Ilayda's POV :

My head was throbbing so much, it's like I've been hit by a truck, my eyes felt too heavy, and the voices around me don't make it any easier, I tried to open  my eyes but the light is keeping me from doing so 

"she's opening her eyes " I heard a male voice say 

finally, I got to open my eyes feeling as someone is holding my hand and the first person I saw was Christan

"Hey baby" his eyes looked filled with worry and sadness " how are you feeling ? " he asked

"I'm good" I started lifting myself a little bit 

"you should lay down you're still tired, love " I looked at my side to find Nona sitting in the corner of the bed while Mr. Elfonso was standing by the door and Maribelle was behind Christan

"What happened? "  

"You don't remember ?" Christan asked me

"Well obviously not genius if she's asking " Maribelle answered back earning a hard glare from her brother 

" The last I remember is that I went on dinner with a friend then he brought me home and then...."

then suddenly the terrifying memories came flooding back and it hit me like a truck

"That...wo.." it took me three deep breaths to slightly calm my terrified self and actually get few words out " that woman...what was she doing here, wh...who is she ?" 

The idea that she's back that I was once again facing her that the last time I saw her she was.....Did she come for me? I can't help but wonder, how did she find me?

" Why ?" the question managed to get me out of my thought

"What ?"

"Why? why are you asking about her, do you know her? " I couldn't answer his questions, it's not that I don't trust him I just don't want to live that night all over again

" I'm tired, I guess I'm going to sleep for a bit " without looking at anyone's face I turned my back to them  and I closed my eyes

"come on let her rest " I heard Maribelle saying and I silently thanked her. I heard the door closing with everyone leaving so I turned around only to be faced by Christan

"What is it you're not telling me? "

" Chris, please I don't want to talk about it I'm begging you " I was on the edge of crying and  I guess Christan sensed that so he sat on the bed next to me, holding me in his arms.

"I know that you're hiding so many things from me and it's okay if you don't want to talk about it right now, but I just want to take your pain away " he was not laying next to me " it hurts seeing you in pain "

"Sorry " he cupped my face in between his hands 

"Don't say that baby, I'm here for you no matter what"

" Are you going to tell me who's that woman and what was she doing here ? " he sighed

"Remember when father told you all that he did some business with the wrong people and now he's trying to correct his mistake  ?" I nod " well she is this 'wrong people', she's the one doing business with my father " he finished saying.

"Why do I feel like you're hiding something  ? "

"It's because I am, but you don't need to know everything, "he said honestly, "believe me I'll keep you safe" those last words are enough for me to stop asking questions. And we both stayed in complete silence.

Christan was the first one to break the silence

"You came back early, now don't get me wrong I was happy that you don't have to stay with that man any longer but did something happened that got you back early?

"No I just thought that I need to get back to you quickly, and I was getting tired "

"So how was your night? "

"Good, you just like any two friend's night would go, you have nothing to be worried about, besides I only got my eyes on you "

"I only got my eyes on you too"

"Good" was the last word I said before I gave up to the sudden sleepiness that hovered on my body, while I was still in Chris's arms

 Christan's POV :

I watched her beautiful sleepy form, I watched this beautiful woman s"sleeping in my arms, this woman who managed to break my icy heart, this woman who turned my world upside down, this woman that I was helplessly in love with, not that I regret it.

I do however regret that she had to see La Patrona, the terrified look on her face when she saw it never leaves my mind.

 I thought she will be late, that's why  I let that woman come to my house, I didn't want Ilayda to see her, but that bitch didn't accept to meet at the office after the words got to her that we weren't going to give her money anymore, she said she wanted to come home and also meet the family, she thought she would scare us, stupid bitch, that's why I let Ilayda leave tonight because God knows that if it wasn't for that I rather have her chained to the bed that to let her go with that fucker.  Come to think about it I still need to have a face-to-face with him.

I opened my eyes in the morning to find an empty bed next to me, Ilayda must have gotten up early. Indeed when I was in the kitchen she was already there with Nona in her maid outfit. I went next to her giving them both a kiss on the cheek 

"good morning, beautiful ladies "

"Good morning love" Nona answered

" morning," said  Ilayda " breakfast is ready on the table and everyone is there " I nod.

On the table, everyone was sitting

"It's about time you come I'm starving" Belle was always such a morning person

"Good morning everyone "

"How was your night? " Mother asked, and I knew what she was getting to

"It's was good mother Ilayda and I had such a lovely evening" Mom was shocked by my answer.

"This is not time for this none sense," Father said then he looked at me " when you're done you and me need to talk in my office "

The breakfast was quiet except for a few spoken words by Belle who was trying to soften the tension, but I knew nothing will be the same anymore.

I was finally done as I told my father and we were on our way to his office when Nona came and opened the door.

What a lovely fucking morning.

This so-called Patrona was now standing at our door with some guy behind her.

"What are you doing here? Had a dream about us ? " that's not what is worrying me the most what's bad is for her to see Ilayda again and for Ilayda to see her again, and by the look on my father's face, I could tell he was thinking about the same thing.

"I'm here because we didn't get to finish what we started yesterday because of you silly maid " she smirked " speaking of which hello there " she was looking at someone behind me and I had a pretty good idea who that person is, I turned to see a shocked and terrified Ilayda, she was looking at her then suddenly her eyes wined as she looked at something else, she was looking at the guy who was with Ilayda

"What are you doing here ? " the guy stepped forward " why are you here Rolando ? " she repeated her question, how does she know this guy?

" I'm afraid I'm not here for your baby doll, I'm here for business"
