One of the men handed him a tablet.
On the screen was a frozen airport security image.
Rodrigo Salinas stood near the baggage area, holding his phone up to an employee.
Valeria’s photo filled the screen.
It showed her carrying Sofia.
The picture had been taken only two weeks earlier.
A chill moved through her.
“He’s looking for me…”
“Yes,” Alejandro said.
“But why? He already took everything.”
The words escaped before she could stop them.
“The house. The money. The accounts. Everything.”
Alejandro looked directly at her.
“No.”
She lifted her eyes.
“He didn’t take everything.”
It took her a few seconds to understand.
Then she clutched Sofia tighter.
“My daughter…”
Alejandro nodded.
“I think he came for her.”
Thirty minutes later, they left the airport through a private exit reserved for authorized personnel and executive flights.
Valeria had never seen anything like it.
Three black SUVs waited outside with their engines running.
No one shouted.
No one panicked.
Everything moved with controlled precision.
Alejandro opened the back door himself.
“Get in.”
“I don’t want to bring trouble to you.”
He gave a faint smile.
“Believe me. The trouble got here before we did.”
Meanwhile, Rodrigo slammed his fist against the steering wheel of his truck.
“What do you mean she already left?”
The airport security employee shrugged.
“She exited through a private platform, sir.”
Rodrigo cursed under his breath and immediately pulled out his phone.
“Did you check the phone location?”
A woman answered on the other end.
“She turned it off ten minutes ago.”
Rodrigo smiled coldly.
“It doesn’t matter. She can’t hide for long. I need the girl.”
“Are you sure this is only about the child?”
Rodrigo went silent for several seconds.
Then his voice turned icy.
“Without Sofia, I can’t claim the trust.”
He ended the call.
No one around him knew the truth.
Not even Valeria.
During their marriage, Sofia’s grandfather had created a multimillion-peso trust for his first great-granddaughter.
The money could only be managed with approval from both parents.
Rodrigo needed Sofia back.
Not because he loved her.
But because he had lost nearly his entire fortune in fraudulent investments.
That trust was his last lifeline.
The SUVs drove toward Mexico City.
