Papillon

To save the family business from bankruptcy, Carmen was forced to marry a paralyzed and blind man in exchange for an investment in her father's business. Her early marriage to Felix was terrible but she held on. He had not stopped telling her that he already had someone in his heart because he too had not wanted this marriage. At first, she didn't care about it, but when she started to have feelings for him, this sentence became the most poignant of her life. Following Hugo's advice, she put Felix at ease and managed to enter his world. The two of them grew closer and she helped him agree to have surgery to regain his sight and mobility in his legs. The same day he regained his sight, she was so happy for him that they just went out together to celebrate, but that same evening, everything changed after he met a woman. 
“This woman has things in common with my ex-fiancée who I have been looking for for a long time. I pray it’s her.” 
Carmen had been in pain but told herself that it didn't matter because he was certainly looking for her in order to ask her for explanations but after that night, he had become distant with her. The unpleasant man she had once known was back and she was able to measure hismonstrosity the night he slept with this woman in their apartment and on the bed she shared with him. Betrayed and hurt, she asked him for a divorce and decided to leave, hoping he could at least hold her back but he seemed quite happy.Three months later, she was passing in a street when a child insisted that she buy his newspaper that he was selling. She wasn't used to it but for a child, she made the gesture and the headline was what paralyzed her on the spot.
“After three years where everyone thought he had lost his life in a traffic accident, billionaire Elio Ramirez is back and has been living all this time under the false identity of Felix Alvarez.”

“Once again Miss Rodriguez, I am sorry for the passing of your father." 


She simply bowed her head at her father's lawyer because she didn't want to answer anymore. She had heard that phrase enough and it already had an unpleasant echo within her. She had seen all the people who were there to support her and even those she never thought she would see so it was time for her to go home. Everything had just ended and it felt like it was also time for her to forget that she was a Rodriguez because she no longer had anything to hold on to to feel like she belonged to this family. 


“I thank you for what you have done all these years for my father. He left with the hopes of several people and I imagine yours too." 


“Uh… Excuse me but honestly I wasn’t expecting that at all. What I mean is that even if Mr Rodriguez is no more, I thought I had the chance to win your heart and your trust so that you would let me continue working with you but if that is not the case, it does not matter."
