HOW DID ADRIANA FIND OUT?

Diego's POV I stared at Miguel, really seeing him for the first time in years. The smile, the laughter, the camaraderie with our father —it was the real him. He didn't need to wear a mask to hide his true nature.Rage, raw and untamed, surged through me. I didn't know what to do about the mess I had created. I lunged at Marco, grabbing him by the collar, pulling him from where he stood beside my father.“You!” I roared, my voice filled with fury I didn't know I possessed. “After all these years, you are still trying to kill me? You want to make sure I die at all costs?”My father approached me and tried to push me away from Miguel. “Enough, Diego! You caused this to happen to you.”I paused, looking at my dad and still grabbing Miguel’s collar. “I caused this? You were in on all his plans all this time?”“We had to kill you at all costs,” my father said.I glared at Miguel and he chuckled, his eyes a flicker of something dangerous. “You've killed Mr Javier right? What are you gonna

SHE WANTED ME; I COULD TELL

Diego's POV I gazed towards the window and darkness had covered everywhere. I dropped the bottle of wine I held on the floor beside me and stood up from the sofa. I reeked of alcohol and it was evident.As I tried to move, I staggered back, holding the sofa for support. Then, I staggered to the door and left the room.As I strolled in the passageway, I reached Adriana's room door and stopped. I couldn't hear any sound coming from the room. “Has she slept?” I wondered.I slowly opened her room door and entered inside. She was crouched on the bed, her knees drawn up to her chest and her face buried on her knees. I strode to her and stood there, listening to her whimperings and silent sobs. “Adriana,” I called. She quickly raised her head and looked at me. Her eyes were red and swollen from excessive crying and she was worn out.Before I could say another word, she stood and hugged me tightly. Her sobs increased and tears began to roll down her eyes and onto my shoulder.My heart skip

DIEGO KILLED MY FATHER?

Adriana's POV {One Month Later}I paced about in the living room, rubbing my hands together and constantly glancing towards the staircase. The black slim gown I wore swept the floor as I paced. Today was my father's burial and also the day I finally got to stay beside Diego for a long time.Ever since the night we slept together, Diego had been distant towards me. He barely talked to me or look at me. Whenever he would come home and see me in the living room, he would walk right past me, without a word.Whenever is was time for dinner and he came and saw me there, he would either eat silently or instruct the servant to bring his food to his room; even if he didn't like eating in his room.I glanced towards the stairs again and saw Diego descending. He wore a black suit and fixed his hair neatly. He looked handsome and I couldn't look away.He glanced at me but quickly averted his eyes. “Umm…. Diego, I need to tell you something important,” I said as he was about to leave the house.

I AM CARRYING DIEGO'S CHILD

Adriana's POV As I stumbled back, Juan held me from falling. I didn't believe what Miguel said. I didn't want to. It wasn't true.I stared at Diego, expecting him to say something. He stood, glaring at Miguel.“Ask him for yourself. He will tell you if I'm lying or not.”“Diego, what is he saying? Tell us,” Camilia said. I went to closer to Diego. “What is he saying, Diego. I know it's a lie, right?”“It's not a lie, Mrs. If he doesn't want to talk, ask Luis.”I looked at Luis and went to him. “Luis, please what is he saying? Do you know about what he just said? Both Luis and Diego didn't speak. They just looked at me, their eyes filled with regrets.“Just tell me, don't keep shut. I want to know,” I shouted, my voice echoing off the walls.“Diego, what is he saying?” I asked again, holding his hand.Diego looked at me and embraced me. “It was a mistake, Adriana. I didn't mean to do it, it was my fault,” he said. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I pulled myself away from his

A PREGNANCY STRIP

Diego's POV A soft knock came at my door, then it creaked open. Luis stepped in, his face etched with worry. I glanced at him and looked away, sighing.“Diego,” he called.“Just leave, Luis. Leave me.”Luis hadn't abandoned me, the only one who tried to coax me into the daylight. But I wasn't still alright.“How long do you intend to lie down on the bed, doing nothing?”I heaved.“Come on, Diego,” he said, his voice gentle. “You can't be like this forever.”I grunted, turning my head away. The thought of feigning normalcy was exhausting.“Don't let guilt eat you up. Snap out of it, man.”“Go away. I want to be alone.”“For real, you didn't mean for it to happen,” Luis said. “You were betrayed and deceived by your family.” “Have you found them? Antonio and Miguel?”Luis shook his head. “I haven't. They went under the radar again.”I grunted again, louder than before.“Don't worry. I'll find them within three days.”“Whatever, just leave. I don't want to talk,” I said.There was a bri

DIEGO'S STEP BROTHER

Diego's POV “When I got married? What happened then?” I asked.“Your father called me to his house that week and…..“Boss, I've found out where they are,” Ignacio entered my office and said.I shot up from my chair and followed Ignacio out the door, heading for the other room. When I got there, he faced his laptop to me, pointing at the screen.“Your father's phone was deactivated but he activated it moments ago,” he said. “The location was pinged to Russia, so I hacked the cams around the streets in Russia and spotted them.“So, where are they staying?” “They are staying in Mr Antoskiv’s place.”I tilted my head, squinting my eyes.“Mr Antiskiv? You mean…. the leader of Antoskiv syndicate?” Luis asked.Ignacio nodded. I stared at the screen, squinting my eyes at the picture of Antoskiv.“Antoskiv, my rival?” “Yes, Diego. He's tried to kill you so many times before,” Luis said.“Why did my father go there? He knows that Antoskiv is our rival.”“He and Miguel has joined hands with A

IT'S TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING

Adriana's POV {Six months later}Six months had passed since I decided to leave Diego and take care of my unborn child alone. My hand instinctively went to the gentle swell of my stomach, a testament to the passage of time, to the new life flourishing within me.It was so evident now, a firm curve beneath the soft fabric of my dress, a vivid reminder of everything that had irrevocably changed.I sat down on the bed in my room, glancing at my protruding stomach. Just then, it kicked. The baby kicked for the sixth time this week.I placed my hand on my stomach, feeling the baby's movements in me.“Adriana, are you ready? Come on, it's time to go.” Juan's voice echoed near my door in the hallway.“I'll be down soon,” I said. Juan was a constant, steady presence, a gentle hand always ready to offer support, a calming voice always there to soothe me if I was in pain.He'd learned my cravings before I even voiced them, anticipated my fatigue and tried to soothe my belly whenever it ached

DON'T GO THROUGH WITH THE DIVORCE

Adriana's POV The drive home was quiet. Juan was a reassuring presence near me, constantly glancing at the rear view mirror to check if I was okay.My marriage to Diego had been an arranged disaster, a crumbling edifice I had clung to even as it fell apart. It was always in ruins but now, it is dead, destroyed. I had consciously avoided seeing him for months and today, he showed up.When we were settled in the living room of our house, Juan handed me a glass of water to drink.“Don't think about that, Adri,” he said. “I don't want you stressing both yourself and your child.”I gave him the glass back and he placed it on the table that was placed at the centre of the living room. Slowly, I placed my hand on my belly and caressed it gently.“Is it possible for me to divorce Diego?”Luis looked at me, his brows furrowed.I sighed. “I don't want Diego to be part of my child's life. I don't want him to claim my child from me.”Luis held my hand. “Don't think rationally. You need to consi

MARIANA WAS LINGERING AROUND ADRIANA

Diego's POV I strode into the house, shutting the door of the living room. Without taking off my shoes, I collapsed on the couch, heaving.Adriana had changed; every bit of her had changed. She had become extremely beautiful and she didn't look like the timid girl I got married to. Her pregnancy had become evident and she was looking healthy.When I looked at her, she didn't seem excited to see me; not one bit. Instead, I could still see the hurt and pain in her eyes as she talked to me.I have missed her since the day she left. I still feel guilty till today and I know it won't be easy for her to forgive me. I hated the fact that Juan took care of her very well but there was nothing I could do. At least she and our unborn baby were doing well and I was happy to see that.She made it clear that she didn't want me to be part of our child's life. I didn't care. It was my child too and I would make sure that I'm part of his life and he knows I'm his father.A rattle at the front door p

I DIDN'T KNOW SHE LOVED ME

Diego's POV I parked my Range Rover in front of the Cruz gate and got down. I strode inside the gate, heading for the front door.When I reached the door, two burly men stopped me, their hands hovering around the guns in their pants holsters.“Don't touch me and there won't be bloodshed here,” I said. “I'm here to see Juan.”They exchanged glances and one of the men went inside. After a few seconds, he came out with Juan following behind.I strode into the living room and sat down on a single seat couch, scanning the house. My eyes scanned the house, checking if I would see Adriana anywhere. It was in vain.“You shouldn't be here,” Luis said. “You're not supposed to be here.”“I know that, very well. I came here for an important matter.”Juan sighed and looked towards the staircase before settling down on the next couch.“Go ahead. Talk,” he said.“Adriana is in danger. She is being watched.”Luis looked intently at me, his brows furrowed. “What are you saying? I don't get.”“I don't
