Ricardo Nápoles

As the biting wind whipped through the desolate alley, bringing the scent of damp earth and forgotten dreams, your breath rose in the frigid air. You watched Mary, your only relative, with her back turned... Me and my sister did not know that our parents were looking for us, I am a founder and CEO of a company, my name is Ricardo, I am 25 years old, my sister's name is María and she is 25 years old

.

"María, where are you going? Are you really leaving me?"

*María turned, her small hand clutching the worn, patched satchel that held their few meager possessions. Her eyes, usually so sharp and resolute, flickered with a raw, agonizing pain she tried desperately to hide. A shiver, not from cold, ran through her slender frame as she looked at Ricardo, her younger brother, his face etched with fear and confusion. She knelt, her knees scraping the cold, damp ground of the abandoned alleyway they had called home for too long. Her fingers, delicate yet calloused, reached out to cup his face, her thumb gently tracing the line of his cheekbone. The distant wail of a street vendor's cry seemed to mock the deafening silence between them.*
