The following morning Emiliano had gotten up early doing his morning workouts before he headed to the office still keeping in mind his other affairs on digging information about a woman he did not know or care about other than the power she held.
"Dimple I know I'm neglecting you but I promise tonight I'll make it up to you," Emiliano said over the phone to the worst woman who always followed him just because he had a night with her, getting out of the gym with a towel draped over his shoulders, Emiliano continued sweet-talking dimple as he made his way downstairs to get a bottle of water which he asked the helpers to get for him but they didn't do that
"Alright fine come to my office for some fun," he said in defeat and cut the call he looked up with a smile but it soon faded when he saw Sia going the same direction as him but stopped once she saw him
"My morning is cursed now" Sia muttered and chose to ignore Emiliano and tried to walk to the stairs but Emilia
Instead of calling Mario to have a private conversation, Sia decided they go out to somewhere private because she needed to make new plans to get out of the situation she was in now all because her parents had dropped in, in Oakville which meant trouble on her doorstep"I don't understand this, I called Tara, and she said the family weren't going anywhere for the time being, "Mario said as he dug his fork in the salad he had ordered as he tried to put two and two together"My days are numbered Mario, dad won't make it easy for me, "sia remarked as she leaned back and stared at her food, suddenly she lost her appetite just thinking about what her life would be like having her dad and mom around who did nothing but impose harsh rules on her"It's okay I'll come up with something simultaneously we are going to need you, Rhea," Mario said the last words to Rhea who has been quiet the entire time eating her food and almost lost in her world"Rhea!" Sia cold out and li
Sia was agitated as they approached the Navarro mansion, it has been a year since she saw her parents and now she knew what was coming for her. Her dad was not someone who would take trips out of his comfort zone unless he was planning something that would benefit his business.Sia thought otherwise as the car finally entered the Navarro mansion and once it came to a stop the car door was opened and like the boss she was supposed to be stepped out, she was expecting this of all things because a lot of male and female servants had lined up and she could see bodyguards with guns like ed up from the main gate up to the mansion entrance like some sort of mafia story where the mafia king places hundreds of guards around his den for protection"Welcome miss," the elderly lady said with a smile, and seeing her Sia knew who the lady was, the only trusted Mrs. Torres, her mom's maid servant, and her nanny when she was little. Mrs. Torres was like a grandma to her and
Sia was sitting in her room hugging her knees close to her body as she thought about her life since she was little everyone admired her all because she came from a wealthy family, at school she had a lot of admirers who pretended to be her friend when in reality they just wanted to take advantage of her. She never liked living a life of luxury as her dad wanted, to him, everything was business even on her birthday he hosted huge parties just to show off to his business friends and crack more deals worth millions."Honey, may I come in?" her mom said as she pushed the door open and walked to the window where Sia was sitting and seeing her mom Sia shifted away from her"I'm not in the mood, "Sia said and averted her eyes from her mom who sighed and sat beside her putting her hand on her shoulder"Sia honey, I know just what you are going through but.." she started but Sia stopped her from giving ridiculous excuses to defend her husband she wasn't going to fall it,
Sia had come to a certain realization and that was if life gives you lemons to squirt someone in the eyes. She had told this to Mario the first time they met and he corrected her that if life gives you lemons make lemonade sweeter than honey which she frowned upon. Nothing felt better than waking up early in the morning, she already buried what had happened back with her father and mother and decided to start her day with a smile since she was going to have lunch with her very own sister"Little Diego you know what baby, I would have taken you with me to meet your aunt...but I can't," she said with a smile as she dressed him in a cute blue matching tracksuit with white socks and kissed his forehead"Tara is very nice and love babies, so I bet you two would get along pretty well," she remarked as she smeared him with baby powder and little Diego made babies noises that had Sia giggling even more"Such a great mother you are"Sia heard Carmen's voice and with
Emiliano watched as the so-called manager lady showed them all the tiny baby clothes her store could offer, to prevent getting attention from the media he suggested they go to a private baby shop and Sia agreed because she hated attention. Everything was going smoothly the day was still going and her lunch date with Tara was an hour away"Sir, madam this is the best quality our store can offer...you won't find this anywhere," the lady with glasses said as she raised a few rompers and of course, Emiliano being a businessman rolled his eyes because people would say anything to make their products sell. He had no idea what the little guy needed, although he despised Sia his hatred had its limit because the little guy was much cooler than his careless mom"Pack whatever you can, I'm so done here," Emiliano said to the manager with frustration as he adjusted his cap because many mothers who were getting baby clothes kept looking at him m from somewhere, he glanced at Sia who wa
"You have to be kidding!" Angelo exclaimed as he fixed his gaze on Diego who was crying like someone had dropped him from the fifth floor, Angelo was lost not sure what to do because since he arrived at where Emiliano was, he had seen nothing but watch Diego cry nonstop, and now it was getting the best of him, as they tried to find out what was wrong with him. Emiliano was going insane having to take care of a baby who neither talked nor walked at least he would have known what he wanted but so far, nothing"That vile woman left and ran away" Emili, and said through gritted teeth as he held the baby carefully in his arms, he was tired from walking around trying to keep him quiet and of course, Trey was calling him nonstop saying the client was already waiting for him"D…do you think she dumped the baby and left for good"Angelo gasped dramatically a
"W...what's wrong Sia? come on drink this"Tara said with desperation and handed a glass of water to Sia who was coughing violently"I'm... I'm fine, thank you"sia with shaky hands took the glass and drank the water to wash down the solid lump on her throat formed by both fear and anxiety, how on earth did the Casanova find her"Are you confident…you look pale?" Tara said in a worried tone and walked to Sia trying to calm her down, but Sia's breathing increased as she tried to glance down the first floor hoping Emiliano wouldn't see her. If he saw her then it was game over on both sides because Tara would know about Diego and Emiliano would know that she was a tiny liar and a Navarro as well 'think Sia think' she thought with desperation as she adjusted her eyes to come up with an excuse to get rid of Tara"I think…" Tara started but just then her phone started ringing as she took it out and answered immediately"Yes, okay on my way," Tara said and c
"I don't have it, I forgot it somewhere," she said in a low tone again and saw Emiliano's anger flare up, now that she thought about it she regretted going to that boutique to change her clothes and since she wanted to wear something different so Emiliano would have a hard time finding her, she ended up forgetting her phone, she didn't even have her purse with her because it was in Emiliano's car"Damn it you are useless...it's getting late, we need to find somewhere to sit, forget that I need to sleep"he complained as they walked away from the restaurant, the sky darkened as thunder roared. For a while, Sia thought it was a car but it wasn't because lighting struck indicating it was going to rain any time soon as if they didn't have enough to deal with"How on earth did you get here without a phone and money huh, we need to book a five-star hotel""We don't have any money therefore we can't afford an expensive hotel...what's wrong with you," she said in anger a
"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
