Papá Cásate Con Mamá

On my 50th wedding anniversary, I took my worn, crumbling marriage certificate to City Hall to renew it. The clerk glanced at it—and froze. “This certificate is fake. Our records show you’ve never been married.” I stared. “Impossible. I’ve been married to Damien Slater for fifty years.” The clerk pulled up his file. “Well…Yes, Mr. Slater is married—but his wife’s name is Vanessa Grant.” Vanessa. His widowed sister-in-law. A military doctor who’d spent decades living among the troops. My hands shook as I returned home and confronted Damien. He didn’t even try to deny it. “I’ve treated you well all these years. Isn’t that enough? Vanessa is my true love. I only ever wanted her—our children, our life.” My son counseled me and said, “To spare your feelings, my parents kept it a secret their whole lives. You’re getting old now. What more do you want?” Only then did I learn the truth. The child I had raised with my own hands was never mine by blood. Decades ago, Vanessa and I gave birth on the same day. To ensure her child would grow up with intellect, privilege, and a future that I could provide, Damien switched our children. My own son? Damien drowned him in the pond the moment he drew breath. And I—fool that I was—raised Vanessa’s boy as my own. I even got him all the way to Claremont University. The truth broke me, and I collapsed. When I opened my eyes again—I was back. Back to the day I went into labor.

He snaked his arm around my waist and pressed my body against his. I stiffened in his hold, frozen with fear, anger, and a strange desire pulsing through my veins. “I’m Dante Romero, sweetheart.” His voice was low with a dangerously seductive edge, and I flushed with heat. “There are a lot of things I would dare that are beyond your imagination.” Dante tilted his head, placing his sinfully enticing lips above my ear. “I’m giving you a choice, Olivia: move in with me or get ready to never see your boys again.” ~~ Five years after a blurry one-night stand that led to a major sex scandal, Olivia Miller returns to Los Angeles with her triplet sons to start a new, peaceful life.

Mi hermano adoptivo Mateo Alves y yo mantuvimos un romance secreto durante diez años. El día que decidimos hacerlo público, él recibió una misión de infiltración en Kinsyn, una tarea casi suicida. La noche antes de partir, me abrazó y prometió: —Si regreso con vida, te haré una boda espléndida, nunca nos separaremos. Por él, rompí con mi familia. Esperé como una tonta, convirtiéndome en el hazmerreír de toda la alta sociedad. Tres años después, él regresó. Pero volvió desacreditado, cargado de deudas, arrodillándose ante mi padre como un pobre insecto. Dijo con palabras firmes: —Papá, le prometí a Antonella cuidarla el resto de su vida. Detrás de él, una chica llamada Antonella Flores se escondía con las manos apretadas sobre su vientre embarazado. Mi padre me miró instintivamente.
