" What's wrong with you son? Have you gone crazy? " Suno asked abruptly, fixing Jim with an angry look.
" Dad ! Do you know how Pedro came into our lives? You can't give him a job in the family business like that. I can't accept him." Jim replied violently.
" Put that gun down right now. And let me remind you that I created the family business. So, while I'm still alive, I can hire whoever I want. Don't forget that. " Coldly replied Suno SIMAO who had a trembling voice.
Imaleya's mother, who was silent for a moment, manages to control herself and she walks towards her husband Jim.
" Dear ! Put down that gun. Don't disrespect your father in front of everyone." She whispered into Jim's ears.
Without further ado, Jim SIMAO puts away the revolver.
Indeed, Imaleya's mother was the only person who could control Jim's emotions. She could manipulate him and use him however she wanted. She is a clever woman who knows how to hide her intentions.
After this scene, they sat down and Imaleya's mother sought to understand the reasons why Pedro had been appointed business advisor to the family business. In response, Suno SIMAO just replied that he knew what he was doing.
“When I watch him, I see something special in him that no one else can understand. In the future, he will be a great man. He is already Imaleya's husband and we have to accept him in the SIMAO family.” Suno said, giving a small smile.
After these explanations, Suno SIMAO invites the whole family to have lunch. Imaleya on her side was silent. She was not happy with Pedro's nomination but she preferred not to give her opinion on it.
So, after lunch with the family, she stayed in a corner of the house and she was handling her phone. Suno SIMAO who saw it approached her..
"Why are you isolated? Are you better?" he asked tenderly with his voice still shaking.
Imaleya stares at her grandfather and she realizes he wasn't well.
"Grandpa what's wrong with you?" she retorted immediately after noticing her grandfather was out of shape.
“Follow me to my office. I have a confession to make to you.” Added Suno SIMAO
Without further ado, Imaleya and Suno isolated themselves from the others to chat.
••• IN SUNO SIMAO'S OFFICE •••
“I'm old and I'm dying. I would like you to promise me that you won't tell anyone about what I'm going to reveal to you my darling” Suno SIMAO said, leaning on the table in his office.
"What's happening to you grandpa? I swear you're scaring me." Imaleya replied with her fine voice that echoed in Suno's ears.
"In reality, I'm going to die soon. I'm suffering from an incurable disease and the doctors said I won't last more than a year. So my days are numbered my darling." Said Suno SIMAO coughing . A few drops of blood came out of his mouth.
Frightened, Imaleya rushed to give her water and a dish towel. Then they continued their conversations and Suno SIMAO asked Imaleya to be lucid and that she should not follow in the footsteps of her father Jim.
At the end, Suno SIMAO informed Imaleya that he will come and live with them for a while to get to know son-in-law Pedro better.
"Okay Grandpa. Don't worry. I won't disappoint you." Imaleya replied enthusiastically.
Nevertheless, she had red eyes and a heavy heart. Learning that her grandfather was dying traumatized her. She wanted to cry but Suno SIMAO stopped her.
After their conversation, Imaleya and her grandfather Suno SIMAO went back to the living room.
"I think we're leaving." Jim said nastily when he saw his father coming.
"Be more docile while talking to grandfather." Imaleya answered.
"Don't worry my darling. Your father has always been arrogant. Besides, I think I'm going to follow you. I'm going to live with you for a few days." Added Suno SIMAO
After this statement from Suno SIMAO, Jim frowned because he didn't want his father to come and live with him but he couldn't refuse him that.
••• LATER •••
They finally left Suno SIMAO's home for Jim's.
However, Imaleya was in her room with her mother Nikita Bellucci. They had a lot to say to each other and besides, Imaleya wanted to know if her mother had come back for good or if she was going to leave again. Meanwhile, Jim was chatting in the office with Pedro.
"I don't know what my father saw in you to give you enough privileges but know that with me your life will always be the same as before. You are still my slave and that will not change." Said Jim scolding Pedro. His red eyes were wide and he was looking at Pedro spitefully.
For his part, Pedro was quiet. After a while, Nikita Bellucci walks into Jim's office.
"Sorry if I'm interrupting you boys." She said simply.
Then she smiles and walks towards Pedro.
"I would like to speak with my husband please. Could you give us a moment?" she added.
"With pleasure ma'am." Pedro answered.
This is how Pedro leaves the office and goes to his room when a female voice calls out to him. This voice was fine and soft as it penetrated Pedro who in turn destabilized for a moment. It was Imaleya. Pedro turns and walks towards her.
“Where are you going?” asked Imaleya abruptly.
"I'm going to bed." Pedro replied enthusiastically.
"My grandfather is in the house and you're going to sleep in another room? He'll be mad if he finds out because we're already married and we're supposed to sleep together. Follow me to my room." Said- her suddenly.
Without further ado, Pedro accompanies Imaleya to her room.
••• INSIDE THE ROOM •••
"Let things be clear between the two of us. I don't love you and I never will. If I took this initiative it's only to appease my grandfather's heart. So don't you dare to treat me like your wife. You must not touch me or sleep with me. You will sleep on the floor and I will sleep on the bed. Is that understood? Imbecile." She said suddenly, frowning.
“Yes, I understood.” Pedro replied simply.
Then Imaleya spits in her face again and she goes to bed. Annoyed, Pedro stayed at the beginning without doing anything.
After laying down on the bed, Imaleya takes her cell phone and she messages a friend on Instagram. Pedro meanwhile, was still standing and watching her with frowning eyebrows. He was so angry that he wanted to react immediately to put an end to this humiliation." How dare she spit in my face? " he whispered.Suddenly, he turns around and walks towards Imaleya's bedroom door. Then he opens that door to go out when Imaleya asks him to come back to sleep. " Where are you going? You don't listen when I talk to you? I told you to sleep in my room to avoid my grandfather's wrath. " She added arrogantly.Her eyes were fixed on Pedro and she was staring at him constantly. After Imaleya's words, Pedro froze for a moment. Then he turns to Imaleya and also stares at her impertinently. His heart was so heavy that he wanted to say something in order to have a clear conscience." You want to appease your grandfather's heart, right? Ok, that's good. But I won't accept that you humiliate me for him
On the ground, Pedro had an annoying look and Imaleya smiled because it did her a lot of good to have jostled him. Then she looks at the partners of the family business and she asks them to continue the meeting without giving importance to Pedro." He's an idiot that I have to drag everywhere I go. Unfortunately, he's my husband and I have to live with that. " She added arrogantly, shrugging her shoulders.Pedro meanwhile; remained silent and disoriented. He couldn't believe that Imaleya had humiliated him. Suddenly, the door opens abruptly and it was Suno SIMAO who entered the meeting room. His gaze quickly lands on Pedro who was still on the ground and then he looks at Imaleya and the associates. When these associates saw him, they all got up immediately to greet him, except Imaleya, who had her head bowed. She was handling her phone and she was very concentrated that she hadn't noticed the presence of her grandfather Suno SIMAO. After a while, Suno SIMAO asked the associates to sit
Suno SIMAO is sitting in his office and he's been hoping for Pedro's arrival for a while. It's already nine o'clock in the morning and he hasn't seen Pedro come to work yet and that disturbs him.Indeed, Pedro has some documents that Suno SIMAO hopes to consult before starting the day's activities. Tired of waiting any longer, he then takes his bag and opens it to pull out a cell phone. Once the phone is in hand, Suno SIMAO dials Pedro's phone number and calls him. Unfortunately, Pedro is unreachable. He tries again a second and a third time but Pedro is still unreachable. Desperate, he shakes his head and sighs.“ What is he still doing at home? Is he in trouble? Or does he not see that it is already nine o'clock? ” Suno SIMAO asks, placing his phone on the table .After, he picks up the phone again intending to call Jim then someone knocks on his office door suddenly." I hope it's Pedro. Well.. it must surely be him! " He said in a low voice, looking at the door of his office.He w
*** THREE HOURS LATER ***“ That someone can identify me this young man. I would like to know his name and work. If possible, what family is he from? It's amazing and still awful to see the state he's in. Let's just hope he will survive."These are the statements of the doctor who treated Pedro. He is also the boss of the clinic and he was talking briefly with Ruby a few hours later.But before that, Ruby also wanted to be part of the team of doctors who took care of Pedro and the boss of the clinic assigned her to another sick patient.Indeed, Pedro was escorted to the clinic where Ruby also worked. He was therefore lying in the operating room and his state of health worsened." If I must be honest, I will deduce that this young man has little chance of surviving. In addition, he should have died since. " The clinic's boss explained by signing the documents that were on the table in his office. He had just left the operating room and he wanted to know who would be responsible for pa
" I would also like to know why you are looking at me that way. Do I look like a dead person? " Pedro says and he's smiling. His gaze was on Imaleya. Jim, on the other hand, was frowning.This is also the first time that Pedro laughs in the presence of Jim. He was calm and he was not afraid. Upset by this behavior of Pedro, Jim wanted to get him out of the office when suddenly, Suno SIMAO is shaking again . He had a hot body and his health was getting worse. Doctor Alvaro who is near him notices this and he panics." My dear JIM ! We are going to lose your father. If things continue like this, Suno SIMAO risks dying. " says Doctor Alvaro in a trembling voice.His gaze was fixed on Jim and he didn't know what to do. Stress suddenly took hold of him and he remained silent." Doctor Alvaro ! Do something please . You should save my father. He must not die please." Jim replies aloud after noticing Doctor Alvaro panicking.So, JIM was also sweating because he was scared and he was embarras
While Imaleya wonders about the possibilities that allowed Pedro to still be alive, Jim, on the other hand, was thinking. He was looking for a solution to prevent Pedro from talking about his misadventure to Suno SIMAO. According to him, if Suno learned that Pedro had been the victim of an assassination attempt, his health could relapse. And without further ado, JIM separates from his father then he goes towards Pedro. Once near him, he exhales." Follow me Pedro. I have something important to tell you."JIM spoke with an angry look. He is in front of Pedro and he imposed himself to him." OK sir. "Pedro answers shyly even if he is surprised." What does he want to talk to me about? I hope he's not planning another bad move for me." He whispered as he left Suno SIMAO's office with Jim.Once they found themselves outside, Jim did not hesitate to order Pedro not to speak of his misadventure to Suno at the risk of deteriorating his health." I know you were the victim of an assassinatio
Doctor Alvaro was looking at the others and he was shaking with fear. He was sweating profusely and his heart was beating very fast . His breathing became complicated because it is impossible for him to announce the death of JIM." He can't die."He said as he shed tears. He is also tormented and he was looking to all sides. Imaleya who was talking with her grandfather Suno SIMAO quickly turns her gaze to Doctor Alvaro and she sees that her father Jim is on the ground. In addition a lot of blood flowed from his head." Dad! What happened? "She said by going hastily towards Doctor Alvaro. Suno SIMAO and Pedro heard her speak and they simultaneously turned their gaze to Doctor Alvaro too. " Oh my God! What is it? "Suno SIMAO immediately asks, ordering the musicians to stop the music.It is only then that Doctor Alvaro gets up and announces to the family that Jim SIMAO is dead." I'm sorry to say it like this, but I couldn't do anything to help him. " he says, lowering his gaze. He wa
A few minutes after hanging up; Doctor Alvaro's phone rings again. He takes it and notices that it is still JIM SIMAO. Instead of picking up, he let the phone ring and he was reading a document. He was trying to calm his anger.*** A FEW DAYS LATER ***The eyes of Ruby ; the doctor who had rescued Pedro looked heavy. She had worked all night yesterday without sleeping and today she is exhausted. Currently, she has only one desire and that is to sleep. So, she lowers her head on the table in her office and she is dozing . Suddenly, she jumps violently when she hears the noises her door was making. It was someone who constantly knocked on the door of her office. She glanced exasperatedly out the window and noticed that it was Pedro." Finally he's back." she whisperedSuddenly, she stands up and allows Pedro to enter. Once inside Ruby's office, Pedro was smiling." What makes you smile ? "Ruby asks Pedro, rubbing her eyes." I'm here to get my phone. I left it here." Pedro replies, smi
Rivera began to cry. She watched Izibio leave, and she also glanced at the check. So she stood there without moving for several hours. After thirty minutes, Suzy and Pedro appeared. Seeing the state Rivera was in, Susy rushed to her mother." What's wrong with you? " She said hurriedly.Rivera blinked slightly, and then she noticed Pedro's presence. She also rushes to Pedro and then slaps him." You're a son of a bitch. You're a piece of shit and an asshole. I am sorry to have spoken to you. " Rivera said. That's how she began to insult Pedro without stopping. Suzy tried to calm her down in several ways before the insults stopped." Izibio came to see me earlier." Rivera said after calming down." Oh, he did ! Dad came here? And what happened? " Suzy reacts with great curiosity.Without further ado, Rivera tells her daughter everything that happened between her and Izibio. After her story, Pedro finally understands why Rivera was insulting him, but Suzy didn't understand anything." I
*** TEN MINUTES LATER ***" What's happening to me? Why can't I handle this situation like a disciplined man? Why do I let Pedro make the best decisions for our family all the time? Am I a bad father? Have I been a bad husband? And if Pedro wasn't here, would I still be with my family? Or would I have learned the truths that Rivera was otherwise hiding from me? " Izibio said.He had a lot of questions and didn't know what to think. Moreover, he thought about what Pedro had asked him to do whereas he did not want to reconcile with Rivera." If I accept her again in my life, what will happen to me? Should I do it only for the sake of my family members? What about my own happiness? " he continued.The next few seconds, his phone rang and Izibio realized it was Suzy." This is one of them. Still, I loved her very much. I always loved her, even after I learned she wasn't my daughter. But that was not enough. She disappointed me a lot " Izibio whispered. So he watched the cell phone ring fo
*** A WEEK LATER ***Today is a day different from any other. Pedro is in a good mood and is already in his office. Since being appointed financial advisor for the family business, he has made a huge effort to perform well. His father izibio is so proud of him and it gives him more confidence.Indeed, Pedro was finally healed and he and his father forgave each other. Even Sebastian apologized to Pedro and everything was back to normal in the family. To seal this, Izibio changes Pedro's position. This gives Pedro the opportunity to be at the center of expenses and income of the family business. With this new position that Pedro obtains, the economy of the family business will not collapse.So this morning, Pedro is the first to come to work at the office. His father and brother are still at home. He was re-reading documents he had already written yesterday during the development of a project, and then his phone rang. Pedro looks at the home screen and notices that it was Suzy." Oops !
" Thank you very much Sebastian." Immediately Izibio reacts with a few tears in his eyes.Indeed, while Izibio was living badly because of the whims of his son Pedro, Rivera spent her time advising Suzy. She would like her daughter Suzy to do everything possible to obtain forgiveness from her father Izibio." That's the only thing that matters to you right now. As for me, I am condemned to be punished for betraying my husband. " That was the sentence she kept repeating when she often spoke with Suzy. As for Erickson, he left Washington for good and moved to Las Vegas. Starting a new life is not something so difficult for him because after spending several days in pain and suffering, he miraculously won the national lottery. He has pocketed $10 million and plans to start his own business. He already had ideas for projects and with this amount in the bank, he will be able to realize his dream. His only goal is to become his father's most direct competitor. Sitting on a bench by the sea
Emma's father is a tender man who loves his daughter very much. To achieve her happiness, he is ready for anything. Unfortunately, this time, he would like to put the interest of the family business before the happiness of his daughter and that is why he agrees to make a deal with Izibio. It is an agreement that will benefit many people. As for Emma, she has a plan in mind. A plan that she will not hesitate to execute after her marriage to Pedro.*** TWO DAYS LATER ***Since meeting Emma, Pedro is no longer the same man. He is getting more and more complicated and no one can joke with him. Even his father Izibio can't joke with him. Today is Sunday and Izibio had planned to visit Emma and her father. However, Izibio forgot to inform Pedro as well. So he goes to Pedro's room and knocks. Pedro allows him to enter and once inside, Izibio smiles at him first and then tells him to get ready to leave for Emma's house at 10:00. It was 8:30 when he spoke to Pedro. After hearing his father's w
" I think Dad went too far this time. It seems to me that he is still trying to control my life.That's something I hate. "Pedro is in his room and he was whispering words. He was angry and didn't know what to do. Nevertheless, he was sure that he would not agree to marry a woman he did not know. Without further ado, the door to his room opened. It was Emma, the businessman's daughter. She is a charming lady with a radiant face. Her beauty attracted many men to her, but she did not allow any man to flirt with her. And when Pedro saw her in his room, his heart started beating very fast. On top of that, he also had a headache." Hi dear friend. I hope you are well." Emma said in a soft, seductive voice.In response, Pedro was silent for a few seconds and looked tenderly at Emma. The lovely lady salutes Pedro again before he realizes it." Uh.... Hello. Sorry for the time I used to reply to you. " he said with difficulty." Don't worry about it. I am here to speak with you. I hope you ar
Anger seizes izibio and he spoke violently to Rivera. Things were not easy for Rivera so she decided to leave. She didn't have the opportunity to say everything she wanted to say and she also noticed that she couldn't do anything to control izibio's anger." My ex-husband has completely changed. I don't know if one day our family will be able to reconcile. " Rivera whispered. She had tears in her eyes and already regretted having deceived Izibio." I admit that I cheated on my husband and that's not a good thing. However, no one is trying to find out why I did it. That's too bad. " she added.Thus, she immersed herself in worries and she was looking for solutions to solve this terrible family problem.*** AT THE END OF THE DAY ***" Good evening sir and welcome." Lucretia said with a smiling look. She was getting some fresh air and as soon as she saw her boss, she rushed to greet him." How are you ? I hope your first day at work was great ? " Izibio asks, looking tenderly at Lucretia
Arriving in the kitchen, SEBASTIEN smiled slightly as he saw Lucretia working. Suddenly he rushes to help her. "What do you need right now my dear?" Sebastien said very attentively. In response, Lucretia asks him to get out of the kitchen. "Is that how you deal with all the employees in the house? If that's the case, know that I'm different. I didn't come to your house to be flirted with." She reacts coldly . By pushing Sebastien away, Lucretia didn't know she had just made a mistake. As soon as Sebastian is pushed away, he frowns and then breaks a glass of water. Then he leaves the kitchen. He goes straight to his room and then takes his cell phone. He calls Izibio and informs him that he wants to get rid of the new cook. "First it's Pedro who asks me to fire her. Then it's you who wants it too. However, you agreed that she should stay with us. May I know what caused this change? suddenly of an opinion?” Izibio asks. Faced with this question, Sébastien did not want to lie to Izi
It was getting late. Izibio is at home and he is already sleeping. Sébastien and Pedro meanwhile, they were in front of a video game and they were playing it together. After a long day of work, they decided to distract themselves in order to think of something else. During this time, the employees of the house continued the housework. After a while, someone rings the doorbell of their house. "Who could it be at this time?" Asks Pedro. "I hope it's not Suzy. Dad made it clear that he wouldn't want to see her again." Reacts Sébastien. As Pedro and Sébastien were talking, the chef comes towards them. He had a young lady by his side. "She's a lady. She's here for work. She's asking for the boss." The head chef said. As soon as he finishes speaking, Sebastian turns around first to see the young lady. "Wow!" he said without hesitation as soon as he saw the young lady. It was Lucretia. Then Pedro also turns around. "Lucretia?" he said suddenly. "Good evening Pedro. And I apologize fo
