The cold morning breeze and the songbirds chirping, had Alana shifting in her sleep until she realized she was engulfed in warm arms. As much as she was weak to move, she raised her head a little, mumbling something as she rubbed her eyes a little. "Mm," opening her eyes, Alana was startled when she glanced up and met Ricardo's sharp gaze. "Good morning," Ricardo whispered with a smile and moved his hand to her face. Of course, Alana was nervous as well as shy. Because she was on top of Ricardo while he was half sitting and leaning against the headboard."What…" Alana started but stopped when she realized something. Ricardo was naked and so was she. Seeing how her face flushed red. Ricardo smirked and adjusted himself until she let out a moan. "You!" Alana flashed him a glare and the ground could open up and swallow her whole. But that wasn't happening when Ricardo was teasing her. "Sweetheart…you look gorgeous in my arms," Ricardo murmured as he leaned down to Alana and kissed he
Alana had tried to find out what Ricardo asked Dennis to do. Unfortunately, she gave up knowing Ricardo wouldn't tell her. He even trained his employees to keep secrets. Especially Dario."She hasn't been to work for a week now…" Dario said while Alana massaged her head."Find out anything that incriminates her…I don't trust that woman," Alana said knowing full well, Eva was up to something. "Actually…we found out something," Dario said and immediately Alana looked up."She frequently visited the cleaner's house…I was there and asked…the day before she died…Ms Eva visited there and they had a big fight," Dario went ahead and explained everything to Alana. Of course, Alana thought as much, but she had no proof whatsoever. "Dario, do me a favor…keep an eye on her," Alana remarked and Dario nodded."About the media…""Find out the main source and…" Alana started but when Brigitte walked in, she stopped. Her friend didn't look so happy. Dario excused himself and left right away. There w
(Alana) My eyes widened in shock as we were guided inside the building. I thought I saw it all, but this was exceptionally beautiful. So mesmerizing that I couldn't keep from looking around. "This is the main thing right, "I asked Ricardo, who was still holding my hand. The supervisor and manager were in front guiding the way. It smelled delightful. More ice like gold. "Yeah, top secret," Ricardo chuckled and we walked through a pair of glass doors and into the empty passageway. It was cool and relaxing. We left the elevator a while ago. Ricardo was showing me around when two men came to us. Soon we came to a stop. "Your office," I asked when we stopped at the brown-painted door. The manager took out a card which I assumed was key. Soon there was a creak, the doors slid open revealing a dark room. "Come," Ricardo guided me inside. This time, the two men walked behind us. Soon the lights went on and again I was greeted by something breathtaking. "Jewelry room?" I muttered, surp
(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,
