Nina sat on one of the expensive cushions in the Hidalgo empire as she waited for Lady Constanza to come downstairs.

She had been told by the servants to wait patiently as she would soon join her in the waiting room.

In her hand was a glass of water which had been offered to her by one of the servants. Her hands trembled around the glassware, her mind preoccupied with thoughts about her pregnancy and how Santiago would react to the news about it.

She had been expecting a call or a message from him about it, but he had been silent. She couldn’t reach out to him and that was because he was with Renata.

She was going to have a child for him.

For her best friend's husband.

Nina had it all. The money. The fame. The connections.

But Lady Constanza has made her a pawn in her dubious games, just to make sure Renata doesn’t get a dime from the shares of the Hidalgo empire when she eventually gives them an heir.

Footsteps echoed from upstairs. Tilting her head, she could see Lady Constanza maki

    Domingo leaned over the neatly polished table of the suite. His eyes were still focused on the door Renata had left through.She was on medication… She is trying to get pregnant for her husband, Santiago.Domingo ran his fingers through his hair, both in defeat and confusion.He wasn’t able to convince her not to. Her marriage was a wreck, and even though he had been an active villain in her life and marriage, he knew Renata was making a huge mistake.He tilted his head to look at his phone, and so many thoughts ran through his mind. First, he was tempted to call Renata or even send her a text so she would reconsider her decision, but it wasn’t going to yield anything. He knew he could only convince Renata physically… by looking in her eyes and making sure she trusts him.He decided to call Nina. “You didn’t tell me you were pregnant,” he growled as his grip on the mobile phone tightened.“Who told you?” She sounded like she had just woken up from a deep sleep.“The last person who

    Renata had ignored Domingo’s calls for days. Each time his name flashed across her phone screen, she pressed decline. She told herself she wouldn’t give in again. Did she love Domingo?Hell yes!She does, but their affair was forbidden and shouldn’t be heard of.But when the call came again that morning, something inside her weakened. Maybe it was the exhaustion from pretending nothing had happened between them back in the countryside. Maybe it was the restless questions in her mind… questions that refused to be silenced. Before she realized what she was doing, she pressed the green button.“Renata,” his deep voice pierced through the speaker, calm and steady as if he had been expecting her to answer all along.She didn’t reply immediately. Her lips trembled, and she held her breath, gripping the phone too tightly.“I want to see you,” he said simply. “My suite. I’ll send you the address.”Her heart skipped. She almost refused again. But curiosity, anger, and fear tangled inside her

    “Wendy?” Renata had not turned to see who it was, but with the voice… She knew it was Wendy Sinclair. “I knew you would come, Ree.” Wendy took a drag of another smoke before puffing it into Renata’s face.“What’s the meaning of this?” Renata threw the brown envelope at her.Wendy ignored her. She went on to throw the cigar in her hand on the floor and stomped on it.She stooped down to gather the photos, stared at them for a while, and smiled mischievously.“Are you coming in or what?” She rolled her eyes at Renata who wasn’t in the least interested in the games she was about to play.“I need to know why you did what you did,” Renata snapped.Wendy smiled, she tapped the photos on her palm as her eyes ran through Renata’s face. “You know… your husband, Santiago is very popular around here. You wouldn’t want my invisible neighbours knowing you are screwing his father.”“Fuck you, Wendy.” She snorted. She almost pushed Wendy out of the way as she made her way into the house.“You’re w

    The doorbell rang for the third time, but Renata was in the room, struggling with the strap of her handbag.“Coming,” she yelled, her hand searching the bed for any valuable items before she eventually left for the hospital for her appointed checkup.The bell rang again, this time making her let out a deep sigh. She threw her bag on the bed and raced down the steps leading to the living room door.“Who might it be?” Her hand held the doorknob and she turned it slowly.“Good day, madam,” the young man standing before her, dressed in a blue shirt and black pants smiled at her. He was from the nearby dispatch company, which was popular in the locality.He stretched out a brown envelope to her, she hesitated for a while, her eyes assessing the young man and wondering what might be inside the envelope.She eventually took the envelope from him but she turned it to search for a name written on it, but she saw nothing.“Who is this from?” She arched a brow as she asked.“Documents like this

    “What do you want?” Renata’s voice cracked as she bit her lips so hard that she could taste the metallic taste of blood on her tongue.Domingo took a few steps forward, his hands reaching for her shoulders but she staggered backwards, her weak legs almost failing her.“You know what I want, Natty.” He smiled as he slipped his hands into the pockets of his shorts.Renata cleared her throat and shook her head. “No. I don’t.”Domingo sighed as he nodded, but the smile at the corner of his lips didn’t leave. “I made it clear that I want you… at least once every week. Did you forget so soon?”“You can’t want me,” she shook her head.“Why? I’ve had you before you married off to that good-for-nothing thing you call your husband. So why can’t I keep having you?” He asked.“That is my husband and I’ll suggest you watch that tongue of yours,” she warned with her fists tightened beside her.“Renata, we know you aren’t happy in that marriage. Are you truly happy being with Santiago? Have you ever
