Chapter 60: Out

Jessica walked out of the party anxiously, she went to the guy she’s been calling, she met him at balcony, smoking. “Do you think it’s right to smoke at this crucial moment!” Jessica yelled slapping the cigarette away from his mouth.

“Chill, I bet those guys are treating that lady’s fuck up. Jessica, why are you so worried?” The man told her, picking another cigarette from the pack.

“If it doesn’t go as we planned, I’m really doomed! I won’t get this opportunity again!” She groans and tightened her fist.

“Jessica-“

“Wait, isn’t that Miguel?” Jessica suddenly cut him off, “Where is he going?” She muttered as Miguel head to the storage room.

“What’s your business with him?”

“Well, I need to find out where’s going! Shut it and watch out for me!” With that she followed Miguel behind quietly.

Adrianna opened her eyes weakly, she quickly did a search of the whole place, she’s in an unfamiliar place, “w-where is this?” She asked and that made Fred looked at her.

He grin widely, “Oh my, Our princess has woken up, tell me how do you feel? You must be wondering why you’re in my custody?” Fred started and Adriana tightened her fist.

“I don’t want to know, let me go! It was you right, you were the one that message me to come out, right?! You pretended to be Miguel, right!” Adriana snapped trying to free herself but it was futile.

“Yes, I never knew you’d come out, Tell me, you love Miguel that much? Wow, what a booming love,” Fred whined and laughed loudly while Adriana kept biting her lips in rage.

“Yes, I love him, what are you going to do about it? If this is one of your scheme to destroy him, dream on! He’s not going to fall for your tricks,” Adriana declared but Fred laughed.

“It was fierce, you’re one strict lady, you know? But too bad, what I’m about to tell the both of you is going to hit you so badly that you won’t get over it for many days,” Fred announced then lean closer to Adriana.

“Don’t get close to me!” Adriana yelled, kicking him between his legs.

He groan painfully, that was his weak point. His face turns red and he clenched his jaw, in a fit of rage, he charged at Adriana, “You witch!” He was about slapping her when Miguel broke the door to the storage room into pieces, if only rage could shut down a place, it would have been torn into pieces.

He walked down to Fred and without waiting, he landed two heavy punches on his face, his lips burst into blood.

Fred fell on the floor, “What did-“ before he could say any other thing, Miguel had already bounced on him and continue punching him hard.

“Oh my God! Miguel, please stop! Miguel!” Adriana snapped crying but he didn’t listened.

“I have been lenient with you for a while but not anymore! Screw you!” Miguel yelled at him, he didn’t stop punching him.

Fred started bleeding from his nose and lips, all of a sudden, he pushed Miguel off and bounced on him back, he was returning the punch on Miguel’s face. “Die you jerk!” Fred lashed out while Adriana watched the scene in fear.

Miguel head-butted Fred, making him fall back, Miguel was already landing the punch when Fred said, “Don’t you want to find out what happened to the lady from five years ago! Stop acting stupid if you want to know!” That made him halt, he narrowed his eyes.

“What are you saying!” Miguel couldn’t understand him, he left him and sink his hand into his head, “Fred, what are you trying to do?” He asked and Fred sprang up on his feet.

He spat out the blood and started smirking, “What am I trying to do? Come on, the answer is right at your front,” Fred uttered looking back at Adriana. “Don’t you remember her?” Fred asked with a smirk at the corner of his lips.

Miguel came closer to him, “Stop playing pranks Fred! I’m not here to joke!” Miguel retorted getting frustrated.

“And I’m not joking! How could you not remember the lady you had a one night stand with! Damn!” Fred revealed and Adriana’s eyes almost pop out.

Her voice became shaky, her eyes became blurry, “What,,what do you mean by that? One, one night stand?” Adriana shutters as tears floated her eyelids.

Fred went back to her, “Oh, Don’t tell me you don’t remember him too? The man that got you pregnant with 5 years ago?” Fred whispered to her, Adriana gritted her teeth and tears flow down to her cheeks.

“That’s a lie! Miguel is not my kids father! You schemed this!” Adriana yelled at him trying to shook off the thought.

Miguel was lost, his heart raced as he went back to Fred, “What’s your proof? What proof do you have that Adriana is that lady from Five years ago!” Miguel questioned sharply trying his best not to accept it.

“Proof? What proof? I remember vividly when you left the house to a bar. October 2, 2017. Right? That very day was when Adriana found out her long time fiancé has been cheating on her,” Fred started, Adriana widened her eyes.

“Adriana, you were so drunk that you didn’t know it was Miguel you had a one night stand with or did you plan this from  the beginning? To give your kids rich daddy?” Fred asked then suddenly laughed out.

Miguel couldn’t believe it all, he shook his head repeatedly, “I don’t believe you Fred, I know-“ He couldn’t finish what he was saying when Fred shove a video at his face.

“Even after this? I made my research very well! I can’t make things up, I get my facts right,” Fred replied curtly.

Miguel watched the video with heavy heart, a video footage of what happened at the bar five years ago, A footage of him and Adriana kissing at a passage till they both entered  the room, that was the end.

Miguel dropped the phone in shock, Adriana was about to see it as well, her eyes clouded in tears. 

“Now, did you believe me now? That Adriana is your baby mama,” Fred announced while Miguel swallowed down nothing nervously.

“W..hy are you telling me this now? Why-“ He halted and sighed, “What do you want!”

Fred finally came forward to Miguel, “What I have always wanted, your company, your wealth!” Fred announced to him but instead Miguel chuckles.

“And if I refuse?“

“Get ready to face another news about your secretary being your baby mama!” Fred told him but Miguel scoffed and glance at Adriana who was still sobbing.

“Her? I don’t know her as from today, and those kids she has, they aren’t mine. They are never mine. Don’t try me Fred,” He turned to leave but suddenly halted and face Adriana, who had all kinds of expression written all over her face.

“And you, You’re OUT.”
