My mother is gone. I never got the chance to talk to her, to hear the sound of her laugh, to feel the warmness of her embrace. Diego Rivera took that away from me.
But my father is still here. At least for now. And he’s fighting for me. When he comes here, he’ll come here forme. What kind of person would I be if I just let him die?
I’ve never felt so torn. My loyalty stretched between two men that couldn’t be further at odds. My heart equally divided.
Is there a way to save them both?
If I had to choose one life over another, whose would it be?
I don’t have to think about it because deep down I know it would be Mateo.
Maybe he doesn’t deserve it. Maybe I should want him dead as much as he wants my father dead. But I don’t. Because if I’m being honest, at the end of the day, I know where my heart lies. And right now it’s with the man lying next to me.
A man who has shown me more pain and more pleasure than I’ve ever known in my twenty-one years on this earth. A man whose touch ignites my skin. A man whose kiss brings me to my knees. A man whose body has control over mine in a way that should scare me but doesn’t.
I’m falling in love with him. I think I’ve known it for a while now. Or maybe I’m already in love with him but I’m afraid to let myself fully embrace it.
Either way, he’s got me. And what’s worse, he knows it.
“We won’t be here forever,” he says after what feels like way too long. “One way or another, this will end. And soon.”
