Chapter 980 Christopher Got Fed Up
Christopher visited Katrina hours after Patricio had dumped her.He found his sister lying prostrate in the bed, as if she were on her deathbed, suffering from terminal cancer but without the shaved head.“Sis...?” Christopher approached cautiously.“Don’t be scared, damn it,” Katrina muttered through gritted teeth. “Why is everyone so afraid to come near me?”“Can you blame us?” Christopher defended himself. “You’ve been acting erratic lately. Anything we do or say sets you off.”“It’s not anything we say — it’s just whatever Briana does or says,” Katrina turned away, pretending to be in pain.Christopher, however, had started to suspect these physical reactions from his sister, he knew her too well. “Let’s have an honest conversation, please. While you were invading Brie’s house, I was formally introducing Elara as my girlfriend. Neither you nor Mom were there.”Katrina smirked mockingly. “That’s because we know how wrong it is. Chris, get out of this arranged marriage, it’s so tack
Chapter 979 Let’s Postpone Your Plans
Katrina felt entitled to be offended.“What are you saying? You’re bailing on our relationship? Who gave you that authority?”Patricio rolled his eyes, impatient. “It feels like I’m dealing with a high school girl. Katrina, you’ve never had the maturity for a relationship.”“Really?” Katrina smirked wickedly, leaning back against the pillows. “You weren’t thinking about maturity while we were having that hot, wild s*x in my bedroom, pounding me nonstop!”Patricio shifted to hide the erection that had suddenly appeared in his pants, made even more obvious by the fact that the lawyer was going commando.“We didn’t intend for you to get pregnant. But once it happened, I thought you’d be a great mother and wife,” Patricio shot back.“You THOUGHT?” Katrina snapped. “Now you’re not so sure?”Patricio was stunned. “After all the stunts you’ve pulled, you think that’s not enough? Katrina, when are you going to understand that going to your cousin’s house was a terrible idea?”“I don’t have a
Chapter 978 Jumping Ship on This Relationship
At the Vasconcelos Mansion, Christopher and Elara had finally stopped their wild, unrestrained love marathon. The family heir was now leaning against the headboard, satisfied with a smug grin, catching his breath (for more?).His phone rang, and he answered it, sparing poor Elara from another round. She wasn’t even visible under the covers.“Hello, Dad?”In the car, Gilson was speaking through the hands-free system. He was driving, but not toward home...“Son, I have terrible news. Katrina lost the baby. And it looks like she’s lost her boyfriend too.”Christopher’s smile vanished.“How did it happen?”“She was—”“At Mark and Brie’s house, I know,” Christopher finished bitterly.“You knew?” Gilson raised an eyebrow.“Mark called me last night, complaining about it.” Christopher scratched his nose. “He figured we’d be worried about my mischievous sister’s absence.”“Well, it seems she was so distraught that Briana’s baby nursery was better decorated than hers that she got distracted wh
Chapter 977 The Likely Ex-Girlfriend
Mark appeared in the hospital corridor, amid the constant activity of doctors and nurses coming and going. He spotted Patricio stepping out of the room of his likely ex-girlfriend.“Patricio? Is it any use if I say I’m sorry?” Mark asked cautiously.“I’d even take a hug, Mr. Ferro,” Patricio replied, his voice thick with emotion.Mark and Patricio embraced tightly.In the midst of the endless feud Katrina nurtured against Briana, an innocent baby had died before ever leaving the womb.“I’m truly sorry,” Mark said.“Thank you,” Patricio stepped back. Tears were already threatening to pour down like a waterfall. “It’s... hard to believe this happened.”“With someone like Katrina, do you still find it hard?” Mark raised an eyebrow.“I get it,” Patricio nodded, rubbing his fingers across his nose. “She went looking for trouble and dragged our child into it.”Mark narrowed his gaze. “Speaking honestly now, Patricio: what do you intend to do?”Patricio pressed his lips together, displeased.
Chapter 976 A Reprimand, Even If Late
Katrina received the news with horror: she would no longer be a mother.Alone with Patricio, she wept bitterly, screaming and howling in pain, hurling blasphemies against God as if He were to blame.“Why, Lord, WHY?!” Katrina shrieked, staring at the ceiling. “Why do You always allow good things to happen to Briana? When is she going to lose her baby, huh? THIS ISN’T FAIR!”Patricio kept his distance, both enraged and bewildered at the same time.He was furious over having lost his first child, yet deeply unsettled by how Katrina managed to use such a traumatic moment to talk about Briana.“Katrina, I know you’re shattered,” Patricio put his feelings into words. “But could we, just this once, not bring Briana into it?”“How could we leave my damn cousin out of it when she’s to blame for everything?” Katrina snapped, shooting him a vicious look.Patricio shook his head in disbelief. “What really happened?”“Briana dared to say she’d won the bet when I clearly stated that our baby’s nur
Chapter 975 Hope Lost
Vargas first looked at Mark as if asking for permission. Lord Ferro’s gaze made it clear that Vargas could deliver the news.“I’ve already informed Attorney Nogueira,” Vargas announced. “Unfortunately, Miss Vasconcelos has lost—”“NO!” Claudia threw herself to the floor in an extremely fake, theatrical manner, pretending to faint.She expected someone to catch her, but the gesture was so sudden that Gilson didn’t even have time to react.As a result, Claudia flailed on the floor, needlessly dirtying her clothes. Althea regarded her with nothing but growing contempt.Gilson, on the other hand, was genuinely shocked and shattered. Tears began to stream down his face as he felt his chance to be a grandfather slipping away.“This can’t be... How?” he asked, his voice breaking.“The staircase she fell down wasn’t a small one,” Vargas cleared his throat. “And there’s more... It appears she made an effort to tumble down the steps.”Still on the floor but pulling herself up, Claudia neighed o
