The morning light came into Ximena’s room. It was soft and quiet. She sat by the window, holding a cup of hot coffee. The coffee was dark and strong. It warmed her cold hands. Outside, the city was waking up slowly. Cars moved on the streets. People walked to work. But inside Ximena, her heart was not calm. It was full of many feelings. She felt nervous and scared. She also felt a little hope. But she did not understand that hope yet.

She thought about last night. She thought about Miguel. They had talked. They had not shouted or fought. They had talked like two people who needed each other. Like two people who had to be together, even if they did not want to be. It was strange and new. But it felt real.

Ximena’s phone buzzed on the table. She looked at it. It was a message from Carlos, Miguel’s assistant.

She answered the call quickly. “Hello, Carlos.”

“Good morning,” Carlos said. His voice was serious. “We are observing your office. The men we saw near your building are still there.

    The apartment was quiet. Ximena stood by the window. Her arms were crossed. She looked at the city lights. The street lamps made her face look pale. Miguel was behind her. He leaned on the table and watched her. Neither said a word.Suddenly, the phone on the couch buzzed. They both turned their heads. Ximena walked slowly to the phone. She picked it up and read the message. Her eyes got sharp.“It’s Carlos,” she said quietly.Miguel moved closer. “What did he say?”Ximena showed him the phone. The message said: Meet me tomorrow. Alone.Miguel shook his head. “No. You can’t go alone.”Ximena did not answer. She put the phone down. She rubbed her forehead. “If I don’t go, he might disappear. Then we lose everything.”Miguel stepped in front of her. “And if you go, you might not come back.” His voice was firm, but his eyes showed worry.Ximena lowered her hands. “I know the risks.”They looked at each other for a moment. Miguel’s jaw tightened. He wanted to argue, but he saw she had dec

    Ximena sat still. The phone felt heavy in her hand. Her fingers shook. She looked at the screen again and again. The message said only five words:I know what you did.The message was short, but it hit her like a blow. Her heart beat fast and hard. The room felt smaller. The air felt thick, hard to breathe.Miguel sat next to her. He looked at her face. He did not say anything at first. But she felt his eyes on her like a weight. He leaned forward a little, watching her closely, as if he could see the fear inside her.“What does it say?” he asked in a quiet voice.Ximena swallowed hard. Her throat felt tight. “It says... they know what I did.”Miguel’s eyes became sharp. “Who sent it?”“I don’t know. No name. No number I know.”He held out his hand. “Let me see.”She gave him the phone slowly. She watched his face while he read. At first, he did not react. Then his jaw tightened. His eyes became cold. He gave her back the phone and said, “This could be Carlos. Or someone working for h

    Ximena held her phone in her hand. Her fingers felt cold. She looked at the screen again. She read the short message one more time. It had only a few words, but it felt heavy inside her chest.Miguel sat next to her. He watched her closely. The room was tranquil. Outside, the wind pushed against the windows. The glass made a soft rattling sound.“What does it say?” Miguel asked. His voice was calm, but his eyes were not calm.Ximena swallowed hard. She did not want to speak the words. If she said them out loud, they would be real. She turned the phone toward him so he could see.Miguel read the message. His jaw became tight. He stayed still for a moment. Then he looked at her again. “Who sent this?”She hesitated. “I… I think it’s from Carlos. But I am not sure if it is really him.”Miguel frowned. “It is his number?”“Yes,” she whispered. “But something feels wrong.”Miguel reached for the phone. She gave it to him. He reread the message, slower this time. “Meet me. Alone. Midnight.

    The sun was coming up. Ximena’s phone buzzed again. She hadn’t slept much as her mind was full of last night’s memories. Carlos’s message that made her heart beat fast.“We need to talk. It’s urgent.” That was all the message conveyed.Ximena rubbed her tired eyes. She sat up and looked at the ceiling. She didn’t know if she was more tired or more scared. Her fingers stayed on the phone. Then she typed:I’m coming down now.When she got to the kitchen, Carlos was there. He was leaning on the counter. He didn’t look calm like usual. He looked serious. Ximena felt her stomach tighten.“You look tired,” he said softly. It was not really a question.Ximena shrugged and poured coffee. “I didn’t sleep well.”Carlos nodded. Then he showed her a picture on his phone.Ximena frowned. The picture was blurry. It showed a man across the street from her office. The man was not hiding. He stood still, watching.“Do you know him?” she asked. Her heart beat fast.Carlos shook his head. “No. But he ha

But inside, she felt stuck.Her phone buzzed on the kitchen counter. She looked down. It was Carlos. She opened his message.“Miguel just arrived at the mansion. Engagement starts in an hour.”I'mThe message was short. No feelings. Just facts.Ximena put the phone down slowly. The word “engagement” hit her hard. Miguel. Her ex-husband. The man who had kept her tied to a cold, empty marriage for three years. And now, he promised to marry Tania Roberto—the woman who had caused her so much pain.She breathed out slowly. It wasn’t just the ceremony she was scared of. It was everything that came with it—the fake smiles, the gossip, the silent fights hidden behind fancy glasses.Ximena walked to the mirror. She looked at herself carefully. Her blonde hair was tied back loosely. A few strands hung down softly. He
