Four years later The Castillo mansion Martina was sitting at the dining table, savoring her early morning breakfast when she suddenly heard some noises coming from upstairs. She immediately stood up to check on the source of the disturbance and as she was doing so, she saw her daughter, Clara, rushing down the stairs in her favorite pajamas. Her nanny was following behind her and warning her, “Be careful not to slip on the stairs.” but as if her raving fell on hard rock, Clara kept running.Martina's maternal instincts kicked in as she couldn't help but sternly warn her daughter “Clara! stop running and walk down the stairs instead.” She wanted to ensure the safety of her daughter and avoid any potential accidents, prevention they say is better than cure. Clara slows down, not because of what her mommy said, but the intense glare being thrown her way by her mom, her mom had the expression she always has whenever she is angry. However, Clara being that pampered princess she is tried
"Absolutely, my dear," Martina replied to her daughter's question with a warm smile,” I would accompany you and your elder brother to the mall so that you can select whatever you wish to have." Clara's eyes widened with excitement and gratitude as she exclaimed, "Oh, wow! Thank you so much, mommy!" Martina's heart swelled with joy at her daughter's happiness. She continued, "You are most welcome, my love. Now, please go with your nanny and get ready for your lesson. Your tutor will be arriving shortly." Martina stated, studying intently at her daughter's face, for any subtle changes in her expression. She was searching for any hint of emotion or hesitation in her eyes, wanting to ensure that Clara was truly happy and looking forward to their outing, and there was no thought of their earlier conversation and luckily, there wasn't any. “I am running late for work. Your Nanny Lia will be there to assist you with anything you need. Take care,” Martina excused and placed a soft kiss on Cla
Martina appeared unfazed by the words spoken about her as she gracefully made her way towards the entrance of the hospital. Everywhere she went, people gathered around her, admiring her beauty and poise. Over the past few years, Martina had become accustomed to this attention. As she entered the lobby of the hospital, all eyes were upon her once again, and the room fell silent in awe of her presence.Antonio approached Martina with joy in his eyes, "Martina, you're finally here!" he exclaimed. In response, Martina raised an eyebrow and smiled sarcastically, "Did someone finally remember me?" Antonio chuckled and shook his head in amazement, "You know how it is with your friend when she's pregnant, and now with little Michele, who is also quite a handful. She keeps asking me when she can meet your son Luis. I think our friendship might soon become official since my daughter is in love with your son," he explained, and they both chuckled, “I think that would be great,” Martina said.
