"Ana, please, you need to be calm.""Calm down." I laugh sarcastically and a tear runs down my cheek. "A girl I don't know is calling me auntie and him." I point at him."He lied to me." My voice breaks from crying, I'm disappointed, upset and hurt that Andrew made fun of me."Ana, sis, let me explain.""Shut up." I yell at her so loudly that I regret it when I see the girl running away from me. "Clara, honey, I'm sorry, auntie's not that bad, I'm just a little hurt." I can't help but cry."You hate me auntie, you don't even love me to daddy, you saw daddy, she wouldn't accept me, I told you that". The little girl begins to cry and I hug her."I accept you sweetheart, right Gabriel." He smiles at her and nods. "But the aunt needs time to accept that she has such a beautiful child as a niece, Gabriel, you can take the child to the table with the others.""I will come back, Clara, you will accompany me.""Yes, Uncle Gabriel, I wanted to meet you too."I hear them talking to each other a
When I left my room to go down to the dining room, my feet bumped against something or rather someone, my eyes ran over the beautiful flower dress I was visiting, Clara, my brother and Claudio's daughter, who was sitting on the floor, her face was between her hands, she looked bored... ...."Clara, why are you sitting on the floor?" I called to her, she heard my voice, looked up with a big smile and stood up."Uncle Gabriel told me where your room was, he said I could wait for you downstairs, but he was afraid it was too far away from Daddy and me." For a seven-year-old, the little girl could say things that made my heart ache. "Are you going away?""No, I'm home, honey, I can't go anywhere.""Then you'll come down and send us away.""Clara." I call her, annoyed by her persistent question."I'm not going to throw you out of the house, who said that?""Daddy said if you don't accept Daddy the way he is, we have to leave this house without dinner.""Daddy?""Yes, I call my father Claudi
When I get to the dining room everyone is in their seats, on the right side my in-laws, Marcela, Rafa on the left side my brother with his family, Carlos and Natalia are sitting next to the beautiful little girl who looks at me with emotion, she excitedly calls for me to sit down and I do, I sit next to my mother-in-law who asks me if I feel better, I tell her it was just a headache, no importance.Dinner is finally served, everyone laughs at the things the girl says, there seems to be no filter to stop her curiosity or her sincere words, you all know who they are in my brother's life and no one has an opinion on the subject, everything is normal and I'm glad to know that a news like tonight's has not overshadowed our happiness."Everyone gives us a little of your attention." Gabriel asks, getting up from his seat. "Ana and I would like to tell you some news.""You're not going to say you want a divorce, are you?" Gabriel's mother holds her hand to her chest, I know she is very concer
When she met Carlos, the first thing her mother did was to accuse him of raping her daughter, the poor guy had a hard time in jail, but her father Nata helped him get out, still Carlos didn't leave their relationship and kept fighting for her, today they live together since they were three months old, because that's how Natalia is, she's not afraid of risks, to see her now scared for a simple fear of being a mother was not like her.We went back to the living room and we had a good time between me and the boys, Clara had fallen asleep after the shower, Natalia and I had put her pajamas on, my brother said goodbye to everyone and left the living room with Claudio, my father-in-law also went home and shortly after we were Fabio, Gabriel and I in the living room.Valeria, Fabio's girlfriend, had not come, she had said that they had argued for some reason that she did not explain, but I was sure that Gabriel knew the reason, shortly after he went to the guest room that Gabriel had prepare
The one who did all this set a dirty trap for me and I fell into it like a complete idiot, I had run to Sonia's call because I wanted to know the truth about her whereabouts and why she had disappeared before, why she was coming back now, but none of that mattered anymore because now she was dead.Someone killed her and set me up to make it look like it was me who hurt her, no such thing ever crossed my mind, yes, I was angry and I hated her because she could not accept the fact that we left each other, but to kill her was never in my mind. When I entered the police station, they took me to a secluded room, there was only a table, two chairs and a video camera."You have to wait here for your lawyer," said the policeman, whose last name I could read on his right chest, Red."Wait, why am I here?""You are here for the murder of Ms. Sonia Gonzalez."His words shocked me, "Murder! Who killed her? I did, they thought I was the murderer.When the detective came back, I was about to fall a
The night was very long for me, I was not sleepy, Martin stayed with me so as not to leave me alone. Around one o'clock in the morning they took me out of the interrogation room and took me to an office where I could rest my body on the sofa, between the police and I began to investigate the clues I had in my hands, I called Ana again to rest. I talked to her until three in the morning. When she fell asleep, I went back to work.The detective I had hired was off duty, I couldn't get in touch with him, the last job I gave him was to investigate Lian, but I still hadn't heard from him.The next morning, I was released, my father and mother were waiting outside, I asked them to talk to me later and to let me go home as soon as possible. Rafa took me home and as soon as I got out of the car, I ran to look for Ana, I went to the bedroom but she was nowhere to be found, I heard noises in the bathroom and found her leaning over the toilet."Honey, what's wrong with her?" I tried to speak thr
I asked Rafa, Andres and my father to accompany me to a secluded place to talk to them, I told them what the doctor had told me, I told them about the beginning of the abortion and the drugs that Ana had taken, that we still didn't know how she had done it, but she had done it and all we had to do was wait for her to wake up, it made me happy to know that the baby was fine and so was Ana. I ask Rafa for a detailed report on the life of each of the boys, I know that they were already checked when they entered the house, but some of them may have fallen for the temptation of easy money and let someone into the house or put the drug themselves in something that Ana took. The other point is that the boys almost never came to the house, only when they went to eat, they had rules for themselves.I tell Andres what happened yesterday morning before I left the house and he tells me that he will talk to the girl first so as not to scare her, because I am not saying that the girl is to blame, b
Gabriel’s POVThe noise in the room wakes me up when I open my eyes, my eyes burn as I get used to the light in the room again, Ana is awake in bed and the doctor is next to her."You're awake, Mr. Gabriel." The doctor gives me a small smile. "When I came in Ana was already awake, I tell her that we will remove the oxygen and then I will come in to do more tests. Okay?""Very well doctor, thank you." I position myself next to Ana to take her hand, she is fully awake and the oxygen mask is under her chin. "Hello, my little princess.""Gabriel..." Her voice is raspy, so I grab a glass of water and a straw so she can drink some and her throat won't hurt when she talks. "My baby... how is he? My baby Gabriel." I put the glass on the table next to the bed and hug him as he starts to cry."Easy sweetie, our baby is fine, he or she is fighting hard to come into the world honey." I wipe away her tears as I hug and kiss her. "It's okay honey, it was just a scare, but our baby is fine.""Why di
