Eduardo was so attentive and loving toward me that he made me forget his illicit activities and the people who surrounded him. At times I felt so happy to have someone so gentle by my side, someone who said he loved me. I even began to question whether I was falling in love with him.

That infatuation shattered instantly at any detail that reminded me of his role as the head of a mafia. I began to feel paranoid. I believed that he, his people, or his enemies could kill me at any moment. And immediately afterward I would panic. I couldn’t breathe, my heart raced, and I feared for my life.

While I was hospitalized, Eduardo stayed by my side almost all the time. He only stepped away when he went to his apartment to shower or went out to eat something. During those periods, Jane was usually the one who stayed with me. They both treated me very well.

I did not tell my friend about Eduardo’s shady dealings; even so, she did not like him at all. She said her sixth sense warned her that he was

    I 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 is in a coma. After I kissed him and told him I loved him, he lost consciousness. I reacted badly. I began screaming hysterically. When the medical staff arrived, they asked me to leave the room. At first I refused. Finally, I came to my senses.When I calmed down, I went to see Jane. She was still hospitalized at the clinic. She was having panic attacks and was in severe shock. She was going to spend the night there, and depending on her progress, she would be discharged the next day.Then I went back to see Eduardo. After insisting for a long time, they finally let me in. He looked like a sleeping prince, and I kissed him gently, thinking he would wake up like in fairy tales. He did not. He remained in a coma.I went to Eduardo’s apartment. I barely slept. The day had been extremely intense. My only friend had been tortured by the man who was once my husband. He had also tried to kill my boyfriend, who was now in critical condition because of the gunshot wounds he had suffer

    —Come alone to our house or I’ll kill your friend the way I killed Eduardo—I received this message from Cristian from an unknown number.I had returned to work that day, and it was strange that Jane hadn’t arrived at the school. Several of us were worried about her. She always let us know when she was going to be late. We had tried to contact her, but she wasn’t answering her phone.I called her, and to my horror my ex-husband answered. He told me to come immediately and not to call the police; otherwise, he would kill Jane and then kill himself. I begged him not to hurt her and promised that I would go alone.I called Eduardo and he did not answer his phone. He always answered my calls, no matter what he was doing. It was a very bad omen that he wasn’t responding. I called his office, and his secretary was surprised that I didn’t know he had been hospitalized after an attack he suffered.I grabbed my purse and ran out into the street. The first thing I did was confront my guards for
