Chapter 339 - You don't know who I am! - four meters
Veronica
"Wait there! Get those thoughts out of your head, Luisa. One of them being upset might be interesting, but the fact that Miguel, Simon, Roland, and Arnold are all upset is not normal. I just witnessed Arnold complaining to Lupe, telling her not to advise Shirly to look for a husband. Forgive me, but our husbands don't do anything without a reason. This is not normal," I said, looking at the detective. We did it for a moment.
"You think..." I looked at Diana who spoke.
"Let's not say anything until we're sure. But those great intelligence gurus lost their minds today, for some reason they didn't think... What's the interest in Shirly not having a husband?"
"Could it be... possible..." I looked back at Luisa.
"My husband is an expert at making people believe someone is dead." The two covered their mouths.
"We need to talk about this without involving Shirly in the meeting and Ines," said Diana. "It's just a matter of connecting the dots, this isn't done."
"If they did that, for God's sake, I'll cut Roland's services for half a year! It's not fair for him to play with us like that, do they think they're God's messengers?"
"So my Beast isn't interested in my friend," Diana sighed and smiled. "But I'm going to punish him with the news I was going to give him, right after I came out of the bathroom and he interrupted me."
"They are everything but unfaithful," I said, noticing Diana's expression. "You're pale," I smiled.
"I'm pregnant and with this baby, I'm closing the shop." My sister-in-law also relaxed her expression.
"They think we're idiots. We need to stay angry, so they feel the need to tell us. Each of us knows how to tighten the screws in our marriage," I smiled. "Let's see how long Roland can go without sex."
"Let's go in, don't say anything. Each of us knows how to get information out of these men," I looked at them. "This time, they'll be the ones begging us. If Anibal is alive and we go every month to pray where the ashes are... If they're not Churrusco's, whose are they?"
"We definitely need to cut our fiery husbands' services, using the excuse that we're jealous," I laughed.
"We need to talk to Lupe, they had a big fight and she adores her blondie," I said. "You know, I've rarely heard Guadalupe speak Mexican, she almost always speaks English. It sounded nice."
......
Anibal
How I wish my body would respond as quickly as my mind does. Everyone says I need to be patient, that I'm doing very well for having reacted a little over three months ago. But the longer it takes, the more my wife might replace me! I can't present myself to her like this. I still drool and they have to clean my butt. I won't be a burden to my wife.
"Anaaaa!"
That was another thing, in my head I speak perfectly, I reason correctly, I jump, leap, run, and it's very frustrating to move slowly, to speak and have the damn vowels get stuck! I thank every day, but today I discovered that my wife has a guy who isn't indifferent to her. No, my dear, I won't allow another man to penetrate you. You are mine!
"Sir, you must..."
"Nooo!" I took a deep breath. "Help me, I want to see." I breathed again, calming myself. "The birthday."
"He's doing it." The nurse helped me sit in the wheelchair, and I went straight to the control room. My brothers were all at my son's birthday. "I'll bring your lunch."
All my movements are slow and that frustrates me. I always smile at life, but now... today was an unusual day because my wife is contemplating the idea of cheating on me, if I allow it! I understand her, she thinks I'm dead. But I'm very much alive. Even if it takes forever, I'll find out who the hell this "Cristian" is.
"Don't make those faces, are you arguing with yourself?" I didn't answer Ana.
I turned on the cameras and the big TV, my friends' wives were all smiling and setting up the house. Everything was looking beautiful. From my computer, I started searching.
Employees of the university where my dear worked, employee database, resume of the so-called handsome guy. I put the photo in front of me to memorize the face of this jerk, even if he's not a thug, he's messing with what's mine.
Ana brought me the food and looked at the photo, she started feeding me. Finally, they're giving me meat and chicken because at first, Rino had me pooping soft! She wiped my mouth, and this is why I don't want Shirly to see me yet, I don't want to be a burden.
"With all due respect, sir, that man seems homosexual to me, and he's very handsome." I looked at Ana, a woman I have a lot of affection for.
"More handsome than me?" I saw her smile.
"You're a big, beautiful, chocolate model." I laughed and drooled more, I don't think about it to avoid getting depressed.
"Is he a fag?"
"I said he looks like one, not that he is."
My wife doesn't like prissy men, she likes real men. Ana was a lady, and the elderly are always right. After eating my plate of food and taking a hundred medications, I started to dig into the life of that nuisance. What I found made me laugh.
The party started, my kid was all smiles and laughter. Like a fool, I caressed the screen where my son was. I haven't held him, kissed him, or hugged him.
"God, please make my limbs move as fast as my mind, though I shouldn't ask for anything considering all you've given me already. But while I recover, keep suitors away from my husband."
Everything was perfect until I saw that Cristian guy. Jealousy flared up. From what I found out, the guy plays both sides, and no one knows. He always shows off his girlfriend, but he likes going to gay bars.
People who don't respect their sexual orientation drive me crazy. Whoever is gay should be proudly so, and the same for bisexuals. It doesn't make them good or bad people.
But they shouldn't hide. Even though what I found was unrelated to the current situation, the guy likes my wife, and that's why he's a nuisance. He won't deceive my wife. If he wants to win her over, he should tell the truth, period.
I saw him greet everyone, and it was evident none of my friends welcomed him warmly. They greeted him, showing their displeasure with the guy. Those are my friends! Hours passed, and that bunch of kids ran back and forth, having a great time.
Cristian kept following Shirly everywhere. When they went into the kitchen, he cornered her... Oh, you son of a bitch! You don't know who you're messing with. My wife pulled away before that idiot could spit on her.
You shouldn't have. I took a deep breath, and from my computer, using one of my untraceable accounts, I sent him a photo of himself kissing and touching another guy's dick. His face changed when he saw the photo. I took another deep breath, I speak better when calm. I dialed his number.
"Hello?"
"Right now, you leave and stay away from Shirly." I spoke more clearly. "Or I'll spread this all over the internet."
"Who are you?"
"A fucking demon if you don't listen to me."
"Don't think..."
"One..." I sent him another, more compromising photo. He saw it. "Two..." another photo.
"I'm leaving."
I hung up. Within seconds, the prissy guy was getting into his car and taking off. I smiled. My friends were watching the cameras, each from a different position. I saw them all activate the audio. I did the same; it was installed for me a month ago.
"What did you do, bastard?" Arnold smiled.
"A ghost appeared to him," I replied.
"You spoke more clearly!" Rino exclaimed.
"You'll see it here." I didn't know what was happening, but I was speaking very clearly.
"I figured you wouldn't just sit idly by," Gustavo said.
"Bastard, I'm in big trouble because of you," Simón said.
"You're not the only one. Every time my wife sees me, she looks like she's possessed," Daniel informed.
"I'm with you on that. In fact, Carlina said she's going to introduce me to every man she wants," Kevin commented.
"Patricia said the same, as did my sisters-in-law and my mother-in-law."
"I'm in the same boat as you guys. I messed up big time, but you're awesome, Aníbal," Miguel interjected.
"No, I'm the greatest." Everyone burst into laughter, then struggled to hide it.
"Guys," Roland stepped away, and I saw Mrs. Verónica watching him. "All our wives are mad for the same reason. Let's cross our fingers they don't talk among themselves. Verónica has an innate instinct and my sister the experience."
"What do you mean?" Freddy, who was holding Ezequiel, asked.
"If they get together to talk, they'll figure out why we're all upset about Shirly having a boyfriend... it won't take long for them to get to the truth. They're our wives," Roland said. "They're going to punish us."
"Everyone will have to spend some time remembering their teenage years."
We all burst into laughter again. And that drew the women's attention once more. I definitely need to put in the effort to get better. Otherwise, my brothers will go through abstinence. Because women sure love punishing us that way.
I started looking for Shirly and couldn't find her. I activated the camera in the bedroom, the only one with an access code that only I have. When I saw her, she was crying, reading the letter I wrote her once again. She still loves me... that heart still belongs to this chest, it's still mine.
