-Love, please open your eyes, I promise we will get married, he is safe, please wake up, I don't want my son to grow up without a father. -Ximena was crying for her beloved, who had been in a coma for four days. -Love, I hope that your word is true and that they are not promises to a dying man. -Angelo opened his eyes.

-Of course, of course, we'll get married, we'll get married, I've finished my studies, I'm almost ready to graduate, you know that.

-Ready, my love, that's how we'll do it. Ximena, please come with me to my house, let's live together again.

-Yes, my baby of one, I agree.

They spent the next few months at home under the care of his doctors until Angelo recovered completely, he had to go back to business, to make up for the empty demand of Max's poster, it was an exhausting few days, until he talked to his grandfather: -I no longer want to continue with the illegal business, grandfather, please understand me.

-It's that the illegal businesses are the ones that leave the most money, consider that this is what gave us the status we enjoy.

-Yes grandfather, but it also made us lose many loved ones, as a sample of our family, only the two of us are left. I don't want to keep burying the ones I love, I want to give my son a peaceful place to live. -Angelo, you know that we will not be able to retire, our competitors will kill us or those who replace us.

-Grandfather, I am the new boss, I have already started to do it, I will clean up the companies, I will cease all illegal operations, I will leave them to others.

-That's a very stupid and hasty decision. That's what I would have told you a few years ago, now I agree with you. You know there is no amount of money that can buy you a good night's rest. Every night I wake up and if I manage to sleep, I have nightmares about everyone I killed, no matter if they deserved it, it's as if they were waiting for me on the other side to take revenge and I swear I would trade every penny of my fortune to have your parents or Ximena's alive. That damned Max was right, I took him in because my conscience weighed heavily on me. Although I should have imagined that betrayal ran through his veins, they say that the fruit doesn't fall far from the trees. Angelo, my son, don't worry, whatever you do, you have my blessing, but I demand that you make your beautiful wife happy and if you can, tell her to bring her friend Mia to keep me company during my last days.

-Grandfather, I'm leaving, the doctor sent me a message, my baby is about to be born, I'm so excited!

Angelo drove desperately to his villa where Ximena was surrounded by her entourage of doctors.

-Angelo, congratulations, they are beautiful twins. -The doctor greeted him with a handshake.

Twins? The ultrasound scans didn't show that, how strange it is. -Angelo asked, although he was very excited and ran to see them.

-We can't explain why only one foetus was detected, it must have been hiding behind the other one, it's strange. -reported the doctor. At the same time they ran to Ximena's room, where the two babies were crying.

-Look how beautiful they are, they look just like you," Ximena breastfed them to keep them quiet.

-Thank goodness they are not triplets, otherwise one of them would still be crying, they are so cute. From now on I am the luckiest man in the world. -Angelo hugged and kissed them, but he was worried about only having one room ready for a baby, it would be up to José Luis to take care of that task.

The twins demanded a lot of attention, they almost didn't even let them sleep, even so they managed to give each other affection, do chores, work things and more love, finally the day of Ximena's graduation arrived, she was dressed in her cap and gown, that way Angelo also saw her very beautiful.

-Love, you look beautiful, it makes me want to take you to the salon and give you a good lesson in love. -Angelo confessed and kissed her.

-Love, you can't, not because of the rules in the university handbook, but because of this pair of crybabies. -Ximena lifted her babies up and kissed them so they would stop crying.

-Well, congratulations on your two graduations, the one from college and the one from mom. -Angelo handed her two bouquets of roses that he had hidden in his jacket.

-Oh my love, I'm so happy, doubly happy or better triple happy with my trio of beautiful men. -Ximena kissed Angelo before receiving her diploma.

-Bravo, that's my girl. -Angelo was surprised to replace among the attendees Ximena's adoptive parents and Emily, who apparently had just arrived.

-Hello, how are you? If you had confirmed your visit, I would have sent a helicopter.

-Angelo, don't worry, we didn't want to bother you. said Ximena's mother to her son-in-law.

-My nephews are so beautiful, they look so much like their father. -Emily raised only one of them, because she couldn't handle both of them.

I congratulate you son-in-law, your babies are very cute and your wife graduated. It's amazing what they've been through. -The father hugged Angelo.

No father-in-law, it's amazing that Mia graduated. -Angelo admired her as she approached to receive her diploma.

-I can't imagine that she gave it to a teacher to pass, like others did. -Ximena arrived, kissing her husband and greeting the rest of her family.

The ceremony was a lake of emotions, they threw the caps as a symbol of the end of that cycle, everyone promised that they would meet again, some cried, others looked back and remembered all the sacrifices they had made to graduate. Now they would prepare for the party.

-Wait, I have to go to the bathroom, I won't be long. -Ximena drank a lot of water for her nerves, she felt she couldn't make it home. It was her turn to go to the university bathroom, she went running, feeling that the drops were coming out, she arrived at the toilet where she rested from the pressure in her stomach, she went out to bathe her hands and found herself face to face with her hated Vivían who pointed a gun at her and said, "You f*****g bitch, you're going to die:

-You f*****g bitch, I'll kill you for taking my man.

-Angelo told me everything that happened between you, he only used you to satisfy his needs, he used you, you were a vessel, nothing more. -Ximena watched her, how her hands trembled, she saw how she pulled the trigger, she imagined that she would leave her children alone, that her husband would have to cry again in the operating room, for the umpteenth time she would have her saviour come to her aid, for sure that would be her life. To be the diva in distress that her hero would save, the Luisa of Superman. -No, I don't want that. -Ximena moved, grabbing his gun, deflecting his body and the projection of the bullet. She kneed Vivían in the gut, knocked the gun away and hit him in the face with a headbutt.

-Fool, don't conceive that a few jiujitsu lessons will give you the edge against me, a mercenary expert in various fighting techniques. -said Vivian, wiping his face, standing at attention.

-You may be right that you know how to fight better than me, but there's one thing I can beat you at. -Ximena raised her guard.

What bitch, that you're a man-stealer? -Vivian threw a punch that was parried by something.

-No, stupid, I have friends and family, something a crazy woman like you will never have. -Ximena saw that Mia, Emily and her mother were hitting Vivian in the back, hitting her: -Bitch, a woman never goes to the bathroom alone.

Vivían fought against the four of them and certainly her military training gave her a big advantage, except when she hit Emily hard in the heart, making Ximena explode, who threw herself against her, jumping, doing the python key with her legs, suffocating her until the traitor was left there.

Angelo had to send a cleaning crew to bury her in the family cemetery, leaving a false version that she died in the fight, something that comforted her relatives who were close to Joseph's family.

A few days later they celebrated the wedding, that way it was decided, it was fair. Everything was perfect, Ximena again arrived first, which gave everyone a bad feeling. Once again she felt desperate. She calmed down a little when she saw a car arrive and a strong man in a black suit got out of it and entered smiling. Because of the light she could not make out his face, but it looked like her beloved who entered with that macho walk. When police from special groups appeared from all corners, knocking him to the floor, handcuffing him, Ximena ran desperately to try to save him.

-Wait, that's my husband, you can't take him away!

-No, ma'am, nothing will stop us from taking the famous Doctor D.

Ximena felt herself dying, the ground was cracking beneath her.

-All right, calm down, don't squeeze me, you're turning me on, you dogs. -The captured man declared and looked at Ximena's face. She recognised him, he was Angelo's new right-hand man, the one they called Cancan.

They took him away in helicopters. Ximena returned to the altar and there, like a sun, smiled her beloved Angelo, who recited to her:

-Don't worry about that man, we will release him later, worry about getting married and the honeymoon, this time we will celebrate in style, I don't know what the tour around the world is for, if we are not going to leave the hotel for sure.

The priest took a deep breath to calm himself, he knew he had to continue and speed up the service before something happened, but before he could utter a word, a fat old man came running in, followed by an old woman with a limp. He came in waving his hands and grabbing his belly, apparently he was tired, he ended up in front of Ximena, he looked her in the eyes, although her face was reddening, she was gritting her teeth, her eyebrows looked as if they were going to join her nose and her gaze was pulverising the man, he cried, speaking in a loud voice:

-Wait, stop everything, Ximena, you can't get married, I can't let you commit this injustice, I can't let you be part of the family that killed your parents.
