My father saw us both totally amazed and looked very affected since the news had had a strong impact on him.He frowned and approached both of them while saying:—It is very unfortunate that after so many trials they have gone through, things end this way. And Luis José especially surprises me about you, because you said you loved my daughter more than anyone in the world and now you make this radical decision without thinking about all the pain she has gone through. And you're also not thinking about my granddaughter Ana Beatriz.In any case, Luis José knew that deep down he was acting wrong, however, his jealousy was so great that it did not let him realize that after all he might end up regretting it.—Barradas... I... I feel very bad about all this, but I cannot accept the thought of the mere idea that this son is Guillermo's. I love Ana Paula with all my soul...but the painting with her naked and on top of that not knowing if that child is Guillermo's or mine, is more than I ca
Patricia had taken Guillermo to her luxurious Manhattan apartment.—Well we have arrived, you can make yourself comfortable and feel at home.—Thank you Patricia, the truth is that your apartment is beautiful and has an unbeatable view, here you can see the entire city. It is definitely a very inspiring place.—Like for a famous painter like you?—Hahaha well I don't consider myself that famous.—Don't be modest, you know perfectly well that you are a highly sought-after painter, especially in Europe.—Yes, however, after being in prison I think my reputation has completely gone down.—Don't say that, I'm sure that very soon all this will be just a bad memory and you will return to your life as before.Guillermo walked in the enormous room while admiring the beautiful decoration, but without a doubt what impressed him most was seeing the enormous painting painted by him, which Patricia's father had acquired in an exhibition he had held many years ago in Paris. .—So it is true
Days after…After many days of pain and suffering when I saw that my relationship with Luis José had been a true failure, I decided to return to Mexico City with my daughter and in the company of my faithful Lola, who despite being a young girl was very mature. and it helped me a lot during those difficult times.My father had managed to buy the luxurious apartment as he had promised me, he made sure that I would lack nothing by the time I was going to carry out the move.Lola and I already had everything ready to take the trip to Mexico City from Cancun. That day my father brought me the keys to the apartment and I was greatly surprised, since I was not expecting what he was about to tell me.—Well daughter, you are finally going to move into your new apartment, everything is ready as soon as you settle in. Here you have the keys and I also want to give you this.It was an envelope that had a document stored in it. Of course I didn't know what it was about so I immediately opened it
—Dad, the apartment is great! It is beautiful, and above all I love that it has this panoramic view because I can appreciate the entire city. Reminds me of the New York apartment.—I'm glad you like it daughter, you're going to be comfortable and very safe here. I just hope that you manage to find the peace of mind that you so need after this new blow that life has given you.— Of course! Furthermore, I feel that we women do not need a man to raise our children or to be happy. I feel good the way I am and both my daughter Ana Beatriz and this baby that I carry in my womb are the most important pillars to move forward without the shadow of any man.—Well said! I am very proud of you Ana Paula.Despite everything, I felt very calm and happy, from that moment on I could take control of the reins of my life and do things my way, despite the emptiness I felt inside my heart due to Luis's absence. José.(…)While this was happening in the new apartment, Guillermo had decided to travel d
At the time of Guillermo's accident, I was opening the moving boxes, and suddenly I heard a very loud sound that caught my attention. I immediately looked out from my balcony to find out where it was coming from, and I just looked at the street and I realized the serious accident that had occurred in front of the building, however, at that distance it was impossible to realize that it was Guillermo.—My God, how horrible!—What is happening, Mrs. Ana Paula?—An accident happened in front of the building, I think someone was run over.—Can I go down and find out who it is?—No Lola, it's better that you stay here, from what I see it's something very serious and I really don't want you to go see something that could make a big impression on you. Poor person whoever he is, I hope he manages to save himself.(…)And indeed that was what Luis José and the other doctor who accompanied him in the operation were trying to do, trying to save his life.Luis José was sweating buckets while
I was still trying to assimilate Guillermo's accident, however, I still did not understand how Luis José had found my whereabouts.—How do you feel Ana Paula?—How do you want me to feel? All this has taken me out of control. Even though Guillermo behaved like a scoundrel, I do not wish for his death. That never!—We did everything possible to save him, because even though he does not deserve to be alive, it is my obligation as a doctor to save his life.— I appreciate that you have put aside your hatred towards him to be able to save him, that speaks very well of you. But there is still something I can't understand. How did you find my whereabouts? How did you know I was here?—In Guillemo's belongings, there was this property title that is in your name, and I imagined that he and you had bought this apartment to live together again.—But how do you come up with such absurdity? Now I understand everything, no wonder you came with those attitudes demanding something from me that I had
Luis José was astonished to see the audacity on Patricia's part to ask him for what for him was a total lack of respect and consideration after all the damage that Guillermo had caused.—Please Dr. Luis José, try to calm down, I understand that you do not like what I am asking of you, because I want to confess that it is also very difficult for me to accept it because I am deeply in love with Guillermo.—Well, far from congratulating you, the only thing I can say is that I regret that you have set your eyes on a totally deranged and sick person, who all he has done is torment all of our lives.—I know perfectly everything that happened, because before getting him out of prison, Guillermo had to tell me the truth about everything that had happened. And I know that what he did was not right, but deep down I recognize that he is a good man and that he only fell in love with Ana Paula.— Fell in love? No! I want to tell him that that is not love, what Guillermo has for my wife is a ha
I still couldn't get over my astonishment when I saw that my father and Patricia knew each other.—So you're not going to tell me where you know each other from?—Of course daughter! Patricia was my student and we also worked together on several cases here in Mexico. But I'm surprised to see you here, how do you know my daughter?—Dad, Patricia was the one who freed Guillermo.My father stood with his eyes open and with an expression that had definitely left him very impressed. The least he expected was that his pupil was going to end up releasing the man who had practically destroyed my life.—How is Dr. Barradas? I'm sorry I found you in these circumstances, but what Ana Paula says is true, I was Guillermo's defense lawyer.—The truth is that I am surprised that a young woman as brilliant as you has decided to defend a criminal like Guillermo.—Above all, I am a professional, Dr. Barradas, and you yourself instilled this in me when I was studying at law school. And I remember
Days after….The transplant had been a success, little Marijose was out of danger and had already been discharged. During that time Ana Paula had decided to move out of Leonardo's hotel and bought a property very close to the beach since she had decided to give herself a new opportunity with Luis José.For her part, Marisol, after being detained, was subjected to psychological examinations where they determined that she suffered from a mental disorder that should be treated under strict medical supervision, so she was transferred to a psychiatric clinic where she had to stay for a period of time. completely indefinite time.He automatically lost custody of his daughter, so Luis José, after undergoing the DNA test which confirmed that he was indeed the biological father, the judge granted him full custody.But since he was willing to return to Ana Paula's side, he asked her to accept being Marijose's adoptive mother, which made her very happy since a very special connection had been bo
Luis José had no choice but to go to Ana Paula and tell her everything that was happening. He was desperate because his daughter's life was at stake and apparently Marisol cared more about her relationship than her own life. daughter.He entered Ana Paula's office without warning. Seeing him so upset, she immediately became nervous, imagining that something bad had happened to the little girl.—But what's wrong with you Luis José? Why do you come into my office like that? Did something happen to your daughter?—I'm desperate, I don't know what to do Ana Paula, please help me.—But please tell me what's happening, I just don't understand you, did something happen to the girl?—The thing is that Marisol doesn't want you to be the donor and she doesn't care that our daughter's life is in danger. She is sick with jealousy and there is nothing that makes her react.—That? But did she go crazy? The girl needs an urgent transplant, time is against us.—Yes, but after she found us kissi
—After a thorough evaluation we have come to the conclusion that Mrs. Ana Paula can be the donor.Luis José immediately hugged Ana Paula while tears ran down her face. It was a very special moment for both of them since life had brought them together in a situation that neither of them could even imagine could happen one day.Then when they separated they couldn't help but look into each other's eyes, they couldn't deny that they still felt something very special that made them shudder when they were close. However, the doctor was present and they immediately dissembled while the doctor without wasting time added:—Well, gentlemen, I am going to make all the arrangements so that we can do the transplant as soon as possible.—Thank you doctor, I have no words to thank you for everything you are doing for my daughter.The doctor patted him on the shoulder as he said:—Better thank Mrs. Ana Paula, she is the one who is covering all the expenses of the treatment, and in addition to th
Ana Paula stood in front of her and said, full of courage:—How do you have the nerve to come and ask me for something like that after my marriage was destroyed because of you?— Mrs. Ana Paula, I am sorry that things happened that way; But with all due respect, if Luis José had truly loved her, he would not have been unfaithful to her, neither with me nor with any other woman.- Be quiet! But how insolence of you to tell me that! What do you know about what our relationship was? We had a happy marriage until you came along and got in his face.—But I didn't force it, ma'am! The point is that that has already happened, I understand how you feel, but we can no longer change destiny. Today Luis José is with me and we have a daughter who needs a transplant to continue living. And the only one who can help our daughter live is you. Unless he wants to use my daughter to get revenge.- Be quiet! But how dare you even say something like that? No matter how much damage you have done to me, no
Leonardo, upon seeing Ana Paula enter the hotel with her head down, did not hesitate for a second to ask her:—Ana Paula But what's wrong with you? Why are you so sad? Did something happen to you at the clinic?—Hello Leo, And where are the children?—They are in the movie theater watching a movie. But tell me, what's wrong with you?—Luis José came to see me at the clinic.—What have you said? But why did he come to see you after so long?—Her daughter has leukemia and urgently needs a donor.—My God! But how unfortunate. But what do you have to do with all that?—She has a bad financial situation and I put the clinic in order so that she can provide all the treatment to her daughter.—You definitely have a very big heart, because after everything someone else did to you in your place, I would have turned my back on him, especially when it comes to the daughter he had with his lover.Ana Paula sighed but didn't say anything, she looked visibly affected by what was happening.
Both were eager to know little Marijose's diagnosis; the doctor had a worried expression that made Luis José even more nervous.—Well, after many tests that have been done in record time at the request of Mrs. Ana Paula, we have detected that the girl has leukemia.—My God it can't be, my daughter can't have leukemia.Ana Paula put her hands over her mouth, she was shocked by the news and it made her very sad to see Luis José suffering in such a heartbreaking way.—I don't know what to tell you Luis José, I can't imagine how you feel, the truth is that it causes me a lot of pain to see you like this. But everything has a solution, there must be some way we can find to help the little girl. Isn't that right doctor?—Indeed, as you say, Mrs. Ana Paula, there is an option that could save the girl's life, and Mr. Luis José, as a doctor, should know what I am referring to. The only alternative is to perform a bone marrow transplant as soon as possible.Luis José immediately exclaimed:
When Luis José entered with his little daughter by the hand, he was surprised by how beautiful Ana Paula looked. She wore a tight-fitting skirt with a white silk blouse, which she combined with some very elegant accessories that made her look truly regal like an executive.She wore her long hair loose and that undoubtedly made her look very sensual. While he was simply dressed, although he still had many of his fine clothes from when he was married to her, he could not hide the poor economic situation he had.—Ana Paula! You're really pretty.For her part, she tried to control herself, her heart was beating like a million, she looked at Luis José and at the same time at the little girl, then she tried to hide it so that he wouldn't realize how nervous she was to see him again.—Thank you Luis José, and is that little girl... your daughter?—Yes, this is Marijose.Ana Paula approached and leaned down to greet the little girl, she was really cute.—Hello Marijose, how are you? I am
During all that time Luis José ended up living next to Marisol but never wanted to marry her, they had a beautiful girl whom they called Marijose, the little girl looked a lot like her father, there was no doubt that she was his daughter.He focused on taking care of her and protecting her, it was a consolation for him since he could not see the children he had with Ana Paula as often as he wanted.—But why doesn't Marijose stop crying? - Luis José asked anguished, Marisol had her on her toes but there was no way for her to calm down.—I don't know what to do anymore, he doesn't want to eat. It seems to me that she is very pale and I notice that she is getting weaker every day.—I'm going to take her to the clinic so they can do a complete study, the truth is that I don't really like that paleness she has.—To Ana Paula's clinic?—Yes, there's no way you can pretend that I'm going to take the girl to the fifth-class doctor's office where I work, there isn't even cotton there to c
—As you know, he has a very high debt that he has to pay in a very short period of time. If he does not do so, he would lose the entire clinic and the lawsuit from investors would end up putting him in jail, unless he pays off his debt or declares bankruptcy, which which would result in having to close the clinic immediately.—No! I cannot declare bankruptcy, and I do not want to close my clinic either, it has been years of work and a lot of effort. I practically have my entire life invested here.—So that means that you have the money to be able to pay off the million-dollar debt you have. Isn't that right, Mr. Luis José?He immediately lowered his eyes and remained silent, he knew that he could not pay off a debt as large as that.—From his silence I realize that it is obvious that he does not have that amount of money. Or am I wrong?—No, you are not wrong, because I do not have that sum of money in the bank, but I can get it, it is all a matter of time for the clinic to retur
