Chapter 13 - The Second Family
Valeria’s father was alive.
His name was Ignacio Serrano.
And he had built the entire scheme with Alejandro.
The two families had been laundering money through shared companies for decades.
Valeria and Gabriel discovered it.
Their engagement threatened everything.
So their memories, relationships, and lives were dismantled.
Gabriel was declared dead.
Valeria was manipulated.
Sebastián was used as the replacement husband because Alejandro knew his younger son was easier to control.
The truth devastated Sebastián.
His marriage had been engineered.
But Valeria took his hand.
“What happened afterward wasn’t engineered.”
He looked at her.
“Our daughter wasn’t engineered.”
“No.”
“And I chose you.”
Sebastián’s eyes filled.
“Even after everything I failed to see?”
Valeria didn’t answer immediately.
“I don’t know what happens to us.”
That hurt.
But Sebastián nodded.
“You don’t owe me forgiveness.”
For the first time, Valeria believed he understood.
Then Camila found another file.
A live bank transfer.
Octavio had moved nearly nine hundred million dollars.
Destination unknown.
And attached to the transfer was a photograph taken ten minutes earlier.
