CHAPTER 15Serene "Ms. Brights, come down," he said, beckoning the waiter to come.I did not come to have long chats; I just wanted to return his presents and make it plain that I am very uncomfortable with how he is acting. I cleared my throat and could not dispute that the meal delivered by the server smelled excellent, but I could not bring myself to touch it."Is everything okay?" he questioned, twisting his pasta and looking at me."Yes, everything is good, Mr. Cruz. I just wanted to tell you something.""Oh, I see; I would rather that you call me Max," he insisted."Okay, Max, I would like to explain things," I said sincerely."You sound serious, Ms. Brights; what is bothering you?"“Mr. Cruz I would like to tell you that I am quite uncomfortable with the way you have been acting around me lately," I said, taking a deep breath."What?""I am not interested in getting things from you," I said, staring into his eyes."Come down, Ms. Brights; I think you are taking things incorrec

CHAPTER 16Diego 'I am not sure if I am overreacting or Nelly is not simply keeping up with making the room look presentable. Everything is simply laying about, and it is so untidy that I sometimes have to look for spoiled food in the room. Things like these make me wish she had some of Serene's attributes, like how she always made sure the room was beautifully organized and everything was in its place. I told myself this while I sat in my library."Diego!" Nelly called while I was in the library.I found her comfortably situated on the couch, I raced to find out what she needed. "Look, I wish it was just the two of us," she said, pointing to the television, which showed a family joyfully smiling in the Himalayas. "What do you mean, we should start a family?""No, not at all—I mean, not right now; I simply wanted us to travel there for our honeymoon," she answered."Uhm OK, I thought you wanted us to start a family," I responded."Diego, please do not start; you know what my reacti

CHAPTER 17Diego It is 2 a.m., and Nelly has not yet come home. I realize that she enjoys freedom, but she didn't have to leave until this late. Every day, New York becomes more dangerous, and it is no longer safe to go outside. Being with Nelly appears to be a source of stress, but what can I do? I do not want to lose her for the second time; I am confident she will change with time. I walked downstairs and watched my favorite series, hoping to hear a knock on the door, but there was none. I attempted to make some breakfast despite my dislike for cooking, but for Nelly, I began to compromise somewhat.I strolled into the bedroom and put some items back in the closet as I remembered how Serene did it. I straightened the vase of flowers at the window and packed Nelly's shoes where Serene normally placed hers. Time was passing, and Nelly had not yet returned home; perhaps I should go check where she is, I reasoned, and grabbed my vehicle keys. Just as I approached the main door, I coul

CHAPTER 18Serene I am far too late for work. I only hope my agents did all I requested them to do. I instantly got up and requested that the driver pick me up within the next 40 minutes. I dashed into the shower and opened the faucet, allowing the warm water to flow down my skin. I could sense my baby's movements. 'Calm down, little one, mother is going to get ready for work,' I whispered in my head. I finished quickly and grabbed a towel to dry myself. I promptly went to my room and sorted through my clothing. My hair was still wet, so I hurriedly blew it dry and attempted to curl it. My makeup was almost done, so I dressed up and applied it fast. I stepped in front of the dressing mirror and could not believe how beautiful I looked.I could not help but smile when I realized I looked like a model. 'Seems like it is starting to show,' I said, referring to my pregnancy. I picked up my heels and put them on. Since all of the paperwork I needed was downstairs, I went to the kitchen an

CHAPTER 19Serene "Thank you both for coming. There is a problem that has to be addressed," the boss stated, clearing his throat and focusing on me.I gave myself a quick peek. unsure about where that is going. I tried my hardest to tell Mr. Cruz I was not interested in whatever he was attempting to do with me, but he kept sending gifts."Oh? Is it about business or something else?" Mr. Cruz inquired of the boss, very likely anticipating the direction of the conversation.The boss' eyes narrowed slightly, and his attitude remained calm."Mr. Cruz, I believe you are aware of the situation at hand. Your... conduct toward Miss Brights has created worries."The sound of it made me feel slightly uncomfortable since I knew this wouldn't have happen if Mr. Cruz had stopped when I first refused, and none of this would have happened at all."Sir, I sincerely apologize if this is creating any problems. I have tried to be courteous about it,” I explained "Courteous? Ms. Brights, come on. A sm

CHAPTER 20Serene I now see why Sir was so protective of me at the meeting with Mr. Cruz; the manner he held me conveyed an entirely different message. Two men are now in love with me. I do not even understand what this is about anymore; maybe I should simply resign my work since I can not be a trophy. The idea of quitting my job doesn't appeal to me because I had been wanting to work for this firm for nearly three years. I will simply get myself together and concentrate on what I need to do.I opened my computer and reviewed the document that my agent had provided me. I rectified certain errors and returned them to them. My door opened, and the agent who likes Mr. Cruz entered. I could tell she had gossip or really nasty recommendations, so I asked her to go because I was busy, but she assured me she was not coming to make trouble."Should I bring the quarterly reports you requested?" She inquired as I continued to focus on my task. "Just leave them on the boss's table. I will get

CHAPTER 21Diego It has been 9 months, and living with Nelly seems like a huge mistake. I am doing everything I can to make our relationship steady, but she only gives me red signals. How do I go about becoming a maid in my own home? I can't even see the love and devotion she had anymore, except when she comes to demand money for unnecessary items; I have spent almost $5 million in just 9 months of being with Nelly. I do not recall the last time I came home and felt loved; it was either I stayed at work late or went to sleep in the hotel room. Back then, with Serene, I did not have to think about anything but business."Sir, is everything okay?" George inquired while searching through some files."Yes, I am OK; I am just a bit fatigued," I replied, taking a sip from my drink."That is intriguing; the night must have been long, Huh?" He teased me."No, it's not what you think; I have just had a lot on my mind recently.""I see so much weight on a man's shoulders," he observed, bowing

CHAPTER 22Diego"George, you and I both know Serene would never return to London after what happened following her father's death. I believe Charlotte is just toying with you," I said after careful deliberation."But, Sir, I saw them talking on a vi—I cut him off and quickly began talking about business. We researched a concept for which we intended to collaborate with the "Katarayo agency from London." I am not sure why their marketing agent shared the things Serene taught my agents too, but everything appeared to be nicely written and just like what my agent would submit to me."Uhmm, sir, this report appears to be succinct and to the point," George said after we had gone over the plan."Yes, I believe we will do well together if we can reach an agreement with them; their team works similarly to ours." I responded.My phon

CHAPTER 208Serene When the lights went out at the hotel, I panicked for a bit, but the cops arrived in time. Butas not sure about Kyrell because he was the last person I expected to see. Everyone left and I was now only left with Rina and Kyrell. "I guess we should get going now," I replied, standing up and about to walk away when Kyrell reached for my hand.Perhaps he meant it reassuringly, so I smiled without overreacting. Rina stepped behind us, clearing her throat, but I was convinced she was mocking me. “Uhmm, Ms. Brights, can we have a word?" Charlotte asked and I turned around to hear what she had to say."I think it is about time I go to my apartment," she remarked, and I truly wanted to disagree, but I had to since I was only going to let her go there when she felt stable.“Are you sure?” I asked."Yes, I am ready," she said, but it was not convincing enough."Look you can go but are you sure you are fine to stay alone?’” I asked again and she assured me.“OK fine," I re

CHAPTER 207Nelly Soft instrumental music played in the background, while the aroma of sandalwood and lavender filled the air. The beds and silk drapes dividing the rooms were bathed in a golden glow from the lighting of the private parlor. Kyrell Harrison's muscles eased as he lay shirtless for a massage. I figured he must have come to relieve some of his tension and make the contributions. However, everything fell apart as we locked eyes."Kyrell Harrison," I grinned as I approached him, Sofia following."Nelly Mendoza, what a surprise; I knew you were here but did not expect to see you," he remarked, his gaze fixed on Sofia, and I prayed he did not suspect anything. “Oh, come now, Kyrell. We just happened to run into each other at the same moment. Isn't it a great coincidence?" I inquired, but Sofia chose to talk rather than wait for me to signal. “We were thinking… All those judicial skirmishes must have made you nervous. Wouldn't it be good to have someone personally look af

CHAPTER 206Serene The home felt empty, so I took a walk around the empty rooms while Miguel played with Grace. Even though my kid was becoming more and more obsessed with Wakanda, I felt that Namibia would be the best destination after the drama was over.A destination for aesthetic people. I asked Mr. Simon to send me the statistics data because I wanted the most recent information on Katarayo's progress, but I was not even surprised by what I saw. If his shares are not making any money, why in the world is he there? Which could only mean one thing.I quickly scheduled a meeting at the Hotel Bright Lights, and despite Mr. Simon's persistent calls, I declined to respond because we both knew what would happen next. I have done my best to be tolerant and patient with his issues, but it seems like he is abusing my generosity.I hurriedly changed and was ready to take the final step when I noticed Kyrell, who appeared to be grinning at me like never before.“What's with all the excite

CHAPTER 205Diego We were eating breakfast in the cafeteria when I heard a loud bang and noticed my food had been tossed to the floor by this large, heavy, tattooed guy who appeared to be ready to pound my face if I said anything. "Hey, hey, what are you doing? Get back to your seat," the guard yelled, standing between us. At this point, I was ready to be a beast.“Fight! Fight!" The other prisoner kept yelling, but my companion quickly pulled me back."Be cautious, he has killed roughly ten people here; being targeted by him could only mean one thing," he continued, and I needed to know what brought that elephant figure to me."That your enemies want you dead in here, and nobody else performs the job better than him," my pal cautioned, and I could tell by looking at him that death was all he had to offer.Could Serene want me dead? Or is it my damn uncle? Serene would never want my death, at least not while she was still alive; therefore, it was certainly my uncle.Everyone comple

CHAPTER 204Serene “Ms. Brights please it's not what you think I was just —" “Mia, you'll answer the cops. I can not believe you would try to drug my son's drink after everything," I said, shaking my head in surprise.Mia was like a sister to us. There was nothing she did not know about us, but discovering that she was the traitor in our midst felt like a horrible dream, and the fact that she was closest to my kid just made things worse. I would find a new reason to keep Miguel occupied before admitting that she would never come back in agony. "It is OK, Serene; at least we captured her," Neina murmured, caressing my back."Yeah, I know," I answered, brushing away my tears as I walked to collect my son, who was looking at cartoons. I am not sure how he became addicted, but all of his downloads revolved around it, and the many types of coloring books were something I had to get.“Mommy, why did I see the cops here?" Miguel asked, his little face drowning in worry."It is nothing, ho

CHAPTER 203Serene Charlotte and her ways of getting to cheer me up are just so crazy. I can not believe I returned Diego's ring and now have nothing linked to me other than the children. But now that he's away all his children are mine. We stepped into the massage parlor, and the agents were ecstatic to see us.I did not like the attention and begged the guards to fetch me my veil, but Charlotte appeared to be enjoying it. We headed to the VIP section, where the agents were getting their items ready.I would have lay down like Charlotte, but it was a bit uncomfortable. The ladies finished giving him massages, and the owner presented some proposals for donations, which they were asking me to attend. I promised them that someone would come from my department to attend. We returned to the car, and another call from the devil came through.“Aren't you going to pick that?" Charlotte inquired, sensing my ignorance about the approaching call."Nah, that does not matter; let us be going b

CHAPTER 202Diego I reached the visiting area and saw her sitting in the distance. The entire room was vacant, and I could not believe he had done everything for me. Serene was one of the most difficult people to persuade, but Kyrell was incredibly successful in bringing her here. She eventually turned around to face me, and our gazes locked. I could feel my heart melting and shivers covering my entire body. I am not sure what my eyes were doing at her lips, but seeing Serene was the best moment in jail."Hi," she said without a grin, and I was not expecting one, but all I wanted to do was take those hands and kiss them."How are you doing? I never thought I would see you again.”"I am OK, and this moment has to come, so now that it is here, we have to confront it," she answered.I could sense the anguish in her voice and could not believe she was so brave. I am probably among the last people she wants to see."I'm sorry for everything. I hope you find it to forgive me someday,” I

CHAPTER 201Serene “Are you OK?" Kyrell asked."Yes, I am fine here," I responded, handing him the paperwork and ordering the guards to lead him out.I headed back upstairs, feeling exhausted and drowsy. Pregnancy troubles are becoming increasingly apparent. I went to check on Mia, suspecting she was in her room, but she was not there. When I questioned the maids about her, they said she had gone to get something for her parents, which was unusual because she would typically let me know. "Ms. Brights, were you not meant to be opening the gift?" Rina inquired, and I knew exactly what she was after.“I'll do it later. Do you need anything?" I asked her.“No, I just thought you wouldn't want it anymore, I mean —" "Guess you are mistaken," I interrupted her and walked away, ignoring her chuckle.I stepped into my room and had a shower before dressing comfortably and sitting on my balcony. Aunt Mina strolled in with a tray in her hands as I was savoring the sights. These individuals

CHAPTER 200Serene After a few hours, I awoke, feeling better, and discovered Neina sleeping next to me. I attempted to get out of bed without touching her, but she caught me nonetheless."Hey," I said, attempting to make everything appear normal."Hello, how are you feeling, and do you need anything?" she asked, sitting up straight."No, I am OK," I responded, but she gave me a strange look."You felt ill in the office; did Kyrell do anything?" she inquired."No, he didn't; I was just browsing through the files when I had that sense; perhaps I was just weary," I said."Exactly why you should put all of this on hold to focus on keeping those kids healthy, Serene please.""I am well, Neina, but I can not stop worrying about what will happen if we do not stop Diablo right now it could be late.""Look, you need to take your prescription now; we will speak about everything tomorrow," she added, handing me my pills." Thanks, love you.”"No you don't,” she joked.I went to check how Migue
