CHAPTER 192

Gabriel's POVAs I prepared to leave for work, I descended the stairs in my black suit, only to encounter an upset Natalia standing by the entrance with her arms crossed. My heart sank a little; the situation was simultaneously amusing and a little daunting. I knew I had stirred up some trouble by going to sleep last night, however, I was determined not to grant her the satisfaction of triumphing in this matter.The lavender scent of her lotion wafted toward me, mingling with the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee.With a deep breath, I narrowed my eyes and stepped purposefully toward the door. As I reached for the lock, my fingers brushed against the cold metal, but to my frustration, it was securely locked, standing as a barrier to my intended exit.Natalia dangled the keys before my eyes, her smile dripping with triumph."Hand over those keys,” I demanded extending my hands, my voice steady despite the frustration I felt inside."Hahaha.... Seems like I outsmarted you this time,"

Chapter 193

NATALIA'S POV The plan was to make him see me in a different light in preparation for what was coming, but he had clearly not fallen for it. My blood boiled with anger as I recalled the time and energy I put into making that dinner and breakfast. To make matters worse, I had offered the house workers the food, only for me to find it in the garbage dump the next morning. It was infuriating, but confronting them would only lower my pride, so I kept it to myself. It's been three hours since Gabriel left after making a fool of me, and I hadn't stopped walking around, looking for what couldn't be found. I finally decided to observe the daily routine I had recently developed - drinking a hot cup of coffee while reading the latest fashion magazine. I got one of the maids to get me the tea, while I got the magazine from the bookshelf. I was about to take a seat when my phone rang out. I picked it up from the sofa and glanced at the screen. It was Christina. It was kind of strange seeing h

Chapter 194

ADRIAN'S POVMum was still awake when we got home. She had this you-have-a-lot-of-explanation-to-do look on her face as she tapped her feet endlessly on the floor.Christie walked out of the kitchen and took Rafael from Joyce. I guessed she wanted to give us some space."Where are you two coming from?" my mum demanded, her forehead tight with disapproval while her lips pressed into a thin, disapproving line that seemed to convey a thousand unspoken criticisms. The sharpness of her voice cut through me, and I immediately felt defensive, as if I were a child caught in mischief."Mum, you should smile often. It's healthier," I taunted, the words spilling out in a feeble attempt to diffuse the tension but got a slap on the hand from Joyce instead."She's being serious here!" Joyce whispered."What's that? I'm still waiting for an answer," my mum snapped, throwing us a hard glare.Joyce and I exchanged glances, tacitly contemplating whether to tell her the truth or not."Erm... Auntie Luis

Chapter 195

Joyce's POV "I thought I told Miguel to come early," Auntie Luisa grumbled, fidgeting with the tablecloth in her hands. We had only eleven minutes left before the clock struck twelve, and Michelle was still missing in action for the cooking. Auntie Luisa firmly turned down any requests from Sebastian and Christie to assist in the kitchen. "Don't worry, Auntie. I'm sure they'll be here soon," I tried to calm her. "Have you thought about reaching out to them?" a familiar captivating voice echoed from behind, drawing everyone's attention to the stairs. "No, I haven't," I replied, smiling like a lovesick fool. "Good morning, papito." "Buenos días hermosa, ¿cómo fue tu noche?" he replied, walking up to me. Without warning, he firmly grasped my waist and pressed a quick kiss on my lips, leaving me both stunned and flushed. I heard Auntie Luisa gasp in shock. "Can't you two get a room?" In an instant, my cheeks burned with embarrassment, and I couldn't help but swat Adrian's h

Chapter 196

Adrian's POVThat fucking bastard! I cursed inwardly. I had an unsettling feeling feeling he had something up his sleeve, but using my child as a pawn was what I never thought would happen. It seemed like a betrayal of the worst kind, exploiting my most precious relationship. Everyone around me seemed bothered by my silence, but the truth was, I didn't even know what to say. Joyce's name was being unfairly dragged through the mud, and my reputation was unjustly questioned. Only God knows the extent of the damage this situation will cause. Well, I decided to deal with it the same way I dealt with the assassination incident - silence. Yes, I wasn't going to respond to the public's call, and neither was I going to give out a statement.My phone rang out, shrill, piercing the tension that filled the air. All eyes turned to me as I picked up the call."Hello, Daniel. What's going on?" I asked, attempting to hide the worry in my voice."Boss, we have tons of reporters at the building

Chapter 197

Joyce's POV"I'm still confused. What exactly happened between you and that slimy man called Gabriel? Why is he so bent on getting you and my grandson back? " Auntie Luisa questioned perplexed as we sat in the garden, having a cup of hot green tea. Dime todo lo que pasó.I didn't want to discuss it, but I knew ignoring her questions would only bring more headaches."He cheated on me with my sister" I answered with a low voice. "I caught them in the act, so I broke up with him on the spot. It was also that night I met Adrian and conceived Rafael.""Oh, I see," Auntie Luisa nodded in understanding, her lips curved up in a smirk. "You know, you're quite the gentle one. If it were me, I wouldn't hesitate to burst his balls instantly."I almost spilled tea on my dress as I laughed hard, imagining such a scene in my head. It would have been hilarious, but I also would have ended up in jail, and I certainly wouldn't be here today with my friends and new family."That's funny," I chuckled, pl

Chapter 198

Adrian's POV"Boss, we have a serious technical problem at the moment," Michelle said, her tone serious as soon as she noticed Miguel and me entering her department. "If this issue continues for the next two days, I can't predict what will happen next.""People are also suggesting you fire Joyce or you demote her," Michelle added in a low voice.Miguel crossed his arms, a stern look in his eyes. "Adrian, with this, you can't remain silent," he said, his tone urging. "Santoria Industries will face a huge backlash and you won't be able to rise back in a few years. Your laying low is dangerous.""Boss, you have a visitor," someone walked in and said with a bow."What visitor?" Miguel asked."His name is Barrister Torres. He's a lawyer sent from Cielo Azul Enterprises," the lady replied. "He claims he was sent by the CEO himself.""Great," I muttered sarcastically, a smirk dancing on my lips despite the gravity of the situation. "You can leave," I stated. "I see he's also using legal acti

Chapter 199

Adrian's POVJoyce wasn't in her bedroom when I checked,and I felt a twinge of panic creep in. My mind darted to Rafael's room, where I assumed she would be. Sure enough, when I peeked inside, there she was. My mum was also there, but surprisingly, they didn't notice my presence.I stood at the door, half-hidden in the shadows, unable to move. "Don't worry. I'm sure he'll come back to his senses very soon," my mom whispered, soothingly rubbing her back."It's not his fault," Joyce muttered weakly, as if trying to shield me from her own struggles. "I understand being a public figure can be quite strenuous. He just needs time to think."The guilt in my heart intensified upon hearing those words. She continued to defend me, even after I had yelled at her. I could no longer bear to listen to her sobs; each one pierced through me like a dagger.I lightly knocked on the door, and it immediately grabbed their attention. Honestly speaking, I had never been in a situation where my mother would

Chapter 200

Adrian's POV"Boss, the meeting is set. Everyone is waiting for you," Daniel announced, prompting a collective sigh from everyone in the room.I rose suddenly, adjusted my suit, straightened my tie, and reached out my hand confidently. "Come on, mi amor, it's time to go."Joyce took my hand firmly, and we left the office and headed straight to the conference room. The room was filled to its maximum capacity with reporters and paparazzi, both in and out.The ones lurking in the hallway leading to the room sighted us and ran towards us, but the bodyguards were fast enough to stop them and shield us.We walked confidently as the rapid clicks of cameras and lights flashed all around us. I could feel Joyce's hand trembling as she braced for what would come. My stomach churned at the pain she had passed through these couple of days. I swore then to protect her with my life."I'm with you," I whispered into her ears, squeezing her arm reassuringly, and the trembling ceased.Joyce and I were

Chapter 201

Gabriel's POVMy last argument with Natalia had kept me on my toes. I couldn't help but sense danger. It was like a calm before the storm.I desperately tried to ignore it, because all I wanted was to focus on the current progress I was making. Cielo Azul Enterprises had been receiving appeals from different companies for a partnership. I was certain it was all because of my recent interviews and the allegations I made against Adrian.Everything was going well, just as it was supposed to be until Ivan came barging into my office."Boss, we have a big issue on our hands," he exclaimed, breathing heavily.Ivan has been with me for a very long time and I'd never seen him like this. His usually confident demeanor was replaced by a look of sheer panic; beads of sweat dotted his forehead.I was infuriated and couldn't help but snap. "Why did you have to barge in like that? I've told you repeatedly to knock before entering."Ivan swallowed hard, his eyes shifting nervously. "Boss, I apologiz
