Araceli POVAfter I had put Valeria and Essel to sleep, I gingerly walked out of the room.When I saw Raphael, I froze.Raphael was standing in the hallway on the second floor, staring at a painting on the wall.Raphael gazed intently at a painting. The side of his face was perfect and had me mesmerized. His deep brown eyes revealed a wisdom and sensitivity, as if he could see every detail and meaning hidden in the painting.
Raphael POVWhy was Araceli suddenly so resistant to this?Never mind. Since she had already made up her mind, I would not persuade her again.I just felt a bit sad, because Krish was really a computer genius.I thought about it, but couldn't come up with an answer, so I turned around and walked into the guest room on the first floor.As soon as I entered, I saw a pair of men's slippers on the bed and a men's suit hangi
Araceli POVThe sun shines through the window.I opened my eyes and always felt a little pain in my head, as if I hadn't slept well last night.There was a soreness coming from my throat.I got out of bed, drank a glass of water, and felt better.I washed up and changed my clothes and went downstairs."Ms. Chancey, good morning!"

Araceli POVI worked at Eclipse Group for an afternoon. After work, I went to Brizela Daycare to pick up Krish and Valeria."Ms. Chancey, can I have word with you?"Mayra pulled me aside and said with a smile, "We had a painting class today. The painting teacher wants to take Valeria as a student. Here is her card. If you are thinking about it, you can call her."I had received many of these cards and had heard from others that Valeria was artistically gifted, but her eyes...
Araceli POVI glanced at the caller ID and my face was a little surprised.This person hadn't contacted me in a year."Mr. Elford?""Araceli, I came to New York yesterday for a painting exhibition and thought of you. This is your hometown, isn't it?"An old voice came from the phone."Do you remember what I said to you a year ago?"
Raphael POVAt Royal Group.I was in a meeting.My phone suddenly vibrated on my desktop.I glanced at it.It was Maddox.Maddox rarely called me. He knew I was more used to reading text messages and emails.These days, Essel snuck out of the house a lot, w
