A millionaire was walking through the foyer of his mansion, impeccably tidy as always, when he heard a desperate cry. “Don’t touch her, madam,” it was the voice of his housekeeper, defending her sick mother. He thought it was a misunderstanding, but what he saw when he opened the door changed everything forever.

was secretly holding its breath. Suddenly, a piercing scream shattered the calm. “No, let me go! No!” Alejandro jolted upright in his bed. His heart pounded in his ears like a drum. It was 2 a.m., and that sound couldn’t be mistaken for a nightmare. It was real. Without thinking, he left his room and ran down the hallway, dimly lit by emergency lights. Every step
echoed on the cold marble floor.
The scream had come from his mother’s room. He opened the door abruptly. The scene froze him in his tracks. Doña Mercedes was huddled against the headboard, trembling, her hands raised, as if trying to protect herself. In front of her, Camila, his fiancée, impeccably dressed in a silk robe, was holding her arm roughly.
The expression on Camila’s face was one of suppressed fury, something Alejandro had never seen from her in public. “That’s enough!” Alejandro shouted as he entered. Camila immediately released the elderly woman and turned to him with a nervous smile. That same smile that charmed everyone at social gatherings. “Ale, darling, she misunderstood. She was about to hurt herself. She was trying to go out into the hallway alone.”
Doña Mercedes, however, contradicted her without words. Her eyes, moist and wide with fear, were fixed on her son’s, pleading for protection. At that moment, the door opened again. Lucía Ramírez, the housekeeper in charge of Mercedes’ care, entered, breathless, her apron wrinkled from running. “What happened?” she asked, immediately approaching the old woman. She knelt beside the bed and gently took Doña Mercedes’ hands, murmuring soft words, almost like a lullaby. The old woman gradually began to relax, sighing softly. Alejandro watched the scene with a mixture of bewilderment and anger. He couldn’t ignore the tension in the air, the contrast between Camila’s brusque manner and Lucía’s gentleness. Camila spoke with a firmer voice. “Leave for a moment, please.” He hesitated. “Alejandro, you really don’t understand. I told you to leave.” Camila looked at him with a flash of indignation before obeying. She slammed the door shut, leaving a metallic echo. Silence reigned again, broken only by Doña Mercedes’ soft sighs and Lucía’s calming murmurs. Alejandro sat on the edge of the bed, trying to process what had happened. “Mom, calm down, it’s over,” he whispered, stroking her gray hair. She looked at him with a strange flash of clarity. Her lips trembled, and she managed to say, “They want to take me away. They want to take me away.” Alejandro swallowed. Her words pierced his heart. The illness made her confuse names and memories. But that phrase sounded too specific. Lucía watched him, and for a second he sensed a silent message in her eyes. Listen to her. That night, as his mother finally fell asleep, Alejandro felt something he hadn’t felt in a long time. Fear. Fear of what he had seen in Camila’s eyes. Fear of what was happening under his own roof. Fear of ignoring a truth that had always been right in front of him. She couldn’t sleep. She walked through the dark corridors of the mansion, the echo of that scream still ringing in her head. And though she tried to convince herself it had been just a misunderstanding, she couldn’t shake the feeling that something had just cracked within her life. What she didn’t know was that this crack, this first suspicion, would be the gateway to a chasm that would test everything she believed about love, loyalty, and true greatness. The Herrera mansion shone that night like a palace aglow. The illuminated windows let out glimmers of light and the soft sounds of violin music. Luxury cars lined the entrance as uniformed chauffeurs opened doors with impeccable grace. In the grand ballroom, everything was arranged to impress. Chandeliers overflowed with golden light, tables were laden with sparkling champagne, and a discreet orchestra filled the air with classical melodies. The Herrera name was synonymous with wealth and power, and Camila Guzmán knew it. That night wasn’t just a reception; it was a showcase to reinforce their image. Camila descended the main staircase dressed in vibrant red, as if every detail had been meticulously chosen to dazzle. Her painted lips seemed designed to smile at precisely the perfect angle.
