I felt like a giant was picking me up , and that giant didn’t look friendly . Will he kick me out ?
“ Stop immediately , Gustavo ! ” Henriques stopped his adjutant in time .
Thanks to Henriques , his assistant threw me aside before helping his boss to his feet . _ _ I almost fell
again , but Isabel , who was furious with the way I was treated , caught me . _ _ “ You ca n’t treat a lady
how rude ” _
The man helped Henriques to his feet , ignoring his disquiet . _ “ All right , Young Master Henriques ? ”
Although Henriques cringed and sweated in pain , he still managed to
pull himself together and maintain his manners , as he had a good upbringing . “ Are you okay ? ”
His voice was pleasant to
the ears and , for some reason , I felt like crying after that , “ I’m sorry , ” I apologized , but my voice st
arted to break , and I cried .
I could n’t see it , but for a moment , Henriques saw me as more than a business partner . _ “ Take this
lady for a checkup , ” he told his bodyguard . _ _ _ _

“ What ‘s wrong with you ? _ _ ” I roared . When he was about to grab me , I pushed
him away before staggering away .
“ Wait for me , Linda ! ” Isabel screamed , but I didn’t stop running until I left the hospital and got in
the car .
After closing the door , I buried my face in my hands as I
sobbed my heart out . Once the floodgates were raised , I could n’t stop crying . _ _ _ Now I understan
d why so many people see crying as an outlet _ _. Looking at my state , Isabel patted my shoulder . _ _
_ _ “ Let it all out , Linda . Just let the pain go and you ‘ll feel better .
Isabel knew me better as we had
been friends for years . She knew I was n’t one to cry unless the pain was unimaginable , just like what
I was going through . _ _ _
Eventually , my pain flowed along with my tears , leaving nothing but hate inside me . _ I hated myself

He could have revealed me if he
didn’t already love me . We could have ended it amicably since I was n’t his type of person . _ _ _ But h
e did n’t . _ Instead , he chose to betray , have an illegitimate child , and _on top of that
he openly invited his mistress to live in our house . Not content with that , he hurt me physically . For th

Before I could finish my thought , the scoundrel in question called me . _ “ Bad news , Linda ! ”
