Chapter 4 - The Birthmark And The Locket
"Is this true, Camila?" Alejandro asked, his voice shaking with restrained rage.
"No! She's lying! She tricked Mom!" Camila shrieked, backing away toward her security guards. "She came here as a domestic worker six months ago! She's an imposter hunting for money!"
Lucía slowly stood up from the floor, smoothing down her gray apron. She reached beneath her collar and pulled out a small, tarnished silver locket hanging on a thin chain.
"When I was left at the orphanage in Texas, this locket was wrapped inside my baby blanket," Lucía explained softly. "It contains a photograph of Doña Esperanza when she was young, and a matching crest to the one on your family ring."
Doña Esperanza nodded weeping. "And she carries the same crescent birthmark on her right wrist that my mother had."
