Mark Conely is a violinist who has always lived in his private world, music, however, when he reached adolescence he met two friends, Tony and Josie, who would change his life forever, an alliance of love and friendship that became in hate and resentment, a love triangle that made their lives never be the same.

A NEW DAY FOR LOVE

— CALMA JOSIE — shouted Mark as he shook her trying to wake her up from that nightmare — you need to calm down, for God's sake...


— I swear, Mark — she said desperately in tears — it was him, it wasn't a ghost, it was Anthony...


Mark tried to stay calm, but seeing her despair, he felt that this could be the harbinger of something much worse.


— I want to believe everything you're telling me, Josie, but there's no Jacqueline, there's no Anthony anymore... he's dead...


— You idiot — said Jacqueline — Anthony tricked the three of us, now we're both here in this mental hospital...


Mark was startled by the brusque way Josie had spoken to him.


— I think I can finally introduce myself to the idiot Josie is in love with, pleasure, I'm Jacqueline Monaè.


Mark was feeling scared at that moment.


— Josie? I think you're the one kidding, it was me you slept with, not that idiot Josie, if it were with her I wouldn't be in this wheelchair, I'm the one Anthony loves, it's me he's sickly jealous of.


— Do you love it — she said sharply — or do you think he's really dead?


— Since you are imbeciles and innocent, you fell right into our theater.


— I'm sorry — asked Marina, who entered the conversation for the first time while just observing all that — but what's the point of all this?


— There's no point, that's the funny part, I tried to play against him and I lost, I'm stuck here in this hell and you're in a wheelchair, in the end Anthony won...


Mark stared at Josie with a pitying look.


— Sorry Mark — Jacqueline said — but from the beginning you were just a pawn, Anthony knew that our lives had been marked differently, even without saying anything, there was a bet between us, the loser would give everything he wanted to the winner, this includes our own life.


— So — said Mark, leaving the room — you and Josie are the pawns on this board, but I haven't been defeated yet, and I won't be...


— That's what you think... Tony always knows everything...


— It doesn't matter… it's just us here, it's impossible for him to know.


— I told you, you idiot... he always knows everything.


— And how does he know everything if none of us have told him?
