—Hello, who is this please?My heart was beating a thousand miles per hour while I waited to find out who was calling at that hour of the morning. Of course we were waiting for the kidnappers to call to set the day and place where we were going to deliver the money to ransom our daughter.But suddenly I saw an expression of astonishment and happiness on Luis José's face, which immediately made me feel anxious to know what was happening.—Thanks detective! We will leave immediately there.—What's up Luis José? Who was? Is this news about our daughter?Luis José looked at me while tears ran down his face but it was an expression of happiness that was more than evident, he immediately smiled as he told me, crying but with joy:—Ana Paula my love, our daughter appeared! She is safe and sound and they have her at the police station.—That? Is seriously? But how and when? We have to go immediately! My God, what happiness! I can't believe it, I'm finally going to be able to hug my daugh
Days after…Two weeks had passed since we had recovered our little daughter, during those days Luis José and I had been very busy looking for a comfortable apartment where we could live until Lola had her legal documents and could return to Mexico.The apartment we rented was very cozy since it was located in Manhattan and the view was impressive, you could see the entire city. My little and beautiful daughter was already getting used to me little by little, I taught her to call me “mom” every day I learned a little more about her with the help of Luis José and also Lola who taught me everything she liked and that she had been taking care of her since Ana Beatriz was just a baby.We were very happy living as a family even though Luis José and I were still married to our ex-partners.However, that morning we had an unexpected visitor who brought us great happiness, it was Barradas, although it was still very difficult for me to be close to him even though I had asked him for help as a
The truth is that Luis José had completely surprised me, I never imagined that something like this could happen so soon, much less that he had kept the engagement ring for so long without telling me anything.Little Beatriz who was in her grandfather's arms smiled and clapped her little hands as if she knew what was happening, without a doubt it was one of the happiest moments I had experienced after the birth of my daughter.I leaned towards him and gave him my hand while I said excitedly:—Yes honey, of course I agree to marry you.Luis José placed the ring on me and then kissed me tenderly on the lips. Barradas and Lola screamed with happiness as they congratulated us full of joy.—Well we have to toast this special moment. - said Luis José while Lola immediately exclaimed:—I go get the glasses and a bottle of champagne.It was a really tender moment, I couldn't stop kissing and hugging Luis José, I felt like I had finally fulfilled my dream.—Thank you my love for this beauti
Rubén fell to the floor bloody while clutching his neck tightly, he looked with a horrified expression at April as she vanished on the floor. He couldn't speak, he just kept his hand pressing on the wound trying to prevent bleeding but however, there was nothing to do, the wound was so deep that it had cut the aorta vein.It was unfortunate that a man like Rubén with a brilliant profession such as medicine, let himself be carried away by the vice of gambling and alcohol. In the end his days ended in the hands of the person he had extorted so much from, taking advantage of his weakness and dementia.April was terrified after realizing the crime she had committed, she still had the piece of bottle in her hand and when she looked at it and saw her bloody hand she had a kind of panic attack and threw the glass to the floor.She approached Rubén with fear and touched him, she wanted to be sure that he was dead, when she realized that he no longer had a pulse, she began to walk from one sid
April was wandering that night through the streets of one of the most dangerous areas of New York, walking aimlessly, and trying to take refuge from the cold she ended up sleeping near a garbage dump surrounded by homeless people who gave her the little they had to eat.There were posters with her photo and Rubén's photo all over the city where they were wanted by the police. One of the homeless people who was near her recognized her when he saw the photo that was stuck on one of the old walls in that suburb. and immediately he pointed to her saying:—The one in the photo is you, they are looking for you for kidnapping and murder.She, trembling not only because of her nervous state but also because of the cold of the night and how little shelter she was in, responded angrily:—That is not true! I'm not a murderer, that's all a lie.—If it weren't true you wouldn't be on that poster marked as a criminal, you must be worth a few dollars, if I go to the police and tell them where the
A week later…—What do you think about love? Isn't the view beautiful from here? You can see the entire ocean.—Yes it's pretty. - Luis José responded, a little crestfallen and discouraged. I still couldn't get over the fact that we were at my father's house in Cancun.—Love, please get rid of that face, I don't like that you are so depressed like this, understand that the most important thing here is that we are together and that very soon we are going to get married.—My love, I am happy that we are together, but the thing is that I don't feel comfortable living in this house. Look around you, everything is occupied with Guillermo's paintings, even his personal things are still in the room. How can I be calm living in a house where I feel like a complete intruder?—I understand how you feel, but this is only temporary, until we can buy our own house, understand that we did this only as a preventive way to stay away from April.—You're right my love, I'm a fool. It's just that
Luis José and I had begun to organize the entire house and collect Guillermo's belongings, which to tell the truth were quite a few, since he had lived in that house for many years before meeting me. To avoid a major conflict, I was in charge of collecting his personal things that were still in our room, and Luis José went to what was his studio where he had all the painting materials and paintings that he had already finished and that at some point he thought exhibit in an art gallery.Everything was going smoothly, we had decided to get married at the nearest civil registry and then have a small celebration at home but of course without guests, since in Cancun we did not have anyone we knew and we also did not want the news to spread due to security measures. security, since the idea was that April would not find out where we were.He was placing all of Guillermo's painting materials in a box, but it caught his attention that there was a painting with quite large measurements that w
Luis José had made a final decision regarding our relationship, I waited attentively for him to tell me what he was going to do from now on given that I doubted his paternity with the child he was expecting.—Ana Paula...I think the best decision is for me to go to Mexico City, it makes no sense to stay living here with you in the midst of all this uncertainty that surrounds us both.I took a deep breath when I heard his words, it was inevitable not to start crying, however I did not allow him to see me do it and I immediately dried my tears without him being able to notice, I turned around and looked at him haughtily and very sure of what he was going to do. Tell her, although inside I was dying of pain, I felt like something was slowly burning me, but I had to be strong because I had someone to fight for and that was my daughter Ana Beatriz.—Yes, I completely understand your decision and respect it. I am not going to keep you by force at my side when you doubt that this child is
