Chapter 134

• Alessio
• Listening to Amaya's words was like a blow to my entire solar plexus. They were harsh, they were cruel, but they were very true. And it left me deeply conflicted because if Ulises turned out to be my brother's son, I wouldn't look at him the same way anymore. Two concrete facts made this situation even more complicated: part of what Paola said was true, there was a remote possibility that the lie had short legs, and if my brother had been involved with the place where Gemma was during the first days of her abduction.
• This left me in doubt, something my sister had a lot of trouble with, mostly because it was a complete mess, a compendium of abstract situations in which she ended up looking like the bad guy. What really bothered me about this whole mess was that she got hurt in the process. If that meant our brother was involved, that was a big no for me.
