Chapter 52: CHAPTER 51

Meanwhile, John is shocked and overcome with sadness, after learning that the twins and their father are dead. Their story is so sad. He asks her how their younger sister is. The nurse says she is fine, and from what she has heard, the young girl has grown up into a bright, happy, and confident young woman, despite the tragedies, that have marked her life. He cannot quite put a finger on it, but, he feels an unexplainable feeling when he sees the two children.

Later that night, when Gina was in her bedroom, she pulls out a simple yet stunning necklace. Her mind then goes back several years, to a day before her and her brother's eighth birthday. She is in her room, coloring in the afternoon when there is a knock and then Antonio enters. She turns and then looks at him. Even aged, eight, Antonio was still a charmer and a rascal. He smiles and sits on her bed. Gina (Gabriela) tells him, to leave her alone, and get out of her room.
