Desesperada, tomé la decisión de marcharme y poner fin a toda relación con Mateo. Pero cuando desaparecí por completo de su vida, ese hombre comenzó a buscarme por todas partes como un loco.

Note- this is an omegaverse where men gives birth- A marriage signed in blood. A poisoner in a silk suit. And the lie that could burn an empire to the ground. Santiago Rivera is the cold-blooded Don of Rivera Global. He doesn’t do love, and he certainly doesn't do mercy. But to seize the North Atlantic shipping routes and bury the rival Cruz family forever, he needs a husband. When Eduardo Cruz offers up his most chaotic, scandal-ridden grandson as a blood-sacrifice, Santiago takes the bait. He expects a puppet. He expects a brat. He doesn't expect a man who tastes like danger and looks like a prayer. Lanka Cruz is living a dead man’s life. Forced to wear his cousin’s name and hide his own identity, he’s trapped in a den of wolves. To the world, he’s the "Devil of Coral Gables"—a drug-addled socialite with a trail of bodies in his wake. In reality, he’s a painter caught in a mafia crossfire, forced into a marriage with the one man powerful enough to execute him if the truth ever leaks. The rules were simple: Stay in the penthouse. Play the part. Never let the Rivera Don under your skin. But in the humid heat of Miami, the lines between a merger and a murder begin to blur. Santiago is hungry for the truth, and Lanka is starving for a touch that isn't a threat. As the Rivera family circles like sharks and the ghosts of Lanka’s past come screaming for blood, the only thing more dangerous than the lie is the heat between them.

A quince días de la boda, Santiago Velasco y yo tuvimos una pelea feroz. La razón no era otra: él quería tener un hijo con la hija de su profesor. —Solo iremos a hacer una fertilización in vitro, no hay nada entre nosotros —dijo con una calma que me heló hasta los huesos—. El profesor está muy enfermo, lo único que desea es ver a Valeria con alguien que la apoye en el futuro. —¿Y tú? —le reproché—. Nos casamos en quince días y tú vas a tener un hijo con otra mujer. ¿No te parece absurdo? Vi cómo Santiago cerraba la puerta de un portazo y, sin pensarlo, publiqué en mis redes: "Boda en quince días, busco un novio nuevo, ¿alguien se apunta?"

Durante cinco años, Santiago Rodríguez y Valeria Núñez vivieron juntos bajo un matrimonio por conveniencia. Incluso después de descubrir que él tenía una amante, ella decidió aguantar la situación con paciencia. Pero todo cambió cuando se dio cuenta de que el niño que había estado criando como suyo era, en realidad, fruto de la relación entre Santiago y su amante. En ese momento, entendió que su matrimonio había sido una farsa desde el primer día. La amante, actuando como si fuera la esposa legítima, se presentó en su casa con los documentos de divorcio que Santiago había redactado. Justo ese día, Valeria se enteró de su embarazo. Si su esposo había sido corrompido, ya no tenía sentido estar con él. Y si el niño era de la amante, entonces debía dejárselo. Valeria, terminando con el amor y las emociones, reveló su verdadera naturaleza y se enfocó en prosperar económicamente. Aquellas personas que la maltrataron anteriormente se iban a lamentar de sus acciones e iban a luchar entre sí para ganar su perdón. Los jóvenes ricos, que se burlaron de ella por ascender socialmente mediante un hombre, se arrepentían y le ofrecían grandes sumas de dinero buscando su amor. Y el pequeño que había sido influenciado por la otra mujer se lamentaba rogándole que fuera su mamá mientras lloraba. * A altas horas de la noche, Valeria atendió una llamada de un número desconocido. Por el auricular escuchó la voz de Santiago, era evidente que estaba borracho. —Valeria, no debes aceptar esa propuesta de matrimonio. En cuanto a los documentos de divorcio… No los he firmado.

The night before my wedding, my mom got into a car accident—she needed a blood transfusion, fast. Her blood type was rare. Mine matched. I was pregnant, but I didn't think twice. I donated. While I was bleeding out, losing my baby, my fiancé, Joffrey Habsburg, and his brother—my so-called childhood friend—Mateo, were busy holding Nancy's hand during her cosmetic surgery. I begged Joffrey to save my mom. Only then did he bother to pick up a scalpel. When it was over, he said, "Surgery failed. She's gone." Two days later, I overheard Nancy purring through the door, wrapped around the Habsburg brothers. "Mateo really is a racer—he hit that old hag dead on. And Joffrey? You were amazing too, making sure she didn't survive the surgery. Thanks to you both, I got Lori's blood for my operation."

Aquel día, en nuestro quinto aniversario de boda, recibí una llamada. Era el encargado del fondo familiar: le avisaba que una de las piezas almacenadas estaba por vencer y debía retirarla cuanto antes. Mi esposo, Mateo Fuentes, también conocido como el jefe de la mafia, estaba tan ocupado que ni siquiera se tomó un minuto para pensarlo. Así que decidí ir yo a recoger la caja. Dentro encontré un rollo de película antigua. El responsable me advirtió que, si no la revelaba pronto, el material se estropearía con el tiempo. Cuando por fin la revelé, cada fotografía mostraba a Mateo con Elsa Lara, su primer amor, sonriendo de una forma tan dulce que me dejó sin aliento. Y en todos sus álbumes, ni una sola foto mía. De repente, la puerta de la oficina se abrió de golpe. Mateo entró alterado, visiblemente molesto, y preguntó con impaciencia: —¿Anita Silva, estás revisando mi privacidad? Lo miré con calma. No grité, no pregunté nada. Solo dije: —Divorcémonos. Su expresión se endureció. Sin decir una palabra, tomó las fotos y las metió en la trituradora. Cuando el ruido cesó, se giró hacia mí y soltó: —Ya las destruí. ¿Y aun así quieres divorciarte? Una sonrisa amarga se me escapó. —Sí.
