“Why?” she asked quietly.
“How could you do this behind my back?”
Behind your back?” Mrs. Moreno laughed. “Sofía García, what have you given my son in five years?
You can’t even give us grandchildren. Javier is our only son. He needs a lineage.”
The insult hit like a blade… because Javier had always refused testing.
Always claimed he was “too busy.”
Yet somehow, the blame had always drifted back to Sofía.
Sofía swallowed. “Then why a secret wedding?”
“Because you’d never allow it,” Mrs. Moreno snapped.
“You’re selfish. Married to your career. Laura is wife material.
And most importantly—she’s fertile.”
Then she dropped the next bomb like it was gossip:
“She’s already two months pregnant. With Javier’s baby.”
Sofía’s blood turned to ice.
Two months meant this wasn’t new.
It meant every trip had been a lie.
It meant betrayal had been living inside her home for a long time, wearing her husband’s face.
“Of course,” Mrs. Moreno replied proudly.
“I found Laura for him. A woman who serves her husband. Accept it, Sofía.
Support him. If you behave, you’ll be blessed.”
Then—
Click.
The line went dead.
Sofía stared at her phone.
No tears.
Only one thought, sharp and clean:
They didn’t just betray me. They counted on me staying quiet.
She inhaled once—slow, controlled.
Then she made the call that turned heartbreak into war.
She dialed her personal lawyer.
“Attorney Torres,” she said, voice steady, “I need you.
Tonight.”
