Chapter Three Hundred And Fifty-FiveFred lived in a modest part of town where each house had their own well trimmed lawn and the streets were clean.Well trimmed shrubs and trees lined the road and there were no waste bins and children running around unsupervised in the street.The street was quiet for that time of the day as well, which made Zaire wonder of they were all working class people in the area and they had obviously gone to work.Fred will not go to work as well, will he?Zaire was not bothered but he do hope that the man whom Maya had referred him to was worth it .Otherwise she would be losing her life as well as the damn Fred.But from all indication, Fred will not be able to leave the house if he was taking care of Romero Was he some kind of doctor? Or rather, had he taken Romero to some kind of hospital?But that was impossible.His men had contacted most of the hospitals in the area, but there was no mention of anyone coming to the hospital for treatment with that
Chapter Three Hundred And Fifty-FourMaya sat beside Zaire, nodding her head vigorously to his question.She had ben sitting quietly in the car when it was parked at the curb. She had seen everything that had happened and had heard everything that the man in the beige coat had said.That man was not a reporter but just an actor, paid by Zaire to act like a reporter and instigate the rumors against Lana Fernandez. Maya thought Zaire's counter was quite smart, and she was excited to see how this was going to play out.When Zaire had insisted on her coming along to Oakcrest, Maya had thought that it was probably one of his tricks. He was probably going to get rid of her, over there in Oakcrest and maybe dispose of her body.Because there was absolutely no reason for him not to.Zaire had kept her alive because he felt that in one way or the other, she knew where Damien was.He had instructed her that day, seven days ago, in the meeting place to take him immediately to where Damien was.
Chapter Three Hundred And Fifty-ThreeLana almost ran into the house as she was so eager to see her daughter.There was no doubt that Adrian was not in the house. If he had been, he would have definitely came out when all the shooting started.He must be in his way to O'Hares by now. A pang of sadness hit Lana as she realized this. She had so much wanted to see Adrian before he left.She wanted him to explain things clearly to her concerning the doctor's conference.She wanted to know if it was something worth waiting for, so she would not have her hopes dated again. She wanted to know if it with be better to go to the conference with Adrian, instead of sitting at home, twiding her thumbs aimlessly.But she shook that thought away from her head. Adrian would definitely not like that.Oh, how wonderful it would be to have Damien return home to a healthy Arielle. That was everything she ever wanted concerning a peaceful life.A healthy child, and her lover, alive and well by her side "
Chapter Three Hundred And Fifty-TwoEveryone shook their head as Vera seemed unstoppable.But what she had said would pose a problem for Lana though. Considering everything that Lana was going through right now in the hands of the media, it would even be more scandalous if something like this gets out.Angry mobs from the country might storm the Romero Villa if she was not careful.However, Lana rolled her eyes at Vera's threat, "Get her out of here," she motioned to the body guards and turned to walk into the house. Then, she stopped.Turning back with a sly smile to Vera's, she uttered, "Oh, and Vera, that deed was just fake," she cooed,"you didn't think that I'd give you the real deed to the house so you can look it over, right? I know your underhanded ways, Vera."Vera looked up at her in horror, then her face twisted with rage.She jad been deceived by this red haired whore once more.Shw was more surprised that Lana was not moved by her threat of going to the media.Is it that s
Chapter Three Hundred And Fifty-One The guards took Vera outside the house and threw her to the grassy patch on the outside.They threw her down in a not so gentle way, and Vera winced as her behind hit the ground hard.She looked up at the men who had thrown her down. They had gone behind Lana, and now stood guard. Vera was seethiing in every part of her body, as she glared at Lana, hatred practically dropping from her eyes.She stood up with difficult, holding on to her aching hips. Her dress was wrinkled by now from the fall, and she had lost one of her shoes.She looked awful and Lana would have pitied her, had she not been so vile with her words earlier, attacking even an innocent child.Vera scoffed as she stood up, "Why do I have to care about that bastard child?!" She reiterated with full force, making everyone around shake their heads in disappointment.Some of the maids wished that Vera would just shut up to avoid getting more pushed by Lana, but a few were in Vera's side.
Chapter Three Hundred And FiftyVera stepped backwards quickly, like she did not like to be gazing so directly into Lana's face."That's impossible!" She scowled, screaming in an high-pitched voice, "Romero Villa...Yours?! Hah! Nothing of Romero would ever belong to you! Nothing!"She wagged her finger in Lana's face, even though Lana remained silent a slight smirk on her face."As long as I am alive, Lana, I will not let you or your bastard child take anything away from Romero. Never!"Lana took a deep breath as her eyes twitched again, more rapidly this time. She had specifically warned Vera before to not bring Arielle into any of this but the older woman is just too obnoxious, and refused to use her common sense.She had known that Vera had never truly liked her or trusted her, when she came back three years ago without Damien.Vera had only been lenient with her because of Damien's child, Arielle which Lana bore.She did not know that Lana was aware of the many spies planted in th
