LOGINÁngela was the typical housewife married to a doctor. Everyone thought she had a perfect life. And while they weren’t wrong about the material comforts, they were completely mistaken about her marriage. Cristian, her husband, has never loved her and has never treated her well. Their union was arranged by their parents. When they married, it settled a million-dollar debt owed by Ángela’s father to her now father-in-law. She lived a monotonous life, with her only escape being her dance classes. But everything changed overnight when she discovered her husband had a mistress—and had no intention of leaving her. Out of spite, Ángela accepted a job as a Burlesque dancer at a cabaret. She also began an affair with Eduardo, the club’s owner, who turned out to be her brother-in-law and the black sheep of the family. What follows is a spiral of complications. Ángela becomes entangled in a forbidden and dangerous romance. She comes face to face with the world of organized crime. Her husband, upon learning of her infidelity, grows obsessively jealous. Along the way, she meets a friend who tries to help her escape this toxic environment. The choices Ángela makes from here on will determine the course of her future.

View MoreI thought the legal ordeal would be easier and shorter, but it wasn’t because of the intervention of the Marín de la Cruz family. They tried to build a case against me, accusing me of killing Cristian and Eduardo in cold blood. The investigation did not favor them, and I was cleared of all charges.The joy of having no legal matters pending was overshadowed by Eduardo’s death. It wasn’t sudden. Little by little, his involuntary movements diminished; his temperature kept dropping, as did his pulse and blood pressure, among other signs.I was working at Eduardo’s apartment when I received a call telling me he was in critical condition. They said I should get there quickly if I wanted to say goodbye. I grabbed my purse and ran out to the car, driving faster than usual, then rushed to the unit where my boyfriend was hospitalized.When I arrived, the doctor and medical staff were in the room. I asked them to leave me alone with Eduardo so I could say goodbye. They agreed. Once I was alone
“How much are we going to have to pay you for doing nothing?” Ricardo asked sarcastically, provoking laughter among some of the other thugs.I replied that nothing—that I was only supervising the businesses because Eduardo had asked me to—and I told them that, publicly, the one replacing my boyfriend was Ricardo, since he was the one who actually received a salary.Ricardo said he had no problem leading the management of the holding, but that it bothered him to have someone who had no idea about the business meddling in it, and he added that no one had any proof that Eduardo had asked me to look after his companies.I told him I was not willing to continue that discussion, and in a commanding tone I told everyone that they were to keep working exactly as they had until now, and that if I noticed any suspicious move I would remove them from the organization, and then I added, “And that includes you, Ricardo,” as I stared straight at Eduardo’s right-hand man in the business.I then insi
I was nervous. The prosecutor’s office had summoned me to testify again. Claudia, my lawyer, told me there was nothing to fear. She has the version in which I shot Cristian in self-defense. Neither Jane nor I have told her the truth. It is better this way. The fewer people who know the real story, the better for everyone.I arrived at the prosecutor’s office with my lawyer. He asked me about what had happened on the day my ex-husband died and my lover was left in a coma. I stuck to my version. Then he asked what my relationship with my former spouse had been like. I told him that I had decided to leave him, but that he insisted I stay with him. I reminded him that he had previously kidnapped me and that, as a result of that, I had suffered a miscarriage.Afterward, he asked me about my relationship with Eduardo. I admitted that we were lovers. I clarified that I did not know he was my brother-in-law when we began our relationship. I saw censure in the prosecutor’s eyes. Perhaps it was
“You have no business being here, bitch,” Ricardo snapped at me violently; he was Eduardo’s right-hand man in mafia affairs.As I slapped him across the face, I couldn’t stop thinking that he was right. I had always felt an aversion to my boyfriend’s illegal businesses. I had never been in charge of a group, nor had I ever worked in anything like this. I didn’t even have the proper education to be a CEO.I ordered Ricardo never to call me a bitch again or disrespect me, otherwise he would no longer be part of the organization.“First you’ll end up dead before I ever leave my job,” the deputy director of the organization said to me, glaring with hatred as he touched the cheek where he had received my slap.I stared straight into his eyes and held his gaze, telling him that even if he threatened me with death I would remain in command of the “ship,” and that anyone who dared to offend me would end up out of the organization.He glared at me with hatred and left without saying a word, sl
Eduardo began by apologizing. He told me that if he had known what kind of woman I truly was, he would have never let me work at his cabaret. That he regretted exposing me like that.I interrupted him and said I was a grown woman—and if anyone was to blame for dancing in that place, it was me. He i
The next day, I woke up to a goodbye kiss from Cristian. He was ready to head to his medical practice. After saying goodbye, I took a tranquilizer. My goal was to sleep and escape from the tangled mess my life had become. I couldn’t make sense of my husband’s sudden change in attitude. Nor could I
Several weeks went by in which everything seemed calm. My husband and I maintained a cordial relationship. Eduardo and I kept seeing each other at lunchtime. I continued at the dance academy. And Marión hadn’t tried to contact me. Everything seemed perfect—but I knew it couldn’t last.Eduardo and I
Despite my swollen eyes betraying that I had cried a lot, Cristian didn’t make the slightest effort to ask what was wrong. The only thing that mattered to him was that I had broken our unspoken rule of being home early. I told him I had met an American dancer and that, while talking about dance, we
