"Why you keep on pushing yourself in our life? Aren't you afraid that I might get you arrested for being my husband's mistress?!" Nerissa shouted at Isabella. "Mateo and I are still married. You are the real mistress here, Nerissa! You took everything from me. My child, my husband, everything that should belongs to me!" Isabella said while crying. Nerissa, smirked and walked towards her. "Don't you see the ring in my finger? Mateo and I are married. You're gone by years, and now that he's mine, you doesn't have anything to get back with, not even your one and only daughter!"
View MoreMateo caresses the pictures using his fingers. It's a picture of himself, Isabella and their daughter, Amara, when they're still complete. He took a heavy sighed and put down the photo on his table, then he hold the wine and drank the wine there. Nerissa after arriving at the mansion late at night tried to find where Mateo is, 'cause she can't find her at their room. Her eyes then landed on the door of his office here at the mansion, and she pushed the door open. When she entered the room, Mateo sat at his desk with a glass in his hand, and soon enough she realized that he's already drank. "Mateo, why you are drowning yourself in alcohol again?" she asked, frowning slightly. She's about to help him get out from behind the desk but her eyes caught something else. It's the picture. She picked it up and examined its contents, and her blood started to boil instantly."Isabella..." Mateo croaked weakly. Nerissa crumbled the picture in her hand, while looking at Mateo with pure hate. Her
In the quite office of Isabella, Elijah entered, a smile plastered across his face as usual as he approached her desk to speak. "Good morning, beautiful lady. You are too focused on your works again. Your beautiful eyes look tired." Isabella looked over at him with her own bright and happy smile, though it wasn't the full one she'd been wearing since the last few days. "Isabella, is there's something wrong? I just noticed that you seemed so... distant and distracted." She was quiet for several seconds before finally replying to his question.The truth is, her mind had been drifting ever since her conversation with Mateo, and the sudden arguments with Nerissa. In addition that she's feeling frustrated to still feel something specific for her Mateo, even though Elijah's always there to show that he's the one capable of loving her. "Ahm, I'm just thinking about my daughter, Amara. It's been months, yet the investigation still didn't go along very well. You know that I need strong evid
"Arghh! That damn Isabella, she really never failed to ruin my day." Nerissa throw a pillow at the wall in frustration. She's on Nicholas condo, because it's only the place where she can freely vent her anger, without thinking that someone might know her real attitude, except for Nicholas who's now quitely staring at her. "I hate her! I really hope that she just died!" Nerissa yelled, as she drink the wine on the glass in just one gulp. "How dare her flirt with my husband? She's really still trying to destroy us, Nicholas!" she added. Nicholas took a heavy sighed, he's tired to Nerissa's tantrum and honestly, he had no energy left to deal with her. "You always keep on blaming Isabella, without thinking if Mateo didn't like what's happening. Do you think that it's not Mateo who's been making advances towards Isabella?" Nicholas asked, making Nerissa's brows furrowed. "No! Mateo loves me, and it's Isabella that was making advances toward him," she said, crossing her arms over her ch
"Oh, Mr. Villanueva, do you need something?" she asked politely as she turned around and saw his dark expression. "Why are you doing this, huh?" he asked with anger written all over his face. Isabella's face showed confusion."Doing what?" she asked, just trying to make him more annoyed. "Don't you dare play with me Isabella. How dare you even find a chance to show your face in front of me after what you've done?" Isabella pulled her arm away from his grip and looked at him sternly. "Here we are again. You keep on telling me those things that I've done that's actually will never be my intention, without thinking how easily you did let go of our marriage?" she questioned with cold eyes."Because you deserve to know all your mistakes! You deserve to be slap by the fact that you are the reason why our family is no longer complete," he answered coldly back. "Are you just stupid, Mateo?" Isabella chuckle a little. "Don't you think that it's actually your fault? You should better know
At the conference room, Isabella can't help but smirked when the door opened again revealing Mateo who's obviously surprised to see her there. Mateo actually didn't expect that NexusSphere will send Isabella to handle this kind of negations, but he still manage to walked confidently and dit across the chair where Isabella was already sitting down with an unreadable face. Isabella's thinking about her last conversation with Elijah about this matter.
Nerissa's tapping her fingers on the table, he's waiting for Mateo to comeback, the sight of Isabella really didn't fail to make him irritated. She's sipping on the glass of wine when her phone rings and she looks at it, frowning. "Gosh! What happened to you Nicholas, I thought you are going to follow here too?" she says in an annoyed tone of voice. "There's a sudden emergency. Besides, I am sure that you don't need me there, since you are with your husband," Nicholas replies, his tone as sarcastic as he can manage."If you only knew what's happening here!" "Hm, what? Don't tell me Isabella's there? You are just irritated everytime she's around. So, tell me... What did she do this time?" Nicholas asks, why looking at some documents that he will use to plant another issues to Mateo's company secretly and end up benefiting him and his mother. "That fucking woman is really an attention seeker. If I am not mistaken she's even intentionally making Mateo jealous. The way she acted and

With a mischievous smile, she turned to Mateo again, suggesting an idea that would be very good for his attention. "Darling, let's check out the photobooth! It'll be so much fun!" she said while grinning. Mateo didn't respond for sometime before nodding his head at her. "Sure, why not? Let's go."

I hope that it'll be the Stellar Venture, my company, which will win first prize at this year's annual award ceremony," Mateo said, but it's far from the truth actually.
