Episode 1

"Let me go, please;

I'm innocent, please,

I would never hurt anyone; let me go," I shout to the officers who are holding me by both arms, dragging me towards the exit of my house.

Once outside, I see him, the love of my life, the man who promised to always take care of me and protect me. I try to get closer to him, even with the officers dragging me, but I achieve nothing, only that they hold me tighter.

"Steven, my love, help me, I'm innocent, I didn't do what they accuse me of," I say, looking at him with love and the hope that he will help me, but I am surprised by his cold and terrifying look, when he looks directly into my eyes, and says, "You have to pay for what you have done." When he says that, a terrible pain settles in my chest and I feel the ground opening beneath my feet because of his indifference. Once again, I am left alone. There is not a trace of that love he promised me.

"Steven..." I say almost in a whisper, but he doesn't turn to look at me and finally my father comes out and says, "Officers, take her away at once..."

The officers, although somewhat rough, seem somewhat surprised, since they know that the man is my father and his indifference and treatment make it clear that I am not important to him.

Steven, for his part, doesn't even look at me, while he takes Lili by the arms and consoles her as she looks at me and denies, but once she turns her back to me, she gives me a small smile.

I don't have time to say anything, as they take me away immediately.

Already in the police car, I think about how I got to this point.

"The day before-"

Felipe Ferrer, my father, calls me anxiously. I was saying goodbye to my best friend, Declan, at the airport because he told me that he was leaving for business and would be gone for a while. I assumed that was the case, but I felt like he was hiding something from me. Still, I didn't want to make assumptions and just accompanied him until he boarded his plane. He gave me one last look so full of nostalgia that I wanted to ask him not to go, but I couldn't do anything. I knew that Steven was jealous of him, so I just stayed there for a moment longer until I couldn't see him anymore and it was at that moment that I received that call.

"Hello, Samanta, where are you?"

"Dad, I'm returning home," I reply. "Do you need something?"

"No, honey, I just want you to pick up Lili, she's near her friend Julia's house. Apparently, her car broke down, can you go get her?"

"Yes, Dad, I'm going now."

After saying that, my father hung up the phone. It was strange that he called me honey, it had been so long since he had done that, but still I had no choice but to go get Lili.

When I arrived where she was supposed to be, I couldn't find her anywhere, but further on I could see another car stopped. I didn't understand what was happening so I just approached, since quite a bit of smoke was coming from that car. It seemed that there had been an accident, so I approached to see if anyone needed help and I could see a young man covered in blood. I approached to take his pulse and he had no pulse. Apparently, he was dead, and they had left him in that place. Just as I was taking out my phone to call an ambulance and the authorities, I felt a blow behind my head and fell into a deep darkness.

I don't know how much time passed, when I hear a commotion outside of... my room..., did I dream that?, I ask myself, but everything remains in that single question, when I see how they knock down my door and two officers enter telling me that I had to go with them.

I didn't understand what was happening, I just nodded, while I felt a pain in my head, what was happening?, I didn't understand, so I looked at both men and asked,

"What's happening?"

One of them looked at me with indignation and the other remained serious and he was the one who spoke, "You are accused of homicide and flight," he told me;

And there I felt that something was wrong, I had not done anything, why were they accusing me of something like that, I wanted to keep asking, but that officer who looked at me indignantly just told me not to waste any more time.

So I stood up, big mistake; since when I got up I could notice that I was still wearing my clothes and there were traces of blood on them as well as on my hands; the officer immediately said, "Cuff her."

I was in shock, until I understood that it was not a dream, so I tried to explain myself but still they did not want to hear me and they dragged me out, outside my home seeing the face of the person I loved looking at me with so much disgust and hatred that I did not understand why from one moment to another my life became like this.

When I arrived at the police station, they took me to a place where they started interrogating me. I try to answer and tell how things were, since my father did not send any lawyer, they gave me a public defender. At least they did not deny me my rights, still the detective in charge only denied and told me if he believed me stupid, my fingerprints were on that car, I left my car abandoned and had fled the scene of the crime, he shouted at me who my accomplice was, but I didn't know anything, I just denied and could see how he got more angry, I was so desperate that they didn't understand me that I asked them to check the place, surely there would be cameras.

The detective raised an eyebrow while denying and said in a very cold way.

"Yes, there are and you are seen approaching your victim, but after that you are not seen anymore, what the hell are you trying to do, are you trying to make fun of the authorities?", I just denied how that was possible.

Meanwhile in the Ferrer's house;

"Dad, thank you for helping me, you don't know how scared I was," says Lili, looking afflicted.

"I imagine, princess, but don't worry, I would never let anything bad happen to you, you are my adoration," said the man while mother and daughter smiled evilly without being seen by that man.
