CHAPTER 68

Diego

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.

    CHAPTER 69 Diego "Sweetie," Serene said, quickly releasing my shirt. I was going to die if my son had not come to my rescue. "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 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

    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 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 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 74Diego I quickly exited the bathroom and found Sonia waiting for me at the door. Since I was not in the mood for her drama, I asked her to open the door, but she remained hesitant. I immediately called Grace, who came to open the door for me. Sonia was so disappointed that she almost scolded Grace, but I intervened quickly. Just as I was about to go downstairs, I ran into my uncle. "Diego, where are you going right now?" he inquired, his curiosity evident.'What should I say now?' I asked myself while I was still thinking up my cock and bull story."Nowhere important, just taking some files to the airport," I lied and dashed out.I walked out and got into my car; I knew my uncle would be following me, so I drove to the airport and asked my cab driver to wait for me at the back door. I walked in and quickly changed into the clothes I had purchased before instructing the professional actor I hired to simply keep driving my car around and distracting the person stalking me. I

I am not saying she should give him a chance or anything. I am just glad that child is with its father; you know what it is like to be without a father's love," Neina told Charlotte, while I laughed at them."Look, Serene, if I were you, I would hold that... I don't even know what to call him," Charlotte said, causing us all to laugh."Okay, ladies, when should I expect your visit?" I asked."So

    CHAPTER 76Serene I hope Diego did not take my last statement seriously; I just had to change the sentence because Miguel had woken up. There is no way I would let my son hear what we were talking about, let alone learn how much I dislike his father. "Sweetie, we are here," I said, walking towards his bed with Diego."Hey Champ, are you okay?" Diego inquired, running his hands through Miguel's hair."Uhuh, I… I just had a nightmare," he said."Oh, we are so sorry; trust me, that will not happen again; we will sleep right here next to you," Diego said, while I gave him a fierce look that Miguel did not notice.“No, you can go while I—”“Mommy, where's Daddy going?” Miguel cut me off, and I quickly realized I was about to hint at something bad."To the kitchen for some milk, sweetie, but what are you thinking?" I replied softly, pulling his cheeks as Diego walked downstairs.“Can I switch on your TV?” I inquired as I was looking for a way to prevent Diego from leaving, as he had picked

    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

    CHAPTER 93Serene The doctor finally discharged Miguel and we took him home in a wheelchair. 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

    CHAPTER 92Serene My heart is not in the right place, and I am scared. I know Diego is furious that I did not inform him about his son's condition. 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

    CHAPTER 91Diego I felt hurt; I understand Serene despises me, but hiding my son's condition from me is far too cruel. 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.

    CHAPTER 88Serene I was so exhausted from posing for pictures that whoever informed the media about my arrival did me a disservice, as I wish people could ask instead of deciding to do things for themselves. "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.

    CHAPTER 86Diego When I got home, Grace was furious that I had left the mall without saying goodbye to my son. 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. "Where is he?" she inquired, glancing around."I did not get to take him with him,
