William had been losing at cards all night. From the other room, Debra could hear the occasional bickering between William and Randy.

In her room, Debra turned on the TV. The late-night news was plastered with scandalous headlines about her and Juan's rumored divorce. In the corner of the screen, a blurred image of Marion appeared, alongside the caption 'Gigolo'. The situation was serious, but the moment she saw the caption, she burst out laughing.

Marion raised an eyebrow at her. "What's so funny?"

"Gigolo?" Debra managed between giggles. "You're one of the most feared men in the city, right alongside Juan, and now they're calling you a gigolo."

Marion lightly tapped her forehead. "Ungrateful little thing."

"Ungrateful?" Debra shot back. "I should be asking you. Who told you to come to this island? And you were the one who stuffed crabs and lobsters into the nets, right?"

She had thought it odd at the time but had brushed it off as a trick by the production team. Now, it was obvious that Marion had been behind it all, not wanting her and Juan to be together.
