Chapter twenty nine
Mrs. Contreras didn't answer and the awkward silence was getting disturbing.
She could say no and he, could not let that happen.
"Are you having second thoughts, Mrs. Contreras?" Rodriguez said to the phone.
"I—just don't want her to hate me, I feel bad enough hiding the truth from her."
She was indeed having second thoughts.
Rodriguez then instantly knew he had to step up his game if he was going yo stand a chance in pushing her to his side of the battle line.
"I know Mrs. Contreras but you don't know what family she comes from. If you have the internet, just search on the Romero's. She comes from a wealthy and influential family herself and I'm sure even if she remembers nothing, She still has her flaws."
Rodriguez then went on to mention some of the flaws.

He turned and ripped away the needle that caused the pain.He could now make out that he was in a hospital but he couldn't make out why.I survived.Nathan remembered being shot.

Isn't it obvious?"Ema turned to see who was talking."Nathan…""I see you know my name. Do you like it?"Nathan got up the bed he was in and approached her.Ema could feel her breath slipping away when he got too close for comfort.He was so close to her face that she could see his peach soft lips were natural."You must be Ema, Ema Contreras," Nathan noted.Ema ran her hands her short hair just to get the awkwardness of the situation out of her mind.What she didn't understand was why he was talking different.

She made her presence known to him."Ema, why did you run off like that? Are you ok?" Mr Contreras demanded, examining he like he was sure she had been molested in his office.The punk's lips was a devilish temptation and the sparks she felt when their body met was alarming, apart from that, Ema knew she was untainted."I'm fine Dad.""So what did he tell you?""You got your job back."She expected her father to be shocked or doubtful but instead, he was angry."What!
