Chapter 2 I Can't Take it Anymore
Reginaldo decides to try to claim some dignity for himself, "Laura, keep your decorum.

She gets up from the couch and starts walking toward Reginaldo."Would you be able to rat me out? Remember what we agreed: I don't mind your business and you don't mind mine! This isn't a real marriage, you took advantage of me when we met at that nightclub and my father preferred to force you to be my husband than to put you in jail!""I didn't take advantage of you!" Reginaldo explodes, "We were both drunk enough... and what would a virgin do in a nightclub if it wasn't for the intention of having the first time?"Despite her high heels, Laura climbs the stairs fast enough to reach Reginaldo and slap him. Eduardo laughs on the couch."Damn you!" Laura roars, "It's over, I'm tired of this charade! I'm going to ask my parents to annul this marriage! See him down there?" She points

How boring, being a realtor."Anestor says ironically, "Yes, it's very boring to be the son of the owner of the largest real estate network in Espírito Santo."Reginaldo wrinkles his nose, "You know very well that's not what keeps me away from this world. Fabrey Real Estate has become a nest of snakes. Envy and greed have become essential qualities among my family, especially among my cousins ​​who feel entitled to take my place.
