She couldn't even protect their ashes . The sharp click of high heels echoed closer and closer until Yesenia appeared in the doorway . She wore a flowing red dress , every curve accentuated to perfection . " Grace , look at my dress . Should I give you one too ? " Before Grace could respond , Yesenia covered her mouth in feigned surprise . " Oh dear , I forgot . Your family just passed away . " " What a tragedy .

" A cold gleam flickered in Yesenia's eyes , dark and unyielding . " What a joke . You gave him to me ? " " All I have to do is crook my finger , and Antonio will tear his heart out for me . " " And as for your daughter … " She idly examined her perfectly manicured nails . " She was just a bastard . She was an eyesore , that's all . " Eyesore ? A long - buried rage surged , flooding her veins with newfound strength . In a flash , she lunged at Yesenia , her hands tightening mercilessly around her throat . " Bitch ! Go to hell and pay for it ! " " Grace , have you lost your mind ? Let go of Yesenia ! " A pair of strong arms pried Grace's fingers away with brutal force , throwing her to the ground .
