A/N: I had to cut this chapter in half because it would be like...12000 words or so if I didn't. But the next chapter is the reception party and very promising honeymoon filled with Camren. ;) Enjoy!!

"Karla. Hija, mirame por favor. Perdoname. No sabía cómo decírtelo. Eres demasiado joven para entender este tipo de cosas." (Daughter, look at me please. Forgive me. I didn't know how to tell you. You are too young to understand this sort of thing)
"No entiendo cómo puedes decir que amas a alguien, pero ve a sus espaldas y miente. Mamá, por qué engañarías?" (I don't understand how you can say you love someone, but go behind their back and lie. Mom, why did you cheat)
"Es muy complicado."
"Complicado? Mamá, matemáticas es complicado. Pero amor? Qué tan complicado puede ser traicionar a alguien así? Digame!" (Complicated? Mom, math is complicated. But love? How complicated can it be to betray someone like that? Tell me)
"Escúchame, Karla. Amo a tu papá con todo mi corazón. Pero...marriage isn't easy. We've been together for many years with nothing but love. He was the only one I ever wanted to be with, I was sure of it. But after a while, he changed. He became very jealous, angry, and controlling. He never let me be free and always demanded I follow his orders. Us Estrabao women, we don't like to be controlled and you know that. Sí, he did things for me and made sure I was treated with respect, showed me he loved me, and he remained a good father to you. But I was his slave and still unhappy. And I liked the way other men treated me. I would never leave your father and break up this family but those men are my escape while I'm still young. Do not judge me. One day you might find yourself in this position and understand that marriage is rarely honest and loving like the movies. But you're only ten. You are not old enough to." (Listen to me. I love your dad with all my heart)
"So you want me to just keep this a secret? Act like everything is fine??"
"He doesn't have to know. What he doesn't know won't hurt him. I'm no saint, Karla. I won't pretend to be one. But I love him and I love you more, you are my whole world. I want my family to be together and continue going with the way things are. But if you tell tu papá, we won't be happy or a family anymore. So por favor, hija, keep your mouth shut. Okay?"
