Chapter 52

• Maximiliano's mother had heard some rather peculiar sounds, loud enough to wake her up in the middle of the night, the force of them rising and falling, giving the appearance of knocking, and after having made an inspection of her own house, she had come to the conclusion that they took place in her son's bedroom; She had not wanted to enter, at least not abruptly, the woman had stayed in the hallway, walking around until the noise had ceased, but she had taken her time to do it, more than two hours of sounds of things falling, banging on the wall, she had even heard a female scream, she had never been a very nosy woman, much less in the adult life of her son, but the curiosity to know what had happened, gnawed her, for that reason, she was forced to take her steps towards the room of both of them.
• The door was opened, giving way to a scene that the woman did not imagine, even, for a few moments, she tore credit to her eyes, telling herself that what she saw was not real, that it was a mirage that her head had sent her with the purpose of increasing her torture.
• Amelia naked, lying on her son's chest, her torso also naked, her sight was not the best in the world, in spite of this, she managed to see the breasts of Maximiliano's false wife shining, cornered against her son's strong torso, without any modesty; the woman was embraced by the man, both were sleeping, so deeply that the light coming from the corridor did not represent a disturbance for any of them. Amelia's hair was entangled between the left hand of her son, who seemed to have caressed it to sleep.
