Revenge And Love Against My Mafia Ex-Husband
Chapter 63

-Look Angelo, I remembered why I was fighting, I don't want you to fill me with bodyguards who don't even let me breathe. I need my space, this situation disgusts me, it makes me tired, it's not the peace of mind that the doctor said I needed or it's better if we go far away, I'm planning to leave my sister in charge of the company.

-Please my love, I only want to protect you, I won't forgive myself if something happens to you or to our baby, I swear I felt a lot of anger against me and those escorts for what happened the other day. By the way, they haven't found the whereabouts of that thief, some cameras recorded him, but it's as if the earth had eaten him.

-Maybe he's with his family, he must be living in one of the hills, in a house made of wood and tin cans, what he stole from me must be enough to feed them for a few months, hopefully it will help him get out of poverty and stop stealing.

-That's where you're wrong, that comment of high social discrimination, poverty has nothing to do with stealing. I have had very honest employees who lived in the poverty belts of the capital, one of them lived in a hut that he made with sticks and the kind of cloth used in road construction. One day he got sick and we went to look for him. We had to climb for about an hour on a muddy road, the car skidded several times, we even almost went into a ravine, then we had to climb up a small path for about ten metres, but it was worth it. Inside that shack, the whole family was sick, they had smallpox, they were burning with fever, we took them to a hospital, they were dehydrated, the doctors informed us that if we had taken a few more minutes to take them they would have all died. There were about ten children, that moved me, apart from paying all the medical expenses, I bought her a house in a better place. Nowadays he no longer works with us because he set up a business in that house and he has done very well. -He was an entrepreneur.

-What I mean Ximena is that being poor is not a reason to be a thief or a delinquent, that's up to each person to decide.

-It's that sometimes they lack opportunities or nobody gives them work.

-What happens is that many of these young people go to ask for work, all badly dressed, with absurd haircuts, full of earrings and tattoos, apart from everything saying rude things or saying that you have to give them money just because you have it and they don't, when they didn't give it to me. You know that I have to get up early every day and sometimes I work until late at night, I have even had to spend weeks without sleep on several occasions, it has not been easy.

-Yes, you're right, what happens is that sometimes I confuse poverty with humility and wealth with meanness, now I know that poverty also means laziness and delinquency.

-Yes love, that's why I hope they catch him, that punk must be in a brothel drunk and drugged, spending what he stole from you with his hands full, that's what those ampones do.

-Whatever you say, what I do want is for you to keep those bodyguards away from me, I can't stand them being all over me. They're like an iron curtain, as if I were a tent, I don't want it, I prefer to go out alone to the necessary things.

-It's ok love, I'll take most of the bodyguards away from you. I'll get women to pretend to be your friends.

What a lie, Angelo didn't dismantle the security team, he reinforced it, he hired some women who followed her pretending they didn't know her and the other men watched her from afar. He even managed to get them into the university, he paid some undercover agents whose job it was to protect her in the classrooms without her suspecting, and it worked, not even Mia, who was flirting with one of those undercover bodyguards:

-Ximena, that new guy is beautiful, I'm sure one of us likes him, I know he doesn't see her, she looks so strong, her youthful dress that contrasts with her advanced age gives her a special charm.

No Mia, you fall in love with a stick with a pee-pee, you give yourself a claw, you should go to a psychologist.

-Ximena beautiful, that depends on the stick, it's just that I haven't had a boyfriend for a long time.

-But I saw you with the milk delivery boy last Saturday.

-It's just that the milk ran out, that's why I had to throw him out.

-You're not going to die if you don't have a man next to you or on top of you or underneath you or behind you.

-Oh, that's so good from behind.

-Mia, you're lost.

-Not lost, I'll replace my Angelo, that's why I joined the boxing club, maybe I'll get a guy like your husband.

-I didn't remember that, I have to go to the dance club, I didn't know what else to join, it's not going to be easy with this belly that's already getting in the way.

-Well, that will help him to become an excellent dancer, not like his father.

-Of course that's why I did it, ha, ha, ha, ha, bye, I'm going to the dance hall.

It was a spacious room surrounded by mirrors and bars on the walls, the teacher looked like he was walking and dancing, he bounced feathers as he moved, he introduced himself and indicated the first class: -good morning, today we will start with a couples dance, we will practice Bachata, please choose partners.

Ximena felt overwhelmed, she thought that because she was pregnant no one would choose her as a partner, she would have to wait until the last minute and choose the one who was free, probably another girl. So she was doubly surprised to see that a boy ran to choose her, grabbed her hands, greeting her, it was her partner Eric who smiled when he saw her triumph and said to her, "Don't worry, I'll be very careful:

-I'll be very careful not to hurt you.

-Thank you, although I'm not handicapped either, don't exaggerate.

-No Ximena, what happens is that I'm very fond of pregnant women and not to mention babies, I'm a sucker for babies, it's a pity that none of my girlfriends have been pregnant, I must be sterile because I've tried many times.

-Getting pregnant is a magical thing, if you don't want to get pregnant and if you don't want to, you get pregnant when you don't want to. It's a blessing that often comes when you least expect it, don't worry and enjoy your youth, children will come in their own time.

-Hopefully, heaven will listen to you, if I haven't thought of adopting one of those Cambodian children like Hollywood actors do.

-As a psychology student, I must tell you that you are obsessed, you must control yourself.

-Could a therapy like dancing help me?

-Of course, why do you dance badly, I can't imagine that there is a being on earth who dances worse than my husband.

-Another thing I have in common with him is that I can't dance bachata.

-Look, it's easy, it's two steps on one side and you break your hip, two on the other, I give it to you and you break it too, it's simple, salsa or tango are complicated.

-It would be great if we could go to a disco in the afternoon to practice what we learned.

-I can't, I have things to do.

-In that case, let me take you home, you might get dizzy or something.

-No, sir, thank you very much Erik, but my husband is very jealous, no sir, I'll go by myself, I know how to defend myself.

The class ended and they said goodbye, the poor obsessive boy had the brilliant idea of following her to replace out where she lived, to replace out if she really had a husband or if it was a pretext to play hard to get.

-This is alpha, to report that a subject is following the boss. -reported one of the undercover escorts.

-Yes, sir, the guy has been following her since school, he's gone too far," José Luis was in charge of Ximena's security.

-How do we proceed, team leader, I'm waiting for instructions. -The bodyguards were preparing weapons and ropes. -Intercept the target, check if he is suspicious.

-Done boss, do we take him out?

-Try not to, it could be a misunderstanding or a simple stalker, I've seen that guy in the university, it would be better if they just give him a souvenir so he stops harassing the boss's wife. -Yes sir, ok.

The bodyguards closed the way to the car and with their machine guns in their hands they pulled him out.

-What happened mijo, what's yours, what do you do in your spare time, what film are you working on? -The bodyguards accompanied their questions with blows.

-I'm just a student, take whatever you want, take my watch, my mobile phone, but don't do anything to me.

-So bovine, we are not thieves. -They kept hitting him, even when he threw himself to the ground, they kept kicking him. -They are kidnappers, it can't be that scary, for sure my parents won't pay and if they do, it's so they won't give me back. -We've already checked his papers and the car, there's nothing threatening about him, apparently he's just a stalker.

-What a mess, this dense guy got himself beaten up for snooping, what a failure.

Ximena was on her way home when she remembered that she had left her bag with her pills at the university, she thought about sending one of the guys, although she left it in the locker, it would be difficult for them to open it, so she decided to go back. It was strange to see a crowd standing by the side of the road, he didn't get excited until he saw the parked car, one he had seen at the university, he parked and got out to gossip. When she saw him she screamed, she recognised him by the clothes he was wearing, his face was swollen, bruised and bloody.

-Quickly call an ambulance, no, someone better help me get him into my car, this is a friend of mine, his name is Erik, please someone help me," she shouted to the spectators and only one answered her:

-Miss, the ambulance is coming, you can't take him away, please calm down.

-I can't control myself, can't you see he's dying, damn it, I don't know why everyone insists that I calm down," Ximena lost control.

The ambulance arrived and almost took her away, even the paramedic mentioned, "it's too late for the young man:

It's too late for the young man, the priority is the pregnant woman.

-No, I'm fine, please take him away, I'll pay you a lot of money. -Ximena told them.

-No, ma'am, we don't take bribes, our job is simply to save lives, and you are two in one, that's why you have priority; however, we see that you are fine. We'd better take that young man with us, although he looks very bad for sure, he won't last the trip. -The paramedic did not know how to be prudent.

They transported him to intensive care, Ximena went with him, took Erik's mobile phone, fortunately he didn't have a security lock, called his mother, father, brothers and sisters and they were worried, although none of them bothered to visit him. He checked the contents to see if he could replace anything that could help him and in the gallery he found photos of himself. She also found a video that she had secretly recorded, where she could see how he was closed in by several vans, from which some armed men got out, she recognised three of them, they were men who worked for her husband. She deleted it immediately, but not before sending it to herself.
