  "Oh, sorry, what did you say?" Jose finally responded, sounding a bit distracted.Cole snapped, "Are you serious right now?""I don't mind repeating what I said just now," Camila chimed in."Look, it's not like I wanted to hide it from you two. Julie forced my hand, honestly. She was relentless. I just... I couldn't keep this under wraps anymore. Julie... she's always been hounding your parents about their money, like a leech sucking them dry. She's the eldest, technically, but your father got most of the wealth. So, they made a deal. She gets most of the assets, the properties, the liquid cash—""Wait, wait, wait, let me get this straight," Camila cut him off. "Despite being adopted into this family when we were practically babies, growing up here, being their children... we have no right to their inheritance? That's what you're trying to say?""I wasn't done, missy. Your parents didn't completely desert you. Cole got the company. As for you, Camila... there's something you should ha

  "You've got to be kidding me," Camila muttered. Her eyes darted between Antonio, the strange documents, and the name on the adoption papers. Cole? Adoptive parents: Mr. and Mrs. Lopez? This was beyond weird, beyond anything she could have imagined. Her mind raced, trying to connect the dots. Cole adopted?“Camila,” Antonio said softly, his voice cutting through her spiraling thoughts. He pointed at another document, another birth certificate. Her eyes followed his finger, and there, in bold letters, was “Baby Camila.”“I think the both of you were adopted,” he said.“I can see that,” she spat, without even realizing it. Then she shoved the papers to Antonio's chest and slumped onto the couch, running a hand through her hair. She just sat there in silence.Antonio sat right beside her. “You alright?” he asked gently.“Do I look alright? We've been adopted! Meaning, we've been lied to all these years! Julie didn't even…" She trailed off, taking a giant breath that smelled like anger.“D

  Ever since Alberto was found, Antonio's been even more of a mischievous, clingy boyfriend than usual. Seriously, his whole "hovering" thing, which used to be cute, has turned into this playful, totally persistent shadow.He'll find an excuse to pop in every hour. He even started "helping" her with designs, which mostly means him draped over her shoulder, giving unhelpful but endearing comments. And the most prime location is her bedroom.Well, she's not complaining. Just loving every second of his adorable clinginess and finding new ways to be utterly charmed by him.It's just... that all this clinginess, the proximity and connection... it's all new to her. She's trying to get used to it, soak in it, and enjoy every moment and make the most of it.And she kind of likes Antonio better the way he is now, mischievous, yeah, but in a romantic way. He's still manipulative, but now his strings feel like silk, pulling her closer with every tug. And those smirks... he's not smirking like a ma

  "Who was that, Honey?" Jose called from the living room, not looking up from the phone but listening intently.Julie, standing by the now-closed front door, took a breath so subtle he almost missed it."No one," she replied, her voice smooth, almost too smooth. "Just someone at the wrong address."Jose grunted an "Okay," feigning disinterest, but his mind was sharp, cataloging every detail: the swiftness of her door closing, the almost imperceptible pause before her answer, the chilling calmness in her tone that usually only appeared when she was, well, spinning a tale.He kept his eyes on the screen, letting the silence stretch, giving her space to make her next move. He wanted to see if she'd peek through the peephole, if she'd hover by the door, maybe with a lingering curiosity about the "no one."But she didn't. She just stood there for another beat, then a soft slap of skin echoed."Shit!" she muttered, more to herself than to him. "I forgot."Jose's ears perked up."Jose," she s

  Ernesto watched Jose's retreating back, wishing he could take back the easy "That'll be great" that had left his lips just moments ago.Jose.The name was half-remembered. He’d known, of course, that this was Julie’s husband. The moment the "wrong address" excuse had tumbled out of his mouth, he’d felt like an idiot.Now, though, the invitation had a peculiar twist he hadn't anticipated. Dinner. With Jose. And, presumably, with Julie. A wave of something he couldn't quite name—excitement? apprehension? a mix of both?—washed over him.He lifted the phone back to his ear, trying to call Antonio, but the douchebag of a son was ignoring his calls. He could feel it in his bones; Antonio was intentionally ignoring him. He could practically see his face as he watched his phone ring idly, totally unfazed.Minutes later, a sleek, dark gray Mercedes glided to a stop beside him. The tinted window lowered silently, revealing his usual driver—a stoic man whose expression never wavered, regardless

  The thought of retirement used to be a dream, a shimmering mirage of endless golf games and undisturbed naps. Now, sitting in the humid traffic, Jose found it was more like a mirage that promised fun but delivered… this. Endless grocery lists, for one. And the cooking. God, the cooking. Julie, his wife, had developed an uncanny knack for leveraging their daughter’s disability – “our big baby,” as she called Diane – into a get-out-of-kitchen-free card of "She’s using crutches, Jose; she needs me." Jose sighed, the familiar bitterness bubbling up. He thought of all the usual women, women who should’ve been settled in their husbands’ homes, but Diane instead ended up with an already married man like Lawson. And then the main wife returns, and she's packed out like a forgotten bag of luggage. And Julie… Julie isn't helping. Not showing her the right path. Just there for her demands and needs. If Julie isn't tending to Diane, she's onto Camila. And then there's the other agenda.
