00:14digna confesses to joaquin that damian and andres were right in their warnings about pedro

00:19tomorrow thursday september 4th in dreams of freedom

00:24the dawn of thursday september 4th loomed over toledo with a false promise of peace

00:30the air still fresh with the last vestiges of the night seemed to ignore the storm brewing inside

00:37the walls of the queen's estate and with even more virulence and possibly in the corridors

00:42of the perfumery that bore her name for the inhabitants of the colony that day would not

00:48be just another one it would be a day of revelations of irrevocable decisions and of truths that like

00:55acid would burn to the soul in the imposing family home the morning silence was dense

01:02almost palpable damian the queen force patriarch and guardian of a legacy that was crumbling between

01:09his fingers was already on his feet the weight of the company of the family of the scandal that

01:16threatened to devour them all was reflected in the deep dark circles that furrowed his face

01:21as he finished a cup of black coffee in the kitchen his eyes settled on manuela the housekeeper whose

01:30countenance was a map of suppressed sadness

01:31she moved with her usual efficiency but her vital energy seemed to have been extinguished

01:40damian despite his own monumental worries was not a man blind to the suffering of others

01:48especially that of those who had served his family with unwavering loyalty

01:52he cleared his throat intending to offer a word of comfort although he did not know exactly what to say

02:03manuela are you well this morning he asked with a gentleness that belied the storm inside him

02:11she looked up from the cloth with which she was cleaning an already spotless surface

02:16her eyes normally lively and full of a spark of mischief were dull

02:23yes don damien lied perfectly but his voice lacked conviction damien sighed

02:33rumors in the neighborhood flew faster than the wind and although he usually ignored them

02:37the one linking manuela to gaspar the bartender had reached his ears

02:44he knew that between them there was a deep bond forged over decades and he knew something else

02:49something that in his clumsiness to console was about to turn an open wound into a hemorrhage

02:54quote

02:58i have noticed that gaspar has been distant and you seem to share that melancholy

03:04she began choosing her words carefully

03:08i suppose it is not easy to say goodbye to such a dear friend

03:11manuela frowned in confusion say goodbye i do not understand what you mean sir

03:20gaspar and i have had our differences as always

03:24but damien's face contorted

03:28he realized his mistake he had assumed she knew

03:31the silence that followed was more eloquent than any words manuela damien said almost in a whisper

03:42he didn't tell me that manuela's voice was a trembling threat of apprehension

03:48an icy cold began to creep up his spine

03:51damien looked away unable to meet her gaze

03:54he felt like an executioner gaspar is leaving abandoning the neighborhood he has sold the tavern

04:01and plans to start a new life somewhere else

04:05manuela's world stopped the cloth she was holding fell from her limp hands to the floor

04:13the ringing in her ears drowned out the sound of her own heart pounding in her chest

04:16leaving gaspar was impossible inconceivable he was the tavern he was part of the landscape of her life

04:26an unchanging constant like the tagus river

04:31they argued they got angry they hurt each other but they were always there for each other

04:38the idea of a world without gaspar just a few steps away was an abyss she dared not look into

04:43the devastation the devastation hit her with the force of a cyclone leaving her breathless

04:50speechless her soul shattered on the floor of the queen's kitchen

04:56the news was not just any news it was the end of an era the end of her world

05:02in the meantime a car was approaching the factory shattering the relative calm of the morning

05:08at the wheel was don pedro his face a mask of iron determination

05:13beside him in deathly silence sat a dignified woman

05:18to any casual observer they might have appeared to be a powerful and united couple returning to claim

05:24what was theirs

05:27but the reality as was so often the case was a much more complex and dark beast writhing beneath the surface

05:33the air inside the vehicle was unbreathable heavy within spoken reproaches and attention so thick it

05:42could have been cut with a knife

05:47digna kept her gaze fixed on the landscape that sped past on the trees and fields that seemed to flee from

05:52her torment she didn't want to look at him she couldn't every time her eyes met her husband's

06:00she felt a mixture of dread and revulsion that turned her stomach

06:03remember digna he said suddenly his voice piercing the silence head up we own this place

06:14i don't want to see even a hint of weakness on your face

06:18the queen's people will be watching waiting for us to falter

06:21digna clenched her hands in her lap until her knuckles turned white

06:29the weakness wasn't on her face but in her spirit eaten away by fear and guilt

06:34you don't have to remind me pedro she replied her voice was barely a whisper i know perfectly well

06:42what my role is

06:45ah yes he replied with sharp sarcasm sometimes i doubt it sometimes you seem to forget who pulled

06:51you out of the mud who gave you a name and a position you seem to forget all that i have done

06:57for you and your son quote the mention of joaquin was like a stab digna turned to look at him and for

07:06the first time that morning her eyes blazed with infinite fury

07:12for our son sake do you dare mention joaquin everything you've done has been to humiliate

07:17him to trample on him you took away his dream his position his dignity i taught him a lesson in

07:25humility pedro snapped breaking abruptly as they reached the factory parking lot

07:32a lesson you never knew how to teach him he was turning into an arrogant brat just like his father

07:40the blow was low and accurate digna felt the tears welling up but she swallowed them back with a

07:46superhuman effort she wouldn't give him that satisfaction not there not now they got out of the car

07:53just then joaquin also arrived at the factory he saw them from a distance he didn't need to hear

08:02the words to understand the scene he saw the stiffness in his mother's shoulders the way she

08:08avoided his gaze stepfather

08:14he saw don pedro's dismissive gesture the way he grabbed her arm almost violently to urge her to walk

08:19it was an instant a fleeting snapshot but for joaquin it was confirmation that the strange atmosphere

08:28he had perceived in his mother in recent days was not a figment of his imagination

08:34something was terribly wrong a dull concern like the beating of a distant drum began to resonate in

08:40his chest a premonition that the forced harmony his mother was trying to project was a fragile shell

08:46about to burst

08:50inside the offices of the queen's perfumeries chaos was the new order

08:56the scandal of the health crisis fanned by the press had spread like a plague

09:00the phones were ringing off the hook but they were no longer to place orders but to cancel them

09:11damien with gabriel by his side was trying to weather a storm that threatened to sink the ship for good

09:17quote this is the third major supplier we've lost this morning

09:22damien exclaimed hanging up the phone with restrained strength

09:25they say they don't want their name associated with us

09:32cowards after years of business relationships gabriel more pragmatic was reviewing a stack of

09:37documents it's a logical reaction man

09:43fear is free no one wants to see their reputation tarnished

09:47our only way out is to resolve the conflict with the workers

09:50i've been talking to their lawyer they're tough but i think we can reach an agreement

10:00we need to issue a joint statement show that we're solving the problem at its root

10:06damien nodded running a hand through his gray hair

10:11do what you have to do gabriel

10:12you have carte blanche get this company out of the mud

10:17amidst the maelstrom of calls and bad news tasio appeared in the doorway of the office

10:25he paused for a moment observing the scene with an indecipherable expression

10:30the tension between him and damien was a ghost that inhabited every corner of the factory

10:35quote don damien his formal and distant voice said i'm sorry he said he wanted to see me

10:42damien looked up and a shadow of relief crossed his face

10:47it was a small respite in the midst of battle tasio come in please thank you for coming

10:55you don't have to thank me for anything i'm doing this for my mother as i told you

11:00tasio's words were like little darts but damien chose to ignore them

11:04i know and i thank you all the same i wanted to confirm dinner tonight at home

11:13at nine it will be something simple just us so you can talk to your mother calmly

11:20tasio nodded without apparent emotion i'll be there there was an uncomfortable silence

11:26damien wanted to say something more something that could start rebuilding the bridges that he himself

11:30had blown up he wanted to tell her about his pride about his remorse but the words stuck in his throat

11:43tasio if that's all i have work to do he interrupted turning around

11:47damien watched him leave and felt the weight of his past mistakes add up to the catastrophes of the

11:55present

11:58he accepted the invitation yes but the gulf between father and son remained as vast and deep as ever

12:03far from the noise and fury of the factory in the apparent tranquility of home maria was setting her

12:12own subtle plan of conquest in motion

12:16she found little julia in the garden playing with her dolls under the shade of an old oak tree

12:23the girl with her innocence intact was the key piece in her strategy

12:27maria sat down beside him on the grass adopting an air of confidentiality and sweetness

12:35julia my dear can i tell you a secret her voice began in a honeyed whisper

12:41the little girl's eyes opened wide filled with curiosity

12:47a grown-up secret a very important one maria confirmed smiling you see your uncle andres and

12:54i love each other very much and when two people love each other so much sometimes they want to

13:00start an even bigger family quote julia nodded bigger than now yes i would love to i would love

13:10to be a mother to have a baby to take care of it to love it quote maria touched her belly her face a

13:17studied mask of longing

13:18but sometimes life doesn't make it easy sometimes to be a parent you need a little help

13:29or you can give a home to a child who doesn't have one that's called adoption the little girl

13:35listened attentively processing the information she remembered the conversations about begonia and jesus

13:42about how she had come into their lives

13:43like begonia with me she asked with overwhelming logic maria smiled her plan was working perfectly

13:56exactly like begonia with you is the most beautiful way to create a family

14:00and i know that your uncle andres would be the best dad in the world

14:05but sometimes we adults have fears fear of not knowing how to do it right

14:10she leaned toward julia her voice dropping even lower and here comes the secret

14:17i think that if you who are the smartest and best girl i know

14:20told your uncle how happy you would be to have a little cousin

14:23i think that would help him get rid of all his fears

14:28what do you think julia excited by the idea of a new playmate and seeing the opportunity to be

14:34the heroine of the story she nodded fervently of course aunt maria i'll tell him i'll tell him that

14:42i want a cousin and that he will be the best dad maria hugged her tightly silent triumph shining in her

14:49eyes she had planted the seed

14:55now all she had to do was wait for it to sprout in andres's heart watered by the innocent and powerful

15:00insistence of a little girl who didn't know she was being used as a pawn in an adult game far more

15:05complex and ruthless than she could ever imagine

15:10in a dusty corner of the offices irene steeled herself

15:14with christina's advice echoing in her mind she picked up the phone and dialed the number for the

15:19local newspaper her heart pounded with a mixture of hope and terror each word she dictated to the

15:27operator on the other end of the line felt like a small paper boat launched into an immense ocean

15:35yes for the classified ad section she said her voice trembling slightly

15:41the text is jose i'm looking for you i need to speak to you urgently i'm irene please contact me at this

15:49number no without further details that's fine when she hung up she stared at the phone as

15:57if expecting it to ring immediately it was crazy a one in a million chance perhaps but it was the

16:05only one she had the idea that jose might read those lines recognize her name and feel the need

16:13to respond was a lifeline she clung to with all her might just then she saw digna walk down the hallway

16:23her heart skipped a beat despite the constant rejections a part of her refused to give up on

16:27that friendship on that connection that had once been so important

16:35she stood in his way with a pleading expression

16:39digna please just a minute she stole

16:43digna stopped her face a wall of coldness she didn't look him in the eye i've already told you

16:49everything i had to say irene we have nothing to talk about you're wrong yes we do i know you're

16:58going through something terrible i can see it in your face i don't know what it is but you don't have

17:04to go through it alone let me help you let me be your friend again the mention of her suffering was

17:10like rubbing salt in digna's wound her already fragile self-control cracked

17:19you don't know anything her voice hissed laden with a venom that surprised them both

17:24you have no idea what i'm going through

17:28help me the best help you can give me is to disappear leave me alone once and for all

17:34digna abruptly pushed her way through leaving irene paralyzed in the middle of the hallway

17:41the words of rejection ringing in her ears

17:47the pain of her dashed hope of finding jose mixed with the bitterness of losing her friend for good

17:54she felt more alone than ever the bar was buzzing with the midday noise the clink of glasses and the

18:00animated conversations of the workers on their break manuela entered the premises with the

18:07determination of a woman walking toward the gallows she looked for gaspar with her eyes and found him

18:13behind the bar pouring wine with mechanical efficiency his face stern and closed

18:21she approached pushing her way through the crowd when he saw her his expression hardened even more

18:28what are you doing here manuela he asked bluntly his tongue cutting we have to talk gaspar

18:38i'm working right now i don't care

18:41desperation gave her a strength she didn't know she had

18:45it's about what don damien told me that's right are you leaving

18:50gaspar set a glass on the bar with more force than necessary

18:53yes that's right and it's my life i do with it what i want the words hit her like a slap in the face

19:03after so many years she exclaimed her voice breaking just like that without saying anything

19:09to me you were thinking of disappearing and that's it i don't owe you any explanation manuela

19:15the pain gave way to a feverish result if he was leaving for her for the scandal his proximity might

19:24cause her she couldn't allow it quote don't do it gaspar i beg you she said her voice dropping to an

19:33intense whisper if the problem is me if it's because of what people say if it's to avoid unpleasantness

19:39unpleasantness i'm leaving i'm leaving everything i'm leaving toledo the neighborhood no one will see me

19:46again but you can't leave this is your place this tavern is your life his offer a supreme sacrifice

19:55born of the deepest and most desperate love floated between them

20:02gaspar looked at her and for a moment manuela thought she saw a crack in his icy armor

20:06a glimpse of the man she knew

20:11but it disappeared as quickly as it had come replaced by a calculated cruelty a wall designed

20:16to hurt her so badly that she would never want to come near him again

20:20quote you leave you he laughed a bitter and hollow laugh that drew the gazes of the closest customers

20:29don't be ridiculous manuela you don't give yourself that much importance

20:33do you really think my life revolves around you i'm leaving because i'm sick of this place

20:38these people and this miserable life

20:42and if i'm honest the idea of never seeing your face again is one of the things that most encourages

20:47me to do it

20:50the blow was deadly manuela recoiled as if she had been physically slapped

20:54there was no pain in the world comparable to that the humiliation the gratuitous cruelty of his words

21:03completely annihilated her

21:07without another word with tears streaming down her face she turned and fled the bar

21:12leaving behind the echo of laughter that was nothing more than the sound of a heartbreaking

21:15gaspar

21:18gaspar stared at the door through which she had disappeared

21:22his face a mask of impassivity but his hands hidden under the bar trembled uncontrollably

21:30he had achieved his goal to drive her away forever

21:33but the price had been to destroy the only good thing he had left in his life

21:36in the office of the president marta and carmen were preparing for their presentation

21:46it was more than a project it was an act of faith a message in a bottle launched into

21:51the sea in the hope that it would reach a distant shore where perhaps fina could receive it

21:58they spread the banners for the hidden passion campaign across the large mahogany table

22:02don pedro entered with an air of self-importance followed by joaquin whom he had insisted be present

22:13well ladies surprise me he said sitting at the head of the table marta took the floor

22:22her voice a little hesitant at first gained strength as she described the concept

22:26she spoke of a love that defies convention of a passion that must live in the shadows

22:34but that is more powerful than any law or prejudice

22:39she spoke of duality of light and darkness of risk and reward

22:45carmen supported her by showing her the designs for the bottle

22:48the topography of the name the evocative images they had selected

22:51joaquin listened and although he didn't know the full story behind the inspiration

22:59he could sense the intensity and truth in his cousin's words

23:04it was a brave risky campaign he glanced at don pedro expecting a negative reaction a disparaging comment

23:12but to his surprise don pedro listened in silence nodding every now and then

23:21at the end of the presentation a long silence filled the room

23:25it's excellent he finally said

23:31the word coming from him sounded like the highest praise bold modern

23:36just what the company needs to show that we're not finished it's a master stroke

23:46congratulations to both of you you have my full approval get it up and running right away

23:53marta and carmen exchanged a look of disbelief and relief they had done it

23:58once don pedro had left carmen approached marta you see it's a great success it's a beautiful tribute

24:09i'm sure that wherever she is fina would feel it but marta's face did not reflect the joy of triumph

24:18don pedro's approval was a professional victory but his personal wound was still raw and bleeding

24:23thank you carmen i couldn't have done it without you he said sincerely but this won't bring her back

24:34it's just a perfume the melancholy in his voice was so deep that carmen didn't know what else to say

24:43she simply placed a comforting hand on his shoulder silently sharing a pain that words could not ease

24:48meanwhile joaquin watched the scene from the doorway the pieces of the puzzle in his head

24:56beginning to fit together in an unsettling way

25:01his stepfather the man who had denied him the chance to lead who had humiliated him

25:06was now enthusiastically approving of a risky campaign

25:11the tension with his mother his own degradation everyone's erratic behavior

25:18it was as if you were watching a play in which everyone knew the script except him

25:26and that feeling of being a mere spectator to his own tragedy was unbearable

25:33he spoke to gemma as soon as he had the chance his voice a mix of frustration and urgency

25:40gemma you have to listen to me something very strange is happening

25:44this morning i saw my mother and don pedro arguing in the parking lot

25:50they seem to hate each other then at the meeting he approves marta's campaign as if it were nothing

25:56after having made my life miserable for much less

26:01and my mother is not herself she is absent scared gemma listened to him attentively her face reflecting the

26:09same concern i have also noticed that she is strange joaquin avoids everyone the other day

26:16he almost yelled at irene for nothing exactly joaquin exclaimed starting to pace back and forth

26:25there is something they are hiding from us a piece that doesn't fit don pedro is back he pulls me away

26:32from the office for no logical reason my mother acts as if she is terrified everything is connected

26:38gemma i know and i am sick of being in the dark i am going to find out what the hell is going on

26:45tonight i will talk to my mother i will corner her if necessary i need the truth whatever it may be

26:54her determination was absolute it was no longer about her career or her wounded pride it was about

27:01her mother her family she had to get to the end of this no matter how painful the truth that awaited her

27:08might be in the clinic the contrast between two lives could not be more acute begonia sitting in front

27:17of the light radiated a happiness that seemed to illuminate the small room her eyes shone as she

27:25recounted the details of her birthday celebration it was magical lose simply magical she said with a

27:34smile that would not leave her face gabriel prepared a surprise picnic just for the three of us

27:41julia was so happy and he was so attentive so affectionate it had been so long since i had felt

27:50this way fulfilled happy lose smiled infected by her friend's joy i am so happy for you begonia

28:00you really deserve all the happiness in the world after what you've been through

28:03i know it and for the first time i feel that it is possible my fears are fading at first i had so

28:13many doubts so much fear that everything was a mirage but every day i spend with gabriel i feel more secure

28:21closer to him last night i invited him to spend the night in my room again

28:29begonia confessed it with a blush on her cheeks but without a hint of regret

28:33she was a woman who was finally claiming her right to love and be loved lose hugged her you're right

28:43live in the moment enjoy it but when they separated lose's smile faded replaced by a shadow of concern

28:53her own reality was the dark reverse of her friends and you begonia asked noticing the change

29:00how are things with louise lose side a sound laden with emotional exhaustion

29:10bad begonia very bad we are at our worst we barely speak and when we do it is to argue

29:19i feel like she is distancing herself from me like there is a wall between us

29:23she hesitated for a moment before continuing but the need to vent was stronger

29:30and then there's christina she spends hours with him in the lab

29:34i know she's his assistant that she's purely professional but i can't help it

29:41i feel her presence there as a threat like a shadow looming over what little we have left

29:45the anguish and loses voice was palpable begonia tried to console her to tell her that they were

29:55just her imagination that luis loved her but neither of them could know that loses fears were not only

30:00well founded but also fell short they couldn't know that in the solitude of the lab professionalism

30:10had already been dynamited by a stolen kiss a kiss that had opened a gap that perhaps could never be

30:15closed the threat lose perceived was not a shadow it was a sharp and dangerous reality that had already

30:24begun to tear at the fabric of her marriage and as if fate delighted in weaving complex webs of desire

30:32and pain begonia in her cloud of happiness was about to receive a small jolt

30:39a chance encounter with andres in a factory hallway was enough to disturb her calm

30:46he congratulated her on her birthday with a warmth and intensity in his gaze that went beyond simple

30:51family courtesy begonia felt an echo of the old connection a spark she had thought had been extinguished

30:59she said goodbye quickly her heart racing slightly

31:05had it been her imagination or had andres despite everything despite maria still harbored feelings for her

31:13doubt like a small poisonous seed settled in her mind threatening to overshadow her newfound happiness

31:22the day wore on and with it don pedro's machinations

31:25i had tasio summoned to his office the same one that had been the epicenter of the queen's family's

31:31power for generations tasio entered cautiously not knowing what to expect don pedro motioned for him to

31:38take a seat there was no one else in the room the atmosphere was solemn almost oppressive tasio i called

31:47you because i have something important to propose to you his deep direct voice began

31:52i have been watching you you are an intelligent hard-working and above all ambitious man

32:02qualities that i value tasio remained silent his face a poker mask

32:09as you know the company's situation is delicate don pedro continued it requires strong leadership

32:16a steady hand that does not tremble in the face of adversity i will not be here forever

32:24he paused letting the weight of his words settle in the room

32:29i have made a decision i want you to be the one to take charge of the queen's perfumeries when i am gone

32:34i want you to be my successor tasio's jaw almost dropped the surprise left him speechless

32:46he damien's bastard son the boy who had grown up in the shadow of the factory

32:51now it's air was a proposal so outrageous so illogical that for a moment he thought it was a cruel joke

32:57you are serious he managed to say

33:05i have never been more serious in my life don pedro stated staring at him

33:12i will give you the training the power the resources i only need your absolute loyalty a loyalty to me

33:19not to the queen's people the revelation was an earthquake but along with the surprise a deep unease

33:25began to grow in tasio's chest

33:30why now why him and that sentence when i am gone sounded too final too close

33:39don pedro with all due respect why are you making me this offer

33:44and what do you mean you won't be here forever are you in good health

33:50the question hung in the air laden with genuine concern

33:53don pedro's expression darkened for an instant a hint of vulnerability that disappeared as

34:00quickly as it had come

34:03my health is my own business he said curtly

34:07focus on the offer tasio it is the opportunity of a lifetime

34:11the chance to have everything you have always deserved and that others have denied you

34:15think about it but don't take too long time as you'll discover is a luxury not all of us have

34:26tasio left the office his mind reeling

34:30the offer was a dream come true revenge served on a silver platter against the family that had spurned him

34:35but the condition was a gold chain and concern for the health of his boss the man who offered him the

34:44world cast a dark and ominous shadow over the whole affair

34:50a reconciliation with his family now seemed further away than ever caught between loyalty to his benefactor

34:56and the mystery of his sudden disconcerting generosity

35:01night finally fell over toledo in the merino household tension was a fixture in the family

35:10digna moved through the house like a ghost her face pale and drawn in the lamplight

35:14she knew the moment of truth was approaching she could feel joaquin's gaze on her a gaze that was no

35:23longer just one of concern but suspicion

35:28he waited for her in the living room as she entered he stepped in her path his stance was calm but unyielding

35:35mom sit down we need to talk he said his voice broke no reply digna attempted one last feeble defense

35:46quote i'm very tired joaquin whatever it is it can wait until tomorrow no it can't wait any longer

35:54he insisted his voice hardening i've been watching you all day watching you with him seeing the fear in

36:01your eyes i want you to tell me the truth the whole truth what's going on between you and don pedro

36:09and why am i leaving the management digna's damn began to give way

36:16her son's questions direct and to the point hit her like hammer blows

36:21she shook her head tears welling in her eyes quote

36:26i don't know what you're talking about enough lies joaquin exclaimed

36:30raising his voice for the first time i'm sick of you treating me like an idiot i've seen you mom

36:37you're terrified that man is doing something to you and i want to know what it is

36:44now it was too much the damn broke

36:48digna collapsed onto the couch her body racked with uncontrollable sobs

36:54the torrent words pain and guilt began to flow uncontrollably and devastatingly

37:01you were right she sobbed through her tears you were right from the beginning damien and andrew were

37:07right joaquin knelt before her his heart clenched in fear right in what mom what are you talking about

37:17in everything she screamed her face contorted with anguish pedro has manipulated us all

37:24from the beginning his return was no coincidence

37:28it was a plan a plan to get revenge to destroy the queen's people and take everything for himself

37:35she told him everything she confessed how pedro had orchestrated her failure as director

37:40how he had sabotaged her decisions and magnified her mistakes to portray her as incompetent to damien

37:45she told him how he had pressured her how he had isolated her and made her his silent accomplice

37:55quote but why mom joaquin asked his world crumbling around him

38:03why did you let this happen why didn't you say anything we could have fought digna looked up and

38:09the expression on her face made joaquin's blood run cold it was a look of pure terror of a desperation

38:16so deep it seemed bottomless

38:21because i can't son her broken voice whispered i can't leave him i can't face him

38:29why what does he have against you and then came the final confession

38:34the darkest most terrible truth he's threatening me joaquin said the barely audible voice

38:43he's threatened to report me for the death of jesus

38:47the air left joaquin's lungs he felt the ground open up beneath his feet

38:54jesus death the accident the fall he knows it he continued with dignity

38:59his gaze lost in the horror of the memory

39:03he knows i was there he knows we argued that jesus pushed me and that i in defending myself

39:08pushed him back

39:12he knows it was an accident but he says no one will believe me

39:16he says he'll accuse me of murder and that i'll spend the rest of my life in prison

39:22the silence that followed was absolute heavy full of the enormity of the revelation

39:29the truth had finally exploded and it was more monstrous than joaquin could have ever imagined

39:38his professional failure his humiliations

39:42everything was reduced to ashes before the horror of knowing that his mother lived trapped in a cage of

39:46blackmail prisoner of a monster who used her past to control her present

39:52anguish overwhelmed him washed over her a wave of helplessness and fury

39:56that wretch clenched his fists with tremendous force

40:03i will kill him no joaquin no digna begged grabbing his arm you can't do anything

40:11it would be worse worse what could be worse than this mom he's destroying you digna looked at him and

40:18a glimmer of something else appeared in her tired eyes something cold and calculating that surprised him

40:23it will only be for a short time her voice said regaining a glimmer of strength be patient son

40:34just a little longer joaquin looked at her in confusion

40:40what are you talking about pedro is sick joaquin she revealed lowering her voice to a

40:45conspiratorial secret very sick he's dying the doctors don't give him much time the news should

40:52have been a relief but the way his mother said it the coldness in her tone sent shivers down his spine

41:01but before she dies digna added her mouth curling into a smile devoid of any joy

41:06a grimace of pure vengeance great suffering awaits her

41:12i assure you she will pay for every tear for every humiliation her end will be slow and painful

41:20and i will be there to see it joaquin stared at his mother that broken and yet terribly strong woman

41:26the truth had exploded yes but it had not brought liberation but the promise of a new hell

41:38a hell in which they would have to wait watch and live with the monster while their own body consumed

41:43it knowing that justice when it came would come in the form of death

41:51and that weight joaquin realized with a dread that seeped into his bones

41:54could be a torment worse than any other

41:59the day was ending but the night in the souls of the merino family had only just begun
