que havia errado em contar a verdade
The “disbelief” in the source term belongs to the second person's reaction and is connected to the the first person’s conclusion by the conjunction “that” so unless you are tied to transliterating your text, you can make it much smoother in Portuguese by rearranging it a bit.
Example sentence:
Assim que vi sua expressão mudar de preocupada a chocada e então a incrédula, percebi que havia cometido um grave erro ao contar-lhe a verdade.
