The man behind her—thrusting like an animal—our Uncle Luis.
Eva’s cries grew louder, and I felt my heart shatter into a million pieces. I could hardly breathe, the air felt thick in my lungs.
How could he?
My world tilted. A wave of nausea crashed over me, so intense I thought I might actually throw up. My stomach churned violently, and the bile that had been rising in my throat now threatened to spill over.
My entire body felt cold, my hands clammy as they gripped the tablet. I fumbled with the controls, struggling to find the right button to end this horror. Finally, I managed to pause the video, but it was too late. The damage was done. I sank into Mateo’s office chair, the plush leather offering no comfort as I tried to steady myself. My mind raced, trying to make sense of the images I had just seen, of the horror that had unfolded before my eyes.

Mateo Escuro—my future husband.
