Chapter 11


    My countenance changed as I looked towards my bedroom door . _ _ This is my house ! _ How dare th


    ey do this to my bed ?


    It was evident that Daniel heard the noise too , for there was pity in his eyes as he


    looked at me . I never expected Joana and Carlos to be so shameless as to bring their case back home


    , I also never expected to bump into themdoing such an act while with an outsider .  _


    Shame , sickness , and embarrassment swirled and sliced   through my being as I rose from where I


    was and dragged Daniel out of the house with the gift I bought in my


    hands . I staggered down the stairs without fully registering it . All the shit Carlos and _Joana did , I nev


    er wanted anyone , especially Daniel , to know , as I


    did n’t want someone I rejected to  see me living such a mean life .


    “ Beautiful … ” Daniel called me while feeling sorry for me .


    However , a smile bloomed on my face when I lifted my head . “ Daniel , you may have misunderstood t


    hat situation . _ Carlos likes to watch pornography , so he may have forgotten to turn it off . However , it


    is a little strange ,to have a stranger overhear this , so I dragged you out . I was n’t sure what expressio


    n I was using as I spoke , nor did I care how bad my excuse was , since all I wanted was to hide along


    with my _shameful existence .


    “ I see , so this is what ‘s going on … ” Daniel gave a sad smile as he


    spoke , “ So your husband likes to watch pornography , which might be weird … ”


    I knew he did n’t believe a word I said , but he did n’t expose my lie , so I too preferred to deceive myse


    lf . After saying goodbye to him , I walked aimlessly through the streets for a long time before heading hExclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    ome . _of Isabel in trance . As soon as I saw her , I broke down as she screamed and held her , but I


    didn’t shed a single tear .


    The next day , I


    returned once more with the gift and the luggage in my hands . Bianca jumped into my arms just like


    that at the door . “ Mom , I missed you ! ” She continued kissing me on the cheek as she spoke .


    what


    I opened the


    Heat coursed through my heart as I held her lithe body . “ I missed you too , my dear baby ! _ ” Observi


    ng her innocence , I began to me myself for being too ruthless , as I left her


    out in the cold to take revenge on thosebastards .


    With that in mind , I looked at Carlos who was behind Bianca . He was in a casual outfit that looked real


    ly good on him . on him , as he was there with a lot of poise , as well as a bouquet of flowers in his


    hand . Upon realizing that II was looking at him , he approached me with a smile on his face before han


    ding me the flowers while pulling me into an eager hug . _ “ Honey , I missed you . ”


    His gentle words of love sounded nauseating , but I pushed him away as I


    squelched those feelings . ” Bianca is still here .”


    “ There is nothing wrong with me hugging my wife “ . _ Seeing him try


    to hug me again , I dodged as he said he ‘d like to take a nap . Although he stopped in disappointment ,


    he gave a gentle smile as he said :” That reminds me , darling , Bianca has


    prepared a present for you .  “


    Bianca remembered this when he mentioned


    it , so she handed me a drawing . “ Mommy , this is the gift I prepared


    for you ”.


    “I am happy to know that You have


    prepared a gift for me “ . I gave her a kiss before opening that drawing . _ It


    was a children’s work that showed two adults holding a child by the hand as they


    walked across awn with a little grass andan orchard next door .


    “This is you and me , while this is some grass , flowers and so much fruit we won’t be able to


    finish . I  want to live happily ever after with Mom and Dad ” .


    Tears stung my eyes as I listened


    to Bianca ‘s exnation of the drawing she made , while I could barely contain my emotions as I held h


    er in my arms . I thought the gods were still kind to me as I was presented with asuch a lovely


    angel , though she


    was barren . For a split second , I  thought about not taking revenge on Carlos and Joana .


    I thought about talking to Carlos , as I would


    be willing to keep our rtionship in order to give Bianca a warm home where she could grow


    up carefree , as long as he agreed to repent and cut ties with Joana . Sadly , those were mine.wishes .


    As I was on the verge of tears


    with Bianca in my arms , Carlos coughed with a strange expression on his face . “ Honey , I


    have something I need to talk to you about .  ”


    I wiped away my tears before asking , “ What ‘s the matter ? ”


    Does that mean your parents and sister


    have already moved out ? This was not a discussion , but a mere warning after he . _ implemented His


    decision . Also , they did n’t even show up to say hello to


    me despite having moved out . What arrogance !


    “ They ‘re your parents , so it’s normal that you take care of


    them , ” I said quietly while mentally mocking . I was wondering how I should get revenge , and here yo


    u are offering yourselves up on a silver tter . Wait until I runmy n ! _


    “ I knew you would be kind . ” A gentle smile bloomed on his face as he said that . “ There


    is one other thing I would like to tell you ” . There


    was a moment ‘s pause on her part . “ It’s about Joana “ .


    Her name scared me , as I had a feeling that his parents ‘ change was just a prelude to something mor


    e , which turned out to be true . _


    It was then that he said : “ Joana ‘s boyfriend just passed away ” .
