CHAPTER 30

Serene

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. He walked downstairs without saying anything, while I wen

    CHAPTER 36Diego After that chat with George, I could not get myself to eat. I simply got some juice and waited for George to take me to the airport. I have done all kinds of awful things to Serene emotionally; I have never touched her physically to beat her or do anything that would leave marks on her body, but the amount of mental torment I have inflicted on her has begun to plague me. I truly was a monster to the one woman who accepted me for who I was. My ignorance prompted me to divorce her for Nelly, but I was simply being imprisoned.Everything was a nightmare during the years I was without Serene; I had to compromise because I hoped Nelly would change her ways, but she just became worse by the day. I do not regret spending millions on her in a week; I simply regret making the wrong decision in the first place. I was still wondering if Serene and her son would ever forgive me. "Sir, calm down; you are thinking too much," George said, shaking my shoulder."You will not understa

My body began to quiver, and I became uneasy; all I wanted was for George not to implicate my uncle but he did. We went into the living room and drank coffee together, while the maid went to arrange my room. We conversed a little."So, are you sure you are only here for business?" Cruz inquired again, his voice concealing his interest."Yes, that is correct; I am simply here for that," I replied, my confidence shining through."So, what is the name of the firm you will be working with?" he asked."It is a KATARAYO Agency; I hope you know about it," I replied."Oh, yeah, I do, but why would you want to waste my father's money on companies like that? I mean, is everyone eager to work with you" He questioned."I want to gain a wider reputation for myself; governing New York is not enough; I need to partner with a behemoth of international

The next morning, I awoke and immediately prepared breakfast for everyone because I had no plans to go to work. When I was finished, I went to Miguel's room and asked him to clean his teeth before going for breakfast. He stared at himself in the bathroom mirror and inquired, "Mommy, do I resemble my daddy?" My heart skipped a beat since I had not anticipated him to say that."Mommy," he murmured, turning to face me when he realized I was not replying."Umm, sure, honey, you look just like him," I replied, looking aside as I struggled to hold back the tears."OK, I will go get my food now," he responded, running downstairs as Mia called out for him."Be careful, Miguel," I whispered as he hurried out.I hurriedly washed my face with water and glanced into the mirror.

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

    CHAPTER 59Nelly “You're so deadly for a moment I thought we were going to die in prison," I said to Max Cruz while he was just stirring his drink."Come on, I wouldn't let that happen. 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

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
