The plane carrying Ethan and Adrienne had finally landed at the airport in America. They joined the flow of people exiting the plane, heading towards the airport exit.

This wasn't Adrienne's first time leaving the country. Whenever there was an important business meeting abroad, she used to accompany Pedro.

Now, Adrienne felt sad once again. No matter how hard she tried to convince herself, the pain and wounds remained.

She had forgiven and given chances multiple times, to the point where she no longer recognized herself. She believed that she needed to prioritize loving herself before anyone else.

"Our ride is here. Should I drop you off at your aunt's place?" Ethan asked her.

They didn't have to wait long before the car arrived. It was already afternoon, and Adrienne and Kent were tired from the journey. Adrienne fell asleep in the car, finding some rest.

She felt a tap on her arm. "Adrienne, we've arrived at your aunt's house."

Adrienne woke up and thanked Ethan. "Thank you, Ethan.

  • THE ALPHA IN DISGUISE   CHAPTER 59

    Adrienne had just finished a business meeting with one of the potential investors in her company. She already had a small company that produced coffee and tea products. She was also venturing into the wine industry since she had background knowledge in winery and chemistry. She was embracing her full potential. Now that she decided to be more independent and promised not to rely on anyone, especially Pedro, she pushed herself even harder. She aspired to be a world-class businesswoman."It is nice doing business with you, Ms. McBride," the man said to her. His name was Calvin, an American bachelor with a handsome and model-like appearance. He was also a well-known businessman whom Adrienne had met through her aunt Selena's husband.Adrienne shook hands with the man. "It is nice to talk with you too, Mr. White. I will take my leave now," Adrienne said."Wait," the man stopped her from leaving. "Can we go out next time?" he asked, scratching his head.In truth, the man was at the same le

    Adrienne was surprised by Pedro's sudden statement. Her face turned red, and she seemed confused by the man's question."What are you talking about? And can you fix your nose? You look like a duck," Adrienne said to the perplexed man.She couldn't decide whether to be annoyed by Pedro's persistence or not. Or perhaps she was more annoyed with herself because, even though she didn't admit it, her anger towards Pedro was slowly fading away."Is there such a handsome duck? And what I'm asking is about the guy who approached you, is he trying to court you?" Pedro asked her seriously."Stop it. Maybe you forgot that you have no right to claim me?" Adrienne said to him. They were nothing.Pedro's expression suddenly changed. "Then, let me marry you!" the man exclaimed as if it was that easy to make a decision."Pedro?! Marriage is not just hot rice that you can spit out once it burns you! Haven't I asked for time from you?" Adrienne said.In the end, the man couldn't do anything and walked

    Pedro saw his child jumping off the bed. He thought something had happened to his child. Fortunately, the child seemed lively and well in Pedro's eyes.He immediately approached Adrienne. "Is our child okay? Where should I give my blood?" the man asked."They have received a stock of blood compatible with the child. I was supposed to call you and tell you not to come, but it seems you're already on the plane. I'm sorry if I inconvenienced you," Adrienne said to the man, seeming somewhat embarrassed.Pedro shook his head. "This is for the child. It's not a problem for me to come here," he said.Pedro suddenly felt a tug on his pants. It was his child, wanting to be carried. Pedro quickly picked up his child, who seemed to resemble him more as time went by."Get well soon, my child. Rest well and don't give your mom a headache, okay?" Pedro said to the child while carrying him and checking if he still had a fever, which seemed to have subsided.The child shook his head. "I don't want to

    Adrienne woke up early to prepare for their breakfast. She went to the kitchen, but it seemed that Pedro was already there ahead of her. The other helpers were not yet present since it was only a quarter to 5 in the morning.Pedro noticed her busy cooking breakfast. "Oh? Why did you wake up so early? Are you uncomfortable in your room or bed? Just say it, and we can change it," the man said to her.The morning was still chilly, so Adrienne hugged herself. She thought it would be nicer to have someone to embrace."Why am I being so stubborn? Do I need to make things difficult for us like this? Why don't I just give in to my weakness?" Adrienne said to herself."I don't have any problem. I just woke up early to help in the kitchen," Adrienne replied while brewing tea."It's almost done. Do you want to have breakfast now?" Pedro asked her.Only now did Adrienne notice that the man was only wearing a tank top and black boxers. He looked like a model who would walk the runway for famous me

    Adrienne woke up feeling as if her body was in pain. She had rested more than she expected, unaware that the intensity of her longing for intimacy with Pedro would result in such heavy body pain.She struggled to stand up and found Pedro already up, having cleaned up and dressed. "You're awake," he said as he entered their room, holding their child."Yes, but I can't stand because of what you did," Adrienne said irritably, glaring at him."Why, Mama? Did Daddy hurt you?" their child asked, confused. "Daddy! You are bad!" their child exclaimed."No, baby! Daddy didn't hurt me," Adrienne explained to their child."That's right, my child. I did not hurt your Mama. Mama just can't stand because we made a baby last night," Pedro said, unable to hide his excitement in his voice.Their child seemed delighted with what their daddy said. "Really? Yay! I'll have a baby sister or baby brother!" Kent exclaimed happily.If their child wasn't in the room, Adrienne would have wanted to strangle Pedr

    Adrienne's mind was filled with questions about the words spoken by the mother of the man she loved. She knew deep down that her mother was a kind and loving person. Even though they didn't spend much time together because they were taken away by God early on, Adrienne knew that her mother was a compassionate and respectful individual. She shouldn't let herself be poisoned by the words that came out of the woman who had caused her so much pain over the years.But some things couldn't be erased from her mind. First was Carmela's face. Adrienne knew that face was filled with resentment as if it had deep-rooted anger."Can't you sleep?" the man suddenly asked her.It was already late at night, but Adrienne's spirit was still alive as if she had drunk too much coffee and been slapped multiple times. The voice of the woman continued to echo in her mind."Yeah, maybe I'm just a little stressed," Adrienne replied. As much as possible, she didn't want Pedro to see her depressed side. She was

    ADRIENNE felt the enormous grudge coming from Carmela at this point. She and Pedro sat facing the well-known Lassiter couple, not just known in Evermere, but throughout the whole world. Carmela Lassiter, hailing from a wealthy clan known for their jewelry shops, designs, and clothing lines, and Robert Lassiter, a successful businessman, undoubtedly passed on his intelligence to Pedro.Just being in their presence made Adrienne a little nervous, but she was grateful to have Pedro by her side."The week hasn't even ended, and we're meeting again. Have you thought about what I said?" Pedro's mother asked in a sharp tone."Mom!" Pedro responded with irritation, clearly fed up.Adrienne squeezed his hand reassuringly. "It's okay. Simple words won't affect me. I know where I stand and what I'm fighting for."The woman let out a sarcastic laugh at her response. "Really? Maybe you just don't feel the weight of every word I say. Where else would you inherit such audacity if not from your great

    PEDRO fell into a dark place where he couldn't move his body or open his mouth. He was trapped in a place where only his thoughts had free will.He wondered where he was and why he couldn't move. He asked himself in his mind.He thought about the last moments before he ended up like this. He tried to search deep within his memories until he realized that everything was caused by one thing.He shielded the bullet meant for all of them. He used his body as a shield to protect them from the bullets for a while.Pedro only wished for the safety of his wife and child, even if it meant sacrificing himself.He also wondered where he was. Why couldn't he move or speak? Was this the final destination for people like him who had committed many sins?"Is this hell? I know that I have lots of sins in the world. I wouldn't be shocked if this is the gate to hell. If only I could continue my life in the world," Pedro silently prayed.He still had the desire to return to the world. He hoped it wasn't

    Because she was distracted by Daniel McBride, Adrienne failed to notice how Charlotte shifted the aim of the trigger. The crazy woman just shot Pedro and Cathy while she was arguing with her father. There was a commotion after the shot, but fortunately, the authorities were already there to arrest Charlotte and her henchmen.Adrienne was already inside the ambulance. She and her child are crying. Pedro has lost a lot of blood, and his life seemed to be hanging by a thread. Adrienne felt an indescribable fear."Pedro, my love! Wake up, fight for us and your child," Adrienne says while holding her spouse's hand.Aunt Selena holds the sleeping child, probably exhausted from crying. Pedro was immediately taken to the hospital. Adrienne could do nothing but wait outside the emergency room.She cried and prayed to God. She hoped that everything was just a bad dream and that she would wake up."My dear, rest for a while. The nurses will take care of you. You have so many wounds and bruises.

    "Who are you, you demon? Why are you doing this to us, huh?" Adrienne asked on the other line."Me? You'll know who I am within three hours, well, technically. Won't you show up within three hours? Because if not, I'll start cutting off your child's fingers in advance!" the voice replied to her."No! Don't! We'll show up! We'll come at the agreed time! Just don't harm the child!" Adrienne pleaded anxiously. She was clearly afraid of what the deranged person they were facing might do."Good! It's good to know that you're cooperating. I thought it would be more challenging! Alright then! By the way, I just wanted to let you know that I take my time killing that guy! HAHAHA!" the voice on the other line, sounding like a demon, spoke."You beast! I hope you end up in hell!" Adrienne shouted while crying. Her heart felt heavy, especially after learning what happened to her beloved friend."Thanks for calling me a beast. And about what you said, hell, you say? Do not fret! I've been there,
