CHAPTER 219

Nelly

I can not believe Serene's Managing Director had the guts to disrespect me like that, and Max, who was a shareholder in that firm, is now so worthless that they have banned him from returning.

I am only grateful security did not arrive and chase us out like dogs since the humiliation would have been horrible. I took a seat on the sofa sinking deep into my thoughts, since I still had no notion who the black-suited man's master was.

But Serene's fooling with him provided us the opportunity to receive free money simply for agreeing to work with him. I just pray nothing goes wrong, since this may be a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

Sandra yelled out my name, "Nelly Mendoza!" as she took a seat with the cushion on her legs.

“What? I do not recall inviting you to join me," I said, giving her a disdainful look.

"I know, and if it is the $100,000 that is bothering you, swallow your pride and maintain your attitude toward Sofia because I am not on your level, OK."

    CHAPTER 220Serene "Calm down, Serene; we will work something out," Kyrell replied when we arrived home."I know, but I thought this would be the end of it all, but it wasn't!" I said.“It's OK. I know how it feels, sweetie. I am sure Diablo found out and fled before we even arrived," Neina commented."How is this possible if we are the only ones who know everything?""That is a simple question to answer," Kyrell said, and I quickly caught up on his response."Wait, are you telling me that we have an inside source among us?""Yes, the possibility is high since there was no way the building could have been located unoccupied when the majority of the broken phones used to call us were discovered inside," Kyrell added."Wow, it is much more terrifying, but who could that be? I mean, we do not even let a maid hear about this type of thing?""I am not sure, but we will find out. For now, you should get some rest and prepare to catch that traitor tomorrow," Kyrell remarked as he was about

    CHAPTER 221Serene Kyrell caught me on time, and I am glad since I would be in the hospital right now if it had not been for him. After breakfast, we went to my study as usual, but something looked strange. He was not acting like himself; it was as if something had gone wrong. Knowing him, I knew he would not tell me unless I continued to probe."You should start talking already, Kyrell Harrison," I murmured, not bothering to look at him."What would you want to hear?" He answered with his gaze fixed on whatever he was now reading."I do not know. I think you are not being rational with me, and it is written all over you, Kyrell. At least I am not blind. What is going on?""Seriously, now, Serene? I think you're just overthinking. I am all right, just trying to focus," he said, but it was not convincing enough."Okay, I guess I will have to tell you that I did not buy it, so start talking and stop playing," I said, sitting up straight and facing him."Serene, my heart is aching and I

    CHAPTER 222Diego The dense air in the cell filled us with the smell of moist concrete. Our little lamp kept flickering as if replicating our heartbeats. I sat on one edge of the bed, with the small piece of paper I had written on the desk beside me. My fingers ran over the phrases I would be holding back.Serene If you are reading this, it means trouble has arrived at your doorstep, and I am sorry I can not do anything about it from behind these cells. I first doubted George, but after hearing the reports, I wish things had not ended this way.Kyrell is not who he claims to be, and neither is Charlotte. There are so many wolves in sheep's clothing in your group, and I despise the notion that they are individuals you trust. Please look away from everything and everyone.I didn't kill Selene. I swear on the lives of our unborn children. I am not sure how long it will take for the facts to emerge and prove my innocence. I want you to remember that my love for you is within. I am confi

    CHAPTER 223Serene "Hello, is not it too early for you to receive messages? What's in there?" I questioned Charlotte, who had just emerged from the door with a yellow envelope."Ah come on, I hope Grace is not aware that you are up so early," she added, hastily making her way upstairs.Kyrell's words were ready to resound in my thoughts again, but I quickly closed my eyes and reminded myself of the magnitude of the struggle I was about to embark on. I returned to my room and dressed in something comfortable before leaving the home.“Ms. Brights, where are we going?" the chauffeur asked."Take me to the site where Pete located Diablo's office," I said, and he simply rolled his eyes in protest when I assured him that nothing unpleasant would happen to me.The chauffeur began driving, and we were at the location in no time. Since I had several men keeping an eye on the premises, I stepped in while they kept their phones ready to inform me if anything suspicious occurred.I strolled int

    CHAPTER 224Serene We were now in the dining room, and Charlotte and Miguel were beaming joyfully at each other. The link felt so reciprocal that even the tiniest doubt could not enter my mind, yet the truth was something I did not want to confront. How's it possible?"Umm, Charlotte, are you sure about what you just said?" I was shocked that she had suddenly made such a big decision."Of course, Serene, I am ready for work now, and I am sure Rina would be pleased to have me around," she replied with a smile."Absolutely, but it would be tiring, so you should prepare," Neina commented before looking at me."Mommy, why can't Aunt Charlotte just work from home? I do not want to miss her ogg," Miguel complained, as we all looked at him and smiled before assuring him he would be joining our company."That is enough, everyone. The meal is growing cold; please start, particularly you," Grace remarked, pointing at me with her eyes.We all completed our meals and went to the living room to s

    CHAPTER 225SERENE We just came from Neina's burial and it still hurts. My son and daughters, along with Grace and Charlotte, who have turned into suspects, are the only people I have. I lost my right-hand gal. To what extent will I lose my battle with Diablo? How much of my fight with Diablo will I lose? I was mistaken; perhaps I should have let Rina make the news and our celebration at a family meal.“You're my best friend, Serene. I love you, please stop weeping," the words Neina would say when I was down reverberated in my thoughts.This is going to be difficult, but I need to stay strong. I made my way upstairs and discovered Charlotte sleeping on my couch. It was normal, but given the circumstances, I was confident she was fatigued. I climbed into bed and attempted to sleep, but my tears would not stop.I awoke and walked into my study, where Pete and a lab scientist were waiting for me. "Ms. Brights, we are deeply sorry for your loss.""We are here for you, madam; please le

    CHAPTER 226Serene When I entered Kyrell's messy apartment, I could only see papers from every angle. It's as if one came to a library or something. I do not understand how he can not throw away the empty vodka bottles. My heart raced as I pressed the images and video proof into Kyrell's face."I thought you were my friend, Kyrell, why?" I asked before adding, “ I trusted you Kyrell." "I never thought it…it would get this far or perhaps end up like this, Serene," he explained with an ashen expression. He only stared at me with bloodshot eyes, as if he already knew what was in the drive.“Then tell me. Right now. The truth.”He let out a ragged breath, dragging a hand down his face.“It started with a family debt. Not your uncle's— mine.” He hesitated, then met my gaze. "My family owes the same individuals that your uncle did. The Mafia Lord isn’t working alone. There’s someone else… someone higher.”“Who?” I reacted at the sound of that.“I don’t know.

Is everything okay?” I asked, looking at him confused.“No!” He went down on one knee and said, "Nothing is fine unless you accept my proposal.""Diego,” I whispered."Serene Brights, will you marry me and make me the happiest man in the world?" he begged, tears streaming down his cheeks and his lips shivering.“Ye…yes I will…I will marry you," I murmured, helping him get up as we hugged.“Woo!"

Grace and Rina were racing up and down making sure nothing went wrong since this was a ceremony they did not want to ruin at any cost.Miguel exclaimed, "The priest is here!" and everyone moved to greet him."Be blessed, my kid," he whispered, resting his hand on top of Miguel and offering him a sweet.“Mommy, can I give the girls some?" Miguel asked about breaking the sweet."Oh no, baby, you'll give them plenty when they grow," I smiled.We went to sit around the fire as the priest started the ritual. He sprinkled olive oil on their foreheads and smiled at them."Great riches and power are within their destiny, and joy will always be a part of it, but dark times will come," he warned, causing my heart to skip a beat before he added, "But they are strong

    CHAPTER 233Serene I awoke to the sound of a little scream coming from one of the cradles and rushed out of bed, only to find Diego already cradling the baby who had awoken.“Hey that was fast," I smiled."I know, madam, you can sleep," he said, carefully turning her from side to side."No, maybe I need to feed her," I said, preparing to take her from him when she began sobbing."I think she wants to remain with Daddy," Diego murmured, and I smiled, wondering how she had already taken sides.I am not sure how I fell asleep, but I woke up every time a small cry sounded from the crib. The next morning, we all prepared to travel to New York. "Mommy, I hope you will snap plenty of pictures of my sisters when we get on the plane," Miguel stated as we climbed into the Van."Yes, my darling," I said as I brushed his curly hair.We arrived at the runway and boarded the plane. "Goodness, I can not wait to get to New York," George said."Me neither," Rina murmured, going to rest on his shoulde

Could he be the father of the two angels we saw?” The reporter remarked this as she zoomed in on a shot of Serene and me strolling with the girls."Gosh, these folks never miss an opportunity to create a trend," Serene commented, taking a seat next to me, but I had to ask if she needed anything since the prospect of her fighting an entire nuclear war alone terrified me.“No, I'm OK. You're acting strange lately, are you OK?” she asked."Yes, but I have been thinking about something, and you do not have to agree if you are not ready," I answered when she asked for my opinion."After everything you have been through, I was thinking about you going to therapy." You have been through a lot. I just want you to be OK.”“OK, I'll. Anything else?" She aske

"Good morning," Diego said, strolling in with flowers in his hands."Hello, where have you slept?" Rina had informed me he had not gone home, so I inquired."Umm, somewhere safe. I can not go home until I know it is safe for everyone, but for now, we need to get your belongings together and go," he stated."Finally, they are going to meet their brother and grandmother," I grinned.I watched Diego prepare my bags as I calmed the girls down after they began weeping."Ms. Brights, you appear to be in for a lot of fun," observed the doctor as he strolled in."Definitely, but I will be around, so it will be fantastic," Diego said, as the doctor nodded and walked away.Pete walked in and assisted Diego with our belongings, as I made my way to the car behind them.

How dare you do this to me in my own home?" Sofia replied."You are stupid for not double-checking the property paperwork. This is a house Serene bought for me, but I asked her to give it to you because I knew I would need it on a day like today, so do not push it or I will kick your ass out right now," Charlotte said, flinging Sofia to the floor.Max, Sandra, and I looked at each other in sh

I was lying on my bed with my kids next to me, unable to stomach having them removed.“Ms. Brights, that was amazing. We have not seen situations where women give birth two months earlier to healthy kids like these," the doctor stated as he strolled in, taking notes and looking at my girls while I smiled.Just as I thought stillness would reign, two small screams filled the room, and Rina whispered gently."They’re perfect," she whispered.Wow. Perfection is something I never expected to find again after all the relationships I had broken and the loved ones I lost. If Neina had waited a little longer before drinking, she may have seen the two angels she desired to see so badly.I sat up straight after looking at my beautiful pink-cheeked infants, who were deep asleep.“Would you like something?" Rina asked, standing up already.

Just as we were about to reach the hospital, a terrible pain struck me, and I could not help but scream as the pain intensified "We are almost there, Serene; hang in there," Kyrell murmured, pressing his palm across my back, but my body was crumbling, while my heart was already broken.Just as we were getting out of the car, George raced up to us and helped Kyrell hold me until the nurse provided a wheelchair. “Stay with us, Serene; You're going to be OK." Little did we know that trouble had already reached us. They took me inside as soon as I arrived at the maternity ward. Pete stormed into the room, revolver pulled and
