Alright, I need to sit and think this clearly before I make a fool of myself. “Mr. Roberts, unlike you, I actually have things to deal with, so allow me to bid you a good day.”

“Wow. I see you’ve grown some attitude.”

“Mr. Roberts—”

“Rodrigo is fine. And yes, I like this new identity of yours, Valentina. You thought I was too stupid to figure it out, didn’t you?”

“I’m not going to waste another second. Have a good day.”

And without wasting another breath, I cut the call and finally allowed myself to breathe. I had to hold back while I was on the phone—I refused to give Rodrigo the satisfaction of knowing he scared me.

“Shit,” I cursed, still holding my breath. My back was against the wall, but as soon as I heard the door close, I stood upright and, with my back to Tina, asked calmly, “Is Mr. Puckett ready?”

“He is, ma’am.”

“Good. Check him out. I’ll wait in the car.”

I approached the elevator with a straight face, kept it that way all the way down, and only let it drop once we reached

    GEORGIA, ATLANTAA A L I Y A HI'm so damn tired; I'm drained and exhausted. My life is slipping away in my eyes. God, how did I have it all and now suddenly just lose it? I had so much power over Rodrigo… my son… my dad, even the damn bitch herself, Valeria.Even after dumping them for six years and returning, they still chose me. But now, nothing I do seems to work. Rodrigo seem to be ahead of me all the time.“Smoking is not good for the baby.”“Oh, shut up, Clara!” I raised my voice at my slow assistant as I puffed on my cigarette, now wishing I was really pregnant and this would affect the baby. At least I would hurt Rodrigo.“Mrs Roberts—”“Oh, damn, Clara.” I lifted my dress and removed the fake belly, then threw it on the floor. She didn't seem to really know I was faking it all this time, as she looked surprised.“I… I'm sorry.”“Come here… yes, come.” I called her over, and she hesitated, and when she reached me, I evilly smiled and then took a last puff of my cigarette befo

    The words resonated in my mind for a moment. What my guard was saying was that the restaurant was bombed. Obviously nobody had ever survived such a thing before, so Valeria was dead. The mother of my daughter was dead.“How did you let this happen? Oh, don't answer that. I know you're calling me from the dead now, so put her on the phone.”“Sir?”“What's the matter? I asked to make sure she's safe, so if the restaurant was bombed, that means you also died, right?”“I'm sorry, sir.”"Don't be sorry; just put her on the phone. Let me speak to her.”“I'm afraid it's not possible, sir.”“I don't like jokes, okay? I asked that you stay close to her all the time. That means if she died there, then you also died.”“I'm sorry. I wasn't with her, sir, but I had someone watching her. They are the ones that gave me the update.”“But I asked you to watch her.”“Apologies, sir. Oh, it's him. Let me pick up.” He quickly put me on hold, and I switched the phone to my left hand and started removing t

    W A S H I N G T O N D.CR O D R I G OWe arrived here a few hours ago. Mom's friend, Mr. Steele, had guards pick us up from the airport and bring us straight to the White House. Right now I was getting ready. I had just taken a shower while everyone else was in the living area.I didn't want to stay here. I had to go back and figure out how to help Valeria, but I had to sleep today so I could help Parker get comfortable here. I know Valeria would prefer I do that.“Yes.” I said as someone knocked on the door. I was sharing the room with Anthony, while the three ladies slept in the other room. “Oh, Mr. President.”“Rodrigo, right?”“Y-yes.” I quickly fixed my tie and walked to greet him. I don't think I had been in the same room with him before. The man who runs billions of people.“Grant, please. Call me Grant.” He took my hand, shook it, and gave me a manly hug, clapping my back.“Mr. Steele said you were out?” It came out like a question. I was referring to the chief of staff, my m

    I remember when I was growing up, after being told I was a surrogate’s daughter, I always wondered who my mom was.If she was sweet, beautiful, you know, all those things. But I never thought she was a billionaire. Never imagined she was this. A skilled killer. Or a criminal, like Nona called her.I mean, sure, I thought she was just a broke woman since she did surrogacy. Most people who do that are desperate, broke ones. I thought maybe she was doing illegal things to survive, you know like drugs, but I never imagined she was this bad — especially killing her own parents.“Baby, I don't understand why we have to meet here,” she said as she pulled away, and I pulled a fake smile. Well, not entirely, as somehow, even with her being this, I was glad she was here. The hug felt motherly, and that I can't deny.“Yeah. Would you like a glass of water?” I asked, sitting down while she sat and folded her sleeves.“Oh no, I just came here to talk. Tell me, is she bothering you? I told you, bab

    Years ago, I would have easily broken down, having all these people talk crap and judge me without knowing the full story.Yes, I married Rodrigo and even fell in love with him when he was with my sister first, but can you blame me? I was forced to marry Rodrigo.He was my husband for years, and he was and is a very handsome man. Of course, any woman in my position would fall for him. Thus, I wasn't to blame for any of this.The host and Pablo both cleared their throats as if not knowing how to control the audience.“Are you going to shut this down or should we leave?” I questioned the host, and he looked awkward for a minute before he ordered silence.“We will have a turn for questions. For now, we would like to start the interview,” he told the audience, and it seemed to die down a little. “Ms. Wilson, I sincerely apologize.”“We understand. Can we just get on, please?” Pablo seemed to want to be out of here as well.“Of course. Alright, like we always do it, we have…” the host star

    The truck didn’t stop. It was still in front of us, the way it went right and left showed the driver was also trying to stop it.I looked at my window and realized we had come in the wrong side of the road, we were at fault, or let me say. Pablo was at fault.Parker…I thought of my baby, now that Rodrigo was in her life it was obvious my evil sister would be in hers too, and with what she and Madeline made me go through, I couldn’t even imagine what they would do to my baby.So, without thinking of the consequences, I took control, jumping on the wheel and turning the car so we could bump into one of the city light poles instead.And it worked. Although it made me hit my forehead against the car and caused me a little headache, it still did and saved our lives.“Holy fuck.” Pablo was breathing heavily as all cars stopped. People jumped out and came to our car and the truck driver’s as he had also moved from the road and forced stopped, which probably made him hit himself against the
