A past ... Dead and buried? (VII)
Carlos was right. How could she help her brother if she was also behind bars? The doubts in Sara encouraged the commissioner who soon gave to her his best malicious smile, feeling victorious.
“We wait for you, Miss Gonzalez.” Her thoughts were interrupted by the judge, who demanded that she start her statement. She looked at the judge and nodded, again looked at Carlos and, unlike the commissioner, on the face of her grumpy beloved, this time a very friendly smile was reflected and his beautiful blue eyes shone full of hope. He made a slight gesture that encouraged her to continue and that was enough to completely illuminate her soul and give her the courage she so badly needed, Sara reciprocated his gesture and began to testify.
“I was …” She cleared her throat and raised the tone of her voice. “We were on the street; We had no money and

“I assumed that he was going to force me at that moment, but luckily he stopped, pushed me to the floor, laughed out loud, and left the cell mocking me. Despite being locked in a lonely and dark cell, I began to realize the time, I understood that another long night would pass when an officer again threw a bucket of ice water on me.” Sara, unconsciously, hugged herself frequently while speaking, a gesture that did not go unnoticed by the judge, much less Carlos. A clear sign of the difficult situation, of violence, abuse of power and sexual harassment, that she had to face.In general, the entire expression of his body, but especially Carlos's jaw, was so tight and the veins in his temple became so notorious that it would not surprise anyone if suddenly he rushed over Lizarango to break even the smallest bone of his disgusting existence. “In the same way, the arrival of the day was confirmed to me whe

“Good Miss Gonzalez, but there is still an unknown in your story … How did you plan to get the money to negotiate with the commissioner?”The question Sara had avoided so much. Her gaze wandered the floor, from corner to corner, she felt her sweaty hands and the expression on her face was full of fear and disappointment.“I … is …”She cleared her throat, thinking that after so much talking and crying, at that moment she might well deserve the divine gift of losing her voice … but no, life had never been so good to her, so she just had to continue and front-facing. “I was so desperate to get out of the misery I lived in … or rather I survived, that at some point, I was willing to do anything to help me move forward. Days before falling prey, I was in contact with ‘someone’

Although he was angry with Sara and his attitude was that of ‘someone with very few friends’, the truth is that having her back home, safe and sound, was something that Carlos appreciated and celebrated. The nightmare was not yet over, but at least now he could breathe better, seeing her outside that cell. Although in her immaturity, she compared the annex with a new prison, the truth is that it was only a matter of taking responsibility, paying her debt with justice and she would live in full freedom. It hurt him to leave her alone and to have to behave in such a distant and cold way with her when what he wanted was to solve the problems and make peace. He would have stayed with Sara the rest of the day, pampering her, making her feel loved and safe, more after all she had suffered at the hands of that corrupt and degenerate Lizarango. He wanted her to understand that he was for her and not against her, which she often forgot.

“Do you think it's just that? Of whether or not you went to La Ciudadela? Of your virginity?” He looked at her like he was looking for a million answers in Sara's eyes, in the end, and finding nothing, he just smiled in frustration, gave up on what he was trying to do and walked away again, ready to go.“Carlos, please don’t go!”“I just fired Renata.” He spoke without showing any kind of emotion or feeling in his voice, while Sara was surprised to hear him since she did not imagine him saying goodbye to who for so many years had been his right hand in the bar.“Renata?”“Do you want to know why?” He paused. “Simple, because I can't trust her anymore, I can't trust someone who can sell even her soul for pennies.” Sara reflected immediat

Sara was outside, sitting in front of the garden that divided the main house from the small annex, drinking a coffee, wanting to change her surroundings, breathing fresh air, bored, alone. Thanking for the help she received to regain her freedom, but at the same time feeling so miserable to have no one to talk to. She hated being alone, she missed her mother Rosa, her brother Alex, whom she still couldn't see, although her mother had told her that he was fine, that the authorities were reviewing his case and that he would probably be free very soon.It was Sunday and Jean Pierre arrived at the bar much earlier than usual, to do a pending job. Sara, who had not had any contact with anyone in the Mon'tblank, since that night when she lost her freedom, as soon as she saw him arrive, she ran to greet him and hug him.She couldn't help her heart leaping with excitement when she s

“Gina, right?”She didn't need any answer, the Frenchman's single glance said it all.Jean Pierre, who knew what was happening at the bar, tried to keep Sara calm and, above all, away from problems. She remained silent, but it was obvious how upset she was. She hated herself for taking so long to decide to enter the bar, so the witch had gone ahead.What the hell am I doing sitting in this corner like a perfect loser? She reproached herself. She came to that place turned into a lioness, but as soon as she learned that she was relegated, she began to feel like a cowardly cat who fears a miserable mouse.How many hours had she invested to look moderately pretty in Carlos's eyes? Even she had worn that dress that a coworker had given her when she first arrived at the Mon'tblank, which she believ

Sara was in the middle of her last week of community work, abide by all the rules, and although she lived convinced that when she obtained her total freedom, she should leave and forget about Carlos, she recognized that between thinking about it and doing it there was a great gulf of difficulty. On several occasions, Carlos approached and tried to resume the conversation from that night, but she made it clear that her decision was already made and flatly rejected any exchange between them, now it was Sara who raised the emotional barrier, but higher and impenetrable than ever.Although at first glance the blue-eyed seemed serene, the truth was that with the passing of the days he had begun to despair and although it was the last week of the service, Sara still had to wait a few more days, until she formally obtained her complete freedom, so he had decided to take advantage of every minute to recover the love o

After several days, he finally received a call from Officer Ramirez.“I have news of young Alexander Gonzalez, unfortunately, they are not good at all.”The last thing Carlos wanted, the last thing that could go through his mind was having to give Sara bad news, he huffed and closed his eyes while he massaged his temples a little, feeling a strong pressure on his chest, knowing that pain and sadness it was what she least needed at this moment. He continued listening, and while Ramirez spoke, everything was getting worse.“As you well know, the young man had been released after the authorities reviewed several of the cases handled by that commissioner.” He paused almost forcing. “The detail is that … we have a body, unclaimed, in the morgue of a community near Pueblo Soreno, whose characteristics completely coinc
