The Betrayer and her lover

Salome Pov

Tonight events kept replaying in my head as I drove to my best friend’s which wasn’t really far from my side, I didn’t want to call to let her know I was coming because I know she will freak out on the phone.

I message Carlos a couple of times, still trying to apologies, I really hate it when we both fight, which rarely happens, I feel tonight was just a mere misunderstanding. I am more than willing to look over what he said and just let us move on, I always grateful to him and I do want him to know that I love and appreciate him, so I sent so may love emoji to him, maybe he will see it as cute and forgive me.

When I got to Laura’s house, I recognized a car that looked exactly like the one I bought for Carlos. I know Carlos and Laura weren’t close, they were like cat and dog anytime they were in the same room together.

I quickly took off my seat belts and went to examine the car, it was exactly the same one I bought for Carlos. Something was off here and I am not liking this feeling one bit.

I chose to go inside rather than walking away, I was about knocking when I heard giggling noises from the window which was left open. I peeped through it and what I saw had my heart torn into pieces.

“Why is Laura sitting on my husband’s lap?” I asked myself, I know I couldn’t get a response until I ask them myself but I chose not to but continue peeping to see what might happen next.

“So you left her hanging? That is so cruel of you” Laura playfully flicked her finger on his forehead. I know they were talking about me, it was obvious, I can’t believe what I am actually seeing with my eyes.

“Trust me, she deserves it. I mean what was she even expecting from me? After everything that I have done for her.” Carlos lamented, I was starting to feel like I never really know my husband, the more I listened to him.

“I get you my love. I also told her that you might not like it but she just won’t listen, she has all those sexual fantasies of you and she wants you to fulfill them” Laura said laughing, she didn’t in any way feel remorse spilling all the things I told her about Carlos and he just listened and laughed when it was funny.

I really feel so stupid to the point that I want to cry but I held it.

“I don’t exactly hate surprises. I didn’t hate the surprise blowjob you gave me at the house the other day” He said with a smirk as he smacked her ass.

I held my chest as I am now realizing that all of this happened under my nose and I let it happen, when did I become so blind?

The tears I tried so hard to hold started pouring out freely, to a point that it refuses to stop, my hands were starting to shake as I thought of those times they argued and I will try and be the middle man.

I will always tell Carlos to go apologies to Laura at the pantry which was were she stayed to cool off, I didn’t know that I was the one who brought this two together all this while.

“She looked like an elephant in that night wear, seriously” Carlos said and they laughed again. “The time she told me she was going to the gym, I was happy and even supported her but then she only went for a week”

“it was three days dear, she said she couldn’t handle the pressure” Laura corrected as Carlos threw his hand in surrender. “Serious talk now, I know you don’t love her and it is me you love, when are you going to divorce her cause I a tired of playing mistress and pretending to be her best friend” Laura said relaxing her body on Carlos.

“Very soon, I am trying to convince her to hand over the position of presidency to me, and you know how she does anything for me. Let me get her to do that first, when I have secured my position, I will create a scandal and make her look bad in public one that will cause her to lose face in society” Carlos said as Laura praises his plotting skills.

The more he spoke, the more I hated myself for being naive.

“What else will you do, baby?” Laura asked when Carlos pauses to drink water.

“After the scandal, I will ask for a divorce, get half her property including the ones she inherited and still remain the president. Then….” he kisses Laura neck.

“Then what?” she asks.

“I will marry you, then you and my mother will have everything that you wish for” He said smiling.

Mother? Is Carlos delusional? He doesn’t have any family, he told me that himself.

Laura hugs him as she says, “I am sure madam Rosario will finally be happy, your mother have really been working for her for a very long time, she deserves the rest”

This was the height of it, nothing in the world looked real to me any more. How is possible that the woman I grew up knowing for a long time, offered her a job when she got fired from my father’s house six years ago. When she even met Carlos, they acted like strangers, so how the hell is it possible that my mother-in-law has been living in my house the entire time and I never got to figure it.

Was I so dense? How is it that I got fooled by not one, not two but three people of whom I trusted with my dear heart.

Now I am starting understand why Carlos didn’t order her around like I did and would always offer to help around the house. I always thought he as being a gentleman, I just didn’t know he was actually feeling pity for his mother.

God! Where have I gone wrong? I only wanted to please people, fall in love and have a friend by my side but all of them just happen to have a hate for me.

I cried my eyes out watching Carlos lift Laura to her room, only they know what happened next as I took my peace and went home not causing a scene.

Starting tomorrow, I am going to play along to their games and dance to their tunes. If my property is what Carlos is looking for so easily then he will have to work for it.

No one makes a fool out of me and walks out scot-free.
