A Tumultuous Day at La Promesa
Eugenia petitions Martina for a prohibited act in "The Promise", subsequently squaring off against Lorenzo
The day at La Promesa was far from ordinary, with the grand palace playing host to another nuptial ceremony - the secret union of Adriano and Catalina. As the festivities unfolded, one particular family member found herself on an emotional rollercoaster - Eugenia. Caught in a whirlwind of emotions, she couldn't help but feel a pang of longing upon witnessing her niece with her children. The sight served as a stark reminder of all that she had missed out on in life.
Eugenia's Fervent Request
Following the wedding, Eugenia and Martina engaged in a heartfelt conversation. It was then that Martina shared a shocking secret - she too had been incarcerated in a psychiatric center, thanks to a certain benefactor - the Count of Ayala. Martina was hesitant to relive those grueling days, but she wanted her aunt to know one thing: "I'm truly sorry for all the years you've spent locked up in such a place. I'm here for you, whatever you need."
Eugenia expressed her gratitude and made an impassioned plea: "I've made up my mind to visit my sister, and you're the only person who can help me achieve this." The problem? Visiting Cruz was strictly forbidden by the marchioness, especially after Martina's clandestine escape to Córdoba. So, what will Martina do to aid her aunt in this challenging endeavor? We'll have to wait for more chapters of La Promesa to find out!
Eugenia's Emotional Outburst
Before the wedding, Eugenia's mood seemed somber. She lamented about how the years spent incarcerated made her feel like she had missed out on everything that truly mattered in life. Eventually, she took her frustrations out on Lorenzo, the marchioness' husband: "I will never, ever forgive you for what you did to me. You didn't just use force against me like the coward you are. You took away everything I loved, locking me up in a fancy hotel instead. I couldn't do anything to break free, to feel alive," she seethed.
Eugenia recounted her harrowing experiences at the psychiatric center: "They confined me to a chair, reducing me to my scattered thoughts that weren't very clear. You know why." The captivating part? Lorenzo remained unperturbed, allowing his wife to wish the worst for him: "That you put me there should be more than enough to justify the hate I feel towards you. I hope you suffer tenfold what I suffered, if it's life, even better. And if not, I have no doubt that hell awaits you."
- Eugenia's emotional state about her missed opportunities for health-and-wellness and lifestyle improvements was evident when she lamented, "I've made up my mind to visit my sister, and you're the only person who can help me achieve this."
