Chapter 8

         THE CONFRONTATION

Betrayal is something that breaks trust. How can Mary still trust Adolfo? He had hurt her terribly by his affair with Hailen, and that is a deep wound in her heart! These two people she trusted the most had betrayed her and it felt like a dagger in her heart, and it hurt a lot! 

After looking at Adolfo, she held out her hand and asked him to get up and sit down, this meant a lot to Adolfo who felt that the door to forgiveness was beginning to open. 

The commissioner had to continue his investigation in order to collect the most additional informations to close the trafficker's file and bring her before the judicial authorities. 

For that, he had to question Mary who has been Hailen's friend for several years, he was trying to find out if, (for the purpose of investigation), Mary was not involved in one way or another. 

He asked her, in a very professional way, questions and after an hour, the comissioner realized that Mary was ignorant of the actions of her ex-friend. 

Adolfo's turn to answer the commissioner's questions, the result was the same. Hailen had hidden her delinquent side well, she had left no trace. Nothing, then nothing could attract their attention and leave room for any suspicion. 

Mary was so angry with Hailen, not only for the affair she had with her husband, but also because she had hidden her true identity from her and had done so for several years, and that was something that put her grumbling. 

"Commissioner, I have two words to say to Hailen, can I see there?" 

Mary asked. 

A little surprised, the commissioner, after a moment of hesitation, consented, and asked an officer to lead Mary into a room and to bring 

"The woman with many faces",

 That was  how the commissioner and his collaborators , had nicknamed Hailen. Adolfo did not want his wife to be alone with the gangster, he asked the commissioner to allow him to enter as well, which the latter consented to. 

Once seated in the room, waiting for Hailen to be brought in, Mary felt shivers, which did not escape Adolfo who naturally grabbed her hand at the same moment, two policemen entered with Hailen, who saw this scene and froze a instant. 

"So, surprise?" 

Said Mary. 

"I came to see the greatest delicante of the century! You hid your game well! I trusted you, I entrusted you with my daughter, I took you for my sister, not even as a friend, but you had several lives , the woman with many faces!"

Hailen remained without reaction, she listened, when she saw Adolfo take Mary's hand, their rights together, it was like an electric shock! 

She wanted to get up to grab Mary, but received a punch in the face, which made her sit suddenly on the chair and held by four big arms. It was Adolfo who had given him that blow! He had wanted to give it to her for a long time. 

Adolfo got up and took Mary in his arms and asked the police to open the door to let them out. 

Hailen, had just realized that her lover had never really loved her, for her, in her heart, he was the love of her life! Before her arrest, she was trying to find a way to kill Mary and take her place with Adolfo, unfortunately, she could not complete her project, she was arrested! And now they came to see her at the police station hand in hand, that was a dagger in her heart because Adolfo never loved her and it's worse than being shot in his body.
