Chapter 81 The Tension

• The tension in the cabin was palpable as Aemilio faced Antonio, who leaned casually against the doorframe, a smug expression plastered across his face. The dim light filtered through the dusty windows, illuminating the darkness that clung to Antonio like a second skin. It was a stark reminder of the twisted soul that stood before them.
• "So, you want to know how I managed to take everything from Evangelina?" Antonio began, his voice dripping with arrogance. "I've been watching her mother for quite some time. She was an easy target. A beautiful woman, vulnerable after her husband left, and I took advantage of that weakness."
• Evangelina's breath caught in her throat. She pressed closer to Aemilio, her heart racing as the reality of her past unfurled before her. Antonio continued, reveling in the tale of his deceit.
