Marco found no trace of the woman in his house and was grateful for that; he didn't hurt women, but the unfortunate woman had invaded his privacy, and there was a risk that Laura could have been exposed. He had images of her in the shower, and he would lose focus and end up really hurting someone if it had happened.
The morning was a disaster without her around, and knowing that his wife was angry and scared of him made it even worse.
The moment Pedro's car passed through the gate, Marco dropped what he was doing and handed his horse to a ranch hand.
When Laura entered, he dragged her to the office.
Laura stared at him without saying a word.
Marco took off his shirt and threw it on the sofa.
"Come sit on the rug with me, we need to talk."
Laura was upset, but she loved her husband.
