Cuando Sergio Ximénez, el presidente del Grupo Ximénez, quedó discapacitado tras un accidente y anunció públicamente que buscaba matrimonio, la noticia conmocionó a toda la Capital. Mi padre subió mis datos de inmediato. —Ya que insistes en romper con Hugo Suárez, ve a intentar congraciarte con la familia Ximénez. Me negué rotundamente. Cuando intenté quitarle el celular, me abofeteó con fuerza: —No lo decides tú. Acorralada, no tuve más remedio que buscar la ayuda de Hugo, solo él podía hacer que mi padre cambiara de opinión. Pero, sin querer, escuché su conversación. —Tranquilo, Sr. Suárez. Sergio es un inválido, Serena, con su orgullo, seguro que lo desprecia. En poco tiempo vendrá llorando a suplicar por volver.

Era como si me hundiera en un abismo de hielo. Resulta que siempre había estado parada sobre las mentiras, sin nadie a mi lado. Hasta que la familia Ximénez realmente me seleccionó, ellos sí entraron en pánico.
