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
"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,
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.
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
There have been numerous trials for their love, but rather than breaking them apart, these challenges have made them stronger and more resilient. Despite unexpected events and difficult moments that brought them joy, sorrow, and fear, they always found a light in the darkness. Together, they conquered those dark periods and now embark on a new chapter in their lives.Adrienne felt a familiar embrace as Pedro hugged her again, even though they were running late for the baptism.Once Pedro recovered, his stamina increased to the point that Adrienne couldn't keep up with his desires in bed anymore. They cherished their intimate moments, sometimes extending them into the early morning hours. The billionaire seemed to have unlimited energy when it came to their passionate encounters."You're so insatiable! Look at what you did! We're late for the venue! You're really frustrating," Adrienne said playfully.Pedro chuckled. "It's just practice for when we have a second baby. We'll be ready."
The entire home was illuminated by bright lights, which gave the impression that it was grand from the outside. Observing Natalya Cadwell's home, Adrienne couldn't help but wonder why her boss wanted to trick the woman into believing he was not available for a relationship or even marriage.“It’s fantastic!” She exclaimed and he just nodded his head in agreement.“Her family is wealthy,” he explained.Although the house was built in a modern style, wooden accents could be observed here and there throughout the inside. The tall, half-rounded windows in Natalya's house contributed to the overall design of the house. "She's extremely well-off," she revealed."Her family is wealthier than mine," he said, feeling empathy for the woman, who he assumed had not seen many gorgeous homes in her life.Adrienne pouted her lips and responded, “I see.”“Would you like to live in a house like this?”“Of
