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.
"What are you doing here?""Why are you here?" Those were the questions that came out from Elaine and Charles. The two were both surprised to see each other. Elizabeth was just looking at the two women who just got inside her office without even knocking. They really act as if they were someone that was over her. "Shouldn't I be the one who is asking you that question? Both of you? What are you two doing here? You don't even give respect to the person who's staying in this room," Charles said in an authoritative tone. She could say that the man was furious because of his tone of voice but the two women in front of them were not even bothered. "Why should we even knock? Why should we pay respect? Who do you think she is?" Mrs. Jones mumbled as she was looking sharply at her. Elizabeth couldn't believe how thick the faces of these two women showed up in her office as if they had not done anything wrong to her. She tried to stay calm
Charles removed Mrs. Jones' hands that were embracing his legs. He couldn't believe the woman who raised him was an evil. He felt so bad because of all the things that happened in his life. He was stolen a couple of years to be with Elizabeth and their child. He felt like his heart was stabbed by a sharp knife. He was supposed to be with Elizabeth when she gave birth to their son but because of his own mother, he lost that chance. He missed those moments with his child. He was supposed to be there while he was growing old and witness his milestones but he was not given a chance because of the deception. Charles felt like his heart was being squeezed with the realisation that he had been a toy of Mrs. Jones and Elaine. The two women made a fool out of him. How could they be selfish? How could his mother and Elaine ruin his life because of their selfish ambition? How could they be this greedy that they were willing to kill people just to get what they wanted in li
"I cannot believe it. Did you really do that?" Elizabeth said, full of disbelief in her voice. "Yes," Charles confirmed to her. "I am sorry. I am just so worried about you and our child. I know you have a sensitive pregnancy and I am just scared that you might have miscarriage again so I tried to keep an eye on you as much as I could. So, I can be there if you need any help. I don't want what happened before to happen again. I consider this as a blessing because for the fourth time, you got pregnant," Charles explained to her with sincerity. She could feel in his voice that he only wanted to make sure that she was okay. Elizabeth didn't know what to feel but she knew that her heart was swelling because of so much happiness. She could tell that Charles was really concerned about her. It seemed that the man had really changed. She had witnessed it all earlier. She had seen how he had talked back to Elaine and his mother. He defe
