Love and Deceit

The fact that Gustavo [actually Santo who's pretending to be him ...more like a stand-in husband] had even placed a call through to her right now, was super overwhelming and as a matter of fact mind-blowing.

Even more mind-blowing was the realization that she had tried countless times over the past couple of days to reach him on phone, all to no avail. Or was it the fact that she had also just dialled his private line once more before she had stepped outside to the balcony? With either occurrences, Belinda had certainly not in her wildest dream anticipated that he would call her right after some minutes later of her call attempt getting voicemailed.

Still, she was elated from knowing that her husband had finally decided to call her.

'He actually cares about me after all'

She let her words saunter into Gustavo's ears at the other side of the call.
