Chapter 145

Chapter 144
Alfredo kept staring at Mario. 

"Uncle," Mario called. 

"Mario...," Alfredo paused. 

Mario stared at him. 

"You are going to be a father," Alfredo said. 

Mario froze slightly, staring at Alfredo. 

"She is two weeks gone," Alfredo said. 

Mario gritted his teeth angrily. 

"Take it out," 

"Mario...." 

"Take it out, uncle. I can't have a child with that lunatic," Mario snarled. 

"At least let's wait for your father," Alfredo said. 

"It is my mess, not my father's," Mario said. 

"Your mess, true. And also his because he is your father. This is his first grandchild we are talking about here," Alfredo said. 

"I don't give a damn, uncle. Take the shit out before I do it the way I plan to do it. I am not going to father a child from that sick twisted bitch," Mario said, walking out of the room angrily. 

"Damn, he is just like Adrian," Alfredo said as his  eyes moved to Liliana. 

She is still unconscious. 

Alfredo heaved a sigh as he took out his phone from his pocket. He searched his call logs for Adrian's number. 

He dialed it instantly and placed his phone close to his ear. 

It rang twice before Adrian picked

"Alfredo," Adrian called calmly from the other end of the line. 

"Something has happened. You have to come back home." 



NEXT DAY.........

ALONG THE HALLWAY......... 

Mimi walked along the hallway dressed in pink shorts and a black crop top. 

She was heading towards the medical room. She got closer to the door and Lucas walked out of the room, making her heart pick up. 

Lucas looked her way and they locked eyes. 

Their hearts raced.

"Hey," Mimi said a bit nervously. 

"Hey," Lucas said. 

Mimi looked into the room, and she saw Mario seated on the stool, staring at Liliana. 

"How is she?" Mimi asked.

Lucas nodded slightly as he closed the door. 

"She is fine and out of danger. We just have to wait till she wakes up," he said. 

Mimi nodded. "I am glad she is okay." 

"Yeah. Me too," Lucas said, looking at Mimi. 

Mimi's heart raced faster as she stared at him too. 

"How are you?" Lucas asked. 

"Did Mario sleep there all night?" She asked, ignoring his question. 

Lucas' heart clenched a bit but he nodded. 

"Yes, he did," he said. 

"Why? What is his deal with her?" Mimi asked. 

"I have no idea," Lucas said, staring at her. 

Mimi heaved a tiny sigh, lowering her gaze she fought the urge to grab Lucas and kiss him. 

She really misses him. 

"Mimi," he called, taking her hand. 

She looked at him.

His charming blue eyes rested on her. 

"I miss you, Mimi," he said. 

She stared at his eyes, confirming what he had just said. 

"I miss you too," she said internally. 

She lowered her gaze as she withdrew her hand from his hold, making his heart clench. 

"Mario is in there. He will hear you. I presume you don't want to get him upset, do you?" She asked.

He didn't respond but stared at her. 

"I guess not." She said, walking away as her heart tightened. 

She walked for some seconds, but someone held her hand, making her turn towards the person. 

It was Lucas. 

Her heart raced but she furrowed her brows. 

"Lucas....." 

"I fucking miss you, Mimi. I am done protecting my relationship with Mario," he said, grabbing her face and crashing his lips on hers before she could say anything. 

Mimi's heart danced with joy as she managed to keep up with his rough but hot movement of his lips on hers. 

She held his shoulders as she held her closer. 

She forced herself to stop the kiss instantly, making him look at her. 

"We have to stop. Someone could see us," she said, looking around. 

Lucas caressed her cheek as he held her gaze. 

"Do you forgive me?" he asked. 

"Lucas...." 

"I need you to forgive me, Mimi," he retorted. 

Mimi stared at him as her heart kept racing. 

"I forgive you," she said. 

He couldn't help but smile, making her heart flutter. 

She missed his smile too. 

He reached for her hand and held it. 

"Come on," he said. 

"Where are we going?" 

"Trust me," he said, taking her towards one of the corners in the hallway. 

They got to the corner, and he pinned her to the wall. 

Mimi felt a tingle in between her legs as she stared at his mesmerizing eyes. 

He leaned closer and kissed her lips again. She wrapped her hands around his neck and kissed him back. 

He leaned down and picked her up. She wrapped her legs around his waist as they went on kissing.

And kissing. 

Like they have missed each other for decades. 

Their hearts danced for joy as they explored and devoured each other's lips tenderly and sweetly. 

After some seconds, they pulled off each other's lips but rested their temples on each other as they caught their breaths. 

"I miss you so much, Mimi," Lucas said in between breaths. 

"I miss you too," Mimi said, caressing his hair with her fingers. 

He pulled away slightly and looked at her. 

Their eyes stared at each other's eyes. 

"I love you, baby." 

Mimi's heart fluttered. 

"I am sorry that I picked my relationship with Mario and my job over you. You are all that matters. All I have to live for. I love you so much, baby," he said. 

"I love you too," Mimi said, smiling as she admired his flawlessness. 

Lucas couldn't help but smile. They stared at each other's lips, and they leaned closer, kissing all over again. 

Outside the corner, Manuel stood close to the wall, listening to the sounds of their lips devouring each other.

He gritted his teeth angrily as he glared at a random place. 



NEXT DAY.......

ADRIAN'S OFFICE......

"Why do you want to take it out?" Adrian asked Mario. They are both in the office. Adrian is seated in his swivel seat and Mario is on his feet. 

"I don't want it," Mario said. 

"I didn't feel that way about you the first time I heard about you," Adrian said. 

Mario scoffed. "This is different, dad. This bitch is sick. I can be parents with her. She is not fit to be a mother to my child." 

"You didn't think about that before exploring the walls in between her legs," Adrian said. 

"Listen, dad, I accept I made a mistake. This is my punishment, but I can't keep it. Not after what she did to Liliana. The poor girl is still fucking unconscious," Mario said. 

Adrian stared at him. 

"We can't keep the baby," Mario said. 

"That's my first grandchild." 

Mario sighed. 

"You can't kill my blood, Mario. You have to take responsibility as the father and I will take mine as the grandfather. It is not a big deal. I am here to help if that's the problem," Adrian said. 

"No way, dad. We are not keeping that thing in her," Mario said, getting pissed again. 

"Are you like this because she pushed the other maid, or you just don't want a baby with her?" Adrian asked. 

"Both of them and many other reasons. I don't know what I was thinking when all this started. Evelyn was driving crazy, and I didn't know what I was doing," Mario said, recalling how all this started.

Adrian stared at him. 

"Fuck," Mario muttered, looking away. 

"You are blaming her now?" Adrian asked. 

"No. I just....look, it all started with her, okay? I haven't even seen her in a while. Sometimes I think about her, and it makes me feel terrible," Mario said, making Adrian's heart react as he thought of Evelyn. 

"This shit is fucked up. You have to let uncle take the baby out of her," Mario said. 

"That's not going to happen. The baby is here to stay. You need to start learning how to accept this outcome," Adrian said. 

Mario furrowed his brows. He was about to say something when the door opened instantly, revealing a panicking Mimi. 

She claimed their attention. 

"Mimi, what is....." 

"It is Camilla. I think she is dead," Mimi blurted. 

Mario and Adrian froze. 



AN HOUR LATER..........

CAMILLA'S ROOM.......

"She is not dead. But the baby is out." Alfredo announced to Mario, Adrian and Candela.

They are all in Camilla's room and Camilla is lying unconscious on her bed and has some medical things connected to her body. 

Adrian gritted his teeth angrily as he stared at Camilla. 

Mario felt a lot of mixed feelings as he stared at Camilla. 

Candela smirked in fulfillment. 

"How did this shit happen?" Adrian asked. 

"Well, she was bleeding when Mimi found her. I believe someone forced an abortion on her," Alfredo said, making others look at him. 

Adrian moved his eyes to Mario. 

Mario looked at him. "Don't look at me. I was with you the entire time." 

"Oh my God. That's terrible," Candela said, looking at Camilla. 

Adrian moved his eyes to Candela. 

"Well, serve her right. Fucking bitch." I hope you die," Candela said, walking out of the room. 

Adrian looked at Mario for the last time before walking out. 

Mario heaved a sigh as he stared at Camilla. 

Alfredo stared at Mario. 

"Are you sure you didn't kill your baby, Mario?" Alfredo asked, making Mario look at him. 

"I didn't. But who ever did, I am grateful to him or her," Mario said, walking away. 

Alfredo stared at him as he walked away. 



ADRIAN'S ROOM........

Candela walked into the room and Adrian walked in right after. 

She walked towards the bed and turned to him. 

"Isn't this exciting?" she asked. 

Adrian didn't respond but stared at her as he walked closer to her. 

"That pathetic bitch thinks she could bring that thing into this world and...." 

Adrian gripped her face instantly, shutting her up. 

"Adrian...." She whimpered, but he gripped her face tighter, almost touching her face bone. 

"That thing was my first grandchild, and you fucking killed it," Adrian snarled.

She struggled with his hold, hurting from his tight grip on her cheeks and jaw. 

"You refused to bear children since I married you, and you killed an extension of my bloodline. How fucking dare you, Candela?" he snarled. 

"I.....I didn't....I didn't kill anything. It wasn't....it wasn't me," She struggled to speak as his grip got tighter. 

"You are hurting me," she almost cried. 

He grabbed her face aggressively, making her whimper. 

"I want a divorce," 

Her face twitched. 

"I am done with you," he snarled, releasing her aggressively and she fell on the bed, massaging her face as she stared at him. 

He stared at her one last time before heading out of the room. 

Candela clenched her knuckles as she got on her feet. 

"Done with me?" She asked, chuckling but frowning angrily. 

"I will teach you a fucking lesson, Adrian. Wait and fucking see. Bastard." 



NIGHT HOURS...........

ADRIAN'S OFFICE........

Adrian stood close to the window with a glass of wine in his hand and the other hand in his pocket as he stared at the stars. 

His thoughts moved to Evelyn again for the umpteenth time. 

If this emergency hadn't come up, he would have spent more time with her. 

But he had to come back and take control of his home. 

But it went out of control. 

The fact that he lost his grandchild makes him so pissed. He could lose his shit because of it. 

But when he thinks of Evelyn, he finds himself forgetting about everything. 

No doubt he misses her. 

But he has to keep away from her for a while. 

His door opened, claiming his attention. 

Irina walked into the office dressed in a mini-black dress and white fur coat. 

"Hello, Addy," she said, smiling as she walked towards the seat close to his desk. 

"Irina," he called, taking his seat. 

"How is my favorite man doing?" She asked, grinning. 

"You didn't tell me you were coming," he said, ignoring her question. 

"Well, that's Irina for you, sweetie. I missed you. I wanted to know if you have done what I asked you to do," she said. 

He stared at her. 

She raised her brows. 

"What is that?" he asked. 

"Divorce Candela and let's start planning our wedding. I want a grand wedding, Addy. You know what I like, don't you?" Irina asked, grinning. 

Adrian scoffed, lowering his gaze. 

"Why are you scoffing?" she asked. 

He relaxed in his seat as he stared at her. 

She shrugged slightly. 

"I thought you'd given up being stupid, Irina," 

Irina's face twitched. 

"You know, I used to see you as a sister. But now, you are fucking pest." 

She clenched her knuckles on the desk, attracting his eyes. He returned to her eyes and leaned closer to the desk without taking his eyes off her. 

"I might divorce Candela. But I will never be caught dead marrying you," he said. 

Irina clenched her jaw angrily as her heart tightened. 

"This is the last time I will say this. Keep up with this shit again, and I will remove you from the Morelli legacy," he threatened. 

Her face twitched. 

"I mean it," he added. 

"You can't do that," she said. 

"Oh I can, sweetie. I am Don fucking Morelli. I made you. I can take everything away in an instant. Don't fuck with me, Irina. You will regret it," he said. 

She scowled at him. 

"Get the fuck out," he ordered, picking up his glass and taking a sip. 

Irina got on her feet angrily and headed out. 

She closed the door behind her and looked at the door angrily. 

She averted her eyes from it and walked ahead. 



NOW...........

ULYSSES RESORT.......

The beautiful backspace of the hotel has a huge pool and a lot of amazing esthetics. The place is decorated beautifully and there are a few people around dressed in beautiful attires. 

They all had glasses of champagne in their hands as waiters and waitresses moved to and fro in their uniforms. 

On the stage, the writing, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR ALFREDO" is written with balloons and placed on the wall. 

And there is a huge white and black cake on the stage as well. 

The party is a simple one with a few guests but very luxurious. 

Everyone chatted with one another and as they sipped the drink while slow music was being played in the background by a band dressed in black suits. 

At the table filled with drinks and an all-you-can-eat buffet, Adrian, dressed in a black tux, poured himself some wine in a glass. 

Dolores approached him dressed in a blue dress. 

"Adrian?" She called. 

He looked at her. 

She became very nervous as she held his gaze. 

"What do you want, Dolores?" he asked, returning his gaze to his drink. 

"I want to talk to you about something," she said. 

He looked at her. 

She is looking at him. 

"What about?" he asked. 

"It is...." She trailed off the minute she saw something behind him. 

He noticed, making him look behind him. 

He froze the minute he saw Evelyn, descending the stairs dressed in a beautiful green dress. 

His heart picked up instantly. 

Dolores' heart clenched as she looked between Adrian and then towards Evelyn. 

"You invited her?" Dolores asked. 

Adrian kept staring at Evelyn. 

"No. I didn't. She is not supposed to be here," he muttered.
