Sia rolled her eyes as soon as they arrived at some private Navarro farm house which was like their past hide out when they first came to Canada as suggested by rhea who had called her early in the morning asking for forgiveness. Sia walked inside,
“I’m sure Diego will love it here”they walked to the lounge and rhea had a smile on her face as she looked at the interior then shifted her eyes around the place. Sia smiled as she carefully laid Diego on the round which couch because he was fast asleep, and hence she wanted to avoid waking him up considering the fact that her son has slowly started turning into a cry baby not unless Emiliano was there then did he stop.
“You went against me… but you had the guts girly”Sia said with a chuckle and rhea knew there were only a few people who couldn’t stay mad at her and Sia was the first one. No matter what she did, so always supported her in everything which made their friendship even stronger.
“I had to marry the man… you know I’m annoyed with him, so this was me risking my peaceful life”rhea remarked as she tied her hair in a bun and smiled more because they were going to soak in the pool and have some quality time together away from Logan and of course Sia was running away from Emiliano
“So… that’s nice… do you think… well, you two could…” Sia straightened up as she tried to find the perfect words to use so that she didn’t sound like a pervert,, but she knew the way of arranged marriage, forced marriage or marriage of compromise. Just like her marriage with Emiliano, she was unaware that she would fall in love with her man or ever knew the man would fall for her too. And now the same happened to rhea but in case there was no tension between Logan and her which meant the two could actually learn to live together despite their differences.
“Nope Sia… I don’t think I want to go that path… it’s a bit scary… just take a look at Mario”Rhea went on and said as she started removing their swimming attires from the bag they carried and of course already informed the helpers to get everything ready including making a tiny camp tent for little Diego since it was slightly sunny outside.
“What’s happening to him… I saw his weird behavior back at the Alvaro’s, and it was something I haven’t seen before”sia knew Mario very well and the man was always cheerful and didn’t miss a chance to crack a joke or criticize others but when they met at the Alvaro’s he was like a complete different person, as if life has been sucked out of him for some reason.
“It’s very complicated, but I’m sure he will come to you… maybe tell you what’s happening”she already knew what was happening to Mario even the man had no idea how he got so careless as to let a stranger dominate his life. And since that Mario had lost all reason to do anything, he was utterly shattered.
“I guess I’m the only one kept in the dark”Sia sighed and hoped Mario would confide in her, and maybe she could come up with a solution to his problem if not then it was up to the man to straighten things up.
“Umm… Rhea… it just the two of us, why all this?” Sia asked suspiciously when she saw the servants taking a few plates outside not just that, but there was ine more swimsuit which meant there was an extra guest she didn’t know of.
“That would be mine”sia heard a familiar voice and with alertness she turned around only to see Tara standing there wearing blue jeans’ jumpsuit with black heels however that didn’t surprise sia but the fact that she was also wearing the same outfit although hers had a different design.
“Hey Tara, finally you came”Rhea said with cheers as she walked to Tara and both hugged it out only for Sia to frown as she walked to Diego and sat beside him to divert her mind from her sister. Clearly this was the first time the two were seeing each other after she found out that Tara and Emiliano had some past together. She knew whatever happened she had no rights to feel jealous or be upset about it because that was Emiliano’s past she wasn’t there, and it was not like Emiliano knew Tara had a sister or the fact that she would marry the man.
“I… I know you don’t want to… see me… but I miss you little sis”Tara said in a soft low voice looking at sia who didn’t even bother to look at her, Sia’s eyes were glued at Diego as she felt her eyes water, a knot tightened in her chest feeling like she was suffocating. Yes, she was upset with her sister but for how long would she continue to pretend, knowing full well she loved Tara more than anything in the world? Rhea was standing from away because she had planned the trip because she wanted the two sister to talk things over, and now she just hoped everything would fall into place.

Meanwhile the afternoon was blissful After the talk they had in the morning Logan and Emiliano decided to get some cold drinks to go with the perfect sunny day, and hence they decided to take a trip to the hotel resort which was the first place the two met when Logan came to Canada and that place was where they had warned each other now to step beyond their boundaries.
“I doubt that will work… the temporary business I set up in the states is not like the one here”Logan replied to Emiliano’s question about the small business Logan had in the states and according to him, he just started it as a back-up.
“When did you meet Crawford?”Emiliano asked because he was curious to know how and intelligent man like Logan would gave anything to do with the likes of Crawford who was nothing but a piece of trash.
“Well met at his casino… didn’t know it was his… but soon I had a few drinks with the man and all”Logan remarked nonchalantly as he sipped on his gold beer and Emiliano nodded just as they heard noises coming from outside only to see Angelo rush him together with the security who were asked to keep guard.
“Let him in”Emiliano waved them off and Angelo shrugged and walked to the two men with a cold expression which made Logan arched his brow at him.
“So… you two are friends huh… Mr. Martinez or whatever you call yourself… are you using Rhea for your benefits”Angelo said coldly as he took a bottle of beer opened it and gulped down a little before slamming it back on the table only to find Emiliano and Logan staring at him awkwardly.
“What? I’m thirsty and as it is… I’m tired from all the work, so I came to have a good time just like you guys”Angelo said with a smile that no one found appealing at all,
“Is he always like this?” Logan turned to Emiliano and asked and Emiliano only shrugged and sipped on his cold drink,
“I’m perfect… I’m the best if you ask anyone”Angelo said with a smirk.
“Oh… perfect with women huh”he lamented followed by a sarcastic chuckle that had Angelo frowning and Emiliano smiling faintly as he went quiet and took out his phone. He wanted to call Sia to make sure they arrived safely he preferred not to let her go, but she insisted, and hence he had to, but now he was feeling uneasy especially with Carlos still lurking around somewhere. He knew what to do but one thing was certain he was hiding the truth of what Carlos was to Rhea, he had no idea what Rhea would do if she found out exactly who Carlos was.
