Never in his life had Emiliano felt so aggressive than he was feeling seeing Tara standing in front of him like some innocent woman when he fully knew her true colors, he had the urge to throw her out of his office like pathetic woman she was but chose to make her suffer even more by begging him.
“Begging doesn’t suit you Tara… or should I address you as the Navarro divorced daughter”he said sarcastically and Tara who expected the insults swallowed her pride as she wiped her tears and looked up at emiliano who was now sitting in his chair with crossed legs like a boss and prince. His eyes shown nothing but hatred for her and Tara didn’t dare say anything.
“Whatever happened I’m responsible but be reasonable… my sis is innocent”tara gathered enough courage and said but emiliano had a cold expression playfully on his face, every word from her mouth was an insult to him.
“She came in my life herself so what makes you think I’m going to back down huh”he really remarked and Tara fixed her eyes on him and realized that unknowingly Sia stepped in the wolf’s den which was more like giving yourself away to the greedy hyenas to act as their food and now the situation was out of control.
“This is ruining someone’s life we are talking about… I won’t let you touch my sister because you already damaged her life but no more”her voice was low but carried enough authority however Emiliano wasn’t bothered in the slightest.
“Those words coming from you don’t suit you Tara, have you forgotten what the fuck you did?”he said and slammed his fist on the desk so hard that Tara flinched not used to loud noises, Emiliano’s chest was rising and falling from anger.
“I’m… sorry but please sia has nothing to do with anything… leave her alone.”
“If sorry was a word that would heal all and take away all the pain once said… don’t you think the world would be a better place?”He started and got up from the seat and walked to the window and added “some people are not meant to be happy and some are destined to sacrifice what they cherish for others to be happy… do these words ring a bell?”he stopped and tara grew even more tense as her very own words hit her right on the face, cold sweat broke all over her body as she fought to keep her breathing stable and to stop tears from flooding her face.
“I… I’m… I’m sorry”she fell on her knees she couldn’t fight her tears from falling like the gates had been opened, tears rained down her cheek nonstop as a knot tightened in her chest feeling suffocated.
“Women are never satisfied no matter what you give them and you are that woman… I hate you”he turned to her and spat out the harsh words having no remorse whatsoever, she could cry and beg for all her cares.
“I… I was wrong… I shouldn’t have Emiliano I regret what I did and live in shame every passing day of my life knowing full well I acted selfish… trust me I’m paying for what I did”she said with sobs as regret hit her like a stone.
“Easy to say huh, you did your worse and now watch as I do my worst… watch as I make her suffer for what you did… you should have kept her hidden like you did but I guess fate is on my side she entered my life on her own and now…”his voice was full of hatred and mockery that Tara felt like she didn’t know the monster he had turned into and now Sia would have to pay for something she did not do all because of her carelessness.
“Get out!”Emiliano yelled and tara quickly wiped her tears and got up from the floor and crouched her purse close to her chest as her head was lowered to the floor, Emiliano saw that she wasn’t leaving hence out of anger he stormed out of his office, he needed to have a strong drink even if he disliked drinking in the afternoon he had to keep his mind sane or else he was going to go crazy. Tara stood there not sure what to do and after some time she decided to leave, she knew coming to canada had its consequences but never did she imagine her sister would be involved with the very man who she tried for years to shield her from.

Sia arrived at the Navarro mansion together with mario who had kept her company the entire day, assuring her everything would be alright and as always Mario was there to give her strength and support.
“Come on that painting was horrible, how can people bid so much money over it”Mario continued his protesting then had since coming from the art exhibit show where Sia loved going whenever she was stressed.
“You don’t understand art okay, that was priceless Mario… I told you to put more money”Sia replied sarcastically and mario scoffed as they walked to the door.
“I’m a poor man Sia have mercy, that was rich people wasting their money on useless merchandize”he said with a chuckle and Sia rolled her eyes in annoyance as the front door was opened by the helper and both Mario and her walked in only to be greeted by an empty living room. She understood her dad was still at the office and Tara had gone for a walk which left only her mom who refused to talk to her. She had left little Diego with Great when she went to meet logan in the early afternoon.
“Where is everyone?”Mario asked as he carelessly dropped on the couch and one of the helper handed him a glass of water and snacks which was Mario’s little habit each time he came to visit.
“Where is mom?”Sia asked and the girl who was about to walk away stopped and smiled.
“In the private lounge upstairs, she has a guest and told me to tell you to go there once you came back”saying that the girl blew in respect and left.
“Who could it be?”Mario asked suspiciously as he scanned his glass of water and snacks he had on the small plate and Sia not knowing a thing shrugged.
“Wait here”she said and made her way upstairs, the private lounge in question was just an ordinary living room which was upstairs and specifically for guests.
*knock knock*
Sia knocked twice and heard her mom say come in from inside and with a deep exhale Sia pushed the door open to see who it was and to her surprise it was none other than Carmen sitting elegantly with little diego in her arms and Cristal sitting on the opposite sofa sipping on her red wine and once they saw her, the two women smiled for some reason.
“Come in sia, take a seat”Cristal said with a smile still shocking sia because since yesterday her mom showed her a cold shoulder not to forget she said she didn’t want anything to do with Diego.
“Well I thought after hurting my feelings you would come to apologize but you didn’t so I came here”Carmen said with a frown which Sia never expected because she was expecting carmen to be angry and despise her but here she was smiling together with Cristal.
“We are mothers Sia, yes we can get angry when our children make a mistake but what’s done is done”Cristal said softly and Sia was still confused, did her mom just act sweetly?
“Simple because Cristal and I have decided to make this wedding happen, you and Emiliano are engaged now which was not what i planned but like she said what’s done is done… your wedding is this Saturday that’s why I came here so we make preparation”carmen said and Cristal nodded and Sia couldn’t believe her eyes as the two women acted as if they knew each other for long.
“I think this is fate, I always wanted her son to be my son in law”Cristal stated.
“And I wanted her daughter to be my daughter in law and I was right because I chose you… how charming”carmen said with lugter and Cristal joined in too and Sia didn’t utter a word even when she left the two mothers building castles in the air about the wedding for some reason.
“Mom?”Sia muttered as she slammed her bedroom door shut and started preparing for a hot shower, she was exhausted and just needed to rest because her life felt like I wasn’t hers. Others were busy running it for her and making decisions she didn’t want but what could she do.
