Daniella stared at Santiago, struggling to make sense of the revelation that had turned her world upside down. Only moments earlier, she had been trying to understand what his sudden concern meant, wondering whether the distance between them had finally begun to narrow down. Now, knowing that he was the father of her baby, she no longer knew what to believe.
Perhaps she had misunderstood everything. Perhaps the concern she had seen in his actions had never meant what she hoped it did. The baby was his, and that fact alone could explain why the situation between them had changed so unexpectedly. The child belonged to him and the Torres Mendoza family, and Daniella could not stop wondering whether that was the only reason things had become different.
Her eyes were filled again with tears as she turned away from him.
"So that's all it was..." she whispered, her voice breaking. "You changed your mind because the baby is yours."
