Part 3/8:
The stakes raise even higher when Major Enrique arrives at the compound with a grim directive: kill Manuela. This order arises from Alma's desire to manipulate the narrative surrounding her family's image. As news of Ivan and Manuela’s illness spreads, Hugo and Julia grapple with their guilt over facilitating the young couple's escape.
In another subplot, Amelia searches for Fernando, a policeman whose son has been missing for three years. Fernando's firm denial of his son’s existence creates a poignant moment of tension and conflict. Major Enrique, aware of Amelia's claims about missing children, orders his men to heighten security in anticipation of potential threats.
