As the rain starts, the priest sprinkled holy water on the top of my mother's coffin. Many people were surrounding the whole ceremony including our relatives. I contacted them as soon as I found out about my mother's death. Aunt Elizabeth panicked and rushed to my house after knowing what happened that very next day. I faced her all alone and didn't speak for a few seconds. She looked at me and just hugged me while crying. I could also feel that she was shocked to know the tragic news.

"I'm sorry, Vanessa. I was not able to be with you during that time, but God knows how I mourn for my sister," She said with teary eyes as she looked at me. I just gave her a blank expression that time. She promised that she would help me process the papers for Mama Lynette's burial. The other things were secretly provided by Nicholas. He told me the last time we meet that he would help me, too.

Now, I stand in front of my mother's coffin, staring at it for one last time. People started crying includi

  • The Billionaire's Mistress   DEATH OF VANESSA LORENZO

    I spent my day at the hospital after being bought by Nicholas since I had a fever from yesterday. The doctor also told me to rest first even though I also wanted to go home. I tried my best to leave, but the nurses of the hospital told me that Nicholas strictly told them not to let me. He even sent some food for me to eat. At first, I tried to ignore everything he sent for me, but the nurses tried their best to persuade me. I ate just a bit, but I ended up not finishing all of it. I remained lying in bed while staring at the ceiling. I can only hear the sound of the machine beside me, and the ticking of the clock. The nurses told me that Nicholas already left after sending me the things I need. Again, I'm alone in this suffocating place. The last time I got here was the time when I was still with Mama Lynette. But now, I'm here all alone without anyone to stay by my side. I stared at the ceiling and started thinking about random things. Am I going to be like this forever? Do I have t

    After signing the agreement, I returned the paper to Nicholas who was smiling at me. He grabbed the paper from my hand and turned the pages of the agreement papers. "Have you read the things you need to do besides the changes you will undergo to? Those are important things, too," He said while looking at me. I instantly forgot about that because of the overflowing emotions in me. I wanted to officialize everything as soon as possible. "Looks like you haven't read it yet. I'll read it for you," He added. He cleared his throat and started reading everything. "Point 1: Be in a new identity where you could show yourself to people as a popular person excellent in business and artistry.Point 2: Gain the trust of the Mendozas.Point 3: Flirt with William Mendoza and make him fall for you, Point 4; Bring the Mendozas down." After reading all the things included in the agreement, he stopped and looked at me. "So, are you ready to do all those things?" He asked. "That's only four thing

  • The Billionaire's Mistress   TOMB OF AN ANGEL

    The time we stayed at the hospital was a bit pressuring. I tried to listen to Nicholas and Dr. Melendez's conversation. They were really serious about their plans as if they already knew they would earn an excellent result. I also got to know who Dr. Melendez was. He also told me I should get used to his presence since he'll be my surgeon for the upcoming operation tomorrow and the following days to maintain my appearance. He's a very kind person. I felt comfortable dealing with him which I also think was very good. After a few hours of conversing with Dr. Melendez and familiarizing myself with what will happen for tomorrow, we finally decided to leave the hospital. Nicholas and I entered the car. I sighed while staring at the road when I realized that Nicholas was staring at me. So, I raised an eyebrow while looking at him. "What?" I asked. He smiled a bit and started the engine. "Do you want to go somewhere else first before we go back?" He asked. I looked at him confused about

  • The Billionaire's Mistress   THE BIRTH OF A NEW IDENTITY

    After giving me a chance to be alone for a while when we visited the tombstones of my mother and son, we finally decided to leave the place. There were mixed emotions in me right now. The feeling of longing for the presence of my mother who is now lying dead under that cold ground. The feeling of bitterness of making me realize that I already lost two important people in my life just because of the Mendozas. And, there's a bit of happiness in me because Nicholas took care of the remains of my boy and managed to bury his body with my mother's. Now, he just gave me a complete inspiration of why I should continue and do this revenge against those people responsible for the death of my son, and my mother. I knew William had nothing to do with the accident I had when my son died. But, he's still responsible because he neglected us. He forgot that he still had a responsibility in the upbringing of my son. Now, I count on him to be blamed because of my loss. Hours passed, and just like what

    THREE WEEKS AGOTESSA'S P.O.V.I was busy preparing the nursery room for my daughter when William came in a rush to me. He stood at the doorstep of the room and gave me a look of disbelief. "What did you do?" He asked while looking at me. I raised an eyebrow and replied, "What do you mean? I'm just prepared our daughter's room with the maids. Aren't you happy to see that I'm exerting an effort here?" I asked while showing him all the preparations we did. He looked around and turned his eyes on me again. "That's not what I mean. I heard what you did to Vanessa from Taylor. Why did you do that?" He said while looking at me. I instantly stopped holding the toys I intended to arrange after hearing those words from him. I turned to the maids who were helping me at the moment and told them to leave us alone for a while. They all nodded and walked outside the room. The two of us were only left and the atmosphere suddenly changed because of that. He never stopped staring at me ever since

    I slowly opened my eyes and saw the same place where I was before I went to sleep. It was true that the anesthesia Dr. Melendez gave me to sleep, but I didn't feel it took very long. It was just like a regular sleep that I always do. I looked around and saw Nicholas sitting beside me. He is asleep at the moment, without knowing that I was already awake. I slowly reached for his hand to let him know that I got my consciousness back. My hand was still shaking when I tried to reach him, and my body was full of bandages coming from the operation. It feels like I got a degree burned because of the bandages covering my whole body. I looked like a mummy from the movies. "Nicholas," I whispered while gently tapping his hand. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at me. When he realized that I was already awake, he immediately stood up. He went outside the room and I heard him call for Dr. Melendez. After a few minutes, both of them entered the room. Dr. Melendez was smiling at me as soon as

    WILLIAM'S P.O.V. "Sir, Vanessa's mother died," I stood up from my seat as soon as I read the message. People surrounding me instantly looked at me in confusion because of my sudden gesture. I almost forgot that I was in the middle of having my shareholders meeting at the moment. "What's the matter, Mr. Mendoza? Do you not like the proposal?" One of the shareholders asked. I looked at each one of them and sighed. "Nothing. Just continue the presentation," I replied and sat down again. They turned to the presentation and continued listening. The presentation itself was interesting, but I was too bothered about the news I received. I can't focus on the meeting because of it. So, I stood up again. And just like the first time I did that, they again turned to me. "Just continue the presentation. I'll just go outside to take care of an important matter. The secretary will record the minutes of the meeting for me," I said and walked outside the room. I closed the door and entered

    I stayed in the hospital for three more days after the removal of all the bandages I had from the surgery. As was said by Dr. Melendez who operated on me, all the standards and expected results are met. Nicholas was also satisfied with what he saw and gave Dr. Melendez an excellent commentary. He promised that he would refer Dr. Melendez to all people whom he knew that need surgery. I was also amazed by this great transformation I had as soon as I saw myself in the mirror. I never thought that I'd be like this. I can't believe that I am in a new identity. It's like I've been born again. During my stay, just like before, Nicholas was always there for me. We celebrated the successful operation in the hospital. He invited Dr. Melendez since he was the only person who knows my true identity. The celebration was exclusive for the three of us. Nicholas told me that we would also celebrate in the mansion once I came back from the hospital. "Thanks again, Dr. Melendez for all the help. We'l

  • The Billionaire's Mistress   MISTRESS NOT ANYMORE

    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

  • The Billionaire's Mistress   DEBTS TO BE PAID

    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

  • The Billionaire's Mistress   A FATHER'S CLAIM

    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.

    NICHOLAS P.O.V."WELCOME BACK MASTER NICHOLAS!" The maids greeted as soon as I entered the mansion. I smiled at them after their greeting. It's been a while since I had decided to go to Europe. 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
