Sia groaned in her sleep as she fisted the sheets and tried to open her eyes however from all the crying she did the previous night with Rhea, see seemed more tired than usual
“Gosh”she mumbled and carelessly laid on her back and flickered her eyes open to adjust to the bright light. A lazy yawn escaped her lips as she looked around the room and blinked a few times because she forgot she spent the night in Rhea’s room however when she looked to her left side, she didn’t see Rhea anywhere, with alertness she sat up ready to jump out of bed but just at that moment she spotted a well folded white paper hence reached for it and opened it(“hey bestie no need to panic, but I stepped out for a while… need some fresh air so don’t worry… I’ll take long because I have a few things to get at my old apartment… take care”)she read what rhea wrote and signed
“Okay then”sia mumbled and crawled out of bed and decided to see if Logan was still around if he spoke to Rhea before she left. It felt weird to be in the same clothes she has worn the previous day, but she had no choice than to see Logan then drive back home to see her son
“Good morning”sia heard as soon as she climbed down the stairs only to turn around and saw Emiliano standing there. She recalled her last chat with him and felt her heart skip a beat,
“I was waiting for you to wake up”the man walked to her and pulled her in his arms. Sia was surprised because she remembered how she said so many bad things to him and accused him of everything, however the man caged her in his arms and rested his chin on her head and Sia heard him let out a sigh and felt as though he relaxed a bit. It was in such times that she felt emotional and the man in her arms was someone who knew just how to calm her down
“Are you upset with me?”she mumbled the question and Emiliano gripped her even more tight such that sia felt like she would suffocate however she was aware that he must have had a hard time without her
“Why should I? I was wrong, and I’m sorry for that”he moved away from her and held the sides of her face, sia had her eyes closed as she felt him lower close to her, his hot breath brushing against her skin causing an electric shiver to run through her body
“T… that’s not needed”she whispered with heavy breaths and tried to say more, but her voice came out as a moan and felt him connect his cold lips on her hot skin and her hands automatically ran up to his neck and pulled him closer, so she could feel his hard body against hers. Every time she got close to him felt knew more like it was the first time the two fell in love
“I want you”the man murmured traced kisses all over her exposed flesh nothing drove him insane than having sia close to him and after spending a night without her, he felt like going insane such that all he wanted was to lock her in the room and do whatever he wanted without stopping so they could settle all their arguments once and for all
“T…then…what are you waiting…”she gasped the words out and the man lifted her up, so she could wrap her legs around his waist and once sia did that, the man captured her lips as he hungrily destroyed her mouth feeling the intensity building up as their bodies cried out to be felt touched and satisfied to their heart content. Nothing mattered to them other than getting together and sia couldn’t handle it as she pulled his hair so violently while he took charge of kissing feeling and exploring her mouth with his tongue as they both moaned in passion. Emiliano lost it as he fought to get rid of her shirt and have his way, his large hands moved around her back sending an inextinguishable fire that sent both over the urge and swore they would cross the line if no one stopped them until(Someone cleared their throat) getting sia and Emiliano’s attention and they both moved away from each other as they tried to keep their breathing stable
“Umm so… we have many rooms… make yourself comfortable… Umm, yeah… I’m off now”Logan who just walked in the large hallway said awkwardly, and the couple slowly stopped what there were doing but Emiliano didn’t dare let go of Sia
“Scram”Emiliano yelled in a low angry tone because despite what Logan said about leaving the man was just standing there like a zombie grinning
“Yeah sure… enjoy… nice one sia he-he”Logan said with a chuckle winked at Emiliano who just rolled his eyes in irritation and logged grabbed his car keys and left just like that. Sia who had buried her face in Emiliano’s chest cursed as she rubbed her face against him in total shame
“Well… we have every corner of this shabby place to ourselves”Emiliano chuckled and sia hit him on the chest out of embarrassment and the morning was great for the two.
***
Jail was something Carlos hated and for years he had tried certainly to avoid getting into trouble with the law however now he was confined in a small place full of mosquitoes and a small bed the size of his thumb, all his life he had worked had to have a luxurious life, but now he was in some orange prison jumpsuit, handcuffed like a criminal and the guards were taking him to some room saying an exclusive visitor wanted to see him. After what happened the previous day, he couldn’t sleep as the thought of Rhea being his daughter kept ringing in his head. He wasn’t sure if it was happiness or what but in his life he always wanted to have someone to bother him, but jasmine shattered his dreams which made him bitter
“Your visitor is in there… don’t do anything stupid alright”the guards opened the door to a private isolated room, Carlos hesitated to go in because he didn’t Know who it was maybe it was Crawford who had come to get him out of jail however when he walked in and the door closed he stopped in his tracks seeing the beautiful lady standing before him and for the first time he saw the resemblance Rhea and him shared. For example, she had beautiful brown eyes like jasmine and her round face with a long nose like him
“Y… you came”Carlos said out of embarrassment, but Rhea didn’t smile or show any emotions
“I’m not here for a friendly visit Carlos Castillo”Rhea said in a serious tone as she gestured for him to sit and Carlos sat, although he felt a certain sharp pain in his chest at how distant rhea sounded when she knew he was her biological father
“I already deposited the money I owed you and to tell you… you won’t get out of here as long as I’m alive”rhea remarked as she dug in her purse and took out a bank receipt and threw it at Carlos. Never in his life had Carlos been treated in such a cruel manner, he was used to putting people in their place, but now he was going through the same and this time his newly found daughter was doing it,
“I’m so sorry, Rhea… I feel ashamed of my actions but… believe me… I… will never try to hurt you I promise”he said in a sad tone that rhea found moving, the man had only spent a night in the prison cell, and he was looking like hell, from his clothes to his skin then to his messy hair. Anyone knew how carlos wanted to hurt her not just that but the man tried to take advantage of her hence he didn’t deserve her pity
“No amount of begging or sorry will bring back my mom… you are a monster who was responsible for her death… people like you who have no feelings towards other humans don’t deserve to live”her words were bitter as she said with a dark expression by now Carlos counted his sins and the number was something he felt ashamed of, he didn’t know the same gurl he wanted to ruin was his very own daughter. The daughter he had always wanted but now she was wishing for his death
“I loved her…”he whispered only for Rhea to cut him off
“When you hurt someone in the name of love… that isnt real love… if you loved mom then you would have protected her, cared for her and asked her what she wanted… but Carlos Castillo doesn’t love anyone other than himeself and his money”Rhea shot with pure hate in her voice and Carlos knew his actions had landed him in trouble there was no saving him from the anger rhea was feeling
“Dont even think I’ll forgive you for what you have done… rot in hell Carlos”Rhea said got up from the chair and walked to tye door leaving carlos begging for her forgiveness however rhea didn’t look back as she walked out. The man didn’t deserve to be her father nor would he ever. She didn’t need him in the past nor did she need him now, to her Carlos was dead.
