No matter how many years pass and how much pleasure Carla gives me, she has never managed to awaken in me anything more than just that, pleasure. I hope Sofia never finds out, as that would be a problem. She would never forgive me. Plus, I have led her to believe that I have never touched Carla.
Today was just like any other day, attending to some clients and going to court. At the end of the day, I left the office with a beautiful bouquet of flowers that I had asked my assistant to buy. I was dying to see my son and the love of my life.
When I arrived, they greeted me with joy, as always. After having dinner as a family, I played with my champion until he fell asleep. That was my favorite part, being able to be with them. But unfortunately, I had to face reality again.
I had been so busy that I had forgotten that today was my anniversary with Carla. Luckily, Sofia reminded me, so I hurried home. On the way, I bought another bouquet of flowers, but when I arrived, everything was dark. I thought maybe she was waiting for me in the bedroom in some sexy lingerie, but she wasn't there either.
I waited for her for hours, but she never showed up. It seemed strange to me, because every year she would prepare a delicious dinner and then dress up for me. But today wasn't like that.
It was midnight when I received a message. She told me that she had run into Alexa and would be spending the night with her. I decided not to make a big deal out of it and went to bed.
...
Carla couldn't sleep all night. Her eyes were swollen and red from crying so much. Her friend got up early and made her a delicious breakfast to cheer her up.
"You look terrible," Alexa said as she entered the room with a tray in her hands.
"I know," Carla responded, sitting on the bed.
The two of them settled on the bed and started eating breakfast.
"What are you planning to do?" Alexa asked.
Carla sighed as she took a bite of fruit.
"I still don't know. It's been five years of marriage plus three years of dating. It's hard to just end something like this," she replied.
"I understand, but remember that none of this is your fault. You gave your best," Alexa consoled her.
"But what if it is my fault? I haven't given him children in five years of marriage. Maybe that's why he's looking for someone else," Carla said, crying.
"Stop, Carla. You're not sounding like yourself. You've given him the best years of your life. You've been a dedicated wife, even giving up your career, which was what you loved the most, for him. How can you say something like that?" Alexa was indignant at her friend's way of thinking.
"Maybe it wasn't enough."
"I can't believe what I'm hearing. What happened to my friend, the one who defended women, the one who said we should never let ourselves be humiliated by any man, no matter how in love we are? Your brain has definitely been changed," Alexa got up from the bed and paced back and forth.
"Alexa, I love Mauricio. I don't want to lose him," Carla's crying was heart-wrenching.
Alexa approached her and hugged her. It hurt to see her friend like this. She knew more than anyone how much Carla loved Mauricio.
"You haven't lost anyone. It's him who has lost a wonderful person. No one will love him the way you have loved him. You're strong, you can overcome anything. It will be difficult, but you're not alone," Carla felt fortunate to have Alexa by her side again.
...
I spent the rest of the morning with Alexa. She told me what she had been doing for the past five years. She was still single, but available for any man who wanted to try her. Since we were teenagers, she never liked serious relationships, but that didn't stop her from falling in love several times. Now she was a professional woman, sure of what she wanted for her future.
To be honest, I envied her at this moment. She had successfully pursued her career, lived life to its fullest, without attachment to anything or anyone.
Meanwhile, I am here not knowing what to do with my marriage. I know what Mauricio has done is unforgivable, but my love for him is strong.
As I was saying, after spending the morning with Alexa, I decided to go back home. As expected, he wasn't there, so I went up to the room and took a long shower. Tonight, I would talk to him and confront him. I needed to hear from his own mouth what had happened, I needed him to be honest.
The rest of the day, I did what I normally did. I prepared dinner and waited for him, but once again, he arrived late. It was difficult not to think that maybe he had been seeing that woman and the child, but I had to stay calm.
"Hi, love, you have no idea how much I missed you," he said as soon as he walked into the house and saw me.
I said absolutely nothing. I loved him.
"How was your day? How is Alexa? I love you, love," he said, and then he kissed me.
In that moment, I forgot everything. His hands roamed every inch of my body, every touch made me shiver. His name escaped from my mouth amid moans. We made love over and over again until we fell asleep. We didn't even taste the dinner I had prepared, and worse yet, we didn't even talk.
Around two in the morning, his phone rang. He quickly got up to answer it. I thought maybe it was an emergency from a client, but it wasn't.
"Hello, darling, what's going on? Are you and the child okay?" he said, sounding very worried in a low voice.
It was her, it was that woman, the mother of his child.
"I'll be right there," he said.
I didn't know what she had told him, but he seemed very worried. I pretended to still be asleep. He quickly got dressed, then he approached and kissed my forehead.
Once I heard the door close, I couldn't help but cry. Now I understood his late night outings, and here I was, thinking it was work-related matters, but no.
That woman had that power over him. Whenever she wanted, he would run to see her. What was I in his life, if she and that child were his family? What place did I occupy?
