An original story by
Yolanda Vargas Dulche
♫ She is shameless
Because she is the most beautiful woman
She has almost nothing
but she likes the expensive life
and I do like her
and I know how much she loves me
I know she dreams about me
but she wakes up in another bed
and money stole her heart
and lies won her soul
and her pain hurts me
much more than her betrayal
and I was born to love her
even though she leaves
Woman of nobody, woman of everybody,
woman that kills,
woman that hurts, woman
that gives herself, and captivates you
Such an expensive woman, ungrateful woman
I know that you won't forget me
although you leave
I do know that you won't forget me
although you leave
I do know that you won't forget me
although you leave ♫
(Narrator) This is Rubí
So beautiful, in a mischievous way
What woman does not desire
to be beautiful?
What man remains indifferent
to the charms of a beautiful woman?
But careful,
To you, women,
let this serve as an example to you
to prevent physical beauty
from fading the beauty of your soul.
And you, men, first know
the soul of the woman that you love.
Rubí…
This is for you
Paco, we have already talked about this
many times
No, no…
I am not asking you for anything.
Only that…you accept this rose.
Yes?
It’s fine, Paco.
But only because we are friends.
Yes, yes, of course. Friends.
-Bye.
-Bye.
No way, dude.
She blew you off again.
I don’t know why you insist
with this vain girl. She is arrogant.
The arrogant one is you.
And you say things like that because…
it gives you that courage everybody loves.
(Maribel) What a pretty flower.
(Rubí) Yes, but I am not interested
in anything with Paco.
(Maribel) He is cute and handsome.
(Rubí) Good, if you like him,
I will give him to you.
(Maribel) Rubí, I only have eyes for Hec.
(Rubí) How could I forget?
Héctor, Héctor, and Héctor.
(Mariblel) It’s just that I am so excited.
I cannot believe
that he is going to come to Mexico soon.
I have to show you
all the new clothes that I bought.
(Rubí) Of course, but if we go to your house
it is to study for the exam.
(Maribel) Yes!
Thanks Cayetano.
You’re welcome miss.
(Maribel) Oh I really love your house.
And we can swim for a bit? We can
study while we sunbathe, right?
No, you already know that
I don’t like to wear a bathing suit.
Hey, my dad told me
that today you could come over to eat.
Oh am I finally going
to get to meet him?
The chauffeur gave me this flower
that you left in the car.
Put it in the vase, Pancha,
so it does not wither.
See to it, nana, please.
Yes, my child.
Look at you, I didn’t know
that your friend has a suitor.
For me, Paco, is not a suitor!
What’s with this meddling from Pancha
Eh?
Don’t worry about it.
You already know that she always keeps
an eye on me and all those around me.
Try to understand her. She has cared
for me since I was a little girl.
It’s fine. If Pancha is
so important to you,
She’s going to be important to me, too,
Even though she can’t stand me.
(Arturo): How is that only two million
dollars? No, that was not the deal.
Send an email to Frankfurt
to contact us as soon as possible.
Daddy!
Daddy, it’s good that you could
come to eat.
Daughter, how was school?
Good. Look, this is Rubí, my friend
that I have told you so much about.
-Good afternoon.
-Very good afternoon
Isn’t it true that I didn’t exaggerate
when I told you that she is very pretty?
More than I could have imagined.
But she doesn’t surpass you, my princess.
And Maribel is a princess
She lives in a palace
and with a true king.
(Lady Lola): Why do they always
have these made up things?
My dear Cristina!
What’s a matter, daughter?
Why are you crying?
Hey, Lady Lola, it’s that there were
staff cuts and…they let me go.
That’s outrageous, my love.
That’s outrageous.
Please, don’t tell anyone.
I don’t want my mom to know,
because it is going to worry her a lot.
Yes, but look how you are, child.
Do you think that she is not going
to realize that something has happened?
Walk, look, let’s go to my house,
calm yourself, drink some tea
and tell me everything.
Now give it a tug, let’s go, come on.
Lady Chola, there I entrust you, eh?
(Maribel) Rubí has become
my best friend in university, daddy.
More like the only, because the others
pity me or don’t know how to treat me
because of my leg.
Don’t think about that.
Look how fortunate you are,
all that you have,
starting with a dad like this.
You have all that you could ever
want to be happy.
That’s right, princess. And, tell me, Rubí,
what does your dad dedicate himself to?
My dad died, sir. My sister Cristina
supports my mom and me,
and I am in the same university as Maribel
because I have a half scholarship.
But it does not embarrass me that people
know this is the situation that I live in.
For the time being.
Hopefully I find something soon because
I also have to pay for Rubí’s school.
Perhaps it is for the best if she stops
her studies and looks for work, too.
Even if it is necessary, no way. I don’t
want that, because being a professional,
it is going to be easier
for my sister to have an open path.
No, because in these times, having
a career is not a guarantee of anything.
There are lots of unemployed
professionals, my dear Cristina.
No, that is not going to happen to Rubí.
She has always had lots of luck.
Your dad really really liked me, eh?
I love it.
Although, as you saw, he is always
busy with his work.
It must be a great responsibility
to major a brokerage house.
And, really, since he has been widowed,
has he not had another partner?
Well, he has friends
and sometimes he goes out with them,
but I think he doesn’t want
to marry again because of me
Would it bother you if he did?
Not at all, it would make me very happy.
It is more, I am sure that when I
get married, he is going to redo his life.
Woah, woah, woah… what are you talking
about when you get married?
Is it getting serious
with your gentleman from the Internet?
Well, I don’t want to be forward, for now,
what I can say
is that I am extremely in love.
I am dying of desire
to have my Héctor near me
Oh yes! My Héctor…
Enough, Rubí!
(New York)
As you may realize,
our proposals have always complied
with the rules laid down.
In addition, its design was according
to Zone Zero.
Something very ecological, and recapturing
the idea of a city with life
Very good, Héctor.
Well I think that there is no longer
any doubt.
Will you excuse us?
Of course.
Excuse me.
(Mexico City)
And your dad is okay with his princess
going with someone that he doesn’t know?
Well we have not talked much about it,
but he has good references of Hector.
He knows his godfather
because he has done business with him.
His godfather is one thing,
But what about his parents?
They passed away in an accident
No way!
His godparents are practically
his only family.
His godfather handles his inheritance
and that appears to be good
because they left him two cattle
ranches and now he has four.
Well what luck you have, eh?
A rich and overly handsome boyfriend.
Just like the man I want
to marry me.
Héctor, congratulations.
They were very happy with your work.
That makes me happy, Howard.
So, get ready.
I am sure that they are going to want
you to take charge of the next project
We have already talked about this, Howard.
I have spent four years outside of Mexico
and before I had no problems
staying, but now…
But this project is very important.
It can open doors for you
in the architecture world.
Think about it, think about it.
I’m sorry, Howard, but Maribel is more
important than all that and more.
Ah, love…
♫ Love, love, love… ♫
This girl from the Internet
has stolen your heart, eh?
You don’t even know
Cheers!
A knight in shining armor
for the little princess of the castle.
Ah, Rubí, forget the things,
the money doesn’t interest me.
You say that because you have it
and Héctor, too.
It isn’t the money that matters to me,
but his way of being, of thinking,
his feelings.
He is so cute!
Ao you are going to start off cheesy?
No, Rubí, I am being serious.
Wow! You bought yourself clothes.
This is precious.
If you stay, I will give it to you.
Oh no. What do you think? It’s yours.
And you bought it for when
Héctor comes, right?
I have others.
Try it, Rubí. Come on.
Well, only because you insist. Yes!
Rubí?
No, mom, it’s me.
It’s a miracle that you left
the office so early.
It’s just that there wasn’t much work.
And where is Rubí off to?
She has not returned from university?
She should not be late. She must be
having fun with her friends.
You know how she is.
Yeah, mom.
You have a much better eye than me.
Have them, Rubí, these match you.
Take them! And the dress, too, yeah?
Oh, good, thank you!
You’re welcome!
Thank you.
Oh, I don’t feel like I have to study.
I would prefer to write to Héctor.
I still don’t understand that you are
so in love with a dude
that you have never seen in person.
Well, we send pictures
and we talk on the phone often.
Although, to me,
it is more enjoyable to write him.
There are things that take less work for me
to say through the Internet than by phone.
Your relationship is so strange to me…
For me to fall in love, first I would have
to know what I feel
when I have him near me,
when he touches me, when he kisses me.
Oh, Rubí, then you say that
I am a romantic
Well I am not feeling romantic,
rather realistic.
The physical contact is very important
in a loving relationship
Because if not, it is only like
having a good friend.
Oh, well you don’t know.
I believe that I am going to faint
the first time that Héctor kisses me.
I am going to order the chauffeur that will take you to your house.
(Rubi) Thank you
You're forgetting your rose again.
You're always so attentive to everything,
aren't you?
Mark my words
about everything concerning Maribel?
very well I have watched her
Because I love her like a daughter
Because I love her like a daughter
(Rubi) Well mark MY words because
She told me she loves me like a sister
How lovely, right?
(Maribel) Ready!
Cayetano is waiting for us.
