His Mistress.
Tears glistened on her cheeks, catching me by surprise.
"What do you mean?" I asked, my curiosity piqued.
She smiled faintly. Her once bring eyes, now dimmed.
"I was Raul's father's mistress before we got married," she stated quietly.
My eyes widened—I hadn't expected that.
"Yes, Angel," she went on, her voice steady but laced with pain. "I was his mistress. The difference is, he already had a child with his wife."
I stared at her, speechless.
She played with the water as she spoke, her story unfolding like the ripples beneath her fingers.
