Elizabeth was discharged the same day that she was brought in the hospital since she passed out because she was pregnant and nothing else. But instead of going back to the office, Charles drove her back to her house. She was just quiet while they were on their way because there were a lot of things that were running inside her head. There were some changes in her plans but she was hoping that soon she would be having the victory in her hands. "Thank you," she said when the car stopped in front of her grandmother's house. She immediately unbuckled her seatbelt and got off at Charles' car. "Let me get you inside of the house," Charles suggested, which she didn't refuse. She couldn't figure out what was running inside the man's head. Since he found out that she was pregnant with their child, he seemed to be so gentle to her and all he wanted to do was look after her. He had changed but like what she had thought earlier. It was so late for him to do everythi
Charles didn't know what to say. He was speechless because of what Daniel reported to him. He remembered his mother's reaction earlier after she learned that Elizabeth was taking over the company and at the same time the words of Elizabeth before he left her flashed in his mind. Thieves inside the company. He was starting to have a clue what was going on inside the company as he tried to connect the dots. The two important women in his life seemed to be up to something that he didn't know. After he got all the information he needed from his assistant and all the meetings he needed to attend and also the documents that he needed to sign, he dismissed him. He wanted some time alone. He wanted to think about all the things that were happening around him. But Daniel was about to open the door when he spoke. The man was stopped from what he was about to do. "Ahm, Daniel," he said, sounding hesitant. His assistant's eyebrows lifted. "Yes, sir?" He as
Elizabeth was startled when she heard Charles' voice. What was he doing here? That's the question that was inside her mind She didn't expect that he was here and he even had the courage to ask if he could join them for dinner. But before she could even respond to him, Arnold already did. "Yes, please come join us," Arnold said and then he stood up to get a plate and cutlery for Charles who was already sitting next to her. If she would be asked, she didn't want to eat with the man but Arnold was just kind. She couldn't believe that Arnold could still let the man in after what they had found out. It was as if nothing actually happened for Arnold or she could just be mistaken? "How are you feeling now?" Charles asked which brought her back to her senses. "Better," she replied blandly at him and then she put food in her mouth. She was worried that Charles might have heard what she and Arnold were talking about earlier before his voice echoed
Charles decided to leave Elizabeth exactly after they had their tea. He couldn't help but feel bothered by her words. He couldn't believe that those words would come out from her mouth. How could she even say that Carlos was not his son? What on earth was on her mind to say that thing towards his innocent child? Elizabeth had changed a lot and he never heard her before having these kinds of thoughts before. Though Charles found himself thinking about that. He knew that he was too drunk that night and as far as he was concerned Elaine's presence couldn't make him feel aroused which he couldn't understand. He tried it a lot of times but nothing really happened to them since the day that they started to live together. Elizabeth's words made his mind in turmoil. There's one thing that kept on running through his head and he knew that he wouldn't be at peace if he wouldn't get confirmation about the doubt he felt after he heard what Elizabeth said. He couldn't help but feel someth
Elizabeth lifted her head and she saw how serious Charles was. She could see the concern and worry in his eyes. She felt like she was going to explode because of what just happened and even if she didn't want to cry, she was unable to fight back the tears that started to come out from her eyes. Suddenly, she felt so vulnerable. She thought she had been strong for the past couple of years because of everything that she had gone through but here she was again, crying and trembling. She felt like she was the old Elizabeth who would cry in the corner as she saw those sapphire blue eyes of her ex-husband. Those were one of the reasons why she fell deeply in love with him. She could still recall how her heart pounded so fast the first time she laid her eyes on him and how she wished she just looked away that time, so probably, she wouldn't experience all the pain that she had. She didn't have to go through all the sufferings she had to endure because of her love for him. Elizabeth
Charles felt like his heart was being squeezed when he saw Elizabeth earlier in her office. The woman had never been like that since she came back. But earlier, she was vulnerable. His ex-wife was unable to hold her tears and she burst out. She cried so hard. She cried so loud in his chest. Every time he heard her sobs, he felt like his heart was being stabbed by a sharp knife. He couldn't help but feel anger towards his mother because of how she acted but it was not a good time for him to confront her. He knew that wouldn't do any good, especially to Elizabeth. He might just add fire to the burnt. He felt bad and mad at himself because he couldn't do anything aside from hugging her to console her. He didn't know what else to do just to comfort her. Even in his presence, he was not sure if it was even necessary because the pain that the woman was feeling was because of his mother. He couldn't understand why his mom looked so angry at the CCTV footage. All he knew was the wo
Charles couldn't let anyone harm Elizabeth. He promised himself and Elizabeth that he wouldn't let anyone lay a finger on her. He just needed time and he would bring back everything to its proper place. He was able to see everything that the people around him were doing. It hurt him because he thought that they were the people whom he could trust but he never imagined that they would be the one who would be betraying him as well. It's okay for him to feel the pain but he wouldn't tolerate them anymore.He would be doing what was right and do what they deserved. Elaine was surprised because of what he said. It seemed that the woman didn't expect what he had said. Her eyebrows were drawn together while she was looking at him. But, he didn't care. He knew the true colour of the woman. She was just playing innocent and a kind wife but the truth was, Elaine was one of the snakes behind his back. The woman that he chose over Elizabeth was a traitor. He just realised that even if
Elizabeth came out of the washroom and she was surprised when she met Charles and his wife along with their son in the hallway. She felt like her heart was being squeezed when she saw them all together. She admitted that she felt a bit of jealousy towards the family. They were a picture of a happy family and she couldn't help but think that it should be her and their son Albert. Maybe if Elaine didn't get pregnant, maybe, Charles was with them and she was with him and their child. Maybe, Albert would grow up with a father on his side and he didn't have to be left behind in Barcelona. She felt like there was a sharp knife inside her heart because of the pain that she was feeling as soon as she saw Charles and his family. She should have been ready for this kind of scene. It was expected that their paths would cross because she and Charles were just working in one company. Though Elizabeth couldn't turn away the thoughts that were running inside her mind because of the last di
