” Do you think you can fight them like this Nadine? You’re pregnant and in few weeks you’ll be a nursing mother so how are you planning to fight them, ” Julianna asked so worried.
” I will do that, Nadine don’t have to do anything, ” Miguel quickly answered while Mr. Josie stood up.
” Don’t take up a fight that isn’t yours. We have our own enemies and we can’t afford to add to that girl’s own, ” he rebuked.
” But that Kendall and his family have to pay for everything not only what they did to Cassandra but to a lot of people who were under their bondage, ” Nadine said.
” If you are scared then we don’t actually need your help dad..
“Am not scared Miguel, am only worried about my children safety and as for you Nadine this the time you have to be more careful, you will soon be a mother and then you’ll realize the safety of your son is all that matters to you and not to take revenge for what they once did to that Lorenzo, ” he said then walked out.
” I want to leave, ” Cassie said, walking up to them.
“You’ve done more than enough for me and I will understand if you can’t go further to help me. Am going back home, ” she said.
“What! Nadine said surprised to hear that.
“This time that Kamil and Audrey will finish you off without hesitation, ” she said.
” That won’t make any sense. We have to be sensitive and plan this well. Those people might end up klling you, ” Miguel said.
” We have to gather enough evidence to destroy them, ”
” Cassie you are safe here with us. Miguel is right we have to figure out this well and as we do so, you have to keep staying here, ” Julianna said.
” Thanks a lot Ma’am, am just tired of staying Indoors always but I will do everything i can to make sure I see the end of my enemies, ” she said.

“Aren’t you tired of showing up here? Miguel asked so angry as he remembered all that Cassie told him about Stacy cheating on him.
“What else do you want me to do to prove to you am back for you Miguel,” she said with a sad face.
” Nothing, you had your chance but you destroy it, you destroy everything I helped you established and you still think am a fool that you will run back to and continue from where you stopped!
“What did you mean? I know I demand too much but..
” That you ended up stealing from me Stacy. You were also cheating on me and you never truly loved me. I know more than you could ever imagine, now can you leave and don’t show your face to me again,” he sneered.
” I see..,” Stacy nodded, feeling so disappointed and wonder how Miguel get to know she was cheating back then because he has never caught her cheating on him.

Miguel sat down deep in his thoughts when Stacy left. He remembered why he couldn’t remember Cassie when she was first brought to his hospital, at first the face look familiar but he couldn’t place if he has seen her before or not but he has seen her once when Stacy introduce her to him thou he couldn’t recall well because Stacy had lots of friends.
He quickly picked up his phone and made a call.
?Make sure is private and if you’re done investigating you should let me know,” he ended the call.

@Adams Mansion
.
” He won’t accept me now,” Stacy complain to Austin about Miguel. She wonder how he knows she was cheating on him, well only Laurel knows about that but they’re no longer friends with her after having a heated argument. She thought Laurel was the only good friend she had because she seems to be the one who loved her and was interested in her success all the time. She made her, her secretary not knowing that Laurel was planning something huge to destroy her and to take her money which she succeeded in stealing all the money in the brand and quickly fly out of the country painting Stacy black because everyone thought it was Stacy that stole the money. They almost took her to jail but she paid half of the money and the next thought is getting back with Miguel so he can help her clear the debt and her name too.
“Laurel was a devil herself and who knows if she was the one that tell Miguel about us,” she said.
” Laurel is nowhere to be found in the country so how can she possibly tell Miguel?
“Oh! Cassandra, that girl from Manila that once lives with us. Laurel paint her black making me think Cassie was the bad guy not knowing Laurel was paving way for herself just to destroy me,”
” And what about the girl?
“She knows everything about me but.. it’s been long I hear from her. I don’t even know if she’s still existing or not?
“You’re being so paranoid Stacy,”
“It’s easy to say that because you’re not in my shoes. You couldn’t even give me what I ask for and that’s why I will keep chasing after Miguel maybe you should help me talk to him,” she stood up.
” what are you insinuating? Austin asked with a frown on his face.
“Miguel is better than you and he will give me whatever I asked for,” she sneered then carried her hand bag and left in anger.
“Miguel.. Miguel.. it has always been him starting from Dianne and now Stacy. He remembered when Miguel first introduced Stacy to him he felt so jealous because he has always been jealous of Miguel thinking Miguel always have everything. He swore to get Stacy for himself and he eventually did, knowing that Stacy was only after Miguel’s money.

@Montes Mansion..
Cassie walk round staring the beautiful mansion, this her first time coming out from her room. Indeed fate is a fickle mistress that can turn tables around. She never imagined staying in the Montes Mansion, all she ever wished was to work in their hospital and now here she is with their entire family, right in their mansion. She wonder what her fate will be afterwards. She remembered her dad and uncle, she missed them so much and wonder how they’ve been coping since her dismissed. Those sweet memories she shared with Kamil flash through her mind as she stopped walking and closed her eyes.
***This the fool I’ve been telling you about*. Kamil’s voice echoed in her mind.
” You’re just a fool Cassie,” she told herself.
“Hey Cassie,” Nadine called when she saw her walking towards the swimming pool.
Cassie sighted her with two of the maids massaging her legs. She went to them.
“Hi! She smile then sat down next to her.
“Thanks you can leave now,” Nadine said to the maid and they left.
” How’re you coping? Cassie asked staring at her big tummy.
” With this? Nadine asked referring to her big baby bump.
” Yes..
“Well it’s just few weeks to go and anytime from now I will have my baby”
Cassie stared back at her seeing how happy she look.
“Your husband must be so lucky having you. You have everything you’ve ever need. You’re married probably to the love of your life and you’re starting a family soon with your baby on the way. How lucky some people can be ,” Cassie smiled, imagining what it means to grow up rich having everything at your beck and call.
“It’s not all about the money. Yes all my life I grew up in this rich family and I don’t know what it means to lack but I was being controlled. Starting when I was a kid I told who to associate with and who not to be friends with, i think the only thing I choose for myself is working in the Montes-Tech. I don’t have the freedom to do what others are doing.
Your story wasn’t all too good but I think you’re lucky having your parents who love and support you even when you insisted to follow Stacy to manila, you said your dad didn’t agree to that but he let you go to chase your dreams because he believed in you. And even when they were not comfortable with your relationship with Kamil they let you be because they see how much you loved him, they supported you in everything and you have all they people and friends in the neighborhood who love you but my case was different.
I was forced to marry Leonard because he’s well known and also for the continuity of the company. Lorenzo was the man I’ve always loved but my family sees him as a nobody, they never accepted him..” Nadine said with so much bitterness then paused as she held back her tears.
“what happened then? Cassie asked.
” We later broke up, I caught him cheating on me,” Nadine sighed.
” I’ve always knew men are not to be trusted. What Kamil did to me prove to me that men are not to be trusted again,”
” I don’t know why he cheated Cassie but am sure he still loves me. I already made my final decision to marry Leonard because I was in a dilemma and have to choose my family, my dad wanted to disowned me if I didn’t do as he says so I have no choice, I did what was right for the company, I want to move on but I couldn’t and the most devastating moment of my life was when he died, he was murdered, his house burnt down just the same way his parents died. I never got the chance to say goodbye,”
” Do you know who did that to him?
“I did everything I could, the police did their investigation but nothing fruitful was coming forth. I wish he’s still alive somewhere else just like you. I know your family and everyone must have thought you’re d.ead just the same way with Lorenzo. If only I could turn back the hand of time,”
” And what if he’s still alive somewhere? Cassie said giving Nadine a little hope.
“Then he should be here atleast for me . I saw his dead body, he was the only one inside the house when it got burnt down, he was burnt beyond recognition,”
” What if he’s not the one you guys buried? What if he’s alive somewhere just like me here? I believe in miracle, anything can happen,”
“I wish so, if only wishes do come true,” Nadine said sadly.
“Wishes do come true of course but atimes in a terrible way. Just look at me, my wish is to be in manila and work in your family hospital and it happens right! am in Manila and even lives in your mansion, I get to meet Miguel, you and your parents it’s a dream come true for me,”
” What a twist of fate,”
” So now you’re married to Leonard?
“Sure… Maybe it’s for the best and also for my unborn baby. I don’t want him to grow up in a separate home atleast he have Leonard to call his father,”
” Huh… Meaning? Cassie asked confused with what she say. She thought it’s Leonard baby she’s pregnant with.
“Lorenzo is gone now and I just have to accept the reality of life and deal with it. I have to learn to love and accept Leonard so that our son won’t have to grow up in a separate home,” she corrected when she realized she had almost spill the truth to Cassie.
She promised herself not to tell anyone the true identity about the father of her baby, not now or ever…
