THIRD POV They quietly arrived at the mansion, but Caridad remembered what Levy did at the meeting. “Why did you agree? What if Ana finds out?” Caridad asked Don Levy, who stopped and looked back at them. “She won’t find out. The chief knows what he’s doing, so I can rely on him,” Levy replied seriously. Caridad stopped and furrowed her brow as she looked at her husband. “Do you have a plan?” Don Levy smirked and looked at his wife. “If Ana thinks she can deceive me, she’s wrong,” he said with a smirk. Caridad’s eyes widened in surprise. “W-what?” Caridad was still confused because she thought her husband was really going to open Ana’s case. Don Levy approached Caridad and caressed her cheek with a smile. “Honey, we’re at the top. Neither Ana nor Don Martin can ruin our family and my ambitions.” He lowered his touch to Caridad's neck, causing her to flinch. “I opened the case, so Ana wouldn’t suspect us. I know she has a reason for hiding for over six years… If she gets in the
THIRD POVLevi and Caridad went to the police station to meet the new chief of San Alfonso. They were greeted by other officers, who seemed surprised by their arrival.“Good morning. Is the new chief here?” Levi asked. A female officer nodded in response.The female police officer knocked on the chief’s office and announced, “The Mayor and his wife are here.”“Come in!” the chief replied.Levi and Caridad exchanged looks, feeling unsure about the new chief. His voice didn’t sound like that of a typical police officer.The female officer bowed and opened the office door, inviting them inside. Levi nodded and entered.The chief paused in his work, smiled, and then lifted his gaze to face the mayor of San Alfonso.The chief stood up and greeted the mayor of San Alfonso with a smile. “You must be Don Levi?” he asked, extending his hand for a handshake. “I’m Tyron Chen, the new chief of police in San Alfonso. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, Mayor, and Lady Caridad.” He smiled at Levi,
CHLOE’s POV(“What the heck, girl? Is that true?!”)I rolled my eyes and leaned back against the headboard of the bed.“Yes, she’s alive! That b***h is alive!” I angrily exclaimed to my friend on the video call.My friend’s eyes widened in disbelief.“Oh my gosh! What was Mateo’s reaction?” she asked.I clenched my fists. “What do you think? He was completely shocked! And now he's following Ana around like a lost puppy!”(“Really? Oh no, girl! She might be stealing Mateo from you!”) she joked.I glared at her. “I will not let that happen! Mateo is mine!”I was interrupted by a knock on my door.“Who is it? You’re disturbing me!” I shouted, getting up to answer the door.Mateo wasn’t at the Hacienda, either, as he had business to attend to. There were problems with his company that we couldn’t understand, and it seemed like investors were starting to pull out.I’m sure that was Ana’s doing! That bitch!I shook my head and finally opened the door.“Ma’am, someone left this outside the H
When Ana returned to the Hacienda, she suddenly heard beautiful music coming from the piano. As she entered, she noticed that the lights were off, and the only sound she could hear was the piano. She followed the music and was surprised to find Martin playing the piano.Leaning against the wall, she watched Martin play with a grin on her face, and she also noticed a bottle of wine next to him.“How was it?” he asked.Ana blinked, realizing that Martin had finished playing without her noticing because she was so engrossed in the music.“Beautiful! I didn’t know you could play the piano,” Ana said with a smile. Martin raised an eyebrow and shook his head slightly.“No, not that. How was it going back to the Villalobos hacienda?” She paused and hesitated, but later on, Ana just smiled and approached Martin to join his Wine night.“Chloe is funny! I didn’t expect her to still have fears,” Ana said with a laugh. Martin’s face turned serious as he looked at Ana before grinning.“She knows
When they arrived at the mansion after the lunch meeting, Mateo immediately confronted his wife.“Are you going crazy?!” Mateo pulled Chloe tightly by the arm.Chloe winced as she tried to free her arm from Mateo’s grip. “Ouch! You’re hurting me, Mateo!” Chloe cried.Mateo tightened his grip even more. “You’regoing to get hurt! What did you do?!” Mateo angrily demanded.Chloe begged to be released. “P-please… Y-you’re hurting me,”Mateo ignored her pleas as his anger took over.“Answer me! What did you do? You embarrassed Ana!”Chloe stopped and looked at Mateo, feeling even more nervous, as she had never seen her husband so mad before.“Mateo, I’m your wife! I just did what was right!” Chloe cried out. Mateo turned to her and laughed sarcastically.“Right? Was what you did earlier right?!”Chloe pushed Mateo and confronted him. “YES! Ever since she arrived, everything has been chaotic! Open your damn eyes, Mateo! She’s not your wife anymore! Do you understand?!”In his anger, Mateo
ANA’s POVAs I looked around San Alfonso, I didn’t realize that the car had already stopped.“Lady Ana,”I looked at Alexis and raised my eyebrows, wondering why we had stopped. “Hmm?”He scratched his head and seemed hesitant to speak.“Alexis, what’s going on?” I asked him. He took a deep breath and pointed towards the entrance of the ranch.“It’s forbidden to enter the Montes’ territory,”I furrowed my brow, not understanding what he was saying.“Their properties have been closed for a long time. Don Levi also prohibited us from going to this area.”What?“How did he forbid it? Wasn’t the former Vice Mayor the pillar of the Montes’ family?” I asked. He sighed and shook his head slowly.“Since the incident in San Alfonso, they have closed the Montes’ properties. It was also Don Levi’s order, as it would be detrimental to the future of San Alfonso.”I stopped when I heard that story before, when I overheard Martin talking to his uncle.“How long have you been here in San Alfonso, Ale
THIRD POVThe long-awaited night for Ana has finally arrived…“Chloe, Mateo, please do not fight at Ana’s party,” Caridad said seriously, as they still avoided eye contact.“Show your Villalobos pride. Don’t embarrass us. There will be many guests at Ana’s party,” Don Levi added, adjusting his necktie.Chloe just rolled her eyes and gave Mateo a dirty look, who still couldn’t speak properly after coming home completely drunk.“Mateo, show everyone your love for your wife,” Caridad said seriously.Mateo paused and looked at his mother. “Ana is the only wife I have.”Chloe’s eyes widened as she heard her husband’s voice for the first time since he came home, as he had been silent ever since.Don Levi cleared his throat and put his hand on Mateo’s shoulder. “Son, you will take over for me when I retire. And Ana? She’s no longer your wife, okay? She’s our enemy,” Don Levi said softly to his son, who just brushed his hand away and adjusted his outfit.Don Levi sighed at his daughter’s acti
Ana finished playing the song, and a moment of silence followed. The audience was captivated, and familiar music filled the room. Ana’s fingers danced across the piano keys, and the audience, both familiar and foreign, rose to their feet to applaud her performance.Ana wiped away tears from her eyes and looked around in disbelief. “Martin, we thought… Ana didn’t know how to play the piano,” one of her friends said.“Yeah, I remember that. We taught her because she said she didn’t know how to play any instruments, right?”“She’s outstanding!”Ignoring his friends’ comments, Martin continued to stare at Ana, who was still staring blankly at the piano.The host coughed and quickly made his way to the stage to praise Ana. “Wow! That was an outstanding performance, Lady Ana!”Ana blinked and smiled at the host before standing up to face the audience. “How did you learn to play the piano, Lady Ana?” the host asked.Ana smiled and took a deep breath. “I don’t know, to be honest. I don’t kno
