Charles didn't know what to say. He was speechless because of what Daniel reported to him. He remembered his mother's reaction earlier after she learned that Elizabeth was taking over the company and at the same time the words of Elizabeth before he left her flashed in his mind. Thieves inside the company. He was starting to have a clue what was going on inside the company as he tried to connect the dots. The two important women in his life seemed to be up to something that he didn't know. After he got all the information he needed from his assistant and all the meetings he needed to attend and also the documents that he needed to sign, he dismissed him. He wanted some time alone. He wanted to think about all the things that were happening around him. But Daniel was about to open the door when he spoke. The man was stopped from what he was about to do. "Ahm, Daniel," he said, sounding hesitant. His assistant's eyebrows lifted. "Yes, sir?" He as

Charles decided to leave Elizabeth exactly after they had their tea. He couldn't help but feel bothered by her words. He couldn't believe that those words would come out from her mouth. How could she even say that Carlos was not his son? What on earth was on her mind to say that thing towards his innocent child? Elizabeth had changed a lot and he never heard her before having these kinds of thoughts before. Though Charles found himself thinking about that. He knew that he was too drunk that night and as far as he was concerned Elaine's presence couldn't make him feel aroused which he couldn't understand. He tried it a lot of times but nothing really happened to them since the day that they started to live together. Elizabeth's words made his mind in turmoil. There's one thing that kept on running through his head and he knew that he wouldn't be at peace if he wouldn't get confirmation about the doubt he felt after he heard what Elizabeth said. He couldn't help but feel someth

Charles felt like his heart was being squeezed when he saw Elizabeth earlier in her office. The woman had never been like that since she came back. But earlier, she was vulnerable. His ex-wife was unable to hold her tears and she burst out. She cried so hard. She cried so loud in his chest. Every time he heard her sobs, he felt like his heart was being stabbed by a sharp knife. He couldn't help but feel anger towards his mother because of how she acted but it was not a good time for him to confront her. He knew that wouldn't do any good, especially to Elizabeth. He might just add fire to the burnt. He felt bad and mad at himself because he couldn't do anything aside from hugging her to console her. He didn't know what else to do just to comfort her. Even in his presence, he was not sure if it was even necessary because the pain that the woman was feeling was because of his mother. He couldn't understand why his mom looked so angry at the CCTV footage. All he knew was the wo

Elizabeth came out of the washroom and she was surprised when she met Charles and his wife along with their son in the hallway. She felt like her heart was being squeezed when she saw them all together. She admitted that she felt a bit of jealousy towards the family. They were a picture of a happy family and she couldn't help but think that it should be her and their son Albert. Maybe if Elaine didn't get pregnant, maybe, Charles was with them and she was with him and their child. Maybe, Albert would grow up with a father on his side and he didn't have to be left behind in Barcelona. She felt like there was a sharp knife inside her heart because of the pain that she was feeling as soon as she saw Charles and his family. She should have been ready for this kind of scene. It was expected that their paths would cross because she and Charles were just working in one company. Though Elizabeth couldn't turn away the thoughts that were running inside her mind because of the last di

Their meal was finally over and as their daily routine, they were sitting on the poolside and having their tea. Elizabeth loved the scent and the taste of the chamomile tea. She didn't know but every time that she was drinking it every night, she felt better. So, that's why she sees to it that she had a stock of it. The three of them were sitting in the steel chair with a round glass table in the middle. The silence was deafening. No one had actually dared to talk since they came there. "So, how's the investigation that you are doing about the company?" Charles said as he broke the silence and took a sip of his tea. Elizabeth didn't expect that Charles would be throwing that question to her. She was caught off guard and she didn't know how to answer the man. So, she looked at Charles and then Arnol. She didn't know if she was already ready to trust her ex-husband after everything that happened to them. Charles took a deep breath and spoke. "Alright. There
