“I’m sorry to bother you Mr Sandoval but I really need to talk to you.” Mirabelle told him. She glanced at Miesa who was asleep.“Okay. It’s no bother." Cesar said. "What about?”.“I won’t keep you. Let’s talk in my office.” She said.“Lead the way.” He said.Mirabelle turned and walked ahead of him. She had to tell him now or else she won’t get the chance to again.She didn’t plan on seeing the man who’d broken her heart into a million pieces years ago. If she wanted to move on..then she had to clear everything that was weighing on her mind. They got to her office and she gestured for him to sit on the sofa which he did but was careful not to jostle Miesa.Mirabelle leaned against her desk and crossed her ankles. She took a deep breath and let it out.Show time.“Chiara..is supposed to give you this herself but um..she died in a car accident two months ago.” She informed him in a flat voice.Cesar’s brow furrowed. “Chiara?”. The name sounded somewhat familiar but he couldn't remember
Twelve years agoMirabelle Rivera was your typical high school plain jane with one friend, invisible but was the most brilliant student in Glenwood High school.She was invisible until she was asked to tutor the school’s baddest and of course most handsome boy in history of GHS;Cesari Islan Sandoval. Cesar was failing calculus and without that he couldn’t graduate with his peers so the principal had to practically beg Mirabelle to help him out which she grudgingly agreed to and she became his tutor.“Here you are!”. Mirabelle exclaimed when she finally found Cesar at the back of the school…smoking.Cesar glanced at her, shook his head and ignored her. She wasn’t worth his time. No one was worth his freaking time.“You smoke?”. She stared at him in shock.He didn’t answer but was shocked when she grabbed the cigarette from between his lips and he watched as she threw it on the ground and crushed it with her sneaker.If looks could kill..she’d be a puddle on the floor but she wasn’t int
Mirabelle walked into the living room with a smile on her face but it soon faded when she saw the clothes strewn around on the floor then her gaze travelled to the couch and her heart stopped for a nano second before it picked up speed, thumping madly in her chest as she stared at her boyfriend and her cousin cuddling. Chiara was probably naked and so was Cesar though they were covered with a blanket. She stumbled backwards only to crash into the coffee table which roused the lovers from sleep. Cesar woke up first and he looked disoriented like he couldn’t remember where he was and then he held up a hand to his temple and groaned in pain. Chiara opened one eye then the other. She stretched like a cat but was shocked when Cesar pushed her off the couch and he shot up. “What…" He paused then looked down at his body. He was surprised to see that he was just in his briefs then he looked up at Chiara. "What happened here?”. He demanded in a husky voice. “We had sex. That’s what happene
Cesar sat beside Ellie’s bed with his head in his hands as the doctor’s words replayed in his head.Mimi had Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and it was growing really fast. They needed to start treatments on her immediately but Miesa had refused to come with him to the hospital.She’d thrown a fit and then proceeded to lock herself in her room. She told him very clearly through the door that she wasn’t going to come out until he changed his mind about taking her to the hospital.Didn’t he know she hated hospitals just like her mother?.He’d sighed and told her that he wasn’t changing his mind so she could very well stay locked up in her room and he left.Now he had another thing to worry about. He didn’t have the courage to look at Ellie and tell her that..her baby has Cancer.She’d go mad,that was for sure.Ellie opened one eye then the other. She was disoriented and very very thirsty. She turned her head and saw Cesar sitting on the chair with his head in his hands and his legs were bo
“John look..I can’t talk right now. Can I call you back?”. Cesar said immediately John picked his call. “Is everything ok Cesar?do you need my help?”. John sounded concerned. He'd never heard the man sound so disoriented and so absentminded before. “My baby girl has been diagnosed with cancer." He said. "I don’t know what to do John.” “Calm down Cesar. Take a deep breath and calm down. Everything will be fine.” John assured him. "Don’t worry about anything, I’ll take care of things here. ” “Yeah..sure." Cesar nodded already distracted when he saw Dr Whitman approaching. "Talk to you later John". He hung up and rushed to meet the doctor. "How’s she doctor?”. “It’s good you brought her in Mr Sandoval. We need to start treatments asap.” Dr Whitman told him. “Do anything you can to save her. Cesar said pleadingly. "I can’t lose her.” “I understand how you feel sir. I can assure you that your daughter will be fine.” Dr Whitman told him. “Can I see her?”. He asked. “Yes. Come wit
“Come here little boy. You know I hate looking for you.” His mother said in a sing song voice. "Cece… Mama will bake you a cake. Your favorite chocolate cake but you won’t get it if you don’t come on out.”The little boy whimpered where he hid under the bed as he watched his mother walk around the perimeter of the bed...back and forth.She knew where he was and he also knew she was aware of his hideout but it was like a game to her. She’d make him very scared before she pulled him out.“You have five seconds my baby.” She sang. "I’ll start counting and you’re welcome to join me.”“Five! four! three! two!...” She began counting.“Oh forget it!." A deep voice boomed and stalked over to the bed. He knelt down, peered under the bed and found him. "Come here you brat!.” He reached out his hand and grabbed his ankle then dragged him out and the boy let out a ear piercing scream.Cesar jerked awake, disoriented for awhile before he realized that he was safe and he sighed in relief.That had
“Hey, how are my favorite girls in the world?”. Cesar walked into Miesa’s hospital room with a big teddy bear in his arm and a bouquet of roses in his other hand.“Daddy!”. Miesa’s pale face brightened when she saw him.Cesar dropped the teddy by the bed and pecked Ellie’s cheek, handed her the bouquet then bent to kiss Miesa’s forehead.“How are you princess?”. He asked.“So so.” She said. "Dr Whitman is really nice. I told him sorry for the other day.”Cesar chuckled. “That’s good." He looked at Ellie. "Hey Ell.”“Hey. Thanks for the flowers. I love them.” She smiled.“You look tired. Go and rest. I’ll stay with her.” He offered.“I’m fine". Ellie said then yawned making Cesar raise a skeptical brow. “Are you really?”. He drawled.“This is nothing compared to what Miesa is going through.” She said.“Daddy is right Mommy… you should rest.” Miesa insisted. "Dr Whitman has promised me that I won’t go anywhere.”“He’s right baby. You’re not going anywhere for at least fifty something y
“Evie! Guess what?!”. Elyon couldn’t keep the news to herself any more and she’d missed talking to her bestie. “What?you sound very excited.” Evelyn chuckled. “Guess!”. She insisted. “Okay,okay." Eve laughed. "Let me guess. Hmmn..you’ve finally told Cesar you love him?”. “Even better! We’re getting married!”. Ellie exclaimed. "Cesar and I are getting married!”. “What?!.” Eve exclaimed and someone else did too which made Ellie look up. It was Antoinette Montalvo. Ellie frowned. “Can I call you back Evie?”. “Someone’s there with you?I heard a voice.” Evie asked. “Yes. I’ll call you later.” Ellie said. “Okay bye. I have news for you as well.” Evie told her and hung up. Ellie dropped her phone beside her on the bed and folded her arms as she glowered at Antoinette who walked into the room like she owned it. “What do you want?”. She asked. "You’ve come to finish what they started?”. “If I wanted you dead...you’d be dead and your daughter as well." Annie informed her smiling ev
