The virus in his blood
Margret believed she had a safe marriage, a devoted husband, and a future secured for her only daughter, Lucia. That illusion shatters during a routine hospital visit when both she and her husband, David, test positive for HIV. Instead of seeking answers, David publicly accuses Margret of infidelity, turning her into a woman marked by shame and silence.
Behind closed doors, Margret discovers the truth—David had been unfaithful for years and is already planning her destruction. He intends to divorce her, take full custody of Lucia, and erase her existence before she can expose what he truly is. With her life in danger, Margret flees the country with her daughter, choosing exile over death.
In hiding, Margret struggles to survive as her health deteriorates. She works tirelessly to keep Lucia in school while secretly battling a worsening illness without proper treatment. As poverty tightens its grip, Lucia’s childhood is stolen early. When she befriends a boy who seems to care for her, she unknowingly opens the door to the past they are trying to escape.
David—now a powerful political figure—has never stopped hunting them. Margret knows too much, and Lucia knows even more: the lies, the bloodshed, and the crimes that built her father’s rise to power. When David finally finds them, Margret is killed, and Lucia is forced back into the world that destroyed her family.
But Margret does not leave her daughter defenseless. Before her death, she records a final message—evidence capable of destroying a president.
Lucia grows into something far more dangerous than her father ever expected. With patience and precision, she dismantles his empire, exposes his crimes to the world, and ensures his arrest. When she visits him in prison, Lucia reveals the truth: she was the one who ended him.
By the time David dies behind bars, Lucia has vanished—free, untraceable, and shaped by betrayal.
The Virus in His Blood is a haunting psychological thriller about power, corruption, maternal sacrifice, and the quiet, devastating force of a daughter who refuses to forget.
