Quotes
"If it weren't for me... you wouldn't even be alive. You'd be nothing. Ashes. Carcass."

- Zacarías to Camila

"All my sleepless nights bear your name, Camila. Ever since we met... and fantasized about happiness. Happiness, I now understand, will never be possible. The Camila I fell in love with is gone. I killed her the day I chose Valeria Duque's heart to save your life. Because of my obsession to prove my love to you, I hurt so many people. My life makes no sense without you. It just doesn't. I don't want your forgiveness, let alone your pity. I just want to fix what I broke. When you were about to die... I wanted to give you my heart, but your blood and mine... were too different. So I made the worst possible choice. Last night, while I was thinking about all of this, I checked Samantha's medical record. And I found out I was a match for her. I understood everything... in an instant. Life has a cruel sense of irony. I wanted laughs. Long breakfasts. Children. I wanted everything with you. It didn't work out. But I experienced love. And I thank you for it. I loved you the way only desperate people love. Forgive me. Forgive me. The оvеrdоsе... the delusion, and the obsession. Goodbye, Camila."
