Miriam had just walked out of the company. The sun was burning hard beneath the sky but all her thoughts kept wandering around the situation that had taken place a few minutes ago, she wondered why life was unfair to her.

She trudged a little bit from the company building before leaning beside one among many packed cars around. "What's happening? Is this the same scenario with Christain?" Miriam spoke gently before caressing her forehead tiredly.

"Don't I have the right to love anymore?" She questioned herself yet again.

She sighed deeply before bringing out her phone to place a call, after a few rings! The person seemed to have picked.

"Hello, Doris, where exactly are you?" Miriam asked Running her hands through her hair. "Alright, okay!" She answered.

"I understand, goodbye!" She said before hanging up.

"Taxi!" She yelled as the white car with a yellow symbol of Taxi written stopped in front of her, Miriam trudged towards it before pulling the back door to slide in.

    It was already dark when Carlos's car pulled up in front of Miriam's residence. She was outside taking out her laundry from the lines to take inside the house when he briskly got out of the car before running in her direction. "Miriam?" He called as she turned to stare at him with a scowl masked on her face. She carried the basket of clothes to leave but he was fast to stop her."Miriam, I know that my mother had spoken to you!" He said as she stood stagnant while staring at him. "You know what Carlos? I can't believe that you still haven't told her about us." Miriam spoke. "I'm sorry!" He simply said. "I seriously understand why you did that, I know that your mother doesn't like or approve of me. I mean, how can you possibly present me as your Fiance to her when you aren't even proud of me Carlos." Miriam said before shrugging dismissively."I swear that I wasn't even thinking of that, I was only just waiting for the perfect time to tell her the truth about us!" Carlos said and M

    "What's going on Miriam? I honestly don't know if what you did to Carlos was right but I just have to tell you that I don't think this would be good for Henry!" Eleanor told Miriam carefully not to hurt her sister's feelings."Eleanor, Henry would only suffer more if I continue the plan to marry Carlos, I know that he has been a very big part of our life but Henry would forget him soon enough, especially when we leave this place." Miriam blurted out, she indeed didn't want to stay anywhere close to Carlos. She had always wished that they lasted longer but fate wouldn't want that for them. "We are leaving? Where are we going and where exactly are we going to stay?" Eleanor implored."Also, what would you do about your job?" She asked yet again. "I don't know because I just don't want to be close to Carlos's mom, I honestly wanted to prove to her that it's truly not their money I'm after but it's hard," Miriam said as the salty liquid lingered down her cheeks. "Even if it is hard, I

    It was late evening and the thunder was bringing in lightning and making loud noises. Soon enough, it began to rain heavily. Miriam had trudged to her son's room to check if his windows were closed but became shaken when she saw him sobbing and scattering pieces of papers all over the floor. "Henry, what's wrong?" Miriam asked all caring as she sat beside her son. "Why are you doing this mummy? I thought you said you loved my uncle Carlos? He said to me that he wants to be our family but you seem to be pushing him away, why don't you like him anymore?" He asked in a weep and cracked voice while his collarbones kept popping up. Miriam's hands slowly caressed her son's shoulder. "Henry, I know how much you love him and I know how much it hurts so much but we need to avoid him now!" Miriam said yet again. "Why, don't you love him anymore? How come he loves you very much?" Henry asked with red and swollen eyes"Common Henry, of course, I love him too but I love you more because you ar

    Carlos said nothing else as he grabbed his cup of coffee before getting up from the chair he had been seating on. He trudged towards the window before sipping from the cup that kept accentuating fumes! "Carlos, don't you think that she would have felt bad because of your actions?" Miriam inquired further."You know what? I'm not even thinking about that!" Carlos bluntly said. Soon, a hand wrapped itself around his waist before hugging him from behind. "I'm affected by this new development between you and your mother because you both are very close and now you have been separated for the first time because of me!" Miriam said, plopping her head close to his back. "You have nothing to worry about because mother and I would be just fine, I even know that she would come to like you eventually!" Carlos assured before twirling around to hug Miriam into his broad chest. "One more thing, I'm honestly worried about you because you might not be able to survive alone. You have a lot to lose!

Gina yelled before shoving the whole content away. "Clean this mess and get out from my face!" Gina blurted out. "I'm so sorry!" The maid said before leaving but that only ignited a memory. "I said get back to work! You all should work when I give you instructions. You all are stupid robots." Gina yelled at her maid in annoyance."Mother, that's enough okay? You are getting a wrinkle on your face right now if you don't smile." Carlos teased as a smile soon flashed on her face.

I can go get the other samples from the back of the store if you want?" The store owner asked and Miriam nodded. "Uhhh___ alright, let me see them please," Miriam told her with a small smile. "Excuse me for a few minutes then!" The lady said to Miriam before leaving. "Henry, this is the exact place that I'm going to buy my wedding ring with your Daddy Carlos!" Miriam said, patting her son's hair proudly."Wow, really? I thought he was coming, where is he?" Henry asked, staring keenly at his mother. "Oh yes, he's coming but maybe he is just stuck in traffic.

    "This is my surprise for you and right after our wedding, this is where we would live!" Christian voice echoed in Miriam's head as she sat beside Carlos deep in thought. She was brought back from her trance when Carlos's hands intertwined their hands together."Miriam, what's it? Are you alright? Tell me, you don't like this house we have chosen or do you prefer a bigger one?" Carlos asked her but she scoffed before giving a forced smile. "It's not that, it's honestly not that at all. You truly don't have to buy a big House for us to live in because what is more important is that we stay happy and love each other!" Miriam told Carlos who edged closer to kiss her. "Thank you!" He said afterwards with a big smile across his lips. "Thank you for what?" Miriam asked curiously with a confused stare."I'm thanking you because you gave me another chance even after all that you have been through and thank you because you gave your heart to me." Carlos simply told her. "It's because I know

    "So, Christain told you that he was still in love with you and it took him six good years to realize that?" Doris asked Miriam as they strolled down one of the secluded streets of New York. "How stupid of him, that guy isn't bright at all. Is he?" Doris asserted yet again vexed. "I honestly don't understand him but even if he kneels down in front of me. I still won't be able to forgive him." Miriam told firmly. Of course, you shouldn't forgive that guy because if that ever happened to me. He would only end up with a black eye and bruises every time I see him! My goodness, that man has no shame at all!" Doris uttered with a frown."I truly don't understand why he keeps on bothering me," Miriam said. "Maybe he wasn't that happy when he left you and fled the country because karma was a bitch indeed. I mean, after what he had done to you. Who leaves someone at the altar on their wedding day and comes back for forgiveness after six years?" Doris asked. "Why would he even think that you

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

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.

    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
