Sia was still trying to process what the lady sitting before her had just said, but she knew when to take something to hear or not.
“I’m really sorry sia… but you were unaware that Emiliano and Tara were a thing in the last not just that, but I thought he would marry her”Jessie went ahead and added and by now Sia couldn’t take it anymore as she did everything possible to keep calm, but her anxiety levels had gone high. What Jessie was saying sounded believable seeing that she was Tara’s best friend,, but she knew Emiliano or Tara would have told her about such a thing. They knew any better than to keep such a secret from her. If they were once in a relationship, they should have told her and above all if they were in love then why on earth didn’t either of them say anything before she got married to him. Jessie looked at Sia’s confused face and went on and said more.
“I know this sounds ridiculous that your husband had a relationship with Tara and might still have feelings for her but.”
“Might have?”sia finally asked and Jessie nodded and now sia connected the dots back to her parent’s mansion, she saw Emiliano in Tara’s room and the two were so close.
“Sia I’m shocked that Tara kept this from you, I mean she should have said something better still Emiliano should have told you that he was madly in love with Tara in the past”Jessie continued saying so much and sia couldn’t keep her breathing stable and immediately slammed her laptop shut, it happened so fast that Jessie was startled at her behavior.
“Enough please… you came here for business… let’s stick to that”she preferred not to hear more because this was too hard for her to swallow. She knew Emiliano might have had some past with whomever he wanted,, but she didn’t imagine her sister was that woman. After that Jessie and sia engaged in a committed conversation as she showed her various designs for her house and the meeting went up to two hours and luckily Diego didn’t make a noise and even if he did sia would have stopped what she was doing to take care of him.
After a while Jessie finally chose what she wanted and sia informed her that she and her team would start working within a week and after that, she left. Sia didn’t forget what she just found out, the secret that her sister and husband had been hiding from her making a fool out of her but all of it she wanted to avoid jumping to conclusion until she had a word with her sister and find out the truth only then would she know what to do.
“Don’t sorry I’ll take care of him”Lulu said as soon as she rushed in Sia’s office because she had called lulu to take Diego to Carmen and granny who requested to see him which was a relief because she was going to see Tara at her villa.
“Good nick will drive you there, I have everything ready and don’t worry I’ll pick you up after I’m done”she remarked and Lulu nodded and took Diego and his baby bag and left the room with Nickolas’s guidance. Sia sighed as she looked at herself and knew what she had to do.
She had a heavy heart when she left cross stones and took a taxi which went straight to Tara’s villa which was not that far, she wanted to ask her sister many questions so that she could clarify if Jessie, her friend, was right because she knew Jessie was Tara’s good friend, so she could ask well as be right, but she trusted Tara more than anything and her sister wouldn’t lie to her.
“Thanks”sia said to the driver as soon as the car came to a stop, and she stepped out and paid her bills.
“Ma’am, but this is too much”the driver said as he counted the money, and it was a lot than he told her.
“It’s okay”sia said and walked to the gate and found it already open which meant her sister was around. The villa was nice, and the surroundings were exotic as she looked around, and the sun was setting. Sia made her way to the entrance door, and it was open.
“Weird”she mumbled when she was about to push the door open which was close to the living room but stopped when she heard Tara crying not just that, but she heard Rhea’s voice.
“Tara get a hold of yourself, I know sia wouldn’t think that of you… just tell her the truth”it was rhea who said and Sia frowned as she wondered why rhea had come to do since she and Tara weren’t so close and most importantly what truth was rhea referring to.
“It’s not that easy… What should I tell my little sister… that your husband and I had an affair in the past or that I am Emiliano’s ex lover?”Tara remarked in a frustrated tone and immediately the words were heard by sia, she froze in place as the words echoed in her ears ‘ex lover’ Si’s face went pale as tears felt on their own as the words’ Jessie said to her came flooding back making her weak in the knees.
“Emiliano loved her, and he still loves her ”the words’ Jessie said came again as more revelations flashed in her head making her head soon from all the chaos going on. She hated everything and everyone.
“It’s all a game… he… he lied to me”sia mumbled as she stumbled all over the place and tried to run far away, but her feet weren’t allowing her to move, tears had flooded her face and the pain in her heart was getting stronger.
She heard Tara say more about Emiliano and how he loved her and Sia couldn’t hear more as she managed to move her legs and ran away from there without looking back. She felt hurt and betrayed by her very own sister and husband. If they wanted to be together, then why did Emiliano marry her, was it part of his revenge like he said to her that day.
*car stops* which nearly hit her and the driver stepped out.
“Are you okay madam?” Some driver asked her but Sia was lost as she looked around and found that she had run all the way to the main road and Tara’s villa was far back. Feeling awkward and her heart racing from fright, sia wiped her tears and nodded at the man staring at her obviously thinking she was crazy.
“T… taxi?”she asked in a small voice and the driver nodded.
“Yes madam, taxi”he said and without wasting time sia opened the door and got in surprising the driver who had no idea what was going on, and hence he looked around the busy road and entered to the driver’s seat and glanced back at sia who was lost in thoughts.
“Where to miss? he asked and waited for a reply, but the lady didn’t say anything until a few minutes past did she speak.
“I don’t know”Sia mumbled her voice could barely be heard, and the driver frowned but started the car anyway. He had dealt with women like her, disturbed because their lovers broke their hearts or family issues, and hence he would figure it out where to take her.
While Sia was lost, Emiliano was happy as he looked around the house to make sure everything was set for his surprise. He wanted to take her somewhere, but he decided to make lovely memories for her right in their home so that whenever she wasn’t around, she would recall the moments with him and smile.
“Everything is perfect”he said with a smile as he looked at what he had prepared for her, he went for dinner for two and the food prepared for her, he went for dinner for two and the food prepared by himself. And he hoped sia would like everything, other than that he had a lot of surprises for his wife. He made sure to get her favorite fresh flowers and knew Sia would jump like a kid once she saw them and he was looking forward seeing her cute innocent smile that he loved very much.
“Sir, the decorations are in place”it was trey who walked to his boss and was surprised to see him smiling like a child, it was rare to see emiliano smiling so much and trey had noticed his boss only smiled when it was something to do with Sia.
“Good, you can go”emiliano said and walked upstairs to freshmen up before sia showed up, trey’s gaze followed as his boss rushed upstairs and shook his head as he walked towards the door, his work was done and he and his team already made everything ready and he hoped that whatever his boss was planning to smoothly without anything going wrong.
