When I told Elena about the incident with Maria, she suggested that we move in together. Living under the same roof brought a comforting rhythm to my days. Each evening, I would pick her up from the hospital after work.
On this day, Elena was scheduled for a late surgery, so I dozed off in one of the office chairs in her department while waiting.
When I woke up, I spotted Hector walking by, his arm wrapped tightly around a young
woman I didn’t recognize.
Hector was grinning from ear to ear as he looked at the document in his hand.
Don’t worry, Lola,” he said. “As soon as you have the baby, I’ll marry you.”
Lola, however, didn’t seem convinced. She pouted, clearly displeased. “Why delay it again? You promised you’d marry me as soon as I got pregnant!”
Hector chuckled, his grin unshaken. “You know how it is. That shrew won’t leave me alone now
that she’s out on the street. She has no income and keeps clinging to me. Give me a little time to
sort things out, okay?”
Lola sighed, clearly unhappy but ultimately relenting.
“Fine.”
As much as I despised Hector’s behavior, I chose to stay out of it. People made their own
beds, after all.
A short while later, Lola excused herself to use the restroom. Moments later, a piercing
scream echoed down the hall.
I rushed to the scene, only to find Maria, dressed entirely in black, dragging Lola out of the
restroom by her hair.
It took me a moment to recognize Maria; she looked older, haggard, and completely
unhinged.
“You whore!” Maria screamed, her voice laced with fury. “How dare you steal my man!”
Hector rushed over, shoving Maria aside.
He immediately turned to Lola, soothing her. Then, as if it weren’t enough, he turned back to
Maria and delivered a vicious kick to her side.
“Haven’t you had enough? What the hell is wrong with you? Making a scene in broad
daylight!”
Maria was beyond reason.
She pointed a shaking finger at the two of them, her voice cracking as she cried, “Hector! You bast**d! How could you do this to me?
I gave you everything! Everything!”
Her cries drew a growing crowd of onlookers.
Then, Maria tearfully complained to everyone how heartlessly Hector had treated her.
Moved by her tearful outburst, some began murmuring sympathetically. But Hector
a indifferent. He overaccion de cold as stone.

*Please,” she scoffed. “You’ve had three kids already. You’re nothing but a washed–up hag. Did you really think any man would still want you?”
Maria’s hand instinctively flew to her face..
Her fragile composure shattered.
In an instant, she lunged at Lola, grabbing her hair and pulling with all her strength.
The crowd tried to intervene but failed.
Maria fought with the desperation of someone who had lost everything.
Eventually, security arrived and managed to separate them after a prolonged struggle.
Lola lay on the floor, clutching her stomach and groaning in pain.
By some stroke of luck, the baby was unharmed.
But Maria wasn’t so fortunate. She was arrested for assault and faced charges for intentionally causing harm.
