FOR NOW...
Very hurt, she entered her room and locked herself in. Ashamed, Tonio knocked and knocked but she wouldn't open the door for him, instead she wept.
Downstairs, he informed everyone present that he believed totally Raquel and he knew very well that Max really tried to kill him; he more or less admitted it on the night he'd first confronted him about it. Max boldly confirmed he'd said that, but it had been only to 'bug' him. Oscar restrained Tonio who was about to make a move to hit the bastard. Martha comes in but as no one tells her anything, went upstairs in a huff.
Ramon came to remind Tonio that Chucho was still waiting for him, and he left to attend to him. Martha went to see her sister, asking why everyone was acting so strangely and Raquel told her what happened, tearfully feeling it wasn't a good idea to have slept with Tonio, when he still had suspicions about her. In the study, Tonio handed Chucho a thick wad of cash,(by the way, accepting money for saving a life is VERY TACKY) and is thanked profusely.
Tonio returned to the living room, coldly told Max he could continue living in the mansion BUT must stay away from his wife, and went upstairs. Victoria gave her son very strong advice which he sulkily listened to before walking out on her. He goes to see his accomplice, Luis (one of the drivers) and confirms from him that there would be no way for Tonio to easily find the judge and confab on what next to do to separate Raquel and Tonio.
Tonio is angry and bitter at the unresolved issue; he goes to see Raquel, who is very unhappy that nothing could be done or proven for now. She was also feeling regrets for sleeping with him, how could he love her if he doubted her. He said due to what he's being through, it's only logical he still had some doubts.
Raquel, upset, replied she didn't know how to convince him she wasn't Max' s accomplice. Did he honestly think she would actually conspire to kill him?
Tonio shook his head slowly then pulled her into his arms. Tearfully, Raquel wrapped her arms around him, hugging him back.
