Sia had reached the Alvaro mansion and was surprised because the place looked like some party was going on; however, Carmen told her it was just a small family gathering for everyone to get together. She wanted Emiliano to be there, but the man said he had things to do hence he would have get them after work and Sia was left helpless.
“This was my husband and Emiliano’s grandpa… he was the best man the Alvaro’s loved but well life took him away from us”Granny said with a smile as she flipped pages from the family photo album and Sia ran her hand on the picture and had to say the Emiliano’s grandpa was very handsome in his young age and when she looked at his features, and she had to admit the man resembled Emiliano’s good looks and of course that seductive smile that the Alvaro’s seemed to have because even Angel had it which made her a little curious about angel and his parents.
“And this one?” Sia asked granny as she flipped another page and looked at granny who smiled and ran her wrinkly hand on the person and sia saw a hint of sadness on her face and she guessed it was something serious.
“This is Leonardo, Vincent’s little either and this his wife and their son Angel… apparently they died in an accident a few years back”granny said more like a whisper and sia knew any better than to ask what happened because the sadness on her face was something she didn’t like seeing on the old man’s face.
“I’m so sorry granny”sia said and hugged the old lady who just smiled and flipped a page.
“Angel was a great kid, but after his beloved parents died, he became bitter and left his family to live on his own”the old lady explained and Sia had an idea of the story because Emiliano had tried telling her, although he only said a little.
“He doesn’t like us, the only family left for him… I want my family to be together with Sia, but he makes it hard for me because he now… lives a bad life”her grandson Angel was different from Emiliano. Although Emiliano was considered as a careless Casanova, he valued his family and didn’t want anything bad to happen to his family however Angel was the opposite all he had done was being chaos to the family at times he was arrested for having dangerous drugs in his possession. Not just that but Angel insulted the Alvaro family and blamed Vincent and Emiliano for his parents’ death, and therefore he decided to leave on his own and didn’t want anything to do with the Alvaro family.
“It must be very hard for you… but don’t worry granny you have us, and I’m sure Angel will eventually come around and see the value of family”sia remarked with an assuring smile but someone else replied when the door opened and Carmen together with her mom Cristal walked in.
“That boy is a goner Sia, the other thing he’ll do when he comes back in the family is cause us more harm”Carmen said again as she elegantly walked in carrying Diego in her arms while Cristal was carrying a tray of soft drinks and cookies, and she set the tray on the table and granny smiled as she was given a glass of juice.
“Another crazy Alvaro?” Cristal asked with a chuckle and Carmen sat down while granny just kept quiet. Currently, they were in one of Carmen’s private lounge to the left wing if the mansion while Vincent and Seth were downstairs in the study room talking about business as usual.
“Yep the crazy one who has spoiled his life and now blames others… he hates my son”Carmen said with a frown as she took a sip of her drink and Sia smiled at Diego busy putting his fingers in his little mouth sucking on them.
“That’s must be tacky but just leave him or put some sense into him”Cristal like always commented like a perfect queen she was.
“Sia dear… I forgot to bring Diego’s bottle… could you kindly get it I’m sure Angie already made it”Carmen shifted her gaze to sia and sia nodded and left the room leaving the three women talking about who knew what.
Sia made her way to the stairs and had to say she recalled the first time she entered the Alvaro my soon and that time she was a stranger who everyone called a gold digger after the Alvaro fortune however with time she was now their beloved daughter-in-law and Emiliano’s trophy wife.
“Oh his wifey”Sia heard someone shout and when she looked towards the door since she was coming down the stairs she saw Angelo like always in his dashing lawyer suit and alongside was Mario looking like the older brother dressed in black jeans and gray shirt with sneakers.
“You guys?”she wondered seeing the two brothers together at the Alvaro’s anr once she reached them both the pulled her in a hug.
“We missed you baby”both Mario and Angelo said in unison as they caged her in their arms making sia to struggle to get out of their death grip.
“Okay… okay boys enough… hugging”she said as she moved away from them only for the two brothers to smile at her.
“Granny invited us and I won a case today”Angelo said with cheers and sia knew the man was in a good mood and as usual Mario smiled faintly.
“Congrats huh… Mario must be hurting”she made jokes and Mario pouted while Angelo smirked.
“Yeah, especially when he found rhea getting married hahaha”Angelo blurted out only for sia to look at him with wide eyes and Mario realized that crazy rhea had gotten married to Logan at the local court without anyone knowing.
“What? with whom?” Sia asked and Angelo frowned and knew he spoke more than he was expected to say,
“Well… I… Umm, with Logan… we bumped into them accidentally while I was defending a case there”it was weird but while he and Mario were at the court they saw rhea and Logan been pronounced husband and wife by the clerk and of course the judge was there which seemed serious.
“Wait… you didn’t know?” Mario asked and sia shook her head because she recalled telling rhea not to marry Logan a few hours ago, but the woman went ahead and did the opposite.
“Oh boy”both Mario and Angelo said nervously at the same time and wondered what Rhea was thinking to marry Logan of all men.
***
Rhea was feeling awkward because she was now Logan’s legally wedded wife not just that but she and Logan were on their way to meet his parents who were angry at Logan for getting married privately, mainly his mom who wanted a grand wedding with important guests and stuff. On the other hand, Rhea was worried because she lied to Sia by going to the court behind her back and wondered how her friend would feel once she found out she got married to Logan, and now she was Mrs Rhea Martinez.
“Relax… mom might be upset now, but she’ll get over it soon”Logan said assuredly as he took a turn with his car and Rhea didn’t reply but kept hoping her new mother-in-law would love her.
