Chapter 69


    “ Is it Joan ? Isabel guessed . _ “ I mean , in addition to the two of you , she can also walk around


    the house . She used to take care of


    you .


    “ Joan ? ” Isabel ‘s reminder was the final piece of the puzzle .  _ _


    All in


    all . Besides Carlos and me , that bitch had ess to everything in the house . When I had a miscarria


    ge , she had an affair with Carlos on the pretext of taking care of me . _ _ After I recovered , I gave her


    _the key to our house for her to take Bianca with , since I had to work .


    Suddenly , I remembered what Vitória told me about Joana having suspiciously entered my room . _ _


    _ _ _ _ There was nothing of value in my room for her , so she came


    in just to make that exchange ? “ If it’s really her ,so she ‘s really mean . I treated her like a friend and h


    elped her in her time of need , but she reciprocated by taking my husband away and harming


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    me ? It would be hell for me if I became infertile . Being a woman herself _, how can she do this to


    me ?


    “ Do n’t forget , she stayed with Carlos even though you helped her when she needed it . _ I wouldn’t le


    t that pass her by .


    “ Isabel , if it’s exactly like you said she was the one who did it , then Carlos knew about it ? ”


    ” I


    ca n’t say for sure , but judging by what you said , I don’t think so ,” replied Isabel . “ I think this is part o


    f Joana ‘s plot . She must have gone through minute details in her n to rece him . _ Youhave to s


    how her . _ who’s in


    charge , Linda . Destroy it , but do it with style . _ _ Preferably Style ‘ Smokin Sexy ‘


    “ Actually , I hate Carlos more than I hate her . _ This


    would n’t have happened if Carlos had n’t fallen in love with her . If he had n’t cheated on


    me , she wouldn’t even have had the chance to ruin our marriage . It’s his fault .”


    “ I understand what you say , Linda . _ But


    have you ever thought about why this marriage ended up so messed up ? Isabel suddenly asked me a


    question .  _


    “ I ask myself that every day since I found out he cheated on me . I may be imperfect , but I


    yed my part as a wife perfectly . There should n’t be a reason for him to cheat on me .


    “ There is no . Not that I’m justifying it , but I ‘ve thought about it . Do n’t you think it


    ‘s strange that , even after Carlos saw much better women than Joana , he never cheated on  you with


    ns ?


    Ο


    “ What are you trying to say ? ” I asked .


    “ I


    think all this confusion is due to your infertility . He is a very conservative man . Yes , he might say he d


    oesn’t want kids , but I know he wants one so badly . That must be why he stayed with Joana , becaus


    e _ _of a baby .”


    “ Just for


    this ? ” I counter – attacked .
