CHAPTER 37

Diego

We strolled into my uncle's mansion, and everything still seemed the same; I knew what each room was and what I expected to see next. 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

    CHAPTER 38Serene Miguel now refuses to go to Australia with Mia, which makes me very concerned. He did not feel secure leaving me alone, and I could not help but cry in his presence. 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. My heart was beating faster and my ey

    CHAPTER 39Diego So far, the day is going well, but I haven't started my search. If George had not told my uncle I was coming, I would have spent the entire time at a hotel plotting how I was going to find Serene. I now have to pass by the KATARAYO Agency only to make it appear that I am here for business; my uncle finding out about Serene and the child would endanger their lives. As the evening neared, I prepared and left for KATARAYO AGENCIES’. Their guard led me inside the boarding room, where I found everyone except one individual. They were the biggest investor; they were supposed to welcome me but could not make it owing to other commitments."Mr. Myers, please excuse us for the inconvenience," the supervisor apologized."It is okay, Mr. Simon," I said, pretending to grin."Uhm, Mr. Myers, will you be staying here for long?” A lady dressed in blue inquired."I truly can not say madam, but if your boss would want to meet with me, please let her know; I want to conduct business w

    CHAPTER 40Serene Going to welcome Diego would be the biggest mistake I could make; why on earth would I want him to know who I am so easily? I am not sure what Rina told them about my reason for not coming, but I instructed her to sort it out for herself. I spoke with Neina, and she advised me not to panic. I mean, how could I forget that I have become more powerful and successful than Diego in such a short period? I do not even need to send my son to Australia with his nanny; I have enough resources to protect him and myself, and Diego will never get to meet my child if I want.Different things were racing through my mind when I received a call from Neina, who verified that Diego had come for his child rather than for business. My heart skipped a beat, but I was not as afraid since I could not afford to lose myself to terror. I am not sure if it was the fear of meeting Diego or falling for him again that haunted me. Given that I had adequate protection, it became evident that the f

    CHAPTER 41Diego I am not sure why KATARAYO's major stakeholder is not even interested in signing me to the agreement. I realize that they have done their homework on me, but my past is not intended to influence my future in business. Serene would always be the one to persuade people in situations like this, but now I am stranded again. I even doubt they were busy; they most likely made up an excuse to avoid me. When I arrived home from the motel, I went directly to my room and napped. After a few hours, my door opened, and Grace entered with a plate of food. "Diego, you did not touch anything; is everything okay?" She inquired, her expression troubled."Umm, sure, I am all right, just a bit fatigued.""Okay, how did the meeting go?" She asked."It went bad; KATATARYO's major investor did not want to see me; I am not sure why.""Oh, I see, everything happens for a purpose; now, take your meal and make sure I do not find it when I return for the tray," Grace remarked as she set the f

    CHAPTER 42Serene I was going to spend the day at the park with Mia and Miguel, but Rina informed me that we would have a very important meeting at 8 a.m. I am not sure how I will explain this to my son, and even if he understands, I know he would still want me to be there with him. As usual, I awoke the next morning and prepared breakfast. I did not want anything to go missing when they went to the park, so I packed additional food in their backpacks. When I was finished, I hurriedly rushed to take a shower and put on makeup. After Miguel was born, I tried everything I could to be the supermom I would always want to be. Since rare beauty has always been my favorite, I have made it a point to wear it on all occasions since it makes my face appear just as I want it to. I was not sure about wearing a dress, so I grabbed my purple two-piece suit and matching heels. When I glanced at myself in the mirror, everything seemed beautiful. I curled my hair and quickly made sure my bed was pr

    CHAPTER 43Serene “Is he gone?” I murmured under the bartender's desk."Yes, Mr. Myers has left," she answered.I instantly snatched the bartender's black coat and donned it. Fortunately, it was long enough to hide my clothes, and I then requested her to give me her shoes because I did not want heels as they would draw attention. I took her shoes and then put some money into her account before leaving. To my amazement, Diego was on the phone near the exit, while Rina was lovingly smiling at him from the table, although he had his back to her. "I will get you later," I murmured, staring at Rina with anger. Since I was wearing a veil, she did not notice or pay attention to me. I stepped closer to the exit, where Diego was standing. I moved closer, then paused to take a deep breath before stepping passed him.My dread must have gotten the best of me, as I shook his shoulder. He instantly turned back to apologize, but I kept my face down and moved quicker this time. "Excuse me, madam,"

    CHAPTER 44Diego I just got back home after looking for Serene. I expected Rina's employer to see me, but she did not show up. I was so upset that I could not help but wonder what I had done to deserve so much disappointment. After Rina had departed, I was going to hand over my blazer to the driver when I smelt Serene's perfume on it. I initially thought I was overthinking it, so I asked the driver to smell it as well, and he verified that it was of a lady. I was perplexed since I could not recall ever being with another lady other than Rina. I raced through my thoughts again and remembered the mysterious woman in a black coat; she was the only one who approached my shoulder. Could she possibly be Serene?I immediately requested that the hotel management show me the CCTV footage, and I could not believe what I was witnessing. The woman was sitting at the table Rina and I took, but she abruptly moved to the bar and was beneath the bartender's desk when I arrived. I watched her go out

    CHAPTER 45Diego Sonia approaches me and starts to remove her bra; she grins at me, and I smile back. She jumps into my arms and begins kissing my neck, while I remain neutral. "See, I got you," she said softly, biting my ear. Just as she was about to retire to bed, I stood up and moved towards the door. "Where are you going?" she inquired. I turned and showed her the keys before opening the door to go away as she cursed.I can not be the same Diego as before. I need to make a positive adjustment and set a good example for my son so that he does not break his wife as I did. I went downstairs and saw my uncle getting chastised by Grace for allowing Sonia into my room. "Oh, there he is, Diego; how did it go?" my uncle said, assuming I had touched Sonia, but she returned downstairs, blaming me for failing her. "You are such a catastrophe; how dare you leave me hanging like that?" she said, attempting to arrange the garment about herself."What? Are you saying that Diego let you down?” My

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
