Javier’s PovI went over to my wine cellar and took out a bottle of my regular alcohol and a wine glass. Placing them on my desk, I poured some into my wine glass which I gulped down at once. It's been two hours since Dr. Montes came and took the blood sample of Victoria’s baby for a DNA test. Should the result turn out to be true, what should I do? How am I going to react to this sudden news?No. It can't be true. I know that I was drunk that night, but I'm almost certain I didn't touch Victoria. My train of thoughts was interrupted by a light knock at the door before it opened. I turned to see Daniella come in. She carried with her a tray containing a teapot set.

Javier's PovLeaving the dinner table, I made my way upstairs to my study to prepare for a meeting I'll be having with some new investors from England.I really don't know what's Victoria’s deal? What's she trying to do, impress me? I overheard Daniella and her making a fuss about who should be the one to call me down for breakfast. I was surprised when Daniella seemed offended by it and addressed me her husband. She had said that this marriage was only on paper, then why did she boldly address me as her husband?To be honest and for some strange reason, I liked the way she claimed me as her husband.
