Fractured Bloodlines
The night hung heavy over the city, the sky cloaked in storm clouds as if mourning what Alejandro had just learned. The betrayal of Elena had hardened something in him, more like shattered whatever remnants of love he once held. He still felt something could blossom if she could change.And now, the return of his estranged brother Santiago had lit a fire in him that threatened to consume everything.Alejandro stood before the cracked mirror in his private chamber at Luz Holdings. His jaw was clenched, his fingers stained with blood, his own, from punching the wall after Santiago’s cruel revelation. His mother had lied to him. Elena had used him. And now Santiago had returned from the dead not as an ally, but as the new face of the enemy.There was a soft knock at the door. Carlos entered quietly, flanked by the ever-silent Mateo."You look like hell," Carlos muttered, scanning Alejandro’s knuckles.Alejandro didn’t respond immediately. His eyes remained locked on his reflection.
Shattered Alliance
The rain had slowed, but the storm had only just begun.Alejandro stood in the great hall of the estate, the echo of his last words hanging in the air like smoke after a gunshot. The silhouettes of his mother, his brother, and Elena remained etched in the shadows as he walked away, his coat drenched, boots heavy with water and resolve. Carlos fell in beside him, silent but ready. Outside, Luz Holdings' private security had secured the perimeter. No one would be escaping unless Alejandro allowed it."What now, jefe?" Carlos asked, his voice low.Alejandro didn't stop walking. "Now we burn the rest of it down. Every lie. Every name. I want files on every Velázquez associate, every off-shore account tied to Joaquín, and every transaction Natalia Rojas touched.""And Elena?""She dies in the dark. Quietly." No emotion in his voice as he spoke.Carlos nodded. "Understood." he always understood.But as they reached the armored vehicle parked near the gate, Alejandro's phone buzzed. A mes
Blood and Ashes
Rain hammered the roof of the old estate like war drums, the rhythm of nature matching the thunder in Alejandro's chest. His eyes stayed locked on the woman standing before him—his mother. Alive. The ghost that haunted his childhood wasn’t a ghost at all. Her face was older now, sharp with wisdom and time, but it held no warmth. No motherly glow. Just power. Cold and calculated. "You've grown," she said, as if they were meeting for coffee, not reuniting after decades of lies. This Bitch! Alejandro took a slow step forward, fists clenched. "You died. Or at least that's what Natalia told me. The car crash, the funeral, the tears are all of it. Lies." he asked hid chest hammering into different directions he did not know what to do. "It had to be done," she replied, voice steady, infuriatingly calm. "To protect you." Like why on earth was everyone at the very of saying they wanted to protect him, protect him from what exactly? Betrayal? be knitting or what exactly? He couldn't h
Storms
The room fell into a heavy silence, the kind that made your skin prickle and your instincts scream. Screaming for answers and words spoken for reassurance. Carlos’s words hung in the air like smoke, choking every breath that dared to rise. “They’re coming for you.” Who exactly was coming for him? Alejandro’s eyes darted from Carlos to Joaquín, whose calm facade cracked for just a moment. That moment was enough. “What the hell do you mean they know everything?” Alejandro demanded, stepping toward Carlos. Carlos shut the door behind him, his voice low and urgent. “The data leak. It wasn’t just intercepted, more like it was redirected. Someone inside Luz Holdings has been feeding them intel for months. We traced the signal, it came from inside your inner circle. But that’s not the worst part.” Alejandro’s chest tightened. “What is?” he questioned. Carlos hesitated, then pulled a thin, weathered file from inside his coat. “We had a hard time tracking the origin, but once we d
Shadows of the Past
Sitting at his desk, his thoughts spinning, each one darker than the last. The new revelation, the discovery that someone closer to him, someone who should have been on his side, was playing both sides for sure shook him, it shook him to his core. It wasn’t just the Velázquez family he had to worry about anymore. He had a traitor in his midst. The walls he’d carefully built around himself were crumbling, and every shadow in his life seemed to hide more secrets than he could have imagined. But why?He couldn’t shake the feeling that everything, his relationship with Elena, his feud with Joaquín, his plans to rise from the ashes was being orchestrated by unseen hands. The game was bigger than he thought. And now, it seemed the stakes were higher than ever. His phone buzzed again. This time, it was a message from Carlos, one of the few people he trusted. Alejandro opened it without hesitation. He has to know just what exactly was going on.“I’ve got the data. The transfer of funds fr
The unraveling
Alejandro’s mind raced as he strode away from Elena, the weight of her words still hanging heavily in the air. “You don’t know who you’re up against.” Those words echoed in his head, a constant reminder that everything wasn’t as simple as it seemed. Elena had betrayed him, and yet there was something deeper, something more dangerous lurking beneath the surface. He had been so certain of his plans, so confident in his path to revenge, but now, somehow now—now he wasn’t so sure.His footsteps echoed down the hallway, the sound steady, but inside, his mind was in turmoil. He had been so focused on dismantling the Velázquez family, on exposing Joaquín for the manipulative businessman he was, that he hadn’t stopped to think about the bigger picture. Why was there always a bigger picture he had everything figured. Elena had always been part of that picture, but the revelation of her betrayal, of how deeply she had been involved in this web of lies, had left him feeling like a fool. She
