Taboo Dance
Ángela was the typical housewife married to a doctor. Everyone thought she had a perfect life. And while they weren’t wrong about the material comforts, they were completely mistaken about her marriage. Cristian, her husband, has never loved her and has never treated her well. Their union was arranged by their parents. When they married, it settled a million-dollar debt owed by Ángela’s father to her now father-in-law.
She lived a monotonous life, with her only escape being her dance classes. But everything changed overnight when she discovered her husband had a mistress—and had no intention of leaving her. Out of spite, Ángela accepted a job as a Burlesque dancer at a cabaret. She also began an affair with Eduardo, the club’s owner, who turned out to be her brother-in-law and the black sheep of the family.
What follows is a spiral of complications. Ángela becomes entangled in a forbidden and dangerous romance. She comes face to face with the world of organized crime. Her husband, upon learning of her infidelity, grows obsessively jealous. Along the way, she meets a friend who tries to help her escape this toxic environment. The choices Ángela makes from here on will determine the course of her future.

Chapter: Chapter 18 When he left the highway, he slowed down, but he threatened me. He told me not to make a scene or ask for help, or else things would go very badly for me. As he said this, he showed me a gun. I realized my fears were becoming real. The terror I felt turned into a severe panic attack. I could barely breathe as I thought I was about to be murdered by my husband.Roughly, Cristian told me to calm down. He handed me a pair of dark sunglasses so no one would see my tear-filled eyes. He wanted to keep others from noticing I had been crying. He also asked for my phone so I couldn’t call anyone. With that, any possibility of someone helping me disappeared.We arrived at the parking lot of the building where Cristian owns an apartment. When we got into the elevator, we ran into one of the concierges, who very kindly asked how we were doing. My husband rushed to answer for both of us. He said we were doing great and had come to spend a few days relaxing.For Cristian’s convenience, no one else

Chapter: Chapter 17When I dance, I feel like a fish in water. Dancing is my element. It makes me feel alive and whole. When I was a child, I took ballet classes at school. Although classical dance is beautiful, it’s not the one I enjoy. I prefer modern dance. It’s versatile, dynamic, and theatrical. I'm passionate about how expressive it is. The movements can be completely different from one piece to another. And it has a series of other details that make me love this artistic expression.I'm happy with the introductory dance classes. In every class, I try to absorb everything like a sponge. It may seem frivolous, but I love how I look in dancewear. Taking part in each class makes me very happy. Plus, I'm really excited because at the end of the course, we’ll do a public performance at a well-known theater in Santiago.In the classes, I've met very diverse people. There are very young students, and others older than me. What we all have in common is our shared passion for dance. The classes are filled w

Chapter: Chapter 16I thought the sessions with the psychologist would be more difficult. The topics we address are heavy, yet I find it easy to open up to her. Like Jane, I’m a very reserved person, and it embarrasses me to admit that I endured severe psychological abuse from my husband. I'm also ashamed of having had a lover. According to the values I was raised with, that was immoral—no different than being a prostitute. And on top of all that, I danced in a nightclub where illegal dealings took place.I told Amanda, my psychologist, about my toxic relationship with Cristian and how complicated things were with Eduardo. I explained that I was afraid of both men. She understood why I feared my husband, but she couldn’t see the danger in my ex‑lover. That was because I didn’t tell her everything. I omitted the fact that my brother‑in‑law is involved in shady business and once offered to kill my husband. I also didn’t mention that I had worked as a dancer in one of his cabarets after discovering my spous

Chapter: Chapter 15I had always seen Jane as a very empowered woman, but while we were having breakfast, she told me something that truly surprised me. She said she had been with men like Cristian more than once and that she had suffered both physical and psychological abuse. She told me that, without realizing it, she kept seeking out terrible men who were all quite similar to each other. She said it had been very hard to break free from that vicious cycle. When her last partner beat her so badly that she ended up hospitalized, she met a feminist nurse at the clinic, and they quickly became close friends. That nurse encouraged her to report her partner and leave him.At first, Jane didn’t want to press charges. She was afraid of how her boyfriend would react, and deep down, she believed she was to blame for the situation. The psychological abuse had left terrible scars. She felt like she wasn’t a good woman and that’s why her partners punished her—to correct her. In her mind, they were actually good pe

Chapter: Chapter 14 That night, I silenced my phone so I could finally get some peaceful sleep. When I woke up, I saw I had over ten missed calls and five text messages from Cristian. His tone had shifted drastically—from expressing concern in the first messages to calling me a “stupid bitch” in the last. I immediately messaged my lawyer, asking if she thought I should respond. She advised me to tell him I’d stayed over at a friend’s place because it got late, and warned me not to let on that I had left him. The goal was to give me enough time to collect my belongings from Cristian’s house without incident. Once I’d done that, she would call him herself to inform him of my decision and to make it clear that any attempt to harass me would have legal consequences.I called Cristian, knowing he was usually in a meeting at that hour. My plan was to keep the conversation short, avoiding questions or insults. I told him exactly what my lawyer had advised me to say—that I had stayed at a friend’s place because

Chapter: Chapter 13 I called the lawyer right away and scheduled an appointment for the afternoon. After work, I went home to retrieve the contract and headed straight to the law firm. When I arrived, Claudia greeted me warmly. She had a kind and reassuring presence—someone who made you feel at ease from the very first moment.She asked me to tell her my story in detail. Since I had never done it before, I opened up completely. I told her everything about the contract my father and I had been forced to sign so he wouldn’t end up in jail. I spoke about the way Cristian had always treated me, and about my desperate need to divorce him.Claudia asked her secretary to make a copy of the contract so she could study it in detail. She then asked if I had the money to cover the penalty I’d have to pay if I filed for divorce. I told her I didn’t. That I only had a small amount saved, plus whatever I would earn working with Jane. She told me to go home calmly and try to get some sleep. She promised to give me an a
