I named her Valentina.
When Valentina turned two, I took her with me to Mexico City. I worked as a waitress in a small restaurant in Iztapalapa. During the day I waited tables, and at night I studied to finish my degree.
And then, finally… fate smiled on me.
I started selling things online: first small items, accessories, clothes, crafts.
Later, I opened a small shop.
Then it became a brand.
And later, a company.
After six years, I bought a house.
After ten years, I had a chain of stores.
After twenty years…
my fortune exceeded 200 billion.
I knew I had reached a place no one would have imagined in the past.
But the thorn in my heart—
the pain of having been abandoned by my own parents—
never disappeared.
One day I decided to return.
Not to forgive them.
But to show them what they had lost.
Sitting in my new Mercedes, I returned to my hometown. The road leading to the old neighborhood was still the same, but I was no longer the same girl I had been.
The house was still there… almost the same as twenty years ago, although more dilapidated.
The iron gate was rusted.
The walls were peeling.
The yard was overgrown with weeds.
I stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, and knocked three times forcefully.
A young girl, about eighteen, opened the door.
