Episode 7

...Valentina...

It's been 7 days since I last saw Mr. Tito and asked him for information on my fiance.

I can't pretend to be brave because I know he'll uncover the truth and I'm scared it will hurt... I've never been a woman of deep emotions, yet Fabian brought joy to my life from the start, maybe because he's a joker or likes to go out and spontaneously do something unexpected.

I'm one for planning everything; each step in my life is carefully strategized—a good boyfriend, a job I enjoy, brands in my name, a place of my own, because yes, I consider my beautiful apartment, home.

Some people say "home" means a house, dogs, husband, kids, etc. But for me, a home can be made by one person alone.

Fabian has never been to my apartment; I've never invited him, especially not now. If I wanted sex, I'd go to his place, but to be honest, I didn't ask for it much. He doesn't even make me tingle, well, maybe because of his size. During foreplay, it's good, but when it comes to the main act, he just doesn't fill the auditorium and it's frustrating. That's one of the reasons I wasn't too excited about getting married, or maybe it was a mix of things, who knows?

-Knock knock- It pulls me out of my thoughts.

-Come in-

Olivia- Friend, the moment of truth has arrived. The investigator is outside.

Valentina- Tell him to come in.

It seems funny to see my dear friend acting as a secretary, but mine had issues with her mother and we weren't going to turn our back on her. So, since Olivia offered to be closer, I took advantage haha

Tito- Miss, a pleasure to see you again. -He said entering with Oli (She didn't want to miss the gossip)

Valentina- The pleasure is mine, Sir. I want you to know that no matter the information today, I have another job for you.

Tito- Of course, I will be at your service.

Valentina- Well then, tell me what you've found.

Tito- Here you go- He hands me a red folder- I took the liberty of investigating your fiance's entire life. In there, you'll find evidence supporting what I'll say. He was a troublesome kid in his teens, always messing around with various women, classmates, girlfriends of his friends, friends' mothers, and even with teachers—not because he slept with them, but because he'd steal kisses and try to corner them.

His parents were average workers and they died in an accident when he was 20 years old. Since then, he's been sleeping with older women to support himself.

He met you at a gala and did everything to catch your attention, as we know, he succeeded and you started a relationship.

I regret to inform you that he's always cheated on you, since day one, and maybe you didn't notice because it wasn't in public view, but it was always at his apartment.

Through interviews with neighbors, the doorman, and security camera footage, I was able to see how many women have come in during this past three years. Let me tell you, there are many if you're interested in reading their names, they are on the last page. And before I forget, that man has had a steady mistress for two years. It is Susan Wilson, the...

Olivia- The fiancee of Danilo?- She exclaimed in surprise.

Tito- That very one, miss. The last thing I have to tell you is that you are married, I couldn't get to the information of with whom or when, but by your face, I see that you already knew. -He said seeing me composed.

Olivia- Friend, now more than ever you need to ask for that information.

Valentina- As promised, here you go- I handed him the check- Regarding my husband, that's your next job, I found out hours before calling you that I was married and I already know to whom, but I asked them to conceal that part, I didn't want the man to get into trouble with his fiancee... Mr. Tito, my husband is Danilo Miller, Miss Susan's fiance. -I watched his surprised look- I would like you to investigate how we ended up married on November 9, 2017. Also, look into what happened after that, because I woke up completely alone. And finally, I'd like to know if Mr. Miller is aware of it.

Tito- well... -He scratched his head, visibly nervous- I... shouldn't say this, but... I suppose that man knows nothing.

Olivia- Why do you assume? Because of his engagement?

Tito- That too, miss, but really, the outstanding job I had was finding something that could separate Mr. Miller from Miss Wilson.

Olivia- Who asked you for that? -She asked curiously.

Tito- Mr. Danilo himself... He couldn't find any more excuses to call it all off.

Olivia- This is thrilling- She squealed joyously.

Valentina- I suppose he just discovered that his wife is the mistress of my fiance.

Tito- Yes, miss.

Valentina- Good, I'll add half a million more if you bring the information in a few days.

Tito- Don't worry, I'll have what you need in three days.

Valentina- Thank you... -We shook hands and he left.

Olivia- What will you do with the information?

Valentina- What else? Read it and use it as evidence so that man doesn't think I'm crazy. I’ll take what Tito brings me, the marriage certificate, and the divorce papers.

Olivia- If I were you, I'd try to win him over.

Valentina- Don't be foolish, I haven't even left Fabian.

Olivia- What are you waiting for? Write a message and send him packing.

Valentina- No, not by message. It will be in person. Just do a little favor for me... Here, take this to your friends and have them broadcast it to the whole world. -I handed her the folder Tito brought me-

Olivia- Are you exposing his infidelities?

Valentina- His entire life. Make sure it becomes worldwide gossip, and by the way, inform them about the cancellation of the engagement.

Olivia- This will ruin him.

Valentina- I know, he deserves it for using me to gain fame.

Olivia- It might affect your husband as well.

Valentina- I doubt it, and if it does, he'll handle it.

Olivia- I’m proud of your vengeful spirit -She said, giving me a hug.

Valentina- That's my lawyer talking -I laughed.

Olivia- haha, I'll defend you- She left laughing.

I assure you, she is jumping for joy...

And if you wonder, aren't you upset about all the infidelity?

-No, deep down I suspected it, it just pained me not to have been more cautious, allowing him to use my name to get noticed. But, that happens to us all.
