Second Chance

Divorced

The brightness of the day peeped through the small opening of the curtains.

Sylvia slept on the king's sized bed, exhausted after yesterday vigorous activity. Her naked body was halfway covered by the quilt showing her white soft skin that was marked with purple bruises. Her blonde shaggy hair hid her swelled face.

The opening of the door woke her up.
She looked at torn clothes on the floor remembering how Carlos tortured her yesterday. She could only cry. She thought Carlos and the old man worked together.

"What would I tell Harry? I'm doomed" She thought silently unaware of the lady who stand watching her with a pity gaze.

The woman was Carlos other assistant.
She thought:
"Miss Chavez has already misunderstood, if only she could know Big Boss did it for her sake"

Then Sylvia realized the woman standing at the doorway. She remembered she was one of Carlos subordinates during the past.

"She must be one of his mistress" Sylvia thought.

"You! Why are you here!"

"Big Boss asked me to get new clothes"

Sylvia felt embarrassed. "She even knew about it"

"Get out" She yelled angrily.

"B-u-t..."

Sylvia stood up in anger but she felt a sharp pain in her nether regions.

"Ouch!" She whimpered as she fell to the ground. She curled into a ball in pain.

"Are you okay?" Anna asked panicking. She knew how important Sylvia was to Carlos. It was just a pity Carlos thinks she loves Harry. If anything happened Sylvia under her watch, she may lose her life.

There was no answer, she only whimpered in pain.

Anna quickly called her boss.

Carlos quickly came in a rush.

"What happened to her?" He asked as his face darkened instantly.

"She told me to leave but I refused  she was about to stand up then she fell"

Carlos sighed and looked helpless. He couldn't judge her because he knew how stubborn Sylvia was.

"Call the doctor!"

"Yes Boss!" she said then left.

She still has grudge against him. He looked at her shivering weak body. Hearing her low whimpers was like a stab in his heart.
His face turned weak, he was the one who caused her pain. Maybe if he hadn't cheated on her in the past nothing would have happen to her.
Guilt eats him slowly.

He wondered what happened to her.
He used force last night because she wasn't still. It was her first time, so it will hurt her.

The female doctor came in.
He called a female doctor, so she could be free with her.

"I'm back Big Boss"

"Check what is wrong, Rhoda"

"Alright"

She sat close to Sylvia and whispered few words.

She looked at Carlos with a sign of excuse. Carlos reluctantly walked out and left the two ladies in the room.

She asked her few questions as a professional and Sylvia was sincere with her answers. Then she checked someplace that Sylvia said that hurt her.

After sometime, she came out from the room.

"What is wrong?"

"Um nothing much but she should stay away from *** for now".

"Okay"

She administered some medicine and left.

Carlos sighed in and entered.

She was well dressed and neat but the purple marks were still obvious to the eyes. Her face turned pale looking at him again and her eyes were swollen and red from crying.

She ignored him and walked away wiping her sad tears.

Carlos face sank seeing her tears. He could tell she might have cried through out the night. And she hated him the most.

He stopped her abruptly.

"What do you want from me? You have took advantage of me, isn't that enough?"

"Let me explain...."

Hitting him on the face with anger, she said:

"What is there to explain? You have finally done you want!" She said bursting into tears.

"I hate you Carlos!" She said in tears as she ran out.

Carlos slumped on the couch and looked for a long time until Bernard his kindergarten friend came in.

He patted him on the shoulder fondly in a friendly way.

"You have to move on, man"

Closing his eyes, he sighed in as he felt guilty again.

"Do you think what I did is right?"

"Yes, Carlos what you did is right maybe she would realize it in the future"

"I hope so" he said.

"Keep an eye on Sylvia"

"Sure! just be careful with Harry"

-------------------------------

Grandpa Robert was furious after being tricked by Carlos. He should have known Carlos was a sly man. Last night he thought he had gotten Sylvia unknown to him, it was another woman prepared by Carlos.
He really lust after Sylvia. He was determined to make her his.

-------------------------------

Sylvia was on her way to the Chavez's Mansion. Entering the gate she could see the servants and maids looking at her with disappointment and disdain.

Curious to know the reason, she walked in meeting Harry's parents and the rest of her family.

Mr. Chavez greeted her with a slap.
Her face turned red instantly. She roughly guessed that they already knew. What a disgrace!

Harry's face was masked with anger.

"How can you disgrace our family?" Mr. Chavez yelled angrily at Sylvia.

"I'm sorry Dad this is..."

Hitting her again that she started to bleed. Mr. Chavez bellowed.

"You're just like your mother! You are now disowned and I must not see you ever again!"

Sonia and her mother could only watch from the side feeling rejoiced at heart. She deserves it!

Harry sat not saying anything. She bent to where Harry was.

"This is not what you think, I'm not having an affair with Carlos..."

"If you are not, then what is this?" He yelled flinging few pictures.

Picking one of them, she looked at it and realized it was a porn picture of the both of them from Carlos.

Then a man came in looking a little formal.

"I hope I'm not late"

"Of course not sir"

"Here are the divorce papers"

He said bringing a stack of papers.
Sylvia realized that he was a lawyer for divorce. It was just a one-day marriage.

Harry signed the papers quickly and it remained Sylvia.
She reluctantly signed too and they were considered divorced.

Harry's men threw Sylvia on the streets with few of her belongings.
