EPILOGUE AND ENDING

The contractions intensified more and more as I felt one was pushing, little by little I felt like my baby broke my insides, but I didn't mind enduring the pain, all I wanted was to see her beautiful face and of course that she was born well, although I will be totally destroyed.

After pushing for about 10 minutes, I can hear the sound that made me the happiest in life, the saint of my little baby, the employee uncovered her nose as best she could, allowing air to pass through so she could breathe and with disinfected scissors he cut her umbilical cord, wraps her in one of the blankets we already had ready for her birth and hands her over to me.

The funniest part of the case is that my dear husband was passed out on the chair next to my bed, he had not even realized that the baby had already been born, since from the moment he began to see the blood running through my legs I immediately lost consciousness, the employee and I smiled, because Carlos was such a brave man, but he had not been able to get over the fact of having seen his baby born.

A few minutes later my daughter arrives with the doctor who does what is appropriate in these cases, checks that my little baby is fine and that obviously I am also after having given birth.

“Well, Mrs. Amanda, for having had a home birth, I can tell you that it went very well. I don't think there is a need to go to the hospital because they are both in perfect condition. However, if you notice that something is happening that could affect you, please do not hesitate. to go to the nearest medical center, tomorrow I will also come to check them again to see how they are doing. For now, it is important that they change from this bed that is dirty from childbirth and begin to rest and enjoy their baby, she is a totally healthy girl and quite big I think we can wait 3 days to go to the hospital to check her, tomorrow I will come and I'll give him the newborn vaccine and everything will be fine.”

"Thank you very much, doctor, for coming and for telling us that everything was fine, see you tomorrow." The gynecologist leaves my room, Carlos, after having fainted for almost an hour, now he was enthralled with the little girl, he just kept looking at her with his finger caressed her little cheek, giving little soft spikes to her feet.

My children were so happy for the arrival of the new member of the family, everyone was enraptured around her, it was as if a goddess had arrived to light the way, if she was so desired and so full of love for my family who at this moment was giving me the last touch of happiness.

On the other hand, Lucía had decided to make her life far from the city, however, from time to time she would call me, especially from the moment she found out she was pregnant. Her role as mother did not give her time to do anything at all. but with the money I had given her from Christopher, she had started a business in the small town where they had gone to live.

They had placed a beautiful pastry shop with her mother, Samantha, on the contrary, had returned to the city, because she discovered that she was still deeply in love with my daughter and they began a new relationship from scratch, where there is respect for her condition and the way they loved each other was always present, because there was no one who would judge them and tell them that it was not right for them to love each other.

They had even been living together for a couple of months because they thought that no one could live without the other, even though that seemed a bit crazy to me, the beginning now understood that love has no age, it has no gender, it does not have a date or calendar.

Well, I was the least appropriate person to tell them something, I had married a man much younger than me, and he had been my first lover, we hadn't even had a formal relationship because when I started with Carlos I was still married to Christopher.

The business of my company was going much better every day, things were turning out as we had planned, and it is that after so much pain and anguish it was always good that the things, we so longed for were present.

From time to time, he would visit Serena at the cemetery, he would bring flowers to her abandoned grave, because in all this time no one had appeared to claim his presence until one day, a girl very similar to her approached him. grave and began to cry.

I approached her and asked her who she was, she replied that she was Serena's sister, who she had been looking for a long time, but that her sister lost track of her since her mother passed away, because this causes her such sadness. deep that she fell into a depressive state, and that's how it was when she went to work with the family where Christopher met her.

I had the opportunity to learn the true story of my husband's lover, well, one of my husband's two lovers, who really hurt my family and me personally.

But listening to Serena's sister and the whole context of the situation, I was able to realize that she was also making a victim, it was simply a helpless woman with no family who lost the most precious thing she had, and that all those situations led her to make the mistakes she had made, although it was true that Serena had no heart, the worst thing that could have happened to her was to have met you with my ex-husband.

When I found out that she already had someone to cry for her, I decided that I was going to return to the cemetery only from time to time, because her soul no longer needed me at all.

In jail, things had gotten worse for Christopher, a brother of the policeman he murdered was being held for corruption in the same jail with him, despite the fact that my ex-husband was not a violent person in jail because he knew that everyone here The world was going to react against him, the policeman's brother was looking for him to kill him, because he wanted to take justice into his own hands because he had taken away one of the people he loved the most in life.

A few days before my delivery I received a call from jail where they informed me that this man had murdered my ex-husband, when he was sleeping he took a knife and stabbed him many times, it had been too cruel a death for him, but to tell the truth That is why Christ had turned you into a ghost for me and of course for Lucía too, my ex-husband was simply given a Christian burial, they were outside the country for a long time while all this happened, when they returned they wanted to claim their inheritances, but It was already too late because Lucía had taken that money a long time ago and I wasn't going to give them a single penny of mine so they had to resign themselves to where they came from.

In my house the topic of Christopher was completely canceled, his name was not even mentioned, even though my son Santiago loved him very much because he was his father, after everything that happened and knowing the evil that inhabited his being simply, he omitted the idea that he had a dad.

It was hard for him because he had to attend psychological treatment for several months, but if he wanted, he could talk to Christopher again, but Santiago really didn't want him anymore.

It was a decision that he, in his mature state, had only made and I had nothing to do there.

So little by little things fell into place, I never really wanted the death of my ex-husband, because I always recognized that he had been my first love, maybe I was wrong to think that he was the love of my life because I can really to say that the love of my life is about Carlos, that he arrived at the moment when I needed him the most, that although the beginning is true, things between the two did not go as we wanted, true love triumphs over anything, and he showed me that at the moment he saved my life, because otherwise I wouldn't be telling this story.

Nor can I lie The small detail of my husband's best lover, because Lucía will become that, she was the best lover that any husband could have, because despite the sentimental ups and downs he felt, justice was able to prevail in her and thanks to she can be said to be alive, that although she was my husband's lover for 3 years, she was also another victim of his inventions, his bad decisions and above all his worst attitude.

It was making it more difficult for her than for me to overcome things, but I was trying, the death of Christ Pearl took me by surprise, but it's the cycle of life, I don't deny what at the beginning of all this, I just wanted revenge for the infidelities that he had committed.

I wanted to fill Lucia's pockets with money so that she would be in my favor and we would destroy my ex-husband with all the bad intentions. After the kidnapping I realized that I was acting the same or worse than him, so for a moment I let myself go. for ambition and for all the money that was at stake, and for not losing it almost I lose myself.

This had left me a great life lesson because we cannot always be in control of everything we want, much less control over the feelings of others, because there came a time when I became obsessed with why my husband loved me. But he wasn't giving her the freedom to tell him who to stay with either, because deep down in his heart he was in love with his lover.

But his ambition is greed, he did not let him see beyond what his heart offered him, he allowed himself to be tempted by the beauty and pleasure that a young woman much younger than Lucía and I offered him, and that became his total decline and in her weakness, because unfortunately Serena became that bad influence that no married man wants to have.

They had both planned to destroy me to keep all my money when I realized their plans I also wanted to destroy them and not allow them to touch a single coin but after so many things that happened, after so many tragedies and that life had snatched all the opportunities they had to be better, I have realized that money is only something ephemeral that one way or another is achieved, but values, feelings, fidelity, love and respect are priceless, what it is better to have a noble and humble person by your side but who is unconditional and my case was with Carlos despite the fact that I had all the money in the world, he worked and was totally independent of my money, he had made the decision to enter college so I can keep up with myself and take care of my business, or so he said but for me he was already what I needed and totally perfect, because I had proposed to take care of my little baby because I really was totally in love with her.

From the moment she was born, there was not a day that I did not dream of being by her side all the time, I became a devoted mother, although it had only been all these years, I can say with total certainty that at this moment she was enjoying motherhood, she was enjoying the love of a family and a relationship with a wonderful man.

Finally, after so many years of looking for a home, having been married to the wrong man, thinking that he was the love of my life, I can thank my husband's best lover, because thanks here Lucía appeared on the life of Christ part I had the opportunity to value what I had much more, I fell in love with the most wonderful man in the world, I was able to understand the diversity of people, in this case, understand my daughter, be more aware of my son again, I was enjoying a planned and responsible motherhood with the support of the man I loved because Carlos was an unconditional father he was with me the whole time while our daughter turned 4 months old, then he returned to the company to take care of what I had entrusted to him, He really wanted to excel and get ahead and that was worth much more than millions of dollars, Carlos made me feel proud of him.

It's been 10 years since I married him, everything has been rosy, I can't lie, there are days when I want him to go live far from my house, but I think about that for 3 seconds while my next menopause is to arrive, then I remember all the love we felt for each other and again we are embraced melting our bodies making love to each other, because despite the time the flame was still alive, Thank you for accompanying me to tell you my stories, I am still a good friend of Lucia, she could never be my enemy.

End.
