Terlihat seorang pria dengan rahang yang tegas tengah duduk santai sambil membaca koran, tiba-tiba... "Plak!" satu tamparan keras berhasil mendarat di pipinya. Namun, dirinya tetap tenang dan fokus melihat ke depan sambil membenahi kemejanya. "Kau bahkan tak pantas di sebut sebagai seorang ayah!" teriak orang yang menamparnya tadi. Seketika pria itu mengerutkan dahinya "Apa yang kau maksud?" "Jangan pura-pura tidak tau!" tangannya mencekik leher pria itu. "Padahal kau sudah tau konsekuensi nya jika bertindak seperti ini padaku. Ck! Dasar gadis yang bodoh!" umpatan itu sukses membuat cengkraman di lehernya semakin kuat. "Jangan pernah panggil aku dengan sebutan itu! Aku punya nama! Panggil aku ALUNA!"

Antes de que tuviera lugar la ceremonia de compromiso, mi prometido, Vincenzo Rizzi, hizo un anuncio formal en la cubierta de un barco de carga atracado en el nuevo puerto. Aparentemente, mi hermanastra menor, Sofia Russo, era quien se convertiría en su esposa legítima. Vincenzo tenía un brazo alrededor de la cintura de Sofia. Mientras permanecían de pie bajo el reflector, él le sonrió con ternura. —De acuerdo con las reglas de la mafia, solo aquellas que han recibido el reconocimiento de los ancianos principales podrán convertirse en la Madre de la familia. Las demás no son más que amantes y concubinas. Bajo las bendiciones de los ancianos de la familia, Vincenzo le dio a Sofia un collar de diamantes negros. Luego, intercambiaron votos entre ellos y quedaron comprometidos. Yo simplemente observé la ceremonia desarrollarse en silencio. Luego, hice una cita para un aborto. Había amado a Vincenzo desde que tenía 16 años. Ahora tengo 28, lo que significa que he estado enamorada de él durante 12 años. Sin embargo, tal parece que Sofia era la única a la que él había amado. En ese caso, elegí dejarlo ir de una vez por todas. Después de eso, viajé a una casa segura oculta ubicada en Sombral. Todo lo que le dejé a Vincenzo fue una carta en la que declaré la terminación de nuestro compromiso y un regalo de despedida. Pero el hombre, que nunca había mostrado preocupación por mí en todo este tiempo, terminó derrumbándose hasta el punto de no tener ni siquiera ánimo para ocuparse de los asuntos de su familia.

Pagkalipas ng tatlong taon ay nagbalik siya, at narinig ko siyang pinag-uusapan ang tungkol sa dovorce. Wala siyang sinabi kahit na matapos niyang makuha ang aking pagkabirhen bago siya umalis. Sobrang sakit ng naramdaman ko. Hindi niya ako binigyan ng pagkakataong maging mabuting asawa para sa kanya, pero gusto niya pa rin akong hiwalayan. Hindi dahil mahal ko siya, kundi dahil inakala kong naging tapat ako sa kanya habang siya naman ay nagpakasaya kasama ang kanyang kalaguyo. Ngunit nagawa pa niyang magreklamo na parang ako ang sumakal sa kanya. Galit na galit ako. Sisiguraduhin kong mahihirapan sila ng kanyang kalaguyo na makumbinsi ako sa diborsyo. Pero bakit parang iba ang ikinikilos niya? Bakit nakakaramdam ako ng pagkasabik sa tuwing magkakadikit kami?
