00:00advanced dreams of freedom i'm pregnant gabriel's reaction disappoints begonia in chapter 410

00:13october 8

00:14begonia can't stand the pressure any longer and ends up confessing to gabriel that she

00:20is expecting his child in chapter 410 of dreams of freedom on wednesday october 8

00:25the dawn of wednesday october 8 spilled over the queen's estate with the delicacy of a watercolor

00:33the pale orange light first touched the highest tops of the pine trees and then slowly descended

00:42to kiss the roofs of the mansion the glass of the greenhouses and the cold stone of the factory

00:47it was a dawn like any other indifferent to the cataclysms that had shaken the foundations of

00:55the families who inhabited those lands

00:57the air smelled of damp earth and pine a perfume that in other times would have been synonymous with

01:05peace

01:06today however for many it was merely a reminder of all that had been lost

01:13of the secrets buried beneath that very earth

01:15inside the large house the silence was thick almost palpable

01:22it was a silence inhabited by ghosts

01:25in her room begonia had been awake since long before the first bird sang

01:32she lay on her back her eyes fixed on the bulges in the ceiling

01:38one hand instinctively resting on her belly

01:40the secret growing there was both a miracle and a curse a son of gabriel

01:47a blood bond that would forever unite her to a man whose behavior was beginning to make her skin crawl

01:55with the icy memory of her late husband

01:57jesus the name resonated in her mind like the echo of a funeral bell

02:03dead disappeared forever beneath the dark waters of the river

02:07and she was an accomplice to his end she and andres a terrible truth had chained them together

02:14forging between them in intimacy as profound as it was dangerous

02:18every time their eyes met they shared the weight of that night

02:24the horror of violence the desperation of flight

02:26it was a bond forged in darkness

02:31and begonia felt with growing dread that that same darkness threatened to devour everything

02:36she stood up carefully

02:40her body heavy not so much from her incipient pregnancy as from the exhaustion of her soul

02:45she went to the window and watched the landscape awaken

02:50the serene beauty of the countryside contrasted brutally with the storm raging inside her

02:55she feared for the future for the creature she carried inside her

03:00for the fragile peace she was trying to build on a bed of lies

03:04and above all she feared gabriel she feared the shadow of jesus that she sometimes thought she saw in his eyes

03:12meanwhile in a room in the dispensary that had been converted into a makeshift home

03:19jose gutierrez opened his eyes to that same light

03:21beside him in a chair christina watched over him as he slept

03:27she had stayed there all night unable to tear herself away from him

03:32as if she feared that when she closed her eyes he might vanish again

03:35seeing him there so fragile yet so real

03:41was a bomb for wounds that had been raw for a lifetime

03:44jose stirred slightly and a soft moan escaped his lips

03:50christina sat up immediately her heart beating with a mixture of concern and joy

03:55daddy are you okay she whispered her voice filled with a tenderness he barely remembered possessing

04:03he turned his head and his eyes still clouded with sleep and pain

04:09met hers

04:13a tired but genuine smile spread across his face christina my daughter

04:19her voice was a hoarse whisper

04:23i thought i had dreamed you no it wasn't a dream

04:26i'm here she said taking his hand with infinite delicacy

04:31his skin was rough

04:35that of a man who had worked and suffered

04:37but his warmth was that of the home she had never had

04:39i'm not going anywhere

04:43tears welled up in jose's eyes

04:46tears of regret of relief

04:49of a love that had remained buried for decades under layers of fear and guilt

04:53forgive me christina

04:58please forgive me for all these years

05:00for not having been the father you deserve

05:02for having been a coward

05:06christina shook her head

05:09the tears now flowing freely down her own cheeks

05:12no don't say that

05:15i already know everything lose told me about don pedro

05:19what he did to you

05:22you weren't a coward dad

05:24you were a victim

05:26he forced you to choose and you chose to protect mom and me

05:31but the price was your childhood without a father

05:34the price was growing up thinking that he didn't love you

05:36that he had abandoned you

05:40and that that is a sin that i don't know if i will ever be able to atone for

05:44well start by forgiving yourself she replied her voice firm despite her emotion

05:51i have already forgiven you

05:53the moment i learned the truth all resentment vanished

05:58only sorrow remained sorrow for all the time that had been stolen from us

06:02the conversation then flowed like a river that had been dammed up for a long time

06:07there were no reproaches only a heartbreaking sincerity

06:10jose told her about his love for irene about the dreams they had woven together

06:14about the brutality with which pedro de la reina had shattered them

06:20he told her about the terror he had felt that night

06:23the veiled but unmistakable threat against them

06:25his decision to disappear to keep them safe

06:31christina in turn told him about her life

06:33about the absence that had marked each of her days

06:36about her incessant search for a father figure a search that had led her to make

06:40so many mistakes

06:44i always felt like there was a piece missing from me

06:46she confessed looking at their clasped hands

06:51i tried to look for it in other men in work

06:53in anything that would make me feel complete

06:58but it was useless the missing piece was you

07:01and you me daughter

07:03and you me jose replied squeezing her hand

07:08every day of my exile i thought about you

07:11i wondered what you would be like if you would be like your mother

07:14if you would be happy

07:16i tortured myself imagining your birthdays

07:19your first steps your first day of school

07:24everything i had missed i survived by clinging to the hope that one day i would

07:28be able to return and explain it to you

07:31it was a catharsis the words healed sutured the wounds of the past

07:37for the first time they were not a tormented man and a resentful young woman

07:43they were simply a father and daughter reunited on the shore after a long

07:46terrible storm

07:51the future was uncertain but for the first time they had one together

07:56don pedro's shadow was finally beginning to dissipate

08:01back in the big house breakfast was an exercise and contained tension

08:06damien presided over the table with a deathly silence

08:09his face a mask of pain that failed to hide the rage that simmered beneath the surface

08:16digna's confession about jesus's death had devastated him

08:19not so much because of the truth itself

08:22but because of her silence because of the betrayal she felt

08:27begonia and andres barely ate a bite

08:30they exchanged furtive glances over their coffee cups

08:33silent communications that did not go unnoticed by the fourth occupant of the table gabriel

08:38seated across from them he observed every gesture every inflection in the tone of their few words

08:50the night before he had seen them together in the garden talking in whispers

08:53their bodies leaning towards each other in a bubble of intimacy that completely excluded him

08:57a sharp venomous pang of jealousy had stabbed him in the chest

09:06what were they hiding from each other why this sudden complicity this closeness that reminded him of it

09:11painfully reminiscent of the days when begonia and andres were in love it

09:18seems you've made peace gabriel commented his tone deliberately casual but with a hint of steel that fooled no one

09:24andres looked up from his plate his expression neutral we've simply cleared a few things up

09:35the family has been through a lot it's normal for us to support each other support gabriel repeated

09:41a crooked smile playing on his lips it seems like more than support to me

09:48it's the same closeness you had before before well before everything

09:54begonia felt a chill the implication was clear

09:58and the way he said it with that mix of spite and possessiveness brought back a frightening echo of jesus

10:05gabriel please this is not the time or the place she interjected

10:09her voice strained more than she had intended

10:14oh no and when is the time

10:17perhaps i should wait until i find you alone in the garden again

10:19sarcasm dripped from her words

10:24damien slammed his fist on the table causing the dishes to rattle enough enough both of you

10:30don't you see that this house is a powder keg waiting to explode i don't want to hear another word

10:37the silence that followed was heavier than any shout

10:41gabriel glared at andres before abruptly getting up from the table and leaving the dining room

10:45leaving a trail of resentment in his wake begonia closed her eyes for a moment

10:52the scene had been a premonition

10:55gabriel's suspicion was a poison that once inoculated would only spread

11:04and she was caught in the middle with a secret in her belly that complicated everything to infinity

11:09later gabriel unable to shake the image of begonia and andres from his head

11:14went to look for maria in her room

11:18he found her getting ready in front of the mirror humming a tune

11:22her apparent serenity contrasted with the turmoil he felt inside

11:27maria we need to talk he said closing the door behind him

11:32she turned arching a perfectly plucked eyebrow

11:37wow how dramatic what's going on gabriel trouble in paradise don't make fun of him

11:44it's serious she ran a hand through her ruffled hair

11:49it's andres and begonia maria set her brush down on the dresser her interest suddenly peaked

11:56what's wrong with them they're too close i saw them together last night and this morning at breakfast

12:05there's something between them again i know it i feel it

12:08they look at each other in a way as if they share a secret a secret that excludes all the rest of us

12:16well after digna's confession about jesus death it's normal for them to be

12:23united by tragedy maria suggested although her eyes shone with a calculating light

12:28it's not that maria it's something else gabriel began to pace the room like a caged animal

12:39it's the way he protects her the way she leans on him it's driving me crazy

12:47i thought that with begonia i thought we were building something

12:49but now now i feel like i'm playing second fiddle again

12:55always in the shadow of my perfect cousin maria approached him and placed a hand on his arm

13:01her touch was meant to be comforting but her thoughts were elsewhere

13:07news of this renewed closeness between her husband and begonia was a thorn in his pride

13:11if andres fell into that woman's clutches again all her plans her position as mistress to the queen would be shaken

13:23relax gabriel it may just be your imagination jealousy is a bad advisor

13:31it's not your imagination he insisted his voice cracking with insecurity and the worst thing is that

13:37sometimes when she looks at me i see in her eyes the same fear that i saw when i was with jesus

13:46what if i'm turning into him and if she sees me as a monster

13:50don't talk nonsense maria reassured him although the idea was perversely interesting to her

13:58you're not jesus but you have to be careful if you pressure her you'll push her away and if

14:04there's something between them all you'll achieve is pushing her straight into his arms

14:11maria's advice was shrewd designed to protect her own interests but gabriel

14:15in his anguish took it as a sincere warning

14:21he remained thoughtful unease churning inside him

14:25the seed of suspicion had germinated and its toxic roots were beginning to poison everything

14:29the atmosphere at the merino home was somber lose feeling it was her duty to inform them

14:38had gathered them in the small living room to tell them the truth about jose gutierrez

14:44she told them about his reappearance his sorry state and above all

14:48don pedro's role in his forced disappearance

14:50digna listened with a distraught face her hands clasped in her lap

15:00joaquin remained standing by the window his back to everyone his shoulders tense

15:07gemma and luis were sitting on the sofa their expressions were ones of pure disbelief

15:12so all this time jose was alive digna murmured her voice barely a whisper

15:22yes hidden terrified don pedro threatened him he made him believe that if he returned something

15:28bad would happen to irene and her daughter lose explained softly

15:34a sigh of relief escaped digna's lips poor irene my god poor woman everything she's had to endure

15:42first my brother's cruelty and then this believing that the love of her life had abandoned her

15:48when in reality he was protecting her it's too cruel quote her gaze fell on joaquin who still didn't move

15:59joaquin my son did you hear irene has also been a victim her whole life has been hell because of

16:07the men in my family first jesus then pedro joaquin turned slowly his face was a mask of suppressed fury

16:17and what does that change mother does the fact that she was a victim excuse her from all the harm

16:22she did to me do you forget that i did he use me play with me make me believe that he felt something

16:28for me only for his own ends she was desperate joaquin was trying to survive in a world that was crushing

16:36her digna pleaded we all have our battles mother and that doesn't give us the right to destroy others

16:45he replied his voice rising in volume

16:51i'm glad she found that man i'm glad she's happy but she shouldn't expect my forgiveness

16:56because she won't get it there are wounds that can't be erased with a simple apology

16:59and the one she inflicted on me is one of them he left the room slamming the door leaving a silence

17:09full of pain digna put her hands to her face defeated the chain of suffering seemed endless

17:17each link forged in the past continued to hurt in the present

17:20shortly after andres looking to build bridges showed up at the merino house

17:30he wanted to talk to his father to try to reconcile now that so many truths had come to light

17:38he found him in his office surrounded by papers that he didn't look at

17:42his gaze fixed on a fixed point on the wall where a portrait of jesus used to hang

17:46father we have to talk andres said closing the door carefully damien didn't even turn around

17:56i have nothing to talk about yes you do you have to talk with dignity you have to forgive her

18:03that word forgive seemed to shake damien from his lethargy

18:08he turned in his chair and andres saw in his eyes a pain so deep that it made his heart shrink

18:12forgive forgive forgive the woman who knew my son was a monster and did nothing

18:20the woman who watched him waste away in his own evil and remained silent

18:24the one who let me live in ignorance cherishing the memory of a saint who never existed

18:31she did it out of loyalty to her brother out of fear she was trapped don't talk to me about traps

18:36damien interrupted him standing up the wound of losing a child andres is something you will never

18:44understand it's a black hole that eats you up from the inside for years i've lived with that hole

18:51consoling myself with the idea that jesus was a good man taken too soon

18:58and it was all a lie digna knew the truth she knew the torment begonia suffered

19:03and she did nothing nothing to ease my pain nothing to bring justice she left me to mourn a ghost

19:12and she asks me to forgive her never to let her go to hell his father's vehemence left andres speechless

19:21he understood that damien's wound was not only due to the death of jesus but to the death of the idea of jesus

19:26it was a betrayal of his memory of his fatherly love and that was a wound that for the moment was too deep to heal

19:39forgiveness for now was an unattainable peak

19:43life despite personal tragedies continued its course in the factory and in the stores

19:47in the greenhouse luis looked for christina ever since luis had told him the story of her father

19:56he had felt an overwhelming need to be near her to offer her his unconditional support

20:03he found her transplanting some small violets her hands covered in soil her expression focused

20:09hello he said softly so as not to scare her she looked up and gave him a small smile although her eyes were

20:18still clouded with sadness hello luis hey i heard about your father he said coming closer luce told me

20:30i wanted to tell you that i'm so sorry for everything you've been through

20:34thank you i'm still trying to process it all

20:39it's like my whole life has been a lie it's not a lie

20:44it's a truth that's taken a long time to come to light he corrected

20:51and i want you to know that if you need anything anything at all a shoulder to cry on someone to

20:56talk to or just someone to be silent by your side i'm here

20:59his words were genuine his gaze warm and full of affection christina felt touched

21:10luis's kindness was a beacon in the darkness however his closeness also confused her

21:19after his reconciliation with luce she had assumed that any hint of feeling between them was a thing of

21:24the past but the intensity of his gaze the way his hand brushed against hers as he passed her a

21:31flower pot stirred an uncomfortable doubt in her was it just friendship and empathy or was there

21:38something more to his gesture she didn't dare ask afraid of complicating matters further things

21:44she simply felt grateful but bewildered thank you luis it means a lot to me

21:54in the meantime irene feeling deeply grateful headed to the big house to talk to damien

22:02she found him walking in the garden his figure bent over with the weight of grief

22:06damien called out to him in a soft voice

22:11he stopped and turned upon seeing her his grim expression softened slightly irene i wasn't expecting

22:18you i just wanted to thank you for everything i know you were the one who hired the detective to look

22:24for jose i know that despite all the harm my brother did to you you didn't hesitate to help me

22:31without you i would never have had the chance to reunite with them

22:38you've given me back my daughter and the love of my life

22:41i have no words to express what that means

22:45damien nodded a lump of emotion forming in his throat

22:49amidst so much betrayal and lies irene's sincere gratitude was a small bomb

22:56i did what i thought was right pedro was a canaya and what he did to you was unspeakable

23:01i'm glad you can finally be together they were silent for a moment looking at the roses in the garden

23:11i'm so sorry about jesus damien she said finally and about digna i know you're suffering

23:19this family seems doomed to suffer he replied bitterly

23:24but your story at least gives me a little hope that sometimes things can be fixed

23:31they can and they will irene assured him placing a hand on his arm in a friendly gesture

23:38we are friends damien and friends help each other weather storms

23:43he looked at her and for the first time in days a hint of a smile appeared on his lips

23:50thank you irene be my friend again it's something i need the conversation was brief but meaningful

23:57a small bridge of normality and affection built over a field of ruins the tension moved into the factory

24:05in the afternoon it was the day of the meeting with the american businessmen a crucial agreement

24:11for the future of the queen's perfumeries

24:16tasio promoted to director but still insecure in his new role nervously reviewed his notes

24:22besides him gabriel watched with a malicious smile their plan was simple

24:31take advantage of tasio's limited knowledge of languages to boycott the meeting so distrust and

24:36make the the deal would fall through thus demonstrating the incompetence of the new

24:40director and in the process hurting andres who had pushed for the deal quote

24:44are you ready tasio gabriel asked with false camaraderie the chicagoans don't mess around

24:54either you convince them in the first five minutes or we're doomed

24:58don't worry i have it all under control tasio replied wiping the sweat from his brow

25:05he had no control at all

25:07just as the americans two burly stern looking men were being led into the meeting room the door opened

25:15again andres entered the room his imposing and serene presence instantly filling the space

25:25i apologize for the delay he said in his flawless fluent english welcome gentlemen i am andres de la reina

25:33it's a pleasure to finally meet you in person

25:37bienvenidos senores soy andres de la reina

25:42it's a pleasure to meet you in person gabriel's face contorted

25:47panic and fury fought for control of his expression

25:52andres what are you doing here tasio and i were taking care of this he hissed in spanish i know

25:58but a deal of this magnitude requires the presence of senior management

26:06don't worry gabriel i'm just here to observe andres replied though his tone left no doubt as

26:12to who would be calling the shots

26:17tasio for his part felt a wave of relief so immense that his knees almost buckled

26:22andres how great to see you come in come in please sit with us he said his gratitude evident

26:35the meeting began the americans outlined their terms speaking in rapid jargon filled english

26:44gabriel tried to intervene by translating deliberately clumsy and deceptive trying to create misunderstandings

26:52they are not sure about our production capacity they say they are not sure about our production

27:00capacity gabriel translated when in reality the americans had only asked about delivery times

27:08before tasio could panic andres intervened with disarming com

27:15forg mys translation what mr harrison is asking about our delivery logistics which

27:21we have already optimized set to meet your deadlines

27:27in fact if you look at page five of the proposal pardon and le traducion damn i primo

27:34what mr harrison is asking about is delivery logistics which we have already optimized set to meet your

27:39deadlines

27:44in fact if you look at page five of the proposal andres dismantled each of gabriel's attempts at sabotage

27:49with an efficiency and professionalism that left the americans impressed and gabriel humiliated

27:57he conducted the negotiation with the master's hand demonstrating a deep knowledge of the market

28:02and a vision for the future that tasio could only admire by the end of the meeting not only had the deal

28:08been saved but also the deal itself agreement but that the initial conditions had improved

28:13the americans left smiling shaking andres's hand enthusiastically

28:22when they were alone the atmosphere in the room was icy

28:25quote happy gabriel snapped his voice shaking with rage

28:31you had to come and steal my thunder didn't you you can't stand it when anyone but you can succeed

28:36the only one who was about to ruin this was you gabriel andres replied his voice cold as ice

28:47i saw your eyes i know exactly what you were trying to do did you want tasio to fail

28:53did you want the company to fail why because of your stupid jealousy grow up already

28:59the future of many people depends on this company i won't let your insecurities jeopardize it quote

29:09without waiting for an answer andres left the room tasio approached gabriel his expression was

29:15a mixture of disappointment and anger

29:19you almost ruined everything by the way i don't know what's wrong with you gabriel but this this is

29:24not for you i will forgive easily gabriel was left alone in the room defeat and humiliation eating

29:31away at him his resentment towards andres had reached a new and dangerous level

29:38begonia sought refuge in the dispensary she needed to talk to lose

29:42the only person she felt she could trust completely she found

29:48her sorting some medicine bottles the calm of the place contrasting with the chaos of her emotions

29:54lose you have a minute lose turned and seeing her friend's anguished face stop what she was doing

30:02immediately

30:05of course sit down what's wrong are you pale they sat down in the small office and begonia

30:11unable to contain herself any longer broke down i can't take it anymore lose i feel like i'm drowning

30:19It's because of Jesus, because of the secret, that's why, and

30:22It's because of Gabriel, she confessed, her voice trembling.

30:28Lately he's been changing, or maybe he's always been like this and I didn't want to see it.

30:33He's jealous, possessive.

30:36Today at breakfast he caused a scene because of my closeness to Andres.

30:42And the way he looked at me, his words, reminded me so much of Jesus,

30:46that same irrational anger, that need for control.

30:51I'm scared, Luz. Luz listened to her attentively, her expression was serious.

30:56Begonia, you have to be very careful.

31:01Abusive behavior patterns often run in families.

31:05Gabriel grew up watching his brother's example.

31:08I know it and it terrifies me because I'm not alone in this anymore.

31:12Begonia put a hand to her belly, her eyes full of tears.

31:19How am I going to be honest with him?

31:21How do I tell him that I'm waiting a child of his own when every day that passes scares me more?

31:25I feel like this pregnancy has come at the worst possible time.

31:30I'm single, living at my father-in-law's house, depending on his charity.

31:34What is he going to do with me?

31:36What is he going to do with this child?

31:39Luz hugged her tightly.

31:40Hey, calm down, you're not alone.

31:43You have me and we'll find a solution.

31:46I promise you, but you're right about one thing.

31:50You have to think very carefully about how and when you break the news to him.

31:55His reaction could be unpredictable and your safety and that of the baby comes first.

32:02Luz's words, while realistic and terrifying, were also a comfort.

32:06Having a plan, even if it was incipient, gave Begonia a small sense of control.

32:15But fear was still lurking in her heart.

32:18In the store, normality was also trying to make its way.

32:21Claudia noticed that Christina had not spent the night in the room they shared.

32:28When she finally appeared, looking tired but strangely calm, she approached her with concern.

32:38Christina, where have you been?

32:40I was so worried.

32:42Christina smiled weakly at her.

32:44Don't worry, I was at the clinic with my father.

32:48Claudia looked at her, confused, with your father.

32:53And then Christina told her everything.

32:56The story of Jose, Don Pedro's cruelty, the life of lies that she and her mother had lived.

33:01Claudia listened with her mouth open to every word, destroying the idealized image she had always had of her father-in-law.

33:12The kind and upright man she thought she knew was in reality a monster capable of destroying families on a whim.

33:18No, I can't believe it.

33:23Claudia stammered.

33:25Don Pedro did that, he did it and much more, Christina affirmed.

33:31I have spent my life hating my father for abandoning me and it turns out that it was the greatest act of love he could do.

33:39Claudia felt overwhelmed.

33:41Suddenly she saw Irene with different eyes.

33:44She understood her sadness, her apparent fragility.

33:46She saw herself reflected in her, in the woman who had fallen in love with a man with a hidden face.

33:55Irene's suffering was no longer foreign to her.

33:58It was a mirror of what she herself could have experienced.

34:03The revelation left her shocked and with a deep sense of empathy towards the woman she had only seen as a rival until now.

34:12The day brought another surprise, this time through the radio waves.

34:16Emma Gobantes, the actress hired to be the face of the new perfume Passiana Colta, was giving a live interview.

34:23In the store, Carmen, Gemma and Tissio huddled around the apparatus, eager to hear her.

34:32Even Don Augustine, the parish priest, who was passing by, stopped to listen, interested in the promotion of a product of the cologne.

34:42The idea was for Emma to present the perfume as something elegant, sophisticated, with a touch of mystery.

34:50However, the actress had her own ideas.

34:55And tell us, Miss Gobantes, said the announcer.

34:59What does hidden passion evoke in you?

35:02Oh, my dear, Emma replied in a honeyed and suggestive voice.

35:06It reminds me of silk sheets, whispers in the dark, forbidden promises.

35:14Is a perfume for women, who are not afraid to sin.

35:18One drop on the neck and even the holiest man would think of breaking his vows.

35:23It's

35:23Pure Dynamite

35:26A deathly silence fell over the shop, broken only by Don Augustine's clearing of his throat, his face turning from interested to a deep shade of scarlet.

35:38Merciful God, he exclaimed.

35:40Quote

35:40What is this sinful woman saying, breaking her vows?

35:45This is a scandal.

35:47Tassio threw his hands to his head.

35:50She's going to ruin us.

35:52No one will want to buy a perfume that sounds like an invitation to adultery.

35:56Carmen and Gemma tried to hold back their laughter, although they shared their concerns.

36:02Emma Gobante's interview, far from improving the perfume's image, had sunk it into the mire of scandal.

36:11However, to their utter astonishment, barely half an hour after the interview ended, the door of the shop opened.

36:20And then again and again a wave of customers, women of all ages, entered, asking with a knowing smile.

36:26Excuse me, do you have that new perfume?

36:32The sinful Tassio, Don Augustine, and the girls looked at each other in astonishment.

36:36The disastrous interview, against all odds, had aroused the curiosity and morbidity of the clientele.

36:47Hidden passion was selling like hotcakes.

36:50Perhaps, after all, it hadn't been such a bad idea.

36:53While the perfume of scandal was running out on the shelves, two of the queen's cousins found a moment of peace.

37:04Joaquin, still affected by the conversation with his mother, crossed paths with Andres in the factory warehouse.

37:10Andres, Joaquin called him, his tone unusually hesitant.

37:16Tell me, Joaquin, I wanted to ask you something.

37:21Now that you know the truth about my aunt Dignia and what happened with Jesus.

37:25Are you going to take reprisals against her, against us?

37:28Andres looked at him and for the first time in a long time, Joaquin did not see in his eyes the boss or the rival, but his cousin.

37:39Not his family.

37:41Joaquin, how could you think that?

37:43Andres answered honestly.

37:44Your mother made a mistake.

37:48A terrible mistake, yes, she fell when she should have spoken.

37:53But she did it to protect her family in her own twisted way.

37:57I don't judge her.

37:58I just feel sorry for all of us.

38:02For everything we've lost because of secrets.

38:05Joaquin felt a weight lift off his shoulders.

38:07The tension he had felt since his mother's confession dissipated, replaced by a wave of gratitude.

38:18Thank you, Andres.

38:19There's nothing to be thankful for, Andres said, taking a step toward him.

38:26We are family, Joaquin, you, me, Luis, we are all we have left.

38:31We have to stick together.

38:32More now than ever, Andres' words, spoken with a new gravity and maturity, broke down Joaquin's last defenses.

38:45All the pain, the anger over Irene's betrayal, the fear for his family's future, came flooding back in tears that he couldn't hold back.

38:55Andres, without hesitating for a moment, pulled him close and hugged him.

38:59It was an awkward hug at first, that of two men unaccustomed to showing their emotions, but then it became a firm embrace, full of meaning.

39:11It was forgiveness, reconciliation, the promise of a new beginning.

39:17Merged in that embrace, the two cousins sealed a silent pact to rebuild their family's walls brick by brick.

39:22Andres, determined, assumed the leadership that was his right not only in the company but also in the heart of his battered clan, ready to ease tensions and forge a better future.

39:39Night fell over the estate, bringing with it darkness and the time for final confessions.

39:43Gabriel, eaten up by the suspicions that Maria had stoked and by the humiliation suffered at the meeting, decided that he could wait no longer.

39:54He needed.

39:57Answers.

39:58He looked for Begonia and found her in the library trying to read a book and not getting past the same page.

40:05Begonia, we need to talk now.

40:07She looked up, her heart skipping a beat at the grim, determined expression on his face.

40:18Gabriel, I'm tired.

40:19Can it wait until tomorrow?

40:21No, it can't wait, he insisted, closing the door behind him.

40:26The sound of the lock sent a shiver down Begonia's spine.

40:30She felt trapped.

40:33I want you to tell me the truth.

40:35What's going on between you and Andres?

40:37Begonia sighed, exhaustion fighting against growing irritation.

40:43I've told you, it's okay.

40:45We're family, and we're supporting each other through a difficult time.

40:49That's all.

40:51Don't lie to me.

40:52His voice rose, and in it Begonia heard the unmistakable, terrifying echo of Jesus.

40:59I've seen you, I've seen the way you look at each other, the way you whisper, share something, and I want to know what it is.

41:05Have you fallen into his arms again?

41:07Is that it?

41:08After everything you and I have been through, are you going back to him?

41:11Every word was an accusation, a blow, the same paranoid distrust, the same possessive rage.

41:19It was as if the ghost of her late husband had entered her brother's body.

41:25The fear she had felt all day transformed into a wave of fury and desperation.

41:33She was tired of the secrets, tired of the pressure, tired of being afraid.

41:39If he wanted the truth, he was going to have a piece of her.

41:42A truth that would change everything.

41:46She stood up, facing him, her eyes shining with a mixture of defiance and unshed tears.

41:54Do you want to know why I'm so strange?

41:56Do you want to know why I lean on Andres?

41:58Do you want to know why I can't be calm?

42:00Her voice trembled, but it was firm.

42:05Gabriel, taken aback by her sudden change in attitude, looked at her, not knowing what to say.

42:10Yes, she managed to articulate.

42:14Begonia took a deep breath, summoning all the courage she had left.

42:20The reaction she had feared so much was about to come true, but she could bear the pressure no longer.

42:28I am pregnant, Gabriel.

42:30The words hung in the thick air of the library.

42:35Pregnant.

42:36I am carrying your child.

42:38Gabriel froze.

42:40The color drained from his face, leaving behind a cerulean pallor.

42:47His mouth opened slightly, but no sound came out.

42:51The anger, the jealousy, the suspicion.

42:55All vanished, replaced by utter shock, total disbelief.

42:59There was no joy on his face.

43:04No happy surprise, just a stunned emptiness, a vacant gaze that seemed not to see her, as if he were staring into the abyss that had just opened up beneath him.

43:13Begonia watched his face, her heart sinking with each second of silence.

43:19This was the reaction she had feared.

43:22The one she had described to Lucia.

43:25No hug, no words of comfort or joy.

43:28Just that deafening silence, that expressionless face, nothingness.

43:35Disappointment hit her like a slap in the face.

43:40In that instant, she knew that her worst fears had come true.

43:43The man before her was not her savior, he was not her future, he was just another queen with his own demons and his own weaknesses.

43:52And she was once again terribly alone, with a life growing inside her and a future more uncertain and terrifying than ever.

44:05The confession that should have united them had just opened an unfathomable rift between them.
