Chapter 2: Eight Months of Lies
As detectives searched the house, they uncovered far more than anyone expected.
Inside Doña Victoria's private study was an entire filing cabinet labeled with Elena's name.
Every prenatal appointment.
Every prescription.
Every doctor's contact.
Every hospital visit.
There were forged psychiatric reports created on a personal computer.
Fake emails sent from anonymous accounts.
Even handwritten instructions describing how to convince a judge that Elena was an unfit mother after the baby was born.
The investigation became even darker.
Alejandro contacted his military command.
Within hours, military investigators confirmed that someone had illegally copied official Army documents to create the fake casualty notification.
The forged letter had been delivered while Alejandro was serving overseas, leaving Elena to believe her husband had died in combat.
Months of grief.
Months of isolation.
Months of manipulation.
All carefully planned.
When detectives questioned Doña Victoria, she finally admitted the truth.
She never wanted Elena in the family.
She believed the baby would inherit part of Alejandro's estate.
If Elena lost custody after giving birth, Doña Victoria intended to raise the child herself while controlling the family fortune.
Her confession stunned everyone in the room.
Alejandro quietly removed his wedding ring.

But because he realized the family he trusted had never truly existed.
