NOT SO BERRY

Astrid highkey wishing the punching bag was Eduardo’s face. 

NOT SO BERRY

Astrid was livid. “I don’t want to hear you try to justify your actions with more lies! I am a strong woman, I’ve worked so hard to show my girls that they can grow up to be anything – like a famous athlete, for example – and I don’t need a pathetic excuse of a man like you dragging me down and ruining everything I’ve taught them! You’re disgusting, Eduardo and your poor wife doesn’t deserve to be married to someone like you.”

“Astrid, I’m so-”

“No, you don’t get to apologize. I am a force to be reckoned with and if you don’t tell your wife everything, I will. No woman should ever have to go through this. If you want to make things right, start with your wife but leave me out of it!” 

// astrid snapped! bless this woman for exposing the dirty snake eduardo is. landgraabs, smh. 

NOT SO BERRY

Shortly after Eduardo arrived, Astrid led him to her front porch. The grim look on her face worried the man, had he done something wrong?

“I called you because I know all your dirty little secrets.” Astrid told him without warning, catching Eduardo off guard. He appeared shocked, full of guilt but Astrid knew it was all an act. “Your wife isn’t dead! What you’ve done to her is disgusting and I can’t believe I fell for your stupid lies. Whatever we had, it’s over!” 

“Astrid, please… let me explain myself!” Eduardo begged, but Astrid wasn’t in the mood for any more lies. 

NOT SO BERRY

After reassuring Grayson she’d be okay, Astrid parted ways with her friend and dialed Eduardo’s number. She put a fake smile on when his voice came through the other end of the line. “Hey, do you think you could meet me at my home? I wanted to talk to you about something…”

NOT SO BERRY

Astrid had never been so confused. “But… he told me his wife passed away! He seemed so upset about it and – and I’ve spent so much time around him! This can’t be true!”

Grayson sighed. “I’m sorry, A. He’s not who you think he is! His wife is Alexis Landgraab and I can assure you that she’s very much alive and they are very married. They live next door to me. I would never lie to you about something like this.”

In that moment, all Astrid Berry felt was rage. How could she have been so dumb?

NOT SO BERRY

“Uh, is everything okay?” Astrid observed her friend, taking in the shocked expression etched into her features. 

“That’s the guy you’re seeing?!” 

Astrid furrowed her eyebrows. “Yeah.. he’s really nice and stuff -”

“No! He’s not nice, he’s evil and a liar!” Grayson cut her off. “He’s not a single parent, he’s married!” 

“What?!”

NOT SO BERRY

“And this is Eduardo. He’s super caring, handsome and he understands the difficulty of raising a child as a single parent so it’s nice to have someone to talk to when I’m feeling stressed over the kids!” 

A soft gasp filled Astrid’s ears…
