Exactly two days after receiving the divorce papers, I immediately suspended the monthly pension of five hundred thousand pesos that I gave to my former mother-in-law.

Living in a small rented room.

Pamela?

Gone.

The child?

Not his.

Doña Socorro?

Selling snacks outside a school.

No one helping her.

I opened his last message:

“Rebeca… please. At least send 5,000 pesos…”

I smiled.

Delete.

Block.

Because the love I once gave came from my heart—

But the freedom I now have comes from finally choosing myself.
