‘What is she up to? Is she still alive and well? Do I deserve all this?’
These questions have stayed with him since that night.
He feels like a coward whenever he remembers how sad and heartbroken, she looked and sounded that night.
He had always taken pride in being a strong man and a hero. He saw himself as a man who could do anything he set his mind to.
And yet, in only one month, he was rendered useless and helpless, all at the hands of people he knew nothing about.
Miguel had always known he was selfish, and he did not care about others as long as it benefited him.
He did not expressly commit murder or other horrific crimes to get to where he was, and he was not a saint, either.
This is why, when he cheated on his wife and neglected her feelings for him during their marriage, it never disturbed him.
