Chapter 48

Seeing me remain silent, Alicia tilted her head, scrutinizing my

face.

"I've been wanting to say this since we first met," she said. "Don't you think we look alike?"

As I was about to shake off the frustration, the door burst

open.

Antonio paused, surprised by the packed room, and then his eyes found me.

There was a storm brewing in them, but I couldn't figure out why.

He balled his fists and called my name, demanding I step outside.

I followed him, puzzled, but got slapped across the face in the hallway. It was the first time he had ever done this to me.
