CHAPTER 26

Serene

Finally, I have a day off so I can spend time talking with the girls without interruptions. Work has been so frenetic now that Cruz has removed his shareholdings and it's beginning to impact all of us. The boss appears gloomy at times, but I am not sure why he is often in my office. I am feeling quite uncomfortable with all of this. I tried calling Charlotte, but she was not answering, so I switched to Neina, who answered right away.

"Hello," I said to her.

"Hello, Serene. I have missed you, girl; how are you and the baby?" She asked.

"That sounded like it was already here; we are both OK, and I missed you too," I said.

"So, how are things going? I hope you are not still worrying about that animal." She mentioned this referring to Diego.

"No, I am not, do not be so harsh; he is still a human being," I said.

"Animal being, you mean?" Charlotte added.

"What are the two of you together?" I asked.

"Yes, she arrived last night, and I can not wait for her to leave so I ca

    CHAPTER 27Serene Wow, things are becoming extremely spooky out here. My boss had just departed, and I wanted to inform the girl about what had transpired. I phoned Charlotte fast, and she answered after a second."Wow, girl that was fast," I said with a smile."Finally, we have been waiting for your call," she responded as Neina waved her hand."I see, nevertheless, you two almost got caught me," I remarked, as they both looked confused."Caught in what, and what exactly was he doing at your place?" Charlotte asked."He was here to greet, he claimed, and he must have overheard our conversation in the kitchen earlier," I continued, as they both looked surprised."Then, what did he say?" Charlotte asked."Oh, nothing; he simply acted like a normal man.""See what your loud tongue almost did to my closest friend," Neina stated, glancing at Charlotte.I smiled at how juvenile the two of them were before telling them that Cruz had broken relations with the corporation, which was affectin

    CHAPTER 28Serene It has been 9 months and my stomach has finally started to show; practically everyone is surprised that I have been pregnant for so long, but I do not care what others say; all that counts is that my baby is on the way. As usual, I stepped inside my office and took off my shoes to put on my slippers. I immediately took my seat and started working; the door opened, and I knew who it was—Rina. I was certain she had come to irritate me, so I told her to go without looking up, but she did not move an inch."Rina I am extremely busy; I will talk to you later," I said, but the individual remained standing, so I immediately glanced up and noticed the boss. I am not sure why she seemed to be smiling at me."Sir," I said, preparing to rise up, but he stopped me."No, do not do that, Ms. Brights; please have a seat," he insisted."Umm OK," I responded, taking my seat. He took the chair on the other side of the desk and took his seat. I could sense he wanted to chat about som

    CHAPTER 29Diego Finally, things have gone well, if not smoothly. The last time the authorities discovered drugs in my home, I mean, what the heck is going on with Nelly? How could she have returned the erroneous item just to bring it to my house? Fortunately, the inspector and I are very good friends; otherwise, she would have been in trouble. I was resting on my bed, watching a movie about a happy family on vacation. I am not sure why, but I thought it was sweet to see how pleased they were. Since Nelly has been behaving neutral, I felt it is appropriate to bring up the subject again. "Honey," I whispered gently, shifting her face to my side of the bed."Yes, what is up?" she said with a smile."I was thinking about something we discussed about 8 months ago, and it has been on my mind, you know," I added, wanting to appear impartial."Uhuh, what is it, sweetie? Talk to me," she murmured, running her hands over my hair."I think I am ready to have children," I told her, hoping for

    CHAPTER 30Serene Four Years Later It's unbelievable that I have achieved this level of success in such a short amount of time. I was on the verge of being fired by my employer following Miguel's birth due to unfounded accusations made by a few agents from a different department, but I eventually came clean when an investigation was conducted. I bought the shares that Mr. Cruz withdrew because I wanted to spend more time with my child and became one of the company's biggest investors. I invested all of my earnings into other companies and also bought property on which I built my restaurants. It was not long until all four were done and everything began to run smoothly.I know how difficult it would have been for a mother like me, but thankfully, my father taught me how to succeed in the business world, and all of those abilities let me accomplish well and excel. When I look back in time, I wish my father had waited longer and not given Diego his kidney, but that would have prevented

    CHAPTER 31Diego The past few days have been so stable and peaceful, that I am not sure why Nelly and Nora got into an argument; I have been with Nora for years, Serene has never complained about anything missing, but Nelly claims that one of the gifts I bought her in Dubai was found in Nora's bag; I have not spoken to Nora yet to hear her side of the story. If we lose her now, I do not think Nelly can handle everything on her alone. The last time I looked, things were simply a shambles without Nora. My office door opened, and George strolled in with a smile. I could tell he had excellent news for me, so I begged him to tell me now."Sir, we recently obtained our contract from KATARAYO CONSULTING AGENCIES in London," he explained."What?" I answered while standing on my feet."Yes, sir, we did; please confirm," George answered, handing me the paperwork.I swiftly grabbed them, and we hurled them. I could not believe they responded after 15 years since I was still married to Serene at

    CHAPTER 32Diego The next morning, I awoke with a hangover, but Charlotte's words remained in my thoughts. "Has Serene given birth?"I got out of bed and grabbed my phone to contact George before walking into the shower. I finished taking a shower and went downstairs to cook breakfast but could not since the kitchen was so disorganized. I was not used to doing chores, so I requested the agency in charge of sending me a house help to send one. I went to sit on my couch, but Charlotte's words kept ringing in my thoughts.'No, that is unbelievable; how could Serene have a child?' I asked myself.Just a few minutes later, the maid came, and I told her everything she needed to do before heading back to the living room, where I found George. "Good morning, Sir. I hope you feel better today. The quarrel you and Charlotte had yesterday was quite embarrassing," George added."Has Charlotte mentioned anything about Serene having a child?" I asked."No, she just said she was having a great time

    CHAPTER 34Serene After my recent encounter with Cruz, I am starting to sense chemistry, but I am not sure if I should go ahead and say yes. I am not sure if Miguel is even ready to have another man staying with us as his father. I do not want to make a hasty decision; even if Cruz is a nice man who would adore my baby unconditionally, I just want to be alone with Miguel until he is old enough. Rina texted me while I was still racing through my thoughts. I checked her massaged status before responding. As usual, she asked me to arrive early since we were having a board meeting.The next morning, I awoke and made Miguel's breakfast; even though I have a maid, I prefer to cook my son's breakfast every day before I go to work. When I was done, I got dressed for work and went to kiss him while he was still sleeping. He was adorable and innocent; the fact that he resembled Diego reminded me of his father, but I did my hardest to suppress that sensation. After the kiss, I went to greet Mig

    CHAPTER 34Serene What should I do now? I cannot believe Charlotte would be that reckless. She knows how powerful Diego is; I am not sure whether I am safe anymore. Damn, the day was already going terribly; first, I was told we had signed a contract with his firm, and now he knows about Miguel. My pulse was beating as Rina stood in front of me, wondering what was wrong. "Ma'am, is everything okay?" she asked, but what could I possibly tell her? "Please get the car ready; we are leaving," I responded, and she walked out instantly. Diego would find me in minutes if not seconds, so I needed to hurry home and take Miguel away if necessary. I grabbed my handbag and headed for the vehicle. The guard opened the door, and I jumped inside.My thoughts were scattered, and I did not appear to be at peace. Charlotte tried to call, but I could not answer. When we arrived home, I hurried into the house. I walked into the living room, but it was completely vacant. "Miguel," I yelled, anticipating a

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

    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

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

"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

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 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 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 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
