51. A Pendrive

~Esperanza's POV~ Three days, and I couldn't get the one thought out of my head. A thought or another nightmare, I have no idea, but it's going to break me, that much I'm certain. My father has multiple layers. Even more than a snake. I wish... Just once... Just once mom had listened to Grandpa and married the man he chose for her. Maybe we would've survived all this misery. Maybe, my mother would still be alive. She was left with nothing when she married my father. But still, she built a fortune in the next five years. And when my grandpa died, he left his years of hard work for her which made her a billionaire. I think my father knew what was going to happen. And he waited for the right time. Right time to take the money, business, and her life. But she flipped his world when she left everything for me. His perfect plan was ruined but our lives... I want to ask him why he betrayed us. Was there something concerning from which he couldn't move past, or

52. Sixty seconds

~Third Person's POV~ “No! No! No!!!” Esperanza’s painful scream tore out of her throat, echoing loudly in every corner of the mansion. “How could they do this?” Valentina whispered, pulling her close. Her arms tightened around Esperanza’s trembling body, but no matter how hard she tried, all her efforts to calm her best friend went in vain. Esperanza couldn’t look away. She couldn’t blink or move. The scene in front of her eyes had her frozen, tears slipping down one after another without her permission. It was Juliana and Evangelina, standing in the room that Esperanza thought belonged to her, with evil smiles and laughter coming out of their mouths. They were standing too close to Asher, who was crying loudly on the bed. His small chest was barely covered and his tiny hands were shaking as if he already knew something was wrong.Esperanza’s heart clenched painfully. Her eyes followed Evangelina's hands, making her heart skip a beat. "Don't..." Esperanza whispered

53. Reunion

~Third Person’s POV~ Esperanza had no idea how twenty-four hours passed. The doctor had to sedate her to prevent her from having constant panic attacks; she knew she was out for a long time, but she had no strength to fight or think even after waking up from a long, deep sleep. Her eyes were once again fixed on the ceiling. Drip in her hands and machines constantly beeping around her. Her face was pale. Though Valentina wiped all the tear stains from her face, the scars on her heart remain untouched. No words, no touch could bring the senses back in her mind. She was numb. Just like the day her baby was taken away from her. The world that she built with so many precautions, the measured steps she took to reach her baby, the decisions that she took to change her life... All fell apart in sixty seconds. "Her blood pressure is increasing!" The doctor said and hurried to her side. "Why?" Valentina asked, her voice shaking again. "Chronic stress..." He a

54. The Judge

~Third Person’s POV~ "Made one?" Mr Rafael asked. "Do you mean a fake one?" "Hell no..." Diego snorted. "I don't have to fake the reality." "I just... Recreated it," He proudly said. "Tell us all," His grandfather said. A proud smirk appeared on his face, and he started to zone. ***Flashback- Twenty hours ago.*** "Snap his legs if needed..." Diego barked orders on the call. "I don't fucking care how much blood he loses, but if he wants to live and his mother cares even a cent about him, she'll do what she's told." "But sir, what if she told Mendoza? Or hinted anything to them?" His men asked. "Then send his live video to her the same way they sent it," Diego said, his voice dangerously calm. "Listen," Diego caught his attention. "Bring her here, let her see him once, and then send Sasha with her. If she does anything behind Sasha's back, you know what you have to do." "Yes, sir." ***Three hours ago*** The celebration was going on in the Mendoza mansio

55. An angel

~Esperanza's POV~ "Hey, what is he doing?" Valentina whispered She tiptoed into the room, so quietly that even I couldn't hear her steps. "Still sleeping..." I smiled. He was still in my arms. Sleeping soundly, holding my tee tight as if he was scared of something. And he was scared. He was just a seven months old baby whom Juliana and Evangelina had terrorised since God knows when. He planted fear so deeply in his developing brain and heart that he couldn't let go of the protection he was getting, even in deep sleep. I couldn't let him sleep on the bed. Even beside me. I fear that if I put a distance of even an inch between us, he will once again go far away from me. Disappear in the air like he was never there with me. I can't let that happen. He was always mine. Grown in my body, and born out of my womb... He has always been mine since the beginning. I wasn't given a chance to be his mother before, but now... I'll give him all the love, protection, an

56. A stranger

~Esperanza's POV~ "We should tell Mr Rowland..." Marie said. I shook my head. Diego has done enough for me. More than enough. He has been fighting his own battles already, but ever since I walked into his life, his life has become all about me. I should be capable enough of handling these pests at least on a call. Diego doesn't have to protect me from anything on the call. My phone rang for the third time, and I tightened my grip on Asher. No matter what he says, my son isn't going back to him. I picked up the call and waited for him to say something, but he stayed silent. I was about to disconnect the call, but I heard him take a deep, heavy breath. "Esperanza..." Hearing my name from his mouth sounds like an insult. "Honey... He is... Our baby..." Honey? Our baby? Hell no! "He is my baby..." I plainly answered. "Hey... Honey, no. He is ours..." He said heavily. "I was a fool to think Juliana could be his mother, but all she wanted w

57. I'll see you at the altar

~Esperanza's POV~ I haven't fully recovered from the trauma that Evangelina and Juliana gave me. And here I was dealing with another life-threatening issue over my son's head. Why did life have to be this complicated? Claudia couldn't kill me because she and my father would've lost every cent if I had died. All of the money, property, and savings would've gone to charity if anything had happend to me. But Asher... Juliana will go to any length if this were true... How could Daniel Mendoza be this stupid? How could he give a seven month old baby such a large share in their company that he technically became their boss even before turning one? I don't understand why he did that. Did he not trust Carlos? Or did he have another scheme going on in his pathetic head? I hope this is just false information. I don't want this to be true. Even if it gives us the power over their lives. Nothing is bigger than my baby's life. I will gladly, without an

58. Kiss

~Diego's POV~ I was never prepared for this day. Heck, I never even thought about getting married after the day I lost all hope of a good life. I still have no idea what was ahead of me. What storms or rainbows I would witness after this day, but life wouldn't be the same afterward. Doubts, questions, hesitation, concern, care... It all will be there, but love...? I had no idea. Though I love her and will never stop loving her, I still can't get the thought out of my head. What if she thought of ending everything and leaving one day? I agreed to it without thinking twice, but this one thought shatters me. I don't want this to happen. I never want her to leave me. I'll give her all the time she needs, but I don't want her to leave my side ever. Even if I agreed to let her go if she wanted... God... How did I fall so hard for her? I thought it would never happen again, but her innocence, smile, that pretty confused face, and her eyes... They doome

59. I'm all yours

~Esperanza's POV~ I never wanted to believe in it... I didn't want to get my hopes high, but no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to understand the depth of this marriage. Sometimes it feels like a responsibility. Towards my son. Towards Diego's grandfather. And sometimes it feels real. Way too raw and real that I tend to forget why we are doing this. And his vow... Why does he have to make everything so real? I don't want to end up falling in love with him and break my heart again. I don't have the strength to go through all of the pain and cries again. His fingers touched my bare back and instantly my grip tightened around his hand. We were in the middle of the dance floor. All eyes were on us while our bodies stood against each other. Hard. Strong. Yet delicate in each other's warmth. I was never so close to him like this. At least not in public. Holding his hand was fine, but dancing with barely a few inches between us... It felt hot. Burning so

60. A Villa

~Esperanza's POV~ My heart was hammering against my ribs. I had no idea where we were going. And he wasn't telling me. It's just Asher, Diego, and me in the car. Neither could I admit I was scared, nor could I stop feeling that way. I was just holding Asher tightly while unknown to the world, Asher just enjoyed sitting by the window and looking out of it as if it were the best thing in the world. "Why do I feel like he has never been out?" Diego asked, his eyes focused on the road. "I know about public gatherings, but private moments... At least with... Mendoza..." "He never took him anywhere," I sighed and kissed Asher's head. "He didn't want him to cross paths with me." "Then how come he was at Parson's gala?" Diego further asked. "Because Mendoza thought it was his aunt's engagement," I chuckled. "At least he should be under the same roof as her celebration." "Poor them..." He chuckled. Earlier, I felt bad for Claire. I didn't like the way Parsons and Diego expose
