When I came out of the hotel, I breathed a sigh of relief. Just now at the hotel, my hand was always in my pocket, holding that fruit knife. At this moment, the palms of my hands were all sweaty. Fortunately, the deal was made, and Matthew didn’t arrest me to threaten Reynaldo. This time, I would say I “won the bet.” However, just the thought of having to hurt Reynaldo after New Year’s Eve made my heart feel particularly heavy and complicated.

When we returned to the villa, it was already after three in the afternoon. The two children had just woken up from their nap, still feeling groggy. I played with them for a while, then went back to my room to check my phone, waiting to see if Matthew had done as I asked. By evening, there was still no news online. I couldn’t help feeling a little anxious, worrying that Matthew might change his mind.

Winter nights fall quickly, and as darkness approached, my anxiety grew. Just as I was thinking about whether to give Matthew a call, I stumbled upon the news that Kimberly had withdrawn her lawsuit.

"...to withdraw the lawsuit? You and I both know that what Matthew wants is to take you away from me, to make me suffer.”

“So, Esmeralda, tell me honestly, did you agree to any conditions with him?”

In the last sentence, there was a strong sense of urgency and fear in Reynaldo’s voice. My heart twitched involuntarily. I laughed and said, “No, I was just staying at home, how could I have agreed to any conditions with him? Besides, if I had really agreed to go to Roxafito with him, I wouldn’t be at home right now, would I?”

“Are you really at home?” Reynaldo asked, his voice tense.

I laughed and said, “Sure, how about we watch a video together?”

Reynaldo fell silent for a few seconds and said, “I’ll be back soon, you just wait for me at home.”

“Okay.”

I hung up the phone, and my heart became even more complicated. What Reynaldo feared most was “me leaving him.” After New Year’s Eve, I had to follow through on my promise to Matthew and hurt him.

I looked out the window. The wind blew strongly again at night, appearing particularly desolate.
