“W… what are you doing?” Sia rushed in as she proceeded to pick up all the baby clothes scattered all over the floor.
“He wanted this okay… He’s a cutie”Emiliano said with a smile and clicked more pictures of little Diego who seemed to be enjoying whatever Emiliano had subjected him to, Sia with anger snatched the phone from Emiliano who whined but still kept the smile on his face.
“I packed all these clothes for him because he likes changing now and then… but… but why have you made them all dirty”she didn’t even know what to say to him, it was like he had some fashion parade staring Diego and everything single outfit she had packed for her son, Emiliano had him wear including the tiny little shoes she bought on her way.
“Relax, he wanted this as it is, he’s my son after all”Emiliano said with a chuckle and got up from the floor yesterday was kneeling and Sia felt like strangling him to death.
“You just wasted all his clean clothes, Emiliano, we are not going home but to your granny and… and you… you did this!”she was furious at him and Emiliano could see it by how her chest was rising and falling steadily, her breathing was so audible that he could actually hear her pounding heart from where he was standing.
“So… I’m rich I can’t buy the entire baby store… look at him, he’s now ready”again he couldn’t help but cuddled at what he had done, Sia screamed in frustration as she wanted to pounce on him and rip his head off, but she took deep breaths to calm herself. The man was annoying she only asked him to watch Diego, and it hadn’t even been twenty minutes since she left and Emiliano had made Diego change into five to six different outfits and to her surprise he did it right because Diego was nicely dressed judging by the many pictures he took of him.
“Wait… how did you know how to get his diaper on?”she asked with narrowed eyes and Emiliano frowned and snatched his phone from her.
“Just say thank you”Emiliano remarked and walked away and again Sia nearly felt like killing him but whatever it was it had to wait for now she had many things to do and that was going to the Alvaro mansion because Carmen and granny wanted to see both her and Diego hence killing Emiliano had to wait for another day.
“Fine just give me your car keys and don’t follow us”she said and walked to him and retrieved the keys from the nightstand and glared at him
“You know it’s not your car right.”
“You… you are annoying”she said took Diego and of course the man had dressed him in cute clothes such that Sia couldn’t help but chuckled as she walked out of the room leaving Emiliano scrolling on his phone.
“True, talk to me”Emiliano said seriously immediately he answered his phone and trey was calling.
“Sir… we have an issue at the office”trey spoke from the other side.
“On my way”he said and cut the call, he quickly needed to get to the office, but first he had to shower and of course go back home, but the woman had taken his car.
“Ahh… she’s so annoying”he remarked in frustration as he ran his hand in his hair thinking about what to do, but he knew he had to call Nickolas and now thinking about it, the vile woman was driving the car.
***
After Sia had said goodbye to Mrs Johnson she quickly left from there and since she was driving herself, she had to be careful knowing full well Diego was with her she needed to be careful and to her luck she arrived at the Alvaro mansion and pulled out at the front entrance and to her surprise she found like the entire stuff or rather say servants lined up as if they were waiting to receive some president and as soon as her car stopped one of the guards rushed to open the car door for her while Carmen who just rushed out made her way to the back seat and took Diego.
“I thought you would come with Emil?” Carmen asked as she held Diego carefully in her arms and Sia joined her as they walked inside.
“Well he had an urgent meeting I guess”she replied because she had no idea what Emiliano was up to, and she didn’t care at all.
“Look who’s here… my precious grandson”Vince walked to them as soon as they entered the living room, and he snatched Diego from Carmen who frowned and Sia argued a brow secretly. Still, she wasn’t used to Vince being all nice to her because in the past her always appeared to be hostile towards her, but now he treated her like a trophy daughter-in-law.
“Come sis… I’m sure you had a wonderful time at Elena’s house… she’s so fine if Emiliano”Carmen said with a smile as they made their way upstairs and Sia nodded because she indeed had a wonderful time there, thank lady was nice and kind-hearted not just that she had a chance to see the Casanova’s other side.
“Yes indeed, Mrs Johnson is really nice… I just feel bad about her son”sia said as soon as they entered the guest lounge and Carmen shut the door and walked further in and both sat down, sia looked around and smiled but got confused after seeing the various boxes on the table.
“You are right she’s a bit lonely due to the loss of her son… I feel bad every time I see her… her husband has died in an accident and a year later her son died too… poor woman she was devastated”Carmen said in a sad tone and took one of the boxes and Sia leaned back.
“Her son died last year I can understand her agony.”
“Last year? no no it was four years ago… he died in an accident and since then, she saw Emiliano as her son”at first she was jealous when her son started spending a lot of time with Elena, she thought another woman was trying to take her son from and wanted so badly to hurt Elena but one day she found out that the lady in question was traumatized due to the loss of her husband and son hence Emiliano had filled that son void.
“You mean she…”sia couldn’t believe it, the lady looked normal and healthy she was always smiling so how come she’s still trapped in the past thinking her son died a year ago when he died four years ago.
“We have tried to make her see a doctor, but she doesn’t like that that’s why Emiliano is always there once in a while at least his presence makes her feel better.”
“But she’s always smiling like everything was okay”since the day she went there Mrs Johnson had shown her nothing but happiness, she was always smiling no matter what which now made Sia think twice.
“She hides her pain, behind that smile there is pain Sia… that’s why we need to treat her with love”Carmen said just as Angie walked in with a tray of orange juice and handed one to Sia who took it and sipped some while still thinking about what Carmen had just said. Maybe she was right, some people hide their pain with just a smile.
“When I think about it, she’s no different from Emiliano… Sia. I know my son puts up a cold front but believe me wasn’t like this in the past… he used to smile genuinely and whenever he was around the house because more lively but now… but now he seems broken”Carmen was almost in tears as she spoke and Sia listened not sure what to do, Emiliano was Emiliano so full of himself and never valued anyone so why did everyone think he was a saint because even Mrs Johnson said so many nice things about him.
“He acts tough but he isn’t.. he needs someone to love him and I know you are that someone Sia.”
“Well… I…”Sia hesitated not sure what to tell her, if only she knew that their marriage was not going to work that very soon they would go their separate ways because she knew she had no future with him but now these people kept on making her promise to stay with Emiliano against her will.
