The Garcia family was hanging by a thread, and none of them could imagine how dark things were about to get. The night after Alejandro uncovered the truth marked the beginning of something that would completely shatter whatever was left of their peace. On the outside, he played his part well, calm, polite, pretending that everything was fine, but inside, he was boiling. His anger had settled deep in his chest, like a fire that refused to die out. Every time he looked at Elena, every time he looked at Elena, every time he had been in his

Javier's name came up, that quiet fury grew stronger. He knew he couldn't explode yet. If he confronted them too soon, they'd just deny everything. Or worse, they might destroy any trace of proof. So Alejandro decided to play smart, cold and methodical. He would wait, watch, and gather every piece of evidence he needed. If there was one thing he had learned over the years, it was that patience could be more powerful than rage. Meanwhile, Elena and Javier went on with their secret, completely unaware that every move they made was being watched. They thought they were being discreet, but Alejandro knew them too well.

He had started to notice little things, how Elena's smile seemed a little too bright when Javier was around, or how Javier always found excuses to pass by the kitchen at the exact moment Elena was there. When Alejandro decided to install cameras, it felt like crossing a line. But that line had already been crossed by them, hadn't it? He did it quietly, carefully, one camera hidden near the garden, another in the living room, two of the places where he had seen them whispering before. Every night after the house went quiet, he would sit alone in his office,

rewinding footage, watching, listening. What he found on those recordings changed everything. It wasn't a kiss. It wasn't some big dramatic confession. It was worse than that. It was the small things, the kind of gestures that only people who share a secret make. Javier's hand brushing against Elena's for just a second too long. The look in their eyes when they laughed together.

The way Elena leaned closer, her voice soft, intimate. None of it was innocent anymore. Alejandro froze the frame on one of those moments, Javier's fingers touching Elena's arm, and something inside him just, snapped. From that point on, the house felt different. Heavy. Quiet in a way that made everyone uncomfortable. Alejandro barely spoke to Elena.

When he did, his words came out clipped and cold. Elena felt the shift immediately. She tried to talk to her. him several times to figure out what was wrong, but Alejandro always found a way to dodge her questions. His silence scared her more than shouting ever could. Havier noticed two. He could feel Alejandro's eyes on him, those long, assessing stares that said more than any confrontation. Javier told himself it was paranoia, but deep down, he knew something wasn't right. The easy air of confidence he used to have started to fade. Every time he walked into the Garcia house,

it felt like stepping onto a minefield. Camila, on the other hand, was completely blind to what was really happening. She sensed that something felt off, yes, her husband seemed distant, her father strangely withdrawn, but she never imagined the truth. She told herself Alejandro was stressed about work. As for Javier, well, he'd been having a rough, time lately, hadn't he? That's what she thought, and she wanted to believe it. Elena, though, was starting to crumble under the weight of her own guilt. Every time she looked at Camilla, she felt sick. The excitement that had once filled her when she saw Javier now twisted into something darker, fear, shame, confusion. She knew this couldn't go on. So one night, she told

Javier they needed to end it. Her voice trembled as she said it, but she meant it. We can't keep doing this, she told him. It's wrong. It's destroying everything. Javier stared at her for a long time before answering. He didn't argue. Not really. But he asked for one last meeting, a goodbye, he called it. One last moment to close the chapter properly. And Elena, against her better judgment, agreed. That decision sealed their fate. It was past midnight when it happened. The house was quiet.

Everyone was asleep, or so they thought. Elena slipped out into the garden, her heart pounding in her chest. Javier was already there, waiting by the old fig tree. The air was cool, thick with the kind of silence that only comes before a storm. They didn't say much at first. Just stood there, looking at each other. Everything that needed to be said was written all over their faces. Elena's eyes were red from crying, Javier's jaw was tight with frustration and regret.

He reached out, pulled her closer, and she let him. What they didn't know was that Alejandro was watching. He had been keeping track of their movements all evening, and when he saw Elena head toward the garden, he followed, moving silently through the hallway. He wasn't just guessing this time, he had the footage, the evidence, everything he needed. But seeing it with his own eyes was a different kind of pain. He stepped outside just in time to see them in each other's arms. For a split second, the world went quiet.

Then something inside him broke completely. Alejandro stormed toward them, his footsteps heavy and fast. Elena froze when she saw him. Javier let go immediately, his face draining of color. What the hell is this? Alejandro's voice was a growl, low but shaking. Elena tried to speak, but words failed her. Javier opened his mouth, then closed it again.

There was nothing to say. Alejandro didn't want explanations. He didn't want apologies. He wanted them gone, both of them. He shouted, cursed, pointed toward the gate, his voice echoing through the garden. Get out of my house, he said, each word sharper than a knife. Get out and never come back. Javier hesitated for a second, his pride torn between guilt and humiliation.

But in the end, he just won. walked away. He didn't look back. Elena stood there, trembling, staring at the man she had betrayed and the life she had destroyed. Allahandro's face was cold, unreadable. It's over, he said quietly. Whatever we were, it's gone. She wanted to beg, to explain, but his eyes told her there was no point. That night, Alejandro slept in the guest room. The silence between the them was louder than any argument they had ever had. But the story didn't end there.

Javier didn't just disappear. The shame of that night ate at him, the humiliation, the anger, the loss. He felt stripped of everything. He tried to tell himself it was over, that he should move on, but the thought of Elena still lingered, haunting him. Days turned into weeks, and the Garcia House became a battlefield of a unspoken words. Alejandro avoided Elena completely.

He went to work early, came home late, barely touched his food. Camila was the only one trying to keep things together, completely unaware that the real reason her father and husband avoided each other had nothing to do with work problems. Elena, for her part, was barely holding herself together. She cried in the shower so no one would hear. Every sound in the house made her jump. Every time she saw Camilla smile, her stomach twisted.

But Alejandro, Alejandro was changing. His silence wasn't peace. It was strategy. He was calculating, always thinking. The betrayal had transformed him. There was something in his eyes now, something cold and dangerous. He started drinking more, sitting a little. alone at night, staring at the footage he had saved. He'd watched the same few seconds over

and over, the touch, the look, the betrayal, until his vision blurred with rage. Somewhere deep down, he knew he should delete the videos, try to move on. But he couldn't. It was like his mind refused to let go. Meanwhile, Javier's guilt had begun to twist into something else, resentment. He convinced himself that Alejandro had ruined his life, that Elena had turned on him too easily. He started drinking too, sending Elena late-night messages that went unanswered. When she finally blocked his number, something inside him snapped. He started showing up near the Garcia home, just to watch from a distance. At first, it was harmless, or at least that's what he told himself.

But soon, it turned obsessive. He couldn't stop thinking about her, about the way it ended, about the humiliation he'd suffered in front of her husband. Elena noticed him once, his car parked near the corner, engine off, headlights dimmed. It terrified her. She didn't tell Alejandro, she was afraid of what he might do. But Alejandro was already aware. He'd seen the same car in the footage from the new cameras he had secretly installed outside

the gate. When Alejandro realized Javier was still hovering around, something in him hardened even more. Whatever mercy he'd had left vanished completely. One evening, he told Elena to leave the house for a few days, go visit her sister, he said, try to clear her head. She hesitated but agreed. As soon as she was gone, Alejandro began to set a plan in motion. He didn't tell anyone what he intended to do. maybe not even himself.

But his thoughts had gone too far for too long. He waited for Javier. And when Javier finally came back, desperate, angry, convinced he could somehow win Elena back, he walked straight into the trap Alejandro had set. That night, something happened in the Garcia House that would change everything forever. The neighbors later said they heard shouting, two men's voices, one furious, one panicked. Then a loud crash. Then silence. When Elena returned the next morning, the garden was empty, but something felt off. Alejandro was sitting at the kitchen table,

calm, too calm, his hands wrapped around a cup of coffee that had gone cold. She asked where Javier was. Alejandro looked at her, his eyes dark and hollow. He's got to gone, he said simply. And you don't need to worry about him anymore. Elena didn't know what that meant. Not then. But she could feel it, something irreversible had happened. And in that moment, the Garcia family truly broke apart. What had started as a secret, a dangerous, intoxicating secret, had become a storm that destroyed everything in its path. love, trust, family, all burned away. And the darkness that followed would haunt them for the rest of their lives. To be continued.
