Chapter: CHAPTER 158CHAPTER 158 Serene The next day, I awoke in a hospital bed, knowing that the worst news was waiting for me. I stood up and looked at Charlotte and Neina, who were nervously looking at each other. "Did I lose the babies?" I asked my ears, knowing fully well that they were unprepared for the answer. "No, you didn't. The children are fine, but we are not sure if you will want to attend Diego's funeral," Charlotte said. "I am fine, I will go," I said, but I could tell they were both concerned that I would not be able to handle the pain. We arrived home, and I was able to change. I was sitting on my couch, trying to remember all the times he managed to create memories with me, and tears welled up in my eyes. I remembered how I hugged him from behind when Miguel was kidnapped. "Tell me you do not want to see me again, and I will leave forever," his words echoed in my mind. “I don't," I recalled saying before running to give him that hug. Why did you leave me so soon? I

Chapter: CHAPTER 157CHAPTER 157 Serene The gunshots continued to echo in my head until I saw Diego fall in front of me. I was unable to speak, and before I could reach out to him, everything went black. "Diego!" I exclaimed, waking up in a hospital bed. "Calm down, Ms. Brights; you are safe and sound," I heard a strange woman say. "Who... Who are you, and where is Miguel?" I asked the woman, who appeared to be smiling at me. “Miguel? I don't know who that is but I —" "What do you mean, you have no idea who my son is? Where is Miguel?" I cut her off, attempting to sit up straight at the prospect of possibly losing my son. "Oh, your son," the woman said with a smile, and my heart rate finally slowed. “Where is he?" I asked her again. "He went to bring you some clothes from the mans

Chapter: CHAPTER 156CHAPTER 156Nelly“Mina!" I heard Max exclaim when I opened my eyes in shock. How was she still alive after what Max had done to her? I looked around and could not believe I was actually in jail. "Hello, Nelly; you appear surprised to be in your new home," Mina said, smiling at me."Mina, my love, I can not believe you are still alive; I have missed you,” Max said, trying to hold her hand."Max, please hold it there. Are you even listening to yourself right now?” Mina cut him off."Of course, sweetie; I can not believe you are here with me every day and night. I wish you—”"Shut up, you idiot," Grace interrupted him as she walked in, looking different. She had lipstick and heels on."Grace, you have arrived," Max said, smiling with hope."Hello Max," Grace

Chapter: CHAPTER 155CHAPTER 155SERENEI could not believe what I just heard and could not even tell Neina. I knew going to sleep in my room would be dangerous, so I locked the door and asked the guards to come upstairs in groups while armed, as the future was unknown at the time. “Is everything OK?" I heard Max ask the guard."Yes, everything is fine, Mr. Cruz; you can sleep," I said, attempting to appear calm."OK, thank you for letting me stay," he said, and I just smiled as I went into my room to grab my coat before returning to Miguel's room. After what I just heard, there was no way I was going to leave my baby alone all night. My thoughts were scattered, and I was having trouble reaching Diego. I was sure he was drunk by now.“What happened?" Neina inquired about why I had decided to have us sleep in Miguel's room.I cou

Chapter: CHAPTER 154CHAPTER 154SERENEWhen Diego learned Miguel had been kidnapped, he dashed out, promising to bring him back, but I knew I would never forgive myself if anything happened to my son. I tried to relax and think positively, but couldn't. I suspected Charlotte was playing a prank on me, but when I called her, she had already left for Dubai with Andrew. My heart was not in the right place, and I knew Grace had not taken him without permission.Who else could have done that?Nelly was the only one who raised a red flag in my mind; I would never use a gun on anyone before, but after all the techniques I learned in self-defense classes with my guards, I did not mind pulling the trigger for Miguel, so I quickly asked the guards to get the car ready and take me to Max's mansion. My instincts never lie, and Miguel would undoubtedly be in the hands of Ne

Chapter: CHAPTER 153CHAPTER 153NellyMax had gone shopping with Sonia and Grace, while I remained behind to make a very strategic move. There is no way Diego just decided to leave and go to a hotel. I have been following him for a while now, and I can not help but outwit him before he outwits us. When I found out that he had gone to see Serene, I used the plan I had devised to get their child and got my hands on that little boy. Knowing Serene would give anything to have that child back, I would play my cards right. I was about to leave my bedroom when I bumped into Max."Nelly, where have you been?" he inquired, his face untidy."What happened and is the shopping already done?" I pretended to ask."Do not act surprised; you know exactly what I am talking about. Where is Serene's son?" he inquired, his tone filled with concern as if he were the father

Chapter: CHAPTER 9CHAPTER 9Ariella I did not expect Luis to be such a jerk; after all, he is a moron. I needed to fix my hair and went to Kendy for help; I was curious why such a sweet and understanding woman would want to be in this hell of a mansion. What am I even saying? It is a mansion, after all, and who would not want to live in one unless it was me who felt suffocated here? When Luis dragged me out of Kendy's room, I witnessed his brutality.I did not have anything against the Delucas, even though they think they run Atlanta, but now that I have been forced to marry Luis, I believe my hatred has begun. I hope Emma can help me get out of this marriage, but how will I explain to Dad that I was forced? He might have a heart attack or something, which I can not afford to cause because he will think my life is in danger.I was still deep in thought when I heard a knock on my door and asked the person to come in. I did not have to guess who it was because the moment I saw her—Kendy—a smile appeared

Chapter: CHAPTER 8CHAPTER 8Luis I have been in Ariella's room for about 5 minutes and she has not even gotten out of the shower. I don't think she knows what I'm like when angry. How could a girl like her make me wait so long? It had been about ten minutes when I decided to go into the bathroom, but she was not there.What? Could she have escaped or something? I quickly called the cameraman to check, but he said he had last seen her with my sister, so I went to her room and found her alone. "Luis, what is the matter?" Annie inquired, noting my worried expression."It is nothing. Have you seen Ariella anywhere?" I asked."You mean the famous law student?" she said."Umm, I believe so, but she should be in her room," Annie replied, putting her clothes in the closet.“OK I'll go —" "Wait," she interrupted. I knew she was going to ask about me and Ariella, so I told her to wait and walked away. I went to Ariella's room and found the door exactly as I had left it. “Boss, are you OK?" I heard David ask a

Chapter: CHAPTER 7CHAPTER 7Ariella Emma seemed to have a lot of questions after class. "I think I need to tell the both of you something," I said as I was about to speak when she interrupted me. “When did this happen?" "It is not what you think; I was forced into this whole thing, and I would not want anything to do with the Mafia. Just help me get out of this mess; I'm—”"Honey, you should not say stuff like that; people might think I am mistreating you, right Klara?" Luis interrupted, handing Klara a box of chocolates.“Ye—Yes,” she stuttered with fear in her tone."Calm down, I am your brother-in-law, so I do not mean any harm to you, my wife, and I have to go home now; if you do not mind, I can have my driver drop you off," Luis said, and Emma hesitated, but Klara gave in. We all went to the car, and the driver went to drop off Klara and Emma before driving us home. Luis removed his arm from my shoulder as soon as the car came to a stop and pulled me out by hand. "What are you doing? Let go." I

Chapter: CHAPTER 6CHAPTER 6Ariella I'm so worried and don't even know what to do. I know Lius has his men closely watching me on campus and everywhere I go from now on. I was in the car thinking about something when the driver took out a black card and a lunch box. "Mrs. Deluca, sir, asked me to give you this," he said, and I just wanted to throw it all away but could not because I was not sure what punishment I would face if I did. "I am fine; you can take that back. I will manage," I said, faking a smile."Madam, please take it; I will lose my life or break a bone if I return this to Mr. Deluca," the driver begged, but how was that going to be my problem? I assured him that nothing would happen and was about to get out of the car when I remembered how blood dripped from Luis' face when he forced me to sign the paperwork, so I quickly returned to take the card and launch box."I am sorry I was not thinking straight," I said, apologizing for nearly killing the innocent driver.“Ariella!"

Chapter: CHAPTER 5CHAPTER 5Atlanta, Georgia Enrico "Call everyone here right now!" I told my right hand, Mathews, in an angry tone.“Boss, is everything OK?" He asked, but I threw everything on my table to the ground and turned it over.“Are you going or should I do it myself?" I asked him this time, pointing a gun directly at his chest, and we both knew my bullets never missed. "I—I will," he said quickly, hurrying out.I was still in my office, destroying everything in my path as a sense of defeat burned inside me. "Oh my goodness, Enrico, what is the matter?" Monica inquired as she and my men hurried into my office."I should be asking all of you that now," I said, staring at everyone fiercely, including Monica, who did not bow her head like the others because she was my girlfriend."What happened, Enrico—did the Delucas offend you, or is it that stubborn bitch?" Monica asked as she attempted to approach me, but I pointed my gun at her."Stop or you might regret taking another step," I warned in

I am Deluca's family doctor, which means I will be your doctor as well," the man said, and I confirmed with his dressing.“OK, what happened?" I asked, feeling so weak."Your fear of guns got the best of you, and you passed out," Luis explained as he walked in.I felt like jumping on him and slicing him up; how dare he point a gun at me? “You will —" I could not even finish my sentence because I started to feel weaker.“What's happening to her?" Luis asked the doctor."Nothing; it is just the side effect of the medication I gave her. Mrs. Deluca will come around soon, and please ensure she eats enough," the doctor said before walking away."David accompany him,” Luis said while walking towards me."Ariella Johnson, the only adamant law student to bring down the mafia, why do you think you are brave enough if you
