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
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
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
