Alberto studied the floor plan of the location Sonia had disclosed, well aware that venturing there alone could be deadly. Doubts lingered in his mind, whispering the possibility of a carefully staged trap awaiting him.Determined to minimize risks, Alberto diligently organized his team, assigning them strategic positions to cover the perimeter and key angles. He understood that when dealing with Sonia, being prepared for the unexpected was sure. His men discreetly disguised themselves, blending seamlessly with the surroundings as they quietly surveyed the environment.With cautious optimism, Alberto hoped that Sonia simply wanted to engage in a conversation, an encounter between the two alone, where his men would have no reason to enter the building. Nevertheless, aware of the potential threats that lay ahead, he had already devised a signal, an unspoken communication to be done should the situation take a turn for the worse.Alberto arrived at the location provided by Sonia, steppi
"Alberto, please don't leave me," Sonia whispered, tears welling up in his eyes. She held his hand tightly as he lay there with her eyes closed.Sonia's voice cracked as she sobbed, "I still love you, Alberto. Please, open your eyes and don't leave me."Struggling to sit up, Alberto replied with a weak smile, "I can't believe I'm going to be a father."Sonia's emotions shifted suddenly, and she slapped his shoulder lightly. "You should have told me he was gone, you silly man."Alberto's touch was gentle as he caressed her face, making her blush. "I loved hearing you say that you love me," he said softly.She stared at his chest still bleeding, Sonia's concern grew, and she asked, "Does it hurt?"He shook his head, a faint smile on his face. "Not at all. Let's go." he replied tapping on the bulletproof vest underneath strapped with a pint of blood.Two weeks earlier, Sonia found herself at Arnold's estate. The sky was already dark, and she had requested to use the restroom. Doubts na
Alberto dialed Sonia's number, but instead of her voice, a strange number picked up and informed him that she was in the hospital.Alberto, panicked, didn't bother listening to any further explanation and immediately rushed to the hospital.When he arrived, he found Sonia peacefully sleeping. Fear engulfed him, and he grabbed hold of a passing nurse, demanding answers about her condition. His behavior caused a commotion, and the nurse became angry with him."Sir, she is just sleeping," the nurse calmly informed him."Then why isn't she at home if she's sleeping?" Alberto roared in frustration."Excuse me, sir, may I speak to you privately?" a doctor intervened, trying to diffuse the situation. Alberto reluctantly released his grip on the nurse and followed the doctor to his office.Inside the office, the news that Sonia was pregnant hit Alberto like a tidal wave, leaving him speechless and astonished. He couldn't believe it; the realization that he was going to be a father filled him
Sonia had locked herself at home for three days. She laid on the bed and looked at her pictures with Frank and Lisa, she smiled knowing her childhood was great with all the love and care that they had showered on her. But then she saw herself in Lisa' place with her child and there was no Alberto, the child didn't look happy. She became scared, what if her child finds out the truth and hates her forever. She packed her things and the card Arnold gave to her and left. Raphael notified Alberto of her presence of which he came, after giving him the card she turned to leave. Before she could get to the gate, she turned back crying and ran into Alberto's arms. Alberto felt so happy and complete, he caressed her head. "It's alright" he said, "I'm so sorry, she muffled, "I have already forgiven you" he couldn't stay mad at her. When he saw her saw running back to him, his heart leaped for Joy. He had waited for this moment for days and it finally came. He wipe
Alberto anxiously waited for Sonia at Vin's mansion, ensuring they maintained a low profile to avoid raising suspicions from Arnold. They knew that Arnold had worked tirelessly for everything to fall into place, and they didn't want their efforts to go to waste. Instead, they planned to put on a convincing act for him."I met Luca, and he was completely shocked," Sonia revealed to Alberto as she joined him."Hmm," Alberto responded, but deep down, he disliked when she talked about other men. He wanted her to see only him.Sonia proceeded to explain the details of the plan, pointing out the sniper's position and the room where she would be stationed. She expressed her disdain for Arnold's strategy, calling it "pretty lame."As Sonia unveiled Arnold's plots, it became clear that their main objective was to gather information from him to solve the mystery surrounding him and Almano. Sonia, taking charge, instructed Raphael, "Listen, Raphael, the sniper they are hiring is from the milita
Arnold was brimming with excitement as he believed that Alberto was no more. It felt as though all his troubles and worries had vanished into thin air. A wide smile adorned his face, reflecting his anticipation for this long-awaited day."Game over," Arnold declared, taking a seat in his study room.A man walked into the room and informed him, "Sir, the sniper we hired is dead.""No problem. That's the least they can do to avenge Alberto," Arnold casually replied.With Alberto out of the picture, Arnold felt invincible. Sonia was no longer a threat to him either, as he had devised a plan to eliminate her before her hatred for Alberto subsided."Invite Sonia for a party this week. It's time for her to meet her end," Arnold instructed the man."Okay, Sir," the man nodded and left the room.Arnold intended to throw a grand celebration to mark the downfall of the Troy family. "What a wasted generation," he muttered, contemplating the outcome.Having considered Alberto his greatest adversa
Alberto patiently waited for Sonia to finish her work, observing her from across the room. Finally, she stretched her body and let out a satisfied sigh."Done," Sonia announced, looking at Alberto expectantly."Okay, let's go," Alberto said, handing her bag to her. "Where are we going to?" Sonia asked, packing her things."To meet someone," Alberto replied with a hint of mystery in his voice. Sonia raised an eyebrow and shrugged her shoulders.Little did Sonia know, Luca had been eagerly waiting for their arrival at the coffee shop. Alberto had promised to introduce Sonia to Luca, and when he saw her enter the shop, a nervous smile spread across his face.Alberto pulled out a seat for Sonia and took the one beside her. As they settled in, Luca broke the silence, "Hi Sonia.""Hi Luca," Sonia greeted him in return.With a slight stutter, Luca asked, "Uhmmm, well, how are you?"Sonia cut straight to the point, replying, "Go straight to the point."Taking a deep breath, Luca apologized, "
A mysterious number appeared on David's phone, catching him off guard. He hesitantly answered, "Hello?"Silence greeted him from the other end."Who is this?" David inquired, trying to gather some information.Again, there was no response. These strange calls had been happening for years, leaving David perplexed each time. He often wondered who could be behind them.Shaw, David's long-lost brother, disconnected the call as soon as he heard David's voice. Shaw harbored a deep sense of shame for the things his brother, Nicholas, had done, making it difficult for him to face David. However, he couldn't resist the urge to at least hear from David in some way.***The holiday season arrived swiftly, and June packed her bags to spend time with Sonia, her close friend. But when June reached Sonia's house, she discovered that Sonia wasn't there. She immediately dialed Sonia's number."Hi, Sonia," June greeted her."June, how are you?"
