Chapter 31
*Andrea*After the phone call, Alejandro looked conflicted and didn't touch his meal again. I'm sure whatever he heard on the phone was disconcerting for him to act that way. And the fact that he evaded my question and decided to deal with the problem alone worried me. The food tasted bland in my mouth after that, and soon, I pushed it away, and we left. The ride back to the hotel was silent, and I kept glancing at Alejandro worriedly. His brows were set in a furrowed line, and it was clear that something was eating at him. As soon as we entered our hotel room, he began pacing. “We need to leave,” he said before he resumed his pacing. “Are you sure you don't want to talk about it?” I asked him. “Yeah.” I watched as he stiffly walked over to the window and looked out. His posture was rigid, and I sighed as I walked up to him. Standing behind him, I wrapped my arms around his waist, my cheeks pressing against his back. “Alejandro…” I whispered. “Anna,” he replied, resting a hand

*Alejandro*I made sure to drive Anna home before going home. She waved until I drove out of sight. The time spent with her can be considered my happiest moment, and I didn't want it to end. The clouds were dented with thick gray clouds that moved to settle over the sun, inviting the cool evening breeze. My grip around the car steering wheel tightened when I remembered the call I had received. *YESTERDAY*The call was from Rosa. She told me something I had not expected to hear. “Nora is here. Lucas brought her over.” She had said. I was quiet, trying to analyze my thoughts. The last time I spoke to Williams, he said she was getting better. “Should I prepare a room for her?” Rosa asked, jolting me back into reality. Nora may be Lucas' mother, but she is no longer my wife. We had gotten a divorce and had gone our separate ways, though Lucas had not forgiven me. I was glad Rosa, my housekeeper, called me. I massaged my temples, feeling a headache building. “Give me a moment; I'll ca

*Nora*I slipped into the Jacuzzi in the bathroom with a wine glass in one hand and my phone in the other. I let out a soft sigh as the warm water cascaded through my body and loosened my tense muscles. This was how life with Alejandro had been before the divorce. Well, that was a long time ago, I thought as I dialed Eunice on the phone. She picked up after the first ring. “Nora… how have you been?” Her excited voice rang out in the silent bathroom.“Oh, I'm fine. How are you? It's been a while,” I replied to her, sinking further into the tub. “I've been okay. Just here and there, you know? What's going on with you anyway? We barely talk these days.”I laughed and my body tingled with the need I was about to tell her, knowing how excited she would be. “Guess where I am right now,” I teased.“Oh, come on. You know I'm bad at guessing. Just tell me.”“I'm at Alejandro's house,” I whispered like it was a secret. Well, it was. But if my plan works, it won't be for long. “Your ex-husb

Chapter 34
*Andrea*I felt my heart shatter as I watched her, Alejandro's ex-wife, walk into the restroom. And then I heard her speak on her phone, and if my heart had not been broken by what I had seen earlier, then it probably sank right now. I wanted to believe that this was a lie. That Alejandro has been mine and mine alone. But then, he had never officially asked me out. He never officially asked me to date him or anything. His ex-wife is back, so what happens to me? I banged the door as I left. There was no use listening anymore. I never expected this from him. My intentions at the beginning were to make him fall in love with me to get back at Lucas for cheating on me, but now I'm the one falling deeply in love with him.I walked out and sat behind my table. I stared at the computer screen in front of me. It was blank, and I hit the keypad hysterically, trying to channel my frustration into the laptop. I was trying hard not to lose it. I stood; maybe I should ask him. Why was she sudd

Chapter 35
*Alejandro*I finally understood why Nora was back. She wanted to come back into my life. And she has always been sensitive, so it's no surprise she could figure out I have a more personal relationship with Anna than it seems.I was glad Anna had given me the time to explain and that she had listened to me. I was infuriated by Nora's act. If she thinks she could come between me and Anna, then she has another thought coming in. The last thing I would do is leave Anna for her.I made a resolve to have a small talk with her when I return, or probably warn her or threaten to get her out of that mansion. I ran my hands through my hair, knowing the last part was impossible. She was the reason Lucas was finally speaking to me. I spent over an hour speaking to him today, which was the longest time we've spent talking. It was clear that it was because his mom was here. It pained me greatly, but if that's how it would be, then I don't mind having her here as long as I can have my son.So, I se

Chapter 36
*Andrea*What was Nora and Lucas doing here? Why were they with Alejandro? Why did he want me to come if he knew he would bring them with him? I stopped on my track and quickly hid behind one of the waiter's backs when Alejandro turned in my direction. I couldn't afford to allow him to see me.Not when he was with Lucas. How do I explain that I had dated his son?Things may not be official between us, but it was clear that we have feelings for each other. The last thing I want is for things to end before they truly begin. I turned and walked to the side of the hall. I stood facing them with my back. I picked a glass of drink from one of the waiters and took a small sip. I don't want to look like I wasn't busy or get unwanted attention. I turned to look at my back from time to time. Alejandro was walking around the hall, and Nora seemed to be perched beside him, Not leaving his side for a moment. I had a problem with that, but I could let that slide for now. What was more important

Chapter 37
*Alejandro*It has been over an hour since Anna called me to inform me that she has left her house, but she is yet to arrive. I walked around the hall, exchanging pleasantries with those who I knew. I used this opportunity to bond with Lucas, telling him about who they were.Lucas would be my heir. Though he is not interested in learning anything about the company or how it is run, I do not mind. What matters now to me is that he and I have a good relationship. Then we can work together. Thinking about the times we would spend together in the company and having him give suggestions at the board meeting brought a smile to my lips.Though I was happy that Lucas was by my side, I wasn't happy about Nora, who kept sticking close. I wanted to push her away and remind her of her position in my life, but that would not sit well with Lucas. When she tried to snake her hands around my arm, I moved my hands, turned, and sent her a slight glare. She didn't make eye contact. She pretended she d

*Alejandro*“We'll talk about this later today. We have plenty of chances.” I said to Clara. I was already beginning to get tired of the conversation. “You've always wanted to do business with Jane,” she said in a bid to stop me.“That's true, but you've not said anything meaningful,” I said. I want to do business with her. But since we've been standing here, she has not said anything. “Let's talk about this later, Clara,” I said. She pulled my hands before I could step away, “You just want to leave me; you don't want to be with me in the same space. You want to go to her, right?” I turned.“What are you talking about?” I asked, my brows furrowed. She removed her hands from my arm, “you know what I am talking about, Alejandro.” she said.“You brought her here. And I was thinking the P. A was the problem when I saw her earlier. But she wasn't. You brought Nora. Do you want to get back with her?” “You saw Anna?” I asked. So Anna is here. Maybe she is looking for me, and here I am with

Chapter 39
*Andrea*I had left to catch my breath in the bathroom. It was uncomfortable being in the piercing gaze of Nora. I was done with my business quickly. As I walked out of the bathroom, I decided I couldn't stay here anymore. Though Mr. Shaw had helped in clearing out Nora's speculation, I got weird stares from some people while I worked back. They were judging me with their gaze. I hastened steps. Soon, Nora and Alejandro were in sight. It seems Alejandro was about to step out. “Do you love her?” I heard Nora ask, and I stopped on my track.I wanted to know that answer, too. He had told me repeatedly that he liked me but never that he loved me.Alejandro slowly turns to Nora. My heart almost ripped out of my chest, and my breath quickened. What would he say? I unconsciously placed one hand on my chest.“Yes.” He replied, his voice firm. I removed the hand from my chest. “I love her. Do you have a problem with that?” He asked her.Nora sent him a shaking smile. “Of course not. I was
