Chapter 5

Un año paso siguiéndola por todas partes, 365 días en los que Estefanía no pudo evitar fijarse en él.

— Me gusta, más que eso en realidad. — le confeso la morena a su madre.

— Sigue tu corazón, ni siquiera tu mente, el amor no entiende de razones, solo haz lo que tu corazón diga. — Victoria siempre fue la madre perfecta para Estefanía, jamás hizo diferencia con sus hijos de sangre y ella, eran toda una familia.

— Tu madre tiene razón, pero debes ser consiente de algo, él no podrá saber quién soy, ni quien serás hasta después de casarse.

— Lo entiendo, y es por eso que aun mantengo la distancia, yo sé que Dante tomara el lugar del señor Preto, ¿por qué no puedo…? — su padre no la dejo terminar de hablar.

— No, tu madre me traiciono después de que nos casamos, ni siquiera eso fue garantía de guardar el secreto de la familia, imagina que sucedería si todo es un truco de los Berlusconi.

— Fabiola no es mi madre, mi madre es Victoria y ella jamás te traiciono, es más, te defendió no te olvides que yo sé todo. — respondió la mayor de sus hijas que tenía muy en claro todo lo vivido cuando era apenas una niña de 7 años.

— Hija… debes entender que no solo es tu vida la que depende de tu decisión, es toda la familia.

Victoria como siempre trajo luz y entendimiento a todo el asunto, si su secreto era descubierto, no solo ella sería un blanco fácil, sus hermanos también, su gente, ya que para ellos no eran solo un grupo mafioso, eran una familia y se cuidaban como tales, confianza, respeto, eso los mantenía fieles a LA SOMBRA ITALIANA.

Estefanía tomo su decisión y Dante se aseguró de despejar toda duda que rondaba la cabeza de su padre, asegurándole que los Santoro solo era una familia de empresarios que Fabrizzio la mano derecha de la verdadera SOMBRA, solo estaba a su servicio porque la señora Victoria Zabet era cuñada del mafioso más grande en Rusia EL VIDENTE y que era sobrina de los mejores asesinos del mundo.

Fue así que esta pareja comenzó su historia pero no fue lo único que tuvieron que enfrentar, lo que realmente le hizo entender a Estefanía que ese hombre la amaba de verdad y que estaría a su lado sin importar que luego de la boda se enterara de quien era realmente ella fue lo que sucedió dos años después, A los 24 años Estefanía descubrió que toda su familia materna había muerto por diferentes tipos de cáncer, quizás si su padre no hubiera matado a Fabiola su final hubiera sido el mismo, por lo que decidió someterse a una prueba genética para determinar que tantas posibilidades habían de que ella padeciese esa enfermedad, con gran pesar descubrió que las probabilidades estaban en su contra, aun así decidió dar batalla aun antes de cualquier malestar, debía eliminar todo aquello que en algún futuro pudiera complicar las cosas, cualquier cosa que la pusiera en desventaja, por ello decidió someterse a una operación para extirparse los ovarios y las trompas de Falopio, no sin antes tomar las precauciones que le asegurarían poder ser madre, La congelación de óvulos, también llamada crio preservación de ovocitos maduros, es un método para conservar el potencial reproductivo de las mujeres para el futuro. Los óvulos que se extraen de los ovarios se congelan sin fecundar y se conservan para su uso en el futuro. Dante estuvo a su lado a lo largo de todo el proceso, estaban decididos que en un futuro ambos serian padres solo debían encontrar el vientre que llevaría a su hijo o hija. Todo estaba planificado, pero a lo largo de los años de noviazgo las dudas e inquietudes del hombre surgieron.

— Dante, no entiendo cuál es el problema, ella no te oculta nada, paso gran parte del día con Giovanni y ellos son gente normal. — dio su punto de vista su fiel empleado Simón.

— Lo sé, pero también sé que Estefanía me oculta algo, cada vez que hablamos de la boda la noto inquieta, ya tomé mi decisión, hare fecundar algunos de los óvulos, si esta insegura de nuestra unión la obligare mediante un bebé de ser necesario.

— Creo que te meterías en un problema, a Alessandro no le gustara y no te olvides que la familia Zabet la aprecia como una verdadera sobrina y nieta, no importa que Santoro no sea la sombra, ellos tienen al vidente y los ángeles de la muerte de su lado, lo único que conseguirás será una guerra de mafias. — le quiso hacer ver lo lógico, pero como Victoria ya lo había dicho el amor carece de lógica.

— Ya tomé mi decisión, ahora tú encontraras a la mujer que lleve a mi hijo en su vientre, que no cause problemas y sobre todo que sea una santa, que no fume, beba alcohol o consuma alguna sustancia, ¿entendido?

— Como tú digas.

Dante amaba a Estefanía, ella amaba a Dante, pero el amor y miedo a perder a quien uno ama nos hace cometer locuras y Dante acababa de cometer la peor de todas.

— Simón, necesito saber cómo va el crecimiento de mi hijo o hija, además aun no me has entregado un perfil del vientre subrogado. — Dante se sentía ansioso, solo faltaban tres meses para la boda y sentía la necesidad de decirle a Estefanía lo que había hecho, pero antes debía tener toda la información en sus manos.

— No hay problema, ahora estoy con Alondra y quede en reunirme con Giovanni más tarde, pero mañana te llevare todo.

— Bien te espero mañana.

Mientras Dante esperaba a su prometida caía en cuenta que sería padre y la madre aún no estaba enterada de nada.

— Esto debe ser un caso único.
