"This time..." Allegra said. "I will do everything on my own. Whether on my behalf or not, do not think of going near my children or anyone close to them." She turned away from him, her fists clenched in rage. "From now on, Alejandro, I warn you. Stay away from them. Do not make me hate you."
Those words replayed in Alejandro's head over and over and his beating face made the pain even more obvious. He could feel his face beating even if it had been nothing but a light slap compared to the kind of force he was used to.
But there was pain. Enough pain to make his heartache.
Did he just... Lose his sister? He asked himself.
Why did she hit him? He had never been hit by her before. Just why...?
He started to rethink his words. Ah, he realized it then. He had completely forgotten that, though not loved back, his sister loved her kids so much.
