CHAPTER 27

Serene

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

    CHAPTER 35Diego When I looked at the photo of Serene and a small boy that the Detective had handed me, my heart softened and raced. I am not sure why I was so sure he was mine, despite George's doubts. I could feel a deep tie between the child and me. "Sir, will you be attending the meeting in Texas?" George inquired."No, book me the next flight to London," I responded, walking upstairs to gather my belongings."Sir, that is impossible at this hour. All the flights headed there have already gone," George stated, stepping up behind me.I turned back and glanced at him before continuing, "George, make sure I am in London within the next 24 hours. Figure it out on your own, OK.""Sir, this is a tough task, and I am not even sure how I will go about it; perhaps you should—I cut him off."There is no room for any maybes; I am sure I pay you handsomely, so get me a damn jet to London right now," I said, this time more seriously.

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

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

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

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

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."
