A Dinner to Remember

Celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary at a luxury Madrid restaurant, I excused myself to the bathroom. When I returned, I saw Miguel discreetly pour something into my glass. Shock froze me—poison? A sleeping pill?

A Desperate Plan

Lucía, his sister who had long despised me, sat nearby. I quickly swapped our drinks, intending to avoid becoming his target. My heart pounded as conversation flowed, and we toasted to our anniversary. Half an hour later, Lucía collapsed, revealing the terrifying truth: Miguel had tried to poison me.

The Hidden Truth

The hospital confirmed intentional poisoning. Panic and fear consumed me until a call from my father-in-law warned me to stay safe. Seeking refuge with an old friend, I pieced together clues, discovering a heartbreaking motive: Miguel was dying of a brain tumor. Desperate, he had conspired with his sister to secure my daughter’s inheritance.

Healing and Forgiveness

Though his actions were unforgivable, understanding brought perspective. I safeguarded my daughter, embraced life, and chose forgiveness. In the end, survival, love, and hope triumphed over betrayal, and I finally felt free.
