Inexperienced Outsider

Carmen masked her humiliation with a cold smile. “So, you’re that jobless for you to be digging into my past, huh? Well, let me tell you something, Elena. Whatever happened between Romero and me is none of your business. And it doesn’t change the fact that he’s my husband, not yours,” she countered back, trying to keep her composure.

Elena’s smirk widened. “Oh, I’m sure it was easy to wrap him around your finger. After all, a man in his condition would be grateful for any attention, wouldn’t he?”

Carmen’s hands curled at her sides, her patience wearing thin. “Romero chose me because he saw something in me that you never will. So, whatever you have in mind, know this; you’re wasting your time.”

Elena glowered, but she quickly masked it with a sugary smile. “Enjoy it while it lasts, Carmen. Men like Romero don’t stay loyal to someone beneath their status for long. Sooner or later, he’ll realize that he deserves someone better suited for his world,” she shot back.
