Aria traveled up the stairs of the beautiful small home in the suburb area, knocking on the door softly once she reached it.
she heard soft footsteps from the inside, the door squeaking softly as it slowly opened.
"Ari. so nice to see you hermosa." Camila smiled. "come in."
"it's so nice of you to invite me Ms. Springer." Aria spoke, taking her shoes off and closing the door behind her.
"anytime. and how many times i have to tell you? call me Camila." she smiled. "let's go sit at the table, i made us some margaritas."
they sat down at the table opposite of each other. Camila took a sip of hers. "so how's your clothing brand doing?"
Aria cleared her throat. "pretty good actually. they actually consider it designer which is huge to me. i'm really enjoying what i do."
"yes yes i love that for you. so you know Constance is-."
she cleared her throat once again after taking the sip from the drink. "he's in town, yea i know..."
Camila frowned. "you don't sound excited."
"it's not that i don't want him here, i know you guys missed him but why does everyone keep coming to me about it?" Aria asked.
"well because everyone knows how much you care for my son. and he may not be the most smartest person in the world but after what he did to you, you still tried your hardest to support him." Camila explained.
"you know your mom wanted me to talk to him... she said he's lost."
Camila huffed. "that new lifestyle is getting in his head and i don't like it. it kills me that my son is not acting like himself. you're the only one i feel like would knock some since into him."
the oven dinged and Camila hurriedly got up. "i forgot i cooked some empanadas. stay here sweetheart."
Aria nodded, pulling out her phone as Camila tended to the food. as she scrolled through instagram, she heard the door unlocking.
she looked up to see Camila already looking at her.
"mierda sorry Ari but i thought he was gone for the night." Camila said.
"who did you think was gone for tonight-."
"MA IM BACK."
that voice...
instantly made her feel nauseous.
she began panicking, her breathing increasing as she heard footsteps coming from the living room. Camila took notice, running over to Aria and began rubbing her shoulders soothingly.
"im so sorry hermosa, i didn't think he'd come back. calm down sweetie it's just him.."
just him...
the man who hurt her.
the man who ruined her self-esteem.
