TWO AND HALF YEARS LATER."Jaden, come back here" Gabriella hollered trying to adjust her graduation gown as a small boy not less than one year old came running towards her and before he could reach her, someone else scooped him into their arms.Gabriella raised her head as a soft smile appeared on her face."Skipped a meeting?" she asked with an amused smile as Diego shrugged."Actually felt the shareholders arguing"Diego said as Gabriella shook her head while laughing as Diego reached towards her and dropped a small kiss on her forehead."You came right on time else we would have had to fix a picture of you into it"Trisha said as everyone burst into laughter"We were just about to take pictures"Trisha added as Diego snorted at her moving towards Gabriella and standing beside her.He had been reckless during one of their nightlife and Gabriella ended up getting pregnant. The latter was almost in her final year so she didn't mind and gave birth to a bouncing baby boy and his great

Diego walked into his mom's room and saw the latter holding a picture. A small smile drifted to his lips while approaching her wanting to check what the picture contained but his smile immediately froze upon seeing the picture."Mom, what are you doing with that picture?" Diego asked as his mom smiled at him."You two really look good together" she replied waving the picture at him. It was a picture of both Diego and Gabriella smiling brightly at the camera.Diego didn't bother replying as he climbed into bed with his mom and placed his head on her laps."I know you miss her" his mom started but Diego kept quiet not saying anything."And I know you love her" his mom added as Diego chuckled silently."And you think she'll want to come back?" Diego asked as his mother smiled."I know she'll want to come back" his mother replied as he stated patting his head quietly."I know how exhausting this has been for you Diego , has painful this whole experience has been for you and the amount of

Gabriella could feel her hart slamming against her chest as she finished watching the video, her legs seem to walk faster than her brain and Gabriella could feel her world crashing down on her. Mona had insecurity issues? She almost didn't believe it if not for the fact that Mona herself had used her mouth to say it. Mona ahd these so many issues and she almost didn't have an idea of any of them? Gabriella couldn't believe herself. Tears rolled down her eyes nonstop as she hurried towards Mona's apartment.Every single word that Mona ahd said in the video tore into her heart like a tornado. To think that this was what Moan had been feeling like all these years and the fact that Mona was right in virtually everything she had said made Gabriella even panic more. She had darted from the cafe seeing as how Mona had tore the bracelet off her hand.She definitely couldn't lose her best firends, she couldn't. They were all she had left. Mona spilling out her guts had made Gabriella reali

Diego stood motionlessly as he stared at the grave in front of him. There hordes of people behind him but no one dared to get close to him. No one knew who it was but they all knew an important member of the Rodriguez family had died. No matter how hard they tried, the information on who had died wasn't found.An older woman walked closer to Diego as she slowly rubbed his shoulders while Diego turned slightly and buried his head in her arms.Whatever was happening, whatever was going to happen; they had to live first."He was very proud of you" she muttered quietly as Diego smiled lightly.I know. He made that very obvious before he left" Diego replied as the woman squeezed his shoulder lightly while Diego smiled as he removed his head from her embrace and placed the woman in her arms before leading her towards the car."Let's go home" Diego said softly as one of the bodyguards opened the door for them and they both got into the car.As the car sped off; a figure clad in black clothes

By the time Gabriella finished climbing the stairs, what she saw a very familiar female figure leaning on the car and staring at him. Gabriella swallowed down her saliva rather painfully as she turned her head and attempted to walk away pretending not to see the latter but she was wrong. The latter had come for her."Are you going to pretty that your eye sockets have gone backwards or you are going to pretend that your eyesight chooses who it wants to see?" she asked as Gabriella winced slightly as she paused in her steps and quickly took a few rapid breaths to calm down as she turned to the other wearing a serene face, her voice as calm as a still river."We already parted ways. There's no need for you to ocme and see me" Gabriella replied but the reply she got in return was the latter opening the car door for her."Get in" she said turning back toGabriella who stared at her in surprise before shaking her head."I'm not getting in the car" she said resolutely."Then if you dare wlak

By the time Diego opened his eyes, all he could see was the white ceiling. A turn of his head reminded him where he was and why he was there. Trisha was the first to rush to him, her hands frantically touching him to check if he was alright."Are you alright?" Trisha asked."Diego " Peter called as Diego sighed softly while he tried to seat up on the bed. Trisha slowly helped him seat down on the bed and they all watched in atnoshiment as Diego tore off the drains on his body. His face even didn't wince as he pulled the wires from his body."Diego , you need to rest" John started as Diego turned to him with an icy glare that froze John down to his bones.He stood up from the bed and Leon immediately blocked his way whileDiego slowly raised his head to meet the latter's eyes. Leon stood firm despite meeting the eyes that seemed to be shooting ice pickles. The pickles tore at him wildly but Leon stood his ground."What are you doing?" Diego asked."Get out of the way" Diego added."Y

~ Charles“Megan,” I began, my voice quivering with the burdensome weight of what I needed to say. Her eyes turned to me, full of curiosity and concern, as I confessed the truth that had eaten away at my peace and sanity for years.Megan lost her mind for a moment, kicking, punching, and calling me names. She refused to believe that I was capable of such an evil act. She said she saw the silhouette of the hit-and-run driver, and it wasn't mine. She accused me of taking the fall for someone, and I tried to explain that I was not, but she wouldn't believe me.“Megan, it is the truth, and I can't keep running from it,” I said, my voice steadier with resolve. “I need to own up to what I’ve done.”Megan remained in denial, but I felt ecstatic, more than I have felt in years. It was ironic, huh? I was feeling relieved just knowing that I was going to pay for my crimes. Megan refused to follow me, so after I said my last goodbye to my son, I drove myself to the police station, knowing that

~ MeganI ran out of the office panting. When I saw my sister, I told her everything and I took the flash drive that had the video with me.My sister had a brilliant idea. She smirked as she spoke. “Tomorrow is Charles’ wedding with that snake. Why don't we crash the wedding and expose the truth?”My eyes lit up. “You are so bloody smart and wicked, Lena,” I smirked.With determination burning in our hearts, Celena and I hatched a plan to crash Charles’s wedding, and Lucian was ready to help us in any way possible. We would expose May tomorrow for her deceit. Armed with the evidence that still had its primary source alive, I knew it would be a piece of cake to expose May.The next day, we arrived at the venue of the wedding, our hearts pounding with anticipation and nerves. We were determined to make our move before it was too late.As we stealthily made our way inside, I felt like I was in one of those dramatic telenovelas, and I was the female lead ready to rain hell on the villains

~ MeganThat was the last conversation I had with Charles before our divorce was made public. Without giving an explanation to the public, he began his wedding preparations, forcing people to speculate about the reason for our separation. Unsurprisingly, there were people who guessed it right and immediately began to cyber-attack Charles and May.I avoided the media and crowded locations because I wasn't ready to face them yet.Every day felt like an endless battle as I tried to survive the storm of emotions that raged within me. The pain of my separation from Charles made me feel vulnerable and broken because neither of us wanted it. But then I knew I had to stay strong, for myself and for the life that lay ahead of me with Charles.As the days crawled by, I found solace in quiet moments, mostly spent alone, where I could reflect on the memories we had shared and the love that had once bound us together. But even in the midst of my grief, a flicker of hope remained, a tiny flame tha

~ Megan"But my father... he has always been too focused on the business, even when he is supposed to be retired. He is hell-bent on protecting the family name at all costs. He can't see past that, even if it means our happiness."Tears welled up in my eyes as I shook my head in disbelief. It was as if things were about to head south, and there was nothing I could do to stop it. "I can't believe he is doing this to me... I thought we had his support.""So did I," Charles admitted, feeling a lump form in my throat. "But it seems like... like he is willing to throw everything away for the sake of that company."I wrapped my arms around Charles, seeking solace in his embrace. “We’ll get through this, Charles. We always do, no matter how tough the going gets. As long as we have each other, we are going to be fine.”I knew that no matter the challenges that lie ahead, we would overcome them, as long as we had each other, we would be fine.“I love you, Megan,” Charles whispered, pressing a

~ CharlesIt was a big shock to meet Megan at my father’s house. I could only hide my surprise by pretending to be unsurprised to see her. As she stepped aside for us to chat, her presence seemed to fill the space, and I couldn't help but feel a rush of conflicting emotions.“Charles?” she narrowed her eyes. “You didn't tell me that you would be coming here,” her voice a mixture of apprehension and determination.“Honey!” I replied, mustering a smile despite the turmoil brewing within me. “Why are you here? I mean, you didn't tell me that you would be seeing Father today…”She hesitated for a moment before speaking, her gaze steady. “I needed to talk to your father, Charles. It's about May and her crazy claims.”My heart sank at the mention of May’s name. The mere thought of her sent heavy waves of frustration through me. But I pushed aside the emotions, focusing on Megan, or better still, trying not to break character so she wouldn't know I came here for a reason.I laughed awkwardly

~ MeganI spoke earnestly, my voice tinged with frustration and desperation, hoping to convey my innocence to my father-in-law amidst the gravity of the situation."She deliberately manipulated the situation to make it appear as though I pushed her down the stairs. But I swear, Father, I would never do such a sinister thing, no matter how upset I may be. You know me, you know that I love Charles a lot and care about this family. I couldn't harm anyone, let alone a pregnant woman for that matter."My father-in-law regarded me with a mixture of concern and contemplation, absorbing my words carefully. "Megan, I've known you for years. I know the kind of person you are, and I find it hard to believe that you would intentionally harm anyone, let alone May."I felt a wave of relief wash over me at his words. Perhaps he was beginning to see through May's deceitful facade."But," he continued, his expression serious, "we can't ignore the evidence before us. May's injuries, her condition... Th
