Chapter 6 - The Truth About My MotherEsteban told everything.

He had loved Lucía's mother.
Then fear had taken over.
Fernando had blackmailed him.
Money had been stolen.
Threats had followed.
And Rafael had protected them.
Lucía finally understood why her mother had trusted Rafael.
He wasn't her biological father.
But he had been her real father in every way that mattered.
Esteban admitted that he had spent years trying to recover his fortune.
He had forgotten the daughter he had lost.
Lucía refused to forgive him immediately.
But she listened.
Sometimes healing began with hearing the truth.
The investigation continued.
Fernando was charged with kidnapping, fraud, extortion, and multiple financial crimes.
Adrián testified.
His family's reputation collapsed.
But he remained.
He apologized publicly.
Not to save his reputation.
But because he finally understood the damage he had caused.
Lucía didn't take him back.
They were family now.
Not lovers.
