What is this am hearing? Is this true?” That was the first question he threw at him as soon as Miguel picked up.“No sir, It’s a rumor,” Miguel voice could be heard over the phone while Jessica bumped in.“Dad…” She called but kept shut she saw he was already on a call with Miguel.“Whether it’s true or not, make sure it doesn’t affect our family in anyway! Take it down as soon as you can or we might be calling off the engagement,” The man snapped giving no room for Miguel to explain himself and with that he dropped the call.Jessica scoffed angrily “Dad! Why did you say such things! He should be supporting him not threatening him!” She snarled but her father looked away.“I’m doing what’s best for the family, you don’t want a bad name for yourself right?

~~~Next Day (MFR-company)The reporters were constantly at the front gate of the MFR company, they’ve been there without going home for the entire day.Miguel swallowed heavily as he saw them, his heart ached.“When are they going to leave me alone!”He hollered watching them from his glass walls but was distracted by Willow’s presence.“Sir, the Fagon accessories are bent on having an interview with you immediately if you don’t want them to cut off the contract they signed few days ago,” Willow rushed in to tell him the information since most of Miguel’s client had contacted him.Miguel licked lips as he rub the lower one with his thumb, “I will have a zoom meeting with their director when I get home and handle whatever issue we might be having for now,”He instructed while Willow nod. “You may go,” He said but Willow stood there.“A..re you sure this is going to work out?

****One week Later****Adriana opened the door to Mrs Alberto’s room, she dropped the fruits she got from the market on the desk, “Mom, the doctors said avocado and bananas are good for you,” She muttered softly to her mom who was still unconscious.She pulled out a chair and sat, she took her hand into hers and pat on it gently, “I know you can do it mom, It’s been a week since you’re been on that bed, please,,” Adriana sniffs preventing tears from falling.Adriana wanted to let go of her hand but it held her back instead and one of her fingers moved, Adriana quickly looked at her mom who was still struggling to open her eyes.When she finally did, her eyes met with Adriana’s teary eyes. “Mom!

Mrs Alberto shook her head and waved the DNA test results in her hand, she started walking closer to Jessica, “I don’t know why you lied about that to me but I have taken the right way to amend this between you two,” She breathed. Jessica glowered, “ What the fuck are you trying to say mom? Don’t tell me….” Jessica shook her head and averted her gaze at Adriana. “Yes, Adriana is your blood sister,” Mrs Alberto announced making the gun with Jessica almost break into pieces and looking lost. The corner of Adriana’s eyes crinkled, “Can, Can, someone tell me what’s going on here? Why am I Jessica’s sister?” Adriana asked croakily Then Mrs Alberto walked to Adriana, “I’m sorry child, I’m sorry I came late for you.

That’s going to be fun, we should finish this food quickly,” Skyler suggested happily and the other two followed him, they started rushing their foods.“Take it easy, don’t let that food choke you. The amusement park isn’t running away?” Miguel cautioned them but none of them were listening to him.Adriana walked in from the balcony, “Miguel?” She called diverting Miguel’s attention to her.“Yes, my darling?” Miguel answered her.“Dora just called me, she said she’s coming over for a visit.
