The Shackles of Love of the Substitute Woman
Chapter 25

Luis is now trapped in a game played by Vina, after Vina's illness was discovered by people the woman was often in the hospital when snapped by Luis or when Luis was together with a woman who just to discuss business.

"Mama, do you think Vina's been overreacting lately?" asked Luis who had started to get annoyed with Vina's attitude.

"What's excessive, it's natural that Vina has a heart disease that should be nice to you! You should be able to be more gentle and appreciate Vina more with her current condition" said Maria, who blamed Luis instead.

Upset with Maria's attitude that even continues to blame him Luis immediately rushed to leave his own biological mother.

Vina who saw the departure of Luis also put on a sad face, he immediately pulled Luis' hand.

"Mas, I'm sorry for my condition like this you have become often angered by Mama," said Vina with teary eyes.

But Luis did not respond to Vina's words, he asked Vina to let go of his hand. After that Luis immediately passed away with his back starting to move away from Vina's presence.

Mary who saw Vina's sadness immediately comforted her daughter-in-law, and Vina only smiled faintly when she heard the words of Mary.

Luis began to drive his car into the city streets crowded by cars, along the way Luis could only hold the anger in his heart. He was eager to expel Vina from his life but the influence of the woman was not small, he could even take the heart of Mary who made the middle-aged woman on his side.

When Luis was in the car, he briefly saw a woman similar to Vina without a second thought Luis immediately pulled over his car right in front of Vira.

Then Luis got out of the car and greeted Vira politely.

"During the afternoon, Miss Vira, what are you doing?" ask Luis who's just a pleasantie.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Luis, as you can see, I'm walking" Vira said.

"Do you want to go somewhere?" ask Luis.

"Yes, I'd like to go to the baby's clothing store." Vira Said.

"What if I take you?" luis offered me a ride.

"No, I don't want to bother you Mr. Luis." Said Vira who wanted to subtly refuse.

"If I offer a ride, I don't feel bothered" Luis said, leaving Vira confused in what way to refuse.

With Vira forced to agree to Luis' invitation to drive him to the clothes shop, Vira just kept quiet and did not want to chat at all with Luis.

Somehow a strange feeling arose in Vira's mind, she was nervous and her heart kept racing while she was next to Luis.

"You want to buy Rafael's clothes?" ask Luis.

"Yes" replied Vira briefly.

Luis went back to silence and focused on looking at the highway, for some reason there was a sense of pleasure in Luis' heart. Vira has the same face as Vina but he has a very different attitude away from Vina, maybe for Luis. Vira is the opposite of Vina.

But suddenly Luis' mind immediately remembered the name of his wife who was almost the same as Vira.

"Miss Vira, your real name is Elvira?" asked Luis again to make sure if he did not remember wrong.

Luis fell silent with a serious expression, "Don't Vina have a twin because this isn't just a coincidence, even their faces and names are very similar."

Vira was silent at the sight of Luis' serious expression, but the woman did not dare to ask Luis.

Arriving at the baby clothes store on the side of the road, Vira immediately got out of the car. He initially wanted to say goodbye and say thank you but unexpectedly Luis also entered the store.

Vira continues to choose clothes that are suitable for Rafael but Vira is confused because all of her clothes are very cute.

"What if this outfit, the motif is great for boys." Luis said with his eyes fixed on a baby boy's clothes.

Vira immediately saw the clothes that Luis pointed at and sure enough his clothes were very funny and would certainly be suitable for Rafael.

"Okay, I'll take this one." Said Vira who took the clothes.

But Luis again gave his baby clothes to Rafael, he chose a few pieces of clothing that he thought were suitable for Rafael. Vira was silent when he saw the clothes chosen by Luis for Rafael, inexplicably Vira felt very happy because Luis was the real father of Rafael.

Now Luis and Vira are at the cashier table, he immediately gives their groceries to check the price.

"Total Rp. 950,000" said the cashier.

When Vira wants to pay Luis to immediately issue his debit card, "Sir Luis let me pay because this is my groceries," said Vira.

"No, I chose this outfit so let me pay." Luis.

Vira was speechless with a slightly pleased expression, after which the cashier immediately gave the receipt to Luis and Luis immediately put it in his pocket.

"Let's get Miss Vira, let me drive you home." Luis.

Vira got into the car with Luis, "Thank you, Mr. Luis, you paid for my groceries." Said Vira with a warm and gentle smile.

"Together, just consider it a gift from me to Rafael." Luis replied who was silent for a moment when he saw Vira's beautiful face especially as the woman smiled at him.

"Miss Vira, are you hungry?" ask Luis.

"Lumayan" replied Vira.

"What if we go to a restaurant to eat," Luis asked.

"No, but what as a token of gratitude do I want to invite you to eat at my house?" asked Vira who suddenly the sentence seemed to come out of her mouth.

"Well, I gladly accept your invitation."

Vira immediately regretted what he said, "Fuck mouth, what you have said. How could I suddenly invite that man over to eat at my house, but I also couldn't possibly suddenly cancel that invitation."

Now Vira can only smile resignedly, he also invited Luis to go to his house that has been given by Vishnu. But before that Vira went to the nearest supermarket to buy some groceries for her to cook later.
