“Please make sure you gather all the money for your son’s sake, he’s dying,” Adriana kept reminiscing about what the doctor has told her few hours ago, that made her went to Miguel’s.

She alighted from the cab and pressed on the bell at the gate, “Good day, please I’m here to see Miguel, tell him Adriana Georgia,” She said to the small camera beside the bell.

Few minutes later, a voice came up, “Mr Miguel is busy and he has told us not to let anyone in, you might come back later,” Adriana face dropped immediately she heard that.

“I..I will wait,” She shutters squatting down beside the gate. “I’m sure he’s going to come out for me,” she hoped grabbing her purse close.

Jessica smirked looking at Adriana from the cctv, “Serves you right, Miguel is a closed chapter for you, don’t come looking for him like a fool,” She mumbled leaving the guards room.

Jessica went back to her car and drove out of Miguel’s compound afterwards. Adriana stayed at the front gate but no one came out, her legs started to hurt that she stood up and walked to and fro, staring at the gate.

Then her phone suddenly ring, “Yeah Dora, what’s up?” She answered.

“Where are you? The doctor are transferring Scott to an emergency ward, he suddenly started gasping for air, we need here, Adriana,” Dora Explained while a tear dropped out of Adriana’s eyes.

“I,,I will be right there, I need to take care of something here. Please take care of the situation there for me,” Adriana replied and the call ended. 

Adriana touched the bell again, “Please tell Miguel that it’s an urgent case, I need to see-“

“Like we said earlier, he’s busy and can’t see anybody right now,” The voice cut her off completely and she was left with no choice than to wait.

Then she started feeling a drop of water on her body, one after another, a drop till it became many, it started raining.

“Why does it have to rain now?” Adriana almost cried and there was no place for her to run to avoid being drenched in the rain.

She had no other choice but to stay under the rain, “I’m doing this for Scott,” She whispered as the rain dropped nonstop on her body leaving her completely drenched.

Miguel stood at the balcony of his house, since it was a one story building, he could see everything happening on the street, “The rain is quite heavy,” He mumbled and sip in the hot tea in his hand.

Then he suddenly noticed someone at the front of his gate, “Who’s that getting wet by the rain? Why-“ He was cut off by the presence of one of his staff.

“Ms Alina said you should come and have your breakfast so you can take your drugs,” The lady simply said and he nod.

“Okay, tell her I will join her in few minutes,” with that the lady left while he glanced at the gate once again.

He brought out his phone and made a call to the security office, they picked up right away, “Who’s that woman at my gate?” He asked.

“She kept insisting that she wants to see you but we already received your order not to let her in so don’t worry about a thing, sir” Miguel narrowed his eyes to the response he got.

“My order? What order?” He demanded 

“Weren’t you the one that sent Ms Jessica here few minutes ago? You told us not to let the woman outside in here,” They responded and Miguel scoffed looking back at the gate.

His eyes drew a vertical line, “A-Adriana?” He called forgetting he was still on call, their eyes met and the look on Adriana was not pleasing.

He closed his eyes angrily with guilt then he went back to the call, “Consider yourselves fired!” He lashed out and dropped the call.

Miguel didn’t wait before getting an umbrella, he rushed down the stairs and without thinking he went out in the rain, he opened the gate but Adriana had stopped a cab and left.

Miguel stood under the rain, his hair dripping down with water, he had forgotten he had an umbrella with him that he could have used but instead he hissed.

He sank his fingers into his hair and bit his lower lips watching the cab till it was out of sight, “You should have taken an umbrella, Adriana,”

“He saw me, he saw I was in the rain but did nothing, what was I thinking? A miracle? He’s heartless and I will never go to him again,” Adriana kept muttering angrily in the cab.

She’s been trying her best not to cry but she couldn’t help it, the tears dropped one after the other, “He’s a jerk, I hate him. Why the hell did I come to him?” Adriana bit her lips till it started bleeding.

She kept hitting her chest as it hurt so much then her phone rang, she checked the caller ID and it was Dora, “I know already,” She muttered ignoring the call.

When it ended, Adriana scroll up and dialed her last option’s number.

He picked up after the first ring, “So, Have you thought about it, Adriana-“

“I will keep it short, Yes, I will marry you. Let’s get married Gilbert,”
