– Victoria.
– No!
His voice is up.
I didn’t know he kept the baby.
The silence became absolute.
Alexander is slowly rising.
That he kept it?
Victoria took her hand to her mouth.
– Too late.
Elena is in the face.
– You knew it.
Not in the way you think.
How else can you know I was pregnant?
Victoria began to cry.
The truth comes out fragmented.
Mariana had learned about the pregnancy when Elena came to the office.
Victoria had been there.
Mariana told him that a child would again link Alexander to a woman whom she considered inappropriate.
He asked Victoria not to say anything to her.
Instead, he promised him that, once Elena was permanently missing, Alexander would notice who had really been by her side.
Did you know five years? Ask Alexander.
I didn’t know it was yours for sure.
But you knew there was a possibility.
Victoria was crying.
I loved you.
Alexander looked at her as if he saw her for the first time.
– No. You wanted to have me.
His vibrating phone.
“Mother.”
For the first time in her life, seeing her name, Alexander felt anger.
He’s Responsible
Where are you? Ask Mariana. Victoria told me that Elena is on the boat. Listen to me before you do anything stupid.
Alexander put the phone on the speaker.
Max is my son?
Silence.
— Alexander…
Is it my son?
I did what was best for you.
Elena closed her eyes.
Victory is sitting.
And Alexander remained still.
You stole five years of my child’s life.
I protected you! – I’m shouting Mariana. You were about to build everything! Hotels, family name, your future! Elena was holding you back!
She was my wife.
And he was divorced from you!
“Because for months you told me he was cheating on me.
Again silence.
Then Alexander understood.
The Quarrels.
Suspicions.
Anonymous messages received during the marriage.
Photos taken out of context.
His mother had been present behind every crack.
Did you do that too?
Mariana did not answer.
There was no need.
Alexander closed.
Victoria tried to touch her arm.
He was retiring.
When we get to the shore, you squeeze things out of my apartment.
— Alexander…
“Four years you slept next to me knowing that somewhere there was a possibility of having a child.
I love you!
Then you should have told me the truth.
Victoria comes out crying.
