         (Two Weeks Later)

(The Fernandez Villa)

Mr Fernandez dropped some pictures of a lady on the desk and sipped his coffee, “Take a look at those thorough because she’s going to be your next contract bride. You’re getting married whether you like it or not,” He told Miguel who was standing at his front.

Miguel picked one of the picture, “Whatever you say, I’m glad that’s happening,” He took the picture into his pocket and turned, leaving the room.

Though Mr Fernandez was stunned that Miguel agreed with no issues but he rolled his eyes instead, “Don’t blame me for trying to toss another lady at you after everything that has happened,” He mumbled rolling his cup of coffee.

“By everything you meant,  is it about Fred’s sudden death that’s almost ruining your business?” Miguel asked while his father scoffed.

“Did you believe what the rumors says? That I pushed him to his death? People are blaming me for his death, I can’t possibly kill my own flesh and blood?” His father shuttered.

Miguel smirked putting his hands into his pant pocket, “True. You’re not the one who killed him. According to his death report, he died from eating his allergy and no one was there to help him.” Miguel stated.

“Exac-“

“But Dad, Did you know that as a parent and a Father, your child be it adult or old needs care and support. Incase you don’t know, Fred did everything to please you so you can acknowledge him but what did you do? You focused too much on me and caused rift between us,” Miguel cut him off.

“Miguel, I-“ 

“Dad? You might not be the one who killed him physically but you killed him emotionally with your ignorance and greed. Humph, have a good day,” with that Miguel walked out.

Miguel got to where he parked his car, he pulled out the lady’s picture and smirked, “ I don’t care about who I want to marry, as long as it take you out of my mind,” He muttered and his phone vibrates 

He took it out, it was a wedding invitation sent by Gilbert, “Why is he sending him that?” He shutters and opened the message and his heart fell into pieces when he saw Adriana’s name on the invitation.

The wedding is in 3 days? He clicked on the message and deleted it immediately and get into his car driving out of the garage.

—The Alberto’s House—

“Jessica? Jessica? Where has she gone to so  early in the morning?” Mrs Alberto said as she came into Jessica room but couldn’t find her. 

“Looking for me mom?”  She appeared behind her sweating profusely.

“Where have you been? I have been searching for you,” Her mom said and while Jessica walked in.

“I went out for an exercise, the therapist said I should exercise my body to make sure I don’t get affected by what has happened,” Jessica muttered softly then saw the fruit salad on the table, she took an apple into her mouth.

“I’m glad you’re moving on, it’s so sad that Fred has to die so soon, I’m sorry about that,” Her mom sympathize while Jessica pouted.

“I feel bad that I couldn’t help him. I don’t know why I had to go out that day,” She shutters 

“Don’t blame yourself honey, it’s okay,” Her mom told her pulling her into a hug, Jessica’s lips changed into a smirk.

Then they suddenly pulled away from the hug, “That reminds me, I will be visiting Miguel later in the evening. He asked me to come.” She whispered 

“Oh, that’s great. I guess I should take my leave now for your father’s arrival.” With that her mom walked out of the room.

Jessica took her towel and walked into the shower with a smirk, “Miguel, Miguel, Get ready for me. Your darling Adriana is getting married anyways and I’m sure she’s out of the way now.” She whispered.

(Evening- Miguel’s Mansion)

Jessica knocked on Miguel’s door but when there was no response, she twisted the door knob and walked in, she gasped when she saw Miguel squat the floor with a bottle of liquor with him, “Miguel?!” She ran to him.

She narrowed her eyes when she saw the bottle, “Are you planning on killing yourself? Why did you drink this strong liquor?” Jessica snapped while Miguel lifted his face and suddenly his hand was caressing Jessica’s cheeks. 

“What took you so long, I miss you Adriana,” Miguel muttered almost pouring out tears while Jessica blinked her eyes in anger.

“What? Tsk, This is Jessica! Jessica Alberto! Get it right!” Jessica snapped at him and he sober up a little, he took his hand away with a growl.

“What are you doing here? I never invited you here,” Miguel fired at her, sprang up on his feet while Jessica had no option but to scoff.

“You’re still blinded by that slutty bitch love? Are you dumb, Miguel? She’s getting married in 3days!” Jessica yelled while Miguel grab her by her neck but didn’t strangle.

“Let me hear you call her bitch again and you will find yourself being carried away in an ambulance, shut it before I do it,” He threatened and let go of her neck.

Jessica folded her fist in anger, it was overwhelming and unbearable for her. 

“Get out already, I don’t want to see your face,” Miguel snapped while Jessica angrily left the room.

She stood there and gritted her teeth, “After killing Fred for you Miguel, you dare chase me out? Just wait and see,”
