He doesn't even recognize that what he believe is not true."Don Emilio please let me out..." She beg not for herself but for her child. She feared that she would be taken by the Don to be detained somewhere."Okay, but there is one thing that I want to know. Where is my wife?"

A female voice answered Mateo's phone." Hello who is this?" There was a moment of silence before Lorraine was able to respond. She was thinking the voice sounded familiar. What is that woman doing answering her husband's phone."I am about to asked the same thing you? Why are you holding my husband's phone Where is Mateo?" Lorraine temper building up. Still baffled about the woman's familiar voice. She tried to search in her memory about the person behind the voice. "Oh...oh I'm sorry he is sleeping after working ..." The woman voice was cut off then a moment of silence followed which made Lorraine boil with temper."Hello! Hello Mateo are you there?""Sweetheart what's the fuss, why are you yelling?" Mateo's voice replied "Who is that woman who answered your phone? Why is she holding your phone ?""What woman? Oh my God! Look Sweetheart it's not what you think. I can explain.""Sweetheart my foot!

"Sweetheart please believe me that woman on the phone was the one who took my suitcase by mistake she had to travel back to return the suitcase, in time for us to settle the disputes of the partner company and seal the deal to make a multi billion dollars merger." But since the expression on Lorraine didn't change Mateo feared that he had blew it all up."Are you telling the truth 'case one call only I can confirm if you're telling the truth? Because it sounds so weard that it took so many days for her to realized that she took the wrong suitcase.""Yes! I found it strange too but she said she only realized she took the suitcase that doesn't belong to her when she cannot open it and she traveled a long way to a remote areas that doesn't have a good communication signals.""Then why did she answer your phone when I called? You gave it to her?""You know the woman was mysterious too. She came to my hotel room in an unholy hour. It was just good thing that my PA and I was discussi
Loraine walk in to the family's spacious living room there's so much have changed the position and the furnitures itself. She had been living on her own apartment with her bestfriend Sandra and it's been months she had set foot on her parents mansion. But it's never welcoming after her grandmother died. "Well it's about time that you show your face in here!" Her stepmother said with an annoying greeting. As on cue her half-sister Zeinah added smirking. " Well, well, well the prodigal daughter has returned!!" " Speak for yourself Zee, at least I earned what I spend instead of spending the money that isn't rightfully mine like a beggar with open palms. " Loraine retaliated. "You...!" Zeinah attempted to slap Lorraine. " Stop it you two! If you can't keep your mouth shut Zee! You may go to your room." Her father issued the warning to her sister. Which made Lorraine wonder does miracles do happen? Or is her father want something from her to gain her symphaty? So he sided with her.
Loraine in distress after leaving the Adams mansion decided to go-to her boyfriend's apartment seeking sympathy. She massage her cheeks still aching from the slap her father gave her. Her tears fall again, this is the first time her father raise his hand on her. A hanky was offered to her by the driver. " Where to Miss Loraine? " He looked at her with sympathy. Loraine grew up with him who offered her a father figure, which she cannot find in her own father. Who is busy making his wife and their daughter Zeinah happy to their hearts content. But they are not contented in what he can provide them. If only he knew. "Just drop me off the corner, I need something for this." She points towards her cheeks. " Don't worry Miss Loraine you still look beautiful, you just have to balance the shade." He gesture with his hand to slap the other side his face. They both laughed at his joke. "That bad huh!" He drop her off at the spot she said, and reminded her to take care. She walks a fe
