CHAPTER 120

Serene

I am just wondering why Nelly needed permission to sleep in his room. I mean, she is the only woman Diego would divorce just to have in his life. Perhaps I did not hear that correctly. I pulled the blanket over my feet and slowly closed my eyes as my mind went blank, and I found myself in my dreams before I knew it.

"Serene!" echoed a voice behind me, and I could not believe my mother was calling out to me.

"Mom," I replied, quickly turning to walk to the location where that voice came from.

“Serene!" I heard the voice again and paused as someone touched my shoulder.

"Mom," I replied, quickly turning to hug her.

"Serene, my child, look at you. I cannot believe you worked so hard. I am extremely proud of you, and so is your father," she said, looking down.

"Really? Where is Dad, and why did he not accompany you?” I questioned.

"He will come to see you when the time is right. I just came to tell you, that Diego—" she said, holding my hand.

  • Her Ex-husband's Regret   CHAPTER 121

    CHAPTER 121Nelly I am so enraged that I can not understand how that whore dared to call Diego her man. Does she even know who I am? I mean, she is supposed to, because no one in London wasn't aware of Diego and I's relationship. "Good morning, Ms. Mendoza; breakfast is ready," Grace announced as she entered my room."Uh, thank you. I will be there shortly," I said before she left and dashed to call her back."Yes, is there anything you would like me to do?" she inquired."Yes, I would like you to iron this dress for me. I have a special occasion after breakfast," I responded"Okay," she said and began ironing the dress.‘Gosh, how am I going to get information out of this old hag?’ I asked myself at the back of my mind.I had cleared my throat and was about to speak when Grace interrupted. "Would you like to say something?" she asked me."No, I just wanted to apologize for the mess I made in the kitchen; I had not been there in years," I lied.“It's OK I understand, my dear, but as a

    CHAPTER 122Diego Katarayo is holding its annual festival, and Mr. Simon sent me an invitation. I am not sure if I am going or not now that Nelly is here; she is the last person Serene wants to see me with. I am not sure why she had to follow me to the garden in the first place; I simply needed to be alone. My thoughts were still far away as I stood next to the kitchen counter. "Diego, what is the problem?" Grace asked."It is nothing, just business," I pretended to walk away before she said, "It is so stressful to have all your problems in one house, huh?” "No, I am not just thinking about the festival tomorrow.”"Oh, you got an invitation too; I wonder who you will take among those 2 lazy women," she laughed."No way, I'll not be going with them.”"Okay, maybe the actress?" She questioned teasingly."Not even her; may I take you instead?" I asked."Me? No way, I already have a handsome gentleman on my list, and he does not appear to be you," she replied."Come on Grace, I am the o

    CHAPTER 123SereneThe festival was alive with elegance, as it unfolded in a display of wealth and prestige. The lights dripped with crystals, their gleam reflecting off the polished glowing floors as the most well-known members of high society gathered, their laughter and conversation penetrating a refined atmosphere. Then it was time for me to come out, and it felt as if time had stopped for a moment as silence fell over the room, and all I could hear were whispers and the clicking of cameras as everyone turned to look at my entrance.I walked down the staircase, each step deliberate and calculated, as the soft fabric of my gown cascaded behind me like a river of light. This was not just any ordinary dress I would wear for an occasion; it was a masterpiece created by Deluca Haute Couture using thousands of rare diamonds, each perfectly aligned to catch and refract light in every motion. It complimented my figure perfectly, with intricate detailing that flowed seamlessly into the shim

    CHAPTER 124Nelly "Wait a minute, are you seeing what I see?" I asked Max."No, what is the matter, Nelly?" he said."Calm down; I am just looking at Sonia over there," I replied, pointing to her.“What! Isn’t she supposed to be with Diego?" Max asked, looking at me."Exactly, partner; it appears that someone has abandoned shame," I replied, as we both laughed.I suggested that we go greet her, and Max followed. I could tell she was lost and was looking around for Diego, who might have gone home. "Hello, do you want company?" I teased as Max rubbed against my shoulder.“Yes, but not from you, Nelly," she replied."You know, things would have been different if you had asked Diego to be accompanied by me instead of looking around like someone who did not come here, with Diego," I said."That is true, but the truth is that you are saying it out of jealousy, Nelly; since he knows he came with me, he will undoubtedly come back for me," she said confidently."Wow, looks like that dress giv

    CHAPTER 125Serene "Sweetie, are you okay?" I asked Miguel when he awoke from his nap."Yes, Mommy, I am fine; did that bad aunty come for you?" He inquired, his gaze fixed on my hand.“No, not at all, sweetie. She wouldn't dare…I mean she didn't." I quickly corrected my statement.My heart was still racing as if a piece of me had been removed. I was still dancing with Diego when I overheard Miguel speaking to someone over the microphone. Since the voice sounded familiar, I turned up the volume and recognized Nelly's voice in the background, which sounded furious. Before she could even do anything. I checked his location and went to where they were standing. I held her hand on time and could not resist giving her a slap for attempting to hit my child.“Serene!" The door opened, and Charlotte, Neina, and Rina entered.“We heard what happened, did that —" "Charlotte," I cut her off, indicating that I did not want Miguel to hear anything.“Miguel, should I get you some candy?"

    CHAPTER 126Nelly Max is very upset with me because I fainted in front of Ms. Brights. I mean serene. She has worked hard to make a name for herself. I do not think she got married; if she had, her surname would have changed. ‘Does Max even know about this?' I asked myself as I awoke and went to stand on the balcony. I felt like something was haunting me from within, 'The Diamond Empress!' Serene's voice echoed through my head.I still could not believe what my eyes had seen, and I am not sure why my heart beats so fast whenever I think about it. "Damn," I exclaimed, throwing the vase next to me to the floor, causing it to break.I returned to my room and did not feel like sleeping, so I went to see what everyone else was doing. I put on my slippers and made my way outside. As I approached the stairs, I heard some chuckles from downstairs and went to see what was going on, when I discovered Max and Sandra drinking champagne.“Somebody is finally awake.

    CHAPTER 127Diego Things are about to get crazy, and my time here is up. I thought Nelly was brave enough, but Serene's slap completely demoralized me from messing with her again. I am so glad the headlines were not about me at the festival; otherwise, my partners would be extremely disappointed. After putting Nelly to bed, I had to go to sleep at Serene's house because she wanted to fulfill Miguel's request. My son is making every effort to secure me a spot there. "Mia, did you already take Miguel's breakfast to him?" I asked her as we met in the living room."No, Sir Ms. Brights is the one who makes Miguel breakfast every day," she replied, leaving me wondering how that was possible given Serene's workload."I see, I guess I will be the one making it today," I said, asking the maids to assist me in gathering the necessary ingredients. I was so focused on making breakfast that I did not notice Miguel behind me. "Daddy, are you a chef?" I heard him ask from behind me."Hey champ, I d

    CHAPTER 128Serene We all went down to have breakfast, and something did not seem right, but I ignored it and ate my food. Miguel could not stop looking at Diego, and I wondered what the two of them were up to. "Good morning, Ms. Brights and Mr. Myers; what a surprise?" Rina said as she walked in and joined us for breakfast."Hello, you seem exhausted; perhaps you should take the day off," I suggested.“What? No, the client I will meet with today is very—” I knew what she was going to say but cut the sentence because Diego was nearby, but Miguel appeared to be updated and finished it for her instead. "Loaded, you meant to say Aunt Rina?" he inquired, as she drew her gaze to mine."Yes, sweetie, he is loaded with a lot of information," she replied, trying to take it all in."You are still hunting, right?" Diego asked her, and I wondered how he knew."Not really, I am just looking out for my future," she said, taking a bite of her sandwich.“Wait, who made this breakfast?" Neina inqui

    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

  • Her Ex-husband's Regret   CHAPTER 166

    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

    CHAPTER 165Diego “It's good you made a great choice son," Max said, smiling at me.“You don't deserve to call me that just go," I responded.“Take it easy you know I—" "George, we need to leave,” I said to Max after putting on my spectacles. 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?"

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

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
