THE DIVORCE

Arabella hung up the call and lay back on the bed, waiting for the papers her friend was about to send her. She didn't write to her husband that night. And, as expected, Fernando didn't return home. He only sent her a message:

"Mariana is in the hospital."

First thing in the morning, with the divorce folder in hand and determination, Arabella headed to the clinic where Mariana was admitted.

Before entering, she stopped in front of the half-open door and watched them in silence.

Fernando was peeling an apple with care, cutting it into small pieces that he then brought to Mariana's mouth with tenderness. It was an intimate scene.

A knot tightened in her throat. It had been a long time since Fernando had shown such gestures to her. Ever since his family found out Arabella couldn't have children, distance became routine. They treated her like a stranger, as if she wasn't enough. Her mother-in-law never missed an opportunity to remind her, with words full of judgment, that a

    A FIRM DECISIONA few days had passed, and the calendar marked a special date for the couple: their fifth anniversary. Arabella smiled with nostalgia as she recalled past celebrations. Fernando, on the other hand, had completely forgotten. Instead, he had some suitcases packed."Arabella , Mariana isn't feeling well, she's quite depressed, so to cheer her up, I've decided to take her to the beach for a few days. They say depression during pregnancy is harmful for the baby's development," Fernando said with brazenness."That's fine, Fernando," she replied calmly, with an indifference that disarmed him. Something about her attitude unsettled him, but he still approached, took her face in his hands, and tried to kiss her passionately."Thank you for being so understanding, my love. You're the best wife and future mother in the world. Always remember I'm doing this for the baby's well-being," he said, convinced by his own words.Arabella barely smiled at the corners of her lips."It's i

    A DEVASTATING DECISIONFernando came back home as if nothing had happened, but when he looked at the main wall of the living room, he noticed that his imposing portrait was no longer there. He frowned."Where is the painting?"He took a few steps and found Arabella sitting on one of the sofas. She had a bandage on her head and her face was marked with bruises.He ran to her, alarmed, and knelt by her side, unable to hide his bewilderment."Arabella , my love... what happened to you?"He scanned her with his gaze, looking for more signs of damage.Arabella stared at him, without blinking."I want a divorce, Fernando," she said calmly, but with an irrefutable tone.He jumped to his feet, vehemently denying it."Divorce? Of course not, Arabella . My love, what are you talking about? Whatever happened, we can fix it. Don't ask me for this... not now.""Fernando, I've already made a decision," she replied, firm."No, my love... Arabella , please, be reasonable. This isn't the time. Not a

    ACCIDENTWhat happened at the auction was the decline of everything for Arabella . At home, she looked around and began to question whether all those years had really been worth it, including whether it had been worth running away with him, leaving even her family behind.Frustrated, she suddenly got up from the bed and began pacing back and forth in the room. The situation was getting out of hand. There was an agreement with Fernando, but he seemed to be ignoring it completely.Was her husband in a relationship with his secretary, hiding behind the pregnancy to justify it? The thought sank in deep, and desperation overwhelmed her.That morning, she made a decision. She got dressed as always, with that discreet elegance that characterized her, and went to the living room. She stood motionless in front of the large painting hanging on the wall. Seeing it there, so present, hurt her more than ever. Her husband was no longer the same, and that painting felt like a hanging lie in the midd

    ARE HIS WORDS TRUE?Arabella was in her art studio when, looking out the window, she was surprised to see a moving truck parked at the villa next to her house. Intrigued, she went outside just as Fernando arrived in his car, following the truck.Mariana got out of the passenger seat with a suitcase in her hand. Arabella couldn't hold back and ran toward them."Fernando, what is all this?" she asked, pointing to Mariana's belongings being unloaded."My love, how are you?" he replied, giving her a quick kiss on the lips. "I've brought Mariana to live in the villa they're renting. The doctor told us it's a high-risk pregnancy, and it's important that we can keep an eye on the baby at all times.""But you should have consulted with me first. We're supposed to both make the decisions about our future child," Arabella snapped, her tone full of reproach, noticing that the relationship between her husband and his secretary wasn't as distant as he had claimed.At that moment, Mariana appear
