Family witnesses would describe Valeria as increasingly aggressive.
Mariana would provide videos.
Teresa would claim Valeria had threatened to keep the child away from Nicolás’s family.
Ernesto would say Valeria had become irrational about money.
Then came a sentence that made Valeria’s blood run cold.
If separation occurs shortly after delivery, priority should be establishing the father’s household as the stable environment while financial negotiations remain pending.
“The father’s household,” Valeria whispered.
Lucía pointed to another attachment.

Teresa was named as the person who would assist him.

“They planned to remove me from my own home.”
“They were going to try.”
“And use my baby to do it.”
“Yes.”
Valeria stood so quickly that the chair scraped backward.
“Call the building.”
“I already did.”
“I want them out.”
“We have to do this carefully.”
“They attacked me in my home.”
“And we are going to use that.”
Lucía turned the laptop toward her.
“But right now, Nicolás thinks you are emotional, injured and afraid.”
