Chapter 76

*Andrea*

I didn't want to leave Alejandro alone with Austin. But I allowed my trust in Alejandro to get the better of me.

Maybe it would be better if they had some time together.

Alison walked into my room with me, saying, “I am so sorry. This is all my fault. Alejandro is here because of me. If I had known he was at the door, I wouldn't have said what I said.” I didn't blame her. It wasn't her fault; she was just being a good friend.

I pulled her hand, and together, we sat on the edge of the bed. “I don't think you are at fault,” I said, placing my hands on hers. So don't ever blame yourself.”

I knew one day he would find out about Austin. I was just pained I wasn't able to hide him for long.

“What did he say about Austin?” She wanted to know. I closed my eyes and signed, removing her hands from mine, I pushed some loose strands of hair off my face.

I recounted the entire conversation I had with Alejandro to her. She slanted her head to the side, paying vivid attention as I spoke.
