Chapter 113 Anger And Envy

• Paulina moved towards the free door, but Simon hurried to block her way and hold her by the shoulders.
• "Please, just listen to me. Let me explain how everything happened," he pleaded, surprising Perez by adding, "If you never want to speak to me again or look at me after this, I swear I'll comply with your request."
• Feeling her throat burn and her eyes tear up, Paulina wiped her eyes with the back of her fingers and nodded, unable to speak. Deep down, she wished she could forget everything and go back to Simon, but what would happen after this breach of trust? What if she continued to fantasize about a nonexistent love, as she had done with Nathaniel? She had been doing it just minutes before, searching for a justification to be with Simon. After all, she had also found evidence of Simon's love for Iolanda and had soon discovered it was all a figment of her imagination. Now she was doing it for her own benefit.
