CHAPTER 41

Diego

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

    CHAPTER 46Diego The following morning, I awoke with a severe headache. I could not believe I had a dream about Serene; she looked stunning in the dream, and my son resembled me. My door opened, and Grace stepped in. "Diego, my boy, are you still in bed?" "Yes, I am feeling a little unwell today; could you kindly make me some ginger coffee?" I said."OK, I will be downstairs in a minute," she said, walking out of my room.I got out of bed, gently shut the door, and proceeded to take a shower. When I finished, I stepped out and hurriedly changed before going downstairs. I was drinking my coffee when Sonia stepped in. Seeing her made me wish I had rented a hotel instead. She was returning to make sure I got her into bed or something. "Good morning, honey. I thought you had already left," she said, taking a seat on the sofa across from me."No, do you need anything?" I asked."No, I don't need anything; maybe just a bit of you, Diego. It has been years, and I honestly feared you would

    CHAPTER 47Serene It is a lovely afternoon, and I am sitting at the side of the pool, watching Mia and Miguel swim. I truly dislike getting into the pool because the last time I did it was on my honeymoon with Diego. It is not that I did not know how to swim, but everything simply went Diego's way that day; I could recall how the other lady shoved me into the water and Diego moved over to her, knowing I was struggling until some random humanitarian beggar assisted me. "Mommy, are you not coming with us?" Miguel inquired with a charming smile."I am coming, honey," I said, jumping into the water and swimming towards him."Wow, madam, you must have been an excellent swimmer," Mia remarked."Of course, my mother is the finest. I believe my papa is too right, mommy?" Miguel asked.I remained silent for a moment before I smiled at him to agree with what he said. Miguel's days are becoming increasingly difficult as he gets older. Back then, I would advise him not to inquire about his fathe

    CHAPTER 48Serene I will be going to Mr. Cruz's residence for the first time. I have gotten to know him over the years, and he is a great guy, but I do not think it is the right time for him to be a large part of my life. I know he likes me, and everything would be perfect, but I just need more time. I entered the kitchen and found Rina with a dish of fruits. "Is Cruz gone?" she questioned, peering behind me."Yes, would you like to accompany him?" I asked jokingly."No, I am already hooked on someone; I do not think I like Cruz anymore, but you appear to be concealing something.""Okay, let me know when you figure it out," I responded, opening the refrigerator to grab some juice."Do you feel something for Mr. Cruz? I mean, if that is the case, you guys could already go serious and provide Miguel with a stable family," she remarked, and I turned to give her a serious look.“What did you just say?” I asked her."Come on madam, back then you would claim you were pregnant and staff, bu

I instructed her to get Miguel home within the next 20 minutes, and they found me in the living room. “Mia, I do not want this to happen again. Therefore, I have warned you not to take him out, especially without guards.”"I am sorry, my lady. He did not want to disturb your sleep, that's why we did not notify you.""Whatever the circumstances may be, do not take him out of this home again," I cautioned.“Mommy I'm —”"I do not want your apologies, sweetheart; you went against Mommy's orders," I replied, trying to look away but swiftly turning to take him up and kiss him. "Are you crazy? You know mommy would never reject her baby's apologies," I responded, teasing him."Madam, your clothing has come," Mia stated as she received the puzzle. "Just leave it on the couch, honey, and I will carry it with me on my way upstairs. What do you wa

    CHAPTER 94DiegoThe party has ended, and everyone has gone to sleep. I was standing on the opposite side of the bed as Serene read Miguel a bedtime story. What could be better than watching the two people who bring you complete joy? I know that does not sound like me, but the time I have spent with Serene has made me realize how much more I could have had if I had allowed her to experience my love. I was still thinking when she cleared her throat and told me to leave Miguel's bedroom."Maybe we should talk, Serene," I suggested as she closed the door."Do not forget, Mr. Myers, that you are only here because Miguel needs you. If that was not the case, I believe you know where you would be right now," Serene said, attempting to walk away, but I caught her arm."You might not want to do that, sir," one of her guards told me, patting me.“OK, fine. I'm sorry, Serene. I need you to give me a chance to discuss things.”"Please show Mr. Myers out; I am sure it is exhaustion causing all tha

Just as we got home, the entire living room was dark, and I wondered if there was a power outage or something. “Mommy, what happened to the lights?” Miguel asked, looking confused.“I don't know, sweetie, let me quickly find out,” I replied, attempting to switch on my phone's torch when the lights went on, and I realized all Miguel's friends had come to welcome him. “Surprise!” everyone exclaimed and I couldn't help but clap along.“Hi, Ms. Brights,” the little children greeted me.“Hello, how are you, little angels?” I asked.“We're fine thanks,” they responded.Miguel stood up from his chair and began walking towards his friends, who all hugged him and led him to the couch while I poured them drinks. "Look at my little prince; he is so cute," Charlotte said to Miguel, softly pulling his cheeks.“Why is she so mean?” Diego asked as he assisted me in rinsing the glasses."I am not sure; maybe

It is not that I did not want to, but my desire for vengeance overcame me and nearly cost me the only person who completed my world. 'Get well soon, sweetheart,' I said in my head while standing beside Miguel's bed."Why are you sad, Mommy?" Miguel inquired, noting how pale I appeared.“Sad, no sweetie I am just bored, so now that you are awake, how about you tell me a little story?" I replied quickly, changing my expression."Okay, but is Daddy coming to listen as well?" he asked."Umm, no, Daddy is out and maybe a little late," I lied."OK, lay here," he said, and I placed my head next to him.I was looking in a different direction as he told me one of the cute stories I had read him. My tears were just flowing because I could not hold them back. My son's voice softened, and I looked up in fear, only to discover that he had fallen aslee

Maybe it was our past that caused everything, but I have changed so much that I am glad I saved his life. “Daddy, why are you sad?” Miguel inquired as he opened his eyes."No, I am not champ; my eyes are in a little bit of pain," I said. “How are you feeling sweetheart?” Serene asked Miguel, but he ignored her and turned to my side of the bed."Daddy, will I go watch wrestling live when I am better?" he asked me."We will hear from your mom first, you can see she was worried, huh," I replied, looking at Serene, who was staring at the floor."No, we do not have to go with Mommy because she lied and broke a promise," Miguel explained.“Sweetie I'm sorry I wish —”"Mommy, please go away," Miguel said to Serene, who began shaking her head.“Champ, calm down. Mommy didn't do anything,” I said, trying to calm him down."Mommy, you promised to return on time but didn't,"

    CHAPTER 90SERENE "Ms. Brights, there is something concerning about the blood test results," the doctor said, and my heart skipped a beat."What is wrong, doctor? Is my blood not good?" I asked with tears on the verge of falling out."Not only that, but your blood does not match that of your son," the doctor replied, and I felt as if I had not just heard what he said.“What kind of joke is that doctor, I'm Miguel's Mom,” I replied."Here you can take a look at yourself. I thought it would be easier if there was a high chance, but it shows that you are not related to him in any way," the doctor said, pausing to look at me before continuing, "except for the fact that you are probably a chimera.”“Chimera?” I questioned in disbelief.“Yes, but there's no time right now. We need to act fast. Maybe we should try his father. I am confident that he will not respond negatively," the doctor suggested.‘What should I do now? I don't even want Diego to find out,’ I told myself."Ms. Brights, ar

Please come back to me, and I will treat you better than—”"Aside from the flowers I carried on our wedding day, do you remember a time when you bought me flowers?" I cut him off."I know I have not done that, but please give me this one chance to make things right; I love you Serene, and every breath without you is hell," Diego said."Thank you for telling me how you should have felt because I do not have any emotions right now. If you do not mind, I am in a hurry; have a good day," I said, walking away without a second thought.I stepped into the lift, and the guards followed me just as it opened.

"Ms. Brights," a familiar voice called out, and I quickly turned to face the person."Hello, Sir, it is good to see you again. How is your daughter doing?" I asked the old man, whose face I recognized.“She's doing fine madam. I was not expecting to see you, but fate made it possible," he said."Oh, you do not have to be so formal; call me Serene. How long should I continue saying that?" I asked with a smile."OK, I will try calling you that, but I still want to thank you; if it were not for you, my daughter would have—”"No, it was God, not me; believe me when I say God saved her, not me; I was simply doing my job," I responded.“Madam, everything is set,” Rina said."OK, I will be with you soon," I told her, before inviting the old man to join me for lunch in the VIP lounge.

I walked away without resisting, leaving her hanging. As we entered my bedroom, I took my hand off Sofia's waist while she poured herself a glass of wine. "Nice acting skills, Mr. Myers," she said, giving me a subtle smile."Well, what are you doing here?" I asked Sofia because I had not called for her."Nothing came to make use of my abilities. I was a little bored," she said, walking towards me and attempting to fix my collar, but I walked away."I do not think you want to do this," I explained.“I do I wouldn't resist a thing just —”"Sofia, please keep it professional; I need to get some sleep now," I said, opening the door for her to walk out."OK, I see, goodnight," she said, placing the glass on my desk before walking away.I closed the door and stepped into the shower.

I tried explaining what had happened, but it only made matters worse; she wanted to have dinner with her grandson, and there was nothing I could say to persuade her, so I had to plead with Serene to let me go with Miguel despite her warning to stay away. I was having trouble getting in, so I asked the guards to let her know I was outside. I was about to get back in the cab when I noticed my uncle's car. 'Damn that bastard is here,' I cursed and walked away before he noticed me."Take me home," I instructed the driver."Are you certain, Sir, that we should go?" The driver inquired, his gaze fixed on me."Start the damn car, or should I cut your pay?" I gave a response."No, sir, I will start," he replied, driving away immediately.When I walked into the house, Grace was getting ready to go out.
