When Darcy was taken to jail, the rumor quickly spread that she was there for killing a pregnant woman.And it is that, within the prison there are certain codes. There are women who are untouchable, bothinside and outside. Pregnant women were protected tooth and nail, because within that brotherhood theyrepresented hope. For this reason, on the woman’s second night in the prison, five women approachedher cell, took out her partner and beat her up, leaving her face deformed by the beatings, a broken noseand several cuts on her face. Eyebrows. Also, she got a haircut from her that left her looking more like ascarecrow than a woman. During the days that she remained there, she was subjected to varioushumiliations. Insults, “casual” beatings, stealing her food, taking cold baths. Therefore, when shereceived a visit from her lawyer, she demanded that Judge Rochester be the one to hear her case.Rochester had been her ally in several of the cases she’d won from her, because he was just as shadyas she was. When he refused to put his hands in, Darcy didn’t give a damn about sending the messageto her lawyer. “Tell her to get me out or tomorrow I’ll give a press conference counting all her help.” Thatcaused her strings to be pulled, some evidence declared inadmissible, and her bail set at a paltry$1,500. On his release, Darcy emptied her accounts before someone else took over her case and frozeher money in the bank. She could have left, crossed the border with Mexico and disappeared from theface of the earth, with the money she had from her inheritance, she could live peacefully in any city inLatin America. But the hatred she felt was greater. That same day that she was released, she found outthat the unfortunate woman was going to marry her cousin. So she did not hesitate to make a plan todisappear her and then she would leave. But she didn’t get it, because they left the country. However,they left on their own and it was only a matter of time before they got the brat out of the house. But herfinal blow was seeing her aunt taking care of the brat, happy with her life, entering the cinema hand inhand and with her smiling face. The same plan that she had for Luz, she would carry out with the girl.Because in the end it was that bitch’s weakness. Everything else was a piece of cake. “-I’m not going toend up like that idiot Bowman, who got caught because of her stupid son. I’ll kill her and I’m out.” That isthe image that Luz sees when she opens the door, that of a beaten, deranged woman, with spiked hair

and those dark roots that tell her that she was never blonde. -Little fox, here you are… she comes in. –My girl first. -You are not in a position to demand. -Matías is waiting for her, so it is better that you let herout of it before I enter. -I can kill all three of them-she says pointing at Luz’s belly- -If that happens, youwon’t get out alive either… please-for a moment Luz remembers what Matías told her and realizes thathe did the opposite in the first one-Seconds later, Charlize appears in front of her. He leans down fromher to hug her and whispers about her before starting to cry. -Run to the car, there is Matías waiting foryou, I love you. -But mom… -Runs! The girl does what Luz tells her, she sees Matías with an openblanket next to the car and she runs with more force towards him. -Mati! “Princess of her,” she tells him,covering her with the blanket and hugging her while she puts her in the car. Wait for me, and I’ll go upwith you. But my mom… Matías surrounds the car and sits in front of the wheel leaving there towards afew streets further on. In front there is a car that Charlize recognizes and asks Matías. – Is it my daddy? -Yes, princess. You will stay with him and I will go for my sister. -Be careful, my aunt is very angry and shehas many weapons, even a bomb – Matías stops and turns to look at Charlize – She told me that shewould tie my mom up… and that she would make her fly, Mati, you can’t stop let him do anything. -Ofcourse not, princess, let’s go with your father. She gets out of the car and takes the little girl in her arms,a moment that she takes advantage of to rest her head on his shoulder and tell him. -I will never forgetthis, Matías. You are my hero since I met you and you always will be. Arriving with Gerard, he hands thegirl over to her and tries to run to the car, but is joined by both him and Dan. -What are you doing? Youmust stay with your daughter. -She’ll be fine and she won’t be upset with me because I’m going to lookfor her mother and her brother. -Are you crazy… -She’s my wife, she wouldn’t forgive me if the crazywoman hurt her, besides, we need a distraction for the agents to act and I’ll be the best. -And you? her,”she tells Dan. -I’m just going to cover my friend’s back. “A nuisance, that’s what you are,” Matías tellshim with annoyance as he gets into the car and gets into the car. another street to get to the shed whereLuz is now Darcy’s prisoner -. The truth is that those words do not only apply to this situation, Matías saidthem with double intentions and Dan understood them perfectly. Meeting up with the rest of theoperative, the detective gets annoyed with Gerard, who throws up his hands and tells him. I’m hisdistraction. -Who told you we need one? -I think it’s the best, detective – Matías tells him, taking out his

gun and checking the charger -. Charlize told me that the woman has guns and a bomb, her plan is toblow up the place, with my sister and nephew inside it. -All the more reason, destabilizing a woman likeher can jeopardize the entire operation. “Actually, Gerard can buy us time, can’t he, brother-in-law?” –silence – Brother-in-law? Curse! Gerard and Dan were lost in the middle of the dark night, looking for away to get Luz out, because a rational lawyer far outweighs a panicked man in love. The man stands inthe doorway where Darcy pulled Luz in a few minutes ago and calls out in an angry voice. “Darcy, I’mcoming for you!” Let’s get out of here now… my love!
