When morning came Sia found herself alone on the bed and with a sigh she gathered her hair in a bun and dragged her sore body off the bed. She knew she blew it last night but something about Emiliano’s actions made her think things through. At some point she felt like he was making love to her without actually involving his feelings. She didn’t know why but she felt like some sort of get away lover. He was acting as if the man had someone or something in mind which made her think about why Logan had told her earlier about Emiliano’s ex lover. Sia didn’t want to make assumptions but the strange feeling was too overwhelming for her to overcome and actually thinking about it she wanted to know if he had a past. Did he love someone in the past? was it so bad or what happened to the woman in question.
She couldn’t stop her thoughts or her mind from running wild and felt irritated.
“I have to wear something reaching up to my neck”she whispered as she ran her fingers against her neck and felt bite marks and when she looked at herself in the mirror she found more and cursed because the man just ruined her day, how was she going to hide those because even make up wouldn’t fix it. With a sigh of defeat she made her way to the closet to look for something she was going to wear to the office and after she was satisfied with the clothes she had chosen did she head to the bathroom for a hot shower. She still wanted to know where Emiliano was but judging by the wet shower room she guessed he went to the office early. Of course he was obviously upset and disappointed with her for what she did to him however she didn’t think much as she focused on bathing herself. The hot water stung each time it landed on the bite marks reminding her of her night with her husband which turned disastrous.
“You won’t have breakfast?”lulu asked sia who had just gotten down stairs now rushing go out but she stopped her when she her boss didn’t seem like she would stop for breakfast.
“No can’t do, I’ll have it at the office”so replied in a hurry, grabbed her car keys and stormed out of the house leaving Lulu standing there with a worried expression because even Emiliano said no to breakfast saying he would have it at the office and again Sia said the same thing. Were they fighting again because Emiliano had left earlier than usual for the office.
“I need to call Mario”lulu murmured and made her way to her room which was just downstairs, since that encounter with mario he told her to inform him about everything that goes on with Sia and Emiliano hence this was something she needed to tell him.

Sia couldn’t keep her eyes on her computer screen nor could she focus on anything other than the insecurities she was feeling, she had gotten to her office on time, had a private meeting with a few important people who wanted to invest in her company and one of them was a nice lady who was the wife to one of the richest men in Oakville and like always she hated how such people went on flaunting what they had and their successful husband. She couldn’t care less about their private life the two women kept telling her but for business sake she was willing to tolerate them.
“Ahh! I need a break”she groaned angrily and decided to go out but dropped the idea because she had pending work and going out was out of the question. Her secretary had already delivered multiple cups of coffee but she could keep calm and now she was waiting for her coffee to stop the excruciating headache she had since morning and just then her office door opened and with relief she looked up but the person who came in wasn’t the one she was expecting.
“Hello madam, its a beautiful day”Rhea cat walked in wearing a pink designer off shoulder dress reaching just above her knees with her brown hair tied in a neat bun with her dress matching her her heels carrying a white purse.
“I guess you are now free to do as you want huh”Sia scoffed as she took the coffee from Rhea who had a huge smile in her face.
“Yeah yeah nice office, you know mario told me how amazing it came out so I came to take a look and I’m impressed”she said in one breath while looking around the place and sia could see the glimmer in her eyes and smiled.
“You look worried, what’s up with you”Rhea asked as she settled down and fixed her cat like eyes on her best friend looking as if she just came out of a Lion’s mouth.
“It’s nothing I’m just exhausted”sia whispered and held her head in her hands and let out a sigh, Rhea felt guilty because despite everything she kept her friend in the dark about Emiliano’s past not like she didn’t want to but because if she went on and told Sia then everything would be ruined including her married relationship with Emiliano which was just starting to blossom.
“Sia, I know you hate being married to him but could you please try to be with him and I know with…”Rhea started saying in a soft voice but sia slammed the cup of coffee so hard on the table that she cut her off from saying more.
“I’m sick and tired of everyone telling me what to do, its enough I’ll do what I want from now on… if I want to stay with him or not is my decision to make!”she yelled so much that her headache became even more painful making her irritated with everything and everyone around her. She has had enough of them choosing for her and nobody cared about what she wanted or her scars… she wanted to forgive Emiliano for what he did although it wasn’t his fault but Rhea was aware of the pain she had gone through when she got pregnant, the trauma she had to overcome just to be where she was. Rhea stared at Sia and hated everything that had happened in the past, she was ruined for doing something big, Sia wasn’t ready for such trauma and everyone thought she was fine just because she put up a happy and tough front but in reality she cried herself to sleep every night and no one bothered to ask her how she was feeling therefore she just hoped emiliano didn’t do something that Sia was afraid of and judging by her behavior she was in a horrible start.
“Sia, just tell him what happened”Rhea said in a low tone being aware of her words because it wasn’t easy for Sia to bring up the issue on her own.
“Why did you come here?”sia ignored Rhea’s words and asked what she came to her office to do when she has work with her father.
“Uncle gave me a day off so I came to spend it with you”she replied with a grin and sia widened her eyes in shock, her dad Seth Navarro had just given one of his employees a day off now that was something new.
“Wow, did he win billions forget that did the son rise from the west”her dad was a man who thought going a day without working would lose millions hence a minute to him was priceless.
“I dunno but you know the issue with your little bro I guess they have to give back to mexico”Rhea said and Sia now fully got I, her parents mentioned going back because of her little brother who was still in school and alone that was why they asked tara to stay back and she was happy about it.
“Yeah I know”sia said faintly and got up from the chair to stretch her legs.
“So since detective Alicia is coming to Canada very soon I was hoping tonight we could party, we didn’t throw a bachelorette party so now is the time… I’m feeling naughty”Rhea did a dance while sitting and sia couldn’t help but laugh at how silly she looked. To be honest Rhea had always been the quiet one among the three but hanging out with Mario had really done something to her.
“I’m mad at her she shouldn’t set foot here”she has called her friend Alicia for help but the woman didn’t call her back, Alicia was the crazy one who preferred staying in London because she didn’t like to live under rules like her older brother wanted hence she spent her crazy time there.
“Finish up fast, my dancing levels are getting higher”rhea teased and sia shook her head and got to work, she liked the idea of going to the club and loosening up a bit.
Well without knowing Emiliano and Angelo were also planning to go to the same club to loosen up.
