The days went by normally, I saw my sister happier and more cheerful, her pregnancy started to show, the relationship with Gabriel felt like it had improved a lot, she took time to spend with her family and I even saw them going out for a drink or just a walk.I liked that Gabriel treated her well, there was no trace of the unfaithful man that hurt my sister so much, but it was very good to know that they loved each other madly and had overcome those problems.When I met Claudio, he had just returned from a trip he had taken to get over the divorce and then the loss of his daughter's mother, with whom he had shared many good and bad moments.I was not ready to accept that I loved him and much less to accept that I liked a man, the difference between Claudio and me is that he accepted our situation before me, he did it from the first moment and tried to make me see reason, but I was afraid, I suffered a lot because of this man, seeing that I did not want to recognize my feelings made m
She was so focused that she had not noticed my presence and was startled when I called out to her."Marcela," I said to get her attention."Hey, why don't you make some noise when you enter the kitchen, you scare me," she puts her hand to her heart."I called you many times, but I looked at the screen and you didn't listen to me." I put my arm around his shoulders and he pulled me close to see what he's looking at on the screen. "Do you like that guard?" I asked, only to get a punch in the stomach from his elbow."Respect, I'm an older woman, how do you think I like young boys these days?" Her expression feigned annoyance. "But the truth is, young Andrew, that boy is no guardian.""How?""Like, that boy standing outside the gate of the house is not a guard, he's been there for a long time without moving, it's like he's waiting for something.""Did you call my brother-in-law?" I picked up the tablet and watched the man pick up a cigarette and smoke."He's been doing that for a long tim
that and I still played with her heart, but today I don't do that anymore and I want to be the husband that she and the baby deserve.When I got home, I saw the guys from the security guards running around excitedly as if looking for something, with one hand I called Rafa, but I stopped to see the face of one of the guys."What the hell happened here?" I asked as I approached the boy, who had a split lip and a swollen eyebrow. "If you were fighting with each other, I want you to know that I don't accept such actions at home, my wife can't see that kind of attitude in you," I ask them."It wasn't them." Andre's voice comes from the house and by the look on his face I know I'm not going to like it. "Come in."We walk into my office, he picks up a yellow manila envelope and hands it to me in a not so nice way, the envelope hits the floor because of how fast he throws it in my face."What the hell are you up to, André? He wants us to fight again, I'm telling you that I don't want to do an
The worry in her voice was very clear, I was scared too, I didn't know how far Sonia's wickedness could go, because I never knew her that she could do such things, I always thought it was just normal jealousy, but I had been wrong all my life and in the end I never knew the real Sonia, Ana told me how she knew about the pictures, she said she was alone in her room when the phone alerted her of a new message, so she opened it and looked at all the pictures that were in the envelope, I had underestimated Ana because she was a strong woman who could stand up for herself in spite of everything that happened to us.I did not have to protect her as if she were made of glass, I had to fight together with her to defeat the enemy as the family we were and would be in a few months, because all this time I was protecting her from the truth and Ana is able to know everything that happens, even when there is a problem like today, when she is aware of the photos, when she fell asleep I got out of b
The next morning I decide to go to the mall, I need a new dress for dinner tonight, today was the big day. 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
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
