Back at Alejandro's mansion, he was still restless.

Miguel, on the other hand, was thinking about what possible way to protect themselves. He went into Alejandro's room to discuss with him.

“Alejandro, I think that we should move to another place, like a more secluded place. We are being monitored, and our security guards are not strong enough. Can you imagine they ran away during the attack?” Miguel said, touching Alejandro's chest.

“Who are they? And what exactly do they want?” Alejandro asked.

“I don't know, but we must leave here right now before things get worse. Remember Sophia is pregnant with your baby.”

“I don't want anything to happen to my baby. I have to protect my baby,” he snapped his hand away, pacing around all stressed up.

“That's why we must go into hiding before we find back up plans and all the information to help us. Think, Ale,” Miguel responded and started to pack everything important, including clothes and a computer.

Alejandro was so anxious; this is the first time he is facing such a thing and it is even worse than the way his in-laws treat him. He now understands the saying that power is death. He also began to pack up his belongings.

“Get up, Sophia, you need to leave the mansion and return to your family house tonight,” Alejandro woke up Sophia who was sleeping.

“Why?” She asked with a sleepy eye.

“It's because we are in danger. We don't know what the people responsible for the shooting want.”

“No. I am not leaving. I will stay here until I successfully give birth,” Sophia said, holding her belly. Her mood is worse because she is pregnant and she doesn't want to leave the mansion and go back to her family house.

The main reason she came back to Alejandro is because of his wealth. She wants to flaunt it to the world and enjoy every bit of it to the very end and now he wants him to return home? What will she tell her friends?

“No, I'm not leaving.” She said again and pulled the cover over her head.

“You need to get it together, the two of you. Do you want to die here? Well, I don't want to die yet,” Miguel yells at them knowing that's the only way to convince them to leave the mansion.

“Please, Sophia, it's just for a few days until we have gotten information about who's behind all this,” Alejandro said.

But Sophia remained adamant.

“We're wasting so much time, Ale.”. Miguel said impatiently. “Let her come with us, I think that would be more preferable.”

Sophia nodded her head and also started packing up her things immediately.

All she wants is for everything to return back to normal in time so she can enjoy a wealthy life with her baby, stealing all of Alejandro's money.

They got into an SUV, and Miguel drove them to his former apartment, downtown.

The farmhouse is located far away from the city, and it will be hard to notice that they are gone and they are staying at a place like this.

The drive was long but they finally got there and settled down.

It was a one bedroom apartment and not very spacious. Sophia was asked to sleep in the bedroom while Alejandro and Miguel stayed in the sitting room.

“Ah,” Miguel had a sigh of relief. “So now what are we going to do next?”

“I don't know. We should protect each other first and then find the information we need about those people, and why they are after me,” Alejandro sighed, still worried.

"I think we need to call Mr. Lopez. He's the only one who's capable of helping us in this situation."

"Yeah. I think so," Alejandro said and dialed Mr. Lopez's number. The phone rang for a few moments before Mr. Lopez picked it up.

"Hola!" Mr. Lopez responded and sounded worried. "Alejandro, what did I hear in the news? That some gunmen interrupted your marriage."

"Yes, yes Mr. Lopez. It is that bad. Right now, I am not at my mansion. I had to leave with my wife and friend."

"Do you know anyone responsible for it?" Mr. Lopez asked him.

"No, I do not know. Only that the gunmen left a note.”

“What was written on the paper?” Mr. Lopez asked.

Alejandro took out the paper from his pocket and read it out. “Return what's mine.”

“I think I know what they mean by that.” Mr. Lopez said and cleared his throat.

Miguel moved closer to Alejandro to hear what Mr Lopez was saying. “What is it?” He asked eagerly.

“I think it's about the lottery money that you won. It could be that people found out about it and they are after the money, or the real owner of the lottery is not happy that you found it and now he wants his money back” Mr. Lopez said.

“What do you suggest we should do now?” Alejandro asked him.

“Listen, Mr. Garcia, you are in a position of power, you don't need to act like a coward. First you need to learn somethings. You need to be strong also, and build your own empire. Call those in charge of your business right now and reassure them that your okay. Command them to tighten up the security around all your businesses.”

    Alejandro and Miguel went home together in their SUV car. Alejandro told him everything that happened back with the stranger and how he knew about the team. “Hmm, this is strange. I think he left the wallet on purpose. Did you check what's in his wallet?” “No, I'm planning to do that tomorrow if he does not come for it,” Alejandro said. “Ok, goodnight. We have a lot to handle tomorrow; you should sleep well, okay,” Miguel advised Alejandro, knowing that tomorrow is not going to be easy. “Alright, goodnight,” he waved and went to his bedroom, where Sophia was already waiting for him. “What are you doing here? You should be in bed by now.” “I am waiting for you, baby. Your child wants to sleep with you tonight,” Sophia said as she pulled him in for a hug. “No, I really have to sleep early today. I have to check my other companies tomorrow,” he jumped on the bed, trying to fall asleep. “I am craving ice cream. I need you to get it for me, baby. Our child wants ice cream,” she cudd

Don't over stress yourself and let Miguel handle the maids that we'll employe today.” “No love.

The deep silence of the mansion surrounded her, broken only by the muffled sounds of the conversation coming from Diego’s study. She had been in the bedroom when the men entered, and unable to resist, she had tiptoed silently to the door to listen in.Though she hadn’t heard much of the conversation—her position had been precarious and the voices low—the part that had caught her off guard made her blood run cold. Javier had suggested hiring the best hackers in the world to break into Alejandro’s casino since the fire attack wasn’t successful, and Valentina’s mind had skipped at the thought.She didn’t know Alejandro personally, but from the little she’d gathered, he seemed like a young, innocent man who luckily won her husband’s scam lottery.Yet here was Diego, her husband, plotting to destroy him piece by piece. She couldn’t stand the thought of Diego manipulating

    Chapter 33The night was cloaked in a veil of restless clouds, the soft hum of distant crickets the only sound outside Diego’s sprawling mansion. Inside, the warm glow of chandeliers illuminated a room thick with tension. The mahogany table in Diego’s private study bore marks of age and power, much like the man who sat at its head.The thick smell of cigars mingled with the faint tang of spilled whiskey, curling through the opulent study like a specter of power. A half-empty wine bottle stood forgotten on the table, next to a silver tray dusted with the remnants of cocaine. The grand chandelier above cast flickering light, illuminating the tension etched into every corner of the room.Diego lounged in his leather armchair, a cigarette smoldering between his fingers. His dark eyes, sharp as a hawk’s, bore into the men seated before him. On the table, a glass of Malbec swirled lazily in his other hand, the deep red liquid glinting in the light. He didn’t need to speak; the silence was s

It’s like something out of a movie!” she whispered excitedly.Judy rolled her eyes, stepping inside with a smirk. “Calm down, Amy. It’s not like you’re moving in. You’ll embarrass yourself, as usual.”Amy flushed but ignored the jab, too enamored by the sparkling chandeliers and marble floors to c

Pushing open the door, he found Theo reviewing the updated security plans.“Got a minute?” Miguel asked, shutting the door behind him.“Sure,” Theo said, leaning back in his chair. “What’s up?”Miguel crossed his arms, pacing slightly. “It’s about Sophia and that so-called gym instructor of hers, Oscar.”Theo raised an eyebrow. “What about them?”“I just saw them in the gym. The way they were interacting—too close, too familiar. He told her he missed her after the ‘kidnapping.’ It’s odd, Theo. He’s supposed to be her trainer, not her confidant.”Theo frowned. “You think there’s something going on between them?”Miguel stopped pacing, his expression serious. “I don’t just think it—I know it. And we need to keep a closer eye on them. There’s something about Oscar that doesn’t add up. He’s disrespectful to staff, acts entitled, and now he’s cozying up to Sophia.”Theo nodded thoughtfully. “Do you want me to escalate this?

Dressed in an expensive tracksuit and sunglasses, he looked around with a smug expression. He gestured impatiently at Martin, his tone sharp.“Hurry up, old man! Do you want me to stand here all day?” Oscar snapped, leaning against the car. “Open the gate already!”Martin, used to dealing with difficult people, remained calm but couldn’t hide the slight frown forming on his face. “I’m just doing my job, sir. Could you please confirm your identity?”Oscar scoffed, pulling off his sunglasses. “I’m Sophia’s gym instructor. She’s expecting me. Now stop wasting my time and open the gate!”Martin nodded

After a few moments of silence, Nathan tried the handle, but the room was empty.“Not here,” Jackson muttered, glancing around.Nathan sighed. “Let’s try the gym. He’s been in there a lot lately.”The two made their way downstairs to the gym. The faint sound of weights clinking and rhythmic grunts echoed down the hall as they approached.

Miguel sat on the couch, sipping his coffee, while Theo stood near the window, scanning the surroundings for anything suspicious.“Still no word from her?” Alejandro asked, his voice thick with exhaustion.Miguel shook his head. “I’ve got Jack working on the tracker on her dress. If Diego has her, it’s not going to be easy to get her back, Ale.”“She’s carrying my child, Miguel,” Alejandro said, running a hand through his disheveled hair. “I can’t just give up.”Theo spoke up from his position near the window. “Wait, I think I just saw her walk through the gate.”Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed from outside.

As the haze of confusion lifted, she realized she wasn’t in her luxurious bedroom at Alejandro’s mansion anymore. The air was thick with dampness, the scent of mildew stinging her nose. She tried to move, but the ropes around her wrists cut into her skin, restraining her. Panic set in as she tried to look around.She was in a dark, cold room. The walls were stone, covered with what appeared to be damp patches of moss. There was no window, just a single flickering light bulb hanging above her. She couldn’t tell how long she had been here or how she had gotten here. One thing was clear—she was in trouble. A lot of trouble.The door creaked open, and in walked Diego Morales, his figure tall and imposing. His smile was cold, calculating, like a predator toying with its prey. Sophia froze, her stomach sinking at the sight of him. This man was t
