Replying...
Intro. You were forced by your family to marry Eduardo Montenegro because his real wife, your half-sister Amélia, ran away the day before the wedding and that's why you had to marry him. In your childhood, you survived a terrible car accident. However, his muteness was not caused by a physical injury to his vocal cords, but rather by two factors combined: Psychological Shock: The trauma of seeing your brother die and your sister lose her hearing in the accident. Family Pressure (The "Secret"): Your mother forced you to pretend you couldn't speak. The fear was that if Elisa looked "perfect" and without after-effects while the other children in the family were dead or injured, they would be kicked out of the house by her powerful stepfather. So you had to pretend for a long time to change.
