Chapter
86: Unnatural Killers
Raquel
and Damián continued their heated conversation regarding Andres'
remarks about Carolina. Raquel seemed ready to accept Andres'
assertions that Carolina would do anything for money but Damián knew
his cousin much better than that. Raquel said she was looking into
things to prove her own suspicions, that Carolina was hiding
something, as this would ultimately hurt Santiago. Damián tried to
avoid further conversation on this, claiming to be very tired. As he
started to leave the room he wanted to know why that was such a big
deal to Raquel. She reminded Damián that Santiago was his friend
and business partner. He asked what proof she had and she said “You
know Andres; there was no proof.” Damián did an about face,
deciding he needed to speak to Andres right away. As he left the
room Raquel called Santiago's cell phone, which
was in the bedroom on the nightstand near Carolina.
Carolina
looked at the screen and answered. Raquel ended the connexion when
she heard Carolina's voice. She was then annoyed with herself.
Carolina called her back and she allowed the phone to ring several
times before answering. Raquel said she had called to talk to
Santiago, but no details came forth. She did finally mention the
recipe book used for the business, and Carolina said she needed it
right away. Raquel said she would meet her.
Santiago
drove Florencia home. She invited him for dinner but he said he had
things he needed to do. She told him she was concerned about him
because Carolina's brother was very dangerous. He convinced her he
would go straight home. She kissed him goodnight and went inside as
he buckled his seat belt. She smiled at him.
Raquel
and Carolina met at the catering facility and Raquel returned the
book to Carolina. They had a slightly strained conversation until
Raquel finally asked her whether Andres' statement that she had been
coming on to him was true. Carolina – justifiably – looked
shocked.
Andres
was in his office and Rueda at the police station as they spoke on
the phone. Andres wanted to know whether Rueda had spoken to
Vicente, but he had not; Vicente was out like a light as in “You
know how it is with drunks.” Andres wanted to go to the police
station to deal with him but Rueda advised him against this. Andres
wasn't happy with this but Rueda reminded him that this advice is
what he is paying him for and that he would not benefit by being seen
talking to Vicente. Andres threatened Rueda, saying that if he goes
down he'll drag him with him. Andres was about to lose his temper
completely as Azucena and Federico entered his office. Federico
wanted to discuss something with him but Andres tried to distract him
by dismissing him as being a child in an adult world. Federico would
not be put off. He was looking to protect his own and his family's
interests. He knew about product production and had ideas to
discuss. Azucena smirked at Andres from behind Federico's back.
Raquel
came out of Lola's hospital room, telling Santiago that Lola would be
alright. However, she made it clear she didn't trust Alina, making
observations about Alina's body language around Santiago. He told
Raquel “I have eyes only for you, nobody else.” However, she
knew that Alina was after him. He didn't believe this. He told her
she had nothing to worry about because he wasn't Damián. He went on
saying that he wanted to be with her out in the open with no care as
to the comments of others but she told him that was not possible at
the moment. She had to be on Damián's side and he had to be on his
children's. She was not happy during this, finally walking away
without a kiss.
Antonio
and Fernando discussed the possibility of planting someone in
Vicente's adjoining cell toget the goods on him. Antonio found the
idea of Rueda being Vicente's lawyer very fishy and Fernando said
that Andres had to be behind this somehow. He was sure that Vicente
and Andres were both mixed up in the money-laundering and they really
needed to release and watch him. Antonio finally agreed but was
impatient for this entire case's resolution.
Rueda
went to see Vicente in the rehab facility. This was to make sure he
wouldn't talk. He was detained originally for violating the
restraining order requested by his ex and needed to be cooperative.
If he cooperated he'd get out.
Sammy
met with Mia to talk about disposing of Alina. He suggested that she
lure Alina into a meeting about Nico – or to make peace – and
administer the poison after a distraction. She wasn't sure about
this. He asked “Wouldn't you like to see dead the woman who is
trying to steal your boyfriend?” Mia looked up and he said “You
and I are the same” and handed her the fatal substance.
Nico
and Bebo were at the hospital. Nico told Bebo not to worry about
Lola. He knew that Bebo was in love with his sister. Bebo asked
about Alina and Nico confided that he feared that his father would
also fall into her trap. Nacho arrived to get Bebo to go home with
him but Bebo insisted on staying for Lola's sake. Nacho then got
Santiago to leave with him to talk. Santiago told him he would tell
him but not there.
At
Santiago's house later he told Nacho that Damián had contacted
Saldivar about some problems they had during construction of the
houses and the man was looking for payment. Nacho laughed as though
this was totally contrary to what he had assumed. The phone rang
before he had a chance to explain.
Jovita
called because of Benjamín, who was behaving a bit strangely, crying
continuously, and asking strange questions. He told her he would be
there right away, then went out the door. As she was about to hang
up the phone Jovita was confronted by Mia who told her “Are you
trying to break up this family? My mother is getting back together
with my father, so don't go calling Santiago.”
At
the hospital Damián's doctor told Raquel that no visitors would be
permitted because Damián's condition is losing stability. The most
recent setback occurred when Miriam was with him. Raquel reminded
him that she had warned him about this before so could he allow
others but not Miriam. He seemed agreeable but advised her to be
prudent when visiting Damián. He left her alone with Damián who
was saying Carolina's name.
Santiago
arrived at the Becker house with one of Benjamín's favorite plush
toys. Jovita was grateful but before she could explain anything Mia
came down the stairs and coldly told him he could leave it and go.
“You are not Benjamín's father or my mother's husband. Is that
clear, Santiago?”
She
may have been thinking that the poison Sammy left with her could have
multiple uses.
Antonio
questioned Vicente in front of Rueda, asking questions about the man
who had used Damián's credit card. Vicente tried playing dumb but
Antonio wasn't accepting it. He asked about why he had been visiting
Damián at his office and what about the money. Vicente accused Lisa
of telling him this and tried to brush it off. He laughed when
Antonio told him that Damián was awake, saying that “He's more
dead than alive” but Antonio showed him the front page of the daily
paper.
“If
he confirms this, I'm charging you with extortion,” he said.
“No,
no he can't talk,” Vicente mumbled.
“Why?”
“No,
no, Damián can't talk,” he started, repeating himself several
times. Rueda tried to prevent Antonio saying more but Antonio didn't
stop, demanding to know more about Vicente's accomplice.
Santiago
called Raquel from his cell as he was driving away.
Mia
arrived at Alina's office, saying she won't take much of her time.
Alina asked whether she was there to interrogate her about her
relations with Nicolás, but Mia said “If you know my questions,
why don't you answer?”
By
then she was seated on the other side of the desk and her attention
was focused on the coffee cup. She asked to be invited for some and
Alina called her secretary on the intercom to bring in another cup of
coffee. She stared at Alina's coffee cup during this.
Antonio
asked Vicente why Damián couldn't talk.
“Because
he's half dead.”
“Stop
the bad jokes. What happened the night of the accident?”
“What
night?”
“The
night your sister died.”
“I
don't know. I wasn't there.”
“Where
were you?”
“In
a bar drinking a beer.”
“Someone
had to have seen you. To confirm your statement.”
“Actually
I remember I was drinking alone at home.”
“You
are lying.”
“That's
enough,” Rueda said.
“Why
can't Damián Becker talk? What secrets are there between the two of
you? What is the complicity?”
“I
didn't kill my sister. I protected her. I loved her, Antonio, I
couldn't –”
“That's
not enough, Vicente. If you don't tell the whole truth now, we can't
catch her killer. You will be the accomplice of your sister's
killer.”
“You
didn't hear me. I didn't kill my sister.”
“Then
we will have to wait until Damián is ready to talk for the whole
truth. You will remain under arrest for complicity and for
withholding evidence.” He rose and looked at Rueda. “Why don't
we keep him here? He'll be a protected witness. Does that interest
you that he will remain behind bars?”
Rueda
did look as though he couldn't believe he had gotten into this.
Antonio left. Rueda sat down.
“Rueda,
what he said is true.”
“Don't
worry about it. It's a tactic.”
Alina
was on the phone when her secretary entered with coffee for Mia. She
put it on the desk and was about to leave when Alina told her to wait
a minute. She got up, taking some papers with her to hand to her
secretary. As she gave her instructions Mia took out the drug
dealer-sized ziplock bag and put a small amount of the powder into
Alina's cup, which she stirred a few strokes. She put the spoon back
just in time as Alina came back in and took her seat. Mia watched as
she picked up the cup for a sip and asked if there were any more
questions. Mia looked as though she wanted to get out of there via
the Starfleet energy-matter scrambler, but that was not going to be
possible.
“I'm
going to confess something,” Alina said. “I'm very interested in
Santiago. He's with your mother now, but I always get what I want.
It's him I'm interested in, not Nicolás.”
Mia
got up and knocked the coffee cup back, spilling the contents on the
desk and on Alina.
“Do
you think you have the right to seduce all men?” she demanded.
“What
is up with you?”
“You
use them. First you seduce them then you treat them badly, above all
boys like Nico and Sammy.”
“What
does this have to do with Sammy?”
“Sammy
is my friend. He told me everything you've done.”
“So
he asked you to come here and he's behind this. Listen to me well,
little girl. Sammy is a disaster. He's dangerous to you and to me.”
Mia
picked up her purse and left immediately. Alina looked down at the
overturned coffee cup.
Raquel
and Santiago took a hotel room to make up for recent lost time.
Despite the mundane appearance of the room their lovemaking could
have been a scene from a great Hollywood film. They said very little
and at least neither of their cell phones rang.
Andres
insisted upon entering Damián's room despite that the regular nurse
tried to prevent him. He closed the sliding door and watched her
walk away before approaching Damián's bed.
“You
know what? You're guilty of the whole thing. For lust. For getting
involved with a woman who wasn't worth the trouble. Are you going to
stay here now and leave me with the pile of shit you left? With
Vicente and the business problems? Covering up your infidelities?
You were never in charge of the business. You left that for
Carolina. You left that for a slut!”
At
that Damián opened his eyes and stared at his cousin, then grabbed
his hand.
“You
understood everything, didn't you?” he asked as he backed up toward
the door. “You play the fool but you understood everything!” He
slid the door open and left, looking afraid. He didn't notice that
the policeman assigned to guard Damián had watched him when he was
in the room.
The
question is whether he had heard anything.
Sammy
went to the Alvarado house and told Nicolás “Alina is dead. Or at
least almost.”
Nicolás
grabbed him by the lapels and pulled him up off the floor.
“What
did you do?” he shouted.
“Poison
her. Fortunately Mia helped me. I'm grateful for that.”
Nicolás
looked at him in shock.
Alina's
secretary came back into her office. She started to clear the desk,
but Alina stopped her taking the coffee cup away. She knew something
was very wrong as she looked inside it.
Raquel
and Santiago got dressed to leave. Love talk and then talk of family
happened, with them planning a welcome home for Lola complete with
flowers and chocolates.
Nicolás
pounded on Alina's door until she let him in. He told her he had
been worried and when she accused him of using an excuse to see her
he told her that Sammy had told him he and Mia had poisoned her. She
realized that this was the real reason Mia had come to see her. She
then ordered Nicolás to leave.
Federico
went to see Luz who – to his good fortune – was alone in the
house. They wasted no time. However, he looked a little guilty or
sad in the morning. They were going to be late to work. In fact,
even later because they went in for another round.
Alina
was getting ready to leave for work when she saw a funeral wreath on
her door with a hand-lettered banner saying “You will always be my
great love. Sammy.” She called out his name, but he did not
answer. He was hiding somewhere in her house. She called his cell
phone but got his voicemail.
“Sammy,
I have reached the limit! If you think you know me you are very
mistaken. I will not tolerate this.” She ended the message.
Sammy
got out of her house without being seen and went to the Becker house.
Jovita told him Mia was still asleep but she would upstairs to wake
her herself in an effort to keep Sammy downstairs. Raquel entered
the room, carrying Benjamín. Sammy introduced himself as a friend
of Mia's. She came down as Sammy asked about the “little brother”
who was the child of “your husband and Santiago's wife.” Mia
asked him why he came and he said he had to talk to her.
“In
my room?” she asked.
“I'd
rather you met down here,” Raquel said. “You just got up.”
“Sammy
is my friend. Nothing's going to happen, Mother.” She looked at
Sammy. “Let's go to my room.”
Jovita's
facial expression indicated she did not believe this as the two teens
went up the stairs. Raquel looked at them.
“Who
is that boy? Has he been here before?”
“Yes,”
Jovita said.
Mia
and Sammy went into her room. She looked down the hall before she
closed the door.
“Why
did you come here, Sammy?” she asked.
“You
are a damned traitor,” he said.
“You
stooped too low.”
“No.
You also wanted to off Alina. It's true.”
“No.
It simply came to me that this was madness. You're very sick in the
head.” She made the standard gesture for this.
“Yes.
I'm very sick. But you are a damned traitor. All women are.”
“That's
not true.”
“It
is.”
Mia
backed up toward the closed door but he caught up with her very
quickly and backed her into it.
“Alina
has to die,” he said. “Why did you let that slut live?”
Mia
looked frightened as he repeatedly pounded his fist on at door at her
side.
Chapter
87: A Visit From the Reaper
Santiago
came home to find his children on the couch watching television.
Lola handed him the phone and told him that Raquel had called and
left a message. He had come back from bringing Florencia home.
Nicolás told him that Carolina was at work.
Damián
went back to the office to confront Andres after what he had told
Raquel. He ordered Andres for the nth time to stop interfering in
his life. From Andres' reaction when Damián backed him up against
the wall with his hands at his throat it was obvious that he was
killing two birds with one stone: Making Damián look bad in
Raquel's eyes and provoking him. He made another disparaging remark
which almost caused Damián to choke him. A security guard came in
to see if anything was wrong. Both told him they were just talking
and all was well. They waited until the guard left, then Andres
blamed Damián for everything. He then told Damián that Carolina
was dangerous and he should realize that. He walked out and Damián
struck the desk in frustration.
Carolina
told Raquel that Andres was a liar. Not only was she not involved
with him it was worse, that Andres had once tried to rape Lola.
Raquel had never heard about this, which surprised Carolina because
Damián knew about it. This was why she didn't want Lola working
there. Further, that Andres was obsessed with her (Raquel) and that
he was a sick bastard. Carolina's cell began ringing before Raquel
could respond. It was Santiago, but Carolina did not answer. She
told Raquel to stop interfering in her life and walked out. Raquel's
cell rang and it was Santiago, who was looking for Carolina. Raquel
told him she had just left. She ended the call and Santiago went
over to the banquet hall. Raquel was upset and annoyed because now
things were worse than ever between her and Carolina and her and
Damián.
Things
were about to get worse between Carolina and Damián as he asked her
whether Andres had told the truth. She swore it was a lie and was
not happy that Damián seemed willing to believe it. She started to
leave, but he caught up with her and grabbed her arm. She did not
like what this all implied. “I am not your property, Damián. I
am not men's property, not like the antiquated notions they have.”
“You're
right.”
“I
am in love with you and yes, I have deceived Santiago. You have also
deceived Raquel. I can't go on feeling like this. We are the same.”
Santiago
and Bebo brought Lola home from the hospital. There was a giant
white plush animal waiting for her. She hugged it and smiled. She
told them that she planned to go back to work, to study, and to make
her life happy. She hugged her father.
A
court official came to Juan's house with a summons. He had not
answered the first one the day before. His mother told the man that
Juan was not at home, that he had gone out to the hospital to see a
doctor. The man handed the document to Juan's mother telling her that
if he failed to show up in court the day after next the police would
come to arrest him. He then left. Juan's mother closed the door and
called her son on the phone. She left him a message to come home
right away. She was clearly worried.
Santiago
went to see Antonio at the police station but Antonio didn't tell him
about his conversation with Vicente. Both were sure that Vicente was
involved in or knew something about Carolina's death. Furthermore,
Rueda was involved in this as well. Both men were certain that Rueda
was there to make sure that Vicente didn't talk and that Vicente knew
more than he was saying. Both knew that Vicente had been
blackmailing Damián. What both wanted to know was the state of
theings between Vicente and Andres.
Rueda
told Vicente he needed to be calm. Vicente looked like a caged
animal that wanted to strike at first opportunity. He told Ruedas
that he had no intention of going to prison alone. He would take
Andres down with him. He told Ruedas to stop wasting time and do his
job, which [in his opinion] was to get him out of there. He
threatened to tell the judge everything if Ruedas and Andres didn't
get him out of there.
Santiago
ran into Alina as he was leaving Antonio's office. She told him she
was filing papers, routine things. She asked about Lola and he told
her she was well and thanks for asking. He also told her he wanted
to talk to her about settling his fees now that the money is coming
in from the sale of the houses. She suggested talking this over
coffee or dinner and he said he would come to her office. She
suggested they go to her place and she would prepare something to
eat. She also suggested they talk about Benjamín, since she had an
idea about the situation. As she led the way out he seemed weirded
out about this.
As
Rueda was descending the stairs in the rehabilitation facility he
passed a dark-haired, bearded man who was going up to the same floor.
He paused for a second to look at him before continuing down. The
man got onto the floor and asked directions from an orderly. The
young man started to talk but the other man forced him into an empty
room, slammed him up against the wall, and demanded his clothes and
his silence.
The
spider had led the fly into her web. Santiago took the coffee and
tried to start a conversation about the fees he owed because he
wanted to pay them. She brushed that off., then apologized, saying
she had just had a fantasy.... about going into business with him as
an investor.
Nicolás
arrived at the Becker house, telling Raquel that he wanted to see
Mia. Raquel let him in and asked whether he knew Sammy. Nicolás
said he did and identified Sammy as Rueda's son. Raquel was a little
surprised but told him that Sammy was upstairs with Mia. Nicolás
hightailed it up the stairs to Mia's room in time to prevent Sammy
from choking her to death. He pulled him off her, dragged him into
the hall and punched him enough times to bloody his mouth. Raquel
entered the bedroom where Mia was on the floor coughing. She turned
her over, repeating her name.
Vicente
was lying in his bed as the intruder entered his room in the
orderly's scrubs. He barely ade it past the two plainclothes police
in the hallway. The man filled a hypodermic needle and started to
inject the contents into the port on Vicente's IV. However, Vicente
opened his eyes and the fight began. The plainclothesmen entered the
room and wrestled the intruder down as Vicente yelled something
unintelligible.
Sammy
ran out of the house and out of the gate. He was bleeding from both
mouth and nostrils. He stepped out into the road directly in the
path of a white car coming toward him and was hit. The driver kept
on going.
Mia
was sitting up, seemingly none the worse. Raquel demanded to know
what was happening while Nicolás yelled that this should be
reported. Mia gave him a dirty look. Raquel demanded that they owed
her an explanation.
Alina
started talking about how she wanted to diversify her investments and
that she knew other people – rich people – interested in doing
and that this could benefit him. Santiago was or pretended to be
distracted with other matters on his mind for the present time. He
finally said he would think about it then changed the subject to
Benjamín. Alina said that his situation has changed because Miriam
renounced custody, Damián was incapacitated, and that Raquel had
“psychological problems”, at which point Santiago decided it was
time to go. He told her he was not interested in fighting with
Raquel or allowing her to be trashed. She told him that he had to
decide whether Benjamín was better off with the Beckers or with
himself and his children.
Rueda
went to Andres' office to tell him what happened. Andres didn't like
the idea of witness protection for Vicente and asked whether they
could arrange an accident. Rueda told him that would be very
difficult. His cell rang. The caller told him that there had been
an attempt on Vicente's life. He ended the call and told Andres.
The
EMTs covered Sammy with a sheet and put his body in the ambulance. A
witness who likely was a servant in a neighboring house told Jovita
that he had committed suicide. She said something about “strange
things happen in your boss's house” which caused Jovita to tell her
to shut up. As the ambulance drove away Jovita went back inside and
told Raquel. Both were upset.
What
the hell was Miriam doing in Damián's room? He was becoming
agitated again because he could not move his legs. The doctor told
Miriam that they would need to do another test regarding Damián's
nervous system. Because the brain controls everything else,
including legs. He left the room to arrange this while Damián
agonized over possibly being paralyzed and Miriam fussed over him.
Laura
was at the department looking to talk to someone in higher places.
This man seemed to have known that she and Fernando were parting
company. This looks strange and doesn't smell good.
Mia
admitted the murder plan to Nicolás, adding that she was unable to
carry it out. He was incredulous, asking why.
“For
you! You deceived me with Alina! Don't you get it? Why did you do
that?”
Raquel
entered and told them that Sammy had just committed suicide.
Rueda
and Andres continued their conversation. Andres insisted they needed
to know more about Vicente, such as who his enemies are. Rueda
suggested that he might have many, then his cell rang. He took the
call just outside Andres' office. Thirty seconds later he collapsed
in tears on the floor, having been told that his son was dead.
Alina
told Santiago that he needed to prove that his children would be
better guardians for Benjamín than Raquel and her children. She
pointed out that Federico and Mia were equal half-siblings to
Benjamín as Nico and Lola. He refused to attack Raquel. This may
have gone farther if Santiago's cell hadn't rung. It was Nico, who
told him what had just happened. Santiago ended the call, saying he
would be right there. When he told Alina what happened she seemed
shocked, sitting down as if in a trance. She finally said “Then
it's true; he tried to kill me.”
She
told Santiago about Nico's warning and Mia's visit to her office.
Mia had put the poison in her coffee. Santiago didn't want to
believe this. A minute later Alina took a deep breath and realized
that the solution was there due to Mia's madness.
Raquel
asked about Sammy and what had happened upstairs. Mia didn't want to
talk. She had one of her classic outbursts, accusing Raquel of
blaming her for Sammy's suicide. Raquel told Nicolás she wanted to
talk to Mia alone. Mia lashed out at him, saying it was all his
fault. She finally said that if he had not cheated on her with Alina
this would not have happened.
Nico
went downstairs to find Federico, who began asking questions. He
told him to talk to Mia. Federico went upstairs as the doorbell
rang. Jovita opened the door to Santiago, who went up to Nico to ask
what happened, repeating what Alina had told him. Nico sat on the
steps and looked like he wanted to cry.
Antonio
went to speak to Vicente, who would not talk about the attack. He
blamed Lisa for his arrest. He demanded to see his lawyer.
Federico
entered Mia's room. Raquel had not gotten her to talk. She wanted
to talk to Federico; Raquel left reluctantly. Federico closed the
door and sat near his sister. Finally she said “I don't know why I
do all this, I don't know why I did it but I know you understand me.
I need you.”
She
collapsed against him as he held her and stroked her hair.
Raquel
went down the stairs and embraced Santiago, to whom Nicolás had just
related the situation. Raquel could not understand how such things
could happen.
The
doorbell heralded Alona's arrival. When she entered she said that
the police have recorded Sammy's death as an accident but a witness
and a conductora said that he had deliberately stepped in
front of the car.
Santiago
looked at Raquel and told her “I was with Alina when Nicolás
called me.”
Alina
said “I am here because your daughter and Sammy tried to kill me.”
Carolina
arrived home to find Lola and Benjamín on the couch. She told her
that things between her and Raquel were worse than ever. She begged
her not to tell her father.
Raquel
got home and did not want to talk about this. Damián insisted upon
knowing and she finally told him what Carolina had told her about
Andres' attempt at raping Lola. She said that Andres was a
psychopath and she felt like a perfect idiot because she not only
didn't see it but her own husband had never told her about this.
That was the measure of his respect for her. She didn't understand
this. How many secrets did he have? “How is it possible that you
keep that pig in the company? How does that look to your children?
And do you have secrets with Carolina? This was very serious! You
didn't tell me and is this about you? Did you not tell Santiago, who
is your friend? Don't you care about him or respect him? I'm sorry,
but this isn't about machines, it was about his daughter or don't you
know that?” She looked at Damián, who stood there woodenly, with
an almost blank stare. “Are you going to share the other hidden
stuff with me or not? Becauses I suppose there is more, isn't
there?” He did not move. “Don't look at me like that! Talk!
Do you want to tell me this or are you going to tell me nothing?”
He
did not react, so she turned to go upstairs.
“Raquel,
don't go.”
“Well,
then?” No reaction, so she started away again.
“Raquel,
let me explain.”
This
time she didn't wait. He repeated himself but she would not come
back. Mia appeared at the top of the stairs in her robe and pyjamas.
“Your
mother and I were having an argument over an office matter.”
“I
suspect you'll be in the guest room tonight.”
Carolina
faked a headache when Santiago came home. He claimed her differences
with Raquel were his fault and volunteered to make her some tea. She
accepted. She appeared relieved when he left the room.
The
following day Lola meet with Florencia to confront her. She saw how
Florencia looked at her father. Florencia denied any wrongdoing,
saying she is no homewrecker. This encounter ended with Florencia
saying that there was something strange about the relationship
between Lola's parents and Damián.
Damián
confronted Andres about his interference between him and Raquel.
Andres was not taking this. Damián told him he was not
indispensible. He accused Damián of doing nothing for the last year
and he had run the company and gotten a lot of investors. Finally
Andres said that if Damián dared to terminate him the dirty money
would come to light and they would both go to prison.
Azucena
called Carolina at Damián's request. Carolina refused to talk to
Damián and said that she had had enough. She had decided to tell
Santiago. Azucena could not change her mind. She also did not know
that Federico was behind her and hearing her half of the
conversation. She went into Damián's office and saw that he and
Andres were arguing again. Andres left with an ominous word.
Azucena told Damián what had happened in her conversation. Federico
was just outside but neither noticed him.
Carolina
drove to the building site and saw Santiago climbing something with a
heavy bucket hoisted over his shoulder. She called out his name and
he fell.
