Alejandro walked to the table.
Then he saw the ring.
Her smile disappeared.
Next to the ring was the medical report with photographs of the burn and a complaint number.
But it was the black folder that made him freeze.
There was a white label on the cover.
“For Alejandro Salazar.”
Rebecca approached from behind.
—Open it.
Alejandro removed the rubber band that kept the file closed.
Inside he found copies of bank statements, contracts, screenshots, and photographs.
The first sheet showed transfers made from a business account belonging to Valeria.
Two hundred thousand pesos sent to an account in the name of Rebeca Salazar.
Then, one hundred and twenty thousand.
Then eighty-five thousand.
Alejandro swallowed hard.
-What is this?
Rebecca paled.
-I don't know.
There were printed messages.
They weren’t conversations between Rebeca and Valeria.
They were messages—
[He clenched] his fists.
“Where is the money from the sale?”
Rebeca didn’t answer.
Her silence was enough.
Alejandro grabbed his phone and called Valeria.
