Sara watched as Emiliano jumped to the side, dodging Ezequiel’s next shot. He took cover behind the door. The second man who had come up with Emiliano ran toward him, trying to shoot him, but another bullet striking his shoulder sent him tumbling down the stairs.

Sara braced herself against the wall and pushed. The pellets from the bullets whizzed over her head. When she fell, the wooden chair broke, and the backrest jabbed into her ribs, but she didn’t care. She shifted, and the splintered pie

  • The CEO’s Lost Wife   THE END.

    Sara didn’t feel anger at Luna’s confession, nor did she feel pleasure at seeing her so distressed in front of her. She reached out and grabbed Luna’s hand tightly. The woman tried to pull away, but Sara held on."Let me guess—Mario?" Sara asked, and Luna nodded."He told me you were cheating on Emiliano. He lied to me and manipulated me. That’s why I hired a prostitute to pretend she had slept with him. I didn’t even know how they drugged him.""You’re the woman who appeared in the security footage wearing the motorcycle helmet, right?"Luna nodded."You have no idea how heavily this has weighed on me all these years. When you returned to Casa Monter, I was afraid—that’s why I behaved so hostilely. I was afraid you knew the truth. I was afraid my brother would expose me."Sara squeezed the woman’s hand even tighter."It’s not your fault. It’s Mario’s fault. He was the one who manipulated us, the one who used us. I’m truly sorry you had to go that far. But the important thing is that

    Sara watched as Emiliano jumped to the side, dodging Ezequiel’s next shot. He took cover behind the door. The second man who had come up with Emiliano ran toward him, trying to shoot him, but another bullet striking his shoulder sent him tumbling down the stairs.Sara braced herself against the wall and pushed. The pellets from the bullets whizzed over her head. When she fell, the wooden chair broke, and the backrest jabbed into her ribs, but she didn’t care. She shifted, and the splintered pieces of wood that held her to the chair began to give way, freeing her.Sara stood up, barefoot, exhausted, and afraid. In the distance she spotted a metal pipe and grabbed it."Where do you think you’re going, bitch?" Ezequiel shouted at her.But Sara managed to take refuge behind a wall before the man could shoot her. The bullets shattered the concrete beside her. Ezequiel fired wildly in every direction. The sound of the helicopter was growing louder and louder. Sara saw a couple more men comi

    Sara felt a knot of unease in her stomach when she saw Emiliano climbing the stairs. She knew why Ezequiel wanted him there. She knew he wanted to kill him. She didn’t understand the reasons or the why behind it, but he would do it.She was nothing more than bait, and Emiliano had fallen into his game. When the man looked at her, she shook her head vehemently. She wanted to scream at him to run, but the gag was firmly wedged in her mouth. She began pushing it with her tongue while the men had a short conversation. She needed to get it off, needed to shout at him to run, but it was already too late.Ezequiel pulled out the gun, pointing it toward the floor, but gripping it tightly in his hand."I want your life," he said to Emiliano.Her husband lifted his head. Thinking of him that way made the knot in her stomach tighten even more. Her husband—he was her husband because legally he was, because she wanted him to be, because they had never even divorced. Thinking of him as her husband

    Emiliano gripped his phone tightly and took a step back, moving away from the ambulance. Jimena watched him carefully. The caller ID said it was Ezequiel, his father-in-law—or rather, his former father-in-law. Emiliano felt a strange sensation in his stomach, like a bad omen."This is impossible," he said, and then answered the call. "What do you want?" he asked with a hint of impatience.On the other end, Ezequiel let out a laugh."Surprise," he said. "I think this little game ends today."Emiliano grabbed hold of the pole beside him to keep from losing his balance."So it was you. All this time, it was always you."Ezequiel sighed deeply on the other end of the line."It seems to me that you’re far too naive. It was really easy to divert the attention toward my daughter.""She’s a monster—why did you do this to her?" The man laughed again."She’ll forgive me. She’s my daughter. Everything I do, I do for her own good.""Trying to murder me is for her own good?" Emiliano shouted. "Kid

    Emiliano knew in that instant that the feeling tormenting him would stay with him for the rest of his life. It was a visceral, deep fear, something instinctive. It was nothing like any fear he had felt before; not even during the attack in which they had almost taken his life had he felt such a sensation of emptiness. It was as if he had jumped from several kilometers high toward certain death.“Sir, are you still there?” the man from his security team asked. “I’m telling you that Mrs. Sara has just been kidnapped.”It took Emiliano a long second to understand what was happening, to comprehend what those words meant. When everything came back to him, it struck his chest with such force that he collapsed onto the couch. He had not even realized at what moment he had stood up.“What happened?” he shouted into the phone, terrified.“She had just finished speaking with Mrs. Lara when some men intercepted them. They had a grenade. They blew up our vehicle. Most of the men died and they too

  • The CEO’s Lost Wife   43. Who Is the Enemy?

    Sara crawled underneath the truck. She believed it was the only way she had to escape the gunfire. She dragged Jimena with her. The woman groaned in pain, but apparently the bullet had also left an exit wound. Sara hoped it had not damaged any vital organs. Even so, she pressed hard against the hole where the blood was pouring out, and the woman took her phone, pressed a couple of keys, and then let it fall to the side.“I already called the police. They’ll be here in a few minutes.”“Who are those men?” Sara asked. The gunfire was still intense. The pellets from the bullets ricocheted off the pavement and struck the metal of the car above their heads.“Some of them are from Emiliano’s security team. He sent them after us because he didn’t trust Lara. But the others—I don’t know who they are.”Sara heard the sound of something falling to the ground, something metallic. Then a powerful explosion hurled the truck belonging to the men who had arrived to defend them to the side.The explo
