Next day

(Alberto’s Building)

Mrs Alberto packed all her documents to the balcony, a dustpan was there and she threw all the research she has made on Julia into the dustpan. “I should let her go, what was I earnestly searching for?” Tears dropped.

She lit up the fire and burn everything, “Bye, Julia,” She muttered watching all the paper burn into pieces.

“Ma’am,” One of her staff called and she turned, “Mr Saint is here,” The lady said and went away afterwards.

She dropped the lighter and walked into the living room, in there, she met her lawyer handling Julia’s will she has prepared for her.

“Good day ma’am, I received a message that you want all your properties under Julia Alberto to go to the orphanage home?” The man asked while Mrs Alberto simply nod sitting opposite him.

“Yes.” She replied while a lady brought two cup of tea, dropping it on the desk before leaving. 

The man cleared his throat, “I’m sorry if it seems like I’m meddling into your business but ma’am, why do you intend to distribute it to the orphanage? Are you not looking for Julia anymore?” He asked politely.

Mrs Vera Alberto took a sip from the cup of tea, “I,,I,, have been searching for meaningless thing all these while. She’s dead,” She announced while the man gasp feeling bad immediately.

“Hmm, did you confirm her death?” He asked, Mrs Alberto gave him a response with a nod.

“Let’s just transfer it to the orphanage, attorney,” She added battling away her tears.

“What about Jessica? You could transfer them to Jessica, right?” The man suggested but Mrs Alberto shook her head.

“No, as you may know, Jessica is the heiress of the Alberto, sooner or later she’s going to be taking over the Alberto’s company, her dad’s assets and so much more,” Mrs Alberto explained and added it with a smile.

“I gave those properties to Julia hoping I’d find her so what’s best to do for her is to distribute them, that’s fair,” She concluded.

“Hmm, okay, Shall we start the distribution then? How many orphanage homes do you intend to sponsor?” The attorney asked and started jotting down something.

“Judging by that large assets, How many orphanage homes can it get to?” She muttered 

“5-8 orphanage home.” The man suggested

Mrs Alberto didn’t hesitate she quickly replied him,“Okay, distribute them.” 
    {MIGUEL HOUSE}

A very bright sun ray pierced into Miguel’s sleep and that made him peeled his eyes open, he groans and wanted to sit upright but he noticed the syringe passed into his veins, he realized he is receiving a bag of drip, “What’s this?” He hissed.

He managed to sit up, he took the water beside him and rested his back on the wall.

“Thank goodness! You’ve woken,” Alina came in just right in time and place a small bowl of porridge on the table.

“What happened? Why am I receiving this?” Miguel growl while Alina shook her head.

“Did you know how scared I was when you collapse? Just because you starved for 7days! You were only drinking alcohol!” Alina nagged angrily.

“You don’t know what I went through yesterday just to make you eat three spoon of rice so you can take the drip, the doctor said you can’t take it without eating,” She added giving him a scornful look while Miguel simply suck his teeth.

“You should have just let me die, huh?” Miguel blurted out while the woman slap him on the shoulders.

“Stop saying nonsense and make sure you eat that food. I will be back to give you your drugs,” With that Alina walked out.

Miguel breathed out and looked at the porridge, he hissed and closed his eyes.

Alina was just going to the kitchen when she saw Jessica coming in, she frown unhappy to see her. ‘Tsk, that bossy girl is here again,’ she shutters.

“Hey, Alina right?” Jessica called rushing over to her. Alina simply greeted her.

“How may I help you Jessica?” Alina asked.

“I have been calling Miguel since last night but he’s not picking up so I came to check up on him, is he in his room? Let me-“ Jessica was about going but Alina blocked her way.

“He’s..he’s not feeling too well to see anyone at the moment,” Alina told her while Jessica rolled her eyes.

“So, are you telling me to leave?” Jessica snapped 

“No,, I was just-“ 

“Then get out of my way before I push you,” Jessica cut her off immediately while Alina left the way and she took the stairs but she’s barely got to his room when she saw Miguel coming down.

“Didn’t she tell you I’m not too well to see anyone? Are you disrespecting my staff?” Miguel snapped getting to Jessica who bat her eyelashes.

“I was just worried, you weren’t picking up my calls,” Jessica said with a pout.

“Well, you’ve seen me now, you should leave isn’t it? Leave Jessica, I’m not in the state to talk to anyone and that doesn’t exclude you,” Miguel commanded and Jessica was left with no choice but to leave.

She walked out of the house going to the poolside, “Damn it! Why is everything going wrong arrgh!” She lashed out then sank her fingers into her hair.

Then when Jessica was about leaving the pool when she her eyes ran to the gate, she saw a cab alighting at the front gate, Adriana got out of it.

Jessica narrowed her eyes, “that sly! What the heck,” She snapped going back to the security guards.

“Oh Ms Jessica, how may we-“

“That lady that’s about to come in, don’t let her get into this house, understood?” She instructed.

“But-“

“Miguel told me to tell you, so do as you’re told,”
