CHAPTER 36. UNVEILING
We arrived at the Barcelona "Joseph Tarradellas Airport located twelve kilometers southwest of the city, after landing we went to the cab zone and in half an hour we were arriving at my parents' house.When I entered the house, my brothers Enrique, Juan and my parents were gathered, and when they saw me, they could not hide their sad faces. My mother had a few tears that she hastily wiped away, thinking that I had not noticed.None of them said hello and neither did we because the atmosphere was one of desolation and tension that did not go unnoticed.Mauro was the first to speak,“ What's going on, why those faces?"“ Yesterday, Nick took possession of our construction company," Enrique began to speak while my tears began to spill out of my eyes and I felt my heart beaten because I knew what my brother would say. He demanded the payment of the loans he had made to the company, but since we did not have liquidity we could not respond to him, and so he initiated the sale of part of the
CHAPTER 37. DISCOVERY
Oh, my God! I couldn't believe I had made a mistake like that, I felt my blood run cold in my veins when I saw the third name, “It can't be! “I exclaimed in despair.I reviewed the subsequent reports, the photographs, my heart squeezed when I saw the truth exposed before me. I was shocked, terrified, I continued reading the file that had been sent to me the day I ran Sophia out of my house where they mentioned Mauro Madrid.At that time, I did not read because as soon as I saw the photos, I was blinded by anger and the day of the discussion she was going to tell me, but I did not want to listen to her, it could not be! Mauro was not her lover, but her brother Andrecito.What in God's name had I done? I destroyed my wife, the woman who loved her family, just because of some damn jealousy that blinded me when all the evidence was clearly laid out before me and I didn't even take the time to read those damn reports, I was so damn stupid!I was too disappointed with myself, so much boasti
CHAPTER 38. GUILT
When I saw her convulsing, I immediately carried her to the couch, while Dante called an emergency number for an ambulance. Eleven minutes later, the emergency team was already arriving at the building. I asked for her to be transferred to the Barcelona Private Health Hospital. Mauro left in the ambulance, while the rest of us left in our respective cars.When we arrived at the hospital, Sophia had already been admitted. We all sat in the waiting room, impatiently waiting for a doctor to come out and give us the diagnosis. A while later, which in truth had seemed like hours, a man in a white coat appeared in front of us.“Family members of Miss Sophia Madrid? “After indicating that we were her relatives, the doctor went on.“The young woman has bacterial meningitis, caused by listeria monocytogenes," he explained at length. The patient only asks persistently that they please save her child, and that if it is necessary to sacrifice someone, it should be her."Gentlemen, we are evaluati
CHAPTER 39. THE BEATING
When I fell to the ground crying because of remorse, I didn't care that everyone saw me; those who say that men don't cry, perhaps they haven't loved, haven't felt or suffered the weight of guilt. The security guard approached me and helped me up.“Calm down, sir, go to the clinic where I told you and have faith that everything will be fine.I thanked him in a barely perceptible tone, I was afraid, in pain, there were so many emotions that for the first time I let them control me; kindly the security guard escorted me out, I did not want to move in my car because I felt too affected and could cause an accident, so I took a cab and gave him the name of the clinic where he took me quickly.I had the terrible feeling that anguish was gripping my chest. When I arrived at the hospital, I asked for information and identified myself as Sophia Madrid's husband.There I was briefed on his condition and every word they said to me felt like I was piling more weight on my back, I ran my hand thro
CHAPTER 40. INTRIGUE
I sat on the floor thinking that I was reaping what I had sown, how could I have behaved that way? I was in these thoughts when the doctor came out.“ Where are the relatives of patient Sophia Madrid? “he asked.When we signaled, the doctor came over and informed us: "We cannot perform the cesarean section because the baby's lungs are not fully mature, he is only thirty” two weeks old. Besides, the mother is anemic with a hemoglobin level of five, so she would not be able to withstand the operation. We are giving her a course of intravenous antibiotics and cortisone medication, and we have also given her iron and folic acid. The next twenty” four hours are crucial for Sophia and her baby.I'm still sitting on the floor, barely able to move, and with my face swollen and bleeding from the blows, I said to the doctor in a barely audible whisper, "Please doctor, save Sophia, save her!The doctor asked me:“ Who are you?"“I am Sophia's husband and the father of her child," I said, pleased,
CHAPTER 41. CONTEMPT
I saw the woman withdraw wiggling her hips, I thought that with that she was going to provoke me, I don't know why it was hard for her to understand that I had no interest in her, or in any other, only in Sophia; I was saddened by her attitude, for me, she was pitiful.I remained sitting in the same position I had been in since before the doctor showed up, I felt like a truck had driven over me, and it had pretty much been like that, bones in my body ached that I didn't even know I had.My face was swollen and my stomach and ribs hurt too much, I could not move because the pain was enormous, one of the doctors saw me and reprimanded me.“It is necessary to check it, I could not remain here without being treated," he said sternly, and I had no choice but to submit to medical attention.They fixed my face and did an x” ray, diagnosed me with three broken ribs and sent me for six weeks of rest and medication and ice for the inflammation.However, I did not move from there, the additional
CHAPTER 42. NEAR DEATH INDIFFERENCE
Two weeks laterTwo weeks passed since Sophia sent me out of the private hospital. Although I went several times to her brothers' house; every time I knew I was at one of them, I went there, but she did not want to receive me, she refused to have any kind of contact with me.For my part, I had begun to have a friendship with his parents because his siblings practically did not tolerate me; I sent several documents with my lawyers where I ceded all the shares to his parents, the house, the farm and all the properties that had been theirs, at first, they did not want to accept the goods backing fact, they had given me a resounding no, until I managed to convince them.From Sophia, I only knew that she started dating Dante and I couldn't do anything to avoid it. I called Liuggi, but he didn't want to talk to me either, and I was practically fighting alone to get her back, but there wasn't much I could do because how do you conquer someone you don't see? I sent flowers, details and when I
CHAPTER 43. CONSEQUENCES
I left the clinic without looking back, I got into the car in complete silence, my body was trembling, and I had a bittersweet sensation in my mouth, the last words I said to him echoed in my mind: "“You know that's a big favour you would do me Nick, die! And that I swear would make me the happiest woman..."I felt like I was about to drown, "Am I crazy? How was I able to tell him that?", in my mind I couldn't stop seeing his saddened eyes and anguish invaded me and in a desperate tone of voice I exclaimed: “Dante, please stop! I have to go back to Nick.“ Don't be silly, Sophia, are you going to give in to him? He will do the same to you again; or don't you remember the first time when you told me he humiliated you in the company in front of several people, that time he told you he would not do it again and a few months later he repeated it: Do you want him to continue doing and undoing with you?His words left me thoughtful for a moment and I told him: “All right, take me to Enrique
