Chapter 6 – The Baby They Wanted to Steal
Chapter 6 – The Baby They Wanted to Steal
A baby has no enemies.
A baby has no power.
A baby has no idea about wealth, inheritance, or family names.
A baby only knows one thing.
The heartbeat of the person protecting them.
But inside the Alcázar family, Sebastián and Valeria’s unborn child had become something completely different.
A weapon.
A bargaining chip.
A threat.
Because Rebeca Alcázar did not see the baby as a grandson.
She saw the baby as the final piece of a plan she had spent years creating.
And now Sebastián finally understood why.
The Child Who Changed the Balance of Power
After Rosa left the hospital room, nobody spoke for several minutes.
The document remained on the table.
Those few handwritten words seemed heavier than a thousand pages.
The child must be removed from Valeria before the truth is revealed.
Sebastián read it again.
Then again.
As if his mind refused to accept what his eyes were seeing.
"Why?"
His voice cracked.
Valeria looked at him.
"Because they were afraid."
"Afraid of a baby?"
She shook her head.
"No."
A pause.
"They were afraid of what this baby represented."
The Secret Hidden in the Bloodline
Mateo stepped closer.
He placed another folder beside the first.
"This is what I found."
Sebastián opened it.
Inside were old family records.
Birth certificates.
Medical reports.
Financial documents.
At first, nothing seemed unusual.
Until he saw one name.
His grandfather.
The founder of Alcázar Holdings.
Then another name.
A woman nobody in the family mentioned.
His grandfather's first wife.
Sebastián frowned.
"I don't understand."
Mateo pointed to the documents.
"Your grandfather had a daughter before he built the Alcázar empire."
Sebastián looked confused.
"But everyone said he only had one child."
"Exactly."
Silence.
The Alcázar family history had been rewritten.
A branch of the family had been erased.
And Valeria's baby was connected to it.
Why Rebeca Was Terrified
Valeria looked at Sebastián.
"When I found those documents, I understood."
"Understood what?"
"Why your mother wanted control of the baby."
Sebastián waited.
"Because the baby is not just the next Alcázar heir."
She pointed toward the documents.
"The baby is the person who can legally challenge the entire family structure."
Sebastián felt a chill.
"How?"
Mateo answered.
"Your grandfather created a hidden trust."
A pause.
"A trust that activates when a descendant from the original bloodline is born."
Sebastián stared at him.
"And my mother knew?"
"She discovered it years ago."
The Real Reason Behind the Marriage
Sebastián sat down slowly.
Everything was changing.
Every memory.
Every assumption.
"Then my marriage..."
Valeria looked at him.
"Was not just about love."
The words hurt.
But they were necessary.
"Your mother needed me close."
Sebastián looked at her.
"Because of the baby."
Valeria nodded.
"She believed I could give birth to the person who would inherit everything."
His face became filled with pain.
"She never saw you as my wife."
"No."
Valeria whispered.
"She saw me as a way to continue the family line."
The False Motherhood Accusation
The next morning, the attack began.
A news article appeared online.
ALCÁZAR HEIR CONCERNED ABOUT WIFE'S MENTAL CONDITION
Sebastián stared at the headline.
His blood ran cold.
The article claimed:
Valeria suffered emotional instability.
Doctors had concerns.
The family was considering intervention.
Every lie they had prepared was now public.
"They are trying to destroy her before the baby is born."
Mateo said.
Sebastián nodded.
"But why now?"
The answer came immediately.
"Because they know you changed sides."
The First Time Sebastián Fought Back
For years, Sebastián protected the Alcázar name.
He avoided scandals.
He controlled information.
He solved problems quietly.
But this time was different.
The person being destroyed was the woman he loved.
And his child.
He called a press conference.
Everyone expected him to defend his family.
Instead, he stood in front of cameras and said:
"My wife is not unstable."
The room went silent.
"She is a victim of a campaign designed to remove her rights as a mother."
Reporters immediately began asking questions.
"Are you accusing your own family?"
Sebastián looked directly at the cameras.
"I am accusing anyone who participated in harming my wife."
Including his mother.
Rebeca's Reaction
At the Alcázar mansion, Rebeca watched the broadcast.
She did not scream.
She did not panic.
She simply turned off the television.
"Interesting."
She said.
Octavio looked nervous.
"He is no longer controllable."
Rebeca smiled.
"No."
A pause.
"He is finally becoming dangerous."
The Final Trap
That night, Sebastián received a message.
Unknown number.
One sentence.
If you want to know who pushed your wife, come alone.
Attached was a photograph.
A photograph of the hospital corridor.
The night Valeria was injured.
Sebastián zoomed in.
At first, he saw Rebeca.
Then Octavio.
Then a shadow near the stairs.
Someone else.
Someone he recognized.
His heart stopped.
Because the person in the photograph was not a stranger.
It was someone Valeria trusted.
Someone who had comforted her.
Someone who claimed to be helping her.
Sebastián looked toward Valeria.
"There's something you need to know."
She looked at him.
"What?"
He showed her the photograph.
The color disappeared from her face.
Because she knew the person immediately.
And her whisper changed everything.
"No..."
Sebastián grabbed her hand.
"Who is it?"
Valeria looked at the photograph.
Then she said the name.
The name of the person who had been standing beside her for three years.
The person who knew all her secrets.

The person who helped the Alcázar family build their lie.
