2024-03-24 21:54:03“Ale, look at our views!” Miguel burst out of the room into the sitting room and showed Alejandro his new phone.
Alejandro, who was engrossed in reading the news and sipping coffee, took the device from his friend. They had nearly hit 100 million views, an astonishing number.
“Wow! We're famous!” Alejandro exclaimed, feeling a rush of excitement. He couldn't believe how quickly their fame had grown. He returned the phone back to Miguel and sighed dejectedly.
“You're thinking about Sophia again, aren't you?” Miguel asked him, pouring himself some coffee.
“I still love her, but I can't forget what she did. She never believed in me. I wonder how she'll react when she sees me now,” Alejandro confessed. “Maybe we should take over her business too?” He further suggested.
“Not now, Alejandro. Let's stop with acquiring people's businesses and focus on building our own empire. Remember the Casino idea I mentioned? That could be our next big venture,” Miguel said.
Alejandro just got up and began walking out of the house.
“Where are you going?” Miguel asked.
“I'm just trying to take a walk, won't take long.” Alejandro lied.
He still has some more people to deal with, one of which is his ex- boss, Mr. Gerald.
Alejandro drove to The Diamond hall, where he used to work. He parked his black SUV at the entrance and got out. Dressed casually in black, his hair slicked back, and wearing shades. He was ready to take over this business.
At the entrance, security didn't recognize him, but they let him in. Emily gasped when she saw him.
“Alejandro! You're back!” she exclaimed, clearly surprised and happy to see him.
She knew he was framed and felt bad when he got fired by Mr. Gerald.
“Yea I'm.” Alejandro said and hugged her.
“And what are you doing here? You have no shame coming back,” Henry, another coworker, asked him. He had never liked him and was happy when Alejandro got fired.
Alejandro ignored him and went straight to Mr. Gerald's table and said calmly. “I'm here to buy something.”
“Henry is right, you shouldn't be here,” his ex-boss, Mr. Gerald, replied.
“You've changed, Mr. Gerald. You taught me to never look down on anyone and to never treat anyone badly but you kicked me out even when you knew I was framed.
“Shut up and get out now!” Mr. Gerald yelled at him and pointed towards the door.
“I want to buy your business,” Alejandro stated firmly.
“With which money?” Mr. Gerald scoffed, “My business is worth 20 million dollars and how could you, a low-life, even think of such an impossible thing.”
“Guess you haven't seen the news,” Alejandro replied cryptically before transferring $50 million to Mr. Gerald's account.
The credit alert shocked Mr. Gerald. “How did you do that?” Mr. Gerald exclaimed.
Henry and the rest of the co-workers were taken aback by his sudden wealth.
“Transfer the business to Emily within a few days, or else you'll be in trouble,” Alejandro warned before leaving.
Emily could not believe her eyes. She opened her mouth to speak but couldn't say anything.
“Where have you been? You lied to me that you were going out for a walk,” Miguel questioned when Alejandro returned.
“Relax, Miguel,” Alejandro replied, flashing a smile.
“Why do I have a feeling you went to do something bad?” Miguel stood with his hands on his hips, looking concerned. Alejandro knew he couldn't avoid explaining.
“I just bought another business,” Alejandro confessed, trying to downplay the situation.
“Let me guess, Mr. Gerald?” Miguel said.
“How did you know?” Alejandro asked and raised an eyebrow.
“It's all over the news. You should know by now that you're a celebrity, your every move will be watched by the media,” Miguel explained, showing Alejandro the TV coverage.
“I'm sorry, okay, but I needed to prove a point,” Alejandro apologized, but Miguel remained stern.
“It's better now. Get ready, we have a party to attend in the evening,” Miguel said, reminding him of the meeting they have with a wealth businessman.
“I thought you weren't going. What made you change your mind?” Alejandro asked.
“I can't leave you to make a fool of yourself, I know that's what will happened,” Miguel replied with a snort, earning a chuckle from Alejandro.
The evening came quickly, and both men dressed in nicely fitted three-piece suits. Miguel wore a jade green and black suit, while Alejandro managed a royal blue and white suit. They looked like really stunning.
Arriving at the party, they were greeted by paparazzi at the entrance. Despite the bodyguards' efforts, the flashing cameras made it hard to see.
“Mr. García! What made you acquire The Diamond Hall?”
“Was it a business move or to settle an old score?”
“Which business will you take over next?”
Questions bombarded them, and the paparazzi got too close. Suddenly, someone grabbed Alejandro's arm firmly yet gently. It was Sophia, looking stunning and smiling for attention.
“Everyone, calm down. He'll answer your questions after the party,” Sophia announced, linking arms with Alejandro.
“Excuse me, ma'am! Who are you to Mr. García?” a reporter asked, puzzled.
“Well, I'm his wife, of course!” Sophia declared, her grin wickedly gorgeous. But Alejandro was not pleased.
“What the hell are you doing here, Sophia? What do you want?” he snapped, pulling his arm away.
“Alejandro, we can talk about this when we get inside,” Sophia said softly, trying to diffuse the situation.
“So now I'm rich, you want me back?” Alejandro scoffed loudly, making his feelings clear to everyone.
“Is it true she is your wife, Mr. García?”
“Why is she never with you?” the questions became more direct.
Alejandro decided to set the record straight, grabbing a mic from a reporter. “This is Sophia Brown, and yes, she was my wife. We are divorced,” Alejandro announced firmly, returning the mic before heading further inside.
Sophia tried to grab him again, but Alejandro rejected her touch. “Don't touch me! I already signed the divorce papers! It's over! There's nothing between us!”

“Ah, Mr. García, it's good to see you here. What was the commotion all about outside?” Mr. Lopez, the host, greeted them as they entered. He was an elderly man with matching beard and hair, dressed in a dragon-themed black and gold three-piece suit.“Just someone looking for publicity, let's proceed,” Miguel answered for Alejandro.Alejandro and Miguel were invited as special guests to one of the year's biggest parties, exclusive to the elite. The venue was lavishly decorated, and the room buzzed with chattering.One of the reasons they had come was to discuss the establishment of their new casino.Alejandro's head was filled with memories of Sophia, and bitterness crept into his heart. “You guys can continue without me.” He said and walked to take a seat near the poolside.After about an hour, Miguel walked up to him and saw him in a bad mood.“Cool down, Alejandro, here,” Miguel offered him a glass of sparkling white wine, leading him to a secluded garden area. “What's the matter?

“Hey Alejandro, check it out, the Casino is all set!” Miguel exclaimed, handing over the completed business papers.Alejandro's relief was palpable as he checked the documents. He Was Impressed by Miguel's meticulous work. His friend had truly outdone himself, and Alejandro couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.Across from him, Miguel wore a proud smirk.“Thanks, Miguel. You did an amazing job,” Alejandro praised, marveling at the detailed plans and business model laid out before him.They finalized the deal with Mr. Lopez, and shook hands with him. “It was a pleasure doing business with you Mr Lopez, anytime you come to the Casino, you would not need to pay for a thing.” Miguel said.“When do you plan to open it?” Mr. Lopez inquired.“Well, we were thinking of opening it as soon as possible as we don't want to keep people waiting.” Alejandro suggested.Mr. Lopez nodded in agreement, "I think that's a good idea considering the fact people would rush it since you guys have made name

“Mr García, is she telling the truth?”“No. She's not.” Alejandro said.“When were you last together?” Another reporter thrust the microphone towards Alejandro, but he knocked it out of her hands.Sophia grabbed the microphone and answered, “We were together a few nights back.”“Are you denying being the father because you two are no longer together?” another reporter pressed.“Why would Sophia lie about the pregnancy?”“Do you have any proof that the child isn't yours?”The reporters bombarded him with questions.Alejandro exchanged a weary glance with Miguel, sensing his friend's exhaustion.Even though today was supposed to be a very happy day for them both, Sophia's relentless accusations were wearing them both down.Alejandro took a deep breath, steeling himself for what he had to say. “Sophia and I are divorced, she is no longer my wife and that pregnancy is not mine. She is a liar,” Alejandro asserted firmly.You're pushing away your child!” She screamed at him but the tension

Miguel was right. Things kept getting worse. Social media was going crazy, heavily favoring Sophia as she granted them coverage after coverage, using each one to slander her ex-husband with passive aggression.Everywhere Alejandro went, there was a crowd ready to hurt him because they believed he hurt Sophia. He watched how people insulted and slandered him on social media, calling him an abusive man, a liar, a cheat, a fraud, and so many hurtful things. It was getting to him.That night, he turned off his phone and sank deeper into the sheets, hoping to fall into a deep slumber before the lights came on. He threw the covers to his midsection and he saw Miguel at the door.“Why are you still awake?” Miguel asked.“Nothing.” Alejandro said.“I need to talk to you about something,” Miguel said, inviting himself in and moving closer to his friend's bed.“If it's about what's going on, then I don't want to talk about it,” Alejandro replied quickly, pulling the sheets over his head.But Mi

Alejandro returned home and shared what happened with Miguel.“What? Ale?” Miguel reacted with surprise and shock. “Striking a deal doesn't mean you should bring her back into your life. You could have given her money to shut her up!”Alejandro took a deep breath. “Sophia is pregnant and it's my baby. We talked and I think I have forgiven her.” He felt vulnerable, hoping Miguel would understand.“So you want to get married to her again? She hasn't changed, Ale. What about all the things she said about you? Doesn't it mean anything anymore?” Miguel paused his cooking, gesturing for Alejandro to sit down.Alejandro recalled everything. “I know Sophia has done wrong, but I still love her. I've always loved her, Miguel. And you know I've always wanted to be a dad too.”“What if the baby isn't yours?”“It is!!” Alejandro's voice rose with a mix of fear and sadness. He calmed himself. “The night of the party…I slept with her. I was drunk.”“So she raped you?” Miguel's tone turned cocky, but

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

Alejandro took all Mr. Lopez's advice. That night, he called all the managers and CEOs in charge of his business and told them that everything is alright but they should tighten security measures and that they should disregard the news because he's safe.That night, he also hired some of the best fight instructors to start training him and Miguel and also protect them.As early as 6 am, Theo and his team arrived at the location of the farmhouse Alejandro provided. They were there to serve as Alejandro's new security team, responsible for his protection and training."Hello, Mr. Garcia, we're at the location you gave us. Come out," Theo called out.Alejandro and Miguel, who barely slept the whole night, came out and met the team of five men.They were from a private security company and would be paid 1 million dollars yearly for their services."Good morning,” Alejandro greeted them and asked, "Mr...?""Good morning, Mr. Garcia. I'm Theo, Theo Gustavo, and these are the rest of my team

After Miguel shared what they found, Alejandro pondered for a moment before speaking up."So, Theo, what do you suggest we do?" he asked. "Let's hear everyone's opinions. I think Nathan and Jake should be included too, so they can give their input.""No need for that. They have communication buds in their ears, so they can hear us and stay connected," Theo explained. "Nathan, do you copy? Jake, do you copy?""Yes, Theo," Nathan responded from the other end."Always," Jake chimed in as well."Wow," Alejandro remarked. "I think you'll need one too, Mr. Garcia," Theo suggested."Yeah, sure. It's necessary," Miguel agreed. "I'll need one too."Theo gave a thumbs up and continued, "So, back to what I'm suggesting. I think it all depends on what you want, but I suggest we contact this Diego Morales and find out exactly what he wants.""Good, I'm thinking the same too," Alejandro agreed."Jackson, do you have any leads on getting his contact info?" Theo inquired."Yeah, I think I might be a

Chapter 34In the dark hallway, Valentina pressed her back against the cold stone wall, her heart pounding in her chest. 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

James, the butler, shuffled to the entrance, opening the door to reveal two women—Amy Johnson and Judy Miller.Amy wore a simple floral dress that flattered her petite frame, while Judy was dressed in bold designer clothing, her oversized sunglasses perched arrogantly on her head.“Welcome, ladies,” Mr. James said with a polite nod, stepping aside to let them in.Amy gasped, her eyes widening as she took in the grandeur of the mansion's new interior that Sophia had had made. “Oh my gosh, Judy, look at this place! 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?

Chapter 30The next day was a Sunday. It was a bright morning, and the mansion grounds were bustling with activity. The new gardener was trimming hedges, while a few maids hurried about their chores. At the gate, Martin, the elderly gateman, was performing his usual duties, meticulously inspecting everyone entering and leaving.A sleek, black car pulled up at the gate, and Oscar stepped out. 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

The tension was palpable as they navigated the winding corridors of Alejandro’s mansion.“Where could he be right now?” Nathan said, his tone edged with frustration.Jackson, clutching his laptop, shrugged. “Theo’s always moving around. Let’s check his room.”They turned down the hall and knocked on Theo’s door. 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. Inside, they found Jake Turner, shirtless and dripping with sweat, in the middle of a vigorous set of pull-ups.Jake noticed them in the mirror and smirked. “What’s up, nerds?” he said, dropping down from the bar and grab

The hallway was quiet, with the faint hum of morning activity echoing from the kitchen below. After a moment, the door creaked open, revealing Jackson in sweatpants and a loose hoodie, his hair slightly disheveled.“Theo? You’re up early,” Jackson said, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. “What’s going on?”“We need to talk,” Theo said, stepping inside without waiting for an invitation. His face was stern, his tone clipped. Jackson frowned, shutting the door behind him.“What’s the urgency?” Jackson asked, gesturing to a chair for Theo to sit.Theo ignored the offer and remained standing, crossing his arms. “It’s about Sophia,” he began. “You’ve heard the story she’s spinning, right? That she ‘escaped’ from Diego Morales?”Jackson snorted, walking over to the mini-fridge to grab a bottle of water. “Yeah, cock and bull if you ask me. No way Diego just l

He hadn’t slept all night, worry etched on his face. 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.

Chapter 26DIEGO'S DUNGEONSophia slowly opened her eyes, her head pounding with the remnants of the unconsciousness that had overtaken her earlier. 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
