Marissa sat on the bed's edge, holding Paula's hand with a calm reassurance in her eyes, encouraging Paula to open up. "You don't have to carry it alone, Paula. Whatever it is, we'll face it together."Paula pulled her hands away from Marissa's, her gaze fixed on the empty wall ahead."José Luis was... he was my boyfriend," Paula began. "I... I used to live in a whirlwind of drugs, sex, and clubbing. No matter how hard my father tried to intervene, I was lost in the thrill of it all, finding peace and excitement in the chaos alongside Luis. But then... then everything changed. The club was raided by the police, chaos erupted, and Luis... Luis managed to hide me, but he was caught. He got sentenced to four years behind bars.

The door opened, and Efrain entered, finding Marissa asleep on the couch. The sound of the door woke her, though she stayed lying down, still feeling drowsy from her sleep. She had drifted off after her phone call with Paula the previous night. As she stirred, Efrain came closer, "What are you doing here in the living room? Did you spend the night here?" Marissa nodded, rubbing her eyes. "I've been waiting for you all night. I should have called you, but I don't have your number." "I spent the night at Diana's, we got very drunk.

Every day, she went to the hospital feeling guilty and sorry. However, Luna and Diana always stopped her f
A few days later, Efrain, leaning on his crutches, and Marissa arrived at his house. With Marissa's help, Efrain settled onto the sofa, and she brought over a side table and a pillow to prop up his injured leg."Thank you," Efrain expressed. Marissa sat closer to him, feeling his arm encircle her shoulders. "You don't need to thank me," she murmured, meeting his gaze with affection. "I love looking after you.
