It wasn't even the tenth time.Her face should be pasted beside the definition of bad mom in the dictionary."Anita, cancel all my evening appointments and the dinner meeting with Martinez," She yelled, then stabbed the button for the underground garage.The elevator whisked her down and a moment later, she was tearing out
"I'm not suicidal," Estella informed him.He shot her a suspicious look but seemed to accept her words. He let her go almost reluctantly and set her to her feet.She took in the man wryly. He had dark gold hair that had been pushed back from his forehead, dark brown eyes and angular facial features. He was also tall and well built.He was a striking man, but to Estella, he paled beside the memory of Diego. The thought made her feel irritated with herself."Are you heading home?" He asked, "I can give you a ride.""No, thank you."He raised a brow at her, "It's about to rain and I don't feel right about leaving you out here."Proving his words, lightning struck at that moment, and she noticed that the sky had gone dark and heavy.She ran an unsteady hand through her dark hair, considering her options and coming to the conclusion that she didn't have any."I don't even know you," Estella finally replied with a sigh.His mouth curled up into a smile, "I'm Marco. What's your name?""Estel
"Can I get one ticket going out of the city?" Estella asked the ticket seller.It hadn't taken her long to pack up her few belongings and get a cab to the bus station, the thick envelope Blyse had given her seeming to burn a hole in her purse."The only available seat is on a bus to Texas," he shrugged, "I don't see what a pretty, young thing like yourself would want there."She ignored his disgusting comment, "I'll take it.""Are you sure?" He raised one brow, "Are you sure you'd rather not stay in New York. I have a spare bedroom but my bed is big enough for the two of us."She kept her expression blank to hide the disgust his words had elicited in her. The man was fat, balding and had small, beady eyes, the complete opposite of Mr. El Diablo.Not that she was in the market for someone like him. She most definitely wasn't attracted to her former boss. In fact, she was glad to be finally ridding herself of him."No thanks," she told the man with a small smile."Your loss," he said.H
"Have you heard?" One of the maids who Estella was on friendly terms with rushed up to her as soon as she stepped into the house the next morning."Heard what?" She asked impatiently, not ready to start hearing some gossip that didn't concern her so early in the morning, ""Seriously?" the girl rolled her eyes, "Do you live under a rock or something?"Estella ignored her, looking around the house and noticing new things like the workmen that were repainting the wood of the staircase rails."What are they doing?" She asked in confusion."They're preparing for the party tonight.""What party?""Didn't you get the broadcast message? Mr. El Diablo is throwing a party to celebrate miss Blyse's pregnancy."Her head swam and she immediately felt dizzy. Blyse was pregnant?"Maybe she'd finally be laid up in bed and she won't be able to torture you anymore," the girl laughed.She pasted on a smile, "Yeah, right."The girl giggled and flounced off, leaving Estella to make her way unsteadily to
