“For starters, they clearly don’t want you as the CEO… Mr. Clark is the main wolf who wants the company to fall so that he blames you as an incompetent CEO because when your dad was about to leave he expected him to take charge all thanks to your Casanova behavior and disinterest in taking over… but here you are”she explained to him and Emiliano knew her words were true because he saw through them just how much they hated him and for them to remove him they had to label him as the one ruining the company.
“Not just them, but someone is backing them up, this person is the mastermind who wants to kill two birds with one stone that’s why he planted his workers in your company to attack from inside my dear hubby… so now you know that those four are stabbing you in the back”she finished with a smile and Emiliano was speechless, he was aware of the four men trying to sabotage him and now his wife proved to be so clever as in to point them out even though she never even worked with them.
“How old are you again?”he asked with a frown and Sia smirked a little.
“I’m starving, take us somewhere”she proclaimed and Emiliano sighed and went with the floor and in no time both of them walked out of the conference room and Trey followed suit since he had to drive his boss, he was surprised how the madam handled the matter and by now he was certain those men would be fired and reduced to nothing for what they did.
“You can go”Emiliano said to sia who was already in the car and hearing him Sia arched her brow at him.
“Why? Don’t you want to see a good show huh”she wasn’t done yet, she still has to expose each one, if only then her ungrateful husband would have peaceful nights? Even if they didn’t share a close relationship she still promised his granny to take care of him and if granny found out Emiliano was hurting, then she would say sia was failing as his wife.
Sia felt lightheaded when she looked at Emiliano lost in thoughts and felt sad for him, he was terrible but at least he cared about people as his family that was why immediately they received a call from Carmen saying his granny had fallen sick they left everything and made a U-turn and asked Trey to drive them to the Alvaro mansion and Emiliano looked scared and worried.
“Trey drive faster”Sia said anxiously and trey nodded, by now she wasn’t even feeling hungry and wanted to see the old lady, and immediately they arrived Emiliano stormed out the car while Sia took her time since she was with Diego, and immediately she stepped out Angie rushed to her and took Diego.
“It’s nice to see you sia, I’ll take him”Angie said with a smile but Sia didn’t wait but proceeded inside and rushed upstairs seeing that the living room and the entire house was quiet and as soon as she reached at the old lady’s bedroom door she stopped when she heard Emiliano talking to his granny in a sad tone.
“Granny how did this happen… I clearly told you not to work like you do”he said while holding her hand in his, his mom and dad already called the doctor, and they said her sugar levels were high, but now she was fine and just needed to rest and when Emiliano came they lady had been invested with a sedative to rest a little.
“It was my fault, I left her alone”Carmen declared as tears couldn’t stop falling seeing the lady in such a condition.
“Mom it’s okay”this time Sia spoke as she pushed the door open and hugged Carmen consoling her.
“Sia thanks for coming”Carmen remarked and wiped her tears and let go of her, she was happy to see Sia and Emiliano at least if the old lady woke up she would see her beloved Sia and great-grandson.
“Mom where is dad?” Emiliano asked as he moved from the bed and Sia sat down as she scanned the old lady sleeping peacefully and felt saddened, the old lady had her ways of dealing with the family but here she was helpless on the bed.
“Vince is in the study, Emiliano, we would love it if you stayed overnight I know you…” Carmen said as she tried to make sense of her words hoping Sia doesn’t refuse but to her surprise both husband and wife agreed at the same time.
“Mom you don’t have to ask, for granny’s sake and health we can stay here for as long as you want”it was Sia who said assuredly and Emiliano looked at her and felt at ease, he was maybe lucky because Sia loved everyone no matter what, and it seemed his mom and granny felt the same.
All his life he hated getting married because he knew there was no woman on earth who would understand his strict granny and demanding mom but Sia got along with both women without difficulty.
Sia stayed with Carmen as they looked after granny while Emiliano went to the study room to talk to his father who requested for him and knew the questions he would ask. However, Emiliano was not going to hide anything because he knew now that his father’s friends wanted to ruin the company. Sia gave Angie instructions about Diego and like always they were happy to have the little guy back in the house, it was late, hence Sia asked Carmen to get some rest while she stayed with granny. Time passed and Sia lowered her head on the bed and fell asleep because she was a bit exhausted, but she promised to look after her.
The door creaked open, and a tired-looking Emiliano walked in only to find his wife sleeping, with a sigh, he walked to her and picked her up in his arms since he preferred not to wake her up, after reaching his old room he carefully put her on the bed and helped her take off her shoes. The jacket she was wearing seemed too tight, and therefore he made sure she took it off and set it aside.
“Troublemaker”he muttered and prepared to walk out, but something stopped him as he slowly walked back to the bed and fixed her eyes in her exposed belly, and he sat down, He’s till wanted to know just how he did it, he knew Diego was his son no doubt but how did she get pregnant because she claimed he did something terrible that night they meant and Emiliano recalled just how exactly he met Sia at Perez’s party back in Mexico. Emiliano extended his hand to Sia exposed belly and caressed her a little as his mind replayed back to how they me.
*Flashback*
The night was young as the city lights showed an extravagant display, nothing felt more eye-catching than attending a party hosted by the well-known Oscar Perez, and if you received an invitation, then it was a great owner. Emiliano just landed in Mexico for his business trip as requested by his father and the first thing he got was Perez at his hotel doorstep inviting him to his party. Emiliano never liked Mexico and anything to do with it especially attending parties but with Perez’s constant coax, he found himself at the entrance of the party house, and he had to give Perez a thumbs up because he knew just what a wild party was, to Perez life was all about beautiful women and alcohol, he was a spoiled rich brat and did as he wanted.
“Hello my man, I’m happy you came”Perez in white suit holding a glass of liquor said to Emiliano as he led him to the bar counter.
“Don’t you ever get tired of this”Emiliano said sarcastically as he looked around the place and nodded in satisfaction but he still wasn’t in the mood to stay longer.
