There were several hours of flight in which Edan felt that he was wasting his time, he was anxious, he wanted and needed to get Alma out of prison as soon as possible and every minute, he counted.Diego had given him Ricardo's last verified location a few days ago, and Edan hoped to find him there as soon as he could get there. Upon arriving at the airport, Edan rented a car to drive for another hour to the house where Ricardo was supposed to be.The villa that Edan found was majestic, a secluded and exclusive corner that stood out, even more, for the enormous house that stood out on top of a hill.His hands trembled with helplessness, that wretch had gone away and left his whole family to give them up as rich.Eagerly, Edan kept knocking on the door several times, but no one would come out. However, he would not give up, Edan was not there to return empty-handed, and very stealthily, he began to surround the house, looking for another entrance or a half-open window through which to s

Edan arrived at the airport and Diego was already waiting for him with several policemen, who would be in charge of taking Ricardo to prison.It was only ten minutes, in which Edan felt triumphant, seeing with his own eyes how they handcuffed Ricardo, read him the rights and the charges for which he would be accused.In addition to handing over the real culprit, Edan gave the officers a couple of videos, the first, in which Ricardo confessed, and the second, in which Rebeca, the woman with whom he lived, verified the confession made by Ricardo, as a witness.But it was only ten minutes, in which Edan felt complete relief, in which he wanted to run to the detachment to personally tell Alma that he would soon be free and when he saw her come out, he hugged her as he had not done before... And just ten minutes later, Edan felt stunned, at Diego's words."Alma is out of prison. He warned her as soon as the police officers left.“What? But how?"They gave him bail and he paid it."Did you

Angelica snorted. "I told you; I didn't like that guy and my instinct doesn't fail!" He's not a good man!"Poor Alma, how could she do something like that, her own father, that little girl, has been through so much..." Erick commented."And Vivian!" As soon as h

They had been hard days for Alma, saying goodbye to her father and facing that she would never see Edan again, she had been destroyed, but for her, there was no time to suffer, no rest, especially when she had her entire family practically on top of her.Now that Alma's entire family lived in Mateo's small apartment, she wasn't about to show her sorrow in front of her family, so the only time she took to cry was when she showered, where the tears were rinsed away by mixing with the water in the shower.And even though Mateo's apartment was small and they were a bit cramped, Mateo always made sure that everyone felt comfortable, at home, being very attentive to their every need.There was only something uncomfortable in the atmosphere, and that was that it seemed that every day that passed, Mateo tried to get closer and closer to Alma, and not with the intention of friendship, because he was more and more cloying and insinuating, and although she was very grateful to him, that situatio

They reached the top floor, a young secretary made them wait for a long time, but in the end, she allowed them to pass. A middle-aged man with very masculine features and dressed in an elegant suit was waiting for them behind a desk."Good afternoon, sir. Charlotte greeted as soon as she opened the door.“Carlota? Is there a problem? The man asked, looking at Alma strangely.“No, sir... It's just, she's Alma. Charlotte pointed to her. "Alma, this is Mr. Rafael Montalvo, the manager of the company. Alma approached, a little nervously, shaking the hand of the man who looked so stern."You liked it very much, Mr. Montalvo.“Nice to meet you. He answered.

“Edan? Vivian exhaled, feeling a leap in her heart. "I... Your brother came... And I... I received him, I thought you weren't here, I accompanied him for a while... And—" Vivian stammered in a desperate attempt, kicking like a drowning man."Don't bother explaining to me, Vivian, I noticed that you received my brother very well..." Edan said, taking a sip from his cup of tea, and then placing it on the coffee table.“What? You don't understand, honey, I—" She intoned pleadingly, being interrupted by Edan, who couldn't stand her impudence. How could she call it darling after what she had just done?"That's enough, Vivian! Edan got up, tired of doing so much stupidity. "How much more do you want to see my idiot face?!" I KNOW ALL ABOUT IT! HOW DO I HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT TO YOU SO THAT YOU UNDERSTAND IT? He shouted at the top of his lungs, leaving Vivian static."You don't have to talk to me like that..." Edan, I didn't want to..." Vivian refuted, indignantly, feeling her eyes burn."What d

Things had gotten a little out of hand, Mateo was very angry and just couldn't give in. How come Alma didn't see it? That a simple intern is given a management position with a house and car included? That could only be Edan's doing.A heated argument ensued between the two of them, Matthew had hopes, high hopes that Alma would finally forget about this man and accept him, but the more reasons Matthew gave Alma to turn down that management position, the more and more convinced she should accept it.Wasn't that Edan going to give up after what Luz had told him? Did he want to continue manipulating Alma as he pleased, using his money and power? Matthew wasn't about to allow it."I'm sorry, Mateo, I'm very grateful to you for everything you've done, but now that the company provides me with a place for me and my family, it's best for us to move, I don't want to cause you any more trouble." Alma said very seriously, wanting to let him know that this was her last word."Have I ever complain

Mateo puffed out his chest, feeling like a hero, anxiously waiting for the moment when Alma would react and see how he slapped Edan and then ran into his arms, however, that was not exactly what happened.“Edan? I have to hear it from you... Is that true? She asked, in a whisper, approaching him.“I... I... Yes. Edan looked down. "I bought the company, I invested something in it and, well..."What about my new job?" It was you too, wasn't it? Alma pursed her lips, feeling helplessness fill her."I wanted to see you well, comfortable, happy..." He murmured in a pleading tone, looking into her eyes and taking her hands."Do you look good?" It will be to see you where he wanted, far from my home. Mateo growled a few steps away from them."You, shut up! You! You don't want to pretend that you're doing this for her because you're not! You do it for yourself! To win their affection, just for that! — Edan shouted at Mateo."Just like you..." He refuted this.Alma took a step back, listening
