In 1995, he abandoned his wife at the hospital after the birth of five dark-skinned babies. Thirty years later, the truth revealed by a DNA test shook the world.
The five babies had dark skin, curly hair, and features that, according to him, did not correspond to either Spaniards or « respectable » Mexican families.
« WHO IS THE FATHER OF THESE CHILDREN? » Roberto shouted, pointing at Isabel, still weak in her hospital bed.
« YOU CHEATED ON ME! YOU HAD ANOTHER MAN!
MAYBE A FOREIGN SOLDIER OR A TOURIST!
THESE CHILDREN AREN’T MINE!
LOOK AT ME, I’M WHITE! LOOK AT YOURSELF! HOW COULD WE HAVE CHILDREN WITH SUCH DARK SKIN? »
« Roberto, please, believe me… » Isabel pleaded. »
You’re the only man I’ve ever loved. They’re your children. I’ve never been with anyone else. »
« LIAR! » he roared.
He took off his wedding ring and threw it directly at Isabel’s face.
—I’m leaving. I’ll never acknowledge these bastards again.
