Miguel stormed out angrily, he loosened his tie and was about getting back into the hall when he came across Jessica, “M-Miguel?” She called.

Miguel rolled his eyes, “What is it Jessica?” He growl calmly, Jessica breathed in.

“What I heard can’t be true? That,,, that wench can’t be your baby mama right?” She asked anxiously and Miguel took a step closer to her.

“Believe it or not Jessica, that lady is not my baby mama,” He said firmly and Jessica secretly smiled. “But, That doesn’t give you the right to call her wench, You’re in no position to call her that!” He snapped 

Jessica narrowed her eyes, “What’s that for? Why are you defending that lady when she’s obviously deceiving you? I heard you’re firing her, isn’t it?” Jessica inquired.

“It’s none of your business, Excuse me,” with that Miguel left.

Jessica scoffed, “Whether you like it or not, Miguel. You will forever hate Adrianna,” She muttered with a smirk and left the scene as well.

“Where did it all go wrong! I thought this is going to hit Miguel badly, why is it going wrongly?” Fred lamented pacing to and fro in front of Adriana.

Her mind was still split into pieces as she couldn’t gather all that has just happened, Fred came closer to her.

“Why didn’t Miguel react to you? I thought you loved you! And those kids, aren’t they Miguel’s?” Fred asked but Adriana was too shock to reply him.

“Fuck it! Everything is ruined!” He growl and walked out leaving Adriana alone.

She managed to free herself from the rope used to tie her up, she crumbled to the floor and started crying uncontrollably.



Few hours later, the party ended and people started marching back into their various cars leaving the premises. 

The Alberto got into the car alongside with Jessica and started leaving the hall as well, “Why are you following back home, Jessica? What about Fred?” Mrs Alberto asked her while Jessica rolled her eyes.

“He’s none of my concern, he will know his way around,” Jessica replied her and looked out through the window, she saw Adriana looking so tattered and sad as she drag her feet away, walking like a homeless lady.

“Serves you right,”Jessica muttered looking away 

“Isn’t that lady from earlier?” Mrs Alberto asked looking out through the  window as well. “Why is she looking sad? What-“

“Mom, please, stop caring about a stranger that ruined your dress. She’s known to be ruining dresses, tsk!” Jessica cut her off

“Well, she didn’t ruin my dress. It was an innocent mistake. Stop making a big fuss out of nothing,” Mrs Alberto cautioned her while she stare back Adriana and smiled.

‘She looks so much like Julia,’She thought and kept staring at her till their car drove out of the premises and Adriana was out of her sight.

Adriana held her heels in her hand, she drag her feet lazily to the bus-top, she stopped on her track when she saw Miguel entering his car but he wasn’t giving her attention, her bat her eyelashes from removing tears.

The car drove pass her, Miguel ignored her and clicked away on his phone. The tears rolled softly out of Adriana’s eyes.

She continued walking to the bus-top, when she got there she halt a cab and got in, her tears started one again. “Need tissue ma’am?” The cab driver asked handing over his tissue to her.

“Thank you sir,” She collected it and her eyes ran to the wristwatch on the man wrist, she suddenly remembered the wristwatch she saw in Miguel’s secret room the other day.

“…that wristwatch,” She muttered then cleanse her tears, “I won’t believe this if I don’t confirm that wristwatch.” She told herself softly giving herself some hope.



Miguel got home after some minutes and rushed  into the house, his mood has changed drastically since he discovered the truth, his heart became cold and hard.

“Welcome sir,” Alina greeted him but he walked pass her while she followed behind.

“What should I prepare for dinner sir?” Alina asked 

“Don’t do anything, I’m fine,” Miguel simply replied her, he was already heading to the staircase.

“But you haven’t eaten since morning, you left on empty stomach this morning,” Alina told him worriedly “please kindly eat something,” Alina pestered

“I won’t eat anything, Alina. I won’t repeat myself,” He whispered yet coldly without giving her a glance.

“But Miguel-“ 

Miguel turned to her in an instant, “Have you found another job, Alina? Do you want your sack letter right now?” He raised his voice at the woman first time in forever.

Alina was taken aback by his statement but decided not to show it, she instantly shook her head, “I’m sorry,” With that she left.

Miguel head to his room, he got in and took off the suit and fling it on the bed, the ring box managed to roll out of the suit, it rolled to his feet.

He bent and took it, “She’s just like every other person,” He muttered and tightened his grip on the box, he went over to the dustbin, he threw the box in.

He suddenly scoffed, “Kids? They are definitely not mine. She planned this with Fred,” He muttered and with that he went into his bathroom.
