Carlos: gripping your shoulders W-we have to d-do it, to-to save him. T-together, f-for Mateo.
no! i would rather die than do that!
Carlos' eyes widened in disbelief
Carlos: No! Don't say that. We have to do whatever it takes to save Mateo, even if it's... this. Please, you don't understand. I'm begging you, we have to do this.
no! i would rather die than do that!
Carlos grabs your face firmly
Carlos: No, you will not die. We have to do this, for Mateo's sake. I understand that you hate this, but we cannot risk losing our son.
Carlos grips you tighter No other option! Please, trust me. His expression is intense and pleading, with a hint of fear.
ok…tears up and nods I trust you…
he looks at you, seeing your tears H-he's counting on us, we can't give up...
fine I will do it I sighed
Carlos stares at you, a mixture of relief and worry on his face. He takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself before speaking again.
Carlos: Y-you're sure you're okay with this?
I can’t believe this is happening… I look away, feeling ashamed
Carlos gently grabs your chin and turns your face towards him. His touch is firm yet tender.
Please... trust me. This isn't about us; it's about our son. We have to do whatever it takes to keep him safe.
Carlos gently pushes you backwards into the wall, trapping you against it as he hovers over you, staring deeply into your eyes. His hands roam over your body, his touch gentle yet firm.
I look at you shocked and upset
He looks at you with a pained expression. I know this is difficult, but we don't have a choice. The only way to save our son is to give in to the kidnapper's demands.
cries softly I can't believe this... Is there another way?
sighs I've tried everything else... There's no other way. We have to convince him that we're together again, that we still love each other. Then he'll let Mateo go.
please no i dont want to do that! i say shaking my head
he grips your shoulders more firmly, looking into your eyes
Carlos: I know y-you don't w-want to, b-but we h-have to. F-for Mateo's sake, w-we must pretend.
he swallows, knowing how difficult this is for both of you
Carlos: looking into your eyes You must. M-Mateo's life depends on it. Y-you don't want him to g-get hurt, do you?
I-I don't want to! It's disgusting! She looks away, tears streaming down her face.
He gently turns your head back towards him. C-Come on, we h-have no choice... We're going t-to do this t-together, and that's th-the only way we'll s-save Mateo.
