Chapter 2: Everything Is Canceled

1271 Words
Camila’s POV I never experienced betrayal, I always grew up under the ideology that love unites, that family supports and does not abandon. When my mother left, my sister and I decided to stay with my father. He was not a bad man, but we understood that the love between them had ended. The great Wellington took care of his work and neglected his wife, that's what they said. My mother fell in love with a man who was a family friend, she was the one who left home, that's why my sister and I joined together and wanted to stay with my father. I couldn't bear to see him suffer, he cried because of what was happening, he valued her company in her absence. Every time we had a family moment, my father would tell us that we had to stick together, that we only had each other; that you're just two little sisters, you have each other.  Clarisa and I were close, despite arguing about wearing each other’s clothes, I loved her, valued her, supported her, defended her, she was my life until today. "What the hell?! Clarisa!" I had to witness something that would stay in my head for the rest of my days, something that I find repugnant, disgusting. The most terrible thing I could see. My sister naked in my matrimonial bed, being f****d by my fiancé. I don't know if I can erase something like that, I captured every detail, the way he held her by the hips while penetrating her. Her face of desire, which changed when she heard my voice. "s**t! What are you doing here?" My vision blurred, the words were stuck by the knot in my throat, I was in a strong state of shock. My brain couldn't accept what I was seeing, my body didn't react. They moved away, my sister grabbed a blanket and tried to cover herself, while he started picking up the clothes from the floor. "It's not what you think, I can explain. Darling, wait in the living room, I'll explain what's going on." My trembling hands and my thick and warm tears running down my cheeks were all I could feel. "They're f*****g bastards," were the words that came out of my mouth. I took several steps back, bumping into the walls. I felt them with my hands to find a way out, it was as if I had gotten lost in a few square meters. "Wait, darling, wait." I turned around and walked down the hallway, each time my brain processed it, I walked faster. I let go of the bag of petals I was still holding in my hands and ran, I ran as fast as I could, wanting to get out of that terrible place. No matter how fast I was, it felt like my legs were not keeping up with the pace I wanted, I wanted to die, I wanted to disappear. Upon leaving, I got into my car and rested my head on the steering wheel. I let out the most powerful cry I had ever experienced, it came from the depths of my soul. "Camila, wait, darling!" Jonathan came out, buttoning up his shirt, trying to approach me, so I hurried to start my car and get away. Don't believe it, for a moment I wanted to run him over; I had the desire and anger, but it wasn't worth spending the rest of my days in jail for something that isn't worth it. I changed my direction and started the car, I accelerated because I didn't want to be caught, I didn't want to see him again in my life. I wiped my eyes to clear my vision, to be able to get home. I honked at the gate to be opened. "Hurry up, open it already!" I heard the gates sound and open, I entered, my heart racing at a thousand beats per minute. "What's wrong, my child?" My nanny came out to receive me, but I was so affected that I couldn't speak. "My goodness, did something happen to you?" She looked at my hands, checking my body. "Where is my father?" "In the office, I'll take you to him." The rest of the family was asleep, I was grateful that no one except my nanny was at home witnessing the most terrible scene of my life. "Come, my child." The woman opened the door for me, my father startled at seeing me and rushed to hold me. "Camila, my love, what's wrong?" No matter how much the words wanted to come out, I couldn't. I couldn't speak, my emotions prevented me from doing so. "Did you argue with Johnny?" I nodded to what he said. "Oh, darling. Calm down, it's normal to feel anxious, both of you must be very stressed. Breathe, have some tea, and when you're calm, call him. Tomorrow is your wedding; you can't ruin your plans because of a silly argument." "No... There's no wedding, cancel that f*****g wedding!" "My love, don't be like this. Do you want your nanny to talk to him?" I shook my head, trying to release what was stuck in my chest. "I don't want to see him, that son of a b***h was fooling around with..." I put my hands on my father's shoulders and let myself fall onto him, I needed strength to say it. "I found Jonathan with Clarisa, dad. He was with my own sister, in my matrimonial bed." My father looks away and says nothing. The office door opens and my frightened sister appears. "Father, I..." "Clarisa, go to your room, I'll handle this." She turns around and leaves, my father takes my hands and doesn't look me in the eyes. "I thought that was in the past." "What are you talking about?" "Mrs. Jacinta, leave me alone with my daughter." "What's going on? Why didn't you tell Clarisa anything? Dad... did you, did you know?" "This is my fault, I should have acted differently. It's just that... this is very tough for me. A few months ago, I found out, it was unintentional, I learned about the affair they had, but she cried in my arms, full of regret, she's my daughter. "Clarisa is also my daughter, I didn't want you two to get angry with each other because I know how delicate it is, I was in a tough situation. "That's why I asked you if you really loved Jonathan and if you wanted to marry him, you told me you were in love and happy with him, I didn't want to ruin those feelings with something so terrible. That's why I rushed things, I wanted you to marry him and keep your distance from each other." I fell into the chair, I could only listen to him. "For me, it was torture to gather all together at the same table, I felt so sorry for you, but they told me it was just a one-night thing, that they got carried away; that it was a mistake. I believed it and wanted to make amends because she's also my daughter, I can't hate Clarisa, nor you, I didn't want you two to hurt each other, you are my life. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Camila." "I can't forgive this, you all deceived me! I hate you! I hate you for mocking me!" I shouted with all my strength, that scream full of resentment came out with tears on board. I stood up and headed for the exit. "Darling, my love, where are you going?" "I'm leaving this damn house."
