El día de nuestra boda, Leonardo Sánchez me juró que me amaría para toda la vida. Siete años después, hizo que otra mujer quedara embarazada y hasta la instaló en una mansión de maternidad que había preparado con esmero. Cuando lo descubrí, el vientre de ella ya estaba abultado, a punto de dar a luz. Él apenas se sobresaltó un instante, pero enseguida la protegió detrás de su espalda. —Camila, tú siempre tuviste miedo de ser madre. Con este hijo, la familia Sánchez tendrá un heredero y tú ya no tendrás que sufrir. —Seguiremos igual que antes, nada va a cambiar. Yo sostenía en mis manos el examen de embarazo recién confirmado y, entre lágrimas, solté una sonrisa rota. El día en que Valeria dio a luz, yo me sometí a un aborto, dejé el acuerdo de divorcio y tomé un avión rumbo a un país lejano.

Aunque el Supremo regresa para pasar sus días en paz, todos lo menospreciaron. El día de su boda, con un movimiento de su brazo, convocó a los Nueve Grandes Dioses de la Guerra, quienes se dirigieron a él como su amo...

—Señora Flores, por la revisión específica, su certificado de matrimonio contiene información falsa; el sello y la firma son falsos. Las palabras del agente, de manera ligera, dejaron a Alba Flores aturdida mientras venía a solicitar una reposición de su certificado de matrimonio. —Imposible… Mi esposo, Carlos Sainz, y yo nos casamos legalmente hace cinco años. Por favor, ¿podría verificarlo de nuevo? El agente volvió a ingresar los números de identificación de ambos para realizar la búsqueda y confirmó: —El sistema muestra que Carlos Sainz sí que está casado, pero usted está soltera. La voz de Alba temblaba al preguntar: —¿Y quién es la esposa legal de Carlos Sainz? —Laura Escanes. Alba se agarró con fuerza al respaldo de la silla, intentando mantener la compostura. Le entregaron los documentos de vuelta y las palabras “Certificado de Matrimonio” del encima brillaban, provocándole un dolor en los ojos. Al principio, Alba había pensado que podría ser un error del sistema, pero al escuchar el nombre de “Laura Escanes”, todos sus sueños se vinieron abajo de inmediato. La boda grandiosa de hace cinco años, el matrimonio ejemplar que parecía inseparable durante estos cinco años, todo aquello de lo que se sentía orgullosa, resultó falso. Alba sostenía aquel certificado falso sin ningún valor legal, regresó a casa desanimada. Justo cuando iba a abrir la puerta, escuchó voces en el interior. Era el abogado de la familia Sainz: —Señor Sainz, ya han pasado cinco años. ¿No considera otorgarle a su esposa un reconocimiento legal de su posición? Alba se detuvo y contuvo la respiración. Después de un largo silencio, la profunda voz de Carlos Sainz resonó: —Esperemos un poco más. Laura aún está trabajando en el extranjero. ¿Cómo podría mantenerse en ese mercado lleno de empresarios sin el título de la señora Sainz? El abogado familiar lo advirtió: —Su matrimonio con la señora, sólo tiene nombre, pero sin sustancia. Si ella decidiera, podría irse en cualquier momento.

Cuando llegó el momento de intercambiar los anillos en la boda, mi prometido apenas podía pronunciar el «sí, quiero». Todo porque un antiguo amor había publicado que volvía a estar soltera justo una hora antes. La foto que acompañaba el anuncio era la de un boleto de avión. Su llegada estaba prevista para dentro de una hora. De pronto, mi hermano se adelantó y, sin más, anunció frente a todos que la boda se pospondría. Los dos, bien organizados, me dejaron plantada ahí, en medio de todas las miradas, convirtiéndome en la burla de todos. Yo me mantuve tranquila, mientras veía cómo la exnovia de mi prometido actualizaba su Instagram. En la foto aparecían mi hermano y él, junto a ella, dándole todo lo que se suponía que era para mí. Sonreí con tristeza, respiré hondo, y marqué el número de mis verdaderos padres. —Papá, mamá —dije—, estoy lista para volver a casa… y aceptar el compromiso con la familia Moulin.
