20. SOLO REFLECTIONS
Last Updated:
2024-12-05 16:00:01I 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..."

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

I am determined, I won't let anyone see me for now, I'll stay hidden here. I'll interrupt everything, I have to think carefully about what I'm going to do with my life from now on, I'll see if I can get my grandparents to follow me, I don't want to leave them alone. They are my true family!If dad ever decides to follow me, I'll receive him, but I won't let them convince me of anything else again. I won't work in his company, I'll study what I really like, I'm very sorry. What if what Luis said is true and mom is planning to marry me off to another guy for money? No! 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. I called the institute, saying that due to personal problems, I won't be able to attend anymore. I have to think about what to do with my life from now on.

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.

Santiago looked at him with satisfaction. His best friend had resigned from his position at his parents' request to help uncover Eva's misdeeds, and he had succeeded. His best friend had helped him become who he always was. Affectionately, he told him he would make him vice-president of his companies, as he wanted to continue working in his father's, and couldn't remain divided between the two."You don't have to do that, Santiago. I'll continue to help you in any way I can," Adrian said, grateful and amazed."It's time for you to return to your position and practise the career you studied for, Adrian," Santiago said with a smile. "Now, focus on finding Eva, or that Nestor along with Oswaldo. Blast, I'd forgotten! Do you remember where Luis's mother's parents' house is? Go there immediately to fetch the lady, and take her to our house or bring her here to be with her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson. I'm sure her husband will do everything possible to find her and make h

Santiago couldn't stop gazing adoringly at Susan, who was sleeping peacefully in the bed. He was overjoyed that she had been able to donate her liver to his daughter, for whom he had shed so many tears. Santiago left her side for a moment when he saw a man entering the room alongside his friend and assistant, Adrian."What do you mean she's disappeared? Who could have paid such an enormous bail?" Santiago asked furiously upon hearing the news."You won't believe this, Santiago, but it was that Nestor chap, the son of the sultan who bought Adele and wanted Christie, Christian Thompson's sister," his friend and assistant Adrian told him."What does he want with Eva?" Santiago asked, both intrigued and worried.Adrian shook his head, saying they had no idea. He explained that Nestor had shown up at the police station with a judge's order to release her on bail, along with Oswaldo Ibáñez. They had paid the astronomical sum requested for her release and

Dr David, upon finding Adele, immediately took out his phone and informed his wife of what was happening. It appeared to be true that someone had paid to have her moved, and they were planning to take her away despite her being intubated and connected to various machines. It was clear they were preparing to remove her. He waited patiently until she was left alone for a moment, then quickly moved her into the lift, pretending he was taking her for a test on the ground floor."Christie, it's her," he called to his wife, who came with Adele's mother. "They were going to take her away. Do you have somewhere to take her, madam?""Yes, yes, let's take the lift to the roof," Adele's mother requested, stroking her daughter's forehead. "There's a helicopter waiting for me up there.""That must be why they haven't taken her yet," said Christie, helping to push the trolley towards the lift. "They're waiting for yours to leave so the other one can land."They immediately did

Susan fell silent for a moment at Santiago's question, as he watched her, still incredulous that he had finally found her."I don't know, Santiago. I was terrified when I found out," she began softly. "Eva also frightened me a great deal. I was foolish. I should have told you. We were young, but you had said you would marry me, even without knowing I was pregnant. Forgive me for not trusting you!""We were all fools," Santiago hastened to say. "I was, for not noticing how much our daughter resembled you from an early age. For not running to find you. I should have followed you, asked for explanations about why you left me with just a message.""That doesn't matter now. What's important is that our daughter is alive. I have a daughter, Santiago, with you!" she said, smiling happily."Yes, Susi, we have a beautiful daughter," Santiago replied with a happy smile and added, "We also have two grandchildren: Lucas and Lucía. They're twins.""I have two gran

"Yes, twins, Lucas and Lucia. They're in hospital too; we don't know anything about them yet. But I'm certain your daughter won't forgive you if you hide this from her, let alone if she could save her only daughter and you don't tell her. She'll hate you for life.""Good Lord, Sardino, you should have told me this when we spoke earlier so I could prepare her gradually! How do you think she'll react when she learns her daughter is alive?""She'll be overjoyed, you'll see.""You're right. She believes she's dead; she puts flowers on her grave every day. God, how terrible, how terrible! Wait here, I'll call my daughter! But don't pressure her! We'll do whatever she decides!""Thank you, Samuel, thank you so much!"They fell silent, watching as Samuel left the office cursing Eva. After a few minutes, a beautiful Susan entered. Despite being forty-two years old, her beauty was incomparable-her smile, her eyes, her hair. Everything was like Bella's, and to everyon

They advanced into the mansion, observing their surroundings where time seemed to have stood still. Nothing had changed since their last visit many years ago. They sat nervously where the maid directed them."Son, calm down," Mr Sardino urged Santiago, who was fidgeting incessantly. "Everything will be fine. You weren't to blame for anything!""Don't say that, Dad!" Santiago protested. "I should have realised sooner! Bella is her spitting image! Why didn't we notice when she was a child? Besides, it's been so many years. Do you think she'll remember me?"They were interrupted by the smiling entrance of Mr Rivera, who approached them, shaking hands and embracing them enthusiastically. Although they had grown apart after what happened with their children, they had always been great friends and still maintained many business interests in common."Good afternoon, Santiago. Are you alright?" Mr Rivera asked, noticing his nervous movements. "What brings about thi

As they arrive, they see everyone still waiting for news about the children. They turn upon hearing them, while Christie goes and embraces her brother, covering him with kisses, crying."What is it, Chris?" Christian asks, pulling away."It's Bella.""What's wrong with Bella?" Santiago and the grandfather ask simultaneously."We've just run into the doctor treating her. He was looking for you to tell you that they need to fetch Bella's mother. None of the others are compatible with her, and the only hope left is that her mother might be, as she has the same blood type.""As soon as we know about the children, we'll go for her," Grandfather Sardino says."No, it has to be now," Mr Thompson replies very seriously."Why?" Santiago asks."Because if they don't perform the transplant immediately, the doctor doesn't think she'll survive.""Oh God, don't tell me that, don't tell me that! My Bella can't die before I ask for her forgiveness

At that moment, they see Doctor David, who was inside the operating theatre where the adults were, running towards them."Christian, you need to come urgently," he requests with urgency."Has something happened to Bella?" Christian asks, standing up frightened."No, it's not about Bella," Doctor David assures him."Then who? I don't want to move from here, from beside my children," he says, sitting back down."Néstor is out there, demanding they give him Adele, and I thought you could say you're her fiancé and prevent it. She's really in a critical condition, she has two gunshot wounds to the torso and has lost a lot of blood, just like Luis. The worst of all is the other woman.""Vivian?" Christie asks intrigued."Yes, she'd already been shot once and they gave her two more," David replies. "She's in a very bad way, I don't know if she'll make it. But come on.""Vivian must have prevented Eva from killing the children," says the

Néstor Guzmán was furious. Since she escape, he hadn't been able to find where Adele had gone. Initially, he'd stopped looking for her when he found Christie Thompson, thinking she'd make a better wife for him and that it would be easy to acquire her, as he was accustomed to doing. But due to his actions in their company, he found himself in serious trouble with the government, caused by Mr Thompson.He realised that Thompson was indeed very powerful and could cause him significant harm. So when he learned on television that Christie had married her boyfriend, Dr David, he cursed angrily and resumed his search for Adele, intending to leave, as his father was pressuring him to return due to the mess he'd caused with the Thompson family."Sir, we're not sure if it's true," said one of his men, entering his office. "But one of our lads says he saw Adele with a chap called Luis Ibáñez. They were in a car heading out of the city. He followed th
