Chapter 25 A Reality

"D-Dead? He died when Mateo and Selena were engaged? Are you saying Mateo cheated on Selena?" Miracle's face instantly changed. Her expression looked so shocked. Thousands of questions about a woman named Heera popped into her mind. Miracle shook her head repeatedly, trying to convince herself that what she heard was wrong. But no, she wasn't mistaken. She heard everything so clearly. "Mateo didn't cheat." Arsen paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "Mateo was already in a relationship with Heera. But Mateo's family didn't approve of Heera. And Mateo was forced to accept the arranged marriage set up by your parents because, from the beginning, Mateo was already promised to Selena. The engagement between Mateo and Selena happened because their parents forced it. One day before the engagement, Mateo told me that he promised Heera that his engagement was just pretend. But I know, it's not easy being Heera. She couldn't simply accept her lover marrying someone else. The last police report I heard was that Heera had an accident because she was driving at an excessive speed."
