(Alana)It was a lovely afternoon, unfortunately, Ricardo showing up without telling me made me uncomfortable. I guided him to my office. Despite how I was looking, I did everything I could to keep calm."The view is beautiful, " I said when we walked up to the large balcony which had a vast evergreen garden. The blooming flowers made the scenery quite bewitching. It was perfect for a photo shoot and just relaxing."You like it?" Ricardo glanced back over his shoulder and I nodded. The fact that he chose a perfect and peaceful location made me happy."I love it, you didn't tell me you were coming," I said but proceeded to voice out my opinion. The man didn't answer right away but seemed to be thinking. I scanned him from head to toe. He had his hands shoved in his pockets when he fully turned to me. I felt butterflies in the pit of my stomach."I came to see my wife…and well…" the man said hesitantly just as there was a light knock at the door. I was going to get it when the door f
The night sky was aglow with bright city lights. The pale crescent moon shone like a silvery claw at night sky. Alana was busy getting ready for the evening party. With what was happening, she knew any better than to go. It was clear that Marcela was clueless about Joslyn and her family. “Done,” she muttered and stood in front of the mirror. The dress came out nice, although she didn't know if she overdid the make-up and hair. However, she was ready to go. “Alana, are you ready…meet me downstairs," there was a knock on the door, and it was Ricardo. “Sure, I'll be down in a minute!” She shouted back and hurried to get her purse and do some final touches. She had locked herself in her walk-in closet while Ricardo was getting ready in the bedroom. Meanwhile, Ricardo was busy giving instructions to his men in the main hallway just by the stairs. “Bro, it's going to be okay… I'm sure they won't mess this up,” Alex said just as Ricardo dismissed the security men. But Ricardo was restl
The entire party room had their eyes on Alana. On the other hand, Joslyn was busy sobbing while her friends coaxed her to stop. Alana saw as the women gathered behind kept throwing insults at her and questioning her upbringing. One thing she knew was that Joslyn and her mom didn't invite Marcela to have fun. But she planned everything. "Marcela, are you going to let this pass…everyone knows it…the media knows this…my husband's business is getting affected by all this," Maria said with sobs and her husband held her hand. It was obvious, the mother and daughter duo were busy playing a pity party."My daughter is precious, your son took advantage of her …All because she was working for him" Joslyn's dad chimed in and the woman nodded in agreement. Alana could tell Marcela was unhappy. Her mother-in-law was trying everything to keep calm. The drama wasn't necessary. Unfortunately, the damage was already done."My cousin would never touch any other woman…are you sure this isn't a trap,"
Alana stood away from Maria while her husband, who just recovered from a shock, asked her questions. Of course, Joslyn was alert and crying like a child. It was clear the tables had turned and Maria was busy getting a taste of her medicine. “These are DNA tests I took… Do you think I am a liar…no, she's not your daughter,” Alana said, showing Mr. Cooper the DNA tests she took? Joslyn and Maria were the first to grab them from Alana. “This isn't true…mom she's lying right,” Joslyn cried out, Alana so the desperation in Joslyn's eyes. She always considered herself the spoiled princess of the Cooper family. Finding out she wasn't, was a hard blow.“She faked this… I'm…”“Faked? Just like your daughter faked her pregnancy…she framed my husband and did something so despicable!” Alana cut Maria off, she went through so much in the past weeks. She thought she couldn't have kids. That doctor was bribed by Joslyn. But one little mistake Joslyn made was saying she was pregnant. As much as Ala
(Alana)It was early in the morning, I was the first one to wake up. A night of nothing but passion made her feel energetic. Getting out of Ricardo's embrace was hard, but I had to work. After a dramatic night, I knew I had to take care of myself and my baby. The thought of having a child in my womb had me smiling as I reached my hand down and caressed my belly. The feeling was something I couldn't contain. I had Ricardo's child growing in my womb.“Doctor's appointment?” a raspy voice interrupted my happy thoughts. Glancing over my shoulder, I found a naked Ricardo wrapped in sheets staring at her.“Nope, are you not going to get ready?” I said, putting the hairbrush back on the table. I was busy. Ricardo frowned and prompted on his elbows. I had to ignore those long hairy legs and toned upper body. His hair was messy, but he was still as handsome as ever.“I don't want you to be moving around,” the man said when I walked to pick up some sheets which had fallen on the floor.“Ricky,
Ricardo was pacing angrily in the doctor's office. The anger he was feeling was enough to kill the doctor before him, but he had to calm himself and think of a solution. “I trusted you with her safety…you damned bastard failed me!” Ricardo growled with a slam of his fist on the table. His eyes flashed red as he glared at the man sitting behind the desk. Of course, the blonde-haired man only shifted from side to side and nodded. “Ricardo, we both know there's confidentiality between a doctor and a patient… I can go against my principles," the man said lazily, making Ricardo even more irritated. “Do you think you were doing me a favor, huh? Are you that stupid and brainless!” Ricardo yelled even more that the man knew he was in deep boiling soup. Either way, he made a promise. As a doctor, he knew when to keep a promise and when to break one. “Axel, what's wrong with you, she's my wife…” Ricardo muttered more calmly as he ran his hands through his hair. Axel Fernandez was his trust
“Alana, you should take a break…you've been working since the afternoon," Brigitte said immediately as she entered the large room where the designs were done. All the employees had gone home, but their boss was still working. “Need to finish up…we don't want any mishaps,” Alana said and stretched a little. To know she had been working without actually checking the time. “Well, you are pregnant. You need to take care of yourself,” Brigitte frowned and walked around the long table. “We now have a week, I want everything to be perfect," she already made plans for the launch coming up in a week. The jewelry was done, but her collection was yet to be done. “I see, you are talented,” Brigitte commented while she checked all the designs placed on the table. Alana was indeed passionate about her work. Brigitte had to say, no one could compare to Alana. “Did Cam do something or what?” Alana asked as the two women sat down and someone brought them some hot coffee. “I don't wanna talk ab
(Alana)It was not every time Ricardo suggested going out. I sat comfortably in my seat and watched as he talked to the waiter. We went to a fancy restaurant. Not sure why he didn't let me change into something more fitting for the occasion. But the man said it didn't matter. "Bring something more healthy…no alcohol and yes…dessert," Ricardo finished and slammed the menu on the table. The waiter nodded with a smile knowing she had been troubled."Right away sir," the lady said with a low bow and left right away. "Whatever they prepared…why don't we get that," I said, recalling what he said on our way to the restaurant. Ricardo shrugged and picked up a glass of water."Not healthy, we need to follow a strict diet…" he said while taking a sip of water and I frowned even more."You look lovely," Ricardo said and poured me some water. I didn't know why his words made me blush. But he chuckled and leaned back in the chair."You look nervous," I said, adjusting myself. Ricardo shrugged an
