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

He had to think of something not to go with his wife to Luis' house. However, it was not necessary, she felt really weak to the point that the doctor wanted to admit her."No, no, doctor, I promise I won't move from the bed, and I'll have a nurse by my side the whole time," she communicated through signs, which Mr. Sardino translated for the others."Mr. Sardino, please ensure she doesn't get out of bed. The dizziness might cause her to fall and have an accident. If you need anything else, don't hesitate to call me or come immediately," the doctor advised."Don't worry, she will follow everything to the letter," he assured her, while she nodded. "We'll bring the nurse in now.""Very well, but if there's any sign of trouble, they should come here immediately," said the doctor, really concerned about
