My countenance changed as I looked towards my bedroom door . _ _ This is my house ! _ How dare th
ey do this to my bed ?
It was evident that Daniel heard the noise too , for there was pity in his eyes as he
looked at me . I never expected Joana and Carlos to be so shameless as to bring their case back home
, I also never expected to bump into themdoing such an act while with an outsider . _
Shame , sickness , and embarrassment swirled and sliced through my being as I rose from where I
was and dragged Daniel out of the house with the gift I bought in my
hands . I staggered down the stairs without fully registering it . All the shit Carlos and _Joana did , I nev
er wanted anyone , especially Daniel , to know , as I
did n’t want someone I rejected to see me living such a mean life .
“ Beautiful … ” Daniel called me while feeling sorry for me .
However , a smile bloomed on my face when I lifted my head . “ Daniel , you may have misunderstood t
hat situation . _ Carlos likes to watch pornography , so he may have forgotten to turn it off . However , it
is a little strange ,to have a stranger overhear this , so I dragged you out . I was n’t sure what expressio
n I was using as I spoke , nor did I care how bad my excuse was , since all I wanted was to hide along
with my _shameful existence .
“ I see , so this is what ‘s going on … ” Daniel gave a sad smile as he
spoke , “ So your husband likes to watch pornography , which might be weird … ”
I knew he did n’t believe a word I said , but he did n’t expose my lie , so I too preferred to deceive myse

didn’t shed a single tear .
The next day , I
returned once more with the gift and the luggage in my hands . Bianca jumped into my arms just like
that at the door . “ Mom , I missed you ! ” She continued kissing me on the cheek as she spoke .

Heat coursed through my heart as I held her lithe body . “ I missed you too , my dear baby ! _ ” Observi
ng her innocence , I began to blame myself for being too ruthless , as I left her
out in the cold to take revenge on thosebastards .
With that in mind , I looked at Carlos who was behind Bianca . He was in a casual outfit that looked real
ly good on him . on him , as he was there with a lot of poise , as well as a bouquet of flowers in his
hand . Upon realizing that II was looking at him , he approached me with a smile on his face before han

His gentle words of love sounded nauseating , but I pushed him away as I
squelched those feelings . ” Bianca is still here .”
“ There is nothing wrong with me hugging my wife “ . _ Seeing him try
to hug me again , I dodged as he said he ‘d like to take a nap . Although he stopped in disappointment ,
he gave a gentle smile as he said :” That reminds me , darling , Bianca has
prepared a present for you . “
Bianca remembered this when he mentioned
it , so she handed me a drawing . “ Mommy , this is the gift I prepared
for you ”.
“I am happy to know that You have
prepared a gift for me “ . I gave her a kiss before opening that drawing . _ It
was a children’s work that showed two adults holding a child by the hand as they
walked across a lawn with a little grass andan orchard next door .
“This is you and me , while this is some grass , flowers and so much fruit we won’t be able to
finish . I want to live happily ever after with Mom and Dad ” .
Tears stung my eyes as I listened
to Bianca ‘s explanation of the drawing she made , while I could barely contain my emotions as I held h Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
er in my arms . I thought the gods were still kind to me as I was presented with asuch a lovely
angel , though she
was barren . For a split second , I thought about not taking revenge on Carlos and Joana .
I thought about talking to Carlos , as I would
be willing to keep our relationship in order to give Bianca a warm home where she could grow
up carefree , as long as he agreed to repent and cut ties with Joana . Sadly , those were mine.wishes .
As I was on the verge of tears
with Bianca in my arms , Carlos coughed with a strange expression on his face . “ Honey , I
have something I need to talk to you about . ”
I wiped away my tears before asking , “ What ‘s the matter ? ”
Does that mean your parents and sister
have already moved out ? This was not a discussion , but a mere warning after he . _ implemented His
decision . Also , they did n’t even show up to say hello to
me despite having moved out . What arrogance !
“ They ‘re your parents , so it’s normal that you take care of
them , ” I said quietly while mentally mocking . I was wondering how I should get revenge , and here yo
u are offering yourselves up on a silver platter . Wait until I runmy plan ! _
“ I knew you would be kind . ” A gentle smile bloomed on his face as he said that . “ There
is one other thing I would like to tell you ” . There
was a moment ‘s pause on her part . “ It’s about Joana “ .
Her name scared me , as I had a feeling that his parents ‘ change was just a prelude to something mor

It was then that he said : “ Joana ‘s boyfriend just passed away ” .
