Title: Chapter 36: Chapter 36 - Losing Another Talerico
I've read plenty of books watched a plethora of shows and none as ever come close to the turmoil these last two chapters.
I'm sure people thought I was crazy the way I was acting on the bus while reading the last chapter messed around and missed my damn stop too.
Let's start with Richard. He is a f×cking selfish basted but I think he really does care for Natalia and divorced her cause he got caught with his pants down. I believe he was really protecting her from his family as messed up as it is. I believe he did what he did because he couldn't stomach losing another woman to the seed of the man who knocked Mercedes up (I think it was his father(Pop Pop) but I'll wait to see what happens).
Rich didn't mean to let it all out like that but emotions running high and he was worried about Natalia given her condition. I think he snapped because it still bothers him what Mercedes did to his mother and father relationship. He didn't out her to hurt Ant but more to Hurt Mercedes the way she hurt him and his family. He has never really forgiven either Richard or Mercedes. I know the brothers will work it out.
Anthony Anthony Anthony! Boy you need lots of therapy. I'm so proud of you for introducing Natalia and so sorry for the blow you took as a result. I'm praying you forgive both Natalia and Rich and even your mother cause you not gonna be able to move ford and enjoy your life if you don't and you deserve that and more.
Natalia, please tell Anthony when he gets back the truth no relation ship built on secrets will last example 1: your marriage to Richard. I know Anthony will forgive you because you two have been through worst and love is all about sacrifice, honesty and loyalty. I really need Nat to cool down though this stressful environment ain't good for her and the babies.
Ms. JJ I need a signed copy of this book upon completion. This is one I need in my Library! You have a blessed gift and I'm thankful for you sharing it with us. Looking forward to the next Chapter.
Author's Response: Great insight, Sharlene. I have to agree with your assessment of the character. Richard has allowed his desire for women, vegeance, and his family's approval to get the best of him, but he does feel a deep love for Nat. And Mercede unlocked years of resentment with her attack on Nat. As far as Rich is concerned, she bears most of the blame for his parent's divorce and Anthony's miserable childhood. Nat keeping her prior knowledge a secret would be a huge mistake, but may be one she doesn't get a chance to make. More on that next chapter.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for the awesome review!!!
P.S. Sorry about the curious stares from other passengers and you missing your stop. I blame Mercede : )
