Weeks later

Thersa paced back and forth, gripping the envelope tightly in her hands.

“I hope… this can at least buy me time,” she whispered, her heart racing faster with each step.

Suddenly BANG! the door slammed open.

Her heartbeat skipped.

The envelope slipped from her hands and dropped to the floor as she stumbled back in shock. Her breath caught in her throat.

“What’s going on?” Mondragon’s voice echoed as he stepped in, sharp and heavy.

His eyes locked on her...narrowed and searching. He walked forward slowly.

Then, without breaking eye contact, he bent down and picked up the envelope from the floor.

“What is this, babu?” he asked quietly, almost too calm.

He raised the envelope up between them, watching her face closely.

Then, without waiting for her reply, he brought it down and started opening it.

Thersa stood frozen, her lips slightly parted, watching helplessly as he slowly tore open the envelope. The room felt still....too still.

Mondragon pulled out the single folded sheet

    Nobody does it like the Mondragons..." Mr Leo muttered as he paced to Diego’s side to congratulate him for the fifth time that evening.Mr Mon let out a light chuckle “You say that every time, Leo.”“And every time, you prove me right,” Mr. Leo grinned, giving him a firm pat on the back. “This wasn’t just an announcement.....it was something more historical, I just witnessed history.”….………….Ruby gasped again. “She looks so happy. Look at the way he’s holding her, like a real man”“Enough.” Rafael’s voice cut through the room, sharp and cold.Ruby looked up, startled.He didn’t say another word.Just turned and walked away.….………………………........................................ Mon’s eyes turned to Thersa.“She made it history,” he said quietly, a small smile tugged at the corner of his lips.Mrs. Camilla lingered where the host had last interviewed her, regal in her white gown. Across the hall she spotted Mom. Monica one of her fellowship woman moving around taking in the moment.“Mo

    “I should have known that day at the feast,” the oval head Mr. K.S. Smith said with a hearty laugh as he met Mr. Mondragon at the entrance.Both men embraced tightly.“Haha! I still remember the knowing look you gave me K,” Mr. Leo added, chuckling.The two gentlemen were then led inside the celebration hall and the sight stopped them in their tracks.As the doors opened, a soft golden light spilled into the hallway. Inside, the room shimmered like magic.White roses hung from the ceiling, floating like soft clouds.A wall of blue and blue balloons framed a glowing sign :The Mon Legacy Grows - A New Heir Is Coming.Golden chairs lined the long glass table, topped with crystal vases and baby-themed centrepieces. A soft melody played in the background ....warm, soothing, full of joy.In the center of it, all stood a cake shaped like a cradle, covered in tiny pearls.Everywhere looked white....from the guests' outfits to the glowing decor.Cameras flashed from every corner.

    “Mrs. Mon,” a woman's voice crackled through the phone. “It’s been almost two weeks since our last post on the site. We haven’t gotten any orders. No new traffic. If this keeps up…” Thersa closed her eyes, already feeling her pulse rise...“…things might flip back,” the woman continued, “just like it did a few years ago. I know you’ve been busy but..Thersa let out a long, heavy sigh, struggling to steady her breathing. “How about we open up the shop again?”“Are you sure?” the woman asked, confused.“Honestly...” Thersa’s shoulders sagged as she sat on the edge of the sofa, staring blankly at the floor. “I’m so lost right now. I don’t know what else to do. I’m just trying to pick myself back up, but” She paused, gathering the little strength she had left. “Let’s open it for a while. See how it goes.”The woman on the other end was silent for a moment. “Sure, sure, ma’am. Take your time. Let me know what you decide.”Thersa nodded, even though the woman couldn’t see it. “I will. I’ll

    “So like I was saying, we need to come up with something more modern this season,” the textile expert said as she walked alongside Thersa into the boutique that specialized in high end fabrics.Thersa kept her sketchpad tucked under her arm, her gaze drifting across shelves filled with rolls of fabric...silk, chiffon, organza, linen...all neatly arranged and inviting.“There are a few more textures we can develop,” the expert continued. “Something with movement but still bold enough to make a statement.”Thersa nodded quietly. “I want something different. Soft, but not fragile. There’s strength in grace...we just need to show it.”The expert paused by a rack. “This one,” she said, pulling out a muted rose-toned silk blend. “It’s new. We haven’t tested it on structured pieces yet, but it has potential.”Thersa ran her fingers across the material, thoughtful. “It’s smooth. Breathable. Maybe layered with mesh or net… but only at the hem.”“Interesting,” the expert replied “You’ve already

    Police officers swarmed the property, the area cordoned off with bright yellow "Crime Scene - Do Not Cross" tape fluttering in the wind. Four maids stood huddled together on the front lawn, weeping uncontrollably as uniformed officers tried to maintain order.Several onlookers had gathered near the gates but were being held back by stern-faced officers making sure to make everything secure.A sleek black car screeched to a halt in front of the house.The moment it stopped, Rafael jumped out, his jaw clenched, eyes scanning the chaos in front of him. Uncle Robert followed closely behind, breathless as he tried to keep up.Rafael ignored the shouting officers who tried to stop him as he approached the tape. "What the hell happened here?" Rafael demanded with a low but dangerous voice.A police officer stepped forward, hands on his waist. “He was found dead in his study. Single gunshot to the forehead. No sign of forced entry. We’re still investigating.”“Damn it,” Rafael muttered under

    Inside Mr Diego Mondragon’s mansionThey sat quietly at the table as they had their breakfast. Not a single word was spoken.Mr. Mondragon looked serious as he ate. The quiet clinking of silverware was the only sound you would hear. Several maids stood around the dining table, still as statues, while two guards remained posted by the entrance.Suddenly, another guard rushed forward. He bowed slightly and said, “Good morning, Mr. Mondragon. You have a visitor.”Mr. Mondragon didn’t even look up. “Who dares to visit me at this hour of my peaceful moment?” Before the guard could answer, the sound of polished shoes echoed across the marble floor.A tall, sharply dressed man entered the room. His charcoal suit was tailored to perfection, and a faint scent of expensive cologne trailed behind him.“Now, now, Diego… is that any way to greet an old friend?” the man said, flashing a charming smile.Mr. Mondragon looked up immediately, his eyes widening with pleasant surprise. “Alonso Rivera,” h

    One of the maids had unknowingly locked the storage room door, not realising anyone was still inside.Thersa crossed her arms, pacing the small space. The silence was thick as her heart beat heavily.“Why do you keep following me around?” she finally snapped, voice edged with frustration.Rafael leaned against the shelves, calm as ever. He didn’t answer...he just smiled.“What is wrong with you?!” Thersa continued, her voice rising. “You keep smiling for no reason... Do you even understand we’ve been locked in here for over thirty minutes now?”Rafael let out a quiet chuckle.Thersa stormed toward him, her eyes flaring. “What’s so funny, huh?”He tilted his head slightly, meeting her gaze with warmth. “You look extremely beautiful when you’re angry.”Thersa paused.Her eyes widened, completely caught off guard. Rafael’s smile deepened, his dimple showing clearly now.Thersa blinked, visibly thrown off. For a moment, she forgot she was supposed to be mad.“You… must be really bored,” sh

    The elegant doors swung open and one by one they stepped into the hall.Thersa moved ahead, with a few maids walking quietly behind her, ready to help for the night.At the entrance, Thersa stood poised, her hands gently clasped in front of her, with a soft smile. A few maids stood respectfully behind her."Mrs. Mondragon, it’s lovely to see you again," one of the older businessmen greeted warmly.Thersa nodded politely. "You’re all welcome. Please, come inside."Just as she turned to lead the way, Rafael walked in through the side door. His eyes caught hers immediately. For a moment, everything else seemed to pause……the lights, the soft chatter, the sound of music.Their eyes held each other’s.But Thersa quickly looked away, regaining her composure. She stepped forward."This way, please," she said in a calm voice.The guests were ushered into the reception hall, where soft music played and drinks were already flowing….. They moved straight to the long, grand table set up at the cen
