Antonio and Abuelo stood by the archway, a little way off, watching the spectacle unfold in the grand living room.

Ernesto was in his element, holding court. He had one woman draped over each arm, laughing loudly, his head thrown back, as he twirled them around. They giggled, fawning over him, their dresses swirling as he dipped one, then spun the other, a grin plastered across his face.

He looked like he hadn't a care in the world, like he was the king of the castle, and these two were his loyal subjects.

Abuelo grunted, watching Ernesto twirl one of the women.

"So, this is what's been occupying his mind in prison, eh?" He then nudged Antonio, a dry look in his eye. "And you, you were about to give him a free room in your hotel? Free of charge? That's not good for business, son. Not good at all."

Antonio's gaze was still fixed on his father, but his mind was miles away, churning.

Why was Ernesto so damn carefree? No mention of the business, no grand plan for his 'return' after what?

  • I Am Dead To You Husband    Chapter 076

    Camila was in her happy place: the top floor of her new building, which was basically her giant studio. The scent of fresh paint and new beginnings filled the air, mingling with the excited chatter of early arrivals downstairs.She smoothed down her dress and touched her makeup, swirling at the mirror before stepping out of her private office. This was it. Months of planning, sketching, and stressing, all leading to this big moment.As she made her way downstairs, the hum of conversations grew louder. She recognized familiar faces—her core team, a few loyal clients, some local business folks. And then there was Cole, who wasn't invited, but she knew he'd come anyway. And there was Madison, clinging to him like a limpet as they mingled with some of the guests.Her gaze swept through the crowd, a smile on her face, but there was just this rapidly growing panic setting in.This was real. This was happening. Her heart was pounding. And yes, a wave of nervous excitement was buzzing, making

    Antonio tried to hide the smile on his face. Camila just made this a lot easier, breaking the suffocating tension. This was what he liked her: she was perceptive and smart. Clearly, she wanted to get him out of this uncomfortable situation.Antonio stood up, giving Ernesto a sharp side glance. Ernesto's smile was gone; his eyes were narrowed as Antonio guided Camila out of the room.Once outside, they both got into the car, and the doors slammed shut, instantly trapping them in a heavy silence."So, want me to ask first before you tell me?" Camila finally broke the quiet.Antonio started fastening his seat belt as he muttered, "Thanks for understanding."Camila just shrugged. "No prob. You owe me an explanation, though.""I'm sorry he ruined our plans for tonight. I'll make it up to you, any way you want it," Antonio said, starting the engine and changing the subject, but his intentions didn't get past Camila."You're ignoring the question."Antonio gripped the steering wheel. "Look,

    "Antonio!" Camila called. He didn't answer, just stayed frozen, eyes glued to the bright message. Like it was a bomb waiting to explode.She grabbed a fork and a spoon and struck them together. "Antonio, hello, still in there?"Antonio finally looked up, his gaze a bit lost for a second, then snapped back. "Uh… excuse me for a sec," he mumbled and pushed his chair back with a loud scrape. He didn't even look back at Camila, who was watching him, growing more worried by the second.He just got up and marched out of the dining room towards the entrance, phone still in hand, the message burning in his mind.He read it again and again, each word like a punch: *Come outside and get your security to let me in.*That tone, that bossy way of speaking, could only belong to one person. A cold dread seeped in, twisting his stomach. He wished he was imagining things because having a huge bomb drop in his life was not something he was ready for. It was never something anyone could be ready for.Es

    "Are you kidding me right now?" Camila blurted out, her voice rising in disbelief and a flush creeping up her neck. "You hauled me all the way here for a lecture? About my phone calls? Seriously, you don't want to do this with me, Antonio."Antonio took a step closer, sighing heavily."You've been distant for no reason… that affects me. It makes me wonder what's going on in your head, what you're thinking. And frankly, I don't like being left in the dark."Camila bristled, her arms crossing over her chest. "I told you, I've been busy. And I was processing things. What do you want me to do, send you a daily update on my emotional state?""A simple text back, Camila. 'Busy, talk later.' Or 'Need some space to think, I'll call you.' Something. Anything. Not radio silence."He stopped just a few feet from her, his gaze so intense. "And as for processing… why do you need to process 'us'?"Her gaze faltered, dropping to the floor. "Because it escalated quickly, Antonio. One minute we're in

    ONE WEEK LATERCamila squinted, holding a swatch of silk up to the harsh studio light. It was just past 7 PM, and the city outside her top-floor space was beginning to hum with evening traffic.Two months and ten days since she'd returned to Mexico and sixty days since she officially committed to "Cielo," her first independent venture. Sixty days of relentless effort and, of course, the chaotic drama alongside.The studio wasn't yet bustling with a crew. One entire wall was plastered with magazine clippings, hand-drawn sketches, and the rest.A single sewing machine sat on a large cutting table, surrounded by paper patterns and whatnot.Leo, her sole intern, was labeling small boxes of fabric samples on a nearby shelf, humming softly.He'd been recommended to her by Cole. He just wouldn't mind his business, and he ended up helping with small administrative tasks that piled up faster than Camila could tackle them.Today, she was wrestling with a particularly tricky sleeve design for a
