Revenge And Love Against My Mafia Ex-Husband
Chapter 57

-Mia, it's complicated, going back to this hustle and bustle again, I miss the beach, the sea, I'm really thinking of buying an island for myself, I don't know why people from there like to go on holiday here to Bogotá, to this cold land where those conquistadors clumsily founded the city. -the conquistadors founded the city because of its many water sources, most of which are now polluted or channelled, plus the climate that doesn't produce so many dangerous diseases or poisonous bugs, for those times that was the ideal, now, we have better medical science although nothing to cure the temperament of a crazy woman like you, my dear Ximena, anyway it is easier to wrap up warm in a cold climate than to cool off in one of those towns that are branches of hell.

-It's all this, it really makes me want to postpone my career for about fifty semesters.

-ha, ha, ha, my friend, don't be so exaggerated, better look on the bright side, now we have new classmates, at least that boy who is very handsome, he won't stop looking at you, it's strange that I noticed that he bought a bunch of flowers, I hope my suspicions are not true.

I hope my suspicions aren't true. -That one, the one who's coming over here, he's not so handsome either, he pretends we're looking at him, how embarrassing.

-Hello, how are you? My name is Eric, I'm a new exchange student, I was studying in Bolivia and I came to apologise because since I saw you I thought you were the most beautiful woman in the world and I couldn't stop looking at you, look, I'm giving you these roses for a beautiful woman.

-I thought that in Bolivia, there were only indigenous people, - what a racist and xenophobic comment that reckless Mia made.

-No, miss, that's only what's on television, there are also very modern cities, when you want to go, I assure you we'll have a lot of fun.

-What does this mean, what an awkward moment, my husband walks in the door saying this.

-Professor Angelo, it's not what you suppose," Mia, intervenes for me, before the silence that invades me because of my nerves, fortunately I don't receive the roses.

-Professor, I'm only giving a gift to a student, nowhere in the coexistence manual is that forbidden," Eric challenges him without imagining who it is, to which my beloved I see that he opens his mouth to clarify:

-See young man, what happens is that she is my adored one....

I interrupt him by adding:

-Sister, we are brothers, Angelo, please stop your jealousy," I clarify to avoid misunderstandings.

-In that case, Professor Angelo, I congratulate you for having such a beautiful sister, I hope we can be friends and go out somewhere the three of us," Eric is like injecting hot air into Angelo, who is about to explode, so I better hug him and leave, leaving him in the company of Mia, who will surely know how to convince him to leave me alone.

-Come on, my love," I whisper as I take him in my arms, seeing how the vein in his forehead looks like it's going to burst, if that were to happen it would flood the campus, thank goodness it's his mouth that bursts, freeing himself from my embrace, spraying me with words:

-How come we're brothers, do you like that skinny guy, too bad I embarrassed the single lady, my little sister, who then got pregnant by incestuous acts.

-No my life, please calm down, it's just that it's frowned upon for a student to be the teacher's wife, they'll say that I have a better deal and that I don't need to study because I'll pass anyway, even that's forbidden by the coexistence manual.

-It's not fair, in that case I'm going to resign, I won't put up with that whippersnapper harassing you again, I have to do something.

-No love, take things calmly, I don't want you to take it out on everyone who approaches me, you must learn to trust me, I promise you that I will reveal everything in the grade, where instead of throwing the cap in the air, I will give you a big kiss.

-No Ximena, it's not the fact that you'll make me pass as your brother, who knows how many times and with how many, that's inconceivable.

-I'm going to cancel classes, I'm going to cancel classes, I'm going to cancel classes, I'm going to cancel classes, I'm going to cancel classes, I'm going to cancel classes, I'm going to cancel classes.

-I'm going to cancel classes, I'm going to take you to the doctor.

-No love, it's not that bad, I'd better go home to rest, I'm going with the boys, in case I feel sick I promise I'll go to the hospital but why else if that doctor is living with us in the house, besides I need to get some strength, I have an event tonight, we're going to launch another jewellery collection.

-notice that you are using European trends.

-Yes, but be quiet, it's a top secret, I'd better go, bye love.

-Don't drink, I'll take you, remember I'm your protector.

-Yes, you're the main character of my action and romance movie, a handsome hunk so handsome that I don't even believe it.

We left in his car escorted by three vans full of escorts, on the way he talked to me, but I just fell asleep, until I got to the house where I continued sleeping, the effects of the pregnancy.

Before Angelo leaves I get very hungry, it's as if I haven't eaten anything for many years, even though my throat tastes like fritanga, I ask him crying:

-love please, I have so many cravings for fritanga, please, it's horrible, I'm so hungry, but only for that, my mum said that if you don't fulfil your cravings, the baby will come out with its mouth open.

-All right love, she already sent one of the boys to bring it to you.

-Love, please hurry up.

Angelo calls a delivery restaurant, placing a big order while I impatiently start to walk down the aisle full of anguish.

-The head of security says and I go to pick it up, Angelo follows me to prevent me from falling, I receive it and right there I uncover it, tasting it, everything tastes like glory, it's as if everything melts in my mouth, tickling my throat, until a voice says to us: -You are the last diners I served in my restaurant, what a pity I was so rude, since that day things went down the drain, I had to close the restaurant, the clients stopped coming, even the place burned down, it was horrible, I had to pay my employees with the restaurant's furniture, it was like a curse, please excuse me, accept this food as an offering.

-No, don't worry, I'd better give you a tip so you can buy something, Angelo paid you, while I devoured the whole order by myself, that was a mouthful of cardinals.

-Ximena, you didn't even leave me the tassels," Angelo looks at me in amazement.

-I tell Angelo as I get into the car and lick my fingers, "Yummy, now I can happily go to the event, come on love, we are already late," I say to Angelo as I get into the car and lick my fingers.

We arrived at the exhibition, I was very excited, confident that we would do well, that it would be a success as in the past events, I had no idea of the dire situation that awaited us.

Everything was going very well, the show was a success, until one of the models had an epileptic fit, foaming at the mouth and convulsing, I didn't know whether to call a doctor or an exorcist. -What's going on, please call an ambulance," she shouted in fright.

Another model came out screaming, scratching her neck, where she could see red welts:

-It's the jewels, it's the jewels! -she said as the news cameras focused on her.

-It can't be, Angelo, what do I do?

-In situations like this, the only thing we can do is stay calm, please take a deep breath, Ximena, the paramedics are on their way, it's time to send for the wine and the snacks.

A few terrifying minutes passed and the girl got up normally, the doctor examined her and said to her:

-Miss, you are perfectly fine, although we will take you for a CAT scan,

He also checked those who had welts and could not replace an apparent cause.

-This is very strange, I'll have to take them away, too.

-It can't be, I'm out of models," I complain, squeezing my cheeks.

-Easy friend, let's model ourselves and over there is Emily, who is flirting with that cop, -Mia, she appeared like an angel saving the event, she would have served if only a lady arrived I wouldn't have shouted;

-Stop this farce, this jewellery has radioactive material, look I bought it and I also have welts, look at the medical report, here I sue them to pay me every peso I spent on the doctors and every damage they caused me, they are going to endorse me that mine. -Wait madam, you can't expose us like that, we can sue you for that, besides you still have to prove the veracity of your allegation," shouted one of my lawyers from a corner.

-Angelo love, what am I going to do, I'll have to close the company, it's the end, end the family legacy.

-Calm down, love, it's not the end of the world, remember that with me you won't lack anything, you can even give everything you want to your family.

-No, love, it's not because of that, it's because so many people will be left without work, besides, it was the company that my parents forged throughout their lives and the delay was that I took it so that it would end.

-Calm down my love, I assure you that I will move heaven and earth so that this doesn't happen, you won't have to close your company, take for granted that we will manage to solve these problems.

Just when I thought nothing could make things worse, my phone rings, a conference call with the council members.

-Ximena, as always your decisions have caused us losses, the exhibition has been a failure, you have been the worst president so far," the usual monkey attacked me, as I detested him and I had not been able to remove him from the leadership despite my efforts he was still the director, my teeth gnashed when I heard his jarring voice.

-Yes gentlemen, we had problems and I'm trying to solve them, at least I'm here and I'm not shielding myself behind screens, calling just to judge.

-I am trying to solve it, at least I am here and I am not shielding myself behind a few screens, calling just to judge.
