FORBIDDEN PASSION STEPCHILDREN
Chapter 7. Talk Both

Karen drove her husband away until he got in the car. Before the car starts, the woman kisses Arion's hand. The middle-aged man peed his forehead.

Everything they do does not escape Rico's sight. It would seem that the man did not like what he saw. His hands clenched with restraining emotions.

After the car her husband was riding in disappeared, Karen stepped in slowly. He knows, for a week this will definitely continue to face Rico. Karen's afraid of her defense broke down.

Even though he does not love Arion, it does not mean that the affair is justified. She must keep herself as a wife.

Just a few steps into the living room, Karen felt a hug on her roast. Karen knows exactly who did it. If Rico were still his girlfriend, he would have returned the hug. However, their status was very different at the moment.

"Let go Rico. Someone will see. I don't want any trouble between us."

"I miss you. Are you no longer feeling for me?" ask Rico.

Karen let go of Rico's embrace forcefully. Fixing the body facing the man.

"It's not about feelings. We have to forget everything. Among us, we can no longer be together. My status and yours have been different."

"Have you forgotten what we did two days ago?" ask Rico.

"That's just one mistake. I won't repeat it."

"I want to know why you married Papi. Though I have invited you to get married, why did you choose an old man instead? Is it because of Papi's abundant money? The Karen I used to know wasn't matre!" said Rico.

Cool looks to catch his breath. Maybe he should have a one-on-one conversation with Rico so there's no more misunderstanding. Let everything be clear and accept the truth.

"We'll talk there for a second" Karen asked.

"Rico, I never betrayed you. I married Papi Arion to repay a debt my father had borrowed. Our debt is already very much, which is used for the treatment of mothers. We won't be able to pay it anytime. When Papi Arion came up with a solution, if I married him our debt would be paid off, my father agreed. Because that's one way to get all paid," said Karen slowly.

"Why aren't you being honest with me, Karen? I can help you. I'll try to pay your family's debt" Rico said.

"I don't want to burden you. Dad's debt isn't a little."

Rico stood up from his seat. Approach Karen and sit back, next to the woman. Rico clasped the hand of the woman he loved so much.

"Karen, if only you were to marry a man that I believe could make you happy, I would have let him go and let go of our separation. However, I'm not willing if you marry a man I don't believe will make you happy" Rico said.

"What do you mean, Rico?" ask Karen. He did not understand the meaning of the man's words.

"My dad's not the right guy for you. Just cancel your marriage to Papi. I'll pay your father's debt. Papi doesn't deserve a woman as good as you. We'll have another relationship like we were."

Karen looked at her lover Rico's face. Wanting her to nod her head in agreement, but Karen remembered the agreement letter she had signed. If she will be a good wife and will accept all the shortcomings of a partner. I will not be seeking divorce unless divorced. That is how the letter of the agreement is.

There's no way Karen's asking for a wedding annulment. Because he would pay double his debt if he did that.

Karen shook her head in a forced manner. He will not be able to escape this marriage.

"We can't be together. I will not betray this marriage. We should both study hard. Wouldn't we still be able to be together even as a mother and child" Karen said, holding back tears from drenching her cheeks.
