GIVE UP SO EASILY! DANIEL TO BE MINE!”       “He told you everything and showed it.”       “YOUR STORY NOT TO HAVE A GOOD ENDING!” Blanca runs to Anna and Daniel, while the man hugs his girlfriend tighter and kisses her on the top of her head. “I NOT TO LET YOU BE HAPPY!”       “We’ve heard it. Think up something new.”       “YOU NOT TO BE WITH MY SWEETHEART, FUCKING RAT!” Blanca screams at the top of her lungs, threatening Anna with a finger. “I NOT TO LET YOU KISS AND HUG HIM! AND FUCK HIM!”       “Are you his mom?” Anna presses closer to Daniel, putting her arms tightly around the small of his back, and bites tenderly the skin on the curve of the neck of the man, who puts on a blissful smile. “I don’t need permission from the fat bull to give him pleasure.”       “I TO CARRY HIS CHILD HERE!” Blanca points at her belly with her fingers. “Mi bebe… To be here.”       “A few minutes ago, you said your child died,” Anna scoffs evilly.       “MY BABY TO DIE! BECAUSE DANIEL TO MAKE ME NERVOUS! AND NOW I TO BE PREGNANT AGAIN!”       “Wow, the progress is developing, so that you can get pregnant much faster than eat!” Anna sneers contemptuously. “Hey, aren’t you about to give birth?”       “DANIEL TO HAVE TO MARRY ME!” Blanca hits the floor with a foot. “I WANT TO BE HIS WIFE!”       “My gosh, Blanca, calm down,” Mia moans tiredly. “They’ve told and showed you everything, but you keep screaming and having hysteria.”       “AND I KEEP DOING THIS! I NOT TO LET THEM BE TOGETHER! NEVER! ONLY WHEN I TO BE DEAD!”       Blanca grabs one of the pieces from the floor, runs to Anna shortly, and starts threatening her with it, while the red-haired girl keeps calm and even laughs quietly.       “I KILL YOU, SHORTY!” Blanca threatens at the top of her lungs. “IF YOU NOT TO WANT TO LEAVE DANIEL AT YOUR WISH, I MAKE YOU DO THIS.”       “Get off my girlfriend, hysterical girl,” Daniel threatens with a finger. “Get off, I said!”       “LET THIS RAT GO NOW, DANIEL! I KILL HER! KILL!”       “Gosh, Blanca, stop this show!” Mia demands loudly. “Throw the piece off now!”       “NEVER!” Blanca throws rudely and starts laughing evilly, smiling like a long-time maniac. “I TO KILL HER OR MYSELF!”       “Blanca, for God’s sake, stop!”       When Mia tries to take away the piece from Blanca, the girl sharply moves the sharp thing to her.       “I deal with you, too, sissy,” Blanca hisses through her teeth with widely open eyes. “You die as well as this shorty.”       “You will not hurt them!” Daniel throws rudely, comes to Mia, and hugs her, still pressing Anna to himself. “Especially at MY house!”       “Get off them, Daniel,” Blanca demands rudely. “I SAY, GET OFF THEM! COME TO ME NOW!”       “While you are at MY house, you will do what I WILL say!”       “If you not to leave these mops, I swear, I kill you, too! IF YOU NOT TO BE WITH ME, YOU NOT TO BE WITH ANYONE!”       “YOU WILL NOT DARE!” Anna shouts with anger. “If you hurt him, I will strangle you with my own hands!”       “I NOT TO LET YOU BE TOGETHER!” Blanca bellows hysterically, pointing the piece at Anna or Daniel. “DANIEL ONLY TO BE WITH ME!”       “NEVER!” Daniel cries.       “THEN… THEN I CUT THE THROAT OF YOU TWO! AND MY SISTER! YOU ALL DIE TOGETHER!”       “Blanca, wake up, please,” Mia begs loudly with despair and sniffs quietly. “Don’t do stupid things…”       “SHUT UP, MIA!”       “You might go to prison if you killed us!”       “BUT DANIEL TO BE WITH NOBODY!”       “Ha, she will go there anyway,” Daniel says with a sly grin.       “¿Que?” Blanca wonders. “What?”       “Yes, girl, you will go there. I was sure that you wouldn’t leave me alone and would start hysteria after finding out that I remembered everything and meeting my real girlfriend.” Daniel crosses his arms over his chest. “So, I took measures a few days before our meeting.”       “Yes, yes, Moreno, we got ready for today very well,” Anna says confidently, putting her hand on her hips. “Daniel has already said there are a few surprises. My appearance is just one of them. There are more interesting ones.”       At this moment, someone rings the door, and then Anna smiles slyly and raises her head proudly.       “Here’s it! In time!”       Anna goes to the hall door, opens it, and sees Raquelle, Natalia, and Helene.       “Oh, girls, you’re in time!” Anna notices with a slight smile. “Come in!”       Anna allows her friends to come in and closes the hall door.       “So what’s up?” Natalia smiles slyly. “The party is on?”       “So true!” Anna exclaims. “This orangutan got out of her mind! She’s threatening to kill me, Daniel, and her sister.”       “Is that she screaming?” Raquelle specifies, listening to the shouts from the living room.       “She!”       “It’s okay, we’ll get her cool now!”       “Hey, why are you without the police?” Anna frowns slightly.       “Mr. Johnson and the policemen are on the way,” Helene replies confidently.       “We’ve gotta catch her before she kills someone or runs away! We’re controlling her so far, but she’s losing her mind.”       “Don’t worry, sweetie. We’ve talked to Mr. Johnson and asked him to come here.”       “We just decided to come here without waiting for them,” Raquelle adds.       “Oh, okay then…” Anna nods. “I guess we’re gonna need your help so much.”       “Okay, bring us to the fridge with eyes!” Natalia hits her fist against her hand. “We’ll kick her ass now.”       “Come with me.”       The determined Helene, Natalia, and Raquelle follow Anna, who brings them to the living room where Mia, Daniel, and Blanca are now. After seeing three more girls, the older of the Moreno sisters opens her eyes widely and starts breathing heavily, while they smile shyly at Perkins and wave their hands at him, and he answers back.       “Here’s she, our incomparable liar!” Anna pronounces solemnly, pointing at Blanca.       “¿QUE?” Blanca shouts, staring at Helene, Natalia, and Raquelle. “THREE MORE?”       “So, is this the foreigner, who put an eye on the taken man?” Natalia puts her hands on her hips.       “WHO ARE THESE MOPS? HOW THEY TO COME HERE?”       “Hey, easy, girl, easy,” Raquelle replies confidently. “We can easily show our teeth.”       “DANIEL, WHO ARE THESE CHICKENS? ANSWER NOW!”       “Those, who will teach you not to steal taken men,” Helene says with her head proudly raised. “And respect those, who you or your familiars speak to.”       “DANIEL, I WANT AN ANSWER!” Blanca hits her foot furiously against the floor. “WHO ARE THESE DOLLS? THEY TO BE YOUR LOVERS? This tatter cat not to be the only one you cheat on me with?”       Helene, Natalia, and Raquelle start quietly laughing, looking at each other.       “Hey, big pig, don’t dare to insult my friends!” Anna resents.       “THIS BITCH TO INSULT ME!” Blanca screams hysterically. “DANIEL!”       “I would tell you much more, but my education doesn’t let me do it,” Daniel crosses his arms over his chest. “But the girls would be happy to do it for me.”       “WHAT YOU TO NEED HERE, WISPS?” Blanca moves her eyes sharply to Raquelle, Helene, and Natalia. “FIRST, THIS OTTER TO COME, AND NOW YOU, CHICKENS!”       “We, deary, came to save our friend from one crazy liar,” Helene replies confidently with both arms crossed over her chest.       “Yes!” Natalia exclaims. “Of course, we’re sorry that the men couldn’t join us and tell you a couple of things. But we’d be happy to tell you what they think of your disgusting tricks.”       “You… I… Erm… Wait…” Blanca, crossing her arms over her chest, looks at Raquelle, Natalia, and Helene better. “Ah, yeah… Why I not to guess it! You to be the liars, who to play the fool with Daniel! The fighting girlfriends of those three talentless idiots that also use my beloved man!”       “Yes, Moreno, you gave us many problems…” Raquelle says thoughtfully. “You almost ruined such a beautiful couple, made Daniel fight with his friends, and blamed us for all the sins… To be honest, we got sick of solving all of it!”       “Daniel to have to give attention only to me. Other people must not come into his life.”       “So, is that why you decided to do your best for the girlfriend and the friends to leave Daniel’s life?” Helene concludes.       “I not to want him to speak to them.”       “Who are you to decide who Daniel should talk to?” Natalia resents. “Are you his mom?”       “I to be his wife! And the mother of his unborn child!”       “Ah, you have a child…”       “The child to die! Because of Daniel. He to bring me to hysteria and not to do what I say. He to look around and always cheat on me!”       “Gosh, it’s so funny to hear it…” Anna chuckles nervously.       “So, you, chickens, better leave my house,” Blanca says confidently. “Go to take care of your three brainless idiots, who I always hate and despise.”       “Hey, hey, I don’t advise you to insult our men,” Natalia says confidently. “We can cut anyone’s throat for them. I mean, we will do it if we hear one more bad word about them.”       “Ha, if you have a reason to!” Blanca crosses her arms over her chest. “A fucking actor that everybody to forget decides to create a band, believing that he can sing. He to meet the insolent baby and the disgusting blond.”       “Hey, I tell you to respect my friends!” Daniel demands coldly. “If you insult my brothers, you insult me!”       “Gosh, Daniel, what kind of brothers… They always hate and to be jealous of you. The blond-haired one, who people to praise like an idol, to hate you much more. He to organize the bullying that to make everyone wish you to die. And those black-haired ones to help him.”       “I said, don’t dare to insult my friends! I tolerated the way you humiliated, insulted, and blamed them for all their sins. But now I’m done… I will not be silent.”       “Oh, why you actually start to speak to that gang of idiots? You not to get on well with them!”       “I get on with them very well! And I’m grateful for a chance to meet such wonderful people.”       “It to be a lie! You hate them! Especially, the blond! You never get on well with him and dream about his death.”       “Shut up, bitch!” Helene throws in a low, rude voice.       “It to be better if that crazy perra to die. Nobody to feel sorry. I to be happy because nobody to poison the life of my man.”       “Hey, watch your mouth, goat!” Helene gets angry, clenching her hands into fists. “If you hurt my man again, I will pin your fat belly against the wall!”       “I say the truth!”       “Fuck you, cow!” Anna throws rudely.       “That little boy to be better? The one, who to be an allegedly talented guitarist and the brother of the talentless actor, who to lose his fame a long time ago! An insolent donkey, who to be promoted in the show business by his brother.”       “Keep your mouth shut, ugly,” Natalia clenches her hands into fists tightly. “Or you’ll have to buy a foundation to cover your bruises.”       “What? The baby just to want fame and use the fact that he to be a family of the famous persona. I understand it.”       “You also used my man insolently to get his money and property,” Anna recalls rudely.       “Listen, that kid to be actually legal? He to be eighteen now? Or someone here to love younger boys? Huh, dyed blonde?”       “Listen, big pig, you will ask for trouble now!” Natalia threatens, getting much wilder. “If I hear one more insult of my man again, I swear you’ll be dead!”       “That actor to be better? I hear many things about that arrogant asshole with a high self-rating, high claims, and a hysterical character. Everyone to know that he to be mentally sick. But even despite this, that voiceless rooster to have the love of many people!”       “In your life, you haven’t reached as much as he’s done with hard and honest work,” Raquelle says confidently. “We know that you are a super lazy girl. You wanna lie on a sofa, watch shows, and eat. You don’t plan to take care of your husband and children. You only need the thick wallet of a man, who would always please you and sing praises to you. About you being allegedly beautiful.”       “How you all dare to insult me?” Blanca opens her mouth widely. “I… I…”       “It’s good to talk about the others when you’ve got nothing to be proud of! You’d better to read a couple of books for self-education! What are you going to talk to people about if you know nothing, have interest in nothing, and only think of you and your pleasure?”       “Surely, not about how to shake my ass in front of men,” Blanca smiles slyly. “About how to get a piece of fame through the bed.”       “Keep your mouth shut, bitch,” Raquelle clenches her hands into fists tightly. “Or you will be looking for your teeth on the floor.” “Only a seduced girl with anorexia, who to like to show her junk to the entire world and teach girls that stick out bones and ribs to be good to be able to become a model. To be a slut, who to be ready to have sex with some people for great fame.”       “What did you say, tattered otter?” Raquelle resents loudly, starting to breathe heavily because of the anger that she is getting obsessed with. “Repeat!”       “You hear everything, dead fish,” Blanca says with her head proudly raised. “And yeah, I not to understand why men to admire you and want to have a wedding with you. You to be an ordinary gal and have nothing special.”       “If your mother and father didn’t beat you enough with a belt, I will fix it quickly.”       “Don’t threaten me, chickens. If one of you to dare to attack me, my sweetheart to protect me.”       “You better keep the fuck silent if you don’t the heck understand anything! You didn’t work all day long to get just something! It’s not lying on a sofa, eating tons of food, and watching Mexican shows.”       “You work?” Blanca smirks loudly. “Ha? Not to make me laugh, brainless slut! You to be in this business thanks to the bed and the money of your patrons!”       “Close your dirty mouth, bitch!” Daniel shouts with evil. “If you say one bad word about my friends, I swear you will regret it.”       “How you dare?” Blanca explodes. “How you dare to protect these dolls, not me? YOU TO HAVE TO PROTECT ME, YOUR WIFE! THE MOTHER OF YOUR CHILD!”       “I must do nothing to you!”       “Ah, this to be how you protect your lovers,” Blanca laughs contemptuously. “So, you to give a damn about me? I see you to get a whole harem… While I not to be in the city. One mop is ‘better’ than the others… ”       “Do you see a lover of your man in every single girl?” Helene wonders truly, putting her hands on her hips. “Or do you think men are a threat, too?”       “YOU NOT TO TAKE MY DANIEL, MOPS! NOT TO TAKE! HE TO BE MINE! I LOVE HIM! LOVE!”       “Shut the fuck up!” Anna shouts, clenching her hands into fists tightly. “If you don’t close your fucking mouth, I swear I will kill you!”       “You to have enough strength, dead fish?”       “Enough! When the case is about my friends and my man, I’ll deal even with an elephant! Even with a sick, hysterical girl with an ass that is bigger than a closet!”       “Listen, deary, stop to insult me at my own house,” Blanca demands confidently. “I tell you to get out of here with these chickens.”       “It’s NOT YOUR house, idiot!”       “It to be never yours!”       “But I’m Daniel’s real girlfriend!”       “AND I TO BE HIS WIFE IN LAW!”       “IN YOUR DREAMS!”       “Alright, shorty, get out of here with these dolls. You can also take my sister. She to love to ruin my happiness and always look and talk to my husband.”       “Now, you will leave, not us, fat flea-bitten bitch!” Natalia says rudely. “And I am serious. Soon, you will go where you belong. Where you will have your brain washed and taught to behave well.”       “Cierra la boca, tú, dyed brainless blonde. You better go to your pretty boy and wipe his mouth. If you not to find a good man, be a mamma for your baby.”       “¡No, la chica, tú, cierra la boca! ¡Sal de aquí para España y deja a Daniel en paz!”       “¿Que? No, no, no, no, no… ¡Ni lo sueñes, teñida rubia.”       “Te arrerpientas si no lo haces, Blanca. No lo empeores para ti y deja nuestro amigo en paz.”       “¡Por nada del mundo! Mi amor y yo deberíamos casarnos. Y no podrás hacer nada.”       Blanca comes to Daniel with a mysterious smile, takes him by the wrist, and presses him sharply to herself with a wish to hug the man with both arms.       “Did I say something badly?” Daniel asks rudely, takes Blanca tightly under the arm, and looks at her with eyes full of hate. “I’ve told you a thousand times not to touch me! I HAVE MADE MY CHOICE!”       “Por favor, mi amor…” Blanca purrs with a slight smile, trying to kiss Daniel on the lips. “Besáme, mi sol, besáme… Por favor…”       “Do you hear me, psycho?” Daniel starts resisting hard, while Blanca grabs his arms too tightly. “Let me go! Let go, I said! Fuck, get off me! I will not kiss and hug you!”       “No seas timida, mi amor. Besame… Besame, por favor…”       “Are you deaf? GET OFF ME, BITCH!”       “¿Dónde está mi anillo a nuestro compromise?”       “En tus sueños, España chica,” Natalia replies confidently. “¡Deja nuestro amigo en paz!”       Blanca ignores Natalia’s words with a sly smile and presses Daniel much closer to herself with a wish to kiss him as passionately as possible. Losing her patience, Anna runs to the foreigner as fast as a bullet two seconds later and pulls her away from her boyfriend with an irritating growl, grabbing her by the hair so strongly that the Spaniard screams loudly from pain.       “Don’t dare to get close to him!” Anna demands loudly and slaps Blanca in the face strongly. “DON’T DARE TO TOUCH HIM WITH YOUR DIRTY HANDS!”       Anna pushes Blanca so that the girl falls to the floor with a loud cry and smashes her foot strongly against her stomach.       “I shall turn you to dust if you dare just to look at my man. YOU GOT IT, BITCH?”       “Perra…” Blanca hisses through her teeth. “¡TE MATO, LA MALDITA PERRA! ¡TE-E-E-E-E MA-A-A-A-A-ATO!”       Blanca gets up sharply and attacks Anna with fists. But the red-haired girl defends herself easily, gives the Spaniard a couple of strong slaps in the face, and drags her by the hair for two or three seconds, while her rival is screaming loudly, and Raquelle, Natalia, and Helene open their mouths widely, and round their eyes full of horror.       “HELP!” Blanca screams hysterically. “HELP! SHE TO BE CRAZY! SHE TO WANT TO KILL ME!”       “Bitch…” Anna hisses through her teeth and slaps Blanca strongly in the face. “FAT COW! You will pay for daring to put an eye on what belongs to ME!”       “Daniel to be with me, anorexic girl. You to leave him at your wish, or I kill you.”       Blanca gives Anna a slap back and grabs her by the hair with both hands. But the girl strikes her down with one push, seats over her, and starts hitting her face with great pleasure, while the foreigner is crying bitterly and not being able to defend herself from the one, who does not even think of holding herself down and is going to revenge on her rival for all of her sufferings.       “Oh, gosh, she’s gonna kill her!” Helene gets horrified with her widely open eyes.       “Gosh, Anna never lost her temple like this…” Raquelle shakes her head, closing her mouth with a hand.       After coming to himself from shock, Daniel rushes to the excited Blanca and Anna and unsuccessfully tries to take his girlfriend away from the foreigner, whom she is beating heartlessly with a heavy breath and an irritated growl.       “Stop, Anna, stop!” Daniel says loudly. “Stop! Enough! Leave her! Anna!”       “Get it, pig!” Anna hisses through her teeth and, grabbing Blanca by the hair, hits her head against the floor. “You will know… What it’s like to put an eye on taken men!”       “HELP ME!” Blanca screams hysterically. “DANIEL! HELP! ¡POR FAVOR! SHE TO WANT TO KILL ME!”       “Anna, stop, I’m begging you,” Daniel begs loudly, trying to take Anna far from Blanca.       “THIS IS FOR ALL MY SUFFERINGS, BITCH!” Anna screams at the top of her lungs.       “Gosh, I dunno what to say…” Natalia pronounces thoughtfully. “Anna was never so wild…”       “Even Daniel can’t hold her down…” Raquelle notices with horror in her eyes.       “I’ve got nothing to say, girls…” Helene shakes her head. “Anna… Our shy and sweet Anna is beating the girl…”       “Bitch…” Blanca hisses through her teeth. “You to pay me! ¡TE MATO, PERRA!”       Blanca strikes Anna down to the floor by slapping her in the face and starts dragging her by the hair and hitting her shamelessly in the face while Daniel is still trying to break them up unsuccessfully. However, the red-haired girl does not let the girl hurt her, grabbing the foreigner’s hair at some moment and pulling it so strongly that it makes her feel unbearable pain. And seeing that Perkins cannot hold the girls down, Raquelle, Natalia, and Helene come to help him out. Together, they get Anna up and take her aside by force, while Daniel tries to hold Blanca, while she is try twitching all over with loud shouts.       “LET ME GO!” Blanca screams at the top of her lungs. “LET GO! I KILL THIS WHORE!”       “Stop screaming, idiot!” Daniel demands rudely. “Everybody here went crazy from your wild shouts! Pity my neighbors!”       “I WANT TO KILL THIS BITCH! PULL HER HAIR OUT! STRANGLE WITH MY OWN HANDS! I DREAM OF HER DEATH!”       “Stop, Blanca, ENOUGH!”       “Let her go, Daniel,” Anna exclaims with evil in her eyes, trying to get out of her friends’ grip. “I will quickly wash her brains! She will know what will happen if she hangs out on taken men’s necks and insults my friends!”       “COME HERE, TATTERED MOP!” Blanca screams. “JUST SAY GOODBYE TO THE CHICKENS! BECAUSE I KILL YOU!”       “No, I WILL kill you! HERE AND NOW!”       “Anna, for God’s sake, stop,” Raquelle begs quietly.       “Let me go, girls! This cow will be destroyed now! Let me go! Don’t make me mad!”       “C’MON, C’MON, BRING YOUR BONES HERE!” Blanca screams at the top of her lungs, trying to get her arms out of Daniel’s tight grip. “I BURY YOU IN THE GROUND!”       “I WILL SING AND DANCE AT YOUR FUNERALS!”       “YOU, CHICKENS, COME HERE, TOO! I BURY NEXT TO YOUR FRIEND!”       “You will not dare to hurt my friends, asshole!” Anna says rudely, looking at Blanca with bloodshot eyes, breathing heavily enough, and realizing how tense every muscle of her body is. “YOU WILL NOT DARE!”       “I BEAT YOU SO STRONGLY THAT YOU TO BE AFRAID TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR!”       “Nobody will look at you for sure! Because you are a fat cow with a big ass and an ugly face! And you have the udder instead of the breasts!”       “YOU SEE YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR, UGLY?”       “You are ugly!” Anna, Raquelle, Natalia, and Helene resent at the same time.       “Daniel to never look at you, a red bag of bones. And you, chicken, to be left by those three brainless idiots soon.”       “Did you also put an eye on our men, bitch?” Raquelle explodes.       “Don’t dare to look at them, scumbag!” Helene threatens with evil in her eyes.       “HA, I NOT TO NEED THOSE THREE TALENTLESS IDIOTS!” Blanca shouts with widely open eyes full of hate. “If they to be here, I to tell them what I think about them.”       “We warned you, Moreno,” Natalia says confidently. “Don’t even dare to look at our men! Or you will be dead!”       “I NOT TO NEED THAT HYSTERICAL ACTOR, HIS LITTLE BROTHER, AND THE BLOND-HAIRED FREAK!”       “I told you to my friends!” Daniel demands coldly.       “I tell the truth!”       “Shit, what did they do to you that you hate them so badly and try to turn me against them?”       “They not to love me. Those men to say bad things about me and say that I not to be a partner to you.”       “Ha, they don’t know you!” Raquelle says confidently. “Only my future brother-in-law has seen you! When you were mean to him in the hospital even if he just wanted to ask something!”       “Yeah, I remember that little boy. He to annoy me… I say I not to know where to find what he to want, but that idiot not to hear me and to continue to make me nervous.”       “Yeah, maybe, you insulted him in Spanish immediately?” Natalia crosses her arms over her chest.       “It not to be a matter! You all not to be able to speak to Daniel. I not to want that he to spend time with you.”       “I am an adult man and will decide who to speak and not to speak with!” Daniel says confidently.       “They not to be your friends, sweetheart. You only have me, your beloved fiancée.”       “You are the fuck nobody to me. Hear me, nobody. I DID NOT KNOW AND DO NOT KNOW YOU!”       “You love me! I KNOW IT! YOU LOVE!”       “SHUT UP!” Daniel grabs Blanca sharply under her elbows and looks at her furiously, barely holding down not to use force toward the girl. “I swear you will regret it if I hear something about our wedding and the future that we’ve never had and will never have.”       “No, it not to be true…” Blanca pronounces in a shaking voice. “NOT TRUE! You love me! Me, not this fucking dead fish.”       “I’ve said I only love this girl!” Daniel shakes Blanca sharply. “HER NAME IS ANNA CHARLOTTE SEYMOUR!”       “YOU LIE TO ME! I TO BE YOUR WIFE! YOU TO BE A DAD OF OUR CHILD!”       “Stop, I said! DON’T MAKE ME WILD!”       “I CARRY YOUR BABY, BUT YOU WANT TO EXCHANGE ME WITH THIS BAG OF BONES!”       “Gosh, Blanca, do you actually understand that you look comical now?” Mia crosses her arms over her chest. “What do we do, so you finally realize that you can have nothing with Daniel?”       “I TO BE WITH HIM ANYWAY! NO MATTER IF HE TO WANT IT! I LOVE HIM AND WANT TO MARRY HIM!”       “He does not want to marry you! Daniel loves the other girl!”       “I GET RID OF HER! DESTROY ANY GIRL TO WISH TO STEAL MY HUSBAND! DANIEL TO BE ONLY MINE!”       “CALM THE FUCK DOWN!” Raquelle shouts irritably. “Stop making everybody nervous! Doesn’t your throat hurt because of shouting like this?”       “Did you really think you’d get the man married to you and hold him with you after he called the memories about everything?” Natalia wonders. “He would immediately run to fill for divorce! Even a child wouldn’t stop him!”       “HE TO LOVE ME! LOVE! AND HE TO FORGET THIS ANOREXIC GIRL WITHOUT BREASTS AND ASS!”       “Gosh, calm down, you, psycho!” Helene moans tiredly. “Your game is over! Daniel remembers everything! And his real girlfriend is standing in front of you!”       “NO! I NEVER CONFESS IT! NEVER!”       “You’ll have to.”       “I TO BE HIS FIANCÉ AND A MOTHER OF OUR DEAD CHILD!” Blanca screams hysterically. “YOU COME OUT OF THE BLUE AND TO BE JEALOUS OF MY HAPPINESS!”       “You’re just a sick fan obsessed with Daniel,” Raquelle says confidently. “You made yourself think that you should be together and decided to chase him.”       “You began to do it before everything happened,” Anna adds. “You went to shows with no ticket and ended up in the police station after trying to get into his house. If not for the memory loss, you would’ve started to send the letters with threats.”       “I JUST FIGHT FOR OUR LOVE!” Blanca says loudly.       “There’s no love!” Natalia exclaims. “No! You dreamed it up! You went crazy and believe that you’ll really become Daniel’s wife and a mother to his children.”       “I TO BE HIS WIFE! WE TO BE MARRIED!”       “I’m sorry that Daniel’s younger sister is not here,” Anna smiles slyly. “She wanted to kick your ass so badly, but sadly, that girl has something to do.”       “DANIEL NOT TO HAVE A SISTER! HE TO BE THE ONLY CHILD IN HIS FAMILY!”       “Wrong, girl,” Daniel says confidently. “I have a sister. And she’s really sorry that she couldn’t tell you everything she thought of this situation. But Cassidy asked me to give you a greeting and warn you that she’d make you run if you stood in the way of Anna and me one more time.”       “I DESTROY HER! DESTROY ANY GIRL IN MY WAY! AND I DESTROY YOU FOUR!”       “And what will you do?” Natalia sneers loudly. “Threaten us with a finger and run here, screaming, ‘¡Te mato, perras!’”       “YOU NOT TO GET MY DANIEL, MOPS! YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR PERRAS TO BE SO BAD THAT YOU WANT TO STEAL MY QUERIDA!”       “Don’t dare to insult our men!”       “OR YOU TO BE AFRAID THAT THE CAREER OF THOSE PEOPLE TO BE RUINED, AND THEY NOT TO GIVE YOU MONEY!”       “I wonder what you would do if you stole everything from Daniel by making him spend all his money on your wishes?” Anna asks. “If he wasn’t able to buy another brilliant ring or a mink coat from the latest collection?”       “I want that those idiots to lose their money! And I hate those perras! I want that they to be unhappy, poor, and unlucky!”       “As I understand, you want problems,” Natalia clenches her hands into fists tightly. “Huh, scoundrel?”       “Oh, listen, maybe, we should’ve called the doctors from a mental hospital, not the police?” Helene asks her friends in a whisper. “This girl is clearly out of her mind.”       “It’s okay, she will end up there if she keeps being hysterical,” Anna replies with both arms crossed over her chest.       “I don’t envy her parents,” Raquelle says quietly.       “At least her sister seems to be a good girl,” Natalia notices thoughtfully.       “No, that girl is good,” Anna replies. “She betrayed Blanca.”       “Wow…” Helene pronounces thoughtfully.       “Por favor, mi amor, besáme…” Blanca begs with sadness in her eyes, running her hands slowly over Daniel’s torso against his wish. “I want to be yours… I want you to give me the best sex…”       “What did I tell you?” Daniel resents, moving Blanca’s hands off himself. “Don’t touch me!”       “Please, Daniel… I want you…”       “Fuck, GET OFF ME, AT LAST!” Daniel pushes Blanca off himself sharply. “I swear, if you don’t calm down, I will call an ambulance! So, you to be taken to a mental hospital!”       “NO! I NOT TO BE SICK!”       “Accept the fact that your dreams will never come true.”       “I to be able to be much better than all these brainless chickens. With me, you to be happy.”       “Nobody can replace my little girl.” “Por favor, mi vida… Te quiero… Te quiero mucho… I love you… I…”       Blanca does not finish her thought because Daniel closes her mouth sharply with a hand, setting his burning look on her widely open eyes, while she is moaning loudly.       “So, little bitch let’s make something clear,” Daniel says confidently. “I do not love you. I am not going to marry you. I am not going to make children with you. I do not care that you planned our whole life until the last day of our lives. I. Give. A. Fuck. I have a girlfriend. I love her with all my heart and am not going to leave her. You can do anything you want: screaming, stomping your feet, or waving your hands. But I want to be with the one, who respects my personal space and me.”       Blanca keeps quietly moaning with pity in her eyes because her mouth is closed tightly with Daniel’s hand.       “So, girl, stop making everybody close to a nervous breakdown. And stop insulting the girls and the men. I hate people, who disrespect my friends. And I don’t need your scandals. I swear, Moreno, if you weren’t a girl, I would kick your ass enough and teach you what your parents didn’t teach you.”       Blanca tries to say something and move Daniel’s hand off by force, but he closes her mouth much tighter and starts looking at her with a much more arrogant look.       “You cannot even imagine how much you irritate me, false girl. How happy I am to get off you, live with my beloved girl, meet my friends, and do anything I want! And I am madly happy I will no longer have to tolerate your kisses and hugs that make me really sick. Nobody will lick me and wash my face with saliva. I will not wish to go to the bathroom and wash my face and mouth well. I will not have to tolerate your hilarious attempts to look like a goddess of sex. Finally, this day has come! FI-NA-llY!”       Daniel takes Blanca under her arm and pulls her sharply on himself, looking at her with such a strong hate that any other girl never got before.       “And here’s my advice: learn to kiss. Or all of your men will get sick right before your eyes. I say it as a man, who has much more experience and knows what he really likes. And when you want to kiss, do not put a sticky lip gloss on your lips. If you wanna know, I hate the feeling when a girl tries to kiss me with lipstick on her lips.”       “W-w-what?” Blanca rounds her eyes. “D-don’t you… Like my k-kisses?”       “They make me feel sick! Yes, they do! When I thought of them somewhere before lunch, I lost appetite and got a lump in my throat.”       “No… Please, Daniel… You to hurt me…”       “And your caresses are bad. If you want to get a man excited by what you can, I’m sorry for you.”       “But… You never… To say it… You say you love my caress.”       “Because I remembered nothing. Even if I felt I wasn’t attracted to you. And I just didn’t want to hurt you. But now I’m not going to pity you. You didn’t pity me – I have the right to show no mercy for you.”       “I not to believe it…” Blanca shakes her head.       “Yes, maybe, I’m doing a bad thing by saying these things about the girl. But if I don’t say it now, nobody will decide to tell you the truth and encourage you to change something about yourself.”       “No…” Blanca pronounces in a shaking voice and shakes her head, barely holding her tears down. “No… N-O-O-O-O-O!”       Blanca doubles over, falls on her knees, and keeps screaming hysterically, while the girls look at each other questioningly.       “YOU NOT TO DARE TO DO THIS TO ME! NO! I NOT TO BELIEVE IT! IT TO BE A LIE!”       “Oh, damn…” Daniel exhales sharply. “I don’t know how to tell you that we will never be together.”       “I WANT TO BE YOUR WIFE! WE TO BE MADE FOR EACH OTHER! YOU TO BE MY DESTINY!”       “This is what you think!” Mia replies confidently, coming closer to Blanca. “But it’s just your dream. Your sick imagination.”       “I LOVE DANIEL!” Blanca screams at the top of her lungs with tears in her eyes. “I NOT TO WANT TO LIVE WITHOUT HIM!”       “You know, sister, you’ve always been unhealthy. But your current behavior makes us believe you have much more serious mental issues. Your obsession with Daniel is crazy. There’s nothing bad about love, but not in your case. Your love is sick.”       “I NOT TO BE A PSYCHO! I TO BE HEALTHY!”       “If you don’t stop, you will stop understanding where reality and fantasy are.”       “I TO BE THE WIFE OF MY BELOVED MAN! AND THE MOTHER OF HIS DEAD CHILD!”       “You did not, do not, and will not have a child from Daniel!”       “DANIEL TO BE MINE! I GIVE HIM TO NOBODY! NOBODY!”       “STOP!” Daniel screams, getting Blanca up sharply, taking her by the shoulders, and shaking her strongly “SHUT UP! YOU MADE EVERYBODY HERE WILD! A QUIET HUMAN WOULDN’T GET SICK OF SUCH A CRAZY GIRL LIKE YOU!”       “I ASK YOU FOR THE LAST TIME: YOU WANT TO BE WITH ME OR THIS PLUCKED CHICKEN?”       “I have said everything! I. Will. With. My. Beloved. Girlfriend. And it’s out of the discussion. YOU GOT OUT?”       “¡PERRA!” Blanca screams, pointing at Daniel with a finger and starting to hate him. “YOU TO CHOOSE ME THIS WORTHLESS MOP! REJECT THE ONE, WHO TO MAKE YOU HAPPY!”       “I will be only with my girlfriend.”       “¡TE ODIO, TRAIDOR, TE ODIO!”       Blanca gives Daniel a very strong slap in the face that makes him turn aside. He grabs his cheek, feeling that it starts burring after such a strong slap, which, however, does not impact him anyhow.       “MOTHERFUCKER!” Blanca screams hysterically with tears at the top of her lungs. “BETRAYER! I CURSE YOU, PERRA! I TO BE MAD AT YOU! YOU REGRET THAT YOU CHOOSE THIS MOP!”       Mia comes to Blanca and tries to calm her down, while her sister doubles over and screams so loudly that her throat starts hurting strongly and making her wish to cough. Meanwhile, Anna comes to Daniel and caresses tenderly his cheek that got a slap, and he hugs her with both arms, kisses her cutely on the forehead, and caresses her head. Natalia, Raquelle, and Helene join them shortly and caress or clap the man on the shoulder.       “Don’t listen to her, Daniel,” Natalia advises softly. “She’s sick.”       “It’s okay,” Daniel says quietly. “She can do what she wants.”       “We’ll hold her down, buddy,” Raquelle promises confidently. “It’s gonna be over soon.”       “Oh, listen, when will the police finally come here?”       “They’re about to come,” Helene replies quietly.       “If we miss a moment, this psycho may run away.”       “She won’t,” Anna pronounces confidently. “If we have to, we’ll tie her up to a chair and tape her mouth before the police come.”       “Gosh…” Helene moans, putting her hand on her forehead. “If we’d know she was sick, we would’ve called the doctors, too.”       “It’s okay, this madam won’t run away from us,” Natalia says with her head proudly raised.       “Yeah, we will hold her down,” Raquelle smiles slightly.       When Daniel wants to say something, Blanca’s deafening hysterical shout makes him and the girls fall into silence and look at the furious foreigner.       “NOT TO THINK THAT YOU WIN!” Blanca screams and points at Daniel and Anna. “YOU TWO TO NEVER TO BE TOGETHER! I NOT TO LET YOU BE HAPPY! YOU DIE! I KILL YOU!”       Blanca pushes Mia sharply off herself, takes the biggest piece from the broken vase, and comes closer to Anna and Daniel with widely open bloodshot eyes, while the lovers look at each other.       “¡TE MATO! AT FIRST, I KILL THIS DEAD FISH, AND THEN I DEAL WITH YOU, BETRAYER!”       “¡No, Blanca, por favor!” Mia begs with despair.       “REMEMBER, NONE OF YOU TO LIVE UNTIL TONIGHT! I KILL YOU! ALL OF YOU!”       “We will see it!” Helene, Natalia, and Raquelle confidently pronounce and hide Daniel and Anna with themselves determinedly.       “You won’t touch them, bitch!” Raquelle says coldly.       “Deal with us first, wretch!” Helene throws rudely. “We’d cut anyone’s throat for our friends!”       “Estamos preparados para luchar contigo, si tenemos que protegernos nuestros amigos,” Natalia says confidently.       “¡Quítese del camino, perras, o te mato!” Blanca bellows. “¡No dejaré les vivir estar juntos!”       “¡No, Blanca!” Mia pronounces loudly, literally with tears in her eyes. “¡Por favor, deténgase!”       “¡Maldito traidores deben morir! I SAY SO!”       Blanca wants to attack Anna and Daniel as fast as a bullet and wound at least one of them with the piece. But while the lovers hug each other tightly, Raquelle, Helene, and Natalia push the foreigner off their friends, strike her down, and give her a strong slap in the face.       “¡No te atreavas a hacer daño nuestro amigos, tu, chica espúpida!” Natalia demands rudely. “¡Dejame ir, rubia teñida!” Blanca snaps through her teeth and tries to slap Natalia strongly in the face.       “¡Cálmate, Moreno!” Natalia grabs Blanca’s hand sharply. “¡Estás actuando como una histérica!”       “¡TE MATO, PERRA! ¡TE MATO!”       Despite the resistance, Natalia manages to take the piece from Blanca and puts it aside quickly, while her friends hold the Spaniard tightly by the hands.       “CADS!” Blanca screams at the top of her lungs. “I WANT… YOU TO… BE CURSED!”       “Nobody dares to hurt our friends,” Raquelle says confidently. “Nobody, bitch!”       “We’re not less determined and brave than our men,” Helene adds with her head proudly raised. “When the case is about our friends, we’re ready to tear anyone.”       “Not this time…” Blanca hisses through her teeth. “YOU TO BE DEAD, MOPS!”       Blanca gets out of the strong grip of Natalia, Helene, and Raquelle with one sharp movement and gets up after striking these three down. But the girls get up quickly and give her a couple of slaps in the face and pull her by the hair for some time, not letting her attack anyone to be here.       “Do you really think you’re able to fight with all of us?” Raquelle scoffs contemptuously as she drags Blanca by the hair.       “It’s okay, bitches, I kick you…” Blanca pronounces confidently, tries to slap Helene in the face strongly, and gets a slap back. “You TO know who BLANCA MORENO TO BE! I SHOW YOU!”       Blanca takes the first thing that she sees and throws it strongly at the girls, who get up or go aside.       “Fail!” Helene laughs evilly.       “AR-R-R-R!” Blanca growls irritably and throws something else that breaks, while the friends squat down.       “Hey, what about running a little?” Raquelle suggests. “Can you catch us, little behemoth?”       “Or wouldn’t you run even one mile because of your fat ass?” Natalia mocks.       “Yeah, eating cakes at night and lying on the sofa like a queen with fast food in their hands has never done a good thing to anyone’s body,” Helene notices.       “AR-R-R-R!” Blanca resents. “Come on… I DESTROY YOU, FUCKING DOLLS!”       Blanca grabs one more piece of the vase from the floor and comes confidently to Helene, Raquelle, and Natalia. But the girls are much faster thanks to their slim bodies and good physical data, while the foreigner suffers from a strong lack of air and moves much slower because of being overweight. Thanks to this, the friends twist the hands of Blanca behind without problems and try to take the piece by force. But later, the older of the Moreno sisters breaks free and starts threatening the girls with the pieces of glass.       “ONE MORE STEP BEFORE I KILL YOU, BITCHES!” Blanca screams at the top of her lungs.       However, Raquelle, Helene, and Natalia do not get confused and quickly find a way to disarm Blanca. While the first squeezes the hand with the piece tightly, the second slaps the foreigner strongly in the face, and the third one twists her free hand behind her back.       “GET OFF, ASSHOLES!” Blanca demands loudly. “GET OFF, I SAY! I ORDER YOU!”       “It’s okay, Moreno, you have a little time to scream,” Natalia replies confidently, holding Blanca’s hand tightly behind her back. “Soon, you’re going to be taken where you belong.”       “They will wash your brains quickly,” Helene adds, taking the piece from Blanca and throwing it as far as possible.       “We to see it, idiots,” Blanca hisses through her teeth. “I DESTROY YOU!”       Blanca gets her hand sharply out of Natalia’s grip and drags Raquelle by the hair for two seconds before the girl pushes her rudely off and slaps her strongly in the face, and then Helene and Natalia do the same. At some moment, Mia also decides to help the girls and calm her sister down somehow, running to her from behind and starting to pull her aside. The girls have to fight off the foreigner for some time, getting strong slaps from her and suffering from pain in the head after having their little disheveled hair treated rudely. Then they hear the ring of the doorbell, which makes them exhale with relief.       “It’s the police!” Anna assumes.       “Oh, finally!” Daniel exclaims.       “Open the door and bring them here, and the girls and I will hold this psycho down.”       “I’ll be back now.”       Daniel goes to open the door, while Anna rushes to help Natalia, Helene, Raquelle, and Mia to hold Blanca, who is breathing heavily and looking at everybody with literally black from evil eyes.       “WHO ELSE YOU TO BRING HERE?” Blanca asks. “YOUR IDIOTS TO COME HERE? THEY TAKE YOU AWAY?”       “Here’s one more greeting from Daniel, the girls, and me,” Anna replies with a sly smile, squeezing Blanca’s yawl tightly and raising her face sharply. “And the men, too.”       “What?”       “Last station, Blanca Moreno. The bus will not go further.”       “N-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O!”       Blanca tries to push the girls aside and either run away or kill someone. But Anna, Raquelle, Natalia, Helene, and Mia prevent it immediately and strike her down immediately, not even thinking about letting her go. A few seconds later, Daniel returns to the living room along with the policemen, among whom there are Victor, Darwin, and Oliver. They wink at the girls with a slight smile and nod in approval when they see the friends holding the foreigner determinedly.       “So, dear policemen,” Daniel pronounces confidently, pointing at Blanca. “It’s her.”       Blanca shaking like a boiling kettle gets up sharply and jumps back when she sees the policemen, at whom she looks with widely open eyes, silently begging that they do not take her away.       “Blanca Moreno Rodriquez?” Victor asks Blanca confidently, while the other girls get up with Daniel’s help and clean themselves up.       “Erm…” Blanca stutters and shakes her head with horror in her eyes. “No! It not to be me! Mi nombre es Carmen Gomez Martinez… I to be Carmen!”       “Show me your documents, please.”       “What’s wrong? ¿Que le paso? ¿Cuál es el problema, señor?”       “Miss, please, show us the documents that can identify you,” Darwin repeats quietly. “We should make sure that you are the one you introduce yourself.”       “But… But… I not to have documents with me…”       “Call your full name and birth date, and where you are from.”       “C-carmen… Carmen Gomez Martinez… I… To be… Twenty three… Years… I to be… From… Latin America…”       “Your correct birth date?”       “Erm… January… January… Twenty-eight… And year… Year… I think it to be nineteen hundred and… Ninety-four…”       “January of twenty-eight, nineteen hundred and ninety-four?”       “Yes, yes… Si…”       “Why did you call your birth date so hesitantly?” Victor frowns.       “Excuse me, senor… I… Not to be good at numbers… I not to be able to count… And I to know English poorly…”       “Alright. And who can confirm your name is really Carmen?”       “Erm… My sister!” Blanca moves her eyes to Mia. “Mia…”       “Carmen is her middle name, Mr. Policeman,” Mia betrays. “This is Blanca Carmen Moreno Rodriquez. The birth date is correct.”       “What?” Blanca opens her eyes widely. “No, it not to be true! I to be Carmen!”       “In this case, you are the one we need,” Victor replies confidently.       “What? But what I do? I not to be a crime girl!”       “Mr. Daniel Perkins made a police report on you and blamed you for chasing him and meddling in the personal life of this man,” Oliver explains quietly.       “No, it not to be true!”       “After this, we immediately prepared the order. Here, you can examine it.” Oliver shows Blanca a piece of paper with some text, signatures, and marks. “We are officially letting you, Ms. Moreno, know that from this minute on, you are banned from stepping within one hundred feet of Mr. Daniel Perkins.”       “No, no, it to be a mistake!” Blanca jabs excitedly, looking around the whole living room with scared eyes and breathing heavily enough. “I not to be the one you find! Daniel to be my husband. We to marry. We to have children.”       “Tell these tales to other people,” Victor replies confidently. “But now, we are asking you to leave the house of this man at your wish. I want to warn you that if you violate the order, we will have to arrest you and put you on trial.”       “No, senor, you to confuse me with someone! I to be Carmen, and this to be my husband, Daniel.” Blanca takes Daniel under his arm and presses herself closer to him. “Honey, tell them something, Say that I not to be the girl they to find.”       “You are!” Daniel pronounces confidently, getting his arm sharply out of Blanca’s grip. “Since you didn’t want to leave me alone at your wish, I will make you do it by force. You gave me no choice.”       “What? No, I not to believe it! No! It to be a mistake…”       “Ms. Moreno, leave the house, please,” Darwin says quietly, pointing at the door. “If you do not believe, you can take this restraining order from my colleague and examine it from start to end.” “It to be my house, senor! I to have the right to be here! Only my husband to be able to kick me out of here.”       “So, do you refuse to do what the police tell you to do?” Oliver asks gloomily.       “I not to be a criminal!” Blanca protests with despair. “I swear, señor, I tell you the truth. I not to steal, not to kill, and not to steal…”       “I’m sure that we will find out much more after talking to you,” Victor replies confidently. “Now, I am asking you to go to the police station with us.”       “What? No, do not do it! Why you to take me with you?”       “Resistance is futile, Ms. Moreno,” Darwin notices confidently.       “I to be senora Perkins!”       “It will be much worse to you if you refuse to do what we tell you. The order says clearly that if you violate the rule, you will be put on trial.”       “What kind of order? What you to talk about?”       “Do not waste our time, Ms. You will have to go with us, no matter if you want it or not.”       “I not to want to leave my home and my husband! Our children to come back home from school soon. I to have to meet them.”       “Alright, we got it,” Victor shrugs and turns on his helpers and two more policemen. “Guys, bring her to the car.”       The policemen come to Blanca shortly without any words and take her under the arms.       “What?” Blanca resents and starts getting out of the policemen’s strong hands furiously. “NO! NO, LET ME GO! ¡DEJEME IR, PERRAS! ¡NO!”       “I’m sorry, Ms. Moreno, but you are under arrest,” Victor says confidently.       “NO, LET ME GO! I KILL ALL OF YOU! LET ME GO NOW! I NOT TO GO WITH YOU! LET ME GO!”       “Miss Moreno, do not ask for greater problems,” Oliver advises quietly. “You are about to get a long-time sentence. Meddling in personal life threatens to kill, illegal immigration to the United States of America, and getting fake documents…”       “IT TO BE A LIE! SOMEONE TO SLANDER!”       “You will ask all the questions at the police station,” Darwin says confidently.       “Por favor, señor, déjeme ir,” Blanca begs with pity in her eyes. “No quiero ir a prision…”       “Be pleased to speak to us in English,” Victor says quietly. “We do not understand your language.”       “POR FAVOR… NO QUIERO IR A PRISION… A-A-A-A-A!”       “If you show resistance to the police, it will be worse for you.”       “YOU NOT TO DARE TO GET ME ARRESTED! I TO BE PREGNANT… I CARRY THE CHILD OF DANIEL! THE CHILD OF MY HUSBAND… I NOT TO BE ABLE TO GO TO PRISON!”       “Guys, put the handcuffs on her,” Victor addresses his colleagues.       “No! No! No! NO!” NO-O-O-O-O-O!” Blanca looks at Daniel with pity in her wet eyes, while he is surrounded by Anna, Natalia, Natalia, Raquelle, and Helene, and the policemen try to put handcuffs on her. “Daniel, tell them! Stop them! Don’t let them arrest me!”       “I see no reason to do this,” Daniel replies confidently with his head proudly raised.       “POR FAVOR… Por favor, mi amor…” Blanca runs sharply to Daniel. “¡Salvame! ¡Dejeme ir! No quiero ir a prision… No quiero ir a prision…”       “I don’t understand what you’re saying!”       “PLEASE, DANIEL! SAVE ME!” Blanca pulls her hands sharply when the policemen want to twist them behind her back. “SAVE ME! THESE MANIACS TO WANT TO KILL ME! I NOT TO WANT TO DIE!”       “These people will bring you where you belong. Where your brains will be washed.”       “NO! DANIEL! HELP ME! MY DEAR HUSBAND… HELP! ¡POR FAVOR, MI SOL!”       “You will no longer bother me and my close people and turn me against someone,” Daniel adds confidently with both arms crossed over his chest.       “NO! YOU NOT TO DARE TO STAY COLD WHILE THEY WANT TO KILL ME!”       “I don’t care about it.”       “¡POR FAVOR, MI AMOR! I TO BE READY TO GIVE BIRTH!”       “Get out of here, bitch!” Anna demands coldly, having her arm wrapped around the small of Daniel’s back and putting her hand on his chest, while he caresses her head tenderly and kisses her on the temple. “I do not want to see you near my man or my friends’ men! Or I will get your eyes out!”       “YOU TO BE GUILTY, FLEA-BITTEN DOG!” Blanca shouts and points at Anna with her thick finger. “IF NOT FOR YOU, DANIEL AND I TO BE HAPPY!”       “I am serious, Moreno. If you dare to come to my man again, you will be dead!”       “I CURSE YOU, DYED OTTER! DIE! DIE! AS WELL AS YOUR FRIENDS AND MY SISTER! I HATE YOU, BITCHES!”       “Doesn’t your throat hurt because of screaming like a sick idiot? You may lose your voice!”       “I WISH THIS MODEL TO DIE FROM ANOREXIA! THIS BLACK SHEEP TO LOSE HER WORTHLESS BLOND-HAIRED FREAK, WHO MUST DIE WHEN HE TO WANT IT! AND THIS DYED BLONDE TO BE LEFT BY THAT KID! DIE, YOU ALL! AND THOSE BASTARDS! YOU RUIN MY LIFE! I HATE YOU ALL! H-A-T-E!”       “Get out of here before you lose all of your hair,” Raquelle threatens confidently.       “I hope you understood that you have no right to steal taken men and deceive them,” Helene adds coldly. “And chasing a man and trying to make him love you by force is violence, too.”       “¡Adíos, enferma chica!” Natalia waves her hand with a sly smile. “Te va a encatar la prision. Espero que encuentres algunos amigos. ¡Disfruta de tu nuevo vida, chica!”       “¡Idiotas!” Blanca screams hysterically, while the policemen twist her hands behind her back and put a handcuff on her. “¡MALDITA! ¡MUERE! ¡TE ODIO! ¡TE ODIO!”       While Blanca resists so hard with widely open eyes, the policemen bring her to the hall door and want to get the girl outside, ignoring her hysterical shouts.       “MIA!” Blanca shouts. “MIA, SISTER, SAVE ME! DON’T LEAVE YOU IN TROUBLE! I NEED YOU! THESE MANIACS TO WANT TO KILL ME!”       “Why should I do?” Mia wonders. “Help the one to hate me?”       “Please, sweetie, help me! I promise I to be a good sister to you. I to love you and protect you and do anything you want. I swear I to be your friend and adviser!”       “Insolent liar! I will not believe your promises!”       “HELP ME, POR FAVO-O-O-O-OR!”       “I would be so happy if you were in prison or a mental hospital,” Mia says confidently, crossing her arms over her chest. “Maybe, it can give you some lessons…”       “NO! MIA! M-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A! HELP ME! SOMEONE! ¡POR FAVO-O-O-O-O-OR! I NOT TO BE ABLE TO GO TO PRISON BECAUSE I TO BE PREGNANT! I CARRY A BABY! FROM DANIEL! A-A-A-A-A!”       The policemen barely take Blanca, who went too crazy, away from the house and seat her in the car to drive her to the police station. Daniel exhales with relief in his mind, feeling morally exhausted, though. He is hugging Anna tightly and pressing her close to himself, while she feels emptied but is happy that she got a chance to fight with Blanca a little. At some moment, Helene, Natalia, and Raquelle look at Mia with sympathy, while she gets upset enough after Blanca gets arrested. The girls come to the younger of the Moreno sisters and caress her shoulder in the hope of supporting her. She smiles shyly but looks at them as if she feels a little guiltily.       “Don’t worry, we will not let her run away,” Victor promises. “That girl will get what she deserves.”       “Do you think there’s a chance that she and her family will be deported to Spain as the people, who ended up in the USA illegally?” Anna asks quietly, while Daniel kisses her on the top of her head.       “Of course, there is, my darling. We will contact our colleagues in Spain. And work on the things you blamed her for.”       “She definitely has mental health issues,” Daniel notices. “Who knows, maybe, she needs some therapy. That girl is out of her mind and barely knows where reality and fantasy are.”       “Yes, yes, I noticed,” Victor nods. “We will send her to the doctors, and they will rate the mental health of that girl. If she is unhealthy, she will be getting therapy under our control.”       “I hope it will help…” Anna expresses hope.       “Anyway, folks, what is going to happen next is not your business. We will do everything and make sure that the situation does not get out of control, and Ms. Moreno gets her sentence.”       “Thank you so much for the help, Mr. Johnson,” Daniel thanks with a slight smile. “I’m truly grateful to you for everything you’ve done. Not only now, but also for the time my friends and I have known you.”       “It’s my job, Daniel,” Victor smiles shyly. “Besides, everything ended well because you did everything you should’ve done. Your reward is a chance to live a quiet life that you deserve. And of course, to be happy with Anna. Who has forgiven you, as I understand.”       “She’s done, Mr. Johnson. And now I feel like my life got the meaning and bright colors again.”       “I guess it’s destiny,” Anna shrugs with a mysterious smile. “Maybe, we should’ve gotten through all of that. To realize how much we love each other and get much closer.”       “Anyway, congrats on becoming a couple again, guys. I’m very glad you’re together again.”       “Thank you so much, Mr. Johnson. Thank you for everything you’ve done for us.”       “Let me know if you have problems. I’d be happy to help you as a conscientious member of the police staff and your good friend.”       Victor shakes Daniel and Anna by the hand, hugs them amicably, and talks to them about something else, while Raquelle, Helene, and Natalia comfort Mia somehow.       “We’re very sorry about what happened,” Raquelle says with pity in her eyes. “But we had no choice. We should’ve saved our friend from that girl.”       “It’s okay, girls,” Mia pronounces without emotions. “I must confess that I am even happy she has been arrested by the police. I’ve never been so close to Blanca to worry about her. She’s never worried about me, so why should I worry about her?”       “But your parents will be saddened…” Natalia notices quietly with sadness in her eyes.       “Yeah, but I think they won’t be surprised. Mother and Father were sure that the lie of my sister would be revealed someday, and she would get in trouble.”       “Did they know Blanca deceived Daniel?” Raquelle specifies.       “They did. I mean, they guessed. Blanca has always been a liar and storyteller and loves telling what’s never happened. She lies to everyone: her parents, our relatives, those she speaks to, and me.”       “So, did they know that Daniel wasn’t Blanca’s fiancé when she brought him to your home?” Helene wonders.       “They did. But Mom and Dad are talkative and hospitable. They wouldn’t kick a visitor out or be mean to them. They would talk even to an unfamiliar person, who would knock at their door.”       “That’s how!”       “Anyway, don’t be sorry for what happened. Blanca is sick. She’s always had a little unstable mental health. She may easily start scandals and scream like crazy.”       “It’s alright, I think the time spent in prison will be good for her,” Helene expresses hope confidently. “If she has to, she will get help in a mental hospital for sure.”       “Yeah… Blanca should be in a mental hospital.”       Natalia, Helene, and Raquelle say nothing and just nod. A few seconds later, Daniel and Anna come to the friends and Mia after leaving Victor, who says he needs to talk to the policeman.       “As far as I understand, did you know your sister’s plans well?” Daniel specifies.       “Yup, but I said nothing…” Mia replies guiltily. “I’m sorry for what happened… I just… I was afraid…”       “I got it when I saw you. You were too scared and timid and were shaking next to your sister.”       “I’m very sorry, Daniel. I wanted to tell you the truth, but I was afraid that Blanca would kill me, and you wouldn’t believe me.”       “You could've asked me to meet you, and I would’ve listened to you. And Blanca wouldn’t have known about our meeting.”       “She’s crazy. Since childhood. She got harder mental issues after my sister heard about you. Blanca has been widely obsessed with you since you started your career in a band. At first, she just loved you like any fan, but then it turned to the lovesick. My sister kind of got out of her mind because of the wish to get you. She thought that you must’ve been together. Nothing stopped her: neither the fact that you didn’t know and love her nor the fact that you had a girlfriend.”       “But why was it me?”       “I don’t know, Daniel. Blanca knew about you and the men in your band. But she liked you. Saying softly, she found the others disgusting. She thought one of them was an arrogant peacock with mental issues, the second was a baby with a pretty face, and the third one was ugly to her. Though, I don’t think so. All the three are very sweet and good-looking.”       “She definitely planned everything…”       “Blanca was ready to lie for you to stay with her. She said she’d get married to you and give birth to a child from you in any way. But sometimes she told people that she was already married to you and allegedly lost her baby. But I’m gonna tell you a secret: Blanca has some female problems due to excess weight, but she ignores them.”       “Wow…”       “Blanca made me lie. Even if she knows well that I don’t like to lie. By her order, I searched for photos of you on the Internet and pasted them with those she gave me. So, you believed you dated her.”       “I must confess that you did it well. One of the photos that I saw was a very good fake.”       “Didn’t anyone try to tell her that her lie would come to light early or late?” Anna wonders.       “Of course, everybody tried,” Mia replies. “Many times. But she wanted to hear nothing and was focused on one thing – her wedding with Daniel. Blanca told Mother and Father that she was in love and getting ready to marry. It made them confused because my sister had been single for a long time and was never popular among men. They ignored her and thought she was ugly. And then, she suddenly brought a man home and said it was her fiancé.”       “Did your parents try to talk to her about it?” Natalia asks.       “Many times. But Blanca kept saying that Daniel was her fiancé and told them to get ready for a wedding. And she told all of our relatives about it when we arrived in Spain.”       “They believed it?”       “Hardly. They know that Blanca wasn’t lucky with men. Everyone says I have much more chances to get married first.”       “Did your family know about her obsession with Daniel?”       “They suspected that her love was getting much sicker. And it was clear because Blanca was only dreaming of Daniel all day long. She lost interest in everything and could lie on a sofa with a photo of this guy and talk about love for him, eating a big piece of spaghetti or a chocolate cake at the same time.”       “Wow…”       “But Mom and Dad didn’t ruin my sister’s plans and didn’t care that she was obsessed with sick love.”       “Obsession has never led to anything good!”       “I guess they thought this wedding was an easy way to stay in the USA legally. Because… When a foreigner gets married to an American person, they can live here legally enough.”       “Do you have document issues?” Helene specifies.       “Yeah, we live here illegally,” Mia confesses a little hesitantly. “And we move from the USA to Spain and back in the same way. Thanks to our familiar… We originally got a visa officially and arrived here as tourists. But later, the term was expired and… We started to be here illegally. By that time, my parents decided to move here. And as they had to work hard to get the documents, they used the help of that familiar, who got fake documents for us.”       “Wow…” Daniel wonders.       “I told Mom and Dad that we’d be caught early or late. But they, so to say, hoped for luck. The familiar sometimes found them a one-sided job, for which they got money. I worked, too… As a pizza delivery… And Blanca got a job as a cleaning woman in the hospital. Without the help of that man. She just went to the hospital and said she was looking for a job. As our documents were fine, she got it. But she got fired some time later when they found that her documents were fake during a certain check.”       “Yeah, I know.”       “However, Blanca will get much more problems because of chasing you and trying to get into your house. Besides, she just threatened all of us…”       “I get it…” Daniel nods. “I’m sorry about what happened… But I had to do this. I wanted to live with no fear and threat that my life would be under control of that sick girl.”       “Don’t worry, I understand everything. I also feel madly ashamed of you and your girlfriend because of everything Blanca did.”       “No, no, don’t blame yourself. You aren’t…”       “Please, Daniel, forgive me for my cowardice. I could’ve ended it much earlier, but I did nothing and was silent because I feared my mad sister and thought you wouldn’t believe me.”       “Don’t find excuses, Mia. I’m not mad at you. You’re not the one to blame for being a hostage in this situation.”       “I did a bad thing by being silent about everything when I knew Blanca’s plans.”       “I understand your fears. Your sister could’ve really killed you, my girlfriend, our friends, and me.”       “I hope she will get a harsh punishment. She must pay for almost ruining your life.”       “It will happen, Mia, don’t worry,” Raquelle replies confidently. “Besides, your sister will be getting therapy at the mental hospital. You… Forgive me for saying it so openly. But it’s true.”       “It’s okay,” Mia smiles shyly. “Blanca is really sick.”       “And we’re sorry that your family will have problems with the police and probably get deported to Spain,” Anna replies with sadness in her eyes. “That you became a victim of this situation. We see you’re a good girl and didn’t want to be a part of all of it.”       “I didn’t… But I think everything happens for good reasons. But I’d like to come back here. Officially, this time.”       “Do you wanna live here?” Daniel wonders.       “Maybe. I really love New York and the USA. Living here is a great chance to practice speaking English. And I don’t wanna lose the opportunity to study at the university. Though, they might expel me due to my document issues at any time. And I’d have to start it all again.”       “And when are you going to get the documents?” Natalia asks.       “I don’t know, time will show it. I’d like to believe I will get what I want. And after living here for a few years, I can become a citizen.”       “I hope you can do this,” Daniel smiles shyly. “Many people leave their mother cities or countries to get a better life or make their dreams come true.”       “I love my family so much, but I don’t wanna participate in their tricks. My goal is to get an education, improve my English, get a job, and rent a house or an apartment.”       “Your English is great. You speak without an accent. Much better than Blanca. Her accent gets me terribly irritated.”       “Thanks, it’s nice to hear it,” Mia thanks with a shy smile.       “And I’m truly grateful to you for your help…” Daniel says nothing for two seconds and smiles a little wider. “Gracias…”       “You’re welcome. Ask me for help if you need it.”       “You can also ask us for help,” Anna says amicably. “For example, we can help you find a home if you decide to move here.”       “Thank you so much, guys. You’re very nice to me. And I’m sorry about what happened.”       Everybody smiles silently at Mia, being very nice to her and letting her know that she may not fear them. That’s why the younger of the Moreno sisters feels more confident and finds the courage to crack a shy smile. And a little later, Victor and Darwin come to them with a wish to say goodbye.       “Our colleagues and we are leaving,” Victor announces. “And we will do our best for the girl not to bother you anymore.”       “Thank you so much, Mr. Johnson,” Helene thanks with a slight smile. “You helped us again.”       “We’re so happy everything ended well,” Natalia notices confidently.       “We’re glad we managed to help you,” Darwin replies amicably.       “Thanks again,” Anna thanks.       “Yeah, thanks a lot,” Daniel adds amicably. “You helped me get rid of the heavy burden.”       “Anyway, be careful and listen to your heart next time,” Victor advises with a mysterious smile. “You will probably get no second chance to fix everything.”       “I will be smarter and more careful now.”       “Thanks for the good job,” Darwin thanks and shakes Daniel, Anna, and Helene by the hand with a slight smile. “You all did it.”       “Thank you, Mr. Policeman,” Helene smiles shyly.       “And you, girls, give a greeting to both of the MacClifes,” Darwin addresses Natalia and Raquelle.       “We will, don’t worry,” Raquelle promises with a slight smile.       “Hey, Raquelle, we haven’t yet met, as we agreed.”       “Sorry, Darwin, I was very busy. But now I can give attention to my old friend.”       “Okay,” Darwin nods with a slight smile. “When I have free time, I will surely call you.”       “Okay, buddy!”       Darwin and Raquelle take each other in a hug and share an amicable kiss on the cheek.       “Good luck to you, Mr. Austin,” Natalia wishes with a slight smile when Darwin hugs her.       “Thanks, Ms. Rochester,” Darwin thanks. “Same to you and Raquelle.”       “Come to the wedding. Watch Edward and me and Terrence and Raquelle get married.”       “If I can, I will surely come. If I am not able, I will send a gift.”       “Alright.”       “Erm, excuse me, miss…” Victor stutters, moving her eyes to Mia. “Are you really the younger sister of Ms. Moreno Rodriguez?”       “Yes, this is me,” Mia barely nods. “My name is Mia Graciella Moreno Rodriguez. Blanca is my older sister.”       “I’m very sorry, Ms. Moreno, but you also have to go to the police station with us. And I’m asking you to give me the contact information of your parents, so we can contact them and invite them for a talk.”       “Sure, Mr. Policeman, I understand it. I will go with you and help you contact our parents.”       “Go to the car in front of the gates. Officer Austin will show it to you. I will come now.”       “Alright,” Mia nods and turns to everybody, who looks at her with a sad look. “Goodbye. And forgive me for what was done by my sister, whom I’m madly ashamed of.”       Not waiting for the answer, Mia turns around, goes slowly to the hall door, and leaves the house, while Darwin follows her.       “No matter what, I’m sorry for that girl,” Helene confesses with sadness in her eyes. “She is not happy with what her sister and her parents did.”       “Anyway, she’s not a child and can live as she wants,” Natalia notices thoughtfully.       “Yeah, if she wants, she will surely come back,” Anna says confidently.       “I wish her life was good…” Raquelle wishes thoughtfully.       “Mia is a good girl,” Daniel confesses quietly. “I liked her immediately. Talking to her has always been nice to me.”       “Agree, that girl is much more educated,” Victor agrees.       “Don’t be too harsh on her. Mia is guilty of nothing and just became a victim of the situation.”       “I’m not going to. We will just talk to her and the parents of her and her sister and let them know that they may be deported from the USA and get problems with the law.”       “We know…”       “Anyway, folks, don’t think about it. As I’ve said, you shouldn’t care about what’s going to happen later. Ms. Blanca Moreno will get the sentence that she deserves and get therapy in case she needs it.”       “That’s the most important thing.”       “I’m glad your life got better,” Victor says with a slight smile. “And I hope you will live a quiet life from now on.”       “We want, Mr. Johnson,” Anna shrugs with a slight smile.       “Try not to get into serious problems that might deprive you of life. You may not get the help immediately.”       “We will try,” Helene promises with a slight smile. “Thank you for everything you’ve done again.”       “Thanks,” Victor clears his throat quickly. “Alright. I will go, too. My colleagues are waiting for me.”       “Let me walk you out,” Daniel offers.       “Stay happy, Daniel… Raquelle, Natalia, Anna, Helene…”       “See you soon,” Raquelle pronounces with a slight smile.       When Victor says goodbye to Anna, Raquelle, Helene, Natalia, and Daniel by shaking them by the hand, the man asks him to come to the hall door with a gesture, follows him, and closes it after he leaves his house. Then Perkins returns to the living room, exhales with great relief, and runs his hands over his face.       “Oh, damn, is everything really over?” Daniel moans tiredly.       “Yeah, it was too cruel…” Anna notices, running her fingers through her hair. “I thought it would be easier to deal with her.”       “But I was sure that she’d make us exhausted.”       “That girl is really outta her mind!” Natalia exclaims. “If she could, she would’ve killed everybody here!”       “Yeah.” Daniel glances at the corner where the pieces of the vase that Blanca broke are. “She broke the vase, took a piece, yelled that she’d kill herself, and threatened to kill all of us.”       “She just understood she was in a hopeless situation,” Helene says confidently.       “Oh, shit…” Anna sighs tiredly and starts to walk in circles in the living room. “What an insolent girl!”       “Yeah, an egoist,” Raquelle says thoughtfully.       “I thought I would’ve killed that bitch! I did want to pull all of her thin hair and scratch her fat face with my nails!”       “Oh, yeah, friend, you surprised us. You’ve always kinda been so quiet and silent, but now you lost your temple.”       “Indeed, Seymour,” Natalia pronounces confidently. “You surpassed yourself! You beat Moreno like a man!”       “I swear, girls, I was shocked, too,” Daniel confesses, taking a couple of things that Blanca threw at the girls and putting them on the table near the sofa. “And I got kind of confused when Anna attacked Blanca with fists and started to beat her shamelessly.”       “Yeah, if you’d given her a gun, our friend would’ve killed that hysterical girl,” Helene assumes.       “No, of course, I knew that Anna would love to tell her some bad words. But I wasn’t ready that she’d love to fight with her like that.”       “I dreamed about it since the day I saw that bitch trying to charm you!” Anna confesses with both arms crossed over her chest. “I was waiting for this day impatiently! The moment I’d kick the fat ass of that nasty cow!”       “You’re right about the ass,” Raquelle chuckles kindly. “She’s really got a big ass.”       “If she really loves eating so much, lies on a sofa for a whole day, and doesn’t want to do anything, it’s not surprising that she got such a big thing behind,” Helene replies confidently. “And she’s got fat hips. And she definitely washed her hair the last year.”       “Gosh, she doesn’t care about herself!” Natalia winces slightly. “Her hair is dirty, nails are polished badly, clothes are terrible, and she definitely did makeup with closed eyes or in a dark room.”       “Yeah!” Raquelle agrees. “Green nails look terrible! And even little girls do better makeup when they take their mom’s cosmetics.”       “I’ve gotta agree,” Daniel replies. “And she used a perfume that made me really sick. I don’t know what that thing is, but I thought I’d clean my stomach.”       “I’m sorry for her cellmates,” Helene laughs quietly. “She’s sick, hysterical, and smelly!”       “Anyway, I’m very happy,” Anna says confidently. “That girl got arrested, and I pulled her by the hair and beat her fat face enough.”       “Oh, I wanted to kick her, too…” Daniel confesses, running his hand through his hair. “If she was a boy, I would’ve surely beaten her. Because she really irritated me! I did wanna strangle that hysterical girl. Seriously, girls, nobody has made me more irritated than that madam.”       “She made us enraged, too,” Helene notices confidently. “That rat dared to insult the men and us. And my head hurts because she dragged me by the hair.”       “Yeah, she criticized us a lot…” Raquelle says gloomily with both arms crossed over her chest. “Though, I’m used to being called anorexic because I’m too skinny and have a low weight. I don’t pay attention to that anymore.”       “She does really care that I’ve got small breasts and ass,” Anna replies quietly. “Though, I’ve never considered it a problem. I feel comfortable being like this.”       “She’s just jealous,” Natalia says confidently. “Because we’re skinny and beautiful, but she’s fat and ugly. And she hates the men because they’re much luckier and have reached a lot on their own.”       “She can keep hating,” Daniel turns to the girls with his head proudly raised. “Blanca will pay for her lies and all the threats for us and will come back to Spain soon. How does it call? Calatañazor…”       “Calatañazor?” Helene asks.       “I don’t know what city it is, but Moreno said she was born there and lived with her family before moving to the USA.”       “Oh, I know about it!” Natalia exclaims. “I went by once. A beautiful but terribly small one. Its buildings remind me of something about medieval.”       “She can come back there,” Anna replies confidently. “Forever.”       “It would be great to give her a showy send-off,” Raquelle laughs quietly. “But we won’t get a chance to.”       “Huh, it would be too much!” Daniel protests. “We’ll say goodbye to her silently.”       “I’ve already pissed her off,” Anna says.       “And actually, girls, Mr. Johnson said the right thing. We shouldn’t care about what’s gonna happen to her. It’s none of our business now.”       “You’re right, buddy,” Helene agrees with a slight smile. “Let’s pretend that we didn’t hear threats and insults from that hysterical girl and keep smiling as if nothing happened.”       “We have a lot of reasons to do it!” Natalia notices cheerfully.       “That’s right!” Raquelle exclaims cheerfully.       “Hey, guys…” Anna smiles much wider and looks at all of her friends and Daniel. “Did we really do it? Did we really get a chance to live quietly? Without those, who wouldn’t let us be happy?”       “Yes, friend, we’ve gotten rid of the foreigner!” Raquelle exclaims with a wide smile, hugging Anna around the shoulders and pressing her to herself. “Nobody will steal your man, and he won’t be forced to marry someone.”       “A-a-a-a, damn, I can finally sleep well!” Daniel raises his hands. “You know how happy I am that this hysterical girl will no longer lick me with her saliva and speak in a deathly terrible voice with a great accent.”       “And she won’t make you give her an expensive ring and your property, show your computer and phone, delete us from your social networks, and sing praises to her for a whole day,” Anna adds.       “Oh, she annoyed me with all these orders, bans, and hysterics! I should’ve acted like a doll working on batteries, doing nothing, looking nowhere, and speaking every time someone presses the button.”       “Gosh, Daniel, forget about that hysterical girl!” Natalia advises cheerfully. “Blanca can find another man, who would agree to tolerate this hell.”       “And if she gets stuck on you or the men, we will kick her ass with pleasure,” Raquelle adds confidently.       “Oh, no, girls, don’t even worry about the lads. Even if that insolent gal shows up, she won’t get stuck on them. You did hear what that shameless girl said about them.”       “Oh, if she’d said much more humiliating things, I would’ve kicked her ass!” Helene says gloomily. “I would’ve scratched the eyes of that bitch!”       “I did want to pull her hair out!” Natalia crosses her arms over her chest. “For her long, dirty tongue!”       “Her insults to the lads were one more reason why I dreamed of kicking her ass,” Anna replies coldly. “So, I took revenge on her for my pain and let her know that she shouldn't have gotten closer to the men.”       “Yeah, jealousy is a terrible thing…” Natalia notices thoughtfully. “You would’ve killed that girl if Daniel, the girls and I hadn’t been next to you.”       “I’m gonna be honest – I dreamed of it. I wanted to deal with her as soon as possible and give that bitch a lesson for licking my man and feeling him up from head to foot.”       “At those moments, I thought that the lads’ help would’ve been nice to me,” Daniel confesses. “Breaking up you two was a hard thing. You beat her shamelessly, or she grabbed you by the hair…”       “But the girls and I understand why she was so aggressive,” Raquelle confesses. “If Blanca or another girl had gotten stuck on Terrence, I would’ve buried her.”       “Ha, I would’ve killed her and buried her if she got stuck on Edward!” Natalia frowns strongly. “He’s only mine! I’m the only one to be able to kiss and hug him!”       “I would’ve done the same thing if she’d put an eye on Peter!” Helene exclaims with her head proudly raised. “And I would’ve made Sammy torture her a little.”       “No, Helene, Sammy would probably deal with the men!” Anna chuckles kindly. “Remember how he was barking at them when one of them hinted at the wish to help.”       “Your friends worked hard on it,” Daniel replies confidently. “They know that the men won’t exchange them, but they poured, pretended to be hard-to-reach, and were resentful when Rose or the MacClifes just started to talk about Blanca.”       “Yeah, but we sent the fluffy to them for their best,” Raquelle replies with her head proudly raised.       “And why do we need their help?” Natalia smiles mysteriously. “We did it well without them! Our plan worked perfectly, and we completed our mission at one hundred percent.”       “Exactly!” Helene exclaims. “If we have to, we can also be fighting and determined.”       “Ah, that’s why you made them stay home!” Daniel clicks his fingers. “You wanted to play heroines, too!”       “Why not?” Natalia puts her hands on her hips with her head proudly raised. “Why are we worse than you? Girls can be way stronger than it seems.”       “Yeah!” Helene exclaims. “Everyone says women are weak! Not at all!”       “I believe, girls, I do,” Daniel laughs shyly. “You did it well! You’re all very brave and confident!”       Silence settles in the air for two seconds, during which everybody looks at each other with a slight smile and looks around the whole living room, in which they walk slowly in circles.       “Okay, guys, let’s change the topic,” Helene suggests cheerfully. “We did what we wanted, and the story of Blanca Moreno is over, too.”       “Thanks to you,” Daniel replies with a shy smile, looking at Natalia, Helene, and Raquelle. “Thank you so much for the help, girls. You can’t imagine what a great relief I feel now.”       “Indeed, thank you so much, girls,” Anna thanks with a wide smile. “We wouldn’t have done it without you.”       “I hope that bitch broke my nail for a reason,” Natalia shrugs, showing her long, broken nail on the index finger of her left hand.       “I have no words to describe my thankfulness to you for everything you’ve done for Anna and me,” Daniel replies.       “And you helped us reconcile,” Anna adds with a slight smile. “The lads and you played a major role in the fact that Daniel and I saved our relationship.”       “We just wanna see you happy,” Raquelle replies amicably. “And we never doubted that you’d reconcile someday.”       “Anyway, thank you so much for your invaluable efforts,” Anna thanks truly, putting her hands on her heart.       “Anna and I owe you and the men forever,” Daniel says amicably, hugging Anna around the shoulders, while she throws a tender look at him. “Ask us about anything.”       “We will mean it!” Natalia replies confidently with a slight smile.       “Life is getting better!”       “Hip-hip-hurrah!” Raquelle, Natalia, and Helene pronounce with wide smiles, raising their hands.       Everybody laughs quietly, while Daniel takes Anna in a strong hug with a wide smile. The girl puts her arms tightly around his neck, and the man lifts her up, wraps her around himself, places her on her feet, and kisses her cutely on the forehead and nose. At first, Natalia, Helene, and Raquelle hug each other tightly with happy whoops, but then they do the same thing to the lovers, share an amicable kiss on the cheek, and give them a five, not being shy of showing their great happiness caused by the realization of the fact that they are finally able to spend time with those, who mean a lot to them, and look forward to what is waiting for them in the nearest time.
