I was going to meet my brother's girlfriend and I was going to tell my in-laws the news of the arrival, a baby home soon, my belly was so big, now it was as if the baby didn't want to be hidden anymore, but anyway I put on a jacket to hide my pregnancy a little.I decided that Rafa and one of the other guys would go shopping with me, I wanted to take advantage of the moment to have Rafa try on one of the suits in the store that Gabriel had recommended to me and where one of the girls had told me that he could come by any time to help me. We went to get something to eat first because I had not had breakfast, the vomiting in the morning was not so frequent, but when I had it I could hardly eat anything.I stopped at a bakery and bought something sweet, Rafa looked at me reproachfully, but I pretended not to notice anything, while I was eating we entered the store where a girl named

Gabriel's POVI looked everywhere with my eyes, but the parking lot was practically empty, there were only a few people around and none of them were paying attention to us, I didn't see anything suspicious that made me doubt anyone.When I turned my attention back to Ana, her face was completely pale and her hands were shaking, I quickly threw the flowers on the ground and pulled Ana into my arms."Stop it honey, don't worry about it." I stroked her back reassuringly."Who did this, Gabriel? This person hates us enough to do this, I'm so scared." She moved his body away from mine and picked up the note on the floor to read it. "How did that person know we were coming here today, Gabriel? We're being followed and no, we noticed, it's someone else or it's her, right?"I kept quiet because I didn't want to confirm her suspicion that Sonia was behind all this, I didn't want to worry Ana more and more now that we were coming out of the doctor's later, after seeing our son or daughter for t
Andre's POVI wished that Mom and Dad were here to enjoy this moment with Ana, but we had lost contact with them and I doubted that Gabriel would allow them to get close to Ana, because I knew very well that my brother-in-law had given my father a large sum of money as long as they never came into Ana's life again.That was fine with me because I could not forgive them for what they had done to Ana by marrying her off to a stranger.When I returned to my room I called my fiancé because there was something I had not told my sister, I did not live with a girl, my partner was a boy and I was not ashamed of being gay, I just had not been able to tell him the truth.I didn't want my sister to reject me like mom did, because she had found out, she had realized my relationship with Claudio, she had discovered it one day when she went to the mall and found me kissing in public, because I didn't want to hide my relationship from anyone, only then things got really ugly between mom and me.But
Gabriel's POVAna was resting in the room, this pregnancy made her sleep a lot, although lately her appetite had decreased a little, the vomiting in the morning did not let her take a bite.So I myself, with a little help from Mrs. Marcela who had returned home, prepared some oatmeal for her to make her stomach with soda crackers, with only that in her stomach she had said she wanted to rest.I didn't want her to be present at these meetings, I didn't want her to live thinking about Sonia day and night, because Ana had already suffered so much because of me and Sonia that now she had to live in fear of going out on the street because a woman was following her."There is still something we don't know, how it happened. How did Sonia know Ana was pregnant? That day the note said she was very excited, I'm sure she knows about the pregnancy". I put the idea to both of them."She could have paid one of the nurses who was on duty that day while you were in the office with the doctor," says D
"Ana, please, you need to be calm.""Calm down." I laugh sarcastically and a tear runs down my cheek. "A girl I don't know is calling me auntie and him." I point at him."He lied to me." My voice breaks from crying, I'm disappointed, upset and hurt that Andrew made fun of me."Ana, sis, let me explain.""Shut up." I yell at her so loudly that I regret it when I see the girl running away from me. "Clara, honey, I'm sorry, auntie's not that bad, I'm just a little hurt." I can't help but cry."You hate me auntie, you don't even love me to daddy, you saw daddy, she wouldn't accept me, I told you that". The little girl begins to cry and I hug her."I accept you sweetheart, right Gabriel." He smiles at her and nods. "But the aunt needs time to accept that she has such a beautiful child as a niece, Gabriel, you can take the child to the table with the others.""I will come back, Clara, you will accompany me.""Yes, Uncle Gabriel, I wanted to meet you too."I hear them talking to each other a
When I left my room to go down to the dining room, my feet bumped against something or rather someone, my eyes ran over the beautiful flower dress I was visiting, Clara, my brother and Claudio's daughter, who was sitting on the floor, her face was between her hands, she looked bored... ...."Clara, why are you sitting on the floor?" I called to her, she heard my voice, looked up with a big smile and stood up."Uncle Gabriel told me where your room was, he said I could wait for you downstairs, but he was afraid it was too far away from Daddy and me." For a seven-year-old, the little girl could say things that made my heart ache. "Are you going away?""No, I'm home, honey, I can't go anywhere.""Then you'll come down and send us away.""Clara." I call her, annoyed by her persistent question."I'm not going to throw you out of the house, who said that?""Daddy said if you don't accept Daddy the way he is, we have to leave this house without dinner.""Daddy?""Yes, I call my father Claudi
When I get to the dining room everyone is in their seats, on the right side my in-laws, Marcela, Rafa on the left side my brother with his family, Carlos and Natalia are sitting next to the beautiful little girl who looks at me with emotion, she excitedly calls for me to sit down and I do, I sit next to my mother-in-law who asks me if I feel better, I tell her it was just a headache, no importance.Dinner is finally served, everyone laughs at the things the girl says, there seems to be no filter to stop her curiosity or her sincere words, you all know who they are in my brother's life and no one has an opinion on the subject, everything is normal and I'm glad to know that a news like tonight's has not overshadowed our happiness."Everyone gives us a little of your attention." Gabriel asks, getting up from his seat. "Ana and I would like to tell you some news.""You're not going to say you want a divorce, are you?" Gabriel's mother holds her hand to her chest, I know she is very concer
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
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 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 "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
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

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
