Pedro Hernandez

I sigh and look back at the blinds. Bruno is outside, the tow truck is leaving, as are the police cars. One of them remains parked on the other side of the street and I imagine it is keeping watch. A red car enters the garden and parks very close to the other cars. A man comes out and walks towards Bruno, to give him something and then leaves.

"I heard them say something to you. What was it?" Victor asks.

I freeze. My body freezes and my breath catches. How can I tell them that

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 119 - The Fall and the Resistance

    Adrielle Hale"What do you think about staying with your grandparents in the morning?" I ask Abby right after we finish breakfast.I don't intend to leave her at the hospital for long. I don't like her staying there; sometimes we have bad things, and I don't want her to see that. Last night was enough." Abby studies me as if she needs to decide—which I know very well she doesn't."I want to stay with Abuelita and the Mexican aunts," she answers with a cheerful smile. "Uh, Abuelo promised me he'd help me build a Lego set with almost six hundred pieces."Pedro, who was typing on his phone, lifts his head and watches her with a serious expression. He clearly dislikes Fernando, and he's even more bothered by Abby calling him "Abuelo." But he doesn't interfere, he just doesn't like it. I shift my gaze to Pedro, who watches us silently. He knows I'm waiting for some movement, and he nods his head in approval."Okay," I answer her softly. "Go get changed so we can go.""Woohoo!" Abby stands

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 118 - “You Can Marry My Mother”

    Adrielle HalePedro and I showered and then got dressed. I decided to wear beige tailored pants over my black lingerie today. I wore a black tight blouse and, over that, a shorter beige blazer. After all these years, living with Leonard or as the hospital director, I've learned that my image can't reflect the chaos I experience during my days. I need to help the patients, and they won't allow me to help if I don't look well. I grab my heels and put them on after finishing the light makeup I applied. My hair is loose around my shoulders. It's like that most of the time.I look up and see Pedro at the end of the closet, his eyes focused on me. I give a small smile, trying to understand what he's observing so intently that his mouth is slightly open. I take a few steps until I'm in front of him, close enough to touch his face, covered in the beard he trimmed as soon as we finished our showers."Is there something you didn't like?" I ask, knowing he'll probably deny it.Pedro isn't the ki

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 117 - “What Are We?”

    Adrielle HalePedro remains with his head in the crook of my neck as I stroke his hair. I've never seen him like this. His blue eyes look so scared, his chest struggles to absorb the oxygen he needs, and his hands tremble as they wrap around my body, holding me close. I told him it was okay, I'm trying to make everything okay. And that feels like something we're both trying to do.The bodies we saw, even covered by the black cloak, still haunt us. Just as it's in my mind, it's in his, a reminder that it could have happened to me.My entire body feels a chill just having that thought in my mind, a glimpse of what awaited me if I stayed in that house, married to a maniac. If he killed those women, it's no longer psychopathic; it's beyond that. I need to make sure he never comes near us again. And I know Pedro won't allow it.The last time I checked the time on my phone, it was already past four in the morning. Pedro told me he usually wakes up at three-thirty and can't sleep anymore, bu

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 116 - Until the Door Opens

    Pedro Hernandez Adie and I arrived home at almost 1 a.m. We stopped at the hospital after leaving the morgue. Neither of us understands what really happened, but Romina isn't there. We haven't told my mother and Fernando about the bodies; if one of them is his daughter's, I know she'll find out at some point. I didn't want to prolong our conversation in the car; I don't know what goes through her head every time I lose my temper. I'm more afraid of being compared to Leonard than hurting her. I would never hurt her. Minnie and Abby aren't awake. The house is dark, and we can't see anyone when I turn on the lights. I leave my keys on the corner table and take off my coat. The rain outside is getting heavier, but not with thunder, just distant flashes. I imagine the media will talk about today's events tomorrow, about the bodies, about Barbara, about Adie and me. They're already talking about us; this will only make it even more of a topic. I know they must have recognized us both wh

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 115 - When Will This Stop?

    Pedro HernandezBrooks has just removed the bodies. We gave our statements to the police. The forensic team and two other police cars are here. They really are three women, but there's no identification. I wonder why they left the bodies in a cold room for so many years. They're well preserved, but clearly bruised. I imagine that's the cause of death, and the forensic team should have something to say about it."I told you two not to come," the blond-haired woman says, a hint of impatience in her voice."They wouldn't have found the bodies without our help," I reply, keeping my right arm around Adrielle.Brooks narrows her eyes, focused on us."I'll take the bodies for autopsy." she says seriously. "And get that woman's statement."I debate whether I should mention that Barbara and Helena are the same person, but I prefer to let her take care of her mistakes. My problems are already too big to get involved in hers. And I really hope things work out, but I won't forgive her for lying a

  • 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,
