“¿Que está pasando aqui? (What's going on here)?" Zendaya asked almost dropping her newborn. She had seen Carlotta and Luciano having sex on the couch in their living room. “What does it look like puta?" Carlotta challenged. “¿Vas a Dejar que me hable de esta manera? (Are you gonna let her talk to me this way?)" She asked an unperturbed Luciano who shrugged his shoulders at her. “You, you're leaving this house this minute!" Zendaya screamed as she rushed upstairs and carefully put her baby in her court. Then rushed downstairs. “Puta, are you still here?" She fumed. “If anyone is a bitch, it's you. You just don't know how to treat people, you treat them like trash." She spat. “Luciano baby, I'd see you tomorrow night, I'm out of this hell hole." She sashayed into her room as Luciano got up stark naked and walked up to his room. Zendaya sat on the floor sobbing. What had she done to deserve this from Luciano? After all, she had sacrificed for him is this how he repaid her? Or
Alejandro's wounds were healing and he was thankful to Zoëlla. Their bond had become shaky because of how he had humiliated her. He had broken things off with Jovena even though she wasn't getting the hint and was coming unto him in the office. He found every means possible to avoid her at all costs. “Note estás volviendo más joven necesitas casarte.( Note , you are getting younger you need to get married)." His dad said through the phone. “Dad, you know I love Zoëlla and she's the one I want." He replied. “No hay forma de que te deje casarte con esa perra(There's no way I'm letting you marry that bitch), over my dead body. There are decent girls out there, get one to marry." He demanded. “I'm sorry dad my mind is already made up, it's Zoëlla or no one else." He hung up angrily. ~~ Luciano walked into the house and met the house in a mess. His wife was nowhere in sight. He searched their room but she wasn't there. He checked his daughter's room and there she
“Jovena, Jovena, Jovena, jeez can you stop!" Alejandro's raised his voice. “Can't you see it was just a fling? I don't feel anything for you, nada." He said to her as she sat on the couch. “What about what we shared?" She wiped her tears. “Look, it was fun while it lasted, but for now, I feel nothing for you, absolutely nothing. You better get your act together or you might lose your job." He told her. “Fuck this job Ale, te deseo." She said as his father walked into his office. “Alejandro Antonio, ¿Es así como tratar a una mujer? ( Is this how to treat a woman?) " He asked as he helped Jovena up. “No Papa, but what we had is over I love someone else." He said walking towards his seat. “That maid, that bitch? Can you compare her to this Mujer guapa?" He said as a smile was forming on Jovena's lips. She was glad she had his father by her side. That way, she could have Ale all to herself. “Dad, you cannot just come into my office and start taking sides with this Bueno para nada p
“My son is not going to marry you, you see this lady here? She's going to be my daughter-in-law, she's pregnant for him." Fernando said thinking Zoëlla would run off crying. “Congratulations Miss Jovena, I'm happy for you." She smiled at her shocking both of them to the core. “I, erm whatever, pack your things your leaving." She smirked as Zoëlla burst out into laughter. “Baby mama, the only one who can ask me to leave is Ale or myself, not even his father because he didn't employ me, so once again you're welcome." She sat down as she sipped her orange juice. “Perra irrespetuosa.( Disrespectful bitch)" His father cussed as he stormed off with Jovena in tow. “You can come out guys, they're gone," Zoëlla called as Ale, Dante and Coco came out of the kitchen. I'm sorry about this, Zoëlla, I just..." He trailed off as she hugged him. "Nosotras Estamos en esto junta (We are in this together), I saw this coming actually, so don't worry about this I've got you and I've waited long enou
“Abuelo, Estoy en casa!" Zoëlla called as she entered the house. She had missed this place so much. She remembered playing around with her cousins. “Mi hija." Her grandma hobbled down the stairs to hug her. “Abuela, te he echado de menos( Grandma, I've missed you), where's Abuelo?" She inquired from the older woman. “Estoy aquí zoëlla." He said joining his wife and granddaughter beneath the staircase. “It's good to have you home, ¿Dónde está el caballero del que hablabas? ( Where is the gentleman you spoke of)?" He asked her. “He would come to visit soon, grandpa, very soon." She assured him as they climbed up the stairs. “Hogar dulce Hogar." She murmured to herself. ~~ “Ale, where are you off to?" Jovena asked as he came out of his room holding a travel bag. “No es asunto tuyo(It is none of your business) " He added walking out on her. Jovena sat down quietly without a word. She never asked for this, she never wanted to fall in love but she did and the person she loves does
“Ale," Jovena said as he entered the house. “You're still here?" He asked. “Yes, yes I am I was waiting for you, I knew you would come to me." She said walking closer to him as he pulled her close and kissed her passionately. She smiled as she unbuttoned his shirt. A loud ring disrupted their moment, she tried to ignore it and continue with what she was doing. “Won't you get that?" He asked her. “Jovena, get your phone." He said louder as her eyes opened. It was a dream. She thought to herself as she woke up and picked up her phone. “Hello," She responded. “Tenemos una reunión en las próximas 3 horas, será mejor que traigas tu trasero aquí( We have a meeting in the next 3 hours, you better get your ass here) ." Layla sternly through the phone. “Okay, okay I'm coming." She dropped the call as she reluctantly got out of bed. “What a nice way to begin the day." She murmured as she walked into the bathroom. Jovena walked into the building majestically as if she had owned the pla
“What do you think you're doing here?" Jovena asked as she entered the house. Zoëlla had returned from Barcelona but didn't inform anyone because she wanted to surprise them. “I'm back to work," She said as a matter of fact. “Um, you don't work here anymore, you're fired," Jovena added. “Oh princessa, you don't get to fire me, Ale does." She smirked at her. “Well, he did, he asked me to throw you out." Jovena grinned as Dante descended the stairs. “She's right Zoëlla, he did," Dante added. “He did?" Both the ladies asked at the same time. “Hell no, he didn't, we missed you Zoëlla." He said hugging her right. “Yo también los extrañé, ( I missed them too ), " She said. “You got me there Dante, I thought you were serious," Zoëlla added as they sat by the pool. “You know Ale would never do that to you right? He trusts you more than anyone else." Dante replied. “I know, where's he anyway," She asked. “Se fue de viaje de Negocios( He went on a business trip)" Dante added. “Dant
“Good morning love," Zoëlla kissed Alejandro as he got to the table. “Morning hun, I could get used to this." He smirked. “Algunas de nosotras Estamos tratando de comer aquí( Some of us are trying to eat here) ," Jovena added angrily shoving Zoëlla's hips into the table making her hiss in pain. Alejandro stood looking at her in anger. All he could see was red. “Hey, it's fine... don't waste your energy on bitches who want to fit where they aren't wanted." Zoëlla jabbed smirking at Jovena. Zoëlla 1 Jovena 0 Zoëlla thought to herself as she walked past Jovena and whispered, “He'd never love you." Patting her on the head making her angrier. Jovena picked her handbag and stormed out of the house angry. “Have fun at work love, and oh, there's no need for a new maid, I'd still maintain my job at least it makes Jovena mad." She giggled as Ale walked out of the house. Dante and Coco had left to their houses claiming their vacation in Ale's house was over. She'd been hearing from Sia
2 years later. “Mi hija, I understand you, and how you feel and I realise you're right. It's time you got married and started your own family. For the company, it's yours, your property now and you've proved to be competent and capable of handling it. How I wished your parents were here to see this." Her grandpa said. “Graçias Abuelo, and thank you and Abuela for everything, you've been the best parents one could ever ask for." She smiled holding his hands. “And you're been the best granddaughter, ever." Her Abuela said walking into the study. “Go get your man, Zoëlla." She said hugging her. Alejandro walked into his office in smiles. “Hey, Mrs Montreal." Ale teased Layla. She had gotten married to Pierre a year ago. “Hi, Ale." She smiled. “It's good to see you well again." She added. “Thank you, for your support and just thank you." He genuinely added. “You're welcome, and I need you and Matilda to help me set up something for Zoëlla, I want to propose and she doesn't know
A couple of weeks had gone by and Zoëlla was busy with meetings and projects. She wasn't talking to Alejandro that much because she went to work early and returned late, exhausted and hungry. Alejandro buried himself in work often. He didn't want to be idle, else he would be affected by Zoëlla's absence and her not able to return his calls often. That's not what she promised. He thought rubbing his temple. As if on cue, his phone rang displaying her Caller ID as he picked up the call. “Hola," He said. “Hola Ale, Como estas?" Zoëlla asked. “I'm well and you?" She could sense he wasn't happy. “Are you fine, you sound unhappy." She said “It's just I don't know what's going on anymore, it looks like we're too busy for each other these days as if we're drifting apart." He sighed. He was right. It seemed like their relationship was on hold. They all prioritised their jobs over what they shared and that wasn't going to help them at all. “Youre right Ale, I realised that also and I do
“I'm going to be back before you know it," Zoëlla told him as he held her hands. “I know but, Te extrañaré(I will miss you), Zoëlla," Alejandro said. He went to see her off at the airport and insisted she took his private jet instead of boarding a plane. “I would miss you too Alejandro, I'm beginning to miss you." She smiled amid her sobs. “I'd have a surprise for you when you get back, greet Abuelo and Abuela for me, tell them I would come to see them soon." He said. “I will, but, I gotta go, Alejandro, " She said as she walked towards the jet. Her luggage was already inside. She turned and mouthed I love you to Ale who smiled as she climbed into the jet and waved. Within a few minutes, they took off as she looked out waving at them. Kathy and Steve helped Alejandro into the car as they drove home. “She would soon be back." She said rubbing his hand. “Hello," Alejandro said picking up his phone. “Hi, Sir the perpetrators have been caught and put behind bars." The police told h
“...Por el Poder que se me ha otorgado, los declaro marido y mujer. Puedes besar a la Novia( ...By the Power that has been vested to me, I pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride )." The priest said as Coco and Dante kissed. They had wanted to push their wedding further but Zoëlla insisted they got married soon, rather than postponing it because of them. Her grandpa had been putting much pressure on her to take over the family business and she was running out of time. She was torn between the two, staying by Alejandro or leaving him behind. There was no way she was leaving him behind. But how could she make her Abuelo understand? She thought to herself. “Hello up there, what's going on?" Alejandro asked her as she was lost in her world. She wheeled him further from the crowd. It was time she told him so they could find a way forward. “Mi amor, what's wrong?" He asked. “It Abuelo, his health is failing and..." She trailed off sighing. “He wants you to come to take over
Alejandro had been discharged from the hospital in a wheelchair. He had gone to work to monitor the progress. He was grateful to Zoëlla, Layla, Dante and Matilda. They had been the ones running the affairs of the company when he lay on his sickbed. Their stocks had risen higher than it was before. “Gracias por sus Buenos deseos ( Thank you for your good wishes)." He said to his board of directors. “And to you Dante, thank you for everything, you've proved to be a good brother and I owe you one," Alejandro added. “You're welcome, you would have done the same, or even much more for me." He tapped him on his back. “So Alejandro, with your current state are you going to stay home until you recover or you'd continue to work with us?" One of the members asked. “I've started away from work for far too long, I'm not going to let this accident be the reason I stop work, I would continue working." He firmly added as there was a round of applause in the room. Someone else would have found a
Alejandro sneezed drawing the attention of Zoëlla and Maria. He was opening his eyes as Zoëlla rushed to call Coco. When they got back to the ward, his eyes were opened and he was adjusting to his surroundings. “Ma? Zoëlla? What happened?" He asked the women. “Shhh, relax," Zoëlla said as she tapped his legs but his reaction showed one that couldn't feel them. “C-can you feel my hands on your legs?" She asked him. “No, why can't I move my legs." He began to panic. The bullet was lodged in his spinal cord causing damage to it. “Coco?" Zoëlla looked at her friend for answers. “I'm sorry to break this to you but, the bullet caused damages to your spinal cord, thus affecting the movement of your legs." She announced. It was as if a pin had been dropped unto the floor. There was no sound from anyone. They were trying to process the news they had just heard. “Sal, necesito estar solo ( Get out I need to be alone)." He said softly. “Ale.." Zoëlla trailed off. “¡Salir! ( Get out!)" H
Dante had scored yet another deal with the help of Layla, Matilda, Zoëlla and his fiancee, Coco. She had been a huge support to him during the previous years. They were to get married a couple of weeks ago and this happened to Alejandro, so they had to postpone the ceremony until further notice. He was glad at the way she handled the situation by being understanding. She was the doctor in charge of Alejandro. Monitoring him to see if he was improving or not. He had slipped into a coma a few days after he was taken from the ICU. ********** “You look stunning," Mateo said as Zendaya came out from the house. He held her hand and helped her into the car. He joined her in the car closing the door behind him as he drove off. He was glad they had found themselves together again. He was happy she was his again. He loved the smile that was evident on her face. He loved her new glow. He was happy she was herself again. He turned on the radio as Maroon 5's Girl like you played. They both lis
Alejandro lay in the ICU unconscious after his surgery. He had been shot by an unknown assailant when he was going on an important business meeting. Zoëlla stood behind the window numb. She couldn't cry, rant or say a word when she was informed about what had happened. To think everything was going on well after his father's denouncement and now this? His family and friends tripped in and out of the hospital to see if he was taken out of the ICU for the past three days. “Hey." Layla tapped her on the shoulder. “Layla, I've got a suitable candidate for this, Dante his younger cousin. He would be able to manage the company better than I do." She convinced. “That's not a bad idea, but I need to talk to him as soon as possible, the meeting was postponed after his accident, but they sent a letter this morning asking for a replacement. As if on cue, Dante walked towards Zoëlla and Layla. “Speak of the devil and he shall appear," Zoëlla murmured earning a glare from Dante. “Well, Layla
Zoëlla and Frank sat down in Alejandro's office as he offered them a cup of coffee. Just as he promised his board members, he had able to gain stability in his business, sealing this deal would top everything off. His empire would be much successful than it was before. Thank you, Fernando. Alejandro thought to himself. “May we get the final paperwork?" Zoëlla asked. She has sent a copy of the paperwork to Frank and Abuelo already. So they knew what it entailed and what they were in for. Layla handed her the documents as she went through making sure it was the same thing she had sent. Within a few minutes, they had signed the documents and sealed the deal. “Welcome on board," Ale said as he escorted them out of the building. Zoëlla dropped Frank off at his hotel and then headed to home. She saw an unfamiliar car parked at the driveway and decided to go check who it was after she had parked in the garage. “Hola?" She greeted knocking at the window. The person rolled down the window
