CHRISTINE'S LIVING ROOM

Sunlight streams through the windows, casting a warm glow on the room. Christine chases after her energetic four year old daughter, Nadia, who giggles and runs around the room. The result of the one night that she had with a stranger five years ago was not so bad after all, having giving birth to a beautiful daughter makes her sooo happy, even though she remembered the troubles she passed through, especially when mother learnt of the pregnancy, it was not so easy for her but now everything has become a memory.

"Nadia, sweetie, it's time to get ready for school!" Christine shouted for the umpteenth time.

"Catch me, Mama!" she giggled.

Christine finally catches up to Nadia and scoops her up in her arms, both of them laughing.

"Oh, you little troublemaker! You're growing up so fast," she said, smiling.

"I don't want to go to school, Mama. Can't we just play?" she said, pouting.

Christine smiles warmly, brushing a strand of Nadia's curly hair away from her face.

"I know it seems like playtime is more fun, but school is important too, my love. You'll make so many friends and learn amazing things, also we are going back to the US tomorrow." she said.

Nadia pouts, crossing her tiny arms with a huff.

"Yayyy, I'm finally going to see grandma, but only if you promise to play with me after school!" she said.

Christine kisses Nadia's cheek and places her down gently.

"Deal. Now go get ready, and remember to brush your teeth," she said.

Nadia races off towards the bathroom, her tiny feet pitter-pattering excitedly. Christine smiles to herself, marveling at how much Nadia has grown in the past five years.

Christine walks over to a nearby mirror and admires her own reflection. There is a newfound confidence in her eyes, a testament to the strength she has acquired over the years.

"Look how far we've come, Nadia. We've built a beautiful life together," she whispers to herself.

Her thoughts momentarily drift back to the challenges she faced during her pregnancy with Nadia. The sleepless nights, the uncertainty, the struggle to make ends meet. But now, all of that feels like a distant memory.

Christine's phone chimes, bringing her back to the present. She picks it up and reads the message with a smile.

TEXT MESSAGE: Congratulations, Christine! Your latest application has been approved, we will be expecting you as our new secretary the next week. 

Christine fist pumps the air with excitement. She has flourished in her career over the years, and now she's becoming the secretary in one of the biggest companies in the US, she can't wait to go back to her country, after all her online registration didn't go to waste. 

"Looks like Mama has a big celebration coming up, Nadia!" Christine said excitedly.

Nadia emerges from the bathroom, her backpack slung over her shoulder.

"Is it my celebration too, Mama?" she asked.

Christine laughs, crouching down to Nadia's level.

"Of course it is, my little star. We celebrate everything together," Christine said, smiling.

Nadia's face lights up, her accent betraying their time spent living in Mexico.

"Vamos a celebrar!" (Let's celebrate) she said excitedly.

Christine cringes at the accent, and they both burst into laughter. They share a hug, filled with love and gratitude, then they make their way to school. 

******

It was a beautiful sunny morning as Christine and Nadia prepared for their journey to the USA. Christine packed their bags with excitement, knowing that a new chapter awaited them in a foreign land. The anticipation filled the air with possibilities as they boarded the plane and departed for their destination.

After a long flight, Christine and Nadia finally arrived at their new home in the USA. As they stepped off the plane, a warm breeze greeted them, promising a fresh start. Christine's heart fluttered as she looked around, taking in the unfamiliar sights and sounds.

At the arrival gate, Christine was greeted by her family who had been eagerly waiting with balloons and a sign that read, "Welcome Home, Christine and Nadia!" Tears of joy welled up in Christine's eyes as she embraced her parents, siblings, and extended family. They all showered Nadia with love, ruffling her hair and promising to spoil her during their stay.

That evening, the family threw a small but intimate welcoming party for Christine and Nadia. The house was decorated with colorful decorations, and the aroma of delicious food filled the air. Jeanette, who she hadn't seen in five years, arrived with her own family. They had kept in touch through video calls and messages, but finally being in each other's presence was an overwhelming reunion.

When Jeanette stepped through the door, Christine's face lit up, and she rushed to meet her. They hugged tightly, tears streaming down both their faces. It was a shared understanding that no amount of distance or time could break the bond they had nurtured since childhood.

Christine and Jeanette found a quiet corner in the bustling party. They sat on a cozy sofa, holding hands and catching up on each other's lives. Christine shared her joy about her job as a secretary, a position that had been approved even before she arrived in the USA. Jeanette's eyes sparkled with pride as she listened, admiring the strength and determination her best friend possessed.

As they continued conversing, Christine's gaze swept across the room and unexpectedly met the eyes of someone she hadn't expected to see in many years. It was Eugene, her high school ex-boyfriend. Time seemed to freeze in that moment as memories and emotions flooded back.

With hesitant steps, Christine approached Eugene. She noticed the mixture of surprise and curiosity in his eyes. They began talking, slowly at first, about life after high school, their accomplishments, and the paths they had taken.

Although their interaction was initially filled with bittersweet nostalgia, it soon transformed into genuine happiness for each other's successes.

"So I heard you travelled to Mexico," Eugene remarked.

Christine pondered, how did he become aware of her trip? She hadn't disclosed it to many people. She glanced around and observed her father eagerly selecting the candies that Nadia pointed at. He must have been spreading the word about her travels. She turned to face Eugene. "Yes, I did."

Eugene beamed. "Fantastic, how was it?" he asked.

"It was awesome," she replied with a smile.

"Christine, we could reconnect if you'd like. I know of a restaurant that serves an exquisite dish," he suggested, his smile widening.

She blinked rapidly. "If I didn't know any better, it seems like you're indirectly asking me out on a date, Eugene."

"I believe you're correct, Christine," he responded, smiling and sheepishly scratching the back of his head.

    Suddenly, Sarah put down another paper. " This is the conversation if you can survive for more than a month." Christine's eyes grew wider." That's enough for my daughter school fees and to also take of my mom. "I would not have to worry if that amount goes into my account every month." Nadia would be enjoying so much and even my Jeanette can benefit from this. "But you have to deal with Mr reyes," Sarah said.

    “Excuse me?” Reyes raised an eyebrow, his voice low and measured, but the steel in it was unmistakable. He had always prided himself on maintaining a professional demeanor, but Christine’s audacity had caught him off guard. “You think I’m rude?”Christine, her arms crossed defiantly, met his gaze without flinching. “If I had known the CEO of Fortune Productions was this rude, I wouldn’t have accepted the job,” she shot back. The words hung in the air, heavy and charged, as a few nearby employees paused in their work, their eyes darting between the two.Reyes felt a surge of anger rise within him, but he quickly tempered it. He was not one to lose control, especially not in front of his staff. “Is that what you think?” he asked, his voice steady but edged with disbelief. “That I’m arrogant?”Before Christine could respond, Sarah, the office manager, rushed forward, her face a mask of concern. “Mr Blackwell, I’m so sorry about this,” she interjected, her tone urgent as she gently pulled

    “Christine, I know this isn’t what you envisioned when you took the job. But hear me out. Why not give it three months? Work with us at Fortune Productions. You might find it’s not as bad as you think.” He leaned forward and smirked. “Three months? You mean three months of chaos and your endless demands? Sounds like a dream come true.” Christine said forcing a smile “I promise, it’s not all chaos. There’s a method to the madness. And who knows? You might even enjoy it.” Reyes chuckled lightly. “Enjoy it? You’re the reason I’m in this mess, Reyes. If you hadn’t—” she screamed in her head wanting to talk but she held her self. "Of course, I would enjoy it, your arrogance and bossy attitude." “I know, I know.

    Brandon leaned against the doorframe of the office, a subtle smirk playing on his lips as he watched his boss.Brandon had always been observant, and he couldn’t help but notice how Reyes’s demeanor shifted when women were around. He kept a professional distance from his own fiancée, but with Christine, it was different. The way he leaned in slightly, the way his voice softened—it was almost intimate. Brandon had half-expected Reyes to lean in for a kiss, the thought making him chuckle quietly to himself.Brandon pushed himself off the doorframe and headed toward Christine’s office.He knocked lightly before entering, finding her hunched over her desk, focused on a report. “Hey, Christine.

    Christine swallowed hard, her throat dry as she felt the weight of her long, dark hair slipping from the tight bun. But now, as she lowered her head to avoid Reyes’s gaze, the strands cascaded down her shoulders, framing her face in a way that felt both vulnerable and exposed.Reyes moved closer. The scent of his cologne—a mix of cedar and something sharp—filled the air between them. “Are you sure we haven't met before?” he asked, his voice smooth yet probing.Christine’s heart raced, pounding against her ribcage like a caged bird desperate to escape. She felt the blood drain from her face, leaving her pale and trembling. The room spun slightly, and she fought to steady herself, her breath coming in shallow gasps. Memories of her daughter, Nadia, flashed through her mind—her bright smile, the way she clung to Christine’s leg when she was scared, the way she needed her mother to be strong. The thought of leaving her with her heartless father sent a jolt of panic through her.If she didn

    The air in the dimly lit office was thick with the awful scent of tobacco smoke, curling toward the ceiling. Shadows danced across the walls, flickering in the faint light of a single desk lamp that lightened a cluttered workspace. In the corner, a figure sat hunched over, the aura dark enough to make your stomach churn. He took a long drag from his cigarette, before he exhaled a cloud of smoke that hung in the air like a shroud. His voice was low and gravelly as he spoke into an old phone, the receiver pressed tightly to his ear.“How’s Christine settling into her new job?” he asked, his tone deceptively casual. He leaned back in his chair, the leather creaking under his weight, and watched the smoke swirl around him. “I want you to tail her closely. I need to know everything she does, every move she makes.”He paused, listening intently to the response on the other end, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the desk, a nervous habit that rhymes with the cold determination in his hea

    Christine woke up feeling refreshed and better.As she got dressed, Christine couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. She was wearing a beautiful brown gown that made her feel confident and elegant. She paired it with a pair of slip-on shoes and a sleek black bag, and she felt like a million bucks.As she looked in the mirror, Christine couldn't help but wonder if she was dressing up for a reason. Was it because she wanted to impress Reyes? She had been thinking about him a lot lately, and she couldn't deny the way she felt when she was around him.Christine pushed the thought aside and headed downstairs to the kitchen, where Jeanette and Nadia were waiting for her."Mom, you look beautiful!" Nadia exclaimed, giving Christine a big hug.Christine smiled and hugged her daughter back. "Thanks, sweetie. I'm just trying to look nice for work today."Jeanette raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean, he called me too? Has he called you?" she asked, her brow furrowed.Jeanette quickly faked a smile, trying to cover up her mistake.

"That's all I can ask for," he said, his voice filled with gratitude. "Take all the time you need, Christine. I'll be waiting."Christine nodded, feeling a sense of trepidation wash over her.

"You can't love another woman beside me. That's unfair."Reyes burst out laughing, his lips curling up in a lazy smile.
