The next day, sunlight gently filtered through the curtains, illuminating the room where Guillermo and Valeria had shared a night of passion and promises. Valeria slowly awakened, feeling Guillermo's warmth beside her. A sigh of satisfaction escaped her lips as she recalled the intensity of the previous night. However, the reality of her situation soon hit her hard.

Carefully, she got up, trying not to wake Guillermo. She needed a moment to reflect, organize her thoughts, and prepare for what was to come. As she dressed, her mind filled with concerns: “How would they face Tania’s presence?” The mere thought of her possibly interfering in their relationship again caused a knot to form in her stomach.

Guillermo woke up shortly after, stretching and smiling upon seeing Valeria.

“Good morning,” he said in a still-sleepy voice. “How do you feel today, my love?”

“A bit confused,” she replied, biting her lip. “You need to talk to Tania.”

Guillermo’s expression turned serious.

    Valeria approached the door with her heart racing, nervous about Guillermo's possible reaction to Javier's visit. When she opened the door, she found Javier, who greeted her with a smile and a bouquet of orchids, her favorite flowers."Hello, Valeria," Javier said, extending the flowers toward her. "I passed by a florist and remembered that these are your favorites."Valeria felt a knot in her stomach; the beauty of the orchids contrasted with the emotional storm surrounding her."Thank you, they are beautiful," she replied, trying to smile despite the sadness overwhelming her. "But you shouldn’t have bothered."Javier noticed her expression and, with a gentle gesture, stepped a little closer."Are you okay?" he asked, his voice filled with concern. "Is something wrong, Valeria?"The accumulated pressure overflowed at that moment. Unable to contain herself, Valeria threw herself into Javier's arms and began to cry, seeking comfort in his closeness, as she only considered him a friend.

The tranquility of the park contrasts with the chaos of everyday life.”Valeria nodded, though her mind was distant. The image of Guillermo, upset and hurt, occupied her thoughts.“You're right,” she replied, making an effort to smile. “It's a good place to disconnect from reality.”Javier observed her, noticing the sadness in her eyes.

    Valeria was plunged into deep sadness and loneliness in the small living room of her house, surrounded by memories of her parents.The photos on the walls and the old furniture constantly reminded her of the life she had lost in the blink of an eye. Since the tragic death of her parents in a car accident, her financial situation had become unsustainable. The medical expenses were exorbitant and despite the doctors' efforts to save them, they were in vain. This led Valeria to go into debt not only with the clinic, but also with the funeral arrangements, further aggravating her desperate situation.They had left her the house as an inheritance, but they had not left much property. The debts were piling up and the mortgage on the house was about to expire. Valeria felt trapped, without resources and without a stable job.

Although in reality, they were three sisters, but the youngest was kidnapped by the woman who cared for her when she was just a baby.That baby, when she was kidnapped, despite the fact that her parents paid a fortune to detectives investigating where she could be kept, they never found out where she was again.

    Guillermo sat on the edge of Tania's bed, watching as she settled into the sheets. The tension in the air was palpable, and although his mind was filled with thoughts of Valeria, he couldn't ignore Tania's presence, who looked at him with expectation."Do you feel better?" he asked, trying to sound indifferent."A little, thanks. I just need to rest for a while," Tania replied, smiling sweetly. "But, Guillermo, there's something we should talk about."He frowned, aware that the conversation could be delicate."What is it about?" he inquired, crossing his arms."About Valeria..." Tania began, her tone soft yet firm. "I know you love her, but you can't let her make you feel less. You deserve someone who values you."Guillermo felt uncomfortable. Despite his anger towards Valeria, a part of him still wanted to protect her."I won't allow you to speak about Valeria that way. Her situation has been very difficult, especially knowing that you are expecting my child.""But Valeria's anger fa

    Guillermo, visibly upset with Valeria, asked, “Are you expecting someone?”“No, but maybe you should open the door; it could be one of your lovers,” Valeria replied disdainfully. Guillermo chose to ignore the comment, not wanting to prolong the argument. When he opened the door, he was surprised and quickly looked at Valeria.“The visitor is for you. It’s your ex-fiancé, Javier. So, why don’t you go greet him?” he said, with a tone heavy with sarcasm and jealousy. Valeria, stunned, couldn’t understand why Javier was there after so long.“What are you doing here, Javier?” Valeria asked, her face paling.“Hi, Valeria. I see you weren’t expecting me. I just stopped by to say hello, but if I’m bothering you…”Frustrated by Tania’s presence in the mansion, Valeria decided to respond to Javier to unsettle Guillermo: “No, of course you’re not bothering me. You just took me by surprise, but please, come in. I have the right to receive my friends too.”Consumed by jealousy, Guillermo couldn’t

    Guillermo observed Valeria with an expression of anguish, aware that the words he was about to say could have significant consequences.“Valeria... darling, it’s just that... Tania is here, but I don’t want you to worry. I’m trying to manage the situation,” he replied, striving to sound convincing.Valeria frowned, feeling a chill run down her spine; the nightmare seemed to be returning to her life. Her gaze hardened.“Manage the situation? How can you say that? She represents a threat to us! Don’t you realize?” she exclaimed, feeling anger beginning to bubble up inside her.“I know, but...” Guillermo hesitated for a moment, searching for the right words. “She claims to be pregnant, and I need to verify if it’s true. I can’t ignore something as important as the possibility of a child.”Valeria stood frozen, her eyes widening in disbelief.“Pregnant? By you? Ha! Don’t make me laugh,” her voice trembled between disbelief and pain. “And how can you be sure that the child she is expecting

    Guillermo crouched down next to Tania, taking her pulse while trying to remain calm. "What’s wrong with you?" he murmured, worried. Tania, still pretending to be unconscious, presented herself to him as a fragile and defenseless figure, a stark contrast to the defiant woman who had stood before him moments earlier. As he held her, his mind filled with confusion. "Is it possible that she’s really pregnant?" he pondered, feeling a mix of anguish and responsibility. The idea of a child potentially on the way tormented him. Suddenly, Tania opened her eyes, blinking slowly. Guillermo felt an immediate sense of relief, though unease lingered. "What happened?" she asked, in a weak voice, trying to maintain her masterful act. "You fainted suddenly. I think you need to rest, Tania." She slowly sat up, rubbing her head. "I'm sorry... I don't know what happened. I just feel so overwhelmed," she replied, her tone trembling. Guillermo watched her, trying to discern whether her reaction was

    When Guillermo opened the door, his expression turned serious upon recognizing Tania.“¡Tania! What are you doing here?” he asked, trying to maintain a neutral tone.“Hello, Guillermo,” she replied, offering a smile that did not reflect sincerity. “I didn’t think my presence would make you so nervous.”Guillermo felt a knot in his stomach. He was aware that Tania represented a complicated chapter of his past, one he had tried to leave behind.“I asked you a question,” Tania continued, adopting a firm posture. “What are you doing here?”“I came because I have something serious to discuss with you,” he said, his tone becoming more grave.“Talk? You and I have nothing to discuss. I think you’ve done enough with the manipulation you orchestrated to separate me from Valeria, but you didn’t get your way.”“What happened between us wasn’t manipulation; you made me yours, and you enjoyed it.”“That’s a lie! I don’t remember anything. It’s all been a ruse to separate me from Valeria, and that
