Alana Woke up to the sound of her alarm clock. Like always, Mrs. Marks was already arranging her things. Alana sat upright. Rubbing her eyes a little while trying to get out of bed

“Good morning, madam, I hope you slept well,” Mrs. Marks said with a smile which Alana returned

“You don't have to… I'll arrange my clothes once I get back,” Alana said and got out of bed.

“It's my job, don't worry madam, I'll make sure you are comfortable" Mrs. Marks smiled and finished up what she was doing…she was a happy lady. I wondered why Ricardo was hiring that nurse. Especially when she said Santiago was mute

“Mrs. Marks, about Santiago…well, I want to meet him but…” I started saying, I was hesitant. Afraid I might say something inappropriate, but I feared talking to Santiago. The idea of being labeled a stepmom scared me. What if he didn't like me

“He's a sweet boy, actually you can go and see him now… he just woke up,” Mrs. Marks said and took the laundry basket and left the room.

    Alana reached the company earlier than the first day before Ricardo could show up"Good morning love…did you sleep well," Brigitte greeted her as they proceeded to the check room. "Yeah, how about You?" Alana asked although she had a terrible morning. To think she was still troubled about Ricardo's stipulations. She failed to sign the contract unless he uttered it and made a few changes"Well, great as always… today is special though, I hope you are ready?" Brigitte asked as both picked up their ID'S and left the room"What is it?" She was new to the company. Already she had a quick orientation and knew a few departments and heads. However, she was yet to know more about it. Especially where all the merchandise was made"Every month end, the boss throws a small party for his employees…especially new ones… it's to welcome them to the company and team, so today we'll hear what plans he has for us " Brigitte explained as they headed to the canteen to grab some breakfast.

    Alana decided to knock, whatever was happening inside didn't concern her. She came strictly to deliver the file; Hence she knocked a few times and waited. Shortly after, the door creaked open, and a shirtless man covered in various colors of paint walked out“Umm, who are you,” the man asked without letting her in, Alana was stunned to see him. For a second thought, she was seeing some runway models or something. From the color of his hair to the contours of his face. He was nothing but good-looking, with thin red lips and sharp dark eyes. That playfulness tugging at the corners of his eyes as he scanned her made Alana uncomfortable “Well, I came to give you this,” she regained her wits and extended her hand to give him the files when he smiled and opened the door wide for her“Come on. Pardon me,” he said, inviting her inside. Alana was a little hesitant, she shook her head and decided not to go in there“Sweetheart, relax and come inside. I'm sure Ricky sent you,” he said and dragg

    Alana tossed and turned and finally, her alarm clock went off. As much as she wanted some peace. She couldn't sleep through the night. And when she sat upright. She pushed her hair off her face and tied it in a bun. Glancing around she realized where she was“Just great” she muttered and fixed her eyes on the man sleeping on the bed with sheets wrapped around his body. For a grown man, he didn't know how to sleep. To think he was by the edge of the bed if he moved even a little. He would fall right off the bed and land heavily on the floor“Ouch,” Alana muttered just thinking about the man falling made her want to laugh her lungs out, She glanced down where she was and let out a helpless sigh. Having her mother-in-law was a bad idea. She came unexpectedly to her son's house, but everything was ruined when she came to know she was sleeping in the same room.Alana recalled how angry Marcela was at her and Ricardo. She immediately asked Mrs. Marks and other servants to move her things t

    Alana sipped on her coffee while going through some files. She was surprised she had her own little office next to the boss's office. As his secretary, it was convenient for her to have her space, so she could carry out her work efficiently After a long conversation with Marcela. Alana wondered what her mom got her into. Marcela begged her to stay and be Santiago's mother. She asked about his biological mother, unfortunately, Marcela said it was something she wouldn't want to discuss“Hello Alana,” the door opened and Brigitte came in, Alana smiled shoved her laptop away and pushed the chair backwards “So, how's your morning?” Alana asked, and Brigitte sat down and admired the office. Not pretty. She wondered how Alana managed to get the boss to give her an office. His former secretary never had one“Great just fighting with the demons,” Brigitte said rolling her eyes in annoyance and started to open her lunch pack“You mean your husband's issue… why are you ashamed of it…he's hands

    Alana Stretched her neck as soon as she was done making dinner, one of the things she loved doing. After coming home early. She decided to do something a wife would do. Although she didn't want to“You can give it to him… the food smells delicious madam,” Mrs. Marks exclaimed when she came to the dining room and found me debating on whether to take the food to Santiago or call him to the dining room, “Are you certain?” I was afraid of going near him. Although Ricardo was still at the office. Unfortunately, my services weren't needed; hence he sent me away. I had no choice but to come back“Very sure, Santi is a sweet boy…you can take this to him,” Mrs. Marks coaxed, it had been two days since Marcela left, apparently she only stayed with us for two days. Because her house was being cleaned. It was just around the corner“Did you burn the things I gave you?” I asked while serving the food. Two days ago, I asked Mrs. Marks to burn the designs for me. I didn't know my way around the man

    “I need all the details within this week,” Ricardo informed his manager and the man nodded,“Rest assured sir, everything will be in order,” the man said, getting up and gathering the files he came with. Ricardo waved him off and the man walked away. When he left, Ricardo went into deep thought just as the door opened getting his attention and Alana walked in nervously As weird as it was having his wife as a secretary, Ricardo had to say, she was better and more accurate with work than anyone else“What can I do for you, Ms Mendoza?” Ricardo asked while leaning against the chair. He didn't remember calling for her. However, a nervous Alana cleared her throat awkwardly and stood across the desk“Well, Mr. Romero. “ She started, apart from calling him sir or any other title. Alana found it appropriate to call him Mr. Romero, that way it would be less awkward, “Go on?” Ricardo remarked more suspiciously, Alana nodded and placed some files on his desk. Ricardo waited for the woman to te

    The dinner meeting started, and Alana was a little hesitant. She didn't think she was needed since there were all men. It turned out they went to a famous five-star restaurant. Alana had never seen anything so beautiful and elegant. The service was magnificent, the atmosphere was mesmerizing and refreshing, and Alana relaxed in her chair. Their table was a private one, far from other customers. She guessed Ricardo was a regular at the restaurant because immediately they arrived, the waiter and manager came to greet him and guided them to the reserved table“This is Ms Mendoza, my secretary,” Ricardo made the introductions once they settled down, Alana nodded at the men with a smile“Nice to meet you,” she said politely, and the men grinned and stared at her“She's beautiful, I didn't know you got yourself a new secretary "“But remember, you are a married man,” the two men teased Ricardo when he introduced Alana to them as his secretary.

The voice of the woman sounded very familiar; therefore she decided to see who it was“Don't worry sir, he's in safe hands… I'll make sure he'

    Alana and Ricardo snuggled in bed together, despite the doctor telling Ricardo to go to his room. He refused and wanted to be beside his wife. Alana was happy to be in the man's arms.“But it was untraceable…” Alana said with a frown. She was still confused about how Ricardo and the doctor managed to know exactly the poison Rocco used on Santiago. “We did a few tests, and apparently, he was injected with succinylcholine. It's a paralyzing agent that can cause respiratory arrest and is quite difficult to detect,” The elderly doctor explained while Ricardo nodded. “It's acquired through a black market…it's illegal and quite difficult to get the current,” Ricardo chimed in as well, and Alana was stunned. “I had Dario and Dennis watching Rocco. He met with some men who provided him with it,” Ricardo added, and Alana now understood everything. It seemed Ricardo knew something was wrong. She held on to him, knowing she was so lucky to have him.“We had the team male neostigmine, which rev

    Ricardo slowly opened his eyes, blinking against the harsh hospital lights. The throbbing pain in his body intensified as he tried to sit up, only to be met with a firm hand pushing him back down. Startled, he turned his head to see Marcus standing by his bedside, a look of concern etched on his face.“Lie down, Ricardo. You're badly hurt,” Marcus urged, his voice filled with worry. Confusion clouded Ricardo's mind as he tried to piece together what had happened. Why was he in a hospital bed? And why was Marcus here? Then, like a bolt of lightning, a memory flashed in his mind, and he jolted upright, ignoring the protests of his body.“Alana! Where is she? Is she okay?” Ricardo's voice trembled with fear as he frantically looked around the room, his heart pounding in his chest. Before Marcus could respond, Ricardo swung his legs over the side of the bed and attempted to stand, his body protesting with every movement. Ignoring the pain, he staggered towards the door, determination in h

    “You're shameless, forcing a woman to be with you,” Alana was in disbelief. By now, Rocco was only in his boxes. Threatening to have his way with her.“I've always loved you, Alana. I've always cared about you and wanted nothing but to give you the world!” Rocco made a low yell, the fact that he fancied her since the first day he set his eyes on her hurt him.“I'm a married woman!”“And I'm a man who deeply loves you…what does he have huh…what does Ricardo have that I don't…” he questioned. This time, his voice was low and held emotions. "I have money just like him, good looks, you name it…but he's nothing but a criminal!” “You're insane Rocco, you need help,” Alana refused to give in, despite how sorry she felt for him. She wouldn't forget that he poisoned a child.“I'm insane because I love You, you're the first woman who makes me feel this way…Alana please give me a chance,” Rocco's voice softened, he was nearly begging her to love him.“I don't love you… I love my husband…”“He's

    At the sight of Ricardo. Rocco lost it as he grabbed Alana by the hair and pointed a gun to her head. Ricardo's eyes widened in horror as he watched Rocco grab Alana by the hair and point a gun to her head. The guests gasped in unison, and their faces pale with fear.“Let her go this instant!” Ricardo growled as he took a step forward. Several guards rushed forward and surrounded him with guns pointing at him. “Let my wife go Rocco!”“Oh, shut up Ricardo…no one wants you here,” Rocco said lazily as he gripped Alana's hair even more tightly. The cold weapon connected to her skull frightened her.“You're courting death!” Ricardo snapped, taking a step forward. His fists clenched at his sides, his eyes blazing with anger. But before he could take another step, many guards rushed forward, surrounding him with guns pointed at him. “Hold it right there, Ricardo,” one of them warned. Rocco sneered, his grip on Alana's hair tightening. “Oh, shut up, Ricardo. No one wants you here.” Rocco re

    Rocco was in the master bedroom humming to a tune as he selected a tuxedo to wear. He couldn't hide his happiness. The room was filled with several boxes, and all were custom-made tuxedos specifically shipped for his wedding. The door creaked open without his realization, and it was Stacey who walked in.“Oh for goodness's sake…. Is this charade even necessary,” Stacey scoffed as she jumped over a box, careful enough not to hurt himself. Rocco heard her, but he was too overjoyed to pay her any attention. “You're really enjoying this, aren't you?” Stacey said with a smirk as she came to stand beside Rocco. He threw her a lazy glance and continued humming to a romantic tune.“Nothing will ruin my day, except a witch, like you,” Rocco retorted mockingly, Stacey rolled her eyes in annoyance and picked up a white tuxedo.“You should thank this witch for coming up with a brilliant idea to separate Alana and Ricardo,” Stacey smirked even more while Rocco's facial expression darkened.“One m

    Alana and Ricardo were stuck in an intense staring contest. Ricardo didn't dare let her go as he kept her in his grip. She seemed unhappy as she fought to keep him off her.“We are married…whatever the problem is, I'm here to solve it,” Ricardo whispered desperately. She just walked out on their marriage without any explanation. “And don't you dare say you feel nothing for me…don't,” he murmured as he leaned forward, their faces an inch from each other. Alana tore her gaze from him, her breath coming in short.“Please, babe, don't do this…” Ricardo cupped her face lovingly and tilted her back until she was facing him. Her eyes were closed shut, and when she opened them. Ricardo saw that cold gaze from the day she gave him the divorce papers.“Let me go!” She made a low yell and managed to get out of his hold. Before he could hold her, Alana pushed him away.“I don't care what you think, but it's over between us…” she slowly walked to the sitting area and leaned on it. “Leave me alone

    Alana stood by the window, her stunning red dress shimmering in the light. The strapless gown hugged her curves, showcasing her bare back and thigh through a daring slit. Her hair was sleekly pinned up, and diamond jewelry sparkled around her neck and ears. As she gazed out at the city lights, the cold breeze whispered across her skin, leaving a trail of goosebumps in its wake. Despite the chill, she exuded warmth and sophistication, a true vision of beauty at night.“Are you ready?” came a deep male voice. She didn't have to turn to know who it was. Her hands tightened on the purse she was holding. “It's our engagement at least smile,” it was Rocco who came into view, Alana was doing everything possible to keep her emotions in check. She glanced at Rocco with a stern gaze.“Rocco, stop this… I did what you asked…give me the rest of the antidote,” Alana said, her voice laced with emotions. Rocco stood beside her and shoved his hands in his pockets.“You are not entitled to make demands

    Ricardo's heart raced as he parked his car in front of the hospital. He practically sprinted through the doors, his mind filled with fear and anxiety. His only child had been lying in that hospital bed unconscious and fighting for his life. The doctor's grim prognosis had shattered Ricardo's world, leaving him feeling utterly helpless.As he rushed down the sterile white hallways, he couldn't shake the feeling that the doctor was keeping something from him. How could Santiago suddenly be awake and eating when just yesterday he was on the brink of death? Ricardo's mind raced with questions, but he pushed them aside as he finally entered Santiago's room.The sight that greeted Ricardo stopped him in his tracks. There, sitting up in bed with a tray of food in front of him, was his son. Santiago looked pale and weak, but there was a spark of life in his eyes that Ricardo hadn't seen in days. Tears welled up in Ricardo's eyes as he rushed to Santiago's side, engulfing him in a tight embrac

    Ricardo sat beside his son, and he held his son's hand. He watched him connect to various tubes and machines. His heart ached, and his son was always healthy, so what exactly happened to him.“Hey,” someone said from behind, Ricardo regained his senses, realizing there was another person in the room. It wasn't Alana, but Chloe. “He's going to be fine,” Chloe muttered softly as she walked closer to him. Ricardo only nodded and kept his gaze on Santiago.“We can try a different hospital… I have a friend who is a good doctor… I can ask for her help,” Chloe added when Ricardo didn't reply. The room was in utter silence. Chloe knew Ricardo was hurt. He loved Santiago more than anything. “I'll take care of that. You can leave now… I don't want my wife seeing you,” Ricardo said coldly. She knew Alana never liked Chloe. Having her around would make things awkward “Ricardo, I know I did some pretty bad things…trust me, I've changed, and I just want our old friendship back,” Chloe remarked wi
