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
"You— " Mrs. Jones uttered with a furious look on her face. She was about to slap her but her hand stopped mid air because Arnold was able to hold her wrist. It was like the same scene she had with Elaine at the company before. She could see her face reddened because of the anger that she was feeling towards her. It was as if there was already smoke coming out of her nose. She remained where she was standing. Just like with Elaine, she wouldn't be saying anything that would make her stoop down in her level but she would give her the words that she deserved to hear with calmness. "Mrs. Jones, please have a decency to yourself. You are in a public place and doing that, you will put yourself in total shame," she said calmly to the woman but in a domineering tone. "Also, don't make it too obvious. The way that you are reacting, just makes you look guilty." Mrs. Jones gritted her teeth and then she swayed her hand. She didn't say a word but walked aw
Their meal was finally over and as their daily routine, they were sitting on the poolside and having their tea. Elizabeth loved the scent and the taste of the chamomile tea. She didn't know but every time that she was drinking it every night, she felt better. So, that's why she sees to it that she had a stock of it. The three of them were sitting in the steel chair with a round glass table in the middle. The silence was deafening. No one had actually dared to talk since they came there. "So, how's the investigation that you are doing about the company?" Charles said as he broke the silence and took a sip of his tea. Elizabeth didn't expect that Charles would be throwing that question to her. She was caught off guard and she didn't know how to answer the man. So, she looked at Charles and then Arnol. She didn't know if she was already ready to trust her ex-husband after everything that happened to them. Charles took a deep breath and spoke. "Alright. There
Charles went to Elizabeth's place after he dropped Elaine and Carlos at home. Like what usually happens, Elaine didn't even ask where he was going. She even looked like she couldn't wait for him to leave. He couldn't say anything yet unless he had all the proof in his hands. When he arrived, he saw Arnold in the kitchen and he was preparing the dinner. Elizabeth was not around. The man mentioned that she was sleeping because it seemed that the pregnant woman was stressed again. So, Arnold told him everything that happened to them when they were in the supermarket.Elizabeth and Arnold met his mom at the supermarket. Arnold mentioned to him that his mother was about to slap Elizabeth and make a scene but he was able to stop her just like what he had done to Elaine at the company. He couldn't believe what his mother and Elaine were doing. Why did it seem that they hated Elizabeth that much? He couldn't even think of anything that Elizabeth had done for them to treat her tha
Barcelona Spain Charles was waiting outside of the laboratory along with his friend. He felt like his butt was being burned. He was so uneasy while sitting. He couldn't describe the emotions that were inside his chest. He was excited and at the same time, he felt like there were a couple of drums rolling inside his heart. He travelled on the other side of the world with his friend to come to the hospital he recommended. The test was done here in Barcelona. He decided to travel even if it was miles away since it is where his friend was based. Finally, they were already doing the DNA test of him and his son Carlos. He couldn't help but get worried as a lot of questions started to run inside his head. So, what if Carlos was not his real son? What would happen to this little boy? He could see that Elaine didn't care about him and she was just using the boy for her self gain. He couldn't even see that Elaine was taking care of her son. He knew that because he watched all the C
Elizabeth felt like she was a melting candle when she saw the message and the photo of her with her son. Arnold quickly guided her to the couch. She didn't know what to think of. A lot of things started to flood her mind. She wanted to get mad because of these people who were behind everything that was happening in their lives. She couldn't believe that vicious people like these existed in this world. How could they even sleep with their conscience? "Stay strong," Arnold said, who was also sitting on the couch with her. "I already called Nanny Maria and informed her not to step out of the house. She needed to stay and keep an eye with Albert. Then, I already sent a message to your dad. I told him that he needed to add more security to your house in Barcelona," Arnold exclaimed. She felt like her whole body was still trembling. This was what she had feared the most. This was her main reason why she didn't want Charles to see Albert yet. She knew that thes
After Charles saw what was inside the envelope and read what was written on it, he immediately stood up and then he went to Elizabeth's office. "Hi," he greeted Elizabeth, who was busy eating ice cream and strawberries. He couldn't believe that she was eating these again just like how she ate the green mango and the ice cream before. He couldn't help but wonder how her stomach was taking that kind of food. If he would be the one eating that, he knew that he wouldn't get out of the washroom. But, Elizabeth seemed to be enjoying every bite that she was having. Daniel was right when he said that pregnant women were really into weird food. He could see that to Elizabeth. If she wouldn't be eating mangoes, he would be seeing her chewing strawberries. He couldn't help but shake his head because of how funny being pregnant could be. "Hello," Elizabeth greeted him. "What brought you here?" She quickly asked while he was walking straight to her desk.
