A Revealing Discovery
A few days later, Mario returned with old files and a grim expression.
“The accident happened,” he said. “There was a crash. Your father died instantly.”
But the medical records told another story:
Carmen survived. She suffered memory loss but was conscious. She was confused, but not incapacitated.
And then came the devastating revelation:
“A woman claimed to be her only family and removed her from the hospital.”
The name signed on the paperwork was:
Ramona Ortega.
Leonardo struggled to breathe. His entire life, the woman he trusted had taken everything from his mother — including him.
Mario continued:
“Your mother didn’t stop saying one word in the hospital. One name.”
“Leo.”
The Hidden Safe and the Forged Documents
Determined to uncover everything, Leonardo visited the old house he grew up in. In Ramona’s private office, behind a concealed panel in the bookshelf, he found a hidden safe.
Inside were documents:
A fake death certificate stating Carmen had died a year before the accident.
A power of attorney granting Ramona total control of all Ortega assets.
Forged bank transactions transferring wealth from Leonardo’s parents to Ramona.
Letters Carmen had written expressing fear that Ramona had changed — warning signs no one ever heard.
Leonardo felt his heart tear in two. Ramona hadn’t protected him — she had stolen everything from him and erased his mother’s life.
Now he had proof.
But he needed more.
