Chapter 2

Mi dulce adolescente pasa horas contándome los mejores chismes de la familia de mi amor platónico, hasta que comienza con sus desvaríos y suelta una locura.

— Termina la universidad, pídele a tu amigo un empleo y la pagas con eso.

— ¿A quién? ¿de qué? — mi adolescente habla con demasiado rapidez como para que le siga la charla.

— A tu amigo, puedes terminar tu carrera a distancia y pedirle empleo a Mateo Zabet, su empresa principal no queda muy lejos, solo un par de horas en automóvil, yo podría ayudarte con los niños…

— Delfina, él no podrá darme empleo, nunca me gradué ¿lo recuerdas? No creo que en su empresa requieran a alguien como yo, una inútil…

— Mamá, le corriges los planos a Mariano.

— No llames por su nombre a tu padre. — Delfi deja salir un bufido, ella a diferencia de mis demás niños si ha visto a su padre golpearme.

— Lo que sea, tú eres lista, inteligente, tu…

Las palabras de mi hija me llenan de un valor que jamás creí tener, me recuerda que tan lista y útil puedo ser, y es cuando me atrevo a desear algo para mí.

Me esfuerzo por hacer una cena digna de dioses, les pido a mis pequeños que se comporten como cuando sus abuelos vienen de visita y a Dios le encomiendo mis plegarias, mientras sirvo la cena bajo la atenta mirada de Mariano.

— Mariano, hoy estuve pensando… — las carcajadas de mi esposo provocan que aferré los cubiertos con mayor fuerza.

— Eso es nuevo ¿verdad Emilia? Tu madre puede pensar. — mi niña quita sus ojos de su cena y lo ve empática.

— Mamá es más lista que la tonta que tienes de secretaria. — suelta de la nada Delfina y comienzo a sudar.

— Mira jovencita…

— Cariño. —llamo su atención y me alivio de obtenerla, aunque creo que mi plan se fue por un caño.

— Mejor dime que mierda quieres Elizabeth, me toca las bolas que des tanto rodeo para decir mierda. — los ojos de mis hijos sobre mí me hacen hiperventilar, muerdo mis labios para retener las lágrimas y mostrar una estúpida sonrisa.

— Te quería preguntar si podría inscribirme en la universidad, para terminar… — el golpe que da en la mesa me hace pegar un brinco, mientras Delfina se pone de pie y sale del comedor.

— No, sabes que el dinero que tenemos es para la universidad de Delfina, pero como veo que te sobra el tiempo como para querer desperdiciarlo en estudiar a tu edad, sabiendo muy bien que eso ya es inútil, y que mi hija se cree muy adulta para intervenir en nuestros asuntos… será mejor que busques empleo y que Delfina se encargue de sus hermanos cuando salgan del colegio. — el silencio se esparce por un largo tiempo, es como si mi estúpido cerebro no quisiera comprender lo que acaba de decir.

— Cariño… Delfina no tiene por qué cuidar a sus hermanos, son nuestra responsabilidad, no la de ella, y ¿Qué tipo de empleo puedo aspirar cuando solo fui un año a la universidad…?

— Primero que los niños son tu responsabilidad, no la mía y lo sabes, segundo si te digo que ella se ocupe lo debe hacer, a no ser que quiera que la coloque en su lugar como lo hago contigo. — Tiara deja caer un vaso de agua y por un segundo creo que ella sabe de los golpes.

— Lo siento, manos de manteca es mi segundo nombre. — bromea como siempre lo que hace que me quede tranquila, no necesito que mis hijos sepan cosas que no se pueden cambiar.

— Es verdad, tú eres mi princesa manos de manteca. — mi hija sonríe cómplice a su padre, dejándome en claro que él es un buen padre, no como yo. — Y en cuanto a lo otro, Elizabeth, trabaja trapeando baños, quizás así Delfina comprenda lo que le espera si no levanta sus notas, ser una inútil como tú, que solo puede aspirar a un empleo de limpieza.

The morning air carried a hint of salt from the Atlantic as I arrived at the Hamilton Estate just after dawn. My heels clicked softly against the cobblestone path leading to the grand venue I'd spent months perfecting. Eight years with Ryan had led to this moment—our wedding, only three weeks away. I ran my fingers along the intricate wrought-iron gate as I entered, savoring the cool metal against my skin. The estate was silent except for the occasional call of seagulls and the gentle rustling of leaves. This peaceful solitude was exactly what I needed for my final walkthrough. "Ms. Mitchell?" The estate manager appeared from the main building, clipboard in hand. "You're quite early." "I wanted to see everything in the morning light," I explained, not mentioning that I'd barely slept, too excited about finalizing our wedding plans. "I'll just be checking a few details." He nodded and retreated, leaving me alone with my creation.

I stood at the edge of the Manhattan charity auction ballroom, a glass of untouched champagne in my hand. The crystal chandeliers cast a warm glow over the sea of designer gowns and custom tuxedos, but their light couldn't penetrate the chill that had settled in my chest hours ago. My gray sheath dress—tailored, elegant, but deliberately understated—felt suddenly like armor against the glittering crowd. Across the room, Gabriel's laugh cut through the ambient chatter. My husband of six years hadn't bothered to arrive with me, choosing instead to meet Isabella at the entrance. Even now, he leaned close to her, whispering something that made her tilt her head back in delight, her diamond earrings catching the light. The intimacy of the gesture was unmistakable—and intentional. "Mrs. Sterling." A silver-haired woman from the hospital board nodded as she passed. "Lovely event." "Indeed," I replied, my practiced smile sliding into place.
