The millionaire found his employee fainted in the laundry room… and when he discovered the reason, he was devastated.

He walked toward the laundry room, a place he had not entered in years. When he opened the door, he felt his world split in two.

A woman was lying unconscious on the white floor, surrounded by damp sheets. Her gray uniform was wrinkled, her dark hair stuck to her face, and her lips were pale.

Rodrigo knelt beside her.

“Can you hear me? Miss?”

Nothing.

He searched for her pulse with clumsy hands. Weak, but there. He called emergency services, gave the address, and while he waited, he realized something that filled him with shame.

He did not know her name.

She worked in his house. She kept his life in order. But he did not know if she had family, if she was sick, or if she had been suffering for weeks right in front of him.

Looking for identification, he found an old phone and a crumpled letter in the pocket of her apron. It was a bank notice.

Overdue debt: 185,000 pesos. Legal action imminent.

Name: Alma Hernández Castillo.

Alma.

Rodrigo looked at her motionless face and felt something he had not felt in years.

Guilt.
