After giving everything to Carlos Holland, Morana Hartley received betrayal in return, committed by Carlos along with Laura Perry, who was once Carlos's girlfriend. Morana also faced ridicule for not being able to bear children for Carlos. Morana couldn't accept everything easily, especially after finding out that Carlos's family was responsible for killing her father. Morana accidentally met Valdés Theodorv, who used to be Carlos's rival. Valdés offered a condition to marry and bear children for him. Morana agreed to whatever Valdés wanted as long as she could destroy the life of Carlos Holland and his affair.
Chapter 1 ONE
On a sunny day that had entered spring. A pair of bright brown eyes closed on the sheet of paper before her; Mora had just finished her meeting. She had been on a business trip in Canada for almost a week. She couldn't wait to return to New York and see her beloved husband, Carlos Holland.
"Mrs. Mora, would you like some coffee?" asked Kinsley, Mora's secretary.
"No, Kinsley. I have to stop consuming caffeine from now on; Carlos and I are planning to have a child this year."
"Congratulations then, Mrs. Mora; hopefully, you and Mr. Carlos will be blessed with a child soon."
Mora felt happy surrounded by good people who always prayed for her and her husband's relationship. However, there were also not a few who sneered at Mora's marriage, who had not been blessed with a child even though she had been married for almost four years. These things do not make Mora feel sad because she always gets loving support from Carlos.
"Why hasn't Carlos given a wedding anniversary greeting? Did he forget today's special date?" Mora kept glancing at her cell phone. There was no single message from her husband, Carlos; there was only last night's message, and there was no message this morning.
Mora didn't want to think badly either. She knew that Carlos was also busy. After all, Mora will fly early today to celebrate her wedding anniversary with Carlos. Mora glanced at the clock on her wrist; she had to get ready to leave immediately using a private plane. The trip was short; it only took a few hours.
She didn't go straight back to the mansion. Mora decided to go to her husband's office, bringing Carlos's favourite cheesecake. She couldn't wait to see Carlos's surprised reaction, which would not be expected with his return today. After arriving in front of the Holland Compration building, Mora took out a few bills for the taxi.
She took a quick step, smiled kindly at anyone who passed by, stepped into the executive elevator,r and hit the 40th floor, the CEO's room, which was her husband's position. Mora took out a cheesecake inside the elevator and placed a candle on it. Once in front of the CEO's room, Mora asked Grace, her husband's secretary, to keep quiet because she wanted to surprise Carlos.
The door opened slightly as Mora almost touched the doorknob to surprise her husband. She heard female and male voices talking inside; Mora thought Carlos was talking to a business partner. But when her footsteps wanted to turn around.
"When are you going to divorce Morana, Carlos! I'm sick of our relationship being hidden all this time."
"Wait a minute Laura, I still need Mora by my side. I'm going to divorce her, after I'm done stealing her idea."
"Don't you love me?"
"Of course i love you Laura, always love you."
Mora covered her mouth, trying to peek through the doorway. With both eyes, she saw the woman with the dark red mane sitting on Carlos' desk and kissing her husband's lips. Mora recognized the woman very well.
Mora was speechless. Her eyes stung, and tears rolled down her cheeks. Mora felt a tightness that hit her heart; the two people who were kissing in front of her eyes were still unaware of Mora's existence.
Her whole body trembled, and her throat felt choked. She was too shocked by the surprise Carlos gave her. Mora clenched her fists, her eyes glittering with anger when she realized who the woman.
"What do you mean! How dare you cheat on me all this time behind my back? " she shouted, picking up the fallen piece of cheesecake and throwing it at Carlos and Laura.
"Mora," Carlos called out, trying to stop Mora's hand from hitting Laura's face.
"Disgusting." Mora hissed, looking at Carlos with glassy eyes. It was disgusting to see her husband and Laura, who was Carlos's ex-girlfriend.
"You Carlos!" She yelled in front of her husband's face, who was covering Laura's body.
"And you!" Mora yelled back, pointing at Laura's face, who smirked at her.
"Mora, stop it! You're an embarrassment, stay calm," Carlos snapped for the first time at Mora. Carlos did not accept the chaos created by Mora's arrival.
"You're saying I'm an embarrassment? It's you, Carlos! You broke my trust; you both deserve to burn in hell!" Anger was still peeking into Mora's mind, and she was increasingly unhappy that Carlos seemed to be defending Laura and blaming her instead.
"Mora! Listen to me! Laura is innocent; we love each other.
"Oh my God! Love?" Mora turned her face away; she wanted to hit Carlos's face even more after seeing Laura crying. Even though Mora didn't do anything, who was hurt here? Why is it Laura who looks so hurt?
"No. I believe Carlos. You cheated on her all this time, and you said you loved her. Since when have you guys been together? You've been together for so long and then fall in love behind my back!" Mora snapped, looking her husband in the eye. Mora had always trusted Carlos, and their marriage had always been harmonious.
"I'm sorry, Mora. I got together with Laura because she was pregnant, and you couldn't give me any offspring anyway."
"Oh! No wonder you defended her so desperately. It turns out she's already pregnant; you blame me for not being able to give you offspring! You are crazy!" she tried desperately to hold back the tightness in her heart. Again and again, her hands wiped away the rough tears unworthy of her tears. Carlos didn't even deserve to be called a dream husband.
"Go away, Mora. I no longer love you; I've decided to divorce you," Carlos said without a smile and then turned his face away. Carlos could not look Mora in the eye; he had hurt her feelings deeply, and there was no other way to maintain their marriage.
