CHAPTER 28 °°°
AUTHOR'S POV
Months later...
Fernanda at her new work place in a fashion cooperation in Florida.
"Hello bro" Fernanda said over the phone excitedly.
"You sound excited, are you finally familiar with your current environment" Fernando chuckled.
"I got used to the environment, months ago and all thanks to Dad I got a job and accommodation immediately I got here"
"Fernanda seems like you're back on track but when do plan on going back to the industry. I can't wait to see you on magazines" Fernando said with a smile.
"It's not that easy Fernando, they offered me some commercials to begin with but I don't think I want to continue my career with the fame I had before. I want to start from the crash, I want to pick the left pieces and create a new fame for myself"
"That's a good start. There's something else Fernanda.." Fernando hesitated.
"Something else?"
"Jeromino kept coming back here ever since you traveled. He kept on pleading for me to get him your number"
"He has a family now so why's he coming back. You should give him strict others to stay away from our family so he stops coming back. I've moved on completely and I'm living a very happy life with Marisol, I have no intentions of letting him back into my life"
"But he said he doesn't have a family. Fernanda are you sure you confirmed that information?" Fernando asked curiously and Fernanda blinked continuously.
"Do I need to verify that as well. My ears can never deceive me and I didn't leave Mexico because of Jeromino. I left Mexico because I needed some time alone to look out for myself and Marisol so till I get back, I don't want to ever hear of Jeromino. We brought something great into this world together and I will be grateful to him for that but I can't keep on hoping for things that can never come through. Oh Fernand I have to go now, break time is over"
"Alright, take care of yourself. I will come visit when I take my leave"
"You're always welcome bro. Bye" Fernanda said with a smile then hung up.
Fernanda went back to the office and Marisol's nursing nanny came to the office.
"Oh my baby girl, hope she didn't trouble you much" Fernanda smiled as she carried Marisol in her arms.
"No ma'am, she was all peaceful. She didn't trouble me much" The nanny said smiling.
"Romina you can take the rest of the day off, I will take over from here"
"She's so adorable... Wow she looks lovely. Fernanda your daughter is beautiful" some employees gasped as they saw Marisol.
SEVEN YEARS LATER...
At the airport...
Fernanda landed at the Mexico international airport.
She walked majestically with her suitcase on her left side and Marisol next to her.
"Mummy where are we heading now? Are we seeing grandpa first?" Marisol asked with a smile.
"Not yet dear, we are visiting uncle Luciano first. I have to go pay my respect" Fernanda replied.
"Ma'am please wait for me!" Diego Fernanda's assistant and manager shouted as he ran after them with so many luggages.
"Diego be quick" Marisol said smiling.
"Fernanda ma'am what else do you need for your visit?" Diego asked as he ran up to Fernanda.
"We would just grab some flowers on our way to the graveyard" Fernanda said slowly.
They got to their car and drove down to the graveyard after buying some flowers by the road side.
"How've you been uncle? Hope you're happy wherever you are right now. I'm sorry I couldn't avenge your death. My carelessness lead you to an early grave but I promise I won't let your death be in vain" Fernanda murmured as tears roll down her cheeks.
That's why I came back uncle, I'm back so I will get justice for both you and mummy.
"Mummy, wipe off your tears. Uncle Luciano wouldn't be happy if he sees you crying right now. You haven't seen him for a very long time so please show him a happy face" Marisol said softly handing her handkerchief to Fernanda.
"Thank you so much sweetie. Uncle, you're probably wondering how baby Marisol is, she's a big girl now. She lectures me on so many things and I have no idea how I would have lived on if I don't have her" Fernanda said with a smile wiping off her tears.
"Hello uncle Luciano, I've never met you in person but mummy always talked about you. I hope you're happy in heaven" Marisol said cutely and Fernanda giggled.
"Uncle if you were here right now, you would call her cute"
"Of course I'm cute mummy"
ELIAS
I dropped by Jeromino's building, after my sealing some deals with Accord designers.
"What are you doing here? Every since you got yourself out from jail why do you keep visiting me like we're friends?" Jeromino said sarcastically as he glared at me.
"I got out of jail six years back so why are you bringing that up. Anyways I've got some great news for you" I said in a sing song and Jeromino scoffed.
"I'm not interested so please can you leave before Amanda gets back from school"
"You have a daughter of your own so why do you keep shouldering Valentina's responsibilities. I have no idea where she fell out from then landed such huge responsibilities on your shoulders" I hissed.
"Amanda is my daughter as well. It doesn't matter if I'm not her biological father but I agreed on being her father so will you stop being nosy and leave my house"
"Marisol wouldn't be happy seeing you care so much for someone else's child when you never showered her with that kind of care" I hinted and he glared at me.
"I love my daughters regardless of the fact that Fernanda took Marisol away from me"
"You don't sound happy to see Fernanda. Well I'm so happy to see her" I smiled.
"What's that supposed to mean?" He asked curiously.
"Fernanda is back to Mexico. Some paparazzi's took secret shot of her and her daughter heading out of the airport" I said scrolling through the photos and Jeromino snatched the phone out of my hand.
"When was this photos taken?" He asked curiously.
"She's so adorable, she looks just like me. I can't believe she's all grown up. She's a big girl now" He added with a smile as his eyes became teary.
"They arrived early hours of this morning. I'm a changed man now so I think Fernanda will be able to forgive me. When I was in jail I couldn't get her thoughts off my head and how lucky I can be, Marisol is shooting a commercial at accord and I just finished signing the contract" I smiled.
"What did you just say?"
"If I win the little girl's heart, it's a key way in winning her mother's heart. I can't wait to work alongside Fernanda, I can't believe it's been seven years already"
"Elias don't you dare play any schemes with my daughter. I will kill you if you go anywhere close to my daughter" He threatened and I scoffed.
"What's wrong with trying to win Fernanda's heart. You're after your daughter while I'm after Fernanda. We're both going after two different things"
"My feelings for Fernanda hasn't changed one bit and I'm going to win her back. You don't want to play this game of love with me right? So back off" Jeromino said seriously and Valentina walked in with Amanda.
"What were you saying? Who's Fernanda?" Valentina asked with a smile covering up her jealousy.
"Daddy!" Amanda called out and ran to give Jeromino a hug.
"That's my girl. How was school today? Hope your presentation went well?" Jeromino asked softly as he caressed her hair.
"I smell future trouble already..." I said sarcastically.
"Elias shut it and leave. You've overstayed your welcome" He whispered to me then I stood up.
"I was about leaving already. Amanda dear take care of yourself okay, you will be meeting your sister soon" I said sarcastically and Jeromino glared at me.
"Bye Valentina" I scorned then went out.
I wasn't lying when I said I had feelings for Fernanda so I just hope Jeromino didn't take my words for granted. I uttered in my mind and my phone started ringing.
"Hello sir, when are we scheduling the shoot for Marisol Dante?" My secretary asked and I smiled.
"Let's schedule that for tomorrow. The little girl needs to get some rest" I smiled then hung up.
"See you soon Marisol" I smiled then got into my car.
FERNANDA
It was late already and I've put Marisol to sleep in Abuela's room. I went back to the sitting room and Fred and Fernando were all sitting there.
"Marisol is asleep already?" Fred asked with a smile and I nodded.
"We need to enroll her into a new school tomorrow so tomorrow is a big day for her"
"Do you have any school in mind?" Fernand asked.
"Nichols international academy, that's one of the best schools so far in Mexico city" I said
"Wow, impressive Fernanda. That's school for rich kids, I'm pretty sure Marisol will love it there" Fred smiled.
"Fernanda what inspired you to get Marisol into the industry. I saw her on so many magazines covers and I couldn't believe my eyes" Fernand said.
"Marisol started modelling since she was two years, I had no idea why I brought into the industry. She just had the gift for it"
"Of course she would, both her parents are both supermodels so what were you expecting" Fernand giggled.
NEXT DAY...
Marisol and I arrived at Nichols international academy.
"Marisol are you ready?"
"Yes mummy" she said excitedly and we head out of the car garage but my eyes met with Jeromino's.
He was holding a little girl's hand alongside a young lady by his side.
"Fernanda!" He called out swiftly and I held Marisol's hand then ignored his call but he ran after us.
"Daddy!" The little girl called and he stopped running.
