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
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….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
