April trembled, but not because of the cold of the night, but because of the courage that burned in her chest. Everything he had experienced, the secrets he had jealously guarded, now crumbled before Rubén's reappearance. The man who had dragged her into a world of intrigue and danger, and who now threatened to take her out of her comfort zone.She looked around, making sure no one was spying on her. He couldn't allow his dark past to be discovered. Rubén's voice sounded on the other end of the phone, full of malice:—What is it that I haven't found out about? Finish talking once and for all, Rubén."Calm down, dear," he replied. You don't have to be like this. Remember that we have been partners and lovers for a long time, and it is not convenient for you to have me as an enemy.— If you don't tell me why you called, I swear I will hang up on you and change my cell phone number so you can leave me alone.— Hahaha, that won't be necessary, dear. I'm in Mexico now. I am part of the med
The Secret in my Father's LetterWithout a doubt, that day had been a true whirlwind of emotions. I was facing a man I thought I knew, but who in reality had always been a wolf in sheep's clothing. His charming personality had fooled us all, especially my father.Nelson left the room, making it clear to me that he was willing for me to be his wife at any price. His interest was not so much in my fortune as in my fulfilling the role of wife. For him, this had become an obsession. I couldn't accept that I had been unfaithful to him, although throughout our engagement, I never wanted to give myself to him.It was clear to me that Nelson never loved me. His wounded and macho pride drove him to love me, but also to take complete revenge on Luis José.After Nelson left the room, I sat on the bed and started crying. I had held back my tears for a long time so as not to show weakness in front of my mother, who was already suffering enough from my father's absence.Suddenly, my hand landed on
I felt nervous and with a knot in my stomach imagining my meeting with Luis José. This time it would be different: I was willing to fight for his love and, above all, to ensure that my son grew up with his real father.Once at the clinic, I went to Luis José's office. He couldn't imagine the surprise I had prepared for him. Without announcing my presence, I opened the door and gasped as I found the worst scene my eyes could see. Luis José and my sister Abril were involved in a forbidden passion on the desk. The world fell apart around me, destroying all the hopes I had once again placed on saving this relationship.Luis José, full of shame, was the first to react when he saw me:—Holy shit, Ana Paula! This shouldn't have happened.April looked at me cynically, her expression denoting mockery and satisfaction. At that moment I understood that I was the one left out in that equation.Heartbroken and all my hopes shattered, I decided to leave in a hurry. My son and I had no place in Luis
I entered the house with the keys that the lawyer had given me, but I did not expect the shock that was going to get me. When I entered the main room, what I found was tremendous, especially because I did not expect to have to see with the naked eye the hidden charms of the plastic artist. He, for his part, was as surprised as I was. Without being able to do anything else in view of the embarrassing and unexpected situation, he only managed to cover with his hands what looked quite prominent in size and which had also made a great impression on me.—Weren't you taught to knock on the door before entering, Miss What's Your Name?— Well… I… uh… actually you are to blame, because you should have closed the bedroom door. Furthermore, I know that Mr. Barradas told him that I was coming and for that reason he gave me the keys to the house. The one who should have been ready to receive me was you. And cover up because you're going to get a cold.—I think you're the one who has to leave the r
It was a moment of great tension and uncertainty for everyone, but especially for Nelson. After her blackmailing, I didn't expect that I would finally dare to ask her for a divorce. I was tired of sacrificing everything for others while I was living a true hell.Nelson, sure that he could manipulate me because of the weakness he felt for my family, crumpled the document and threw it on the floor. He looked at Barradas full of anger and helplessness.—Can you know what this means? —he asked, while the others were intrigued by the situation.Barradas responded bluntly:—The document is very clear, Mr. Nelson. My client, Mrs. Ana Paula, is requesting the annulment of the marriage.The news took everyone by surprise, especially Luis José, who couldn't believe that I had made such a radical and unexpected decision. Meanwhile, my sister lost the smile from her face. Divorce was a stab in the back that could ruin her plans, and her biggest fear was losing Luis José.Nelson was on the verge o
— Tell me Barradas, did Pedro find out that Ana Paula is actually your daughter?— No, he never mentioned anything to me, and I think that if he suspected that Ana Paula was not his daughter, he would not have left her all his fortune. But what I can assure you is that I suspected that you had a lover. And I, the truth is, I felt like a miserable person hiding from him that that man was me.- My God! But why didn't he tell me anything? It cannot be that in all that time he has remained silent, to the point of not telling me about his illness. I feel like a monster. My daughter will never forgive me.My parents' marriage had been arranged by each of their families, they were not completely in love, however, as they had pressure from their parents, they had no choice but to agree to get married.My paternal grandparents wanted a grandson who would be the heir to their entire fortune, but as time went by my mother did not become pregnant, then April came into their lives, who was the dau
And while I, in all this time I had connected with the beauty of Cancun. The white sand beaches and turquoise water enveloped me in a calm that I had not experienced before. Sometimes I walked alone along the shore, feeling the sea breeze caress my face and thinking about everything I had left behind.Despite the distance, he continued writing. My thoughts and emotions flowed into words, and every day I felt closer to understanding my own story. The baby grew inside me, and with it, so did my determination to face the truth.Barradas continued to be my confidant. Through his messages, he kept me up to date with events in Mexico. My mother, struggling with her pain and regrets, Abril taking advantage of my generosity without knowing that I was the other woman, Luis José trapped in an unhappy marriage and Nelson, stripped of everything he had.Sometimes I wondered if I had done the right thing by running away. Was it fair that I was here, protected by Barradas, while others suffered the
Guillermo woke up startled by the call. When he hung up, he looked at me with concern and asked:- What happen dear? Why did Barradas call you at this hour?- It's about my mother. Things are not good with her, and I must return to Mexico urgently.— Return to your house? —Guillermo paled—. You know what that means for you, facing that past you wanted to escape from.—Yes, I must return. My mother is admitted to the clinic for an alcohol overdose.- Very sorry. I didn't know your mother had a drinking problem.- I did not know it either. Now I find out. I feel like part of this is a consequence of my pregnancy and her remorse for cheating on Dad with a lover.— Did you already know about the relationship between Barradas and your mother?His words shook me. I felt like my heart was spinning on a roller coaster, while little Frida jumped inside me. I wanted to believe that I had misunderstood, so I asked him anxiously:—What relationship are you referring to?Guillermo looked scared. H
