Chapter: CHAPTER 235CHAPTER 235Serene “Diego is…is everything OK?” I wondered what had happened to have him cry like that."Why Serene...why?" he asked in a hurtful tone as I struggled to understand what was going on."I…I do not comprehend what you are saying, Diego. Is everything okay?” I asked, looking at him confused.“No!” He went down on one knee and said, "Nothing is fine unless you accept my proposal.""Diego,” I whispered."Serene Brights, will you marry me and make me the happiest man in the world?" he begged, tears streaming down his cheeks and his lips shivering.“Ye…yes I will…I will marry you," I murmured, helping him get up as we hugged.“Woo!" I heard Grace and Miguel.So they were pretending to be asleep.(Two days later)I stood in the center of the stairs, a veil enveloping my head like a breath of silk.My wedding gown was beautiful as dew, exquisite and unbending, just like I had weathered all storms.My babies clutching to the lace sleeves and chatting fast.

Chapter: CHAPTER 234CHAPTER 234Serene Two weeks later Our home was filled with peace, and everyone had the smiles we had all been waiting for. The girls were preparing for their naming ceremony.The entire house was filled with balloons and flowers. Grace and Rina were racing up and down making sure nothing went wrong since this was a ceremony they did not want to ruin at any cost.Miguel exclaimed, "The priest is here!" and everyone moved to greet him."Be blessed, my kid," he whispered, resting his hand on top of Miguel and offering him a sweet.“Mommy, can I give the girls some?" Miguel asked about breaking the sweet."Oh no, baby, you'll give them plenty when they grow," I smiled.We went to sit around the fire as the priest started the ritual. He sprinkled olive oil on their foreheads and smiled at them."Great riches and power are within their destiny, and joy will always be a part of it, but dark times will come," he warned, causing my heart to skip a beat before he added, "But they are strong

Chapter: CHAPTER 233CHAPTER 233Serene I awoke to the sound of a little scream coming from one of the cradles and rushed out of bed, only to find Diego already cradling the baby who had awoken.“Hey that was fast," I smiled."I know, madam, you can sleep," he said, carefully turning her from side to side."No, maybe I need to feed her," I said, preparing to take her from him when she began sobbing."I think she wants to remain with Daddy," Diego murmured, and I smiled, wondering how she had already taken sides.I am not sure how I fell asleep, but I woke up every time a small cry sounded from the crib. The next morning, we all prepared to travel to New York. "Mommy, I hope you will snap plenty of pictures of my sisters when we get on the plane," Miguel stated as we climbed into the Van."Yes, my darling," I said as I brushed his curly hair.We arrived at the runway and boarded the plane. "Goodness, I can not wait to get to New York," George said."Me neither," Rina murmured, going to rest on his shoulde

Chapter: CHAPTER 232CHAPTER 232Diego "In other news, millionaire Diego Myers has been cleared of all charges following his detention in London, and some individuals have lately posted touching images of him and the Queen leaving a hospital after his release. Could he be the father of the two angels we saw?” The reporter remarked this as she zoomed in on a shot of Serene and me strolling with the girls."Gosh, these folks never miss an opportunity to create a trend," Serene commented, taking a seat next to me, but I had to ask if she needed anything since the prospect of her fighting an entire nuclear war alone terrified me.“No, I'm OK. You're acting strange lately, are you OK?” she asked."Yes, but I have been thinking about something, and you do not have to agree if you are not ready," I answered when she asked for my opinion."After everything you have been through, I was thinking about you going to therapy." You have been through a lot. I just want you to be OK.”“OK, I'll. Anything else?" She aske

Chapter: CHAPTER 231CHAPTER 231Serene It was a Saturday morning, and I awoke with the sensation that something was missing. I am not sure what it is, but I know a part of me is not present. "Good morning," Diego said, strolling in with flowers in his hands."Hello, where have you slept?" Rina had informed me he had not gone home, so I inquired."Umm, somewhere safe. I can not go home until I know it is safe for everyone, but for now, we need to get your belongings together and go," he stated."Finally, they are going to meet their brother and grandmother," I grinned.I watched Diego prepare my bags as I calmed the girls down after they began weeping."Ms. Brights, you appear to be in for a lot of fun," observed the doctor as he strolled in."Definitely, but I will be around, so it will be fantastic," Diego said, as the doctor nodded and walked away.Pete walked in and assisted Diego with our belongings, as I made my way to the car behind them. I am not sure why they had to hire so many guards, but Dieg

She exclaimed, and we all turned to see who she was referring to, stunned by what we were witnessing.Charlotte Brights What is she doing here after beating Sofia?“Move!" she pushed Sofia and made her way inside.We were all surprised, and Sofia was seething as she went after Charlotte, preparing to grab her by the hair, when Charlotte grabbed her firmly and twisted her arm."Do not even lift your unclean hands at me, okay," she told Sofia, who was crying in anguish."Let go of my arm, you bitch; I will call the cops. How dare you do this to me in my own home?" Sofia replied."You are stupid for not double-checking the property paperwork. This is a house Serene bought for me, but I asked her to give it to you because I knew I would need it on a day like today, so do not push it or I will kick your ass out right now," Charlotte said, flinging Sofia to the floor.Max, Sandra, and I looked at each other in sh

Chapter: CHAPTER 68CHAPTER 68Luis It has been hours and Ariella has not returned from her parents' house with Hope. "Boss, we have an invitation to a black rose party," David remarked, handing me the card."We will deal with it later; right now, we need to go retrieve my wife," I said, getting into the car.David began, and we drove for an hour before arriving at Ariella's parents' home. We parked and went inside the home when we saw Ariella and Hope being led out."Daddy,” Hope said the moment she saw me and ran to get a hug."Hey baby how are you?" I asked her."I am well; Aunt Klara baked me biscuits while Mother and Grandpa watched cartoons with me," Hope said excitedly.I could tell she was having a good time and thanked Klara and her father before driving Ariella and Hope to the vehicle.“Wait," I said to Ariella before she got in.“Yes," she turned.“I…If you do not want to go back home right now, I could allow you to spend time with your family.”"It is fine, we need to start moving before it

Chapter: CHAPTER 67CHAPTER 67Ariella I was still shocked that Luis defended me from Lucia. I am not sure why I felt compelled to go see whether Lucia was in his room after he left mine. To my amazement, they were bickering, and Luis was defending me like the male protagonist in a romantic film. Before Luis could come out, I dashed back to my room and locked myself from the inside. I had shivers simply thinking about how Luis was protecting me. It's like I was about to fly. Did I mean so much to him?I told myself to calm down and went to bed to take a nap, but I could not fall asleep. Every time I opened my eyes, all I could see was Luis, and when I closed them, it got even worse.The next morning I woke and went to get ready for breakfast. Everyone seemed to have been at the table except Luis. I greeted them and was ready to pull out my chair when Luis did it instead.“Morning beautiful," he said and then smiled at me."No, we are eating breakfast; I believe you should take yours upstairs," Annie t

Chapter: CHAPTER 66CHAPTER 66Luis I was about to lose my head during supper, but Hope was present. Ariella was also present and I couldn't because I am attempting to demonstrate to her that I have changed. But Lucia is just here to awaken my beast. We have not spoken in ten years, since I discovered she was having an affair with my closest friend without my knowledge.I loved how she made me feel like I was the only man in her life, even though there was another. I was unhappy when I found out, but there was nothing I could do because she was already pregnant with his kid.I made my way to my room and noticed that the lights were turned off, which I did not leave like that, so I switched them on but could not believe what I saw.“What are you doing here?" I asked Lucia who was smiling at me from the couch."Nothing, just checking on the ruthless beast that replaced me with a low life, honestly now Luis," she said.I understood precisely what she was trying to do, but I am not the same man who was ob

I questioned the woman who approached me with a strange glance as if I were something she had been looking for.“Forgive my bad manners I am Lucia, but you may call me Lucy," she said, tugging my left cheek.The fact that individuals might even become so at ease startled me so much that I could not even pretend to grin. “OK Lucia please enjoy your—" "Oh no, I am not here for a visit; I am Luis' cousin who was supposed to marry him," she replied as I looked surprised, before adding, "But he took you instead.""OK, I will see you around, and it was lovely meeting you, please excuse me," I replied, turning around as she aggressively grabbed my hand."Umm, don't you think walking out on me at our first meeting is rude?" she asked with a serious look."No I believe we will run into each other frequently so—”"Well, do not do that, so put your purse down and come have tea with me," she replied, dragging me into the kitchen."Take it gently, I may hit m

Chapter: CHAPTER 64CHAPTER 64Ariella I took a deep breath and gazed around the room one final time, Luis' words echoing in the back of my mind.“I'm in love with you.”What?!I do not comprehend how things could happen so swiftly after one night. I sometimes lose myself in his hugs, but the fact is that I do not want anything to do with him. I lost my first lawsuit, but I will not lose my divorce. I turned around and made my way out of the room."Mrs. DeLuca, is there anything you would like us to do?" The hotel manager inquired with a serene grin."No, simply clean the room and send everything to the address I will provide you," I answered, walking away.When I reached outside, David was waiting for me with the door to my seat open. I jumped in the car and took a seat. When I asked David where Luis was, he had just shut the door and was about to begin driving.“Boss has gone to handle business madam," he responded.Exactly as I thought there's no way he would be so in love that he left me to run to

When I requested David to verify her location, she was at the graveyard a few hours later.I was confident she was with Emma, so I checked the tracker when it showed she was in a restaurant.Knowing that my wife does not spend much time in such places, I was startled but decided to surprise her, only to meet my biggest nightmare—Enrico.I could see him staring at Ariella with mischievous eyes and a smile that could not conceal his desire from someone like me, who could see it on his blasted lips. I wanted to walk back, but my beast side would not let my wife be with a rival, so I took a few steps closer.When our eyes connected, Enrico was unhappy because he knew I would not go without my wife. Ariella, on the other hand, did not appear bothered about offering me a seat when I told her she was joining me."Uhm OK," she stared at me before turning to Enrico and said, "It was lovely chat
