Chapter 14 - Claudia Leaves Alejandro Too
Claudia did not marry Alejandro.
Six months after my divorce became final, she left him.
Not for me.
Not because we became friends again.
Because she finally understood that a man who built one relationship
through deception would not automatically become honest in the next.
They arranged custody of Sofia and Mateo through lawyers and family
professionals.
Alejandro remained their father.
His failures as my husband did not erase his parental rights or
responsibilities.
Claudia sent me one final letter.
I did not answer.
In it, she apologized without asking forgiveness.
She admitted envying me for years.
My career.
My father’s respect.
My marriage.
She thought having Alejandro would prove she had finally “won” something
I possessed.
Then she discovered people were not prizes.
I kept the letter.
Not because I forgave her.

Because it was the first thing she had given me in years that contained
no lie.
