Unexpected Visit
The faint lights of dawn and the birds singing were the evident signs that the day she had feared so much had arrived. She got up with heaviness; she hadn't been able to sleep at all and felt lost now that Karen knew the whole truth. She never thought things would escalate to this point, but they had. With some urgency, Ava got up, not wanting this to be her reality. She tried to process it in the shower, but it was impossible. She barely touched her breakfast, and Doña Rosaura couldn't contain her distress. But for the first time, she wanted to let her daughter be, so she didn't ask anything, even though she saw her leave with a backpack instead of her expensive bag. She only gave her blessing, and they said goodbye as she disappeared into that limousine. Ava sighed the whole way; she felt watched every second, with every move. She was almost sure that Karen saw every step, even on her phone. It was evident that Karen knew how to handle technology and devices at her whim. During th
The encounter
"Do you always have to give me a scare, sir?" Mrs. Rosaura said, while putting her hand on her chest because the last person she expected to see was Daniel Busch.Without permission, Daniel took the lady's hand and kissed the back of it, an action that left her paralyzed but reacted in time to withdraw her hand, still with wide-open eyes."Mrs. Rosaura... mother-in-law, I swear it wasn't my intention, but I had to come as soon as possible" he said, while finishing catching his breath and fixing his gaze on the bewildered young woman who was right behind Mrs. Rosaura.Daniel seemed agitated, and thousands of questions crossed Ava's mind, who couldn't believe seeing him there in such a strange way. Mrs. Rosaura stepped aside because she had definitely noticed the pair of intense looks."Ava, I needed to see you... come with me, please" Daniel extended his hand to the young woman, who didn't hesitate and took it.Ava's heart raced, and she knew it wasn't out of fear or anxiety... it was
Truth, justice and love
The atmosphere seemed empty for a moment with the silence that fell over the hall of that event that was on the verge of being canceled. There was Daniel Busch, with his elegant demeanor and his beard trimmed in a style different from the French style, which definitely gave him a more youthful look. Without further delay, he took a step into the hall.Daniel moved gracefully among the tables, taking his time to greet everyone present. He exchanged greetings with great courtesy, as if he had all the time in the world. When he reached Karen's table, she tried to speak to him more closely, but her initiative failed as Daniel didn't even look her in the eyes."Karen... a pleasure," was the only thing that came out of Daniel's lips, followed by a light pat on the back of her hand."Daniel? Wait, let's talk..." she murmured with eyes filled with emotion as she saw him, stretching her hand as if, with helplessness, she tried to reach him, but it was impossible.The ladies next to Karen only
Truth, justice and love 2
Karen called Mrs. Daniela to stand by her side and also called Patrick, an undercover investigator working for the Busch family. The tall, overweight man walked to the front without looking at Daniel, then handed Karen a yellow folder and headed to the back of the hall, turning on a device that displayed images on the wall.Without erasing that triumphant smile, Karen spoke up and turned to look at Ava, who was hugging herself to calm what she was going through."I think it's time to dismantle this little play and let everyone know the truth about the kind of imposter this woman is," said Karen, while some images passed before everyone's eyes."In reality, the woman present here is not called Ava Spencer; her real name is Ava López, a poor and ambitious woman who clearly enamored and deceived Mr. Busch because she was interested in the family's money. There is no other reason!"I suspected it, and it turned out to be true!" Mrs. Daniela nodded, arms crossed, looking proud of everythin

The Fake Engagement
Ava felt overwhelmed by the responsibility she had taken on by accepting Daniel Busch's marriage proposal that same morning. After finishing work, she arrived home, greeted her family quickly, and headed to her room. Anxiety quickly set in, her heart racing.She felt her hands becoming sweaty and cold, and the weather wasn't helping with all the nervousness about her future decisions. She was about to tell her family about her fake engagement, but she didn't know where to start. What were the right words? As she prepared to leave the house, her phone rang, and she answered it immediately."Ava? How are you?" It was her father's weak voice. He was still in the hospital, recovering from cancer treatment."Don't worry about me; I'm getting better every day," she told him.Ava felt a lump in her throat, hearing her father's voice, knowing that her mother had told him how sick he was. He had always been her rock, her source of support in difficult times, but she couldn't understand why he
