34. CONVERSATION WITH THE LAWYER
Last Updated:
2024-12-13 12:00:51Now I understood my father’s threats against Luis the night of the dinner. He was warning him about that. Should I call him and tell him everything that happened? It would be good to have him on my side.
“Mr. Ramiro, do you know why you are here?” I asked first.“Of course, Bella. Your grandfather told me that Luis attacked you and left you like this. Is that true?” he inquired immediately.“Yes, sir, he did,” I replied firmly.“Did he give you all those bruises?” he asked again.“Yes, sir,” I assured him, but I hurried to add, “But I already told my grandfather that I just want a divorce, not to accuse him or anything. I don’t want to get into all the hassle of lawsuits or scandals. You understand me, right?”It was something I needed to make very clear; I wanted to leave all that behind and get away as soon as possible. If there was a trial, it would turn into a specta

I get up, go for my bag, and as I do, I remember all the new marks from my night of madness. What do I do now? I walk slowly to where he is waiting for me patiently.“Mr. Ramiro, there’s… there’s something I need to confess to you before we go to the police,” my face must be red with embarrassment. He looks at me intrigued, telling me to continue. “I have some marks that have nothing to do with Luis.”Without letting him ask, I show him my neck, feeling even more embarrassed and lowering my face as I murmur,“Last night… I drank too much, and that’s what happened. Do you think it could complicate anything?”“No, but just in case, I won’t request an annulment, only a divorce. Is that okay?” He looks for a solution immediately, and I like that.“I don’t care how you manage it; all I want is to separate from Luis,” I reply right away, breathing a sigh of reli

My grandfather wouldn’t stop talking to Mima, nodding at everything she said to me. She couldn’t express herself with words, but she could listen perfectly and make herself understood through signs. She seemed like a little girl and didn’t know how to take care of me on her own. They were really scared to send me on that trip alone. I laughed and hugged both of them at the same time.“Stop worrying; I’ll be fine. It will only be a few days without you; I’ll spend my time at home looking at possible schools to enroll in,” I repeated, seeing that they weren’t calming down.“Okay, we’re going in four days; as soon as I finish my last therapy, we’ll leave,” my grandmother said through signs.“No, Mima, wait until you feel better, and then you can go. Grandpa, don’t let her go feeling unwell; I’ll be fine,” I asked, genuinely worried about her.And that’s how my whole day went, with them behind me, giving me I don’t know how many tasks. I let them because I understood the situation; I had

Now I'm grateful that I came alone initially. My grandparents will meet me, and then we can sort out my divorce. It was our final agreement, and this way, we give Mima time to recover so she can travel without any issues. I leave the bathroom and realize that the room I've entered is supposed to be mine because it's filled with my clothes. I grab a long sleep set and slip it on. I open the curtains but quickly close them again. The brightness of the day intensifies the pain in my head. Returning to the kitchen, I prepare a strong coffee and accompany it with two slices of toast. I eat them in silence, contemplating how rapidly everything has unfolded. A phone rings, and I realize it's my old phone. Apparently, Eugenia thought I had turned it off, so she turned it on and put it on charge. I glance at the number and see that it's my mother. I let out a deep sigh and answer. "Hello " "Until you finally deign to answer! Do you know what you've done? You've gone crazy! You're going to

I hear him laugh, and I realize that my suspicions are true. My grandmother must have given me something in my tea to make me sleep the whole trip. Even though it wasn't necessary due to the tiredness of the night before."Ha, ha, ha, ha..., sure he gave you some. You know her, she's afraid of flying " and it's true, Mima hates airplanes. " Did you rest? " "Yes, yes I did," then looking around I said. " Hey grandpa, this house is just like yours over there, isn't it? " "Did you notice?" he asks immediately. "It was your grandmother's doing, she didn't want to miss her house, I got tired of hearing her complaining that she couldn't find anything and that, if she had everything in its place in this house, I had it made the same way there, and she stopped complaining." Ha, ha, oh Grandfather, what madness. When was that? It seems like it has been empty for years." I continue to talk to him as I scan my surroundings with my eyes."I don't think you were born yet. We used to go there on

Right away he was quick to tell me that he would manage to keep it from us. We would leave Dad outside and if one day he found out and reproached me, I would tell him that he was the one who prevented me from telling him."Okay, darling? I know your father hasn't shown you how much he loves you, but he does. Don't you remember the times you spent here without him? How was he always with you, everywhere? Maybe he distanced himself from you afterwards to prevent that woman's jealousy from mistreating you. I've seen her do it many times," Grandpa explains."You're right about that. I realized that whenever Daddy treated me well or showed affection, she would punish me and lock me in my room for days. Maybe you're right, and that's why Daddy behaves that way with me," I reflect."I don't think you've noticed how he looks at you with love from afar," Grandpa says softly."What are you saying, Grandpa? I have noticed how he looks at me with love. But he always changes his gaze immediately,"

I hung up the phone and decided to get up. As I make my way to the kitchen, I see that it's true. It is fully stocked with everything I need to live for a long time. I put a pot of water on the stove and prepare some spaghetti, which is the only food I know how to make. I can't believe I'm really free. What would my grandfather do to Luis, who agreed to sign the divorce so quickly?It really went faster than I expected. I thought it was going to take at least a month, but Grandpa sure used all his connections. I always heard Mima say that he had an empire of powerful friendships, and he still helps them. I'm glad that's the case. My phone alerts me to an incoming message, and I quickly check it, thinking it's from Mima. Huh? Who is this message from? It just says "take care" and it's from an unknown number. As far as I know, only Grandpa has this number. I'll ask him about it when he comes. For now, let's see what we have to go with the spaghetti I intend to make.I laugh as I open th

In her house, I had a complete closet filled with the most incredible clothes she had bought for me. She hadn't shown me any of them yet. She filled two suitcases for me, and little by little, I began wearing them. She had created a different, beautiful, and confident personality for me. It's hard to explain, but the clothes were modern, sexy, and youthful while still reflecting my own style. My grandmother knew exactly what suited me, and it filled me with happiness to see that even as I modernized my wardrobe, I subtly maintained my preference for more covered clothing.Now, as I walked by, boys would turn their heads to look at me or say hello. They would offer to help me with a gentle kindness. I became convinced that I was beautiful, that I had an enviable body, and that I didn't have to be ashamed of my round, shapely breasts. So, fearlessly, I straightened my back and proudly showed them off.I had no reason to feel miserable. I was young, beautiful, wealthy, and ha

Given the distrust Eva inspired in him, Mr. Sardino had a paternity test performed on the baby and yes. Isabella was Santiago's daughter. Knowing this, he suddenly accepted, convinced by her, to go to a rehabilitation center, and he succeeded, he quit drugs. Although the Santiago who had returned was not her son, he was a very taciturn and silent one. He also accepted that Eva married his son for the safety of their only granddaughter. He could see that she had molded his son into what she wanted him to be. He didn't know if it was out of apathy towards life or if he had fallen in love with her. The fact was that his son Santiago had become a puppet in his wife's hands. He tried to make him react, to bring back his old personality, but it didn't work. His son had closed himself off, and he only saw him smile occasionally when he was with his daughter. He settled for the hope that someday his son would return to his old self or that he would break free from Eva's control and live a m

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.

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!

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
