front of her mirror, drying her hair. To her surprise, her friend who used to be brown now has hair as blonde as hers. -Darcy… – she turns and smiles at him satisfied -. You look beautiful – Margaret says excitedly, approaching her -. I can’t believe it, you’re going to make Dan fall in love again. “Don’t even mention that one to me,” Darcy says hatefully. There is only one man that interests me, but he will already be for me. Tell me, I see you worried. -Yes, it’s just… Darcy, my mother-in-law thinks I have a lover and that my Charlize is not Gerard’s daughter. You have to help me-she says taking her arm-. You know that I love your cousin, he is my first love, my only man… how could I deceive him if he is the best man in the world, the one who makes me move the floor just thinking about him? – My aunt will say it for a reason – Darcy tells her with a tone of doubt and Margaret frowns -. someone must tell her that lie, let’s talk to her. -Thanks. The two leave the room, but a couple of meters before reaching the stairs, Darcy sees her opportunity, she takes Margaret’s arm and says with deep hatred. -I told my aunt that you had a lover and that monster is not my Gerard. Darcy? What… what are you talking about? – Margaret tells him, trying to get away from Darcy, but as soon as she sees the look of her friend, she covers her belly with her free hand- -I’m talking about how I’m tired of seeing you happy with the love of my life, with my man. I brought you to this house because I felt sorry that everyone saw you badly, for having less money than all of us and that’s how you pay me? Spreading my Gerard’s legs?! “Darcy, you hurt me!” -Margaret is scared, because that’s not her friend, not at all-Gerard is a cousin, you can’t be in love with him… -I was the apple of his eye, but you came along and ruined my life… but no more. -What…? Margaret lets go, but Darcy grabs her hair again this time, bringing tears to the woman, who covers her belly with both hands. -Darcy, please… you’re my friend, I swear I forgive you everything, I won’t tell Gerard about this, just be careful, my daughter… “Your daughter of hers,” he tells her, pulling her closer and bringing her closer to her. She will not be born… and you will not continue to live either. He drags Margaret the remaining distance to the ladder and throws her down the ladder mercilessly, hard and furiously, smiling as he watches the woman roll, unable to stop her fall and only protecting her belly. When Margaret falls at the bottom of the stairs, she starts screaming hysterically. -Help!! Call an ambulance!! -her tears of emotion come out of her eyes, while everyone confuses them with the anguish of seeing her friend lying there-. Please… don’t die. Inside she was screaming with emotion, because the unfortunate woman was going to die at last and she was going to stay with Gerard. Today… Darcy stood by the bed for a long time, imagining the joy she would get rid of Luz, remembering the way she had killed Margaret so she would disappear once and for all. once “Hello, Lucecita,” she whispers in his ear. I came to kill you, like I did Margaret. I think I can tell you my darkest secret, because it’s not just Gerard who’s a criminal. You’ll see her – caresses Luz’s hair and
