CHAPTER 103

Diego

“What were you doing there?” I questioned Sofia, who appeared to have added to my problems.

"Nothing, I was on my way home from the mall and saw those guards throwing you out like trash," she said.

"OK, but you did not have to do that," I explained to her.

"Wait...if I had not intervened, those men would have broken every bone in your body, Diego. I thought you were supposed to thank me.”

"OK, thanks," I said, wiping the blood from the corner of my lip.

"Come to think of it, isn't that Serene Bright's house?" she said.

“Yes it is,” I replied.

“Are you and —”

"No, we are not; it is all business.”

I was not prepared for her interrogations, so I faked a meeting at home. "Can I come along?" she inquired.

"No, not now, some other time; I believe you understand how business works, right?" I questioned.

"Yes, but I have something I need to tell you, Diego," she said, taking a deep breath.

It was not like I was new to the conversation, so I asked her to remain

    CHAPTER 104NellyI can't stand watching all of my efforts fail, so maybe I should try something out of the ordinary, something that will bring me closer to knowing exactly where Diego is so I can go find him; there is no way I have been living in this mansion for over two months without him coming for me; he would get on the next flight from Colombia just to get me, so what the hell has changed? Okay, this does not even sound like me, but is absence supposed to make the heart grow fonder? Damn, maybe these writers are just playing with our heads, but one thing is certain: I am Diego Myers' weakness. I know I still have power over his heart, but that Serene bitch is probably a beggar or even dead. I returned to the house and found George waiting for me in the living room. "Ms. Mendoza, good evening. I have a message for—”"Can you tell me when Diego will arrive?" I asked with a smile."It is not that; I believe you have to—”"I know how to change the house or throw him a welcome part

    CHAPTER 105 Diego I have not seen Serene or my uncle in days, and I don't know what he is up to right now. I am tired of hiding the truth; I need to stand up and confront him before he comes for my wife and child, I mean ex-wife, but it still feels like I never divorced her. Damn! I entered the kitchen and found Grace washing the cups. "Hey, are you feeling better now?" she inquired after I spent the entire day in bed. “Yes, I'm OK now, have you seen my uncle?” I questioned. "No, but I overheard him talking on the phone with someone.” “What did they say?” I questioned. "I do not know, but it has nothing to do with her or my grandson," Grace reassured me. “Thank goodness, I think it's time to —” "Unless you carefully plan everything, it will not be; I can not watch you risk them," she interrupted. "I do not want to; I wish I could tell her I was not involved in anything related to her drugging, but she will not believe me.” "I know the man who spiked her drink was found dead

    CHAPTER 106 Diego “Charlotte look it's not what you think OK I can —” "Please spare me that conversation in which you appear to have found another Nelly. What a shame some people don't mend their ways," she said. “Charlotte, please, you got it wrong.” "Please excuse me and get used to limiting certain behaviors indoors. Pollution in the corridors is disgusting, especially when you have a reputation," she said with a smile before walking away. "Who the hell is that? And why do you not want me to respond to them?" Sofia inquired. "Sofia, I believe we should break the contract; I cannot help you overstepping your boundaries. What goes on in my personal life is not your concern, okay.” “OK, fine, I'm sorry. I will get going now; good luck," she said, walking away. What was I supposed to do? To run after her? No way, I have made it clear that our relationship is strictly professional, and nothing will come of it. I did not pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for her to try to ent

    CHAPTER 107Serene My heart is racing and my breath is about to leave me. What games is Diego trying to play with me? Taking advantage of me wasn't enough—though the footage shows me approaching him first, clearly due to the drug he put in my drink. The car came to a stop, and as usual, the guard opened the door for me. I jumped out and was about to walk into the house when I was blocked by someone I did not expect to see: Max Cruz. "I apologize for coming uninvited, Ms. Brights, but I thought it would be fair to have a word. "Oh?" I responded."Yes, Serene you should listen to Mr. Cruz; I believe he has a lot to tell you," Charlotte said."Did you become his new PA, sweetheart?" I asked her."No, I am just someone who knows what happened," she said confidently."Okay, Mr. Cruz, you may come in," I said as I walked in.I gave the maid my bag to take upstairs while I went to the office with Cruz. Just as I was about to walk in, I felt a warm hug wrap around my legs. "Mommy," Miguel sa

    CHAPTER 108 SERENE What am I supposed to say? Everyone has the right to live their lives as they see fit, especially once they reach adulthood. To be honest, when Charlotte said Diego was having a serious relationship with that actress, I felt like I was on fire inside. I am not sure if this is because I still love him, or because I am jealous. I know I shouldn't, but I still remember what I went through with his wicked love. Maybe all he needs is a perfect, sweet, and painful revenge, one that will put him in a better position to return to London with his sweetheart. "Get the car ready," I told the driver before leaving to get my coat upstairs. “Mommy, where are you going?” Miguel asked. "Hey sweetie, I am quickly leaving for something. Is everything all right?” I asked while lowering my body. "Yes, I expected you to take me to see Daddy. I miss him so much," he said, and I could tell he was missing his father. “OK, I'll see what I —” “Good evening,” a familiar voice cut me o

    CHAPTER 109 DIEGO What should a man do when every move he makes fails him? I have been here for weeks, days, and nights, trying to prove my love to Serene, but—she ignored it. I had to belittle myself repeatedly to win her over; she may have become wealthy, but I—I am still the king of New York. She, of all people, should be aware that I am capable of taking that child if necessary. Perhaps I have been too nice and understanding. I sincerely apologized, but I only received mean and hurtful responses. I have no idea what happened to the Serene I knew, the one who would freak out if I did not talk to her for a day. Just the other day, I was thrown out of her house like a dog; I bet those guards have no idea who they messed with. Since the good way did not work well, I might as well consider other ways if Serene does not want to be in my life, I will do what I believe is best for my son. I was about to call George when I accidentally answered a call from the detective I had sent to Se

    CHAPTER 110 Diego I am not sure why I found Sofia's behavior strange, but she was not up to anything. I walked into the living room and saw Grace serving our meal. "Hey, have you looked for me?" I asked. "No, I was just checking in on you," she responded. “I see, any updates?” I questioned. "No, but I was told someone would be joining us for dinner.” “Who?” “Sandra.” “You mean the woman at Serene's party?” I asked. "Yes, your uncle seems to be very calm around her.” "That is strange; maybe there is something we do not know.” "Exactly. I believe we should keep an eye on those two.” “Ok, I'll be outside.” I walked out and called George while waiting for Sandra to arrive. I knew we did not have a close relationship, but maybe I could use her help to bring down my uncle. "Hello, handsome," a voice said from behind. “Hello, what a surprise,” I replied. “Oh it's nothing, how are you?” she asked. “I'm well, how about you?” “Same here, I hope your uncle is inside.” “Yes, he

"Look, I know you will not believe anything I say, but I need you to understand that my uncle is not who you think he is.” “Excuse me?” I raised my brows. "He was the one who drugged you the other night and has been plotting to take over your empire once you get married, Serene," he explained, but I couldn't help but laugh. “Diego Myers are you even listening to yourself right now?” I questioned. "Serene, please put whatever we have behind you and put our son's well-being first. He—” "Whatever we have is a deep scar that cannot be healed, one that will linger for decades. That child you claim to be looking for receives the highest level of security possible. I know you are the only threat, so stop it, okay?” "Serene, you do not know what you are doing; when Max discovers Miguel is my son, he is not going to take

    CHAPTER 167Serene Diego turned around the moment I knocked the vase over. Something significant was going on, and I could see the terror in his eyes. He remarked, "Baby, you are done already?" without even realizing how long I had been standing there.“Yes, I was here but —" “Did you hear what I said?" He cut me off.“Yes I…I listened to what you had to say, and I would like to hear it again with an explanation, Mr. Myers," I said."Well, George had a huge crush on Charlotte and was upset that Andrew had taken her away. He has been planning to confront Andrew, but I think that is a bad idea because that could get him in trouble with Charlotte, who will not let him off the hook easily," he said, and I could not believe what I had previously believed had been verified. I knew George had something for Charlotte."Maybe you are right, Charlotte will not spare him if he does something that will annoy Andrew. I will attempt to talk to him," I proposed."No, I'll do it instead. I mean, I

    CHAPTER 166Serene I was busy setting the table when one of the maids brought the flowers into the kitchen. I didn't know what to say as Diego was the only person capable of that. I loved the surprise so I waited for Diego to come so I thanked him but he was more surprised than me. “Wait.. you are not the one that sent me this?" I asked, reacting to his shocked expression.“I didn't, but it could be one of your fans,” he said, but fear got the best of me as it was usual for them to send something without notifying me.“Maybe," I said, asking the maids to pack the roses away.I was still wondering about who the sender may be when Diego walked upstairs to change as I was putting his lunch on the tray behind him. When I entered the bedroom, I noticed Diego standing near the table, appearing uncomfortable. "Honey, is everyone OK?" I said, glancing up as I laid the tray."Yes, I am all right, just a bit fatigued," he said, attempting to deceive, but I saw through him."Really? Because my

We walked away as Max watched us in disbelief.I have given him shares in the Boston-based firm, but if he attempts to approach Serene or Miguel in any way, I will take everything away from him. Him discovering that Serene's pregnant and attempting to use that information to undermine me by revealing the truth is my worst worry. I wish I could tell Serene right now, but right now it is just not feasible. I am not sure how she will react to the news or if she'll still give me the same look. Nothing hits worse than your buried past emerging.How am I going to bear this?I was still deep in contemplation when George inquired. “Are we going to see Andrew?" “Yes, I think we're a little late but he's going to like the offer," I reacted."It is not l

    CHAPTER 164Nelly Serene anxiousness made Max and Sandra compliment me so much. Had Diego not been so near, I would have dropped over to say hello. Max got a call from Diego while we were still applauding. “What happened?" Sandra and I asked as we both stood up noticing the change in his expression.“It's Diego, he is so mad that we gave his fiancee a panic," Max responded."To hell with that fiancée thing; we are simply doing what we need to,” Sandra said, and I nodded in agreement."He stated that he would not give me the contract if I do it again," Max remarked, with anxiety in his voice.I told him to relax and enjoy the moment as we would undoubtedly touch the wrong buttons if Diego dared. Afterward, we all sat down and kept on drinking until I got a call from an unidentified number. I pretended not to see the call until I saw a text that arrived later because I was not sure if I should answer it or just ignore it as it may be David attempting to contact me. "It's Sofia White p

    CHAPTER 163Serene It was a breezy morning, and I simply had to get up early to satisfy my children's demands. I am not sure why I am so fascinated with yogurt; I thought desires were the same throughout the pregnancies like when I was carrying Miguel, ice cream could go a day without me eating it, but now it is only yogurt. “Good morning, Serene. I did not expect you to wake up this early," Grace remarked as she came into the kitchen."Hey, I just came for a drink of water and did not expect you would be up," I said."Come on, I have a grandchild, a wonderful daughter-in-law, and a foolish son to prepare breakfast for," she remarked, and we both smiled."You are such a darling; I hope you will stay longer," I murmured as Aunt Mina would come to collect her."I will if Miguel says so; he is the prettiest after all," she said, opening the fridge to retrieve some eggs.“May I be of help?" I asked as I wanted to help her to make breakfast."Sure you may, madam; I can not wait for those

    CHAPTER 162Diego I proceeded towards Max, who appeared to be standing close to a ladder. I could see his mind was full of filthy tactics, but I was not going to fall for them. “Welcome, dear nephew. I did not expect you to come alone, but it is a good thing you follow orders," he remarked, smiling at me.“What do you want?" I asked as I didn't want to waste time."Come on, do not be so difficult, or do you want me to spill the beans and get you out of Serene's life?" he inquired."Stop, you know this doesn't involve her. OK, just start talking. I need to get home," I said."OK, I want my brother's property from Boston; I need everything there, even those in your name," he continued, and I could not believe it."What?! I mean are you crazy? I can't give you or —”"Okay, I will make the damn call, and you will face the consequences of your own choices," he added, starting to dial Serene's number when I interrupted him."Look, I can not give you that property; just name the sum and I w

    CHAPTER 161Diego I have gone out to meet George while Serene is at home with Aunt Mina and Grace. I can not believe their sisters, but their behavior is just the same. I like the way they are being there for my son, playing a double grandma role. I can not wait for things to be even smoother when the girls arrive. I was still thinking about what it would be like when my family got bigger when George arrived. "Diego, do not tell me you are thinking about Ms. Brights already," he teased."Is it that obvious?” I responded."In any case, I have seven distinct suggestions and am not sure what I am going to do with the rest," George explained.“Rest?" I asked."Yes, but I have only chosen those with higher offers; I can not afford to get us on low-cost plans," he stated, but that did not sound good."Do not say such things in front of my fiancee someday; you know we have enough money to create as many various enterprises or even invest in projects, so why are you sounding greedy?" I inqui

    CHAPTER 160SereneEverything has been in place for the previous three weeks, with the exception that Neina, Charlotte, and Rina have moved into their own houses. Miguel and Diego have formed such a deep friendship, and I can only imagine how insane it will be when the triplets come. "Mommy, guess what Papa made you?" Miguel said as he raced toward me.“Careful sweetie," I responded, trying to make sure he didn't slip."I am OK, mommy; do not worry too much; I am strong now," he replied, lifting his small fists to demonstrate muscles that I could only pretend to see."Mommy, are you going to bring my sisters soon?" Miguel asked and I couldn't help but laugh."No, they are still small, but I will get them to you before you know it," I promised him."OK.. look! It's Aunt Rina,” he said, rushing to get a hug from her.“Hello everyone, hope you missed me?" she said, taking a seat next to me."Of course we did, how are you doing?” I asked."I am fine simply living the life I have always wa

    CHAPTER 159Nelly “You're so deadly for a moment I thought we were going to die in prison," I said to Max Cruz while he was just stirring his drink."Come on, I wouldn't let that happen. Diego might stand on business, but we surely have all it takes to take him down,” he said with a devilish smile.The time I spent in jail is one I don't want to remember, not even in my worst nightmare. I had to adapt to the environment without air conditioners or just everything I'm used to. For a moment, I was convinced that this was it, but Max had everything under control; he seemed to know something deeper than what Sandra and I knew because there was no way Diego got us all out just like that without Serene having any clue. Even if they seem powerful and so in love the agony that Serene bitch is about to go through is going to be worse than the first.“Hello partners," Sandra greeted as she took a seat.“You look like you just had a hot bath?" Max commented."I did; there is no way the stench fr
