Adrianna froze from where she stand, she can’t believe her ears! He’s defending her? She found herself staring hopelessly lost at Miguel, “Maybe he’s kind-hearted,” She told herself while Jessica folded her fist.Filled with jealousy and rage, “How dare you Miguel! You just disgraced me in front of a commoner! I’m reporting you to Mr Fernandez, your father!” She yelled and with that she stormed out of the office.Miguel hissed and looked at Adrianna whose gaze was keenly fixed on him, “You have works to do, remember?” He snapped and immediately she ran back to her desk and pretended to be reading the books but instead, she was stealing glances at him as the scene replayed in her head.Then, all of a sudden Miguel sprang up on his feet and walked out.‘Where is he going? Why did he defend me? Is he actually nice and kind hearted?’ These were the questions that filled Adrianna’s head but her eyes feel back to the books, she twisted her lips, ‘Heavens! When will I find this books?’
(Next morning-6:45am)Adrianna came into the office every early, her face was glowing and her lips were beaming as she looked at the paper in her hand, “There, Mr jerk! I proved to you that I’m useful!” She muttered to herself as she dropped the paper on his desk but her eyes went to the one already on the table.She narrowed her eyes and went to it, standing in the position where his seat is and she picked the paper from the middle of a book, She gasps, “T-that jerk! He,,,he made me stayed up all night for nothing! That obnoxious jerk!” She laments and fumes Then, a sudden breeze blew the paper form her hand and sent it flying in the air till it dropped beneath the table.“Shit!” Adrianna groans and bent over to pick up the paper, “There you are!” She picked the paper and was about standing on her feet when her sharp eyes ran to the green button under the table.She blinked her eyes, “What’s this? Oh-“ she asked the suddenly gasped “Could it be a camera?” She pondered and her curios

What have you done Skyler!” *****Adrianna was just coming back from where she went to get Miguel coffee when she got a text from her kid’s school
“Yes, He’s my son,” Miguel added shoving his hands into his trouser pocket. “And it’s best if your son apologizes to my Son, it’s wrong of him to accuse him of that,” Miguel demanded Both Dora and Adrianna dropped their jaw as they kept staring at Miguel who was obviously playing along with Skyler. “Sir..”Adrianna whispered.The woman scoffed, “Well, he probably didn’t know they have a dad, we are sorry!” The woman apologized rolling her eyes “But she needs to pay for my son’s injury,” She added and Miguel brought out his phone and call a number.“Long time, Amber, Yeah. Okay,” With that he dropped the call and turn to the woman. “I just spoke to the owner of this school, he said he’s going to take care of your son’s injury and I think that’s enough to solve your issues, right?” He told her glaring at her “Hm, okay! Let’s go Ryle,” With that the woman left. “I guess it’s all settled, I may leave now,” The teacher in charge said and left also.Adrianna breathed out, “Phew! Thank God

You made the breakfast already,” Dora beams as she walked over dinning table.“I felt like making it today before leaving to work,” Adrianna muttered and dish out the flat bread and omelette. “And too bad, this was all I could make.” Dora perceived the aroma “Hmm! This is good!” She said and gave her a thumbs up, “You’re really good!” She licked her lips. “Really? I’m flattered,” Adrianna blushed and then, her kids marched out in their uniforms. “Cuties!” She called happily.“Mummy! Good morning! Good morning, Aunt Dora! ” They greeted in chorus.“Hope you slept well?” She asked and the trio nod taking as they sit down on their respective chairs.“Mommy, I’m sorry about yesterday, please your boss we are sorry for disturbing his peace,” Skyler quickly chip in before digging into his food.Adrianna’s heart melt, “Aww, I have such a sweet boy, don’t worry! My boss is not mad at you guys in fact I think he enjoye

Fred burst into Mr Fernandez room, filled with rage. “Why did you do that?” Fred scowled while Mr Fernandez dropped the magazine he was reading and looked at him.“What do you think? It’s time for the owner to take it,” He snapped while Fred balled his fist angrily staring at him through clenched teeth.“Dad,,,I did everything! I did everything for you! I did everything in my power for you to love me and to satisfy you,” Fred yelled as tears dropped one after the other from his eyes but Mr Fernandez turned his eyes away, feeling less bothered.“I have made my decision and that won’t change, I will talk to Miguel when he takes over to give you a good position ,” Mr Fernandez callously said taking his magazine and went back to reading. “Close the door on your way out,” He added with no remorse.Fred felt a surge of anger rise within him, clenched his jaw in fury, “Don’t say I didn’t warn you,” He sneered and walked out of his room afterwards. ** ** * (The Next Day) T

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?

****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! Thank you!” She exclaimed.Few minutes later, “Can she now walk on her own, talk, eat now?” Adriana asked the doctor in charge glancing back at her mother, who was staring at the window.“Don’t worry Ms Adriana, She responded to treatment while she was still in coma and there’s possibility of h

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?

[TWO DAYS LATER]“Guess what kids?” Miguel asked his kids as he drops a plate of pancakes and fruit juice.“Just tell it to us already, Daddy,” Scott pouted taking a slice from the pancake.“Can’t you at least guess?” He teased while the kids shook their heads.“No Daddy, all we can think about is the pancakes on our table,” Scarlett whined, Miguel chuckles.“Okay, okay, I’m taking to the amusement park after you’re done eating, isn’t that exciting?” He finally spilled the bean.“Yayhhhh! 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.
