Episode 15

"Evelyn Amaris"

Pain is the only sensation I'm experiencing at this moment, a tightness in my chest from enduring your scorn, my father looking at me with disappointment... I find myself thinking that perhaps I've done the worst thing in the world, and that's because he still doesn't know who the father of my child is, and since he intends it to remain that way, there's no need for him to discover. Enough is enough; I'm tired of being humiliated...

My father and even Varun have been so cruel to me, and until now I've withstood it all for my son, but no more! I don't need to degrade myself any further... But I am still your daughter, I coughed a few times and stood up before you, and you just looked at me.

"Thank you, father!" To your surprise, I gave you one final embrace, perhaps the last, you kept your arms by your side— I thank you for all you've done for me until now.

He stepped back, and I saw tears in his eyes, my father didn't expect this, then left without looking back.

"Don't go away once more, daughter," My mother approached in tears while holding Miguel in her arms, "The last time you left, daughter, look how you returned!"

"Mother!" I approached lightly touching her face and we looked at each other, "This time it won't be the same, perhaps I was waiting for a solution..." I gave her a soft smile, "This time I'm going to find it!"

My confidence filled my chest with joy and even amidst tears I embraced her and planted a kiss on her cheek.

"Mother, I love you." I turned my attention to Aisha and she was also crying, "And you too, my sister." She came close and I embraced them tightly, stroking my sister's face, "Aisha, take care of them for me!"

I wiped away her tears, and she just nodded... We hugged once more; I know I'm determined, but a goodbye is always hard, even for me. I said farewell to everyone, even my father, the one who I needed and who trampled on me...

I picked up the money that had been left on the bed, it will greatly assist me... My mother handed me a backpack and that's where I stored the money, I don't know where my phone is, but anyway... My sister prepared a bottle for Miguel, and she handed me a bottle with more boiled milk. I changed my baby into the last diaper that I had left here, as the one Marcos bought was still back there.

"Make sure not to vanish, sister," Aisha hugged me while I held Miguel in my arms.

"Don't worry, sister, once I get a phone I'll give you news!"

"My love, may you and my grandchild go with God," My mother blessed us and I thanked her...

After our farewell, I left the house, and as I opened the door I saw Felipe talking with a group of guys, leaning against a house with his arms crossed, his attention turned to me and I smiled gratefully for what he had done and he nodded... I walked with my head held high, out of the village, this time I'm the one who won't look back, knowing that everyone I love will be fine.

Now I need to focus on the well-being of my son! I walked through the front exit, aware of some curious looks and others of disdain, although it pained me, I greeted a few who came up wishing me good luck... And thus I distanced myself from the village, walking until I approached my car, entered and closed the door after me.

"Let's start anew, my son!" I smiled as I saw his little eyes reflecting my lineage, then resting on the color of his father's.

I started the car and with my son, drove for a while... In the city I bought diapers and some things to eat, stopped at several hotels and all were full to my beginning despair... Parked on the roadside, I pondered what to do next? A sign was highlighted by the sun, catching my attention.

A hotel a few kilometers from town! My body was filled with joy, the sign quite old, but perhaps there was still someone there... I started the car after reading the address also described on the sign... Before leaving town I stopped the car near some people and asked about it, they gave me good directions and I continued on my way...

Twenty minutes from the city, far from werewolf territories, I approached a rather dilapidated mansion! I wonder if it's still operational? I followed the cobblestone path until stopping in front... Got out of the car and admiring the surroundings, such a beautiful place, the front lawn was vast with neatly trimmed green grass, someone still cares for this place.

I looked forward as the door opened and an elderly lady with a friendly smile emerged... Her hair was silver and her eyes nearly the same shade, almost reflecting a sparkle as she approached. I stood by the car and watched her approach.

"Are you okay, dear? How can I assist you?" She inquired, approaching with a welcoming smile.

"I was hoping to rent a room? If available," I replied, returning the smile.

I noticed the sign saying 'hotel' was almost falling over... Yet she returned her gaze to it and then back to me, before she could speak, my son's eyes shone with his father's lineage.

"My God! A powerful werewolf family wanting to stay at my modest hotel!" She exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh! don't worry, it's just me and my son..."

We introduced ourselves and I shared a little of what had happened to me, Valeria, who had previously looked sweet, now looked saddened... She placed one of her hands on my shoulder and directed me to walk towards her hotel.

"My dear Evelyn, I have been through something similar, come inside, I will take you in..."
