She followed him closely, mad on his trail despite hiring a cab.
"Drive faster!" She nudged the old man.
The man nodded and stepped on it.
The rough road made her hold on to her swollen stomach feeling each bump the car suffered affect her aching back and the baby inside.
Soon, they arrived at a village.
She couldn't understand what her husband planned to do here but she had a gut feeling, evil looked close by.
She instructed the driver to stop when she saw her suspect turn around in their direction, his eyes were bloodshot, they had no mercy.
He flimsily checked around even peering in her direction but as the good Lord would have it, he dis not approach the vehicle that had been following him for minutes.
She saw her husband pay a bulge in his back pocket and proceed to where he was headed.
That was the gun, She could swear.
Maybe she was right, Rod was in some kind of trouble. She had to know what
Nathan left the doorway he had leaned on to earlier and approached Adriana.He had given her enough time to grieve.The cops had already left and all that was left of the murder was the bloody words on the floor."What do you want to do now?" Nathan asked a frozen Adriana."I don't know." She answered and looked around the house that took her in. The only place she could call home for three years and now that she knew she was not alone, This happened. Fate would not just stop fucking with her.She remembered the words her late mother had engraved to the ground with her own blood.Ro!What could it mean?"Are you ok?" Nathan inquired.Was she ok? Why would he even asked that... Someone she knew just died and there was a high chance she could have if she hadn't gone with him.She couldn't blame him, he must feel awkward from the situation and sensing his relationship with the Contreras, it was
Rodriguez noticed his wife staring at him and decided to scold her for not helping."You know honey, you always insist on doing everything but today, you don't seem to want to help. Are you alright?"She was stunned."I'm alright. I just don't see the need to go with them. We can go on our own.""Nonsense. You hardly relate with anyone, I'm doing this for you.""Are you sure or is it something else?" She spilled before she could think straight."Ok. What's wrong?" Rodriguez demanded, getting closer to her.She could barely breathe seeing him so close to her. Her self defense instinct went haywire.She almost compulsively took out the knife she has hidden on her to protect herself.She hadn't slept last night, not with the fear that he would kill someone and when she did, the terrible nightmares interfered."Maybe you shouldn't go." Rodriguez put in."I'm going!" She almost yelled.She had to keep a w
"When will you give me a grandson Nathan?" Nathan listened while his mother brought that subject again.What could he do to satisfy this woman?His mother was a tall woman in her early fifties and with a mouth of a teenager. She could never just stop babbling. Nathan could hardly believe he was spawned by the woman. Her hair was dirty blonde with faint streaks of grey bit she did a good job hiding them with hair treatments. Her skin was porcelain white almost making her as white as a corpse and it had fine lines to adorn her transition into old age. She was not welcoming it well, however.She masked her face in Mary Kay in hopes to defy nature and it was a failing battle.He, on the other hand, had picked most of his features from hi
The Boulderfist company was one of the most influential ones in the city of Mexico started six years ago by Nathan and three other equally wealthy individuals.The company produced wine. Wine that made people drunk and drained them of their expenses but adding to Nathan and his shareholders' pockets.The elegant building was a 20 story building adorned with glass-like mirrors and a very busy one at that.A red Ferrari pulled up at the enormous parking lot with Mr Nathan Tocci getting out from it.A young woman in her early twenties and dressed in a red suit. immediately rushed to aid him with his briefcase which he could be handled individually."Sir! Mr Rodriguez is waiting."
"Manna doesn't fall ifyou don't ask.""So what do I have to do?" Bianca asked, angsty to finally start working."You...pretend to be my girlfriend," Nathan said firmly but gently."Why?"Bianca seemed confused as to why he would want her to make her pretend she was in a relationship with him."Because I have a demanding mom and I want her out as soon as possible. "Bianca nodded solemnly to his reply."So now that I'm idle. Let get to know each other. My mother will kill you with her question so best be prepared."Bianca nodded in response and began talking."Well, I'm Mexican. Twenty-one. I guess that's all."Nathan raised an eyebrow."No family?"He watched Bianca slowly grasp to the Hem of her garment and he immediately knew he had made the wrong move."I'm so sorry. I didn't know they were dead." He apologized, out of necessity than from his heart.Tears escaped Bi
"Everyone has problems so don't you envy."The maid had the look on pure surprise when she saw Nathan with a visitor. It was more than a rare occasion to see one visit and it was a girl.She knew Nathan had his fair share of women but he was not a player.This woman, however, looked kind of different. His league of ex usually had three distinct features which was long hair, an exaggerated accent and a bad attitude to the lower class. The beautiful woman her eyes beheld was humble. The way she had a face to the ground suggested so and could hardly hide her dislike for the heels she wore. Her short hair told a lot about how much she was willing to spend on her looks."Can we come in?"
Three months later"Time tells all things"The wedding preparation was far too hectic for even Nathan. His mother indeed had her way and now he was getting married to a girl he barely knew.Who is was he to complain?Bianca as taking this really well. She was a good little girl or maybe she was just doing it for the huge paycheck he was going to offer her.Nathan had no male friends so his room was filled with his co-workers who hardly cared if he was dressed or not. They were all too busy either chatting or on their phones.Nathan spoke to the only person who would listen to him, himself."Just do it Nathan. In a year you'll file for a divorce and everyone goes home happy."He put on a black tie adorning his spotless and ironed white shirt. His favorite color."Are you ready?" Rodriguez asked.Apparently, he was quite good at fashion designing and his brand, Rori ha
"After God, fear women"Claire was dumbstruck. It could not be. Nathan had just married his competitor and she had nothing to say about it.The dinner was about to commence so she had plenty of time to prove Bianca was a fraud.Wrong!She had very little time and she remaining glued to her seat was not going to change anything.Claire stood up and joined the new wife, her suspicion making her unable to keep a smile."Bianca..." There was nothing to say. Claire did not want to throw the bombshell just like that, people could still make out what she was about to spit put and moreover, Bianca might just be a lookalike. A thousand thought was scrambling her mind and she was about to utter a word that ruin Nathan's marriage."Bianca! You look beautiful."Luckily, Nathan's mother came to her rescue along with her bubbly nature."Thanks!" Bianca coyly replied."Now let's go get dressed for the party

Fuck! Pick up the phone you bastard!Rodriguez tried Nathan again only to be cut off again.What could he do now?, He thought.The Contreras had disappointed him and now Nathan was spending time with that girl.If Adriana managed to get just a fragment of who she was, she would question the Contreras and there was no way his name would not be given out.Shit! Why was this happening to him?His enemies had tripled. If only he has put an end to Adriana the time he met her.Nathan would surely be trying to make her remember her past but the problem was where they would be.Rodriguez had sixty percent certainty that he would take her back to their family.Of course, Rodriguez snapped his fingers finally getting his shit together.Now all that was left was to send Chale spying while he went to have a talk with the Contreras.He pulled up a gun from his drawer, the cold metal made him
"Hello, Dr. Suarez."Mrs Romero wasn't expecting a call from Dr. Suarez this earlyThere could only be one reason why he was calling, For her, this was the moment of truth, she was ready for anything."It's about the DNA results."Mrs Romero remembered to take deep breaths in case it didn't come out as she had expected."I don't believe this but Ema shares your DNA."Mrs Romero choked on her own saliva.This was definitely not what she had imagined."Dr Suarez... Ema... is Adriana?""Yes." The man replied."Excuse me." Mrs Romero said before putting the call on hold and running around the room like she was on fire."She's alive!"Her newfound joy took the wrong turn when she remembered that Ema wasn't in the hospital anymore.She vividly remembered watching her go with the wrong people.It shattered every good moment she had planned to share with the world - her workers.She retu
"What will I tell father," Ema thought as she walked back to the reception.She had been so rash that she accepted to go on a date with Nathan.It was stupid but yes, she complied.Seeing her father in such a foul mood at the reception made things a whole lot awful go her."Dad..." She made her presence known to him."Ema, why did you run off like that? Are you ok?" Mr Contreras demanded, examining he like he was sure she had been molested in his office.The punk's lips was a devilish temptation and the sparks she felt when their body met was alarming, apart from that, Ema knew she was untainted."I'm fine Dad.""So what did he tell you?""You got your job back."She expected her father to be shocked or doubtful but instead, he was angry."What! How!""I don't understand you Dad, Didn't you want the job back?""Ema, I want you to tell me the truth and now, What did he do? Did he say anything?""No...
Gasps and look of pure shock was all Nathan said as he walked up to his office.The surprised looks of his workers were funny at first but with him receiving it everywhere, it was becoming disturbing.It was almost like no one wanted him back.He wasn't the most social but at least they could pretend to care.Nathan got over their stares, focused on getting to his office.He adjusted his black three-piece suit and unlocked the knob to his office.The place was just like how it left itExcept for the position of his office chair.Nathan wasn't a fan of that check so he tried to change it himself.At that moment, someone knocked on the door before opening,A woman in her mid-twenties walked in, caramel-skinned and very lanky, the model body structure."Good morning Mr. Tocci, I'm the new secretary" she informed in a professional voice."Good. I'd like to have an appointment with the top workers in t
So now she's awake.Nathan watched Ema stretch out her hands and run her eyes before she opened them to reveal the darkest chestnut brown orbs.This kind of beauty only belonged to his wife. If she was truly a lookalike, they couldn't share exactly the same features."Where am I?" Ema mumbled, shocked to see herself in the hospital."The hospital. Isn't it obvious?"Ema turned to see who was talking."Nathan…""I see you know my name. Do you like it?"Nathan got up the bed he was in and approached her.Ema could feel her breath slipping away when he got too close for comfort.He was so close to her face that she could see his peach soft lips were natural."You must be Ema, Ema Contreras," Nathan noted.Ema ran her hands her short hair just to get the awkwardness of the situation out of her mind.What she didn't understand was why he was talking different. His stance had even changed. She suspected
Nathan flinched feeling a sting in his wrist. He forced his tired lids opened. His eyes burned not used to the light.The first question to pop into his mind was 'where was he?'He sat up and his arm stung again. He turned and ripped away the needle that caused the pain.He could now make out that he was in a hospital but he couldn't make out why.I survived.Nathan remembered being shot. He checked the spot to see the bullet wound.It was odd to just see a scar in place of what was supposed to be a fresh wound.He let his finger linger around the scar wondering why it healed so fast.He got out of his bed trying to stretch and ponder on what was happening.Someone at the left whimpered, like they were in pain.He turned to where the noise came from."Adriana!"He rushed to her bedside.Her face was squeezed and she continued to breathe heavily.It had to be a nightmare."Nathan!"
