And two weeks later, Brenda, the new girlfriend, appeared: young, perfect, entering my house as if it were hers.
He put on my apron, used my plates, sat on my couch.
And Víctor walked it around the house as a trophy.
Then came the practical blows:
He canceled my card.
He canceled the joint one.
He suggested that I should leave “while things were being clarified.”
Lorena packed my things in garbage bags.
In the midst of all this, my “best friend”, Diana, comforted me… and at the same time he leaked information to Víctor.
I talked to her, and hours later he already knew everything.
And the worst thing wasn’t Brenda, or Lorena, or Diana…
The worst thing was seeing how Tomás began to doubt me, because his father put poison in him every day.
The secret I kept for 3 years
Everyone thought I was broken.
But no one knew what I knew.
Three years earlier, going through the company’s books, I found strange transfers. I pulled the thread… And what came out left me cold:
The house was not paid for: he had three mortgages.
The company was drowning: loans at the limit, back taxes, debts with suppliers.
The cars weren’t even “ours”: leases with huge final payments.
There was money flying in gambling, crypto, luxuries, a secret apartment…
It was not an empire. It was a house of cards… with fire.
