The night was heavy with silence as Diana sat curled up in her hotel room, staring at the clock on the wall. The early hours crept by, but sleep wouldn't come. Her heart felt like it was being crushed in a vice. Alejandro was somewhere locked away because of her, and Antonio… Antonio was waiting for her to fulfill the promise she had made.
She buried her face in her hands. The memory of Alejandro's arrest replayed in her mind, his cold, hard stare at Antonio and then the fleeting look he gave her as they took him away. It wasn't just pain in his eyes...it was betrayal.
Her thoughts spiraled. How had it come to this?
They had been so careful, yet one moment of weakness had opened the door to ruin. Now she was on the edge of losing everything. Her love. Her freedom.
