Beatrice frowned, her grip tightening on her cane. "What are you saying, Carlos?"
"She seduced an outsider," Carlos lied smoothly, his voice shaking to sound more convincing. "She went behind my back and slept with him. She has soiled our family name. I cannot bear the shame. I am divorcing her."
Ashlyn gasped. Her mouth dropped open in pure shock. She could not believe the words coming out of his mouth. He was twisting the story completely. He was making himself the innocent victim.
A new, fiery anger exploded in Ashlyn's chest. She would not let him do this. She would not go down alone.
"Carlos!!!" Ashlyn screamed.
She ran forward, ignoring the pain in her legs. She stopped a few feet away from him, her eyes wide with rage.
