Chapter 6 - Ninety Days in the DarkLater that night, inside the secure military hospital, Alejandro finally told Elena everything.
His transport had been ambushed.
His team had survived, but their communications had been compromised.
They had spent ninety days moving through a classified extraction zone while military intelligence worked to recover them.
"No one could tell you I was alive," he explained.
Elena stared at him.
"But my mother received official documents."
"Forged."
"And the casualty notice?"
"Forged."
She closed her eyes.
Suddenly, months of confusion became clear.
Victoria had intercepted information.
She had exploited the military's secrecy.
She had convinced Elena that her husband was dead.
Then she had tried to take the unborn child.
Alejandro placed his hand gently on Elena's stomach.
Their baby kicked.
His eyes filled with tears.
"He's strong."
Elena smiled through tears.
"So are you."

Alejandro shook his head.
"No. You are."
