CHAPTER 4

Diego 

"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. I am excited to leave her for my first love, who is all I have ever desired. 

[Weeks Later]

Serene was able to pull herself together from the anguish and decided to sign the paperwork as I remained riveted to Nelly.

"Please read the agreement and sign here," my Lawyer said, referring to the terms.

Serene did not want to read anything; all she wanted to do was sign the terrible papers and go from my life forever. If I could not even feel her pain at losing her kid, what was the point of fighting for a love that was not hers?

Serene signed the papers and handed them to the lawyer. "Sir, it is your turn," the lawyer said, giving me the pen.

"Give me a second," I said, leaving the office.

I came back a few minutes later, accompanied by someone. To Serene's surprise, I invited my ex-girlfriend Nelly to watch me sign the divorce paperwork. Nelly seemed happy, and she could not stop staring at me while I did the same. Serene felt ashamed and unhappy, but she tried not to reveal her feelings, even if they were obvious. I signed the documents and paid Serene $2 million in compensation, but she turned it all down. This made Nelly very delighted but she didn't show it. As Serene was ready to depart, I went down on my knees and engaged Nelly.

Everything looked to be normal for us, but Serene's sorrow was about to burst when I proposed to Nelly just after divorcing her on our fifth anniversary.

[In the restroom]

Serene raced out and went straight to the toilet, where she painted creams red. "How could he do this to me?" she asked herself. Nelly followed her into the toilet, only to confront her with harsh remarks.

Serene ran to the sink to wipe away her tears in the mirror as soon as she heard someone enter the bathroom. Nelly did not want to pass up this chance, so she walked there.

"Oh, my sweetheart, I wish things were different, you know," she said, but Serene did not reply. 

"Imagine what it would be like if he filed for divorce when you were pregnant; you should be grateful it did not happen," she said. 

The sound of her child enraged Serene, so she approached Nelly and yelled, "Do not ever talk about my child in that manner; you are nothing compared to it!"

"Really? If that were the case, Diego would not have listened to me when I instructed him to get rid of you and invite me to your divorce day in front of you."

Serene could not believe what she had heard, so Diego did everything he could to satisfy Nelly's wishes without hesitation. She did not want to be around us, so she drove home, to gather all of her belongings .

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.

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 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.

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.

While everyone else waited, I went directly to the one seat that was clearly mine. The door opened, and someone I did not expect to see walked in. His gaze met mine, and I got shivers. He came in and sat next to me. Lift, his aroma enveloped me and everyone else close to him, and he turned to my side and grinned at me. The agent, on the other hand, smiled at him, believing he was smiling at her. Our boss stepped up and eventually introduced the man I ran into as the company's largest shareholder and a key figure. We waited for the conference to end, and everyone began leaving the boarding room as I packed my things. His stare caught mine, and I experienced goosebumps.I entered my office and took a sip of water. “Serene, please calm down. What exactly are you doing?" I whispered to myself, biting my nails and going over my ideas.

I wondered when he was going to depart for the meeting since I had a plan to find out what he was keeping from me, but my main concern was destroying whatever surprise he might be preparing. "Honey, shall we send Mia to spend time with her family?" I asked him since Miguel had gone to the Bahamas with Charlotte and Andrew."Yes, I am here to take care of you. Therefore, I believe it is a fantastic idea," he agreed.I already had enough maids, and Mia was exhausted from all the hassle Miguel had caused her. So I got up and went upstairs to see if she was there, only to see her departing Miguel's room."Hey, I need to talk to you," I started, and I could see she knew exactly what I wanted to say."Madam, please, I want to stay and t

    CHAPTER 171Serene When George called to inform me about Sofia, I was still eating dinner together with Miguel and Charlotte. Sofia appeared to have forgotten that I was the reason she eventually gained some attention and a few gigs that aided her financially, so I simply had to go get her. Not to mention the money I paid her when she lied to me about being pregnant with Diego. Instead of attempting to outbid me for Diego, she should just be appreciative and back off. When I arrived at the casino, the bartender informed me that Sofia and Diego were in some room. I was first full of hostility, but as we approached the door, I heard Diego pleading with her to stop, but she persisted, so I entered.Diego was overcome with terror, but it did not matter since I had to deliver Sofia a nuclear slap, and I succeeded. The fact that she wanted to smack me back was unbelievable to me. I mean, who does that? She would require critical treatment if one of my guards touched her, judging by the way

I was somewhat relieved that someone finally received what she deserved when she said that, and before she could reply, two smacks fell on her face.“How dare you?" I stopped Sofia's attempt to smack Serene by holding her hand.“Don't even think about it," I warned.I hoped she had remained silent, but she added, "Let go of me, just watch what will happen when Max finds out about this.""What did you just say?" Serene asked, walking closer to Sofia."Max is coming for the two of you, so your fiancé will regret having you smack me," Sofia remarked.Damn, couldn't she just keep quiet? I don't even know how I'm going to explain things to Serene."Sweetie Max is busy having the best experience in jail. I would not mind taking you there once you pass by the mental institution, okay

After saying hello to Charlotte, I left and headed to a casino to see George, who could have some ideas. "I get you, but the babies will suffer if you tell her the truth. What happens if she does not respond coolly?" he asked."That is exactly what I am thinking; I am afraid I could lose her again. Perhaps I should quickly get married," I proposed." Yes, but you are aware of the pain of being kept in the dark. Serene is severe and dangerous. Believe me, she will not spare you if you do anything weird with her sentiments," George cautioned."When will you get serious and quiet sounding so negative?" I murmured to George, who appeared to be scaring me already."Maybe you could find a permanent method to keep Max quiet or talk to Grace so she may have something more valuable

I could tell that the maids wanted me to sit but I always prefer making my fiancé and son the dishes. I was still cooking when a message came onto my phone; I at first ignored it, thinking it was just emails from my clients, but later got a shock. I walked into Miguel's room with a tray of food and placed it on the table before taking a seat to feed him. “Mommy, where's Daddy?" Miguel asked."He is at the office. Do you want me to give him a call?" I said promptly, grinning.“No, I just wanted to tell him to go to work. I'll be OK. I thought you said I'm strong right?" he asked."Of course, baby, you are my Roman Reigns," I informed him, smiling confidently.After eating, Miguel went to the toilet, and I quickly got my phone to see what was in my emails when I could not believe what the folks in that video were saying.

He cut me off.“Yes I…I listened to what you had to say, and I would like to hear it again with an explanation, Mr. Myers," I said."Well, George had a huge crush on Charlotte and was upset that Andrew had taken her away. He has been planning to confront Andrew, but I think that is a bad idea because that could get him in trouble with Charlotte, who will not let him off the hook easily," he said, and I could not believe what I had previously believed had been verified. I knew George had something for Charlotte."Maybe you are right, Charlotte will not spare him if he does something that will annoy Andrew.

    CHAPTER 166Serene I was busy setting the table when one of the maids brought the flowers into the kitchen. I didn't know what to say as Diego was the only person capable of that. I loved the surprise so I waited for Diego to come so I thanked him but he was more surprised than me. “Wait.. you are not the one that sent me this?" I asked, reacting to his shocked expression.“I didn't, but it could be one of your fans,” he said, but fear got the best of me as it was usual for them to send something without notifying me.“Maybe," I said, asking the maids to pack the roses away.I was still wondering about who the sender may be when Diego walked upstairs to change as I was putting his lunch on the tray behind him. When I entered the bedroom, I noticed Diego standing near the table, appearing uncomfortable. "Honey, is everyone OK?" I said, glancing up as I laid the tray."Yes, I am all right, just a bit fatigued," he said, attempting to deceive, but I saw through him."Really? Because my

We walked away as Max watched us in disbelief.I have given him shares in the Boston-based firm, but if he attempts to approach Serene or Miguel in any way, I will take everything away from him. Him discovering that Serene's pregnant and attempting to use that information to undermine me by revealing the truth is my worst worry. I wish I could tell Serene right now, but right now it is just not feasible. I am not sure how she will react to the news or if she'll still give me the same look. Nothing hits worse than your buried past emerging.How am I going to bear this?I was still deep in contemplation when George inquired. “Are we going to see Andrew?" “Yes, I think we're a little late but he's going to like the offer," I reacted."It is not l

Max got a call from Diego while we were still applauding. “What happened?" Sandra and I asked as we both stood up noticing the change in his expression.“It's Diego, he is so mad that we gave his fiancee a panic," Max responded."To hell with that fiancée thing; we are simply doing what we need to,” Sandra said, and I nodded in agreement."He stated that he would not give me the contract if I do it again," Max remarked, with anxiety in his voice.I told him to relax and enjoy the moment as we would undoubtedly touch the wrong buttons if Diego dared. Afterward, we all sat down and kept on drinking until I got a call from an unidentified number. I pretended not to see the call until I saw a text that arrived later because I was not sure if I should answer it or just ignore it as it may be David attempting to contact me. "It's Sofia White p
