Chapter 125

Dolores got on her feet, astonished by what Mimi just said.

"What the hell are you saying, Mimi?"

Mimi got on her feet too.

"It is the truth, mum. I saw them both. I also saw her told, and I asked her if she was sleeping with him. She didn't deny it."

Dolores let out a breath as her heart tightened severely.

"They are lovers, mum. Uncle Adrian and Evelyn are lovers, and we have no idea about it," Mimi said, as Dolores moved and turned away, feeling her hands sweaty.

"I was as surprised as the way you are right now," Mimi said.

Dolores placed her hand on her chest as she felt tears coming.

"This is the reason why I have been acting indifferent since my party. I literally saw them with my own eyes, mum. I couldn't believe it."

Dolores let out breaths as she recalled Alfredo's words.

"He will never give you a chance, Dolores. Not now or ever. He is falling for someone none of us could have ever imagined,"

Dolores let out a breathless scoff as her heart tightened.

"I don't even want to think about how Mario would feel or what he would do if he found out about this,"  Mimi said.

Dolores suppressed the tears approaching her eyes.

"He is going to be furious, mum. What should I do? I can't tell him, right?" Mimi asked.

Dolores comported herself as she turned to Mimi.

"You are not going to tell him. Let's keep it to ourselves," Dolores said.

"I know, right?" Mimi asked.

Dolores nodded. "This could ruin his relationship with his father. We can't let that happen. We can't tell anyone."

Mimi nodded.

"Just get some sleep and come down for dinner later. I need to get something from my room," Dolores said, kissing Mimi's temples before heading out of Mimi's room.

Mimi let out a sigh as she sat on her bed.

Outside her room, Dolores walked along the hallway as tears rolled out of her eyes.

She reached to wipe it off, but she bumped into someone.

Irina.

"Hey!" Irina said, looking at Dolores, who had just walked past after muttering, sorry.

Irina scoffed, staring at Dolores as she headed towards her room.

"Bitch," Irina said, walking towards her room. She dressed in a short expensive blue dress, milk-colored fur coat and black heels.

Dolores walked into her room and closed the door behind her. She rested on it as Mimi's information replayed in her head again.

"Uncle Adrian is cheating on aunt Candela with Evelyn, mum. I saw them kissing."

Dolores let out a sob. She covered her mouth as she took pitiful steps towards the windows.

More tears rolled out of her eyes as she thought about Adrian. She let out sob after sob, feeling her heart aching.

"He is falling for someone none of us could have ever imagined. He will never give you a chance. Not now or ever."

A slightly loud sob escaped Dolores' lips as Alfredo's words sang in her head.

She ran her fingers through her hair, feeling terrible.

She can't believe this is happening.

Evelyn?

Really?

Your son's love interest?

Are you joking, Adrian? She asked internally as she sobbed bitterly.

This is unbelievable.

She didn't mind Blanca. Their father picked Blanca for Adrian at first. Dolores only had a crush on Adrian the first day he came to their home.

But he was betrothed to Blanca. And Blanca was a very good and loving sister.

Dolores just felt a crush which she thought would die off sooner or later.

Then he showed her kindness after her ex-husband maltreated her and Mimi.

Her crush grew into something deeper.

Something special.

Then Blanca died. He had to marry that mean Candela.

That really hurt Dolores. She wished and prayed that someway and somehow, Candela would be out of the way, and she would have a lovely chance with the love of her life.

She was excited that Candela was beginning to mess up with Dante and Adrian would find out soon and kick Candela out.

And then maybe...... He would marry her (Dolores)

She feels Candela is almost out of the way!

But what is this I hear?

What is going on?

What do you mean, Evelyn?!

She is half your age, Adrian!

Hell, she is your son's age!

Your son's heart desires.

What is wrong with you?!

Dolores picked up the statue on her nightstand and smashed it on the wall.

"Ugh!" She groaned, sobbing painfully as she sat on the floor.

"Why can't he look my way?" She asked, running her fingers through her hair as more tears flowed.

"Why can't you look my way, Adrian? I have loved you for two decades now. What is so wrong about me that you can't even look at me?"

She sobbed, resting her head on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

"I really love you. I have been living under your roof for years now, and you have never looked my way." She said as her heart tightened the more.

"She just came in a few months ago, and you are already into her." She said, weakening her heart with her own words.

"Why are you doing this to me, Adrian? Why? Is it because she is young and beautiful?" Dolores said, scoffing bitterly.

"I thought Candela was the only one in the way. It was actually that little girl. A little girl, Adrian. Tell me this is a joke, please. She could be your daughter," she said, sobbing painfully.

She shook her head, got on her feet and walked towards the mirror.

She stared at herself in the mirror, feeling pathetic and worthless.

"Look at you, Dolores," she said.

"So pitiful. When will you buckle up?" She asked, staring at herself.

"He is never going to give you a chance. Not now, not ever." Alfredo word repeated in her head.

"That's enough, Dolores. It is time to take what you want. No more being timid and pathetic," she said, wiping her tears.

"You are Dolores Altamira. You are beautiful. You are elegant. You are desirable. You can get anything you want, and you will get what you want." She said, looking at herself boldly in the mirror.

"You want Adrian. Go get him."

NIGHT HOURS.....

MARIO'S ROOM.....

Dressed in her maid's uniform as always, Liliana knocked slightly on the door before grabbing the door knob and opening the door. She walked into the room with her cleaning equipment and was about to close the door when someone pushed it open and she walked in.

"Hey," Liliana said as she looked at the person.

It was Camilla.

Also dressed in her maids' uniform.

Liliana heaved a sigh as Camilla closed the door behind her.

"What are you doing here?" Liliana asked.

Camilla scoffed, walking further into the empty room and sat on the edge of the bed.

"I thought the lady ordered that you never come in here. What is your problem?" Liliana asked as she looked at Camilla.

Camilla smirked. "You really think that instruction would stop me from coming into my man's room?"

Liliana raised her brows and scoffed.

"Your man?"

"Yes, my man," Camilla said.

Liliana stared at her.

"And this is the bed where we fucked so hard almost every night," Camilla said, making Liliana's heart clench in an unusual way.

Her heart did the same thing that party night when she saw Mario and Evelyn together.

She has no idea what is wrong with her.

Camilla smirked as she moved her hands seductively on the bed.

"He would fuck me into oblivion, sweetie. You can never relate how good and special he made me feel," Camilla said.

"Listen, Camilla, I don't care about what you are saying. Just leave so I can do my job," Liliana said, making Camilla chuckle.

"Yeah, right. You don't care?" Camilla asked.

Liliana stared at her.

"I just saw the look on your face when I told you about him fucking me almost every night," Camilla said, getting on her feet.

She took steps towards Liliana, making Liliana's eyes twitch a bit.

"You want him too, don't you?" Camilla asked.

"Get out of this room, Camilla, before I tell the lady." Liliana threatened.

Camilla scoffed as she moved closer to Liliana, placing their noses just an inch away from each other.

Liliana's heart pounded as she stared at Camilla.

"You wanna be a snitch?" Camilla asked.

Liliana didn't respond.

"Go on. Be my guest. But no matter how many times you tell the lady, it won't stop what Mario and I have," Camilla said proudly.

Liliana's heart reacted again, making her look away.

Camilla chuckled. "Have fun cleaning, Lily. And hurry. Mario and I have to fuck tonight," she said, walking past Liliana.

"Bitch," Liliana muttered, stopping Camilla on her track.

Liliana picked up her mop as Camilla walked back to her.

"What did you just call me?" Camilla asked.

Liliana didn't respond.

"You little...." Camilla raised her hand to hit Liliana, making Liliana shield herself with her hand, but someone held Camilla's hand, making her whimper.

Liliana opened her eyes slowly only to find Mario holding Camilla's hand and scowling at her.

"Mario....."

"Are you insane, Camilla?" He snapped, pushing her hand away, and she almost fell.

Liliana stared at him as he glared at Camilla. She realized he had walked out of the bathroom, dressed in his navy blue short-sleeved shirt which had all the buttons open and black shorts.

He is still glaring at Camilla.

"How dare you try hitting your fellow maid? Have you lost it?" Mario asked.

Camilla stared at him in disbelief.

"She.....she called me a....."

"I have myself to blame for your proud stupidity but listen to me very carefully, dirty bitch," Mario went on.

Camilla let out a scoff of disbelief as she stared at him.

Liliana couldn't believe her ears either.

"This should be the last time you step your slutty feet into my room again," he snarled.

Camilla's face twitched.

"If I find you here again, I will make you regret ever being born. Do you fucking hear me?" he asked.

Camilla let out a breathless scoff.

"This shit between you and me is over. Get that into your whore brain. I will not spell it out for you again. Now get the hell out!" he ordered.

"You.....you can't be serious, Mario." She stuttered.

"Call me by my name again, and you will lose your tongue," he snarled.

Camilla let out a breath. She can't believe this is happening.

"Get the fuck out!" he yelled, making Camilla and Liliana flinch.

"But...."

"Out!"

Camilla's heart clenched as she threw Liliana a glare.

Liliana waved at her slightly.

Camilla's blood boiled as she moved her gaze to Mario.

He is glaring at her.

She walked out of his room and closed the door behind her.

"Fucking tramp," Mario said, turning to Liliana.

She is facing her work.

"And you," he said, making her look at him.

"Sir?"

"Hurry up and leave," he snarled, walking back to the bathroom.

"Yes, sir," she said, smiling a bit. She looked at the door.

"Serve you right, loose obsessed witch." She muttered, moving further into the room.

Time went by and she was almost done. She is currently cleaning the floors with a mop.

She hummed as she cleaned.

She moved backwards as she cleaned where she stood. She continued moving backward till she bumped into someone.

"What the....." Mario voice made her jump as she turned around in a fast way, making the stick of the mop grab his towel along and Mario's bareness was exposed to Liliana's unexpected eyes.

She gasped, looking away instantly as her heart raced and pounded at the same time.

"I am so, so sorry, sir. I am terribly sorry. I didn't see a thing I promise!" She said all at once, still looking away as her cheek heated up. She closed her eyes and opened, feeling extremely embarrassed.

"Look at me," he ordered.

She furrowed her brows.

"Look. At. Me."

Oh God.
