It was as if Manu’s brightness had transformed into darkness as soon as her phone started ringing. She began trembling, her smile faded, and her eyes became tense as her body stiffened,
“Damn! It’s my mother again,” Manu said with apprehension and a hint of sadness.
“Honey, answer it. She won’t stop calling, I’m sure of that.”
“I’ll answer in the apartment,” Manu sighed. “I’m not going to college today. The professor who was supposed to teach had to cancel and sent a message to the group. I turned on my phone to check the messages and forgot to turn it off again.”
“Good for me, I get to cuddle with my little one all night long.” I opened the apartment door, and she walked in with her phone ringing again. This time she answered, put it on speaker, and left it on the coffee table, sitting on the couch with a sad expression – her joy from minutes before had vanished.
“Manuela, who do you think you are, you little brat?” The female voice sounded hostile on the other end of the line.
“What is it now, Mom?” Manu responded dejectedly.
“And you dare to ask? You kept your phone turned off all day, closed your bank account, and got Jenna fired. You’re such a spoiled and petty little creature!”
“Mom, please, stop!” Manu was holding back tears.
“No, I won’t stop, Manuela. You’re crossing the line. You weren’t supposed to touch the money that old man left you. I don’t know why I didn’t take it from your account before.”
“You didn’t because you couldn’t, Mom. The money is mine, Grandpa left it to me, not you.”
“That cursed old man! If he weren’t dead already, I would kill him. The only thing he ever did was spoil you and Cam. Poor Julian didn’t get anything from that old man. This money should be Julian’s, he’s a man, he’s the one who needs the money, not you Whoever heard of a woman with that kind of money?”
“Mom, enough! The money is mine. If Grandpa didn’t leave anything for Julian, it’s not my fault. Now, please, let me live my life.

“Your life? You’re going to quit college and come back home. I’m already talking to Calvin, and I’m going to marry you off to his youngest son.”
I was just listening, but when that woman said those words, I became deeply irritated. But she wasn’t going to take my little one away from me, no way. I couldn’t stay quiet anymore.
“You’re very mistaken if you think you can force Manuela to marry anyone. In fact, you can’t force her to do anything.” I looked at Manu, who had gone pale, all the blood drained from her face. I squeezed her hand, trying to convey confidence and security, but the squeeze I got back was almost a cry for help.
“Who’s speaking?” The woman asked from the other end of the line.
“My name is Flavian Moreno, I’m Manuela’s boyfriend. And I’m also a police detective, so don’t even think about continuing to threaten Manuela. Being her mother doesn’t give you the right to abuse her,” I said, feeling anger taking over me.
“Boyfriend? I knew that little slut went to the big city just to mess around. Oh, but now I’m going to come get her!” Every word from that woman made me want to kill her.
“You’re going to stay right where you are at your house. Because if you show up here mistreating Manu or trying to force her to leave, I’ll arrest you and get a restraining order that will keep you far away from my girlfriend.”
“Listen here, I don’t know who you are, and I don’t care. Now put that worthless Manuela on the phone/” Her voice was filled
with hatred.

It was clear that this woman didn’t like Manu. I had seen cases like this before, where a mother couldn’t love her child, but usually they just neglect their child. This woman, however, was sadistic she enjoyed tormenting Manu, she liked making her suffer. At that moment, I heard a male voice shouting on the other end of the line.
“ENOUGH, RITA!” A man shouted, and Manu trembled. His voice was like thunder. “GIVE ME THAT PHONE.”
“Orlando, I…” The woman’s tone completely changed.
“THE PHONE, RITA!” The man bellowed. “Hello, who’s speaking
“My name is Flavian Moreno, I’m Manuela’s boyfriend. And who are you, sir?” I responded calmly. I would never allow anyone, to mistreat my little one ever again – I would protect her from whoever it might be.
“Good evening, Flavian, I’m Manuela’s father, Orlando,” the man replied politely. “I apologize, but it’s news to me that my daughter has a boyfriend.”
