CHAPTER 151Diego Waking up on Serene's couch is so comfortable, and getting to make breakfast for her and my son is something I want to do every day. When I returned to Max's mansion, I only came to get my bags, so I moved into a hotel; I could not leave under the roof over a wolf who might kill me one day. I greeted Grace, who appeared to be both sad and happy that I was moving out. "You better get them for me," she whispered, hugging me.“I will not worry," I responded."Do not lose focus, Sonia," I said, hugging her too."I won't you take care,” she said, kissing my cheek when Nelly walked in.“Diego, are you leaving? I mean what's with all these bags?" she asked."Nothing, Nelly; I am just going to get some privacy," I replied."Where? I mean, this mansion is large enough to accommodate everyone. Where are you going?" she asked.“Yes, Diego, where are you going?" my uncle asked, as he walked in."I am moving out to have my privacy," I explained."What? No, you know we have all
CHAPTER 152SereneI was on my way to check on the current status of my hotel when I noticed a waitress attempting to force herself on Diego. I was so furious that I almost fired her for being so unethical with our customers. I told them to treat everyone with respect, and given Diego's state, I could not help but rush to his aid, even though a part of me wanted to back away. He was always drunk when things didn't go well, so I knew something was up.When he told me what had happened, I called George to learn more and see how I could help. I realize it sounded stupid, but I was not doing it for Diego. I could not bear the thought of his late father's time being wasted on Myers Enterprise. Even after assisting him, something else made me nervous—lab results.I just found out I am pregnant and have no idea what will happen next. I am not sure whether I should be
CHAPTER 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 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 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 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 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 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 150Serene I walked away since I could tell Diego was uncomfortable and Sofia appeared to be excited. I stood back and just admired how happy Charlotte and Neina appeared to be with their partners. Could such joy not locate me? Max smiled and blocked my way, so I considered walking away since I didn't want to be around him. "Ms. Brights, you look adorable tonight," he commented. "Thank you, Mr. Cruz; you do not look bad either," I said, about to walk away as he held my hand.“Uhmm sorry, how about we have a dance?" He said, but I was not in the mood, so I refused."Some other time, I have to get to something," I replied, walking away.Why would Max want us to dance when I do not want anything to do with him? Rina should have come here to dance with him because she likes rich men. I had not even finished thinking when I answered her video call. " Hey Rina, what a surprise?” I said as I didn't expect her to call."Calm down, madam, I know that reaction; did you turn down Max?"
