“An engagement?” Luciano was totally confused. He turned and looked at Paul. Maybe he was the one grandmother was referring to. “For my brother?”

Grandmother chuckled. She knew what her grandson was doing. “No, I’m talking about you. We have made the arrangements.”

“What arrangements?” he darted back and forth. Luciano did not see his mother around, which meant she was against this idea. They can’t just wake up one morning and decide to get him married to the last person he would want to marry.

After what happened at the church, he did not want to hear the word marriage, “forgive me granny, but I’m not getting married to your favorite. You have many sons, you can choose one of them.”

Grandmother’s brows creased. She did not want to get angry with him after arranging such a beautiful proposal. Getting him married was the only way to get Isabella out if his head: “You are getting married to Dora and that’s final. Or find another woman than Isabella, in three days and present her to me.”

    Manuela entered the bar. It was a bit crowded. The people there did not pay much attention to her because they were so engrossed in each other. She thanked her stars that mama Dora was not in sight as well. She would have the meeting about herself even though she was not invited.Manuela spotted him as soon as she looked down on her right. He sat next to the window and when he saw him, he waved at her.“Good evening,” Paul stood up to welcome her. He asked for a hug and when her hands were wrapped around him, he felt an electric shock. It was a warm hug that was different and special.To him, she had a sweet scent of coconut perfume. He liked women who smelled so nice. Instead of breaking from the hug, Paul buried his face in her neck. Her hair's spray…everything about this woman smelled nice.He broke from the hug when he realized that people were beginning to stare at them. Since the town was not big, news could circulate in an hour and his parents would come to know that he was dea

    Sheila had been trying his number for hours. Paul’s number was not available and as soon as he went through that evening, he rejected her call.Sheila felt like she was been slapped. After many years of not hearing from each other, she expected him to receive her call when he saw it but he didn’t.Pissed and angry, Sheila took her bag back to the boot. She was going to the Reyes mansion if it was the only way she could reach him.Luciano was never close to her, so she did not have his number to call. She and Max needed a place to stay for a night. She had no money left.“Mom, I'm hungry” Max said with tears in his eyes. Sheila rolled her eyes. For a second, she felt like tossing it in the trash can close to the house. How did he expect her to get food for him when she had been singing that they had no money?“You have to wait because I have no money to get us food. But if your father picks his call, we might as well have a place to sleep.”“But I’m hungry,” Max held his stomach. Tears

    The night bar was filled up. It seemed there were visitors from neighboring towns who came to enjoy the evening. Instead of going back home, Manuela found herself entering the bar with Paul Reyes. He held her hand as they walked into the VIP section that was reserved for a few prominent people.“Luciano would have love this night,” Paul whispered into her eyes as they stood next to each other. He loved the fact they were so close to one another. It helped the conversation to make it interesting. “Unfortunately, your friend turned this day into a nightmare for my brother.”“I’m sorry about that,” Manuela apologized. She meant that she wished there was something she could do to help them both. Isabella needed time to fix things. She always does and soon, things will fall in place again.“Do not worry. We already spoke about it,” Paul Reyes said as he stared at her face. Her lips were tempting, yet he had to control himself. It was Manuela and not just some random woman. It had been long

    “What?” the response came very quickly. He was shocked. “Really?”“Yes.”“We still can’t see because…”“Please, Paul…I am with my son, and we have nowhere to sleep…my car has run out of fuel as well.”It took him a while before he accepted to meet up. “Where are you? I am at the night bar.”“Good, I will come and meet you there. We are close by.”“Fine.”“Thank you so…” Sheila paused. He ended the call on her.*****He did not want to leave her in, so he went back inside to get her out. It was a good thing that she wanted to leave as well. Outside, Paul tried his best to sound polite and respectful as he spoke “Do you want to go home?”Manuela was surprised by his question. Was he trying to get rid of her? She had fun today, but sending her away like this, made her believe that there was more to it “are you getting rid of me,?”“No, why would you think of that?' Paul chuckled. He liked the fact that she always spoke when she was not comfortable. It made things easier for them.“It’s

She would stay even if she had to deal with her.When Sheila got out of the car, she began to wonder what Manuela was doing in Santa Marta…and with Paul Reyes of all people? She did not like the fact that God kept tying her fate to Isabella and Manuela.She stood froze. Her eyes did not blink or close as they do whenever in shock. Manuela was coming at her with so much force that she did not see when the blow hit her.

The night bar was the last place he wanted to be gossiped

The air was thick with sorrow, but there was also a quiet reverence, a collective determination to honor Paul in the way he deserved.The ceremony was simple but heartfelt.

    *****The afternoon sun poured softly through the windows as Manuela, Isabella, and Luciano sat around the dining table, their faces marked by a quiet sadness.The house felt different since Paul’s passing, quieter, as if even the walls were mourning his absence.The weight of his death still hung heavy in the air, but today they needed to focus on something else—Paul’s upcoming funeral.“We have to make it special,” Manuela said, her voice barely above a whisper. She had been crying on and off for days, her heart still breaking at the thought of losing Paul so suddenly. “He deserves the best, after everything.”Luciano sat silently for a moment, staring down at his hands. It was still hard for him to think about Paul without feeling a sharp pain in his chest. His cousin had been more than family; he had been a brother, a friend, and a source of strength. “He does,” Luciano finally agreed, his voice thick with emotion. “I want his funeral to reflect how much he meant to all of us.

The doctors had been impressed by his recovery, considering how serious the injuries had been.Now, the hospital room was filled with a sense of relief and anticipation. Isabella and Luciano sat by Juan’s bedside, the weight of everything that had happened slowly lifting, replaced by the joy of seeing their son healthy again.Juan, now more energetic, sat up in bed, swinging his legs back and forth as he played with a toy car Luciano had brought him the day before.His eyes darted between his parents, excitement bubbling beneath the surface. He was finally going home, and for the first time in his young life, he fully understood that Luciano was his father.The bond between them had grown stronger in the days since the truth came out.

    Luciano sat in the dimly lit living room, his mind spinning as he tried to process the news.The revelation that Rodriguez had conspired to kill him, along with Dora, his so-called lover, was beyond anything he could have imagined.Manuela and Isabella sat nearby, equally shaken, as the weight of everything they had just learned hung heavily in the air.The silence between them was thick, filled with disbelief and the echo of unanswered questions.They had never once suspected Rodriguez or Dora of being capable of such malice. Rodriguez, yes—he was a volatile man, full of jealousy and bitterness—but Dora? Sweet, quiet Dora, who had always seemed so devoted to Luciano? It didn’t make sense.“I still can’t believe it,” Manuela whispered, her voice barely audible. “I never liked Rodriguez, but I didn’t think he would go this far.”Luciano’s face was tense, his brow furrowed in deep thought. He had been sitting in the same spot for hours, staring off into space, trying to make sense of eve

    ****The tense silence in the hospital waiting room was shattered when Rodriguez stormed in, his face twisted in anger.Dora trailed behind him, a smug look on her face as she watched the tension rise. He had just heard about the accident, and without bothering to gather all the facts, he immediately set his sights on Isabella."This is all your fault!" Rodriguez bellowed, pointing an accusing finger at her. "How could you be so careless, Isabella? You were supposed to take care of him, and now look what’s happened to my son!"Isabella's heart pounded in her chest as the words hit her. She had been struggling with guilt and worry ever since the accident, but hearing Rodriguez hurl those accusations at her in front of everyone felt like a slap in the face.Luciano, who had been sitting beside her, clenched his fists but said nothing. He knew better than to escalate the situation with Rodriguez, but his silent fury was evident.Isabella stood up, her eyes blazing with a mixture of anger
