Chapter 95: Bitterness
So, every time Mariana pretended to see these photos for the first time so that grandma would have
joy.
The two were sitting in the studio, flipping through an album of photos of Leopold as a child, suddenly,
their eyes fell on the last photo in the album.
In the photo, Leopoldo was young and looking at the smiling woman next to him, as if they were in love.
With fingers trembling, trying to repress the various emotions, Mariana spoke in a mute voice:
-Grandma, who is this girl?
Hearing this, Grandma's face, which had been smiling, darkened, and her friendliness faded, a little
unnaturally.
-This is one of Leo's childhood classmates.
The voice was weak, as if he didn't want to mention it.
However, Mariana sensed something in her grandmother's tone:
-Grandma, is your name Diana Solis?
Surprised, the grandmother looked at her with surprise and said unconsciously:
-How do you know it?
It was really her. So the two of them had known each other for a long time?
-Grandma, she...
She was going to ask again, but Grandma had already closed the album.
-Mari, this is all in the past, isn't Leo with you now? You are already a couple, so the most important
thing is to give grandma a great-grandchild.
-Grandma...
-This is my last wish, to see you happy.
The words fell on Mariana's ears with an expectation.
She looked at her grandmother and couldn't help but fall gently into her grandmother's arms:
-We will, Grandma, we will.
The promise she wasn't sure if it was a promise to her grandmother or to herself.
In the room, it was warm and cozy, but the person at the door was terrified, her hands trembling as she
held the tray.
It was Clara.
The grandmother asked her to bring some refreshments, but when she approached the door she heard
the words "Diana Solis", which made her startled.
Clara turned around with her tray and went downstairs, a little disoriented. It was as if she had received
a blow.
It was already late when she left her grandmother's house. Mariana looked silently at the night sky, as if
remembering the last time she was in Zoraida's courtyard with Leopoldo. The memory was so distant
that it seemed like a long time ago.
He saw Clara, whose face was as somber as tonight.
-Are you looking for me?
Mariana didn't think Clara was here to see her off.
-You just talked about someone named Diana Solis, who is she?
Mariana did not understand why she had that question.
-Do you know her?
How could Clara know Diana? According to what the grandmother said, the two families knew each
other, so they must be business partners. The Durán family did not have frequent dealings with
ordinary families.
-How can I know her? If you don't want to tell me, then nothing, why test me with your words?
After a pause, Clara looked at Mariana, with a slightly unpleasant face and a very impulsive tone. With
just one question, she had made Clara feel unhappy with her.
-Since there is nothing else, I will go back first.... Mom, take care of yourself.
After saying that, Mariana turned and left.
Clara was stunned for a moment and, looking at Mariana, her heart could not avoid a sad feeling, but
then she thought of something, and went back to the house.
In bed, Mariana closed her eyes thinking about what Grandma and Lionel had said.
The information was that, indeed, this woman, Diana Solis, was extraordinary for Leopoldo, a very
important person in his life.
As he thought about it, his head grew increasingly numb.
Mariana was awakened by the weight of her body and opened her eyes to the darkness in front of her,
obviously it was not yet dawn.
The man on top of her was moving and, just like the night before, the smell of alcohol surrounded her.
Mariana pushed against the man and screamed:
-Leopoldo, Leopoldo, wake up!
But there was no response.
-Leopoldo! It's Mariana! Wake up!
The next moment, the pushing hands were clamped with one of the man's hands, and she could not
move.
The man's movements became more violent. She couldn't understand how it had happened like this,
and remembered what her grandmother had told her today about Diana.
But although there was a slight resistance in his mind, his body sincerely longed for it.
It was a charming room.
The next day, Mariana woke up and Leopoldo was gone. The pain in his body was a clear indication of
what had happened the night before. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Finally, he got up, cleaned up and went to the set.
Just as she arrived on the set, she saw Xavier walking toward her.
-Is the great designer Ortiz coming to work?
