Pedro Hernandez

The valet takes my car as soon as I get out. I make my way to the reception desk, where I see two dark-haired women with bright smiles. I barely have time to step into the lobby before I'm attacked by a wave of journalists. Their microphones are pointed in my face, and I can't process their questions.

“Mr. Hernandez, we're sorry for the loss of your father and want to know how you're coping? We know Max was an imposing and confident man, always ensuring the well-being of his fam

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 96 - The Ghost in the Room

    Pedro HernandezI take a deep breath and lower the brush, letting it touch my shirt and leave a white paint mark. It's not something I care much about right now. I leave the paints and brush in the case and straighten my posture. Abby has a desk in her room, and I lean against it as I watch Victor try to think of the best way for us to talk about this. The smell of the waves fills the room and, for a second, makes me wish he could take with him all the hurt we have, the stress we've been through, and all the pain we've faced."Terrible things." My voice is a whisper, muffled by the pain of having to constantly remember how he touched my daughter. "He has several victims. Children, Victor…" I lift my head to look at him.His eyes are wide, fixed on me. Victor's breath is labored, caused by the impact of my words. We both have small children. Two children. But only one of them was touched by that monster."He…?" I know what you want to ask, and I also know you don't have the strength to

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 95 - Cinnamon Cookies and Secrets

    Pedro HernandezIt seems the darkness enveloping Leonard and Amanda is denser than we expected. Adie and I remain silent after talking to Brooks. The only sound that reached us the entire way was silence. It seems we're both trying to assimilate that the Williamses are crueler than we expected. I tried to deprive her of this, of seeing the cruel things about the children and the other six victims, including Romina Reyes. This is even darker than I thought and only makes me think about how I need to keep them both safe, away from their actions. We haven't talked about Abby's situation, but I told Brooks we're going to file a lawsuit against him for the assault on Adrielle. I'll ask Jackson to start a new lawsuit, but I need to find the other victims' families. I know who can help me. I know that, with his connections, he'll find them quickly.We're waiting for Abby to say goodbye to my aunts, my mother, and Fernando. Meanwhile, I take the opportunity to pick up my phone and dial Victor

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 94 - Unexpected Allies

    Pedro Hernandez The streets are busy, as they are every day. Cars form lines, due to traffic jams downtown. My plan is to take a shortcut to the police station and look for less crowded routes. Adie is beside me, silent. She was like that during lunch and said very little. Fernando chattered nonstop, making me uncomfortable, always looking for something to talk about. What he said about meeting a woman from his past is still on my mind. Was he talking about my mother? We didn't bring Abby with us; we'll stop by my mother's house to pick her up. "You're quiet," I comment, glancing at Adrielle before turning back to the streets. I touch her hand and caress it. "What's going on?" "I'm fine." His voice is soft, reassuring. "I'm just thinking about Leonard's things. What's in the folder he didn't let me see." I let out a heavy sigh and stare out the window as we stop at the traffic light. My whole body shivers from trying to hide this from her. The photos I saw of the children made my

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 93 - Lies Told

    Adrielle HalePedro approaches Helena to hug her. His eyes are still focused on me. I know he must be thinking about everything I know about her. And how I can end their friendship the moment I say something, but I have no intention of doing that. Not for her, for Pedro. I don't know how he might react seeing how the person he considered his friend for seven years also manipulated him. She was here, for Amanda's last birthday, but didn't stay long."How sweet, you've become a family man." She teases him, patting his shoulder.I don't like his actions, as do his words. I can clearly see how much he resembles his mother. Amanda also has subtle actions and, in the end, stabs people in the back. I expected this from her, and Max confirmed it.Helena stares at me as she approaches with Pedro. Her eyes are fixed on mine, a touch of fear taking over her."This is Barbara, a friend from Madrid," Pedro says, stopping right next to me, his right arm wrapping around my waist. "Barb, this is Adri

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 92 - A More Than Familiar Face

    Adrielle Hale Pedro and I enter the house in silence. I know he doesn't want to dwell on the subject of Fernando, and I don't want to press the issue further. His aunts, Alejandra and Margarita, are in the living room with Sofia and Fernando. Abby is among them, chatting animatedly about the news. "Yes, Mom and I are living with my dad," she says calmly, looking at her aunts. "My dad said he's going to make an aquarium at home. And we're going to see turtles later." I give a small smile. When I look at Pedro, he also has a small smile, his eyes fixed on our daughter. "Knowing your dad, he'll try to put a turtle in the aquarium," Sofia says, with a laugh of someone who knows her son very well. We approach, and their attention turns to us, including Fernando's. "If I don't stop him, he really will put one in the aquarium." I say, as I approach. Sofia laughs before standing up and walking over to hug me. “Please, set boundaries for both of you,” she asks cheerfully. “I’m glad you

    Adrielle Hale Pedro and I go downstairs to see Abby. She's on the porch with Minnie. I try to shake the bad image that's settled over her, but I can't. She allowed Leonard to do whatever he wanted with my daughter, and did nothing to stop it. But I have to constantly remind myself that Minnie isn't the only one to blame; I should also take the blame. I was the one who left her at home—on rare occasions, but enough for this to happen—I focused on work, on the hospital's needs, trusting that my daughter was safe. Bad mother. Bad mother. I am a bad mother. "The security guards will accompany us. Go ahead. I guarantee I'll follow you this time." Pedro's voice pulls me from my consuming thoughts. I blink a few times to realize we're in the open hallway. Abby stands beside me and looks at me with mild confusion. How long have I been standing there? The two pairs of bright blue eyes stare at me, with the same confused expression, as if they know I'm not paying attention to my surroundi
