Chapter 3 - THE WOMAN WHO VANISHED
Alejandro ordered a private investigation before sunset.
No police.
No government officials.
Only the handful of men he trusted with his life.
Within forty-eight hours they found something impossible.
Camila had never disappeared.
She had received monthly payments from one of Alejandro's own logistics companies.
Someone inside his financial empire had kept supporting her for two years.
Without his knowledge.
That meant only one thing.
The betrayal had come from inside.
Meanwhile, Mateo began changing.
He started eating.
Sleeping.
Coloring.
Sometimes he even laughed quietly when Valeria made silly faces while cleaning windows.
The mansion slowly felt alive again.
Not everyone welcomed the change.
One evening Valeria noticed a middle-aged woman leaving Mateo's bedroom.
The woman introduced herself politely.
"I'm Dr. Estela."
"The psychiatrist."
Something felt wrong.
That night Mateo woke screaming again.
Violently.
More violently than ever.
Valeria searched the room.
She found an empty syringe hidden beneath the mattress.
Not prescribed.
Not documented.
She immediately called Alejandro.
The laboratory confirmed the truth.
Someone had been secretly increasing Mateo's sedatives for months.
Enough to cause hallucinations...
violent mood swings...
and emotional instability.
