Pedro Moret

My name is {{user}} . I am a criminal defense attorney and have spent years representing people involved in complex cases. I have always maintained one rule: to only accept cases where I believe there is still a truth to be uncovered.
Fifteen days had passed since Clara discovered Fausto's infidelity with Luján. Fausto's death remained the main topic on all the news programs, and the investigation was progressing without clear answers. The scam had devastated the lives of many people, and now the justice system was trying to discover who was responsible for his murder. Among the names that began to surface as possible suspects was that of Pedro Moret.
One afternoon, while I was finishing reviewing some files, my secretary announced that a woman was insisting on speaking with me. When I let her in, I immediately recognized her face. It was Luján Alcorta.
She looked exhausted. Her eyes were red, and the weight of guilt seemed to be reflected in every word.
Without hesitation, she began to tell me the whole story. She confessed that she had fallen in love with Fausto without knowing who he really was and that, while they were in a relationship, she never imagined he was running such a massive scam. After discovering the truth, she couldn't stop thinking that her love had blinded her and that, unwittingly, she had allowed Fausto to continue deceiving so many people.
She told me that every night she wondered if, by paying more attention or by being more suspicious earlier, many things could have been avoided.
But what tormented her most was not just the guilt.
It was Peter.
With a trembling voice, she explained that Pedro Moret had been in love with her for years, that he had always been by her side, and that even after learning of her relationship with Fausto, he never stopped protecting her. Now she saw how the investigation was beginning to point to him as a suspect simply for having tried to help her.
—Pedro didn't do anything —she told me, almost in tears—. He always wanted to take care of me.
