“I… I won’t marry you mark my words”Sia said to Emiliano as they both stood in the dark night surrounded by nothing but trees and the blank sky which neither promised rain nor cold, unlike the previous night which filled the skies with nothing but rain it was completely warm, twinkling stars blanketed the sky and Sia now dressed in black dress with a scarf around her head said with some much anger and Emiliano who was standing opposite her narrowed his eyes closely.
“What makes you think that after fucking lying to my family I’ll let you off huh!”he yelled in a deep voice that was too scary not to flinch but Sia held her ground as she stared at the monster standing before her.
“I don’t care if you found out about me, but believe me I would never ever marry someone like you… this ring… this ring is pathetic”she remarked and tried to get rid of the engagement ring, but Emiliano reached for her hand stopping her from doing whatever she was planning.
“Do you think… you will escape me Sia Navarro”he said with a smirk which soon turned deadly “I warned you not to mess with me, but you chose to play ignorant, and now I’ll show you what happens when you mess with Emiliano”he specifically warned her to keep a distance and leave his life when she still has time, but she was too stubborn to listen all because she wanted to act tough, but now it was time for her to pay dearly.
“I’m marrying Logan and you can’t change that”she said and pushed him away and prepared to head back to her house, but Emiliano’s next words shattered her completely.
“Marry him, and you lose Diego”He made his point and Sia turned back and went for his throat as she tried to choke him, but Emiliano prevented by holding both her hands away from his neck.
“If you dare hurt my son I’ll make you pay!”she roared in anger and Emiliano laughed out sarcastically.
“Simple if you choose to marry that man then say bye bye to your son… let’s put it this way… your dad to save his honor and prestige of the family he will not allow you to keep a child you had out of who knows what”he started saying making Sia furious, and he added “for him to maintain his family honor he will put Diego in the orphanage up for adoption”he stopped and looked down at Sia who was now calm as her face softened hearing Emiliano’s theory. He was right somehow because her dad was not going g to make it easy for her and if he had to save his skin and business then getting rid of the hurdle in his way was what he would do at any cost.
“Logan will save Diego because… he’s more human than you will ever be”she tries to say something, but Emiliano only chuckled in pure mockery.
“Your precious Logan won’t do anything my little ghost kitten, He’s powerless in this situation… and your dad has the upper hand so if you choose to marry him Diego goes to the orphanage and when he does I’ll get him out of there and keep him to myself and I promise you… you won’t ever see him”he concluded and by now Sia had fully understood what his plans were, all along he knew about her and waited for the right moment to strike and now that she was helpless he decided to ruin everything. Yes, whatever Emiliano said was the truth because her dad would never allow her to keep Diego that was why she ran away from home when she found out that she was pregnant to prevent her very own father from harming her poor innocent child who was yet to see the world.
“My baby… he’s my child and not yours… Diego is mine do you hear me”Sia cried helplessly as she tried to fight Emiliano in any way, but the man was holding her hands so tight that she couldn’t break free no matter how much she fought him.
“You have only one choice Sia and that is to get married to me”saying that he let go of her with so much force that Sia fell back just as a black car drove by and stopped for Emiliano, and he got in and off it went. Sia remained there still in shock of her predicament, if only she had never set foot in Emiliano’s life then she would be with Diego but what was done she was going to fight back with everything she got.
“Sia, you can’t stay like this, please”Tara switched on the lights and walked in her little sister’s room only to find her sitting by the open window hugging her knees close to her chest.
“Leave me alone”Sia said without looking at Tara and Tara sighed and walked to her and rested her hand on her shoulders however Sia shrugged her off.
“Do you remember when we were young? You always used to say that no matter what or how small one can be they can fight for what they want”Tara started but Sia only shifted into a better position, after talking to Emiliano she preferred not to listen to anyone because she was too tired of everything. Her brain was too exhausted, and she just wanted to be alone.
“Please Tara not now, just leave me alone”Sia spoke and got up from where she was sitting and walked to the bed where Diego was sitting peacefully, Tara knew just how stubborn her sister was hence she needed to be tactful in talking to her. She felt bad that Sia didn’t tell her about the child because at least as her sister she would have helped her in some way but Sia chose to take the huge step alone, and now she announced to everyone that she was getting married to Emiliano which of course her dad was against and everyone knew Seth valued his status more than anything and Sia’s condition would tarnish his well-kept reputation.
“You don’t have to marry him if you want… marry Logan instead I’m… I’m sure together we will come up with something”Tara tried to make sense of the situation but Sia shook her head because whatever it was no one would help her other than Emiliano even if she had to suffer her entire life to save Diego then so be it, it was a price she was willing to pay.
“Don’t do anything, what’s done is done”only Emiliano would save her child, she knew he was only taking his revenge but for Diego, she was willing to endure anything as long as he was with her nothing mattered, yes she would marry Emiliano, but that wasn’t going to be a real marriage just for a show and after a few months she would divorce him.
“I’ll fix this, I won’t let you ruin your life Sia… you deserve better”Tara remarked in a serious tone and dried her tears which had filled her face without her knowledge and vowed to save her little sister from the monster. Leaving her little sister sleeping, Tara walked out and closed the door and wiped away more tears and clenched her fist.
“It’s time we meet again Emiliano, I won’t spare you”Tara muttered through gritted teeth and made her way to her room, she knew coming to Canada meant digging some old wounds and knew she couldn’t escape from her past no matter what, and hence it was time to meet the man again.

Meanwhile back at the Alvaro mansion Carmen nearly fainted after watching on television about who Sia was and what she was up to, she couldn’t believe sia deceived everyone and pretended to be what she was not all along.
“She toyed with our feelings mother, I won’t forgive her”Carmen said as she wiped her tears with a white cloth and the old lady didn’t say a word as she sat in silence while Angie and Lulu stood to the sides nervously, they couldn’t believe what they saw. They thought Sia was different but she turned out to be far worse than a snake.
“She was about to marry some other man mother please say something”Carmen demanded the old lady to say something because she had been quiet without showing any sort of reaction or anger but kept silent which Carmen disliked because Sia was a cunning woman who played with their emotions only to find out she was a Navarro.
“Whatever happened, had happened we can’t change anything even if we curse or show anger”the old lady finally voiced out her opinion and carmen was left speechless.
“Mother she brought little diego in our lives and made us like him but now I doubt that baby is Emiliano’s”carmen lamented coldly and the old lady shook her head in disagreement.
“The baby is an Alvaro without any doubt”she remarked and carmen looked at her suspiciously as silence fell in the room again.
