Chapter 9: The Secret Esteban Discovered

Chapter 9: The Secret Esteban Discovered
Three months after Veronicaās arrest, the Montenegro mansion was no longer the same.
The cold atmosphere had disappeared.
The employees no longer walked with fear in their eyes.
And for the first time in yearsā¦
Rosa entered the house without feeling invisible.
She had earned her position.
Not because of money.
Not because of power.
Because of trust.
But one question still remained in Estebanās mind.
Why had Rosa protected his family for so many years without ever asking for anything?
One evening, while reviewing old documents from the mansion, Esteban found something unexpected.
A medical report.
A report from eight years earlier.
The name on the document shocked him.
Rosa.
He immediately searched for her.
āRosa, why did you never tell me about this?ā
She looked confused.
āTell you what, Mr. Montenegro?ā
Esteban placed the document on the table.
āYou saved my wifeās life.ā
Rosa froze.
She remembered that night.
Years ago, when everyone had abandoned Estebanās wife during a medical emergency, Rosa was the only person who stayed.
She called the ambulance.
She waited at the hospital.
She donated blood when there was a shortage.
But she never told anyone.
āI didnāt do it to receive a reward,ā Rosa whispered.
Esteban looked at her with respect.
āThat is exactly why you deserved one.ā
But before their conversation could continueā¦
Someone entered the mansion.
Someone who had been watching from the shadows.
May you like
Veronica.
And she was not alone.
