“¿Nuestra familia?” Pregunté.
“Su sangre es nuestra”.
Sentí que algo frío se movía a través de mí.
Ahí estaba de nuevo.
Posesión.
No amor.
Propiedad.
“Los llamaste una desgracia la semana pasada”, le dije.
Dolores levantó la barbilla.
“Estaba mal informado”.
“No. Estabas ansioso”.
Ella se enrojeció.
“Quiero entrar”.
– No.
“Soy tu suegra”.
“Por ahora”.
Sus ojos se abrieron.
Luego susurró: “Te arrepentirás de humillar a Diego”.
I smiled into the camera.
“Thank you. My lawyer will enjoy that recording.”
Dolores stepped back as if the door itself had slapped her.
She left.
I sent the footage to Valeria.
By afternoon, Valeria filed the first response.
A formal notice rejecting Diego’s proposed agreement.
A demand that he preserve all financial records.
A notice regarding marital abandonment.
A documentation request related to his vasectomy, follow-up instructions, and failure to complete medical clearance.
A warning regarding harassment by third parties.
