— 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
I started to feel dizzy; Suddenly, everything began to spin. I felt like I was about to faint, and Luis José was the first to notice it. He immediately approached me, trying to hold me.—What do you have, Ana Paula? You feel bad? -asked.- Do not touch her! —Guillermo exclaimed—. She's my wife, and I can take care of her."But I'm a doctor and I can treat her, something I doubt you can do," Luis José responded.Guillermo looked at him furious. He felt helpless because I couldn't get away from Luis José at that moment. Meanwhile, April did not wait long to inject her poison:—Let her husband be the one to take care of her and let's get out of here."I'm not going to move from here until I'm sure that Ana Paula and my son are okay," Luis José stated.Suddenly, everything went black, and I fell unconscious in Luis José's arms. He exclaimed in anguish:— We have to take her to the emergency room! Soon, bring a wheelchair!A nurse quickly arrived with the wheelchair, and Luis José placed m
"Barradas returned to the waiting room where Abril and Guillermo were. His expression showed concern for my mother's state of health.Guillermo approached quickly and asked:—How is Mrs. Amanda?- Not well. They are trying to detoxify it. According to the studies they did, they discovered that in addition to the liquor he drank, he also consumed another substance that worsened his situation. Furthermore, the doctor says that he seems to not want to live, which is not conducive to his recovery. Unfortunately, he has fallen into a coma.— I'm very sorry for this, Barradas. I know how much you love her.Hearing Guillermo, April looked up and approached him saying:—And why do you have to love my mother? I remind him that he was just an employee of my father. Do not take on powers that do not concern you. Don't be so equal.— Look, April, with all due respect, you don't have to offend me like this. Plus, there are a lot of things you don't know, so it's best not to say something you might
Suddenly, my daughter's crying echoed through the room. To me, it was like a melody, the most beautiful I had ever heard. Luis José, with trembling hands, cut the umbilical cord. The doctor smiled and handed the baby to me."Congratulations!" he exclaimed. —You are the mother of a beautiful girl. She is healthy and beautiful. Well, I congratulate you both.Luis José held our daughter in his arms, his eyes were full of emotion. He kissed her on the forehead and gently laid her on my chest."My love," he whispered, "she is our daughter, the fruit of our love." Look how pretty she is, she looks like you. Ana Paula… I love you. I love them both. From now on, I will not leave his side.At that moment, a wave of feelings washed over me. Seeing that little being, part of me and the love that still existed between Luis José and me, was something magical.I realized that I had not forgotten him, that I was still in love like the first day, I had only run away all that time, trying to escape fr
They had already moved me to the room with my little daughter, despite the physical discomfort resulting from the cesarean section, I felt great emotion, to the point that for a moment I had completely forgotten that Guillermo was going to meet the mother at any moment. small.While I settled in the room and breastfed my little princess, Luis José was next to me, he couldn't believe it that we were now parents, it was a really beautiful moment, it was just the three of us like a true happy family.— Ana Paula, honey, I want to thank you for having given me the joy of being a father, thank you for this beautiful and healthy daughter that we have and that I swear that I will be as impossible as possible so that she grows up in a home where love and happiness reign. peace.— Luis José, I... the truth is that deep down in my being, that is what I want most, but you know perfectly well that now things have changed between us, I am a married woman and you... you are still married to my sist
Guillermo's words echoed in my head like thunder in the night. It was as if a sharp spear had pierced my heart, splitting it in two. An intense cold took over my body, and my legs trembled uncontrollably. I looked at him, with anguish reflected in my eyes:- What have you said? It's not funny that you say something like that to me right now. I should be celebrating the birth of my daughter.Guillermo looked down, trying to avoid mine. His voice barely felt like a whisper:—Ana Paula, I didn't want you to find out this way, but it's true. Your mother passed away a few hours ago.- No! That can not be. My mother can't be dead. Tell me it's a lie, please.— I'm sorry, but it's real. He died of cardiac arrest while you were having a cesarean section.A searing pain gripped my chest.
