A year after the divorce, I was called back to witness the reading of the family’s will. They laughed when I entered the room, thinking I was just a replaced past… until the will was read and everyone was shocked.

Everything stopped.

“That’s impossible!” Diego snapped. “That’s not legal!”

A voice came from the doorway.

“It is completely legal.”

Sofia stood there.

Everyone turned.

“Mr. Mendoza restructured everything months before his death,” she explained. “It’s all under a trust—with Lucía as the sole administrator.”

Doña Teresa went pale.

Camila stepped back.

Diego stared at me like he didn’t recognize me.

“Did you know about this?”

I shook my head.

“No.”

And it was the truth.

But in that moment…

I understood everything.
