"You are an animal, you still haven't changed?" Lara yelled out from the stairs while she flung another bottle in their direction but they were quick to dodge it. "You shameless bastard, you stupid coward," Lara said furiously as she trudged toward Christian but Frank was quick to hold her back. "That's okay," Frank said, trying to hold her back."You are planning on abandoning me just like that? What have I ever done to deserve this kind of treatment and to be so humiliated by you? You make me look so foolish," Lara yelled. "Calm down!" Frank simply voiced out. "You know that you are the only one making a fool out of yourself. You and my own mother are the ones trying to pull out my strings and you two deserve to be together," Christain said in a loud voice before aiming to leave but Lara stopped him. "Christian baby, please huh? Just tell me what you need me to do for you to love me again, and why don't you just tell me? I would do anything for you, anything!" Lara said breathi
Christian and his parents were home having dinner when his mother chooses to smash the stillness between her and son."That sounds good, we should meet up sometimes!" His father said on the phone. Christian, what are you going to do with your life now? Don't you think you should go and talk things out with Lara? She is still here in New York and she won't be flying out until next week!" Monica had said to her son before chewing on her food. "Mother, could you please stop talking about Lara? Hasn't she left already? It feels like she is still here because you keep on bringing her up all the time!" Christian complained. "What do you want then? Do you want to be nothing but a bomb?" Gina asked, dropping her cutlery on the plate."Yes, we would be there! Bye," The voice of Robert came. "Your Godfather Henry has just invited us to his eighty-year-old birthday celebration and he is the newly elected person in the DST you know, and that gives you a good chance to discuss the candidate we
"Actually Henry, no need for pleasentries because we have known the wife of Carlos for quiet a long time now. I'm sure that you are not interested in the details, are you?" Monica inquired with a weird expression before adjusting the red skimpy and tight gown she had on."Well Monica, I don't think I do!* Henry simply replied."You are indeed beautiful Mrs Gonzalez, I can only hope to find someone as beautiful as you are." Christian said with a charming smile. "Well, unfortunately there is only one of Miriam and you would never find another one like her!" Carlos said placing a warm kiss on his wife's forehead. "That is true, you should honestly do that because it's time you start looking for your own beautiful wife, that is going to be a good bonus for the election." His Godfather said. "It's nice to meet you Christian and I want you to know that your party can count on our support, you have to excuse us. Let's go!" Carlos said before leaving with Miriam to stick in another place e
Lara had gone out to say goodbye to her best friend before she left for the country. They both sat at an eatery while they had their little chit-chat. The eatery was decorated with glowing lamps and one could see a few couples clustered around different tables while they discussed things romantically. "It's a good thing that you choose to at least visit me and say your goodbyes before you leave," her friend had said, adjusting her hair. "I know that it won't be easy to start abroad, I can only imagine what my parents would have to say. Huh, they might throw questions about me and Christian which I know I wouldn't be able to answer. I mean, I did absolutely nothing to save the marriage I had with him." Lara said gloomily. "Do you love him?" Daisy asked. "Of course I do, what is my gain in all of this if I didn't truly love Christain? Even when I lost my self-respect. I still stood by him regardless. I just realize that the last time we fought, he didn't seem interested at all. It
"I can't believe that mother would convince Lara to come back here, why does mother keep Interfering in everything that I do?" Christian asked his father with an expression that showed that he wasn't pleased with at all. "Son, you need Lara, you are running for a position that needs your wife," Robert explained to his son but that seemed to only piss him more. "A wife," Christain asked with an unbelievable expression."I truly don't care if she is here or not but I want you to know that the people would want to see if you are a responsible man, a man who is supportive to his family and if you keep Lara. That would be a bonus for your election, you have to earn a certain image and by doing that! You have to show that you are a gentleman, and that doesn't include kissing somebody else's wife! You shouldn't be called a womanizer for your mistakes, you are married for God's sake!" His father spoke up. "Listen to me son, whether you like it or not, you and Lara are married and you need
"You have to promise me that you would finish your meal!" Miriam uttered adjusting the tie on Carlos's neck as he gave her a satisfying nod."Here, bring this with you," Miriam said before handing Carlos a lunch pack."Thank you, I would make sure to eat everything." He said before kissing her lips."I love you!" She said limping to kiss him yet again."I love you more!" He responded in between kisses."Bye, daddy," Henry said before hugging Carlos but their little goodbye was halted when Gina walked up in their direction."Miriam, may I have some alone time with my son? I just need to talk to him, alone!" She uttered while dragging the last word. "Of course, you may, I would just leave you two." Miriam asserted before pulling her son away. "Carlos, somebody told me that you saw Christain kissing your wife at the party of attorney Ernesto?" Gina asked while folding her arms together. "Mum, I want you to know that Miriam and I have already discussed about all that," Carlos responded
"I can't believe that she had come all the way here to act so in mature. Just because they are rich, they think they can just step all over anybody. I mean, those two deserve each other," Doris said, rolling her eyes in irritation . "I didn't even know that Christain was married. He kept insinuating that he wanted me back and I had no idea that he was married to Lara, what a huge jerk!" Miriam muttered before rubbing the back of her ear tiredly. "You are bothered that he didn't tell you that he was married? Of course, how else could he have competed with Carlos? I have this feeling that he is planning on separating from Lara, and that is why that snooty slut is so angry at you!" Doris said. "Whether Christain is getting a divorce or not, I love Carlos very much." Miriam voiced out."You should tell Carlos about what transpired between you and Lara today. He shouldn't find out from someone else first," Doris told her. "I know, I'm going to tell Carlos because I'm honestly getting t
At the mansion of the Robert. They had hosted a lunch party to help Christain meet high-profile people that could help him with his campaign but he wasn't present. His parent were very much worried as Monica kept dialing his number but he just wouldn't pick up. "What going on Frank?" Robert asked Christian"s friend. "Isn't Christain here yet? The guest are getting exhausted!" Frank asked as he fixed his hands inside his grey leather trouser. "We have been trying his number the whole day but we can't just reach him. Do you have an idea of where your son might have gone to?" Robert asked his wife. "I don't know but he had a big argument with Lara last night and he suddenly walked out on us when I was lecturing him. I'm sure that he has an idea about this event today, he would be here!" Monica assured her husband. "You better find him because he's going to embarrass our visitor if he does not show up. All this is for him to have all these high-profile people on his side!" Robert sai
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. Carlos's mother, in a state of distress, had immediately reached out to the biggest lawyer she knew as soon as Carlos was being taken to the station. 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. As they arrived, the media swarmed around them, eager to capture any glimpse or statement from Carlos. Reporters and cameraman jostled for positions, trying to get the perfect shot or interview.The lawyer, well-versed in handling high-profile cases, guided Carlos and his mother through the chaotic scene, shielding them from the intrusive media.They swiftly made their way into the station, where they could discuss the details of the case in a more private setting."Attorney, what are we
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
“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.
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,
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
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
