Cresci fora do país. Com medo de eu arrumar um genro estrangeiro, a minha mãe resolveu me arranjar um noivo bonito e talentoso em São Paulo, e me chamou de volta para o noivado. Quando fui à Boutique de Luxo escolher meu vestido de noivado, eu me encantei por um vestido longo tom creme, tomara que caia. Quando me preparei para experimentá-lo, uma mulher olhou de soslaio para o vestido em minhas mãos e disse à atendente: — Esse modelo é bem diferente, deixa eu experimentar. A atendente, com ação brusca, arrancou o vestido das minhas mãos. Eu, indignada, disse: — Cada coisa tem sua ordem! Eu vi esse vestido primeiro, vocês ainda têm noção de justiça? Mas ela me olhou com desprezo e respondeu: — Esse vestido custa 188 mil. Você, uma pobretona, consegue pagar isso? — Eu sou irmã de consideração de Eduardo Monteiro, presidente do Grupo Monteiro. Em São Paulo, quem decide o que é “justo” é só a Família Monteiro! Que coincidência! Eduardo Monteiro é meu noivo. Imediatamente liguei para Eduardo: — Sua irmã de consideração acabou de roubar meu vestido de noivado. Como você vai resolver isso?

Lo que debía ser un viaje tranquilo con mi suegra se convirtió en una pesadilla. Tras llegar al hotel, fuimos juntas a la piscina del lugar a relajarnos. Sin embargo, una mujer elegantemente vestida se nos acercó, tapándose la nariz y con total desprecio nos dijo: —Este es un hotel de lujo, ¿cómo es posible que haya gente como ustedes aquí? No serán esas personas que se cuelan para usar la piscina, ¿verdad? ¡Es un asco compartir la piscina con ustedes! Me da miedo que nos contagien alguna enfermedad. Mi suegra y yo nos sentimos muy incómodas por sus palabras, pero aún así le respondí, indiferente: —La piscina del hotel es pública , todos los huéspedes pueden usarla. Si no te parece bien, construye una en tu casa. La mujer, furiosa, levantó las cejas y, gritando, dijo: —¿Te atreves a responderme? ¿Sabes quién es mi esposo? Este hotel es de él, y la suite más cara siempre ha sido mía. ¡Les ordeno que se larguen inmediatamente! Huelen a pobreza y han contaminado el agua. ¡Qué asco! Mi suegra y yo nos miramos y, al instante, pudimos ver el mismo desprecio en nuestros ojos. Este hotel es propiedad de Nicolás, ¿en qué momento se convirtió él en el esposo de esa mujer?

Mi novio, Pablo Pimentel, es el heredero de la familia más poderosa de la capital. Su fortuna supera los cien mil millones de dólares. Para ponerme a prueba, durante siete años de relación, nunca me regaló nada, nunca gastó un solo centavo en mí. Ni siquiera cuando iba a comprar condones: insistía en pagar mitad y mitad. Después, mi madre se enfermó de gravedad. Les pedí dinero a todos los familiares y amigos que pude. Solo me faltaban dos mil dólares para cubrir el costo de la cirugía. Le supliqué, le rogué. Pero Pablo no me prestó ni un dólar. Tuve que pagar yo sola los gastos del funeral de mi madre. Cuando regresé a casa para recoger mis cosas, encontré por casualidad una lista de regalos que le había comprado a Sara García: una villa de lujo, bolsos de marcas exclusivas, joyas valoradas en cientos de millones de dólares… También vi los audios en el grupo con sus amigos: "Pablo, ¿es cierto que Leticia se arrodilló para pedirte dos mil dólares?" Pablo se rió con frialdad, su voz sonó despreocupada, casi divertida. "Sara tenía razón: quien se arrodilla por tan poco dinero no es más que una interesada. Apenas llevamos siete años juntos y ya está desesperada por sacarme dinero." Resultó que siete años de "prueba" no valieron más que un comentario venenoso de su vecinita de al lado. No importa. Desde el momento en que mi madre murió, ya lo había decidido: desaparecer de su vida para siempre.
