Megan was so shocked. She thought she had very carefully impersonated Rebecca.
She thought she was so clever that she was able to make everyone believe the lie she concocted, but now it has caught up with her.
Tears streamed down her face while Nico squeezed hard on her neck.
“How did you know?” She breathed.
Nico released her abruptly.
Megan coughed and sputtered while she massaged her injured neck. It stings!
“This!” He said.
Nico pulled something from his breast pocket. It was a DNA test.
Bruno took a sample of Rebecca’s nails and hair to have it examined in Sicily, and this is what they found out.
The person right before him was not Rebecca Anderson but Megan Rand, who was supposed to be dead.
Nico was even a suspect in her death. Thankfully, he was released for lack of evidence.
The veins on the side of his neck t
Nico Bernardi’s body shook in anger.After he learned that Kara was on a date, he could not explain what he was feeling. He was exploding in anger, causing mayhem to his people.He did not like that she was dating another man.She told him she loved him. But what is she doing?Kara saw the familiar terrain around them and knew exactly where Nico intended to take her.“Stop the car!” She shouted.Nico turned his head sideways, but he did not stop the car like she asked him to. Instead of slowing down, the Rolls Royce accelerated, mak
“What did you do that for?” Evan tore his mouth away. He was glaring at Marmie, who looked like a satisfied cat, preening in the corner of the passenger seat. “Don't be such a hypocrite. You like it. You know you do.” She argued. “I don’t.” Evan denied. Marmie’s nostrils flared. She hated that he was making it appear that she was the only one who enjoyed the kiss. “Then, why didn’t you push me? Why did you respond? I felt your tongue glide into my lips and delved inside, exploring.” She pointed out. Anyone would have been scandalized by Marmie’s claims, but not Evan. He scoffed. “I am a gentleman.”Now, it was Marmie’s turn to scoff. “Gentleman my a*s. If you were a gentleman, you shouldn’t snob me every time we meet and make me feel s*it! You know I like you. But you treat me like crap.” “Because that is the best way to treat pesky women like you. You wouldn’t stop with a no.”Marmie nodded. She was breathing hard. But she was tired of arguing with him. She alrea
Kara groggily opened her eyes, disoriented at first. But when she saw the white ceilings and walls and her nostrils were filled with the familiar antiseptic smell of the hospital, she relaxed. A doctor came in. He was the same doctor who treated her at the emergency room earlier. He smiled at her. “Hello, Ms. Baxter. How are you feeling?” Kara flexed her hands and her legs, trying their weight. “Okay, I guess.” “Good.” the doctor smiled. “Do you remember what happened earlier/?” The doctor prodded. Kara tried to remember her last memory. She was at the emergency room with Nico Bernardi, and she had given specific instructions for the doctors not to allow Nico to come near her. “What happened to the man who accompanied me?” The doctor smiled. “We heard your plea. You do not want to be near him, and so we kept you hidden from him.”It was Kara’s turn to frown. She does not understand why she has a bad feeling about the man before her. Call it intuitive thinking. “Where
At the last minute, Kara suddenly changed her mind and canceled the call. She stared at the telephone before putting the handset back in its cradle. Nico is already happy. She should not confuse him any more. He loved Rebecca for years. She knew that she could not compete with Rebecca. What makes her think that Nico would choose her now? Even if her pregnancy would push through, it does not guarantee that he would change his mind about her. It would be pointless to bother Nico with something that won’t happen in the future. The baby will be gone.Kara sighed. The doctor came in and saw her looking out into space. “Are you alright?”Kara fixed the expression on her face, smiling wanly at the director, and said, “Can I go home now?” Aside from the hospital fees for this confinement, she had to think about her upcoming surgery. She needed to save money. “Do you have anyone to call to take care of your discharge papers?” Dr. James asked. He looked so kind and concerned, Ka
Kara woke up feeling rested. She yawned and stretched her arms and legs, belatedly noticing that a comforter covered her body.Her eyes wandered around, surprised when she saw Marco Bonacci sprawled on the one-seater couch adjacent to her.Guiltily, she sat upright.She did not intend to sleep on him. Such a lousy host.The sudden movement made Kara’s stomach feel queasy. Her world started to spin, and her stomach lurched. She dashed to the bathroom in haste.She ran, trying to hold back until she reached the bathroom.On the other hand, Marco, being a light sleeper, stirred when he felt her move. He sat upright like Kara and fixed Kara’s retreating figure with his bleary eyes.He noticed she was clutching her stomach.Marco Bonacci followed her in alarm. Kara just took off without warning.When he found her, Kara was sitting on the tiled floor of th
“Kara, are you alright?” Nico’s voice came from the outside. He was checking on her.He knocked on the door when she did not respond, so Kara had to reply to keep him out. “I am fine.” She told him, glad her voice sounded alright to her ears.She got up from the floor, washed her face, and patted it dry before coming out of the bathroom.During that time, she heard her doorbell ring a few times. She remembered Marco, who bought her food. In her eagerness, Kara almost ran to the door to get her food, but the food bag lay on the floor, its contents scattered.Tears smarted from her eyes, coupled with the rumblings of her stomach, and everything became chaotic in her heart.A wail erupted from her throat. Her food!Ironically, the culprit or culprits for destroying her food was out of sight but she could hear grunts and pants
Evan worked fast.He quickly located Dr. James and snatched him away.Dr. James just got out of his car outside his residence when a man walked up to him.He did not think much of it. He closed the door of his car and faced the man.The man, though tall, looked ordinary. He also looked lost.He approached the man, ready to help, when the man clobbered him, put a sack over his head, and carried him away.He was surprised at the sudden attack. His head ached at the hit.
“How long do you think it would take him before he comes back with my food, Laura?” Kara asked the elderly nurse Nico hired to care for her while she was in the hospital.She was growing impatient due to anticipation. She had been drooling over those foods since yesterday. The nurse shook her head and looked at the time. “It was just over five minutes since Mr. Bernardi left the suite. Even though the nearest fast food is just in the lobby, it would take him at least ten to fifteen minutes to get back here.”“Has it only been five minutes? It feels ages ago.” Kara grumbled, caressing her stomach.Last night, she could have satisfied her craving if Nico did not show up and started a fight with Marco. Their squabble cost her her food.“I am so hungry. I could eat a horse.” She declared, and the nurse smiled fondly at her.“When a woman is p
