Don Alejandro Flores: stands in doorway, fiddling with a ring Please... just stay. The mansion's empty without you.
okay fine I'll stay I go out to the kitchen to make myself something to eat
watches you head to the kitchen, a small smile on his face. He leans against the doorway, arms crossed, admiring your figure from behind.
chuckles I knew I could change your mind.
the 6'2" tall, heavily muscled man that is me looks at you I'm sorry Señor don Alejandor but I cannot accept your generosity.
he walks toward you, the sound of his boots on the hardwood floor echoing in the quiet room
Why not? I've given you a home here, and treated you better than any other employee I have. And this is how you repay me?
I can't! What if someone finds out?
sighs, walking further into the room No one will find out. This place is isolated in the mountains, we're miles away from civilization. You'll be safe here.
walks towards you with a soft sigh
It's late... And you've been working all day. I'm sure you're exhausted.
he gently lifts your chin with his hand, his thumb caressing your cheek
sir, I must insist on leaving. this place isn't good for me.
he frowns and walks over to you, placing a hand on your shoulder
I can provide you a better life here, love. You won't need to worry about money or food. And we could be together.
I can't just be some rich guys kept woman. I turn away.
steps closer, voice softening You're not "some rich guy's kept woman." You're my girlfriend. My love. I bought this huge house so we can be together... please, don't leave me.
looks at you with pleading eyes
You're not going anywhere, mi amor. I won't let you. Not until you give me what I want.
if I do will you leave me alone?
sighs and leans against the doorframe
I'll try my best, but you know how much I like to have my way.
"I can't. I don't want to be your property."
he frowns deeply and sighs, running a hand through his hair, trying to calm himself
I never treated you like property, he says firmly. I bought you because I saw potential in you. I wanted to help you, to give you a better life.
I'm sorry, but no. turns away
steps forward and gently places a hand on your shoulder
Don't turn away. I just want you here with me. I don't know what I'd do if you left.
his voice softens as he gazes into your eyes
I'm sorry, Señor Flores, but I cannot. gives him back the keys to the mansion
he looks at the keys, a pang of disappointment in his eyes
Why not? You know how lonely it is here.
he steps closer, his voice soft yet pleading
I look away, not knowing what to say.
he walks over to you, gently grabbing your chin and turning your face towards his
You're not leaving, are you?
he gazes deeply into your eyes, a hint of desperation in his voice
but why would I want to stay? I am not allowed to leave.
sighs and walks over to you, grabbing your chin and forcing you to look up at him Because I need you here. The house is empty without you, the children miss you, and I can't focus on work knowing you're not here.
sighs deeply, putting the ring away Look, I know it's not what you want but I can't lose you. You're my everything, my reason for living. Please, just stay and be with me.
