Pedro Hernandez

Abigail and my mother came in the Escalade. Bruno drove and I have to remember to ask for a new driver, for both my mother and me. But I've always liked driving. I decided not to force a closeness with my daughter, I want to take it one step at a time and I need Adrielle to understand and accept that. I don't know if she'll stop me from getting to know our daughter, but she doesn't have that right.

"Abuelita, can we have pizza?" I hear Abigail say as soon as I enter the house.

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 114 - The Warehouse of the Dead

    Adrielle Hale The security car is following us to Normandie Ave. That's good, so we won't be at risk. Pedro is driving silently. The streets are busy, but as we get closer to the location on the car's navigation system, traffic is gradually decreasing. I told Brooks we were heading to this location and sent her the address. I'm glad she gave me her phone number. She's a good cop. And she seems genuinely interested in bringing justice. Brooks told me not to go, but I can't change the stubborn man next to me. I just told her to come and that we're not going back. Calls are pouring into my phone right now, and messages are telling me how dangerous this is. "What's going on?" Pedro asks, his eyes focused on me for a second. "Brooks is telling me not to go, but how can I explain that the man sitting next to me is stubborn enough not to listen?" I ask, staring at him. I can see a small smile on his lips. "The stubborn man beside you told you not to come." His blue eyes focus on mine,

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 113 - The Last Clue

    Adrielle Hale Pedro is silent. He's probably thinking about what Sofia said. She knows. Sofia knew all along that her husband was cheating on her, and yet, her way of trying to smooth things over is still there. She's still trying to contain her son's looming anger toward his father. "How long have you known?" Pedro's voice comes out softly. Sofia sighs sadly, as if she wants to keep this secret a secret for longer. "When you were born, I suspected he was having an affair with someone at the company. Max was away a lot. More than necessary," she replies calmly, as if the pain of finding out hadn't affected her. "Twenty-two years later, you disappeared, Pedro. Leaving behind someone you loved, and Leonard tried to take your place. He became close to Max. I even overheard a phone conversation between them, where his father said Leonard was his son and that he should get treatment if he wanted to remain so." I knew something was wrong with him the moment Max hired him as a lawyer for

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 112 - What Do They Know?

    Adrielle Hale Bruno didn't need surgery. But I administered an anticoagulant into his vein. There are marks on his head, as if something had hit him hard. His vital signs are good, returning to normal. He's clean, wearing clean clothes, and has just been taken to a room. Andrew, the emergency room doctor, is escorting him to the room right now. Only one thing caught my attention about Bruno: there's writing in permanent ink on his arm. The phrase sent a terrifying shiver through my body. "Keep searching, and your daughter will end up like Miss Reyes." I remember seeing her name. She's Fernando's daughter. The girl Leonard killed. It's a threat to Pedro. But it also affects me. He's threatening my daughter. I know it's Leonard, but I don't know how he found Bruno. If I remember correctly, he was also looking for Bruno this morning. I head toward the waiting room, where I asked Pedro to wait. He's sitting with his hands on his head. I enter the room and close the door. It's just

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 111 - How Did I Not Realize Something Was Wrong?

    Pedro Hernandez The sound of the ambulance echoes in my mind. Even after it sped off the street. Abby is with Minnie, inside the house. She took her the moment she realized what was happening. I feel Adie's touch on my shoulder, bringing me back to reality. My chest tightens, the shortness of breath overtakes me, and I can't breathe properly. "Baby," I hear her voice in the background. "Pedro, we have to go to the hospital." I lean forward and place my hand on my side. I gasp for air, breathing in the fresh air of the trees on our sidewalk. I can't have a seizure now. Not with everything going on. I blink a few times, trying to reorganize my thoughts as I turn to Adie. "I think you'll have to drive…" I say, massaging my chest, feeling my heart clench so hard the pain is now physical. "Come on, Pedro," Adie says, touching my face as she guides me toward the car. I take a deep breath, but my chest still feels tight. I stagger toward the passenger side. Adie gets into the driver's

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 110 - Bruno's Disappearance

    Pedro Hernandez I put the phone back on the table and sigh heavily. This is strange. Bruno never disappears like this or loses signal. I pick up my phone again and dial my mother's number. I imagine she knows where he's gone, or maybe he's actually at home, busy with something. On the third ring, she answers, and I can hear her laughter and that of my aunts on the other end. "He's really a gentleman, Sofia," I hear Aunt Margarita's voice. "Yes, he is," my mother says, before focusing on our call. "Honey. I'm sorry, your aunts and I were talking. Is everything okay?" "I need you to answer this, Mom," I reply, massaging my face. "I'm trying to reach Bruno, can you tell me where he is?" She's silent for a few moments. "I don't know where he is, honey. Bruno went out yesterday afternoon and hasn't come back yet. He told me he was coming home but he hasn't arrived yet." My mother replies. I feel uneasy, a sense of foreboding. With what's been happening these past few days, I'm alway

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 109 - Answer the Phone, Hernandez

    Pedro Hernandez I watch the woman lying beside me, her head on my chest. Things outside don't seem to affect us at the moment. It's just the two of us, snuggled up against each other, a thin blanket covering us. Our house does seem quiet, but in a good way. I gently stroke her back. I've been wondering if I should tell her about my plans involving her. Adie knows I plan to marry her, but I should tell her about the foundation in Abby's honor. I didn't just say that to say I have an ace up my sleeve, an idea for a project that will never be implemented. This project will be implemented. And I'll be very happy if it can help people who come from troubled homes, from violent families. "Your heart is racing faster than usual, my love," she comments softly. "What are you thinking about?" Adie lifts her head so she can meet my eyes. For a moment, I forgot she can hear my heartbeat. But I don't want you to think there's anything wrong, I just want you to adjust my idea if you prefer. I ta

    Adrielle Hale"That old bastard." Jackson gets up from the couch. "Your father was evil incarnate on this earth. You know what? I don't care if you're offended, but it's a good thing your old man died. Look at the shit he did, look at the lives he destroyed!" I know he's complaining to Pedro, but h
