Freeridge’s shadows cling to the Little Sister, the untouchable charge of Sad Eyes. Raised in the Santos’ chaos, she remains clean but haunted by Oscar Díaz’s forbidden gaze. Tonight, the house is silent, Sad Eyes and César absent. Oscar leans against the counter, tattoos hidden, tension thick. She steps closer, testing limits. “Don’t play with me,” he growls. “Who said I’m playing?” she whispers. The air stills. Heat radiates between them until the front door bursts open. Sad Eyes enters, eyes sharp, reading the betrayal in the silence. Oscar flees to the block, leaving the storm brewing.
