Serene
"What? What is this!" I yelled, my voice quivering with rage and agony at the sight of Diego and Nelly.
When he turned around, he realized he had forgotten to lock the door "I can explain... "
"Explain? How would you explain this?"
I entered the room, my face filled with grief and betrayal. My gaze shifts to Nelly, who is gazing down and avoiding eye contact. "Serene, let us discuss this at home." Diego reached out to me, saying, "It is not what you think."
"Not what I think? I believe I just walked in on my husband in bed with another woman, So, what might it be?" I questioned, taking steps backward.
My eyes welled with tears, but I refused to let them fall. I stormed out of the room, turning on my heel. Disappointment enveloped me, and the prospect of blind trust being broken shattered my heart.
"Serene, please wait!" Diego cried behind me. He tries to get out of the bed, but Nelly clutches his arm.
"Let her go.Let her go!"
"What have I done?" Diego moaned.
[Home]
When I reached home, I jumped out of my car and slammed the door behind me, furious.I ignored Nora's query and proceeded directly upstairs to our room. "Is everything fine, Ma'am?"
Diego stormed in right as I was going to lock the door. I received another message from the same number, but this time it included photographs of Diego and Nelly snuggling and having a good time on what appeared to be a picnic, something he had never taken me on in all those years as his wife.
"Take a look at this, Diego. What exactly does this mean?" I asked, my heart aching.
" Serene." He looked at me sympathetically and remarked, "I suppose I have not been honest enough."
"I gave up everything to make this work, Diego; what have I not done for you? Is this how you have rewarded me for everything?
He responds, "Serene, I am afraid I do not feel the same way about you now. I tried telling you this several times, but you just would not listen.”
"Do not even bother telling me how you feel about me, Diego Myers. I have loved you unreservedly for the past five years, and you were not scared to open doors for Nelly, who abandoned you for another man.
“Stop, Serene! I will not allow you to talk about her that way; Nelly is back for me, and we will be stronger than ever; you are just someone I kept to fulfill your father's dying wish but I can't anymore ," he replied firmly.
"I was going to tell you sooner, but I did not want to put you through another painful period after you miscarried our baby.I even question if I could be a decent father to it," he continued.
I took a deep breath and asked him, "Diego, what are you saying am I not your wife?"
"Well, not anymore; Nelly is my first love; she is the only woman my heart has ever beat for; now that she has returned, we should have a..."
I interrupted him, "Do not think about it, Diego; I am not getting divorced."
"Up to you," he mumbled, leaving me alone as he returned to the hotel.
What had transpired was unbelievable to me. My husband is preparing to leave me for his first love, who abandoned him for another guy, and he has thrown away all we have built together especially my father's sacrifice to save his life.
"Madam, you are going through a lot. I pray God restores the joy between you and Sir," Nora said, attempting to wipe my tears.
"Nora, I want to be alone." I pleaded.
"No, Madam, I am not going anywhere; I will stay here with you," Nora stated.
"Nora!"
"All right, Madam. I will be in my room in case you need anything," she said, turning to go.
When I remembered Diego's remarks, I could not stop sobbing. I entered the shower and turned on the tap, allowing water to cascade over my face and mask my tears as I lowered myself.

CHAPTER 4Diego "You are already back, sweetie," Nelly said, giving me a sour, displeased expression."Yes, I cannot wait any longer to make you mine; the previous 5 years without you, Nelly, have been agony; please do not ever leave me again," I begged, kneeling with my hands on her lap. "I am not going anywhere, but how about Serene?" She queried me with worry. "I have already taken care of that; she will be out of our lives for good," I said, going in for a kiss.I am not bothered about Serene; the return of Nelly made me glad. I do not want to put off the divorce procedures any longer, so I asked my lawyer to create the paperwork.Serene lost her kid while she was in the depths of despair, and she will soon lose me.

CHAPTER 5Serene When I arrived home, I ran into our bedroom, only to discover that my closet was empty. I asked myself , "How could Diego have done this?” We spent about three hours in his attorney's office, and it could not have been him.I turned to our maid Nora and said, "Who entered our room after I had left?""No one did.""What? How is that possible? My closet was emptied."I emptied them for you," Nora replied. “What?”"Oh please quit the act, Serene, you should be grateful I did you a favor imagine how long it would have taken you to get all your stuff together, I do not want Nelly to come here and find you wandering around this house, I have moved all your belongings to the living room, I don't even know what you are doing here," Nora, the maid, reacted. "What! Do you know Nelly?"You must have grown too comfortable being soothed by me; that chapter is over now; my best friend will be controlling this home from now on, and you need to get your ass out of here," Nora said,

CHAPTER 6Serene Neina came to see who was at her door when she heard a knock. I stood in front of her, brokenhearted, carrying my bags and a teddy bear.She lured me inside after dropping the mop. "What does this mean?" she said as we settled into the coach. "It is all over for me; Diego has engaged another woman," I said. Neina was bewildered, so I explained everything that had happened. Neina was enraged, but she had to save it for when she ran into Diego; he did not just injure her buddy."Serene I am deeply sorry, but you are now secure with me, and if he ever comes seeking for you, I will break every bone in his body.Neina swore. "I will be going shortly," I told her. "What, no, you are in no condition to go already.""I have been approved for the position we applied for while Diego was in distress.""Marketing director for KATARAYO AGENCY?"Neina asked "Yes, they did phone me a few hours ago.""What!"Neina leaped with delight and embraced me.

CHAPTER 7Serene I have not heard from Diego in two weeks. I have been doing everything I can to recover, and now it is time for me to go to a faraway land, away from Diego and all the suffering he has caused me. It is now time to start afresh, this time without making any compromises for anyone. Charlotte and Neina are welcome to visit me in London at any moment. I can not understand why they are so unhappy. Charlotte and Neina placed my things in the boot and moved towards me; we hugged before jumping into the car and driving to the airport."Do not forget to inform us when you land," Neina said lovingly.“I won't promise,” I responded with a smile at them."If you forget, we will catch the next flight there," Charlotte said, and we all laughed.The vehicle came to a stop, and we hopped out. I grabbed my luggage and we headed inside the airport, and I started to feel sad and melancholy. I paused and glanced at both of them; Charlotte saw and hurriedly muttered, "Serene, calm down."

CHAPTER 8 Serene My skirt feels so snug on my body, and I have not worn something so classy in a long time. Throughout my marriage, I always wore clothing that never revealed too much of my body—except for instances where I needed to appear gorgeous. It is my first day at work, and I have donned make-up from Rare Beauty. Selena Gomez's cosmetics are an excellent fit for my skin. I put on lipstick and curled my hair. I had no option but to wear heels; I only hoped I wouldn't walk and fall because I have not worn heels in a long time; else, I will spend time in my slippers. I hurriedly grabbed my purse and dashed out as the driver came. "Good morning, Ms. Brights. I hope you are looking forward to your first day of work," The driver said to me. "Sure, I can not wait either," I said, turning my attention to my phone. Charlotte and Neina continued sending me texts asking if I had arrived at work; I responded and then began gazing at the architecture and charming spots we drove past.

CHAPTER 9Diego "Sir, your lawyer wishes to speak with you about something," George remarked in a pallid voice."Tell him to wait; I will be back in a few days; you know Nelly does not like things cut short," I responded to George in a strong tone."But, Sir—"I cut him off and said, "I know you can manage anything, George; just do your job."He was about to say something , but as soon as Nelly stepped in, I ended the call. She smiled at me and approached me with an enticing look. I stood up and headed towards her; when we met, I grabbed her up and kissed her. We proceeded to our bed, carrying her in my arms, and gingerly laid her on the plus-sized bed."Hold on," she whispered before I had the opportunity to kiss her.She grinned and picked up her phone. I was curious as to why she had stopped me, so she scanned through her album and finally stopped at a shot. I could not believe my eyes when I viewed the picture."What? You still have that ?" I questioned her."Yes, this was the on

CHAPTER 10 Diego "When exactly did that happen?" I was startled hearing that Serene requested the money. "OK, I will see you when I get back," I responded, ending the conversation. "Wow, I can not believe this," Nelly said, shaking her head. "It is okay, honey; she will be out of our lives for good now; that is the only thing that would have made her come back and cause drama, you know," I said to Nelly, holding her hands as she laid the meal down. "Yes, but I intended to use it for something different," Nelly explained, tugging her face. "What? That is impossible, my darling," I told her in a quiet, calm tone. "I am not sure why you are making such a big deal out of this. It is not like she wants the money. I thought I might put it to good use, perhaps invest in something worthy," I replied, her as she pushed away from the hug. "I am afraid you can't.That money was intended for Serene, and I cannot accept it. It is hers, regardless of what she does with it. We have no right

CHAPTER 11 Serene It is my second week at work, and I am liking the company's vibe. I can not believe these dudes are still looking at me like I am 16 when I am growing so old. My birthday is almost approaching, and I recall how alone I felt on that day when I was with Diego. I would have thought that he was staying out late to surprise me, but he was actually doing it to keep me away from him. Sometimes I feel like I was so blinded by one-sided love that I overlooked the fact that Diego did not love me. Fortunately, things have changed, and I will spend my birthday with the most valuable person in my life, aside from Charlotte and Neina. My child is that person; I am not sure what gender it is, but knowing that I love them intensely even when I can not see them brings me so much joy. It is 7 a.m Friday, and I have to be at work by 9 a.m. I hurriedly sprang out of bed and rushed to the shower. I could see how lethargic my eyes appeared in the mirror, but I needed to seem good beca

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

CHAPTER 157 Serene The gunshots continued to echo in my head until I saw Diego fall in front of me. I was unable to speak, and before I could reach out to him, everything went black. "Diego!" 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

CHAPTER 156Nelly“Mina!" I heard Max exclaim when I opened my eyes in shock. How was she still alive after what Max had done to her? I looked around and could not believe I was actually in jail. "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

CHAPTER 155SERENEI could not believe what I just heard and could not even tell Neina. 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

CHAPTER 151Diego Waking up on Serene's couch is so comfortable, and getting to make breakfast for her and my son is something I want to do every day. When I returned to Max's mansion, I only came to get my bags, so I moved into a hotel; I could not leave under the roof over a wolf who might kill me one day. I greeted Grace, who appeared to be both sad and happy that I was moving out. "You better get them for me," she whispered, hugging me.“I will not worry," I responded."Do not lose focus, Sonia," I said, hugging her too."I won't you take care,” she said, kissing my cheek when Nelly walked in.“Diego, are you leaving? I mean what's with all these bags?" she asked."Nothing, Nelly; I am just going to get some privacy," I replied."Where? I mean, this mansion is large enough to accommodate everyone. Where are you going?" she asked.“Yes, Diego, where are you going?" my uncle asked, as he walked in."I am moving out to have my privacy," I explained."What? No, you know we have all

CHAPTER 150Serene I walked away since I could tell Diego was uncomfortable and Sofia appeared to be excited. I stood back and just admired how happy Charlotte and Neina appeared to be with their partners. Could such joy not locate me? Max smiled and blocked my way, so I considered walking away since I didn't want to be around him. "Ms. Brights, you look adorable tonight," he commented. "Thank you, Mr. Cruz; you do not look bad either," I said, about to walk away as he held my hand.“Uhmm sorry, how about we have a dance?" He said, but I was not in the mood, so I refused."Some other time, I have to get to something," I replied, walking away.Why would Max want us to dance when I do not want anything to do with him? Rina should have come here to dance with him because she likes rich men. I had not even finished thinking when I answered her video call. " Hey Rina, what a surprise?” I said as I didn't expect her to call."Calm down, madam, I know that reaction; did you turn down Max?"
