At my husband’s funeral, my son squeezed my hand. And he whispered, “You’re no longer part of this family.”
I felt shame. Anger. And a sorrow so deep it made me dizzy.
I didn’t shout.
I understood that, right there, in front of everyone… he wanted to humiliate me.
So I turned and walked toward the cemetery exit.
Behind me, I heard murmurs.
Phrases like “poor woman” and “how awful” followed me.
But none of them honte stupi mattered.
Because as I passed Diego, I paused for a moment.
I adjusted his coat as if fixing something.
And slipped the small device deeper into his pocket.
He didn’t notice.
But I did.
The faint click.
As I stepped outside the cemetery gates, my phone vibrated.The signal was active.
That tiny movement…
would reveal everything.
I didn’t return home.
I couldn’t.
It was no longer mine.
Instead, I sat in a quiet café near Buenavista station, staring at my phone.
The vibration wasn’t random.
Inside Diego’s coat was a tracker.
One Eduardo had used during business trips.
I had taken it that morning without thinking too much.
Because deep down…
I knew something wasn’t right.
