-I've stopped shouting, Mr. White, you look like a child, I remind you that if you don't go and have a big mouth with Mrs. Ximena, nothing is going to happen to you. She's going to go to the mine, you'd better get dressed up and go to that place, watch your tongue or you'll end up in a hole deeper than a mine shaft, is that clear? The poor terrified man just shakes his head in the affirmative and starts to smell horrible.

-I'll leave you to it, please take a bath because you smell bad, we don't want you to make a bad impression on the boss either.

She slaps him gently and they leave without a trace, almost that Don White questioned if it was just a nightmare, but without hesitation he gets up to take a shower, where he cried so that his tears were confused with the jets of the bath column, which had gold trim and buttons with emeralds,

-What unnecessary, it is only luxury, something for people to admire me or envy me, they would surely hate me, if I had to label each thing the origin of the money or what was done to get it, it is clear that many of us would have to walk with our heads down and at this moment in which I replace myself, the twilight of my life, which gives me the wisdom to reflect, which gives me the result that I cannot see myself in the mirror without feeling nauseous, all my sins, my crimes, The only good thing I did was my three children, the eldest is abroad, he turned gay and I swore I would never call him, the second hates us because we took him by force from that street of vice consumption and we put him in a rehabilitation centre and my youngest daughter who must be in heaven, where I will never see her again, although my house seems to be made of marble, in reality I built it with lies, betrayals and of course a lot of blood.

Don White, getting ready without eating anything, kisses his wife and says to her:

-love, take care of yourself, I won't be long, I love you very much, please remember that if anything happens to me, the lawyers will take you to that geriatric home which is a luxury hotel with many doctors, it is already paid for fifty years, tell our children that I love them very much and that they forgive me for all the bad things,

She shakes herself as if she needs to shake something out of her hair and looking at the window she rambles on:

-the girl gets out of school, you have to pick her up.

-No love, the girl drowned in the swimming pool at a gangster's estate, because she was running away from one of those ampones who wanted to r**e her.

He leaves the house crying, until he closes his door, it is as if he transforms into another person, his face becomes expressionless and he is picked up by his escorts whom he never greets, he only urges them to speed up their march, he doesn't want to arrive before the wife of the fearsome Doctor D, he doesn't want more problems with drug traffickers.

He arrived at his offices in the mine, without greeting, looking only to the front, it seemed that he did not hear the greetings of the employees of the mine even left his hand outstretched to Mr. Molina who hides the beer to greet him, only a sweet voice made him go through an icy current that made his few remaining hairs stand on end:

-Good morning, Mr. White or should I say good evening.

It was Ximena who apparently complained to him for being late to the office, this annoyed him, he had never been told anything before, he could arrive at any time he wanted, he even spent weeks without coming because he stayed to take care of his wife, that's why these words came out of his reaction:

-Before, thank you for coming.

-No, thank you very much, you're so kind, it's just that all that salary you earn doesn't deserve that you come early to set a good example to the other employees," Ximena stood up furiously hitting the desk.

-What happens is that as manager I work all the time, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, I am responsible for the functionality of the mine and that is my job at all times, I always think about how to do things better, your father hired me because he knew about my qualities," he excused himself looking at her heels, he was not able to see her face, he was ashamed and afraid.

-It's a pity that the board didn't let me even though I'm already restructuring the company, and I'd like to get the jewellery back that you let me steal.

-Miss Ximena, I had nothing to do with it, it was because of that false protest.

-You are to blame, you forbade throwing the mud into the ravine where those vaqueros wash it in sacks so that occasionally they replace an emerald that escapes from our collection systems. -But that way we produce more, now we choose that soil very well and take it to make compost.

-That decision was stupid, now the village is almost deserted, that reminds me that I heard that you used to break green bottles and send them in the rubble to illusion those poor people. -The damned man laughs, causing Ximena's anger to increase with every laugh.

-Well, a*****e, what was he going to tell me, what's so important, I didn't understand any of that message, just something about a doctor.

-Yes, I have to go to the doctor, I've been feeling sick, I think I need a holiday.

-It must be that it hurts you to be lying down for so long, it's the height of cheek, I'm really going to fire him, I don't care if I have to buy out the other shareholders.

-Wait madam, you can't fire me, according to my contract if you do, you'll have to compensate me for life, come on, do it and you'll see.

-I know very well, I read your contract with my lawyer, I know I can't fire you easily, there is a way that if you resign I won't have to give you anything.

-Miss, I'm not going to resign, if you want to fire me, go ahead.

-No Mr. White, I promise you that you will resign, according to your contract I can change your functions, I will do it from this moment on, now you will be the manager of the mop and broom of the toilets. -What are you saying, Mrs. Ximena, you can't do that.

-Yes sir, from now on you will be in charge of washing toilets, if you don't like it, you know what to do.

-Of course, miss, in that case I'll be the best paid toilet cleaner.

-That's the aptitude, it's good for you to know that I can't lower your salary, but what I'm interested in knowing is what was that thing you had to tell me?

-Yes, ma'am, what happened is that I caused the accident at the mine, they paid me for it, in the same way that they paid the man in grey to break his parents' brakes, and now that person has also retained them.

-What are you saying, it can't be, my parents are on a trip, how come," Ximena called them without receiving an answer, she called the farm where they would be staying, there she was told that they had never shown up, she called the airline where they never boarded their flights either, nobody knew anything about them, she called and told Angelo, imploring his help, after a while she took it out on White, shouting at him, "You are a wretch, you bastard, you bastard, you bastard, you bastard, you bastard, you wretch, you wretch, you wretch, you wretch, you wretch, you wretch, you wretch, you wretch, you wretch, you wretch!

-I demand that you tell me who ordered you to do that, I can't tell you, you're a miserable, miserable bastard, how could you possibly attack the very thing that feeds you?

-I can't tell you, they will kill me, they are very dangerous people, although you know about that, you are married to the devil himself.

-What do you mean, you piece of shit?

-Nothing, I'd rather go to the worst prison than fall into their clutches,

-That's the way it's going to be, I've already called the police, he's coming into the offices.

-I'll be free in a few hours, rich people with influence don't go to prison, you don't have proof.

-Of course I do," Ximena took out a tape recorder from her skirt and repeated her confession.

The policemen came in, trying to drag him away, White freed himself by straightening his suit and walked out with his head held high without saying goodbye or looking at anyone, followed by the policemen.

Angelo at that moment came in and closed the way, he looked at him and White almost collapsed, he patted him and said: "Mr. White, calm down:

-Mr. White, calm down, I will introduce you to some friends in prison who will treat you like a king.

He continued to Ximena's office where he greeted him with a kiss, telling him:

-Ya baby, it's over.

-It didn't happen Angelo, my parents didn't show up and seriously, I need to know who you really are, I'm telling you for the umpteenth time," Ximena was still agitated, which could hurt the baby.

-I'm in charge of my grandfather's business, besides teaching at the university and being an occasional boxer.

I'm in charge of my grandfather's business, besides teaching at the university and being an occasional boxer, -It's just that White said I was married to the devil, I saw how he almost fainted when he saw you, tell me the truth, I've noticed other things too. -Love, it's ok, I promised you I wouldn't tell you lies, what happens is that I'm also an international mercenary, I didn't want to tell you, I plan to quit now that we're married, it's a very dangerous activity, I don't remember how I turned out in that, at the beginning I felt like a superhero, now I feel dirty.

-I don't remember how it turned out, at the beginning I felt like a superhero, now I feel dirty,

-My Ximena, I didn't lie to you, I just omitted information, I forgot to tell you that little detail.

-Of course, who knows what else I forgot, don't worry, I'll replace out someday.

-No love, I'm sure it was just that little insignificant thing, even tonight I have to go to a rescue operation for a kidnapped person.
