It was already 6am in the morning, Adrianna was already awake and was making a phone call at the balcony, one could tell it’s Dora she’s talking to over the phone, “Thank you, Dora.” She muttered and could hear her kids voice from the background. “Is that Scarlett?” She asked “let me talk to her,” She added and immediately the phone was passed to Scarlett.“Mommy! We missed you,” Her tiny voice cried over the phone, Adrianna giggles.“I missed you too, Hope your brothers didn’t fight? I’m worried they might cause an headache for Aunt Dora,” Adrianna muttered.“No, mommy,” The little girl replied but before she could finish what she was saying, Scott hijacked the phone from her.“Mommy! When are you coming back?” He shrieked while Adrianna smiled.“Today! I can’t wait to come and play with you guys, What bout Skyler?” She asked and the phone was given to Skyler.“Come quick mummy, I missed your delicious foods,” The little boy pouted “Yes honey, now give the phone back to Aunt Dora,”

He rolled his eyes, “To what do I owe this visit? How did you get my password?” He asked as he got closer.She breathed in, “Who wouldn’t know the passcode to your house? Obviously it’s the day you became the president of your father’s company!

____“Are you okay?” He asked once again but Adrianna grab his wrist with a pouty lips.“You hurt yourself, damn,” She muttered then she started blowing up breeze onto the affected area. “Why did you get in the way? Now, you’ve hurt yourself,” She added and Miguel looked at her beautifully with a smile on his lips.“Ah, that hurts,” He cried out like a baby and Adrianna tenderly blew the breeze slowly.Then, a cab stopped right in front of them, it whined down the window, “Looking for a cab?” He asked and Miguel sprang up alongside with Adrianna.“Yeah, I-“ He couldn’t finish his words when his phone rang, “You can go ahead, it’s been a long day,” Miguel told her and she went in while Miguel walk away to pick his call.Soon, the cab was out of sight and Miguel looked at his caller ID, “Jessica?” He called with a scoffed then finally picked up.“Miguel, how are you!

What will become of me if my guests can’t play games?? Then why are they here? Huh?” He snapped at him.“I’m sorry sir, Er,,,it’s just that you haven’t turn on the machine, it can’t work if you don’t turn it on,” The game instructor explained and Miguel’s eyes fell back on the switch.His eyes flushed in embarrassment, “Damn!” He whispered softly and switch on the game and it came on.

He dropped her on the floor and started tapping her cheeks, “Adrianna? Wake up,” He muttered then starting pressing her chest for heart pump but it didn’t work.“Why isn’t she waking up? What else?” He asked worriedly then an idea popped into his head.

****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?

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.
