“When is Amelia coming back?” Celine asked in sign language. Alice smiled. “I don’t know. She was going to introduce to the people the new head officer. You know that Amelia and Marcos want to change things.” “I hope she would’ve made this change when my grandfather was alive.” Celine continued in sign language. “Yes, it’s really sad that your grandfather was no longer here to see that the help he gave to Marcos and Erika was worth it.” “Alice?” “Mmmm?” “Is she still looking for her father? I don’t understand how she could start thinking that it was her father who abandoned her.” “Yes, that’s what I constantly repeat to her, but she doesn’t want to hear me. This revenge is making her heart colder.” Alice replied in sign language. “There’s no way a parent can abandon their children.”And it was true: Amelia had sent a lot of people to look for her father, but no one had brought her any good news. So, it was easy for her to start thinking that her father abandoned her and ran awa
“Has she come back?” Celine asked when she saw Alice coming into her room. Alice denied. “Well, she indeed came back but she didn’t want to listen to me. I think she has other problems that need her attention.”Celine shook her head. She knew it was necessary for Amelia to listen to what Celine had to say. She knew what she saw. She knew that she had seen Thomas killing her father because, after so many years Celine had met Erika’s father by photo. That was when she understood that Valeria and Thomas had ended Erika’s father's life. But she couldn’t say it straightforwardly to Alice. There was a little chance that she could be wrong. And she really wanted to be wrong. Celine couldn’t imagine Amelia suffering more than she had done. When Alice noticed how sad Celine got, she went to her and hugged. Celine hugged her back. Behind Alice’s back, Celine looked at the photo in her hands where Erika and her father were smiling and cried on Alice’s shoulder. Maybe it wasn’t the right mom
When Amelia reached the living room, she waited for one of the maids to notify Zein. And that happened seconds later. One of the maids said that Zein was in the garden, waiting for someone to talk, especially Amelia. She asked the maid if Zein was accompanied by someone, a little baby, but she said no, Zein had come alone. Amelia sighed. She really wanted to see her son. But she easily understood that it wasn’t her time yet to say who she really was. She needed to be patient. Amelia went to the garden and there she found him. Zein was walking back and forth impatiently.“Good to see you here, dear Mr. Valladolid.” Amelia greeted him. Zein turned around. Even though he was dying to talk to her, to take her out or just start paving his way to her heart, he also understood that this time the issue wasn’t with him but with Marcos Muriel. It was time to start figuring things out. “Hasn’t Gadriel come to visit me?” Amelia asked. She was dying to know where he was and when the next ti
While Amelia was embracing her son and with that hug she told him that she was there, she was always going to be with him, Valeria smiled smoothly. Thomas looked at her. It was obvious that the ultimate boss lady in that town was thinking of doing something against Amelia. It was a boomer that her hell was going to start that day. Valeria wasn’t going to stop until she could reveal to the whole world who she was and what she pretended to do. She should’ve finished her off when she had the opportunity. She should’ve finished her off with her bare hands. Marcos looked at Valeria when he noticed the way Valeria was looking at them. Then, he looked at Zein. “Are you okay, little boy? Are you okay?” Amelia asked with tears in her eyes. Gadriel nodded. It was obvious that something was wrong with that boy. “Tell me, my love, are you okay?” Valeria got up and approached them. “Hello, Miss. Muriel. It’s a pleasure to have you here, in this terrible moment that the Valladolid family is g
Laughing out loud, all Valeria wanted to do at that moment was continue imagining how Charles had blown in pieces all over the air. It was exactly what fed her evil heart. She wanted Amelia and Marcos to suffer like no one has ever suffered before, and there was no better way than dragging their loved ones to hell. Now Alice was going to go against them. If it hadn’t been for Amelia and Marcos, she would’ve never lost the love of her life. “Come on, Thomas! Sit with me and let’s have a toast!” Valeria said. Thomas smiled and sat across from his lady as he called her. Valeria sighed happily. She was happier than anyone else in that town. There was no person’s happiness that could compete with hers. It was like Valeria’s dreams were coming true at that instant. Now she was getting closer to her true purpose. Now just a little steps more and she could show off having Amelia between her hands. And for that, she already had an incredible idea. The way she was going to finish with her w
When Amelia arrived home, with tears in her eyes she let the maids know that that house had turned upside down since Charles' death. Suddenly, the peace, the love that family felt for each other was gone. It was like everyone had to be watching every single movement of the other. Mrs. Muriel had been depressed, she always cried and screamed, she always said she wanted Charles back and Marcos and Amelia, there was nothing they could do because they had been the cause of the bad that now was surrounding that place. When Amelia arrived, the maids had really bad news for her. Alice was gone. She had decided to leave Marcos and Amelia to destroy the lives of others because Alice was never going to forgive them for what they’d done to her. Charles was all Alice had. They didn’t understand it, did they?“Miss. Amelia!” One of the maids called her out. Amelia looked at the woman. “Where’s Alice? How’s she doing?” She asked since when she left her, Alice was having an attack, she was putting
She was just a 25 year-old woman who was learning to adapt to the new world of business, she was happy, she was eager to learn everything and anything the world had to offer her. She was a loved daughter, her mother and her father always told her how much they loved her, there was not a single day that she hadn’t heard how proud her parents were for having her in their lives, until the death of her mother. It was true that Erika felt depressed for so long, but thanks to her father’s support she could continue and be the happy girl she always was. Everything in her life was perfect, there were thousands of men who tried to have a healthy relationship, but Erika always said the same: she wasn’t prepared, there were more things that needed her attention. Maybe one day she was going to give herself an opportunity, but at that time, it couldn’t be possible. And as always, the men ran away. But one day everything changed in her life with a single trip she had to make. On a trip to L.A, she
The saddest day for the Valladolid family had arrived and no one had seen it coming. It was incredible how one of the sons on Valeria Valladolid had encountered such a tragic destiny. And Vaeria couldn’t accept that all of that had just happened because of her. She had been the one who led her son to death. Now she has just one son. The one she always said was more intelligent, more capable, was able to follow his mother’s footsteps. She never trusted Antonio, she always treated him like he was a drunk man instead of helping him. All Antonio needed was a little bit of his mother’s attention. And when she found love in one of the maids whose name was Elena, all his mother did was kill her and kill the little baby she had inside of her. Valeria never cared about her son. Valeria never cared about him, she just cared about the most intelligent one between those two. And now that it was clear that the only one who had been the cause of all of that, it had been just her, Valeria couldn’t a
When Marcos and Amelia arrived at the place where Ethan was with all the policemen, Amelia could see that part of the forest was completely faced off. The tears came to her eyes immediately. She was already imagining everything after Celine had told her what she had seen. Special people were there to study the case. “Ethan!” Marcos greeted. “Ethan, did you find something?” Amelia insisted. Ethan sighed, and then nodded. “Yes, yes, Amelia, we found what we were looking for. I’m afraid Celine was right. Everything was found as she declared.”Amelia’s heart broke. Of course she was already expecting those words, but she still had hope that her father hadn’t died in such a way. His body was there, like any other animal’s corpse. What crime did he commit to end up like that?Marcos grabbed her by her arms and made her stay on her feet. It was terrible what she had heard, that was why he kept by her side. “Can I see the place where… where… where you… found my father’s remains?” Ethan j
All of a sudden the main door opened abruptly. The people Amelia and Marcos had sent with Patricia to take care of her kept her company. Marcos and Amelia turned around after they separated from each other, Amelia with a smile on her face, but that smile went off when she noticed that Patricia was crying and trying to talk. Not a word came out of her mouth by itself. It was like Patricia had to make a bigger effort to force the words out of her mouth. “What’s going on, Patricia? What’s going on? Did you run into her? Valeria? Zein? Tell me!” Amelia insisted. Patricia shook her head. “No, Amelia. It’s something worse.” “What? What are you talking about? My son?! It’s my son?! Come on! Talk to me! Is he okay? Where’s he? Tell me he’s fine! Patricia, talk to me!” Amelia screamed. Imagining that her son could be dead was killing her. “I’m sorry, Amelia, but Zein…” “Zein what?! Talk to me now!” Amelia screamed with tears in her eyes.“Zein and Valeria took your son away. He’s no longe
THE FOLLOWING DAY As Patricia had declared last night, she wanted to help Amelia and Marcos in any way she could. She made Amelia aware of the things that might come once Amelia revealed the truth. That night no one had slept. They were just talking about the things that were happening in the Hacienda Valladolid and the plans the Muriel family had to go against them. Also, Patricia got to know Celine, surprisingly Patricia recognized her as a girl who had arrived at the Hacienda some years ago, asking for help to bury her father. Patricia saw the way Valeria treated her, Valeria mocked her and said something about the man who had died, something like he deserved such a thing after being the one who decided to talk back to her and try to convince people that she wasn’t any good woman, she wanted to take advantage from them, and when Celine asked for a little help, Valeria gave it to her out of mocking. Now that Amelia knew she could trust Patricia, she opened up and told her that she
VALLADOLID HACIENDAAt the bar of the Hacienda, Zein couldn’t stop drinking. He was so lost in what he had discovered that morning that he didn’t find any other way to drown his sorrow. In his mind he thought he could get back on time and fix his mistakes. He loved Erika Beltran. He was never going to forget how he met her and what he thought when he saw her for the first time. The Beltran family had arrived at the meeting; they were the first ones in the meeting room when Zein and his lawyer arrived. Zein was so pissed off. He had just arrived in the country and the first thing that received him were problems, problems and more problems. His mother was never going to stop that. And she and only she herself had been the cause for what Zein decided to study abroad and now that the time to lead the whole Valladolid company had arrived, he just wanted to run away. By that time the alcohol problems of his brother had just started. Zein insisted his mother take him with a specialist, but
HACIENDA VALLADOLID When Patricia arrived at the Hacienda, she got out of her car and without parking well, she came into the Hacienda and went directly to her room, but what she didn’t know was that someone had followed her there. Thomas. When Thomas saw that Patricia got out of her car, Thomas stopped behind her car and linked her lips. It seemed like his moment had arrived after so long. If only she knew how much that pervert man had waited for Patricia, she would’ve run away from the mere beginning. In her room, Patricia was rushing to get the most things she could at that moment. Her plan was easy, she wanted to see Amelia and tell her what she had seen when the little boy fell off the horse. Patricia was sure that it had been a plan of Valeria, it hadn’t been the first time she had seen her act like that, the worst part was that this time Valeria had decided to act against her own grandson. Suddenly, all that love she felt for the little boy, the concern, the care, the way sh
When Valeria walked down the hallway, she looked around to see if Thomas was around. Her neck was bleeding. At the waiting room, she saw her son Zein with his head down. When she thought she could turn around because she thought her son hadn’t seen her, she heard his voice. “Mother?”“Oh, Zein!” She expressed again, turning around. “Mother, where have you been? I thought you wanted to see my son. Patricia is with him now.” “Oh, of course I want to see him.” Valeria put on a fake smile. “Mother, are you okay? I see that you’re not… Oh! My Goddess!” Zein’s eyes widened when he saw blood in his mother’s neck. “What happened to you?! Mom, are you okay? How did this happen to you?”“It’s nothing, Zein.” “No, let me see. You’re bleeding.” “It’s nothing, Zein.” “Mother, please.” “Zein!”All of a sudden someone clearing her throat called for their attention. Zein looked at Patricia with pain in his eyes while Valeria gave her a killing gaze. She hadn’t had the time to face her and cla
When Marcos was out of the room where Amelia was resting, he communicated to the people who were taking care of Celine. He even spoke with her. When Alice tried to take Celine away, and she said that she wanted to stay with the people who gave her a new identity and a new life where she could be someone, Celine said that the only way she had to show her loyalty to the people who helped her was why staying with them, helping them in any way she could and be a friend and the sister where they could find peace, even if it was for a brief moment. “How are you doing, Celine?” Marcos asked. “Marcos, I’m fine. But tell me how Amelia's baby is doing? Is he okay? Is she okay?” Marcos didn’t know what to answer. “Marcos?” She insisted. “Have you said something? Can you repeat it? I think the device didn’t catch your words.” Marcos smiled. “I was saying that she’s okay. Her son is also doing okay.” “Can I talk to her?” “Celine, I think this is not the right moment. She’s a little nervous
With tears in her eyes, the heart beating faster and her blood boiling inside of her, Amelia arrived at the hospital where Valeria said her son was. Marcos, always by her side, kept her company. She just needed to know about her son, for what Valeria had told her it was clear that her son wasn’t okay. No one could understand what had happened with the little boy. The truth was that if the only way Erika had to bring back her son’s health was by saying the truth, who she was, what she wanted and above all, if someone asked her to forgive Valeria in order to live the life she still had ahead with her son, with no doubt she would do it. As soon as her eyes saw Valeria, Zein and Patricia in the waiting room, something inside of her forced her to go against Valeria and Zein and also Patricia and force them to say what had happened. Deep inside she wanted to blame everyone in her list just to give herself more reasons to finish them off and when they were begging for their lives, not havi
FAMILY MURIEL’S HACIENDA By the time Marcos and Amelia had started making changes in the town, many other things started to come to light, like the crimes the Valladolid family had committed. It was also too soon to prove that she had been the cause for Charles’ death. Maybe that was going to take a little longer to reveal. Police had also started to change, since Ethan arrived at the town, he became the authority that town had never had since Valeria Valladolid seemed to be the chosen one to lead the lives of all those people there. Ethna and Marcos had worked side by side to draw conclusions. The farmers working with the Muriel family and the people in the club had started seeing the first changes. Everyone was happy with her. They started agreeing with her on every change she wanted to make. She had also shown that she wasn’t ready to work without the permission of the people in the town, she wanted everyone to agree with her, and if there were people who had better ideas, she wou
