The Shackles of Love of the Substitute Woman
Chapter 39

A commotion broke out in Luis' residence, everyone could only be mute and deaf. Makeup and tantrums continued to come out of Vina's mouth, he looked for the whereabouts of Luis who was no longer home in the morning.

Maria who saw Vina was angry immediately approached and reprimanded her daughter-in-law.

"Vina, what are you doing? Early in the morning like this you even make a fuss?!" Maria cussed in a slightly irritated tone as her beautiful sleep had to be interrupted by Vina's voice.

"Ma, naturally I was angry and made a fuss in the morning. Luis is not home!" Reply to Vina who is getting upset.

"He must have gone to the office, for what the hell to be in trouble."

"To office? I called his office but Mas Luis wasn't around, and he said he wouldn't come to the office today. Do you think I should calm down when I find out my husband is outside?! And it's possible that now Mas Luis is with another woman." Vina said that with a half-screaming tone.

Maria immediately shook her head looking at her daughter-in-law's exasperating behavior.

"If you want to find Luis, you better look outside. But don't make a fuss in this house, my ears are almost broken hearing your constant screaming inside the house. And again you'd better take care of Grace, it's been a few days you haven't even taken care of your son!" Maria immediately scolded Vina who was in the value of paying less attention to Grace.

"There's a babysitter already, so there's no need to bother taking care of it." Vina answered, who has now begun to show her true face to Mary.

Maria immediately frowned when she heard Vina's outrageous reply, "You're her mother but you don't pay any attention to Grace, even though there are nannies even though Anggun still has to get attention from you." Said the upset Maria.

"I'm busy, where to take care of Grace." Vina answered with eyes that stared lazily at Maria.

The annoyed Maria immediately insulted Vina all out, "Busy? What are you busy with? Do you work? No, not even all this time you've been living on Luis. And you still call yourself a busy man," said Maria who guiltlessly insulted Vina all-out.

"What did Mama say? You insulted me, remember I'm Luis' wife and I'm the hostess in this house. If Mama insults me one more time, I'll get Mas Luis to kick you out of here!" Said Vina who was getting upset after hearing the humiliation from her mother-in-law.

"What did you say? You want to kick me out, Vina remembers. Luis is your husband but he's my son, although Luis takes care of the company but I'm the one in control. And one more thing, don't forget. If Luis never loved you at all, if it wasn't for me defending you, you might have been kicked out of this house a long time ago." Said Maria who realized Vina's position in this house. "I wonder at the poor who call themselves busy, but their activities are just squandering money." Maria said as she walked away from Vina.

Vina immediately rushed up to Maria who was now sitting on the porch of the house, Mary's eyes staring cynically at Vina who came to him.

"There is a need for what the Madam of this house," said Maria who pressured said Madam.

Vina could only bury her shame and anger because she did not want to lose a valuable figure like Maria, because the presence of Maria beside her was needed to keep her position as Luis' wife.

"Ma, I'm sorry for what I said to you earlier. It's because I'm getting carried away by the emotion of Mas Luis' departure" said Vina with teary eyes.

Maria calmly drank her tea, "Vina, what you said was not an error. Except it's your character and you think of me as a person who is easy to bluff but the truth is not." Mary said as if she had read Vina's mind.

"That's not true, Ma." Said Vina who immediately sat down and held Maria's hand.

"All right, I believe. But remember Vina without me. You will never be able to survive long in this house even more so with the fact that Luis does not love you at all" said Maria who immediately released her hand from Vina's grasp.

"Well, I know that." Vina answered with anger in her heart.

"You better take care of Grace, I don't want my granddaughter to not get good affection. And one more thing, don't you ever try to be rude to my granddaughter, if you ever do anything like that again. I'll make sure you get out of this house and even stay in jail" Maria warned Vina.

Hearing that Vina was surprised instead of playing, she did not know if Maria already knew what she had done to Anggun.

"What is Mama talking about, where might I do such a despicable deed. Moreover Anggun is my son, I cannot be that cruel to my own biological daughter." Replied Vina who was still trying to cover up her mistake.

"I'm not deaf and blind, so even if you say that I already know the truth." Maria answered, "You better not come just to interrupt my time,"

After that Maria immediately left Vina just like that, now Vina's position in this house is on the edge. If he had not messed with Mary from the beginning, perhaps such a thing would never have happened.
