He Stole My Love, Heart and My Future—But I’m Taking It Back Chapter 56
The phone call came at 6 AM. It woke me up from the first good sleep I'd had in days."Emily? This is Marcus Webb. I used to work for your husband."I sat up in bed, suddenly wide awake. The morning was still dark outside. Alejandro moved beside me. His eyes opened when he heard me take a sharp breath."I know who you are," I said carefully. Marcus had been Carlos's head of overseas business—the one who helped hide money in foreign banks. "What do you want?""To fix things. Can we meet? There's a lot you don't know about what's happening to you.""I won't meet with anyone who worked for Carlos.""Even if I can prove Javier Reyes isn't who he says he is?"My hand gripped the phone tighter. "What do you mean?""I mean, his real name is Javier Morales. And he's not Carlos's half-brother. He's Daniela's cousin."The room started spinning around me like a broken toy. "That can't be true.""One hour. The coffee shop on Fifth Street. Come alone, or I disappear forever."The line went dead. I

The bright camera lights hurt my eyes like lightning. Each flash made my head hurt worse. The reporters had found our house early in the morning—twenty people with mean looks and nasty questions. They waited outside our gate like hungry birds looking for food.The morning air was cold and sharp. Frost covered the windows, but inside, everything felt hot and scary."Emily! Did you cheat on your husband?""How long have you been with Alejandro?""Are you using your baby to trick him?"I pressed my face against the kitchen window. I watched them ruin the quiet morning that Mateo and I always loved. He sat at the table behind me. His cereal got mushy while he stared at the mess outside."Mom, why are they here?""Just some mixed-up people, baby. Eat your breakfast."But my hands shook as I poured coffee I couldn't drink. Being pregnant already made me feel sick. Now I felt scared too.Alejandro came to the door. His hair was messy from sleeping. His face looked angry and dark like storm c

The phone rang at seven in the morning, cutting through the peaceful kitchen sounds like a sharp knife."Emily, we need to meet. Today." Javier's smooth voice made my skin crawl. Mateo sat at the table eating his cereal, and Alejandro was making coffee. Everything felt normal until my phone rang and shattered the quiet morning."I don't want to talk to you," I said."I think you'll want to hear what I have to say. It's a good deal."I watched Mateo, so innocent and happy, with milk dripping from his spoon. I looked at Alejandro, with dark circles under his eyes from staying up all night worrying about the tax problems. Then I put my hand over my still-flat belly, already wanting to protect the tiny life growing inside me."One hour. Sofia's office," I said."Come alone.""No way."He laughed, but it sounded cold and mean. "Fine. But Emily? This is your last chance to do this the easy way.""He's playing games," Sofia said, walking back and forth behind her desk. The morning sun came t

The man who said he was Carlos's half-brother looked nothing like him.Javier Reyes sat across from Sofia and me in the meeting room at her law office. His expensive suit fit perfectly, his smile looked practiced and cold. Where Carlos had been tall and wide, Javier was thin and wiry. Where Carlos had dark eyes, Javier's were pale green. The only thing they shared was their cockiness."I know this must be shocking," he said, his voice smooth as silk. "Carlos hardly ever talked about family. Our father had... messy relationships.""Messy how?" Sofia asked, her pen ready over her legal pad."Different mothers. Different countries. He grew up in Mexico with his mother after our father's first marriage ended badly." Javier spread a folder of papers across the table. The afternoon light coming through the office windows made the documents look official and threatening. "These are his birth records, DNA test results proving we're related, and the will naming me as the person who gets his ov

The morning of the hospital opening, I stood in front of my bedroom mirror. I kept fixing my dress over and over. At four months pregnant, my belly was finally showing. It was a gentle curve that made me feel strong and scared at the same time."You look beautiful," Alejandro said from the doorway. He was already wearing his dark suit."I look nervous.""That too." He walked up behind me and put his hands on my shoulders. "But mostly beautiful. And strong. And ready."In the mirror, I could see both of us. He was tall and steady behind me, and I had my growing belly and hands that wouldn't stop shaking since I woke up."What if I mess up my speech?""Then you'll figure it out as you go. Like you always do.""What if the reporters ask about Carlos? About the trial"?"Then you'll tell them the truth. Today isn't about the past. It's about the future."I turned around in his arms. "What if I cry?""Then you cry." He kissed my forehead. "Emily, this hospital exists because you refused to
