Gabriel’s POVI don't know at what point this guy made such a mess in my office, there was such a mess I called Maria to bring me a garbage bag which I kept filling with beer bottles, wine, coffee cans and machine coffee cups. I would have a serious talk with Fabian about his way of living at work. I was all tidied up as much as I could when the door opens and my friend with many files in his arms is pushing open the door to deliver to the office."You came back." A wide smile grew on his face, he dropped what he brings in his hands on the couch I just cleaned and then comes to me to give me an arm. "Sorry Gabriel, I'm just so busy I just drop it over there.""Yeah, so many things you drop over there, I'm already carrying two garbage bags, Fabian, are you living in the office?" I ask him as I finish rearranging the desk."No, just spent a lot of time here." He nods his head like one of those little dogs they put in cars."Then your toothbrush, bath soap and towel aren't yours." He poi

Chapter "It's not like that, Ana." It's Gabriel who is standing at the balcony door. "I'm worried about you two.""I thank you from the bottom of my heart, but I don't need you to worry." I tell him. "I needed you to support me.""Oh, that guy killed them?" she asks. "I'm going to lose my family because you want to play heroin.""Yes, I'm going to play it and I'm going to come back safe and sound.""You're not going to do anything, Ana.""Are you going to do it?" I chuckle a little because he's so sinewy I can't help it, but he doesn't do anything either. "What did you do to get him? What the fuck did you do?" I yell at him, throwing the cup on the floor. "Nothing, you haven't done shit to catch him, he came near me many times, he killed Sonia, and two cops." My voice is cracking and I can't hold back the tears. "I'm not going to be a victim like Sonia, I'm going to end this shit.""Ana..." My brother calls out to me."Ana my ass, I'm tired of living locked up and being second fiddle
Chapter I move away from Gabriel as I can because his grip on me is strong and I leave the kitchen, Lucia is standing looking at the computer screen as soon as she sees me, she pulls the chair away for me to sit down and she takes the other one. The boys were asleep a moment ago, they are awake and sitting in front of two computers typing so fast that it makes me dizzy to see them and Hugo, he is talking on the phone on the couch and from his tone of voice it seems he is talking to his superior.The message on the screen is very clear, apart I can see what the Facebook account that sent me the message is going to disappear just like the other one, because the message is there, but I can't answer, because the fucker blocked me."A car will be waiting tomorrow in front of Plaza Venezuela station, you just stand there at the subway exit and someone will approach you.Ana, I'm glad to know we'll see each other I've missed you so much. much love L."The message ends there, there is nothin
Chapter "Last night, he was fine, how did he get hurt?" my brother asks and I ignore him to go into the kitchen for some ice and cold water which I pour so I can put cold cloths on Gabriel."I don't know." I avoid the question. "Where's Clara?""At school.""Your husband?""Working, Ana, stop avoiding answering." She follows me upstairs and when I enter the bedroom my mother-in-law is undressing Gabriel."Did you have sex?""Karina. I am embarrassed and more so that she would say it that way."Ana, you know how dangerous it is if his wound gets infected." It's the first time I've seen her upset with me. "This is very irresponsible of you, your duty as a wife is to take care of him, not to accept his whim of horniness.""Mother-in-law, I don't know what is happening to him today, but Gabriel is very stubborn and yes I assume I let him go too far last night and I regret it there is no sign of infection in his leg and I loved it look at the bleeding I did the cure I gave him his meds."
Chapter I get out of the car with the help of some of these guys, but I don't know which one it is, I trip over my own feet as I walk to the other car and get in this one when they ask me to, the way they talk and the treatment changes in tale, I am in the other car this guy are more rude and the car is permeated with a strong smell of tobacco and liquor. I was just hoping to arrive alive and that these guys did not crash the car before getting there, the road was very long, that town was two hours away and I did not know which of them we were going to go to, I was starting to get dizzy because the car was moving a lot like that. When the car stops for a moment I hear them talking about whether it is better to make me walk there, but the other one says that there is a lot of swamp and Lían will be upset if I fall. I hear them arguing for a while between them, but the car is moving forward and the road is a little unstable and it's hard for me to stay seated in one place, so I fall
Ana POVWhen I was seven years old, my brother Andres and I were playing hide and seek behind the house, I ran so fast and hid so well that it was difficult for him to find me, my parents didn't notice my absence and the worried Nana called the police, two days later they found me, in the same place.That day I learned that our parents completely ignore our existence, that they don't even notice when we are not there.Andres decided to leave home and mom only found out five months later, because the police called her to say that my brother was in jail.The irony of life is that for some reason or another we did not leave our parents in this cold home.We don't have the best relationship and only sometimes wish we could be heard by them.I have seen families, being unity and loving, I can only feel envious, my head is filled with many thoughts every morning and I wish I was born in another home and with another family.The sun coming through the window created a heaviness in my eyes, w
Ana POVOh, my God!What are you doing to me, Father?What wedding?"Ana, we are here today, at this dinner, to inform you that you are getting married, in two weeks there will be a wedding that will unite you in marriage." I stared at my father and burst out laughing very loudly, attracting the attention of the other people at the surrounding tables, who turned to look at us, a tremor in my hands was not long in coming and I felt like I couldn't breathe."Tell me you're kidding, Dad," I blurted out, still laughing. "Tell me it's a lie?" I said with a voice that was somewhere between clipped and soaring."I'm sorry Ana, but your mother and I have talked about the two of you, you're both of marriageable age and I think it would be best.... Besides, you're single, so is he, and the two of you can get along."Dad's smile was the ugliest I have ever seen in my life, did he even know the pain he was causing me? Because I doubted it."No, the only thing going on here is that you are selling

Gabriel’s POVWe talked a little about business, dad has been helping me sell my part of the shares of the company I have with Fabio and Fabio has been getting more into the business, he recently traveled to Colombia for some meetings where he closed a good deal for the company and he had told me that a Spanish company wanted to sign with us for the construction of a hotel. Everything was going well financially and I liked that Fabio was putting more love into it than before, when he had only given the business to me and had stepped aside.Dad had managed to get one of his partners to meet with you to negotiate the shares of the company, as this man was well known for building the most famous hotels in some countries and I was proud that he put a little of his time to talk to me and my father about the business.Ana came out of the kitchen and I asked her to change her clothes, because I want to go to the doctor this afternoon, the doctor was not in the hospital, but she had told me t
Seeing how bad the security is at this hotel, I want to leave as soon as possible, but it's not only my vacation, it's my family's, so I have to think about them too before I pack my bags and leave. I contact Hugo to tell him what is happening and he asks me to go back with my family to the city, because we are forgetting that we can be in danger with a damn madman in the street.I ask Andres to pack, because I want to go back home, I don't know anyone on this island and coming here was a bad idea, from the beginning I had put Ana in danger myself by coming here and leaving alone without security."I don't want to leave." That's the first thing she says as I'm packing our bags."Ana, let's go home, this was a bad idea.""Nothing happened to me, it was just someone playing around or maybe it would be me imagining things." She's upset, I can tell by the way she's moving her hands. "I'm not leaving.""But I may have passed, Ana, Hugo thinks the same as me, it can be dangerous to be here
