Hugo is still so cold to Monica. She doesn't see what could have caused it, why he has gone from a warm, open, fun, and loving man to a cold-hearted, cruel monster who wants to manipulate her into marriage. She feels betrayed, blackmailed, and hurt. She continues with the plan out of a sense of duty to care for her father and cure his illness. But her best friend, Martha, is warning her against Hugo's new side and trying to get Monica and her father to run away to Australia to live with Martha's aunt in relative safety.

When Hugo finally opens his heart to her again, she sees the conflict inside him and the suffering he has quietly been going through. She wants to open herself to him, but she feels rushed and scared. He pushes her through the marriage, which they must then consummate. Monica prepares herself for the final act, but as they attempt to make love, the monster in Hugo takes over....
