I MARRIED A RICH OLD MAN FOR MONEY — BUT WHEN I FOUND OUT WHO HE REALLY WAS, I WAS SPEECHLESS. I CRIED.

“Where are they now?”

“They left a long time ago”.w

And there, her tears fell. I didn’t ask more.

After a year, everything changed.

One day, I woke up and he wasn’t home. I called the driver and he took me to the cemetery. I saw Alexander, kneeling in front of two graves.

One —with a woman’s name: Elena Cruz (1975–2012) The other —a girl’s name: Ivy Cruz (2000–2010)

I collapsed. I felt like my heart had been stabbed.

“Ivy…” he said softly, not knowing I was there. “My daughter, if only you knew how much I miss you”.

I stopped breathing.

Daughter? Ivy? We had the same name.

I approached, trembling.

“Alex…” I called him.

He was startled, turned around.

“What are you doing here?” “The name on the grave… Ivy… is she your daughter?”

He nodded.
