TESSA'S P.O.V.

William and I went to the social gathering just like what was written in the invitation we received on the first day of this week. Earlier this week, William and I argued about this event. As far as I could remember, the last time we attended that event was one of the most embarrassing moments of my life being with him. I felt less important to him because he didn't even care that Hudson was belittling me at that time. He just let Hudson win the auction. I expected him to buy that necklace for me. But, he didn't care. I even received many degrading comments from him which made me look pathetic. Look how he treats me. He's making me feel that I'm less important to him. People might think that I'm the happiest person in the world just because I am the wife of a popular billionaire. I could have anything I want, and anything I would ask of him. He could give me those in an instant if he wanted to. But, it's his attention I wanted the most. So, when we received the invitati

    WILLIAM'S P.O.V.It's been a while since I got the chance to go out with some of the selected and trusted shareholders of my company. They insisted that we at least go somewhere to relax after a very stressful day. All of us agreed. Some of the shareholders asked me about my wife, Tessa, including Mr. Tolentino. "Mr. Mendoza, where is your wife? Tell her that we'll have a party right now. Our wives will come, too," He said while looking at me. I smirked after hearing those words from him. "Nah, no need to invite her. She's too busy taking care of her business. And, she has other schedules, too," I replied. Mr. Tolentino just nodded and just let me go to the party alone with the other shareholders. I also don't need any permission from anyone whether I would go or not. I don't want to let Tessa know about this instant celebration we were having. For sure, she won't stop calling and sending me messages. I'm tired of that woman. She kept on nagging me all the time. I won't inform her a

    WILLIAM'S P.O.V.After having face-to-face talks with my in-laws, I felt degraded because of all the things they told me. They looked down on me like a rat and even told me the things that happened in the past. I knew they contributed a big portion of their shares to my family's company just because my father begged them to do it. That time, I will soon be the heir and next CEO of my family's company. My parents tried their best to make the company work and gain income but since there was an unexpected deflation in the market, some companies went bankrupt and chose to stop the operation. Our company's one of them. And because of that, my parents had no other choice but to ask for help from my father's friends. Out of the many friends he has, only two people helped him to survive his company. Indeed, you can only be treated as a friend if they could get something from you in return, and not all the people surrounding you would be treated as true friends. These two men were behind my fa

    VIENNA'S P.O.V.When William held my waist and assisted me until Nicholas came back, I saw how concerned he was for me. He doesn't want to leave me that time even though he knew Nicholas was already there to help me. Nicholas told him that he'll be the one to assist me, since we saw Tessa's reaction. And she didn't like she sees. Nicholas assisted me and his arm are wrapped around my shoulder. People started looking at us because of that. "Nicholas, it really hurts," I said and I could feel the sweat on my forehead because every time I try to walk, I could feel the pain. "What happened to you? Why did you slip?" He asked while holding unto my hand. "Tessa's friend bumped to me. I already knew that they were planning something against me earlier. But, I didn't expect that they would do this," I replied. I tried to stop walking since my foot is really hurting. Nicholas stared at me worriedly because of what happened. Then, he suddenly went ahead me and kneeled. I looked at him in co

    TESSA'S P.O.V.Georgina, Diana, and I had a simple plan to remove Vienna's poise. She speaks as if she already has many things to tell. As if she already knew what it feels like to be earning millions. She doesn't know anything! And that Hudson guy even gave her the exposure to speak in front of the crowd as if she's a total personality. She's just starting her career! She's not there yet! Georgina initiated that she will bump Vienna since she knew that William will get mad at me if I will do it. So, we waited for the right moment to make a fulfillment to our plans. As soon as the event ended, people started crowding over the exit of the venue. They only cared to go home since it's already late. Yet, some people still chose to stay for a while and not join the crowded exit. So, if we'll do our plan, there's still enough people to witness how weak Vienna is. I was clinging to William when he suddenly received a phone call. So, he told me that he'll go for a while to talk to the calle

    VIENNA'S P.O.V.When I opened my eyes, I instantly realized that I was lying in my bed. While I was still having a hard time opening my eyes, I tried my best to sit down and lean. I paused for a while and tried to remember what happened last night, and how come that I got here in my room. As far as I could remember, Nicholas and I reached my house. He took care of me since I got injured because of what happened last night. Nicholas didn't hesitate to stay even though it was already late. He insisted that he would take care of me, but he didn't tell me when he would leave my place. We spent the night talking about what happened at the party, and I believe he was sitting next to me on the couch at that time. Then, when I woke up, I saw myself in this bed; it was already morning. So, what could happen? I went out of bed and immediately checked if Nicholas was still outside or even in the living room. I didn't see him in my room, too. So, there's a chance that he could be staying in the

    VIENNA'S P.O.V.A few days passed and my injury was getting better than before. With the help of Nicholas who always pays his visit just to check how I was, my foot got better that fast. People in my company including Calissa got worried since I was absent for consecutive days considering what happened to me. As much as I wanted to go to work, Nicholas reprimanded me to stay home and take care of myself so that I could come back to work all well. He told me that I shouldn't force myself to do a lot of work. I should still consider my health. I agreed with what Nicholas told me since I appreciate him being too concerned about what happened to me. Those past few days I also gave instructions to Calissa since she was the one in charge whenever I was not around. And as expected, she handled every situation at work very well. I appreciate all the hard work she did for my company, and soon, I'll give the salary increase she deserves. Today, I didn't tell anybody that I would go back to wor

    William stared at me after what I asked of him. He was surprised because I suddenly asked that question without any hesitation. He laughed awkwardly and leaned on his seat while staring at me. "What?" I smiled while looking at him. He crossed his arms and smiled back at me. I could see that he was blushing in front of me right now. "So, what's with the blushing, Mr. Mendoza?" I asked with an eyebrow raised. He laughed in disbelief because of what I said and replied, "You just asked me a very surprising question, Miss Alonzo. You caught me off guard with that." I just shrugged and laughed. "Well, it's up to you if you'll answer or leave it a mystery to me. I won't force you to answer tho," I replied. Then, to my surprise, he started nodding. "Yeah, you're attractive. Well, if someone would ask me. Yes, I do agree," He said while looking at me. Then, he took a sip of his coffee. I tried to hide my smile, but I couldn't. Why am I still being affected by those compliments from him

    A few more days passed, and I was waiting for Nicholas to finally give me time to meet me. After that day when he chose to stay home with me, it was indeed a happy day for the both of us since he took care of me. I got surprised by his cooking skills. I did appreciate the food he prepared that day. Yet, after all the things that happened, that was the last time we talked to each other. I haven't seen him the previous days after that. I wanted to tell him about what happened to me and William last time since it was a mission accomplished for me. I believe he would also be surprised by the news that I intended to tell him. A week passed when I tried to visit him at his company, but I only met Fred. He told me that Nicholas was busy taking care of other important things, so I should wait for him to contact me. I tried to visit his place secretly to surprise him, but he was not there. Where could he be? I was contacting him all this time but he didn't even dare to answer any of my message

    VIENNA'S P.O.V. William took his last breath, and finally closed his eyes. I touched his face and tried to wake him up. I tap him and started shaking him even though I knew that he already gave me his last words. There was no sign of him coming back to us now. I knew it was all too late for me to say those forgiving words, but at least I told him everything he needed to know. It was very hurting. My wrath against him instantly faded away after I felt how sincere he was regarding his apology. "He loved you so much..."I turned to Tessa after she said those words. "Didn't you realize what you did?" I exclaimed after that while in tears. Tessa smiled bitterly. "I knew from the very start that I had no match of you, Vanessa. Even before that time I knew you were pregnant with William's child," She continued. "William couldn't get you out of his head. I knew that he loved you so much, but it was my love for him that kept me blinded about that. I struggled with fate, that there might

    TESSA'S P.O.V.My eyes were swollen... My heart was breaking...My daughter is gone. She was the only reason why I could call myself a mother. The light in my dark world. What would I do now? I called William from prison even though my parents forbid me to do it. They also tried to bring me out of the morgue, but I don't want to. I wanted to stay beside my daughter even though I knew that there was no sign of her coming back to me. The doctors told me to leave the place since it won't be good for my health to stay in the room. So, I had no other choice but to leave and stay outside while crying. After a few moments, a police mobile parked in front of the entrance of the hospital. A cop went out from it, followed by William who was still hand-cuffed. They went inside the hospital, and while they were walking, my parents instantly looked at me in disbelief because they knew that I was the one who called and told William about our daughter's death. William's eyes were swollen, and he

    VIENNA'S P.O.V. I paid for a visit from Vienna Cosmetics, and continuously, we were getting good reviews from our customers. As the CEO, I'm very proud of what I have right now. Starting from the dedicated people, and the flow of sales of every product we released. It was all so smooth, that even myself didn't understand where all these things came from, yet all I could say was those efforts we have exerted paid off. I just hope these things would continue, and even if there were times that there would be struggles, I just hope that I could handle them well.I drove back home since I still have one more responsible left at the mansion, and that is taking care of my baby boy, Lucas. Of course, I couldn't forget him as my top priority. When I entered the mansion, the maid came running to me in a panic which made me instantly confused about her actions. "What's wrong?" I instantly asked as soon as she came to me. "Miss Vienna, Sir William was arrested!" She exclaimed while looking at

  • The Billionaire's Mistress   BOTH TAKEN AWAY

    TESSA'S P.O.V.Today, we agreed that we would let my daughter undergo the operation. No matter what the doctors told us, we insisted. I was desperate since I wanted her to live. The doctors told us already that she might not survive during the operation, but as a mother, I wanted her to. Regardless of what the doctors said, I spent money just for the health of my daughter. I didn't get anything from William or even ask him to give me anything. The last time we talked about our daughter, he didn't believe me. He ignored my cries for help. He thought I was lying all this time. He didn't know that I was dead serious about what was going on with our daughter. I tried to reach him again but looks like he blacklisted my account and number to his contacts. All I wanted was for him to be with us right now in this struggle, but up until now, he chose to be with another woman. I was crying all day long, every night, and every time I remembered how he neglected us. I don't understand why I ended

    VIENNA'S P.O.V.After conversing with Nicholas the last time he visited me at my company, I was determined to let Lucas and him take the DNA Test secretly. William never had any idea about us seeing each other since I believe he would suspect us and surely be angry about it. From the moment he saw Nicholas at the party last time, he became too protective of me and Lucas. I don't know what was running inside his head, but I felt that his mood instantly changed when he saw Nicholas that night. But, after knowing the truth about William and Lucas' results, I instantly had an urge to give Nicholas a chance to prove himself. Besides, he also wanted to know the truth. A few days ago, Nicholas and I went to the laboratory to have a DNA Test. I brought something that Lucas was always using since I believe that it could be used to have the laboratory results. After that, the doctor told us to wait for three days. Meeting Nicholas secretly and doing those things was not that easy for me. I bel

    TESSA'S P.O.V.I desperately called William out of my panic because my daughter was suddenly having seizures. We already called an ambulance and followed her there. I also called my parents to be with me since I don't know what would I do because of this sudden happening. At first, William was too stubborn to talk to me. Maybe because he got used of me always calling him, but this time is a serious matter. Our daughter needs him! He should be there at the hospital to see her. Regardless of how many rejections I got from calling, I finally received a good answer. His secretary told me that he would go to the hospital, he just needed the address to where he would go. I immediately gave thme everything that they needed for William to visit. While doing those things, I felt like I also pty myself. I pity my daughter, too. William is her father, but William made us feel like we are not important to him anymore. I still needed to beg for his attention, and he would only go just because som

    WILLIAM'S P.O.V."Sir, Miss Tessa is on the phone," My secretary said as soon as he entered the room. I narrowed my eyes and looked at him after what he said. "Didn't I tell you that I don't want to entertain calls from the woman?" I asked while looking at him. After hearing those words from me, he nodded and told me that he would relay what I said to Tessa. Then, he left my office. I smirked and shook my head after that. I don't understand why Tessa still won't stop bothering me after all the things that happened between us. She kept calling me and begging for my attention. As far as I can remember, she signed the divorce papers already few months ago. We both agreed that we would never bother each other again, but look at what she was doing to me right now. She kept doing things that would make me disturbed. For the second time, my secretary knocked again. As soon as I saw him enter the room, I already knew that he would insist on the phone call from Tessa. So, I instantly tapp

    VIENNA'S P.O.V.A few months have passed, and my son, Lucas, has already reached his 7th month from his birth. I have seen his growth during the months I have cared for him. I saw how handsome he would become in the future, and how many girls would be rooting for him. I tried my best to become the best mother that I could be. Even though I was too focused on him, I never forgot to manage Vienna Cosmetics very well. The company's performance was getting better and has kept receiving higher ratings than before. It was as if I didn't have any other priorities at the moment to the fact that, I was taking care of my seven-month-old child. Ever since I gave birth to our son, William continued giving his best to be the father to Lucas. He kept surprising me whenever he exerted effort for us. He always makes us his priority. As if he didn't want to leave my side. I cannot deny the fact that motherhood hit me that hard because of the changes that happened to me from pregnancy to childbirth.

If I would try to remember the things that happened from the previous months, it all pushed me to decide to leave and stay there for a while. I was too broken-hearted from the events that happened during those times. I could have won them all if that woman stayed with me. If she never cheated on me. I could have won those struggles if only she was with me, but it was all too late for the both of us. During my stay in Europe, I tried to distract myself from all the things that I could do there. I tried to reconnect with my friends and colleagues there. I went to other places that would make me realize that there's more in life to discover. Before I went to Europe, I was blaming myself for the death of Sofia. I knew that the Mendozas had something to do about it, especially Tessa. I tried my b
