Chapter 126


    I was on the verge of


    tears , but I held her hand away . “ I am not your friend or rtive , so mind your own business ! Even if


    my marriage is a mess , I can keep it as long as I want ! Your concern for her


    is appreciated, but no thanks ! _ ”


    “ Really ? ” Henriques mocked . “ Do you want to keep this marriage ? Would


    you rather live in indignity to protect your image ?


    “ So what ? What does my choice have to do with you ? I freaked


    out . “ Don’t act arrogant and do n’t make fun of someone who is down on their


    luck . You may beughing today , but I swear I ‘ll have thestugh .”


    My tears started to fall , but I did n’t want a stranger to see


    it , least of all Henriques . So I pushed him away and mmed the door before crying on


    the couch from the humiliation I felt . I have never felt so insulted before in mylife . A


    long timeter , someone knocked on the door . Thinking it was Henriques , I shouted : “ Out ! ”


    “ W –


    What ‘s wrong , honey ? _ _ a familiar voice asked . _ When I looked back , what greeted me was a sh


    ocked Carlos in the  doorway .


    My humiliation and pain was caused by this scoundrel . If it were n’t for his betrayal , he


    would n’t have been humiliated by Henriques . My overwhelming hatred supported me as I got

    up , so I began physically abusing him . “ It’s all guilt . your !You embarrassed me ! This is all because o


    f you ! I hate you ! ” I screamed .


    Carlos was shocked to see me so livid , as I had never been so angry before . However , he did


    not deviate from mine . blows and opted to take it from the front . My rage finally exploded when I


    punched , kicked and even scratched his face.. Carlos red at me , but when the pain from my scratc


    hes was too


    much to bear , he hugged me . “ I’m sorry , honey . It’s all my fault , ” he apologized profusely .


    Exhausted from spanking him , I stopped to catch my breath .


    Carlos helped me to sit on


    the sofa , still holding me in fear that I would abuse him again . The room was silent except for the soun


    d of my pants . I did n’t care anymore . Now that I had been abused by him , I would


    confrontthis scoundrel . I ca n’t take this anymore ! However , Carlos did n’t seem to  be angry at my ou


    tburst towards him . _


    “ I came here as


    soon as Mom called , but it was toote . Mom is an idiot ! How could she have talked about the deal wi


    th Henriques ? I know why you are angry . _ Ribeiro must have humiliated you , and it’s the faultall min


    e . If I were more powerful , none of this would have happened . I


    swear he will pay for what he did today .”


    Henriques humiliated me


    , yes , but not because of the business ; it was because of Charles ‘ infidelity . Even


    though I do n’t know what came into Carlos ‘ head to reach that conclusion for my rant , that was a goo


    d excuse . he thought thathis case was perfectly hidden , but little


    did he  know , Henriques knew that , whereas I had known for a


    long time , Since that was the case , there was no need to confront him until my n was carried out .


    After thinking it over , I pretended to cry . “ Ribeiro went too


    far ! You have no idea what he told me ! _ And –


    I have never felt so humiliated in all my life ! _ He ‘s a scoundrel ! ”


    “ I know honey . He is nothing but scum . ” He patted my back . _ _ _ “ Calm down , dear . Think of


    the baby .
