It was a long week for sia doing the shoot and managing her work and thanks to her assistant who Mario had hired before he left, sia was able to juggle her work successfully in fact she enjoyed working with Jacques except that time Emiliano dropped by to watch. He got furious and went crazy when she was about to pose with one of the male models who had to look like some CEO, and hence she ended up doing a couple shoot with her very own jealous husband and so far, everything was ready
“You did something wrong hubby don’t deny it”Sia had teased Emiliano when both were having dinner at a private restaurant after they were done with their work. It was fun because both had a chance to spend some quality time together and would go for walks at night, especially at the beach. However the man defended his actions saying no one was allowed to touch his wife other than him so he had to do something
“You know it’s part of exercise to take walks, especially in the morning”the man had told her when both were walking barefoot on the beach as they stepped their feet in the warm cold sand holding each other while the ocean waves made serene sounds that made the atmosphere pleasant and Sia had chuckled because she hated doing workouts, although the man had been giving her lessons which ended up with her in bed whimpering beneath him
“So how long have you had the company?”she brought up the topic on a fine night when she, Emiliano and little Diego were outside to the garden having a late night outdoors picnic with some blankets spread on the well trimmed grass surrounded by beautiful leveled trees and scented candles in glass bowls containing water adding to the lovely colorful flowers she had asked the gardener to take care of and so far, he had done a good job
“I don’t know… I think my grandad started it…” Emiliano answered as he played with Diego practicing sitting on his own and Emiliano extended his free hand to feed her some fruits and Sia who was lying on the other side shielding Diego from falling ate it and smiled
“Really then it’s a long chain… and this anniversary Vince and Carmen are arranging…”she asked as she played with Diego’s hair which was thick and slightly long, her baby was five months and looked kind of grown up just as Emiliano say but to her, he was a baby, and she couldn’t wait for him to start walking
“It’s a tradition woman, dad loves to flaunt his wealth and of course hosting a large extravagant party is one way of rubbing it in everyone’s faces that he had worked hard to be where he was”it wasn’t old news that his father loved a luxurious life in fact that was why he too had been spoiled since he was little and now the anniversary of their company was approaching hence every important person in Oakville was invited that was why his manager decided to showcase the latest project at the party including the new commercial to promote their new products which would turn Alvaro industries into the most wealthy company in the entire world
“You know, meeting your parents… they are no different from mine”sia remarked and shifted around, so she could get access to Emiliano’s chest and the man moved to her and carefully made her rest her head on his broad chest while both parents secured Diego who was now playing with his car toy more like smashing it roughly on the blanket while he made sounds as if trying to talk
“Greedy, selfish, loves material things, loves showing off to the world what they have… so yes they were cut from the same cupboard”Emiliano listed the qualities with a chuckle and sia laughed softly because he was a hundred percent right, her parents also loved to show off their wealth even when she was little Seth never wanted her to act like a peasant or go to a cheap school just like Vince did to Emiliano
“But you are different from everyone… tell me how can you be so unique when you were raised in such a family”it was hard to believe how sia’s personality was, she was calm and never acted like some spoiled rich girl like the others which made him think the first time he found out about her real identity that she was just a pretender however with time his wife was the same with a pure caring heart
“You mean… I’m insane”she said with laughter and Emiliano shook his head seriously
“Nice a bit crazy, arrogant, determined, sweet a bit of bitter, a firecracker and every trait I could think of and above all a caring mother as well as a devoted wife”he said calmly and Sia laughed even more, she didn’t know why the things Emiliano said sounded funny, but she could say the same thing, the man had all the bad qualities a human can ever have in fact all the bad qualities Emiliano had were the best he wasn’t perfect and forced her to marry him, but the man was good at heart.
After that, the two talked about other things as they gazed upon the stars in the sky. The night was special as the moon shone, illuminating the entire place with its lovely light, and Sia loved spending time with Emiliano and Diego.

On the other side Rhea had a lovely not so bad week, she couldn’t complain because without Logan she had gone with her mother-in-law out baby shopping several times, and she had to say it was a breather to go out and do something without feeling pressured, again she learned a few things about Logan however she could say anything because her relationship with him was getting worse by the day. She thought she would patch things up with him at some point, but one trip to his office destroyed her chances which left her completely shattered
“Madam please you have to make an appointment”the receptionist has said to her immediately she arrived at Logan company building and since his employees didn’t know her they thought she was just a random woman
“Please man sir is busy in a meeting and asked us not to disturb him”the lady followed her even when she entered the elevator and reached to the floor Logan’s office was, her visit was to try and tell him she wanted to avoid being angry at him anymore but as soon as she pushed the door open the scene she saw left her weak
“No way”she has murmured feeling her knees weak because her saw called husband was standing there with a blacked haired woman close to him busy buttoning up his shirt, his hair was a mess
“Rhea stop!”Logan had run after her, but she quickly ran away from there and since that day she promised herself she would never talk to him again even when he came back home and tried to talk to her, she shoved him off
“The anniversary… it’s tomorrow”Logan said as he walked to the balcony where rhea was sitting gazing at the stars and like always she did move or look at him. He felt miserable and alone,
“I know… I’ll go”she replied in a cold tone and Logan sighed silently and took a sofa a bit close to rhea’s and sat there, not sure what to do. The sky was clear, and the moon was bright the tiny stars were twinkling promising a special night, but his night looked dull, he wanted some badly to hold rhea in his arms but the distance between them the gap was growing even
“Rhea the reason why I’m not…”he tried to say, but rhea cut him off with her hand
“No need to explain… I’m tired of hearing explanations… I can’t force you to do what you don’t want”she remarked seriously got to her feet and left from there, she was tired of Logan who wasn’t sure what her role was in his life but she couldn’t do anything or leave him because she promised her mother in law to always stay with logan no matter what
“Hey… yes I know”logan said over the phone cut the call and remained seated not sure what to do but he couldn’t do anything other than wait for everything to be clear then tell Rhea what was going on and why he wasn’t firing Patricia
“I’m sorry Rhea”he mumbled and leaned back his head and closed his eyes and just like that he drifted to sleep. It didn’t take long before rhea appeared and covered him with a blanket and left from there, it was good the night wasn’t so cold or the man would freeze out.
