CHAPTER 42

Serene

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.

As soon as the guards stopped him, I stepped inside the car and covered Miguel from seeing who the guards were stopping; otherwise, he would have known him right away. When we returned home, I asked Mia to assist him organize the toys while I prepared to meet the business Mogul.

    CHAPTER 73Diego I felt my hands tighten into fists, and my chest burned with rage as I remembered that Serene had told me the flowers were from her boyfriend. So, all along, my uncle had been the man she was talking about. I know he doesn't love her; whatever he is doing is to gain access to her wealth and steal as much as he can from her, as he did with his wife until she vanished with no trace to date. We all suspected he was behind her sudden disappearance, but we could not gather enough evidence to fight him. I will not allow Serene to suffer the same fate. I went to my room and quickly changed to take a shower while Grace ironed the clothes I requested. When I finished, I walked out and saw Sonia in a bikini. "Hello, sweetheart," she said, walking towards me."What exactly are you doing here?" I asked in a serious tone."What is the meaning of this? I am with my boyfriend, so what is the problem?" she asked."Do not dodge the question, Sonia; what are you doing here?" I repeate

    CHAPTER 72Diego Serene is so unbelievable that it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to resist her. I am not sure what is wrong with me, but every time I look at her, I start wishing things had not turned out the way they did between us, or rather that I had not behaved like an ass. I am now dealing with a new reality: another man has come into her life. No! There is no way I would let my son call someone else 'Dad'. I need to act quickly. I was still thinking when I noticed the lift close directly in front of me. “No!” I said, wishing I had walked out on time.It opened, and I found myself on the top floor again. A woman walked in with files in her hands, and I recognized her as Rina Serene's PA. "I thought you were gone, Mr. Myers," she said, smiling."That is correct, but I had something else to do before I left," I replied."Oh, I see; have fun then," she said as she was about to walk out of the lift, but I interrupted her with a question."May I have some coffee with you

    CHAPTER 71SERENE I know Diego must be happy that I hugged him. It is not like I had a choice; making sure my son does not notice the distance between us is something I will have to keep doing until he is old enough to understand things. I do not want to fall for anything Diego is attempting. I was still deep in thought when Rina shook my shoulder. "Someone looks so lost that peck must have stimulated a lot, right?" She teased me."You must be crazy to think I kissed him," I said, jumping out of the car as the guard opened it for me.“Come on it's Mr. Myers after all,” she said and held her mouth when I gave her a serious look.I walked towards the main entrance, and everyone kept greeting me, with some even complimenting my outfit. "Ms. Bright's welcome; we expected to see your secretary," Mr. Simon said."Oh, that is correct, but important gatherings must not be missed at any cost; I am sure you understand how the game is played in the business world," I replied with a smile."Yes,

    CHAPTER 70Serene What could be better than seeing the mighty Diego Myers cleaning up his messes? Maybe he was right; when I saw the blood, I felt bad, but not as bad as I would have back then. Covering my son's eyes was far too important since his fear of blood grows every time he sees it. I used to tell him that losing too much blood could result in hospitalization, which he despised. Just as Diego began cleaning, I walked out and went to the dining room to check on Miguel. "Mommy, where is Daddy?" he inquired, looking behind me, likely hoping to see Diego."Your father is—is on a phone call," I responded, knowing he would not want to disturb Diego."OK, I will go wait for him to finish," he replied and was about to leave when I gently held his arm. "Wait, sweetie," I quickly said.“Mommy is everything OK?” he asked."Yes, I just wanted to give you a kiss before you leave," I said, kissing him quickly and signaling Rina to go make sure Diego finished the cleaning. There is no way I

"Are you fighting with Daddy?" he asked, approaching us.“No, not at all I was just —”"Fixing my collar," I cut her off because she ran out of words."Yes, I was fixing Daddy's collar; where have you been?" Serene questioned him while holding his cheeks."I was in the toy room waiting for Daddy," he explained.“What?” "Daddy promised to play with me in the morning, but he did not come," he explained, and Serene turned to look at me, possibly regretful.“Oh, I'm so sorry I forgot I had —”"Blood," Miguel interrupted me as he noticed my hand was bleeding.“What!” Serene replied, looking in the direction Miguel had pointed."Oh, sweetie, I am sorry," she said, covering his eyes as he started to shiver. “Is daddy going to be OK?” he cried."Yes, Daddy will be fine, sweetie; do not cry," Serene reassured him.The maid quickly brought her the first aid kit, but sh

    CHAPTER 68Diego What else could I do? I tried to stop her from signing those papers, but she was too ignorant. To top it off, she was romantically holding that beast of an uncle I so detest. A touch I wished she could have given me, or something I was about to explode in anger over, but I had to hold it in because the Serene I have come to know is not the woman I once married, and believe me when I say she isn't. I remember coming home from work and changing my expression as if she had done something wrong, even though she hadn't; all I wanted was to get her out of my sight. But now the tables have turned, and karma is a bitch.I poured myself a glass of whiskey and drank it. "Uh," I let out a sound due to the burning sensation in my throat."Take it easy, son; what is bothering you?" my uncle inquired, taking the chair in front of me."Nothing, just being disappointed by someone," I said, punching my fist against the table wishing I gave it in his face.“Oh, I see ladies or busines

At first, I thought I would never see him, but fate had other plans. I know you missed me, and I truly missed you from the bottom of my heart. Happy birthday, your hero," the MC said, and my heart returned to place.'Wow, that was close,' I thought to myself.It was finally time for everyone to give their gifts, and I was overcome with emotion as I saw how many wishes and gifts everyone had for my son. I stood there watching, trying not to cry because it would ruin my makeup. "Madam, are you okay?” Mia asked as she stood beside me."Yes, I am fine; look after Miguel for me; I will be back soon," I said, heading upstairs. I closed my room and attempted to call Charlotte and Neina, but both of their numbers did not go through. I approached the mirror and looked at myself. 'You need to stay strong, Serene; t

    CHAPTER 66Serene It was not like I did not have a choice; I just had to let him come because Miguel would be upset with me. When Miguel called Diego out loud at the barbershop, I knew my worst fear had come true. If it were up to me, he would never have seen my son, but fate had other plans. I will have to pretend to be in a happy relationship with him to convince our son that we are happy. I entered my room and closed the door behind me. So many thoughts were racing through my mind, so I took a deep breath and quickly looked in the direction of the door that had just opened. "Mommy," Miguel said, pulling Diego into my room."I brought Daddy after our house tour, and I am going to get ready for the party," Miguel said as he ran out of the room.What the hell is going on? He had no right to be in my room. He must believe this is the Myers Mansion or something. "Look —”"I did not come here on purpose; in fact, I had no idea this was your room," he interrupted me."Whatever, I will ha

She was hesitant at first, but eventually found out and told me everything. Since he had always wanted his car, I quickly bought him one and asked the maid to keep me updated if Serene went out. When she told me Serene was taking my son to the barbershop, I went there first and waited for them. When I was certain it was safe for me to enter after them, I walked in and noticed Serene on her phone while our son was looking at how the barber was styling his hair when our gazes met. "Daddy!" he exclaimed, jumping up the chair and into my arms. I was surprised and could not believe he knew what I looked like; Serene must have shown him pictures or something. I could feel his tiny arms around my neck. I put my hands in his curly hair as I picked him up and gave him a proper look. To my surprise, he looked e
