Three Months Later
The village was nestled in a valley surrounded by towering mountains and dense forests, a remote haven where life moved at a tranquil pace. It had been three months since Alejandro reclaimed the Castillo name with Antonio jailed for his crimes, and now he stood at the edge of the village where he and Diana had once sought refuge. The memories of that time...though brief...were etched deeply in their hearts.
Diana walked beside him, holding baby Alejandra in her arms, her eyes scanning the familiar surroundings. The small homes with thatched roofs, the narrow dirt paths, and the laughter of children running barefoot across the fields all brought back the sense of peace she had felt during those difficult days a year ago. This was where she had taught the village children while hiding from Antonio, where she had momentarily found solace amid chaos.
