The atmosphere turned somber in an instant as everyone learned of the fatal tragedy. My parents were shocked, and Nelson's parents could not hide their anguish. April, by my side, tried to calm me down, while Luis José, also present, evaluated Nelson's critical condition. With a firm voice, he said: — He's still breathing, but we can't move him. We must wait for the ambulance to arrive; His situation is serious.I was lying on the floor next to Nelson with my dress stained with blood, we were anxiously awaiting the arrival of medical help.You didn't have to be a doctor to understand the seriousness of his condition. Minutes later, the ambulance appeared. My father, seeing me in the bloody wedding dress, suggested:—Ana Paula, Luis José should go in the ambulance. He is a doctor and can assist the paramedics during the transfer to the clinic. You are too nervous; Go change and then catch up with them.Luis José accepted without hesitation. Despite the rivalry between the two, his duty
Forbidden husband The supposed friend
Nelson's mother looked at me waiting for my response, however I felt stunned, I didn't know how to explain to her that before the accident we were arguing because I had decided not to be his wife on what was supposed to be our honeymoon. Not to mention that the grandson she was looking forward to was not her beloved and only son.—Ana Paula, you have remained silent and turned pale. Is something happening that I don't know about? I just want to know what happened before the accident, because I still don't understand what you and my son were doing outside the house and in the middle of the street when you were celebrating your wedding. And to make matters worse, the person who ran over him fled.— Mrs. Catalina, what's happening is that Nelson... is that... he asked me to leave the party because he was very drunk and wanted to leave. And then…I didn't know how to find an excuse that sounded coherent, I felt completely lost. But as things of God, just at that precise moment, the doctor
Forbidden husband Cruel news
A week later…It had been a week since Nelson's accident; They were extremely difficult days, but his delicate condition had improved. The doctor decided to move him from the intensive care unit to a private room so he could continue his recovery there. However, along with this good news, the inevitable moment arrived: we had to reveal the truth about his permanent disability.That morning, I got up early and headed straight to the clinic. He needed to be there when the doctor gave him the devastating news. The weight of that moment oppressed me; He knew how difficult it would be for Nelson, especially considering his active social life was now cut short. And every minute that passed I felt more responsible for his misfortune.(…)As I walked down the hallway toward the patient rooms, I came face to face with Luis José, which surprised me.-What are you doing here? I snapped.—Hello, Ana Paula, he responded calmly.-I asked you a question! How dare you show up today, when the doctor i
Forbidden husband The cardiologist
My hands were cold, I didn't know what Nelson was going to say to me, in all this time his treatment towards me had changed considerably, far from being his wife, she seemed more like his slave. I knew he had me in his hands and was taking advantage of that to manipulate me as he pleased.—So... What is that so important that you have to tell me?— In all the time that I have been hospitalized in this clinic without being able to move from this bed, I have had enough time to reflect on our situation, that is why I have decided that as soon as I leave here, you and I will go to live outside of Mexico.- What have you said? Live outside the country? But why? I think that would be very painful for your parents, especially now that you find yourself so vulnerable.—I precisely don't want to be a burden for them. And also, I want a second opinion from another doctor, I don't plan to sit idly by in this wheelchair without at least trying to do something to recover.— But you know that I hav

I also shared that belief, since it was uncomfortable for me to think about moving to my parents' house, where I already had to endure Luis José's presence.Mrs. Catalina was radiant with happiness, despite the circumstances. For her and my father-in-law, the most important thing was knowing that their son was alive.—Nelson, my love, I already prepared the best room in the house. I want you and Ana Paula to feel comfortable when you settle in. I even prepared the food you like so much. “You don't know how much joy it makes me to know that you will be with your family again,” said Mrs. Catalina.I began to worry, since I had not considered the possibility of moving to his parents'

Please answer me! —I screamed, desperate.My father collapsed to the ground, and helplessness invaded me. Nelson was there, paralyzed. Full of anger and fear, I pointed a trembling finger at him as I shouted:- It's your fault! You are to blame for my father being like this. I swear to you that if something happens to my father, I will never forgive you.My sobs echoed throughout the house, and in an instant, everyone rushed to the garden, alerted by my cries of despair. My mother arrived first, and her eyes were filled with horror when she saw my father lying on the ground, he was very pale and cold, he looked dead.- Pedro! Pedro! —he exclaimed, putting his hands to his face—. What happened to you? Please answer me.He looked at me, searching for an explanation, but I was too scared. How would I tell
Forbidden husband An unexpected visit

That would have been crazy, besides, she had always shown herself to be a good daughter, selfless and with a lot of love for my parents despite not being their biological daughter; and the fact of being there in my father's office rummaging through his things would make her look very bad in front of the whole family.But just then, the doorbell rang, which he took as an excuse to avoid Nelson's questions.— They're knocking on the door, I'm going to see who it is.Nelson grabbed her tightly by the arm before she could leave the office and immediately said:- Wait! Dear little-in-law, let the maid take charge of the door, what I want to know is what you are looking for so eagerly in your father's office.April let go violently as she looked him in the eyes saying:—That's none of your business Nelson, take better care of your things.
