“You know what, Miriam, I almost thought that you were going to truly give in to your son's request earlier,” Doris said.“I thought that you were going to forgive Carlos!” Doris said yet again.“You know what Doris, I almost did but if I didn't remember what happened to me that night. I might have forgiven him already!” Miriam responded. “You know what, as your best friend. I want you to know that he is never going to stop as long as he is left free. If I were you, I would just send him to jail so all your problems would just go away.” Doris suggested.“What about what Eleanor had told me, and Henry?” Miriam said, scoffing under her breath. “I don't want to ruin her life because of my silly revenge on Carlos,” Miriam said, touching the nape of her neck tiredly.“Miriam, you honestly need to decide now and I know that your son would eventually understand why you had to send his father to jail!” Doris uttered.“I bet to disagree with the decision of your friend,” Lara's voice came ri
“Alright, what a coincidence for your son to have ended up being the rapist. How did that happen?” Daniella questioned her friend.“Daniella, my son is not a rapist!” Gina blurted and that had earned her an eye roll from her friend.“Have you been listening to my story or have you been busy drinking your wine?” Gina asked with a loud hiss escaping her lips but that only made Daniella laugh very hard.“Gina, I was listening to every single thing you just said. You know that Carlos is a victim of such circumstances but think about it, he had slept with her without her consent which is totally wrong!” Daniella said.“We all know that is a crime called rape!” Daniella added afterward before pushing her hair behind. “Carlos had gone to see Miriam earlier on hoping that she would forgive him, and I was also hoping that all of this would end!” Gina said to her friend.“What if it doesn’t, and Miriam still chooses to file a case against your son? Gina, this situation would give you so much e
Joseph had walked into an eatery to meet his other friends. “What's taking him so long?” Micheal questioned his other friend but at that moment, Joseph had arrived. “Hey Joseph, what's up? It's been a long time, can you tell us what's going on?” they asked him. “So, what made you suddenly decide to meet up here?” they questioned him further.“I ran into a lot of trouble!” Joseph told them.“Trouble,” Micheal asked.“I really need you guys’ help!” Joseph blurted. “Is it about a woman?” Andrew asked. “Yes, it's about a woman,” Joseph told them before turning to give someone a side-eye. At that very moment, Christian walked towards their table with his men behind him. “Who is that guy you are with?” Michael questioned the moment he noticed the skilled men who had approached their table. “I’m just the man that Miriam was supposed to marry but you idiot had kidnapped her years ago!” Christian told them, the moment they heard that, Micheal got up to throw Christian a punch but fail
“My dear!” Her sister said the moment she hung up the phone.“Miriam, are you truly planning on talking to Carlos? You would just end up hurting yourself, don’t you even realize that?” Doris uttered with an unhappy expression.“If I were you, I would have allowed the cops to deal with all of this. Do what’s right!” Doris said. “Doris, when I faced him on two different occasions, I had allowed my anger to consume me. I have closed my mind to his explanation!” Miriam said.“He has admitted to you that he was the one who had violated you. Isn’t that enough?” Doris asked.“No, it isn’t. Because if Carlos wanted to truly fool me. He should have denied the truth when I confronted him but he confessed. If I’m going to file a case, I want everything to be clear because I don’t want to regret anything in the end,” Miriam said.“You know, it's good that you are not rushing into something like this because you truly need to consider it first. Especially now that your son’s future matters!” Her
Carlos was at Doris’ residence and no matter how much he explained to Doris, she just wasn't accepting.“You are truly just persistent, I have told you countless times that Miriam isn't here!” Doris said.“But Doris, she had called me on the phone because she wanted to talk to me,” Carlos informed her.“I don't know what you are talking about but I think it would be better if you just leave now and leave my friend alone!” Doris told him harshly but Eleanor had approached them at that very moment. “Doris, I think that's enough. We both know that Miriam truly wants to talk to him!” Eleanor voiced.“You know what, you are the only one who is okay with what Miriam wants!” Doris said, she slowly rolled her eyes at Carlos before walking away.“Daddy?” the little boy called in happiness before running to engulf Carlos in a hug. “Daddy, is it true that you and mother would finally get to talk?” the little boy asked with a widened smile.“Yes, Henry but your mother is not home right now!” Ca
Carlos was staring at the family portrait in his hands when one of the workers at his home approached him. “Mr. Carlos, someone is here...” she was going to say but the presence of Eleanor had caught her short. “Eleanor?” Carlos simply said. “I came here to talk to you Carlos because I love my sister and my nephew so much!” Eleanor said.“I have a favor to ask!” She said, “Do you know what, Carlos? Every time I look at Henry, I feel very bad to know that he is suffering, and I feel hurt as well when I see that my sister is hurting deep inside,” Eleanor uttered.“I honestly don't want her to hurt,” Carlos said.“Is that so? Then I think that you should probably give her what she wants, you should cooperate with Miriam so that the annulment of your marriage would become quicker!” Eleanor said,“But I don't want to lose my family!” Carlos said confidently. “We all know that the court would soon annul your marriage but that doesn't mean that you won't see my sister or Henry ever again
Christian was presently in Doris’ house, he had engaged his men in creating a surprise for Miriam. Everywhere seemed decorated with balloons and expensive flowers. “Are you ready?” Christian asked his men. “Yes sir,” they both responded while wiping their hands with napkins.“Miriam would be here, are your hand's clean guys?” Christian asked them both.“Yes, of course, sir!” They responded yet again. “Okay good,” he said. “Oh wow,” The voice of Doris came the moment they walked towards the decorated area. “What is that?” Doris said all happy and cheerful.“I can’t believe this,” she kept saying while Miriam and her sister trudged from behind. “What have you gotten for us, oh wow!” Doris exclaimed in surprise. “Isn’t this too much for us, can I have some?” Doris asked, staring at the variety of food.“Sure!” The men answered. “What’s this for Christian?” Miriam questioned the moment they were both facing each other.“I heard that your marriage to Carlos has just been annulled,
“Doris, please take care of Henry while I’m away. Okay!” Miriam said, grabbing her bag to leave the house.“Sure, I would make sure that he gets his bath,” Doris said but their little discussion was interrupted when Eleanor walked inside followed by Christian and the lawyer. “Miriam, you have got a guest,” Eleanor informed her sister before she could leave. “Miriam, Carlos had done something through a high source of justice!” Christian voiced.“And what’s that?” Miriam asked.“Based on everything that the lawyer had gotten from the court, it says that Carlos has already admitted the incident to you and that you have forgiven him before you even got married!” Christian voiced out and that had left Miriam’s mouth to hang open. “But that’s not true, he merely even told me that he was the one who had violated me. Oh my Goodness!” Miriam said, rubbing her forehead. “That’s a great defense!” Christian voiced out.“Your ex-husband is such a liar,” Doris said, wiggling her head in shame.
Miriam had gotten home to notice her sister and friend watching the news. "You are here Miriam," Doris said the moment she noticed her friend. "Hey," Eleanor simply said."I'm glad that you are home because Carlos has just been arrested by the police!" She blurted out while Miriam gaze was fixed to the television. Miriam's heart skipped a beat as she turned her attention to the television. The news anchor's voice filled the room, reporting on the arrest of Carlos, a name she recognized so well. The screen displayed footage of a man being led away in handcuffs by police officers."I honestly had no idea that he would be handcuffed in front of everybody," Miriam said, a little bit guilty. Miriam's voice trembled as she spoke, the weight of the situation sinking in. "Well, I think that's good. That way, other criminals like him would know exactly what would happen to them when they do similar things." Doris said with no remorse.Miriam nodded slowly, her mind racing with a mix of e
While Carlos was being taken to the station, the media wouldn't stop at no chance but to get a video of him.

She understood the gravity of the situation and wanted to ensure that Carlos received the best legal representation possible.The lawyer, renowned for their expertise and reputation, agreed to meet Carlos and his mother at the police station.

Meanwhile, Gina and her son walked inside the company, they discussed. "I thought that you weren't joining the press conference?" Gina questioned while she held her expensive purse tightly. Carlos looked up at her with a serious expression. "I just thought that it was best I keep myself busy because it takes my mind off Miriam." He replied. "By the way, regarding your court case. You don't have to worry about it because I promise to do everything for the court to dismiss your case, okay?" Gina told her son. Carlos nodded, a mixture of gratitude and worry on his face. "Thanks, Mom. I appreciate your support, but I can't shake off the feeling that things might not go as smoothly as we hope. The evidence against me seems pretty strong."Gina sighed and placed a reassuring hand on Carlos's shoulder. "I understand your concerns, Carlos. But we have a good legal team working on your case, and I trust that they'll do everything they can to prove your innocence. We'll fight this together,
After leaving Miriam's apartment, Carlos couldn't go back home. He had driven to the bar to drink his pains away.Carlos sat in his car with his friend, parked outside the bar, feeling a mix of emotions after leaving Miriam's apartment. He had hoped for a different outcome, but the conversation he had with his son had left him with a heavy heart. Unable to face the solitude of his empty home, he sought solace in the familiar comfort of the bar.As he stepped out of the car, the cool night air enveloped him, causing him to shiver slightly. With a deep sigh, he walked towards the entrance with Jeffrey beside him, the dimly lit sign above casting a faint glow on the pavement. The sound of laughter and music seeped through the door, a stark contrast to the somberness that weighed on his mind.Pushing open the heavy wooden door, Carlos entered the bar and was immediately greeted by a wave of noise and the scent of alcohol. The room was filled with customers engaged in energetic conversa
It was late at night but Carlos didn't mind as he drove to Miriam's apartment with his friend Jeffery tagging along. The streets were quiet and the city lights cast a dim glow on the deserted sidewalks."Carlos, hey, it's late!" Jeffery said the moment they arrived in front of Miriam's apartment."Miriam might think you are here to kidnap Henry!" Jeffery added and Carlos would have chuckled at his statement if things were alright. "I just want to see Henry and not cause trouble!" Carlos said. He glanced at Jeffery, who was looking slightly worried."I understand your concern, Jeffery," Carlos replied, trying to reassure his friend. "But you know how much Henry means to me." Carlos added.Jeffery nodded reluctantly, understanding the depth of Carlos's feelings for his son. "I get it, man. We can do this tomorrow. Why don't we go home and come back!" Jeffrey said.Carlos hesitated for a moment, torn between his eagerness to see his son and Jeffery's valid concerns. He knew Jeffery was
