50 He Humiliated His Pregnant Wife, Claiming the Mistress Brought the Heir… Until the Police Revealed Who the Real Father Was / Chapter 10 / 10

Chapter 10 - The Sovereign Queen

Four years later. Mateo’s 5th Birthday.

The sun shone brightly over the private vineyard owned by the Salazar family in the picturesque hills of the countryside. Colorful balloons, bouncy castles, live music, and tables overflowing with delicious food adorned the manicured lawns. Children laughed and ran through the vines while dozens of close friends, family, and colleagues gathered to celebrate.

Mateo ran across the lawn, wearing a little blue suit, holding a toy airplane in his hand. "Look, Grandpa! It flies!"

Arturo, looking healthy, happy, and immensely proud, caught his grandson in a warm hug, lifting him into the air. "Higher than the clouds, Mateo! Higher than the clouds!"

Renata stood on the elevated terrace overlooking the celebration, holding a glass of sparkling water. She looked radiant in a pastel yellow dress, her eyes shining with peace, contentment, and profound happiness.

Beside her walked up Gabriel Vance—no longer just her lead legal counsel, but a trusted, cherished friend who had stood by her through every battle, offering unwavering support, wisdom, and respect over the years.

"A long way from Las Lomas, isn't it?" Gabriel said softly, standing beside her and looking down at the joyful scene.

"A different world entirely," Renata agreed, a soft, beautiful smile spreading across her face. "Back then, I thought my life was over. I thought the pain and humiliation would define me forever."

"You didn't let it define you," Gabriel said, turning to look at her with deep admiration. "You transformed it. You didn't just survive, Renata. You conquered."

Renata looked out at her father tossing Mateo in the air, hearing her son's pure, uninhibited laughter ring across the sun-drenched valley.

She remembered the terrified girl in the ruined blue dress on the cold floor of the club, bleeding, broken, and surrounded by wolves. She wished she could go back in time, hug that girl, and tell her: Hold on. The storm is just clearing the path for your kingdom.

"Mommy! Mommy! Come play!" Mateo called out, waving his little hands wildly from the grass.

"Duty calls," Renata laughed softly, handing her glass to Gabriel.

"Go on, Queen," Gabriel said with a warm grin.

Renata walked down the stone steps into the bright, warm sunlight, stepping toward her son, her father, and her bright, infinite future. She was no longer anyone's victim, no longer anyone's pawn, and no longer bound by the shadows of a deceitful past.

At a family dinner, I stood up smiling and announced I was pregnant. The whole table went completely silent — then my mother-in-law suddenly let out a laugh and yelled: “She’s pretending to be pregnant just to milk money from us!” Before anyone could even react, she seized my hand and pushed me off the hotel rooftop to “prove” I was faking it. Broken and barely conscious, I came to in the hospital with my husband by my side, pale as a ghost and shaking. But the moment the doctor stepped in and opened his mouth, the words he said made the entire room freeze in utter disbelief and horror.

At Christmas dinner, my mother-in-law pushed my plate away and said, “Leave—this table is for people who bring money into this family.” I turned to my husband and asked if he agreed, but his cold silence was the biggest mistake of his life, because two months later, my father’s true net worth destroyed his entire bloodline…

On Christmas morning, my sister unwrapped a MacBook, my brother got a new iPhone — and I got a re-gifted mug from last year. My mom just smiled, ‘You never make a fuss.’ I nodded, then pulled out the stack of cash-filled envelopes I had prepared for everyone... and quietly slipped each one back into my bag. As I walked out, my aunt shouted, ‘Wait — where’s our gift?’ I turned, smiled, and said, ‘You already got it — me paying your rent all year.’ They followed me into the snow, begging for ‘just a little something.’ I didn’t even turn around.
