"Mr Cruz!" She called walking seductively towards him. "I didn't expect to see you here."

He muttered a "hmmm" without looking at her. He walked past her into the school but that didn't stop his heart from beating a mile a minute.

She twisted her lips and smiled. He couldn't look in her eyes, that means she somehow affected him and that was what she wanted.

With that in mind, she walked into the school. But immediately froze.

She wasn't expecting to see everyone who was involved in the demise of her family together at the same time.

Her breathing became faster as her heart beat a million miles a minute. It was like she was reliving the moment again. She could hear the screams of her mother and father. She could see Juan dealing blows to her already bleeding father. She could hear her mother scream "Run, run", as they tried to escape the open house.

"Dad! Please let him go!" She kept screaming but they wouldn't stop hitting her father. "Papá! Papá!"

"Just sign the darn document." Juan yelled hitting her father over and over again. "You stupid pendejo."

"Don't sign it dad!"

"Are you out of your mind? If your Dad doesn't sign the documents, he'll die." Juan had told her.

As she watched her father, blood seeping through his clothes, pleading with Juan to stop, all she could think about was his last words to her.

"I love you, Amelia."

"Have you gotten his statement? He has to confess."

"It's just a matter of time."

As the memories came flooding back, she closed her eyes and tried to catch her breath. She breathed deeply and her body felt numb and cold.

She knew she was here and she knew who she was seeing. She knew she had to continue on as if nothing happened. She had to keep her focus on where she was going.

But she couldn't stop looking at him.

"Add one more little bit. It is alright.

"Stay silent! Things will soon be over.

"Go inside! You finished?

Let's go!" "You're done!"

"Okay! More internally, please. Okay!"

Her teeth clattered. She was seething. He was a bad man, that much was clear but she wasn't going to just go away and let him go on living. She knew she had to finish him.

She would get them all back. Mateo, Maria, Juan, Santiago and everyone who was responsible for ruining her perfect family. She would get them all back. Though her family would not be whole again, at least they would be free.

They would all have to pay for their sins and she was going to make sure she had the last laugh.

She inhaled and exhaled heavily to get rid of all the tension. "I'm fine," she said loudly, throwing her hair back and pretending nothing happened.

"Mamá!" She heard Lia call. She put a smile on her face and hugged her. "You came?"

"Of course I did! I'll take you home today. "

She took her by the hand and led her out the door. Just as she was about to exit, her eyes met with that of Mateo.

She bit her lower lip and gave him a quick smile before looking away.

"politics for the young was a boring topic to discuss. That is until this man wore a book on it. And since he was the only one that had written anything on politics that youths wanted to read, it sold pretty well and he came to the top. Please put your hands together and welcome senator Diego Gomez."

The audience went wild.

It wasn't the first time they had seen the Queer Eye personality after he appeared on a panel at a conference for political and social activists hosted by the New York University.

"es un placer conocerlos a todos. I am senator Diego Gomez. I am not going to say much other than advising you all present here to never give up on your dreams. And to never let anyone stop you from pursuing your goals. Believe in yourselves and never give up."

Don't stop now.

When I started, not everyone supported me.

I am very thankful to all of the people who supported me along the way. From my mentors, to my parents, to my classmates and professors, thank you for being my biggest advocates. In one way or another, they provided me with the resources I needed.

To the communities and campuses that helped me along the way, I have so much gratitude."

***

Diego sighed as he climbed up the stairs to his house. He had had a busy day, not that he wasn't used to it. His calendar was always overflowing with functions and engagements, none of which could be blamed on his schedule.

The senator's schedule was proof that he was an active and politically minded person.

Diego got the door of his house and saw a delivery guy there. He seemed to be waiting for him.

"¿Eres Diego?" he asked

"Si! Any problem?"

"Not really. You got a special package from another country."

He tilted his head, looking confused. Another country?" He asked collecting it.

"Yes! Please can you sign here?"

"Yeah! Sure!"

He signed and the delivery guy left.

What is this guy talking about? he thought to himself. He wasn't expecting a delivery. He looked at the package, a large one wrapped in special wrapping.

Diego took out a knife from his pocket and slowly cut the tape. The package was sealed, but that didn't matter to Diego, he opened the box. Inside he saw bundles of money. They were not Mexican pesos though. They were in dollars.

Inside the box was a small envelope. It contained a letter.

"It's Amelia here. I'm giving you ten times as much as I pledged to repay you. I appreciate your kindness, thank you."

His eyes opened wide. "Amelia?" He called slowly

*flashback*

*thirteen years ago*

Diego walked angrily towards the building in front of him. His petite friend, Olivia, grabbed him and stopped him. "Are you certain it's okay for you to enter this area uninvited? Wouldn't it be preferable if we submitted a visitation request? I'm afraid." Olivia grumbled.

"Do you believe they would simply provide us the investigation tape if we did?

"But we haven't determined if...

"What I can say with certainty is...

He couldn't complete his sentence as a small person ran into him. It was a girl.

"I'm sorry. Are you okay?" He asked and he helped her up. He looked at her and saw that she was crying.

"I-it's okay, I'm fine..." She lied, wiping her tears with her sleeves and continuing to walk away. She wasn't fine, and he didn't want to let her go like that."

***

"Here, things are neatly coming to a close. Please take a look over here. He is now emerging.

The business has expanded to become a conglomerate after acquiring Sabor Estavez. And Mateo Cruz is the business's heir."

Amelia watched the news with bitterness in her eyes. She could not help but shake in anger as the news reel rolled on. She wanted to fight back, to destroy the whole building but a soothing presence pulled her back down and comforted her. She knew that voice, it was the voice of Diego.

You arrived early. Stop watching the news, please.

"Yes."

You appear dreadful. His sigh was loud. Although I understand that doing this is for your safety, I don't particularly like the idea of sending you off on your own. You're still a child, and that makes me uncomfortable.

"I'm fine,"

He again sighed.

"Although it wasn't simple to meet the requirements for the lawyers association scholarship, they created an exception for you because of your strong academic performance."

"I'm grateful, Mr. Diego. I'll remember how you helped me."

"And if you require anything while you are away." He presented a card to her. "My new number is that. Contact me by phone. I shut down my law firm."

"Why did you shut it down, exactly?"

"I'm considering quitting my job and beginning a new chapter in my life.

"Why?"

"My desire to assist others led me to become a human rights lawyer. But seeing what happened to you and your family made me realize that I can't help anyone without power. If I have that power. I have influence, and therefore I can be a thorn in the side of that system."

"I'm interested. I would like to know what kind of person you become."

"I, too, am eager to see how you develop."

"There is one certainty. I won't be a similar individual. The world would forget about me after some time, but when their misery is in the spotlight," She said that as she looked back at the television. "I will make then pay, ten times more than what they did to me."

"Present "

She broke all ties and left Mexico. Her mother vanished into thin air one day. Both of them did not speak to anyone. They vanished without a trace, as if they had abandoned the world.

The name Amelia likewise faded from my memory. And although they were finally gone, my love for her was the only connection I had left to them.

Diego asked with a surprised look on his face.She fell on the couch, trying to compose herself. "you said I should hurry up. My car broke down on the way and I had to run here.""You should change your car. it has been..."Are you going to tell me what it is or you're just going to start your lecture on why I need a new car."Diego shook his head.

    Mateo stayed late in the office again but today, it wasn't intentional. He had gathered a few members of the board to discuss an important matter."Here you are, sir,""I'm grateful." He said collecting the file. He looked at everyone present. "The LD properties listing on the New York Stock Exchange is dangerous, according to the findings."If that doesn't work, additional divisions..."There are no arguments against Las Güeros' New York listing." he said cutting of the man that had spoken. "It is a necessity, which is why we are pressing for it." He sighs. "Thus, the term "fail" is no longer acceptable. Try to solve whatever issue you perceive to be a problem within that period. Have you got it?"They all agreed, "Yes."He swung around to face his assistant. "Tell the head of the distribution unit that he needs to see me first thing in the morning before the meeting starts.""Yes sir!" he said bowing slightly.The meeting came to an end but he still stayed back.

We're running late." "I'll be down in a sec." Lia called back and rushed down the stairs. At that moment, Samantha walked into the living room. "Going out?""Yeah! There's a parent teacher meeting in Lia's school concerning the event.""Oh! I see. Isn't it a bit to early to start attending those? Won't it affect your plans."Li-lah smiled. "This is part of the plan. I've been able to see Mateo and know how to get to him. Now I need to get close to his wife too. Observe her circle of friends and acquaintances and see how to strike there.""That sounds challenging. What if she doesn't like you?""She will," said Li-lah, "or she will become very cautious.

    "Don't you know where your loyalty lies? How can you say treating Julio was more important than my Alma. Whose side are you bloody on?"The teacher held her hand to her face, she was already in tears because of how painful the slap was. She had no idea why she was being beaten, else she wouldn't have said the next thing that came out of her mouth. Absolutely not, ma'am. We have no allegiance to anyone."Another slap to the face. She winced in pain and slowly began to sob with her hand still on her face."Again! On whose side are you?"It was now that it dawned on her what she had done wrong."I..I. I'm with you, Madam Maria."The principal finally summoned the courage to speak. "Please try not to get angry. Please accept my apology on her behalf."Maria inhaled and blew it out slowly to calm her anger but it didn't work. The moment she saw the homeroom teachers face again, her anger returned."Fire her and dismiss Natalia's son from the school. Are you getting it?"The principal had a

  • Delilah   Take your wealth

    Maria’s breath quickened as Mateo and Lilah headed for the door. The thought of them talking alone sent a jolt of panic through her. If they were alone, Lilah could easily weave her lies, twist the truth, and win Mateo over again. She couldn’t allow that to happen. She stepped forward, her voice louder than before, almost frantic.“Mateo!” she called, her eyes wide with desperation. He slowed but didn’t stop. “Mateo, wait. You can’t talk to her alone. It’s a mistake. She’ll manipulate you! She’s done it before, don’t let her do it again.”Mateo paused, his hand still on the door handle, but he didn’t move to open it. The tension in the room was thick, and he turned slowly to face Lilah. His expression was conflicted, torn between the love he’d felt and the doubt Maria had planted in his heart.“Lilah,” he said quietly, his voice strained, “are you Amelia?”The room seemed to freeze. Lilah turned her head, her eyes locking onto Maria, who now had a smug look on her face. Maria stood wi

    Mateo sat at his small wooden table, a flickering candle casting soft shadows on the walls of his cramped room. The smell of roasted chicken filled the air, mixing with the faint aroma of herbs. He took a bite, savoring the crispy skin and tender meat, while his laptop sat open in front of him, the screen illuminating his face in the dim light. On the other end of the call was Lilah, her bright smile lighting up his evening.“Are you eating again?” Lilah laughed, her voice warm and teasing.Mateo chuckled, wiping his mouth with a napkin. “Guilty as charged. I can’t help it if I enjoy good food.”“You’re going to turn into a chicken soon,” she joked, her eyes sparkling through the screen.He grinned at her, feeling a warmth spread through him. “Well, if it means I get to see you every day, I’d happily become a chicken.”Lilah rolled her eyes playfully. “Flattery will get you nowhere, Mateo. But keep trying.”As they continued their light-hearted banter, Mateo leaned back in his chair,

    Mateo and Lilah were still in the office. They were busy gathering their things to leave for the day when suddenly, the door burst open with a loud crash, rattling the windows. Maria stormed in, her face twisted in anger. Her eyes were fixed on Lilah, filled with a rage that had been building for weeks. Without thinking, she ran towards Lilah, her fist ready to hit.But before Maria could reach her, Mateo reacted quickly. He stepped in front of her, his strong arm blocking her attack. With a powerful shove, he pushed Maria aside, and she flew into a nearby desk. The hard hit knocked the breath out of her, and she gasped, struggling to catch her breath.“If you ever touch her, I will make sure you are locked up for assault,” Mateo warned, his voice firm and cold. His eyes burned with protective anger, showing how serious he was. Maria's disbelief washed over her, contrasting sharply with the shock on her face.“Are you defending her? Over me?” Maria exclaimed, her voice shaky as she st

    The room was dimly lit, the only sound the soft hum of the air conditioner. Mateo, Santiago, Juan, and Logan sat around the round table, their faces illuminated only by the faint glow of the table lamp.Mateo's expression was a mask of calmness, his eyes fixed on the table as if daring anyone to speak. Santiago's face was stern, his jaw clenched in frustration. Juan's eyes darted back and forth, his brow furrowed in concern. Logan's face was twisted in a scowl, his arms crossed over his chest."Can I know why I've been summoned?" Mateo asked, his voice firm but polite, breaking the silence. "I am a busy man and I don't have time for idle sitting."Logan snickered, a sly grin spreading across his face. "Let's see how busy you'll be from today," he said, his voice dripping with malice.The door opened, and a lady walked in, carrying a stack of documents. Juan rose to collect them, his movements swift and silent. The lady departed as swiftly as she arrived, leaving behind an uncomfortab

    Maria paced back and forth in the living room, her anger simmering like a pot about to boil over. She couldn't believe Mateo had disrespected her so blatantly, spending the night with his mistress. The thought of it made her skin crawl.As she paced, her mind racing with thoughts of betrayal and hurt, it dawned on her that those nights he had claimed to be working late, he might have been with her. The realization fueled her anger, and she let out a loud yell, throwing a vase across the room. It shattered against the wall, the sound echoing through the silence.She struggled to calm herself, taking deep breaths, but her anger only seemed to intensify. That's when she saw it - Mateo's picture on the television, alongside another woman. The woman's face was blurred, but Maria knew exactly who it was. The reporter's voice droned on, but Maria didn't need to hear the words to know what was being said.Just then, Mateo walked into the house, his eyes fixed on Maria. She rushed towards him,

  • Delilah   leave her alone

    Mateo and Li-lah sat at their table, hands entwined, gazing into each other's eyes with a love-struck intensity that made Maria's blood boil. She had tried to ignore it, but the sight was too much to bear. With a mixture of anger and sadness, she stormed out of the restaurant, leaving the lovers alone.Minutes later, Daniel, Li-lah's husband, walked in, his face radiating a mix of confusion and concern. His eyes scanned the room, locking onto his wife and Mateo. The color drained from his face as he took in the intimate scene before him."Li-lah," he said, his voice trembling with emotion.Li-lah turned, her expression blank, devoid of any remorse or guilt. Daniel's eyes searched hers, hoping to find some glimmer of love or regret, but there was nothing.Daniel approached their table, his eyes welling up with tears. "So it's true," he whispered, his voice cracking. "Your mother told me you were having an affair, and I refused to believe it. I sacrificed my life for you, Li-lah, and th

  • Delilah   Do nothing

    Li-lah sat in front of the mirror, her eyes fixed on her reflection as she applied a layer of red lipstick to her lips. She couldn't help but think about the look on Maria's face when she found out about her affair with Mateo. A sly smile spread across her face as she imagined the shock and anger."Can't wait to see your face when you find out, Maria," she whispered to herself, her voice barely audible.Li-lah stood up, her movements graceful and deliberate. She walked sexily towards the mirror, her hips swaying with each step. She liked what she saw - a woman confident and in control."There's no way Mateo will resist me tonight," she said, her voice filled with conviction.Just as she was about to laugh, the door opened and Samantha walked in. Sam's eyes narrowed as she took in Li-lah's outfit - a tight red dress that left little to the imagination."Where are you going dressed like that?" Sam asked, her voice laced with suspicion."I have a date with Mateo," Li-lah replied, her voi

    Li-lah's expression faltered, her eyes welling up with tears as she gazed at Mateo. She reached out, her hand covering his, her voice trembling with emotion. "I won't leave you, Mateo. I'm here for you, always." Mateo's eyes locked onto hers, his face inches from hers. He leaned in, his lips brushing against Li-lah's in a gentle, yet passionate kiss. He pulled her close, but it was as if she wasn't close enough. His hands began to roam her body, tearing off the clothes she wore piece by piece. Li-lah gasped, a mix of surprise and longing flooding her senses as Mateo's hands explored her, igniting a fire within her she hadn't expected. The world around them faded, leaving only the warmth of their connection and the rhythm of their hearts. As the fabric fell away, so did their inhibitions, revealing not just skin, but the raw vulnerability that had brought them together in the first place. She could feel the weight of his emotions in every gentle touch, every brush of his lips. "

    "What makes you think so Li-lah? My husband? Another woman?"Li-lah could see that she was struggling to keep her composure, a composure she needed to see Maria break."Think of it Maria. He came to watch your performance empty-handed? No flowers to gifts and to top it all, he hasn't got once looked at you."Maria took several shakey breathes trying so hard to stable her emotions. She wanted to scream, shout , curse, break things but she couldn't. She turned to look up at her husband again and she heard Li-lah 's voice. " The night he didn't come home, have you been able to figure out where he was?"Maria turned to look at her, her eyes blazing with anger. "Follow me." She said and walked away.Just as Li-lah made to follow her, she heard her name. She turned to see Samantha asking towards her. The look on her face told Li-lah she wasn't pleased.
