Should I phone him and tell him, or should I confide in Grandfather? No, Bella! Keep them out of this. Dad threatened Luis that day; I don't want him to harm Luis, and if Grandfather gets wind of this, he'll surely settle scores with them.
I'd better stay hidden here, out of everyone's sight. The trouble is, I only have the modest sum Mima gave me yesterday. I'll sell my earrings; they must be worth a fortune. Yes, that's what I'll do tomorrow, while staying out of sight. Once these marks fade, I'll seek out my grandfather and ask for his help to divorce Luis. I shan't return to that house again. Degenerate, abuser, contemptible man! I ought to have used the taser Grandfather gave me! At the time, it didn't cross my mind; it should have. I simply couldn't fathom he would attack me in such a

I shake my head to push those memories away, get up and head to the bathroom. I wash myself as best I can, then throw myself on the bed without clothes. I should have come to this place before and fixed it properly. I think as I curl up in bed, at least it's comfortable, I tell myself and close my eyes that still release tears even when I don't want to, and I fall into a deep sleep.The next day, my phone's ring wakes me up, I open my eyes and everything comes rushing back to my memory, bringing me back to reality. My head hurts terribly, as does the blow he gave to my face. With great difficulty, I manage to sit up because of strong dizziness. I stay like that until it passes and very slowly manage to stand up, everything remains in darkness. I move slowly until I find the switch and turn on the light. I have to close my eyes until they adjust.After turning off the persistent alarm on my phone inside my purse, I head to the bathroom. The horrible image

I try to calm him down, I know my grandfather, if he finds out about this he's capable of killing Luis, better to leave him out of everything, I don't want my grandfather to get into trouble because of that imbecile, and much less worry my sick grandmother."Bella..." his voice is full of questions and I'm almost certain he suspects something."Stop drawing your own conclusions, grandfather. I'm just studying for exams, I fell asleep and didn't tell Luis, he must be very worried. That's why he called you," I quickly invent, although I'm very bad at lying."And where did you stay?" He continues his interrogation."Where did I stay? At..., at a friend's house, yes that's it, that's why Luis doesn't know anything." I'm terrible at lying, I should have thought all this through before calling him, and I know he's already figured it out."Bella, if something happened to you..." And he falls silent, I know he's already figured it out, but I don't want to tell

I know I can trust my grandfather, and it touches me that he has been there for me. I'm almost sure he knows if not everything, something. However, I don't want him to get involved in this problem. All I need is to escape, and that money he says I have is an unexpected gift that will help me."Yes, that one, do you see that number inside? That's the code, my child. Don't be afraid, with it you'll never lack anything or need to work," he said, and by the tone of his voice, I knew he was smiling, then he added, "And if that's not enough, you have all my money, Bella.""Oh, grandfather, thank you so much, really," and a sob escapes that I know he must have heard, but he says nothing. I try to hide it by changing the conversation. "Grandfather, does that mean that..., hypothetically speaking, if I want to leave, I can go at any time?""Yes, my child, you can do it! Just let us know where you're going, so we can follow you. Okay? Don't abandon your grandmother and me, it w

This is my chance to be free and I won't waste it.After thinking everything through carefully, I decided not to go back to school. In the end, I don't like the career my parents imposed on me.

My grandfather looked at me with an expression I cannot describe. But I knew he wasn't happy with me, quite the contrary, though he didn't want to make me feel worse."You should have come right away!" He scolded me and added, "Your grandmother will be very upset when she finds out.""Don't tell her grandfather, she's very fragile. I don't want you to get into trouble over this either," I pleaded again, seeing his furious gaze."And what do you intend to do, Bella? We can't leave that degenerate unpunished!" he shouted, snorting furiously."I just need you to help me get divorced. Please?" I begged, taking his hands. "I want to forget about Luis, I want to think he never existed in my life, please grandfather, help me forget all this.""Of course, sweetheart, I'll talk to my lawyer right now! I told you not to marry him! I knew this would happen!" He spoke while taking out his phone and searching for the lawyer's number. "I'll press charges against tha

I watch my grandfather as he roars and says things against my father. Especially against my mother, he's convinced that if my father's problem turns out to be true, it's his wife's fault. Seeing that I don't answer and just look at him, he stops and gives me a strong hug, one of those that makes you feel everything will be alright and that you're not alone."Thank you, grandfather," I tell him while still resting on his chest."Why don't we go abroad?" he suddenly asks and I'm filled with happiness, that would be great. "Some time in another country wouldn't hurt you. You can study whatever you want! In any city you want!""Could it be Paris?" I ask enthusiastically now, if I go with them I wouldn't care where it would be. "I would love to study literature. You know I love reading and writing. I could also teach music, dance and..."I stop when I see how he looks at me with his glassy eyes, he suddenly comes closer and holds me tight, I do the same, rest my

I also don't understand why Mum isn't like other mothers. I cannot recall a single instance in my life where she hugged or kissed me, as I've seen other mothers do when they drop their children off at school. On the rare occasions she did show affection, it was almost always tinged with fury. If she noticed that I hadn't achieved top marks in assessments, she would berate me in front of all my classmates, humiliating me by loudly calling me stupid and hurling other insults, which later led to mockery from my peers. If she didn't want me, why did she have me?Surely now that I think about it, it must have been to follow she's lifestyle, as Luis says. He must have done it to catch that daft dad who, when in his cups, claims that if it weren't for me, his life wouldn't be so wretched. What does he mean by that? He repeats it every time he drinks, and tells Mum as well, that they're together because of me. Mima says he had a lovely girlfriend whom he adored before Mum, and he can't

Rushing to the mirror, I disrobe and can't help but smile at the true reflection of myself. I've never done this before – really scrutinised my body. I'm not hideous; he lied about that. Perhaps it's because he's never seen me in this light. Now that I do see myself, I realise my figure is what one might call statuesque – hee hee hee... All that's left is to find an outfit like those Mother always urged me to wear. That's right; she's always dressed provocatively. Tonight, no one will know who you are, Bella. Let's discover what it feels like to have all eyes on you, desiring you – hee hee hee...How I wish I had a good friend now. Stop dwelling on such melancholy thoughts; all those wealthy women have always scorned you. One day, you'll find someone who loves you for you, not for your name. I gaze into the mirror once more, turning to view my full reflection, and I'm pleased with what I see. My buttocks and breasts are very well proportioned, my w

After saying this, Grandpa leaves towards the garden. Marta moves forward to take all the tests that Isabella still has on her lap, reviews them unable to believe it's all real, then turns to Isabella and says:"Bella, I'm impressed with your life. It's truly a soap opera. I want the rights to write it," she says enthusiastically."Ha, ha, ha... Marta, stop teasing me," Isabella plays along happily, not letting go of Christian's hand.They both laugh with Marta, who keeps insisting she's not joking. She assures them she'll write their story.

"The grandfather takes it, intrigued, as Marta and Tina look on curiously. He opens it and pulls out the paternity tests, which prove that Christian is the father of the children. He looks up, staring at them in disbelief. Marta, seeing his surprised expression, moves her wheelchair forward and snatches the paper from his hands. She reads it and bursts out laughing."I knew it!" she exclaims excitedly. "Lucas looked too much like Chris!""What is it?" Tina asks in sign language."Grandma, Christian is Lucas and Lucia's father! He was the one who spent the night with me at the hotel! He was the one who got me pregnant!" Bella explains."But that's not all, grandfather," Christian adds. "I remembered everything!

After Isabella asks that question, looking at him with a huge expression of despair and at the same time of pain, Christian hurries to answer."No, no Bella, nobody raped you," he says firmly, still looking into Isabella's beautiful and fearful eyes.

Isabella asserts."I couldn't," he affirms as he stands up again, leaving Isabella confused by his words.Christian takes another yellow envelope and returns to the bed where Isabella has sat up, intrigued. He hands her the results of the tests he had done to see if his sperm were viable, and gives them to his wife, who opens her eyes, still unable to believe it."What does this mean?" she asks as if needing to hear it."It means I was the one who got you pregnant, when you came to sleep with me those nights and that afternoon when we made love in the shower," he explains calmly and confi

She still doesn't understand."What does this mean? Did you find the father of my children?" she asks immediately."Yes, I found him!" Christian exclaims, unable to contain his joy in front of Isabella's gaze, who doesn't understand why he's behaving like this."Did you really find the biological father of the twins?" she asks incredulously.
