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
(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.
