Sia's afternoon was none like any other, after she had her breakfast with Erica. Apparently the crazy woman she meant, they decided to go out shopping. According to Erica, there was a dinner party late at night and all guests at the hotel were all expected to go, hence to make it less obvious that she was not talking to her husband who appeared to be a significant guest she decided to drop everything for the night and pretend to be a devoted wife. Sia and Erica had gone to various malls to get something good to wear, even if Sia hated shopping she chose something for herself. To be honest, she was used to Emiliano choosing for her exactly what to wear, but now she couldn't ask him because she hated him which meant she had to choose a dress all by herself"I think you should have asked him for help"Erica said just as they were entering the hotel using a private entrance that was meant just for VIP guests"It's okay, the blue one will do"she replied in a low tone as she watched Lynn car
Like Sia expected, the party hall was mesmerizing, something only rich people would love and showcase. The air was fresh and lovely, from the decorations to the arrangement of tables. The lighting was breathtaking, and she knew millions were involved, seeing everything sia now recalled what her mom always said whenever she was planning a party 'sia sweetie if you want your guests to be swept by the storm, spend millions and don't stop until you steal the show' sia didn't understand Cristal's weird sayings, but she knew rich people loved nice things of course she was also in the same category, and hence she would enjoy herself"You are okay, you seem nervous"Emiliano whispered to her as they walked hand in hand further in, and yes sia was holding his arm so tightly, the place was filled with many people in classy clothes not just that, but cameras were flashing at her and Emiliano and everyone kept staring at her mostly. She hated attention the most and people's stares made her uncomfo
"Hey, hey wait"Emiliano managed to get to Sia and grabbed her arm turning her to him and sia didn't dare look at him, currently they were both in the garden outside the hotel, it was dark and everyone were at the party, and hence they were the only one outside"Let me go"she said in a calm voice and Emiliano held her by her shoulders while his other hand moved to her face and made her look at him, his gaze was soft as he looked at her"I was attending to a call I don't know how she got there"he went on and explained because for sia to react in such a way he was certain she thought something else"I didn't ask...you are free to do as you please"she remarked and tried to keep him away, but Emiliano pulled her in his arms still staring in her blue eyes. Her words really hurt him if she didn't know that. If seeing another woman close to him didn't make a difference to her, then why did she run away looking hurt,"Really? You feel nothing"he whispered as he searched in her eyes, he knew th
"It's not easy to say something when you know it will ruin a relationship... I've seen how Emiliano looks at you... He's always talking about you sia...the love in his eyes is real, and you complete him"Erin wiped her tears and said with a smile as she gripped Sia's hands since now there were sitting down. Sia had to admit Erin was a good woman, she sacrificed everything just to be with Armando"I understand"sia replied with some guilt to it, she didn't think about how Emiliano was feeling one bit, she recalled that night at the lake when he asked her something, she should have known that he was trying to tell her something important"Please think about it, you have a chance with him because his love for you is pure...don't ever doubt that you are his wife...if something is bothering you talk to him, I'm sure he will listen"again Erin said, she believed sia had a chance to make things right before anything was ruined, and hence she just needed someone to talk to her and make her under
Sia felt like collapsing, seeing what was happening before her. Currently, she and Erin had rushed outside the hotel only to see Emiliano's being dragged in a black car, and it drove away following Armando's car. She didn't know what was happening, and hence she too got in a car and Erin followed the other cars only to go to some mansion far away from the hotel, and now she was watching the four men chaining Emiliano in a room painted white"Armando please what are they doing to him"sia asked with desperation as she walked to Armando who was standing watching Emiliano through a glass, he had an emotionless expression which sia didn't like"Mrs Alvaro I'll have you know that my face is...priceless and anyone who dares to do anything funny has to pay"he remarked and raised his hand lightly and Sia saw as the men started beating Emiliano mercilessly with whips she didn't know but each time the whips landed on his bare skin she saw blood because they stripped him of his coat and white shi
"Don't worry, she loves you but just needed a little time to come around"Armando said seriously and Emiliano nodded and got up from the bed. He was still in pain, but he was happy to have seen Sia caring about him even though she denied him multiple times. He didn't like Armando's way of dealing with things but at the same time now he knew that his wife hated seeing him in pain"Are you going back?" Emiliano ignored Armando's words and asked the important question, and Armando sighed as he walked to the window and shoved his hands in his pockets. Emiliano understood his silence and walked to him and stood beside him"Yeah, early tomorrow...you can stay here if the hotel isn't good enough"he remarked and Emiliano nodded. The huge mansion was theirs both, it was an old hideout where they used to come and promised to bring their wives someday and well here they were"What's the rush, stay a bit more... I'm sure there gotta be something for us to do in this city"that was the problem, he a
The weather the next morning was rather chilly, cold air sipped inside the room through the open window and sia groaned as she shifted around on the soft bed, snuggling to her pillow. She had to admit the pillow was soft and warm she just wanted to snuggle close to it forever"Mmm"she moaned softly as a smile crept on her lips, she wanted to wake up, but her body felt heavy like something was on her however her eyes flickered open as she adjusted to the bright light and felt cold air brush against her leg. With lazy eyes, she lifted her head only to see him, sleeping so close to her, his arm was on her and SIS's leg was between his. Her heart thumped so loudly as she grew restless with the position both were in. Immediately she tried to keep him away without waking his up, but he was just too strong g to move, sia was helpless as she bit her lower lip awkwardly and shifted her eyes to the Greek god who was sleeping next to her. It wasn't old news that Emiliano had killed looks, but fr
"Are you kidding me!" Rhea exclaimed in disdain as she immediately covered her eyes with her hands and Logan darkened his expression as he set down his magazine and arched a brow at her"What?don't tell me you haven't seen anything like this before"he remarked with a scoff and Rhea strode to him and stood by his bed, the man was completely naked, he had no shirt or jeans on but just in his forbidden, she couldn't even say the word or think about it"How can you be so shameless huh"she said, but Logan groaned as he crouched the side of his chest which was bandaged and Rhea frowned? It had been two days since she had butchered him and since then, the man had been blackmailing her into doing whatever he wanted saying if she refused him then he would send her to jail, and now it was in the middle of the day she was working and Logan called her to rush to his villa directly"I'm in pain...can't you see...you forgot about your duties"he winced in pain as he showed a sad face and adjusted to
"That...jerk"she muttered with clenched fist and prepared to head out and get her phone so she could call him however her journey was short because just then a happy emiliano opened the bedroom door to Diego's room and walked in with a smile on his face"Hey champ...hey wifey"the man said with a smile and pulled Sia in his arms but the woman frowned and shrugged him off"How could you...what have you been telling our son huh"she asked with anger in her voice and emiliano who knew what was happening chuckled nervously and leaned to kiss her but she slapped him away"Bedtime stories"he simply said and sia shrugged him away"Really?Diego...what does your precious daddy wants?"sia lowered down and asked her son cutely and Diego looked at emiliano then back at his mom and grinned like a big boy"Daddy said he...wants another me...but a in princess form""Emil!"she growled through gritted teeth and the man looked back awkwardly and sia moved close to him so she could hit him in anger for sa
*Two years later*Years passed by like the wind and life was going great, no one knew that Angelo and Tara would finally tie the knot and settle down. Not just that but Tara was expecting her first baby and like a joke Angelo was reported to be the worst husband not because he didn't take care of his wife but forbade his wife from doing any heavy work and of course Tara didn't argue for she was lucky to be cared for"Is he kicking...I can't hear anything…" Angelo said as he connected his ear to Tara's protruding tummy as she laid back on the couch, supported by pillows. She didn't know being pregnant could consume so much of her strength which made walking impossible if not for Angelo who helped her out to do her daily routine"The baby must be sleeping Angelo...stop disturbing"Tara chuckled and slapped Angelo away who frowned and moved away from his wife"You look gorgeous"he complimented and planted a kiss on her belly and Tara ran her hand in his hair as a smile crept on her face"
*Six months later*"What!how did that happen?"sia exclaimed as she held her laptop high so she could get a better view of her older sister but Tara was doing everything she could to only show her face due to the certain embarrassing situation she was in and sia frowned at her"I don't see why you are surprised little sis"Tara chuckled awkwardly, it was like every time she and sia would video call and talk however it pleased them and every time her little sister would ask her if she had any plans to settle down but that wasn't the case"How is that possible when he's bragging about it to Emiliano huh"it was too good to be true but it had been six months and everything in everyone's lives seemed okay. No more enemies to fight. After that incident with Dimple who was sentenced for five years and like promised Crawford didn't dare get her out, Angel recovered but wasn't charged with any crimes since he was manipulated to do what he did hence had gone back to rehabilitation center to conti
"That stupid fool failed and now…'' Dimple said in frustration as she packed her clothes in a bag, she already made plans to get out of the country as soon as possible because she already knew that Angel didn't succeed in killing Sia like she manipulated him to do. It was simple to enter the hospital, get Angel free and inject him with his favorite drug which drove him insane. A little tale about the hatred he had for sia and Emiliano and the job was done, but she had no idea that Angel could fail to shoot Sia and end her once and for all"M...madam dinner is ready"Dimple heard one of the servants say and as if adding fuel to a fire "Get out your disgusting maid!you pathetic creature out!"she shouted so much and threw someone to the lady who flinched in fear and ran out of the room. Here she was busy running away from the law because if Angel opened his mouth and said something against her then she was going straight to jail, "That fool is incompetent... I should have done the job m
Rhea entered the bedroom sia was in and sighed, she was just sitting there without blinking. It was like her friend was lost in some unknown world. Rhea walked to her and sat on the bed "You look like hell bestie"Rhea said with a chuckle as she tried to make sia react to her sarcasm, but her friend was just staring at her, it broke Rhea's heart to see sia in such a state it was horrifying"It wasn't your fault...he was bad and all you did was protect yourself from him"Rhea said softly and reached for sia's hand and held it in hers. "I'm fine Rhea"sia muttered and with a surprise look Rhea lifted her head only to find sia wiping her tears"Sia...are you alright...tell me...are you okay"she asked desperately and sia nodded a little. Yes, she was shocked but mostly scared. She feared Emiliano and his family would point fingers at her. In the past, she had fault with Emiliano over Angel which made it look like she didn't want him and after what happened she was scared Emiliano would say
Logan sighed as he pushed the bedroom door open to find Rhea sitting by the window. After they came back, he gave her time to freshen up, and now she was sitting comfortably in warm clothes, and hence he walked to her and sat beside her"Here"he handed her a glass of mango juice just like always. Rhea took it with a smile not sure what to do or say, but they needed to talk"There was no need to hide that from me Logan"she said more like a whisper and kept her eyes away from him, of course Logan was aware of what he did, but he wanted to tell her which wasn't a big deal, but Patricia didn't want anyone to know about her condition. It was private, and she begged him not to tell anyone, and hence he couldn't go against someone's wishes even if he wanted to"I know sweetie, but I had no right to disclose such info without being told to do so"Logan said even when he knew he sounded ridiculous and yes Rhea felt a sharp pain in her chest as she slowly took a sip of her cold drink"Y...you do
"P...please Angel drop the gun...shooting me won't...won't give you anything"Sia said while shaking her head hoping Angel would stop his advance and leave in peace. However, the expression on his face was murderous, he had his gun pointed at her"I've always hated you...do you know why...because you ruined my plans...if you didn't follow me that night"he said with bitterness as he took small predatory steps towards Sia who was backing away slowly, it was scary seeing how crazy angel looked. He wasn't in his right senses, and hence he could do anything without thinking twice "if you didn't poke your silly nose in my affairs then...you wouldn't be here with me pointing a gun at you...you little snake is responsible for the condition I'm in...you are the one who let him lock me in that disgusting rotten place!"angel remarked word by word full of hate, his eyes shot nothing but venom as he kicked the nearest chair to him and sia flinched as her body connected to the dressing mirror and an
"P...please sir...you s...should go back... I... I don't want...you and her...to...she will misunderstand you again,"Patricia said with great difficulty in breathing as Logan shook his head for her to stop talking. She was lifeless and could barely keep her eyes open. Her skin looked as if it would fall off anytime soon and large dark circles were around her eyes"Please patty...we are friends…just calm down y...you will be fine"Logan whispered as he tried to make her stop struggling, but the lady was looking uncomfortable especially with several tubes connected to her, she was sweating than normal, and he feared something bad would happen to her. The security guard at her villa had called him that patricia suddenly collapsed and fell down the stairs"S...sir...I'm…delighted for...everything you have...done for me... I...didn't mean...to cause so...much trouble,"she said and closed her eyes for a while, tears lingered in her eyes as she bit back a sob. It had a only been a month since
Dimple was sitting in the lounge laughing like a crazy person while four servants stood on the side line with their head bowed in fear as they watched their boss drink champagne. If anyone saw her, they would think she had gone insane, but the lady was just having a good time. Crawford, who had gotten tired of, hearing his daughter's crazy laugh all the way to his room upstairs came down and frowned when he saw empty bottles scattered everywhere"What are you waiting for...clear this trash away!"he yelled at the servants and the four flinched as they tried to do something, but the glare dimple gave them had them running away "What's all this huh...now I have a drunkard of a daughter in my home?" Crawford said in irritation as he snatched a bottle of liquor from her and dimple frowned,"I'm celebrating my victory dad...see this...the Alvaro's are throwing a huge party today, and I'm...and I'm...celebrating though...they didn't invite me hahaha"she remarked followed by loud laughter su
