Alexa comforted her friend, it all hurt her, she knew Carla had a bad temper, but anything related to Mauricio brought out her most pitiful side, so she decided not to say anything and let her cry until her pain subsided.
...
Mauricio.
Now everything made sense, no wonder all the changes in her, she had discovered everything about me, my deception had come to light, my worst fear had become a reality.
But how did she find out, since when did she know, she had suffered in silence and I hadn't noticed, it pained me to know that I had hurt the person who loved me the most in this world.
I had fallen into an abyss, an abyss that I had caused myself, I had ended up becoming a victim of my own deception, it never crossed my mind that I could fall in love with Carla, and now I was in this pitiful position, I was losing the woman I loved, and all the efforts I had made for years had gone to waste.
I know that with everything I did, I will end up on the streets, but you know, that's the least of my concerns, I would give every cent I have just to obtain the forgiveness of my beloved Carla, she is a wonderful woman who had dedicated her life to making me happy.
But no, nothing was easy, and what was coming my way would be worse, I had to resolve the matter with Sofia, I had to handle things with utmost care, as the well-being of my son was also at stake.
I didn't want to imagine how the press would destroy me once they found out about my deception, God, if only I hadn't been so ambitious, everything would be different.
When I stopped hearing Carla's crying, I decided to leave, I didn't know where to go, going to my parents' house was not an option, they would attack me with their reproaches, and Sofia would blame me for the way I left her house, the truth was that the last thing I wanted was to listen to them. After thinking it over, I left in search of a hotel. I needed to rest and gather strength to face everything that was coming.
After showering, I went to bed, I needed to sleep, but I couldn't, and on top of that, my phone kept ringing, both Sofia and my parents bombarded me with their calls, so I turned off my phone.
...
Carla talked to her friend for a while, then went up to the room she would be staying in, took a shower, and went to bed.
Her parents would arrive by the weekend, she had to talk to them and tell them what had happened.
The rest of the week, Carla stayed locked in her room, not wanting to see anyone. Alexa tried to cheer her up, but with little success. The weekend arrived, and with it, the arrival of her parents. After breakfast, she headed to her parents' house, where she would wait for them.
Around noon, they arrived and found their daughter waiting for them on the couch in the living room. It was obvious to them that something was wrong with their daughter.
"Princess," Antonio said, as soon as he saw his daughter.
Carla couldn't help but run into her father's arms and burst into tears. She had been suffering alone for two months, two months in which she had kept all her pain inside.
"What's wrong, my darling?" Laura said to her daughter, stroking her head.
"Mauricio cheated on me," she said, crying.
Antonio tensed up. He had heard correctly, Mauricio had dared to hurt his daughter.
Laura and Antonio led their daughter to the couch. They needed Carla to tell them what had happened. But they didn't expect to hear all of that. They thought it was just a simple infidelity, but what Carla told them was terrible.
"I'll kill him," Antonio said.
Antonio stood up and paced back and forth in despair.
"Honey, calm down," Laura told her husband.
Antonio took a deep breath and sat back down next to his daughter.
"What do you plan to do, my dear?" Antonio asked his daughter.
"I've already served him with divorce papers, I want to kick him out if possible, his parents should also pay for the damage they've caused me," Carla said.
"Why his parents?" Antonio asked.
"They knew everything and allowed it," Carla couldn't help but remember her father-in-law's words.
"Mom, I understand your anger, but parents can't always control their child's actions," Laura said.
"No, mother, I heard them say so much how they despised me, how they couldn't stand me, how they blamed Mauricio for not leaving me earlier," she said, tears streaming down her face.
"Those bastards," Antonio whispered.
"They never loved me, they agreed from the beginning with what Mauricio did to me, they are just as despicable as him," Carla concluded.
Antonio and Laura embraced their daughter. It was painful for them to see her like this. They had taken care of her so much, given her all the love in the world, only for someone as despicable as Mauricio to make her suffer. But what more could they expect when they had parents like themselves?
"Who is helping you with the divorce?" Laura asked.
"Doctor Marcos Londoño," Carla answered, calmer now.
"Marcos Londoño, isn't he one of the owners of the M and Associates law firm?" Antonio asked.
"Yes, dad, I met Doctor Castañeda and asked him for help," Carla confessed.
"Well, in that case, I will meet with them tomorrow. I need them to give me all the details," Antonio said, and Carla nodded.
"I think it's best for you to come back home," Laura said.
"I'm staying with Alexa, so don't worry, Mom," Carla told her mother.
"You know this is your home and you can come back whenever you want," Antonio added.
"I know," she replied with a smile.
"You should rest for a while. We will let you know when lunch is ready," Laura suggested to her daughter.
Carla nodded and went up to her old room. She spent the rest of the day with her parents, who pampered her like when she was a child. When nightfall came, she returned to her friend's house, where dinner was waiting for her.
