I burst into bitter laughter. Everyone conspired to test the lies above all: my husband, my mother-in-law… everyone. Only I lived blindly, above this nest of infidelity.
That evening, I preceded Rodrigo. He knelt, reading my hands and the consequences:
"Forgive me. I'll break up with her, sell her to apartments. Think about the children, the family. Give me a chance."
A fraud in the eyes of those who trusted throughout their youth, only to discover an abyss of lies. He replied coldly:
"Don't worry. I'll free you. But the equipment will go up. You won't get away with it easily."
My words dealt a decisive blow, shattering the broken marriage at its core. Rodrigo froze with fear; Doña Carmen remained silent. It was never thought that a meek woman, who knew, would be capable of standing up and shattering everything with a single blow.
