THIRD POV 

TWO WEEKS AGO.......

MORELLI MANSION.....

"You are going to be a father, Mario," 

Camilla's words traveled down Mario's ears as he stared at her. She smirked regardless of the blood at the corner of her lips. 

Everyone stood still as well, staring at Camilla and also Mario. 

Candela couldn't believe her ears. 

Mimi rested her eyes on Mario, expecting him to pounce on Camilla for lying, but Mario just stood there, dumbfounded. 

This just confirmed what Evelyn told her.

Mario was really sleeping with Camilla. 

How could he do this? 

Dante and Dolores just stared at them, thinking about this differently. 

It is entertainment for Dante. 

But it is not for Dolores. 

Lucas was aside, talking to Alfredo on the phone while Manuel and Carlos stood close to Liliana and Paloma, but had their attention on Camilla and Mario. 

They can't believe their ears either. 

Mario and Camilla? 

Seriously?

Paloma was focused on an unconscious Liliana on the sofa, who was still bleeding from the head.

Candela descended the remaining stairs and grabbed Camilla's arm aggressively, making her whimper. 

"What the hell did you just say, you piece of trash?!" Candela yelled as Mario took a slow and dumbfounded step back as he absorbed what Camilla said. 

"What are you saying?! How dare you make up such a stupid lie about my son?!" Candela yelled. 

Camilla chuckled, making everyone's faces twitch. 

"Stupid lie?" Camilla asked, looking at Candela. 

Candela scowled at her. 

"You call your future grandchild a stupid lie?" Camilla asked, smirking. 

Candela kept scowling at her. 

"He is not denying it, is he?" Camilla asked. 

Everyone looked at Mario.

He is still dumbfounded, staring at the floor. 

"Look at him," Camilla said to Candela. 

Candela kept scowling at her. 

"Look at him, Candela. He is not denying it," Camilla said, making Candela clench her jaw angrily. 

"Your son and I have been lovers under this roof for a long time now. And now, I am carrying his baby," Camilla said, grinning happily. 

"You little slut!" Candela yelled, slapping Camilla's face hard. 

"Candela!" Dolores called. 

Camilla continue chuckling. 

"Lunatic slut!" Candela yelled again, slapping Camilla's other cheek.

"Candela, stop!" Dolores called, rushing towards Candela as she raised her hand to hit Camilla, who was still chuckling annoyingly, but Dolores held Candela's hand. 

"Let go of me, Dolores. I am going to kill this bitch!" Candela yelled, breathing hard. 

"Would you kill the mother of your first grandchild?" Dante asked amusingly.

"I would ask the same thing," Camilla said, smiling with her blood-filled lips. 

Candela clenched her jaw, struggling to get her hand off Dolores' hold. 

"Stop, Candela. Stop this," Dolores said, holding Candela back tightly.

Candela glared at Camilla. 

Camilla kept smirking, ignoring the pain from all the slaps she got in just one night thanks to this beautiful news. 

Mario just stood there, still dumbfounded. 

"You are not keeping that thing, you hear me? Alfredo will take it out!" Candela yelled.

Camilla scoffed. "I am sorry, ma'am, but I am no longer your maid. I am your future grandchild's mother. Why are we all like this though?" she asked, looking at everyone. 

"We should be celebrating. This is great news. Isn't it, honey?" Camilla asked Mario. 

Mario looked at her. 

"We are expecting a baby, sweetie. Our baby," she said, chuckling. 

Candela released her hand from Dolores' hold and grabbed Camilla's face, forcing Camilla to look at her. 

"Listen, sick bitch, you will never have that bastard. I will kill you if I must. You have no idea who you are dealing with," Candela snarled, releasing Camilla's face aggressively. 

Camilla let out a whimper but narrowed her eyes at Candela. 

"Carlos, Manuel, take this thing to the cold room and lock her up." Candela ordered without looking away from Camilla, whose face twitched. 

"Yes, ma'am," Carlos said, walking towards Camilla with Manuel following him behind. 

"Mario," Camilla called, looking at Mario as the boys grabbed her hands. 

"Mario, don't let them do this," Camilla said. 

"Take her away!" Candela yelled. 

"Mario!" Camilla yelled as they dragged her along, but she was relentless.

Mario didn't respond. 

"Mario, don't let them do this to our baby!" 

"Wait," Mario said, stopping the boys and making everyone look at him. 

"Mario, don't get me more pissed than I already am," Candela warned. 

Mario didn't spare her a look but rested his gaze on Camilla. 

Camilla smiled slightly at him, awaiting his command to the boys who were still holding her arms. 

"Uncle will run a test on her to confirm this. In the meantime, tie her up in the cold room," Mario ordered, making Camilla's smile fall. 

"Mario," Camilla called. 

"Do as he says, Carlos!" Candela yelled.

"Mario, you can't do this!" Camilla yelled as the boys dragged her away. 

"Mario, ugh!" 

The main entrance door closed, claiming everyone's attention. 

It was Alfredo. 

"What is going on here?" Alfredo asked as he walked closer. His eyes fell on Liliana, still unconscious on the sofa. 

Mario quickly walked towards the sofa. 

"You have to help her, uncle. She was pushed down the stairs," Mario said. 

"What?" Alfredo asked, taking off his jacket. 

"How did this happen?" Alfredo asked as he reached for Liliana's neck to check her impulse. 

"Camilla, the little maid. And she is pregnant with our nephew," Dante spilled the tea, making Mario and Candela throw him a glare. 

Alfredo looked at Dante and then at Mario. 

He pushed that aside as he continued checking Liliana's impulse. 

"Is she alive?" Paloma asked, looking at Alfredo with her tear-filled face. 

"Yes, she is. I need to start treatment immediately. Bring her to the medical room," Alfredo said, walking in the direction.

Mario didn't waste a second but picked Liliana up bridal style and followed Alfredo. 

Alfredo walked past Dolores without sparing her look, making her heart clench as Mario, Paloma and Lucas walked past as well. 

"Fucking shit," Candela said, walking up the stairs. She walked past Dante, who smirked but followed her behind. 

Dolores lowered her gaze as she thought of Alfredo and his coldness towards her lately.

"I can't believe Evelyn was right," Mimi said, making Dolores freeze. 

Mimi heaved a sigh, folding her hands and looking elsewhere as she thought about the drama that had just happened. 

Dolores looked at her. 

"What do you mean, Evelyn?" Dolores asked, making Mimi look at her. 

Mimi shrugged slightly. "I confronted her at the mall, and she told me Mario was sleeping with Camilla." 

Dolores stared at Mimi. 

"I thought she was just making up things to justify her sick actions. But she is right. This just confirmed it," Mimi said, looking away. 

Dolores lowered her gaze as Adrian came to her mind. 

She wonders where he is at the moment. 

He has also given her cold shoulders lately. Even after threatening her like that the other day at his office. 

God, what is she doing? 



ADRIAN AND CANDELA'S ROOM

"The guts of that dirty bitch," Candela said, walking into her room and Dante walked in as well. 

He closed the door behind him as Candela paced the room angrily. 

"Calm down, baby. You will make a very pretty grandmother." Dante snickered. 

Candela threw him a scowl. 

He chuckled. 

"Get out, Dante." She ordered. 

"You can't be serious," he said, walking closer to her. 

"Do I look like I am joking?" she asked angrily. 

He didn't respond but smirked as he walked closer to her. 

"I said, get out," she ordered, raising her hand to slap his face, but he grabbed her hand, turned her around and locked her two hands behind her as he rested his nose on her ear. 

"Let go of me," she struggled, but he held her tightly. 

"You turn me on so much with this cute anger of yours," he snarled, breathing into her ear. 

"And you look gorgeous when you are angry too," he said, smirking.

"Let go of me, you sick bastard." She said, breathing hard but slowly losing herself to his strong hold and breath in her ear. 

"I can't let you go, baby. I want to ease your temper, future granny," he said, smirking. 

She clenched her jaw angrily. 

"The outcome just made you hotter. Now I am going to fuck you while thinking about you as a granny. A sexy, sexy granny," he said, bending her over and raising her dress. 

"Dante...." 

"Silence, granny. Silence." 



AN HOUR LATER......

IN THE MEDICAL ROOM.....

Liliana is still unconscious and in the king-sized bed. A white bandage is wrapped around her head, and she has a lot of medical things connected to her body. 

Alfredo is standing next to her, writing on his medical file. 

Mario is seated on the stool next to the bed staring at Liliana. 

His heart clenched over and over again as he thought of the moments they had. 

He didn't see this coming. 

Hell, he never expected this kind of shit. 

He is beyond angry and at the same time confused. 

Camilla claiming she is pregnant and Liliana in this fucked up situation. He hopes she is already. 

He just hope. 

"Is it true?" Alfredo asked without looking away from his file. 

Mario looked at him. 

"Is Camilla pregnant with your child?" Alfredo asked, looking at Mario. 

Mario returned his gaze to Liliana. 

"You have to run a test on her to confirm that shit." he said. 

"And if this is really true?" Alfredo asked without looking at Mario. 

Mario didn't respond. 

"What is the next step?" Alfredo asked.

"The test first and then the fucking step. But there is no way I am a baby from that sick bitch. Look at what she did to Liliana. What is she dies?" 

"She won't. I stopped every danger coming her way on time. We just have to wait till she wakes up," Alfredo said. 

Mario stared at Liliana. 

"If the test comes out positive, you need to take responsibility," Alfredo said. 

Mario gritted his teeth angrily. 

"Your dad won't want you to take out his first grandchild. You are his only son, remember?" Alfredo asked. 

"At this point, he can't tell me what to do. That bitch is not having my baby. I am not going to let that happen," Mario said. 

"What do you intend to do?" Alfredo asked. 

"You are the doctor here. Take the shit out," Mario said coldly. 

Alfredo raised his brows. 

Mario looked at him. 

"You can't be serious," Alfredo said. 

"Uncle, you raised me too. You know when I am dead serious," Mario said. 

Alfredo stared at him. 

"Run the test first. If it is positive, take it out. Or I will do it myself and aggressively like she did to Liliana," Mario said, getting on his feet and walking away. 

Alfredo heaved a sigh as his eyes moved to Liliana. 

She is still unconscious. 

"I guess he has fallen for this one," Alfredo said while still looking at Liliana. 

"Evelyn doesn't have anything to worry about. At least for now. But I doubt he will be okay with your relationship with his father." 



HOURS LATER........

ALONG THE HALLWAY.......

Alfredo walked out of the cold room with his little medical bag. 

He walked along the hallway and Dolores' approached. His heart picked up the minute he saw her, but he focused his attention on the way. 

Dolores, on the other hand, felt guilty as always as they got closer. She decided to talk to him or say something to him. 

"Alfredo, I....,"  

"Fuck off," Alfredo retorted as he walked past her. 

Dolores' heart tightened as she stood still, staring at him as he walked.

She lowered her gaze, feeling terrible. 

Alfredo didn't stop walking till he got to the medical room. He walked in and found Mario seated on the sofa close to the bed. 

Mario sat up as he stared at Alfredo. 

Alfredo walked towards the nightstand and placed his bag on it. 

"What's the news, uncle?" Mario asked. 

Alfredo put his hands in his pockets and looked at Mario. 

"Tell me." Mario said. 

Alfredo kept staring at him. 

"Is that sick bitch really pregnant?" Mario said.
