“Ms Adriana, you should be fast about the payment before the cancer runs all over his body, don’t let it get to where he can’t survive it anymore,” The doctor said while Adriana’s face fell.

“I,,,I will find the money at all cost, It won’t exceed to next week, I will bring it this week,” Adriana quickly said wiping away the tears coming out of her eyes.

“Okay but be fast about it, excuse me please,” With that the doctor walked out of Scott’s ward, he has been moved into a ward.

“Mummy, will Scott be okay? Please make sure Scott is okay,” Her kids cried to her holding Scott’s hand diligently, he has started to look pale and sick.

“He,,he will be fine, I’m sure he’s fighting within as well,” Adriana muttered hiding her tears while Dora walked in just in time

“Adriana? Adriana, how’s Scott? What did the doctor say?” She asked instantly and Adriana shrugs her shoulders. 

“I’m sure he’s going to get better, Hm, what did your boss said?” Adriana chipped in as she eagerly waited for Dora to speak.

Dora breathed in, “He,,he refused because of the issues we are facing at the company but I will-“ 

Adriana instantly shook her head, “No, I will find my way out. You’ve done enough Dora, it’s okay. I mean thanks to you, we were able to transfer Scott to a room like this,” Adriana cut her off then went to her bag.

“Where are you going?” Dora asked while Adriana picked the bag and simply smiled.

“Well, I want to find money as well, it’s my son we are taking about here,” With that Adriana walked out.

“Poor Adriana, I don’t even know what to do,” Dora muttered, tears dropped from her eyes.

Than Bank

“I’m Clara by name, How may we help you miss,” The accountant at the desk asked Adriana, Adriana swallowed the hard lump on her throat.

“I’m here to take loans,” Adriana replied while the lady clicked something on the system.

“How much will you like to loan?” She asked and Adriana lean forward.

“If possible, $200,000 please,” Adriana anxiously replied.

“To take that amount of money, you will need to have a steady monthly payment and works at a reliable company, may I have your business card?” The lady explained and Adriana face fell.

“I,,I,, don’t have any of that,” Adriana shuddered looking pale and hopeless.

“I’m sorry ma’am but we can’t let you have the loan if you can’t provide a business card or a working card,” The lady declared while Adriana simply stood up.

“Okay, thank you,” With that she left the bank.

Adriana dragged her feet on the floor as she walked to the bus stop, her eyes already filled with tears that she has barely walked away from the bank when it started pouring out.

“Why, why,, why me? Why do I have to hurt so much like this?” She asked herself as more tears dropped.

Then all of a sudden her mind went to someone, “M-Miguel,” She called and cleanse her tears. “He’s the father after-all,”

(MFR Company)- Miguel’s secret room)

Miguel was sitting on the floor, drinking a bottle of wine, his eyes swelled up and his lips looked like it’s been long he tasted what’s called food, he’s probably be drinking all the while. 

“How can I be the father?” He stated and suddenly laugh out drunkenly, “I’m impotent, I can’t even impregnate a lady talk-more of becoming a father! Adriana, you lied!” Miguel added then he managed to get up going to where he kept the ring.

“This is supposed to be in your finger by now, why the hell did you fuck up?! You should have waited till I told you how I feel before lying to me! I can’t be a father,” Tears dropped as he looked at the ring.

All of a sudden, his phone rang from his pant trousers. “Who the fuck is it?” He laments and brought it out of his pant trousers, “Fred?” He scoffed and pick it up.

“Why the hell are you calling me? Stop calling me already!” He snapped at him but instead Fred laughed.

“Are you drunk? Oh, I heard you hardly eat at home. Don’t tell me the news about who Adriana was got to you?” Fred teased annoyingly.

“If you’re going to  say nonsense to my ears, I’d rather hang up-“

“Easy! I just want to give you a reminder that I might expose the truth to the whole world and it’s finished if you can’t defend for yourself and people will tag you as irresponsible,” Fred added but Miguel rolled his eyes.

“Do you think that will work on me? Tsk, what were you thinking  really, Fred? Oh, You expect me to start crawling at your feet and probably pleading for mercy? Tsk, I guess you don’t know?” Miguel stated while Fred raised his eyebrows over the phone.

“Know what?” He asked.

“That I’m Impotent? That I can’t father a child. Oh, Daddy kept it from all of you but I need to let you know so you can get it straight and stop using that lie against me,” Miguel fired at him and dropped the call immediately.

He fell back on the couch and sink his fingers deeply into his hair, making it look really messy, “That fucked up jerk!” He muttered and right away his phone began ringing once again.

“Didn’t you get it Fred-“ When he checked the Caller ID, his heart leaped to the name, “Adriana’

“It’s funny how I haven’t deleted her number, I, I, miss her,” He mumbled but instead he turn his phone off. “She lied to me and that doesn’t change,”
