You drop to your knees in the mud so hard it barely even registers as pain.

THE MAFIA BOSS’S SON SCREAMED IN PAIN… THEN THE NURSE CUT OPEN HIS PILLOW AND FOUND WHAT SOMEONE HAD HIDDEN INSIDE PART 1 The scream of a child shattered the silence of the Salvatierra estate at exactly 2:14 in the morning. It was not a normal cry. It was not a nightmare. It was the kind of scream that cuts through your skin and makes your heart stop before your body even knows to move. Valeria Montes woke up instantly from the small couch beside the bed. For three weeks, she had barely slept. A few minutes here. An hour there. Always with one eye open. Always with the feeling that something dark was breathing inside that enormous mansion on the outskirts of San Pedro Garza García. “Mateo!” she shouted, rushing to the bed. The seven-year-old boy was twisting in the white sheets, his tiny hands clawing desperately at the back of his neck. His eyes were open… But he did not seem to see her. Pain had pulled him somewhere else. “It bites me, Vale,” he sobbed. “It’s biting me again…” Valeria held his shoulders firmly, trying to keep him from hurting himself. “I’m here, sweetheart,” she whispered. “Breathe with me. Nobody is going to touch you.” Then she saw the blood. A red stain was slowly spreading across the expensive orthopedic pillow that Dr. Uriel Ledesma had ordered especially for the boy. Valeria’s stomach turned cold. Carefully, she lifted Mateo’s head and moved his dark hair aside. There, at the base of his neck, were three tiny bleeding marks. Small. Deep. Precise. They were not a rash. They were not allergies. And they were not the imagination of a sick child. They were punctures. Valeria looked at the pillow. For days, she had suspected the medicine. The water. The food. The people walking in and out of Mateo’s room. But she had never imagined the monster was right there… Under his head. Waiting for him every night in silence. She pressed her palm against the pillow. At first, she felt nothing. Then she pushed harder, copying the weight of Mateo’s head sinking into the foam for hours. A sharp sting shot through her thumb. Valeria pulled her hand back with a gasp. A drop of blood appeared on her skin. In that instant, everything became clear. Mateo was not dying from some mysterious illness. Someone was trying to kill him. Valeria ran to her medical bag, grabbed trauma scissors, and sliced the pillow cover open with shaking hands. The fabric split apart. Then she tore through the thick foam, layer by layer, until something metallic caught the yellow light from the bedside lamp. Hidden inside was a plastic grid. Perfectly placed. And mounted into that grid were dozens of rusted needles pointing upward. Their tips were covered in a dark, sticky substance with a bitter smell. Valeria nearly gagged. “Oh my God…” Then she remembered what Mateo had whispered days earlier with terror in his eyes. “The sandman bites me when I sleep.” She had checked his skin. She had argued with the doctor. She had endured the cold little smiles from Renata, the young wife of Alejandro Salvatierra. “He’s spoiled,” Renata had said. “He only wants his father’s attention.” But Mateo had not been lying. That little boy had been telling the truth from the beginning. And now Valeria was standing in the bedroom of a powerful man’s son… Holding proof that someone inside that house wanted the child dead. She looked at Mateo, trembling in the bed. Then she looked at the destroyed pillow. And she understood something terrifying. Whoever had done this knew the cameras. Knew the schedule. Knew the doctors. And knew exactly when Mateo would be alone. Valeria reached for her phone with bloody fingers. But before she could call Alejandro Salvatierra… She heard footsteps outside the door. Slow. Careful. Coming closer. Part 2 is in the comments… and when Valeria opened that door, she realized the person behind the needles was much closer than anyone imagined
