Chapter 16

• Since we found out that Julia had escaped from the psychiatric hospital, Max decided to increase security, especially mine. It's been a month since the meeting, and the truth is that I feel more and more lonely. Max comes home late, and whenever I see his shirt, it's always stained with lipstick. But I haven't said anything because I've followed the rules of being a good wife. Thankfully, I have Ed by my side, always there to support me, and Carol too. I don't know what I would do without them.
• "Alright, friend, this is the new maternity clothing campaign, so you have to put on this fake belly for the photoshoot."
• "Okay, let me change." I put on the belly and then the clothes, but when I look at myself in the mirror, I feel strange. I had never imagined myself pregnant before.
