Chapter 94
Enrica was completely battled. “Yes, I hired Lawrence as my lawyer, but he’s just a professional doing his job. Ms. Zucker, you can’t blame me every time something goes wrong with your family. This has nothing to do with me.
She then turned to leave, but Rohana grabbed her arm. Her voice shook with desperation. “Entica, I’m begging you post this once please help Miguel. I’ll agree to
any condition you name.”
Ennica frowned and looked her dead in the eye. “This has nothing to do with conditions. What you’re asking me to do has nothing to do with me. I can’t help you.”
So you don’t want to help is that it?” Rohana snapped, eyes narrowing
Enrica was losing her patience. Just as she was about to respond, her phone rang it was Miguel. She didn’t want to answer–but with Rohana standing there like gam on her shoe, she took a deep breath and picked up
“Enrica, what are you doing his voice came through.
She troze for a second. His voice was so gentle that it felt like something from another lifetime.
Back when things were good between them, he used to talk to her like this. When their marriage began to fall apart, so did the warmth in his voice. The last time she heard this tone, it had been directed at Shella
And now, after what Rohana had just said, it all clicked. Miguel needed something from her. So, now he was trying to play the charm card with her.
But the flicker of emotion in her heart passed in seconds. Her voice returned to being cool and steady. “Mr. Zucker, if it’s convenient for you, you should probably
come pick up your sister.
“I’m not sure why she’s clinging to me, trying to get me to agree to something that’s impossible. I don’t appreciate being cornered like this.”
There was a beat of silence. Then he asked, “Rohana came to find you?”
Enrica replied with a hum.
After a pause, be said, “Where are you? I’ll come now.‘
She gave him the location and hang up.
When she looked back up, Rohana was already standing with her arms crossed, sneering. “Wow. I really thought you were so high and mighty, but one word from Miguel, and you’re jumping to meet him? Don’t tell me this whole thing was just so you could see him again.”
Enrica had nothing to say to that. She realized she didn’t have even an ounce of energy left to waste on someone like Rohana.
Back when she was married to Miguel, she’d been so wrapped up in love, so eager to give and give, she’d never stopped to think. Now that she was finally out of it, she could look back and see just how blind she’d been,
It didn’t take long before Miguel showed up. Rohana pouted and greeted him. “Miggy…”
He didn’t even look at her “Go home,” he said flatly.
She blinked, confused and stung. “MigEy…”
“I said go home.” His voice was ice–cold. “And stop using that dumb brain of yours to “belp‘ me. I’ll deal with you later.”
Her eyes filled with tears instantly. “How could you say that to me? I did this for you! Do you think I’d come all the way here and grovel in front of her if it wasn’t for you?”
“Enough!” he snapped. “Stop with the nonsense, do home. Now.”
Rohana stomped and stormed off, clearly reluctant.
Once she was gone, Miguel turned to Enrica. His expression shifted ever so slightly.
She was dressed plainly–just a simple office outfit, her hair tied back, not a hint of makeup on her face. But for some reason, looking at her now, he suddenly tell
like she wasn’t the same woman he used to know. She seemed diferent
