Chapter 2

               DIVORCE 

 She was certainly a very busy woman, but her husband and her daughter Déby were the people she loved the most in the world. Only daughter of a powerful businessman, who had built the "Élit" empire, never had time for her family, always between two planes, compensated for her absence with gifts. Mary had sworn to herself never to make the same mistake. 

     This is how, after her father was forced into retirement by a cancer that had been gnawing at him for several years, she ended up taking the helm of the empire in place of her father who had prepared her to succeed him well. After her studies, she had become a very close assistant to her father. 

She had married the son of her father's best friend, Adolfo Domingue, a very famous industrialist, but a womanizer whom Mary believed, with all her devotion, into a loving wife and a good mother, was going to change him. 

Adolfo had hidden his game well for five years, but today, by going to get a file that she had forgotten. 

At her best friend's house an hour earlier, Hailen had been her friend since childhood, and this morning she texted her saying she was a little sick. This is the reason that brought her to see her friend before going to her office. The urgent call from her right-hand man was the reason for her hasty departure from Hailen's, forgetting the file with which she was to have a meeting with her closest collaborators. it was halfway that she realized her oversight and urged her driver to return to Hailen's to pick him up. 

To her great surprise, when her vehicle parks, she notices one of her husband's cars, and really does not understand the reason for its presence. When she enters, she hears moans that leave no doubt about what is happening in the room and is surprised to recognize the same moans as those of her husband during their intimacy. 

The bedroom door was ajar and she was not surprised to find that her husband was with her best friend in a position that left no ambiguity in what was on her eyes. 

She could not restrain a cry which stopped the two lovers in their antics and saw her in front of the door. 

     She didn't say a word and retrieved the file from the bedside where her husband and her friend were and came out. 

Once in the car, without showing her shock, she ordered her driver to start the car. During the whole journey, she had the impression that it was a dream and that she was going to wake up. 

She had to arm herself with a lot of courage to hold her meeting well and not let anything disturb her work. 

     She had made the decision never to mix her work and her family problems. It was after this meeting that she went to the restaurant L'Ethic. 

    She can forgive her husband everything except this betrayal, and what's more with her best friend, a person who is practically like a member of her family. Henry played the one who is really touched and who is very available to support her and accompany her to help her. 

Mary decided that she would not spend the night in her house, she called the lady who takes care of her daughter to prepare her and bring her to the house by the sea, since it is the weekend, she will spend it in this quiet place and think about what to do with this betrayal. 

After two sleepless nights, she made the decision to ask for a divorce, but she needed irrefutable proof to overwhelm Adolfo Domingue. 

    Now that her confidante has betrayed her by stabbing her in the heart like this, the only person she can call on is Henry. The latter hastened to offer him the services of a detective to follow the culprits and obtain compromising photos to have it published in the press.
