"Just stay by his side until he remembers everything." "No. I have money, Ylona. I don't need your money," I told her coldly. "Why are you so hard to get? We need your help because Hercules is finding you! I'm his fiance but he can't remember anything! why does he have to look for you and not me." Frustration filled her face "That's not my problem anymore. If this is all we're going to talk about, I don't want to. I'm leaving," I told them coldly. I stood up and walked towards the door. I was about to go out when I was stunned by what he said. "You don't want? Then just wait, Talitha. Your money will disappear." I clenched my fist because of what he said. I didn't look at them anymore and walked straight out. I didn't pay attention to the way they looked at me. this is the last step I will take again. I traveled again towards La Consalancion because I had a lot left to do. It's been a few days since we talked to Hercules' family. They didn't bother me again and that's a good thing. I followed him with a smile while he smiled as he waved the toy. Caitlin is not here because she has a job at the resort that I also own. After we broke up, I left and started my own business. "You want more?" I asked him smiling. He quickly nodded. "Lithaaaa!!!" I stopped eating Baby Hero when Leon, my gay friend, came. "Why, Leon?" I asked him in wonder "Mrs. Galvez was at the resort. I'm looking for you and have companions, rich people." I felt my heart beat because of what he said. Rich? Maybe it's not them. I took Baby Hero from the chair and lifted him up. "Alright, I'm going. Come with me." Mrs. Galvez is the owner of the land where my resort is located. I just held my breath before I got on Leon's tricycle. In less than a few minutes we arrived. I see Caitlin who is outside the resort and seems to be waiting for someone. when he saw me, his face seemed to light up and he quickly approached me. "Litha, good and here it is. Here are the parents of your ex-husband," he whispered to her. I bit my lip before I gave him Baby Hero. Take care of him first. I first kissed Hero who was now smiling at me. "Mrs. Galvez," I called the lady. It quickly stood up and looked at me. "You're here, Ms. Fernandez. I want to talk to you about the land that you haven't fully paid yet," she said. I didn't look at them and only at Mrs. Just Galvez. "Can you straight to the point, Mrs. Galvez?" He sighed first. "I'm selling it to the Guevara couple." "We have something to talk about, Mrs. Galvez," I said emphatically. "Business is Business, Ms. Fernandez." got up and left so the three of us were left. My fist clenched because of the anger I would feel. Heartless! "What are you doing this to me? You said I don't want to enter your world! Haven't you put me through enough?" I told them without emotion "Even me, I will never let you into my daughter's world, Talitha. But because my daughter needs you, I will do it for her, even though I hate it." "I hate it too, Ylona. I hate it because I became your mother-in-law," I told her without emotion. he quickly looked at me and glared at me. "You hate me but you're here in front of me now and you're forcing your son to care for me?" "Because he needs you, Talitha! I'll pay doub-" I was startled by a small hand resting on my thigh. I looked down and a smiling child was looking at me while he was presenting something. "M-Mom!" "Hero..."
chapter 1
"M-Mom."
My eyes widened because he called me. I saw Caitlin running towards me. I looked at Ylona Guevara and Morgan Guevara who were now looking at the child Caitlin was holding.
"Get out first, Caitlin," I ordered her. he nodded and apologized.
"Who is he? Why did he call you mama? Is he my grandson?" Ylona asked him one question after another
I laughed sarcastically because of what he said. "If he becomes my son and the father is your son and you are the Grandmother. I'll just pray that it's just a dream."
"You're not answering my question! Is he my grandson, Talitha? You hide my grandson from my son! How dare you!"
I want to laugh because of what he says. "What else do I want to say? we don't have kids because that's what you want, right? The fact that Hercules did not have a child with me."
He was stunned by what he said. "I don't know why you have to do this. Hercules' fiance is there, Ylona. She can babysit your son, not me."
"Hercules doesn't need Lorraine. He's looking for you, hija." I turned my gaze to Morgan Guevara when he spoke.
"He hasn't eaten in days," said Ylona.
"That's not my problem anymore," I told them coldly but without emotion.
"Why are you so heartless?" Lorraine asked me, confused. I laughed softly and clapped my hands.
"Why don't you ask your soon to be mommy and daddy?" I looked at them, I smirked. "So don't wonder why I don't want to go to him."
"W-What do you want me to do, Talitha? I'm begging you... Please... just stay with him until he remembers everything."
Now he is begging me to stay with his son? Well, he's almost the one who hates me so much. I knew that I was poor enough to be married to a billionaire, but I didn't know that this would happen to me.
I know my heart is too hard because of what I'm doing now. I'm just hurt too, huh? Don't I have the right to throw away the person who destroyed me?
If I agree to what they want and when it's over, they won't bother me, right?
I looked at the couple. "S-Alright. I'll agree, three months, Ylona." The couple nodded slowly and smiled a little.
"And when the three months are up, don't bother me anymore."
I did not go to the hospital where Hercules was confined. I was at the door of the room when I heard a loud voice disappearing.
My copper eyes just rolled because his voice was so familiar. I opened the door and there was no one to enter. They continued to focus on him while the man who was disappearing stopped.
His green eyes that I haven't seen in a long time are now staring at me. It has matured more than before. He has a little beard on his face.
"B-Baby..." His red lips moved and he quickly left the hospital bed and walked closer to me. It doesn't seem like an accident anymore, ah.
He hugged me tightly. "B-Baby, I-I'm sorry... I forget our 2nd anniversary. Don't sulk," He said softly but softly. He caressed my face and smiled broadly.
I was dumbfounded because of what he said. I remembered it. This is the second anniversary that he forgot because he was doing a lot in his company because I was so sullen with him and ignored him for a few days.
"B-Baby, are you still mad at me?" I looked away from him and looked at his parents who were now happily looking at their son.
"You must be recovering, go back to your bed," I said to him. But it just snorted at me.
"No, I won't. Maybe when I wake up, he won't be by my side," he said.
"You need to rest more, Hercules," I said to him.
"Where's the "Babe" endearment?" I was so tsked
"Babe, you need to rest. You need to rest yourself," I told her. I took her by the hand and took her to her bed.
"Lie down," I ordered him. he followed so I put the blanket on his body

I pulled back when I finished but he quickly grabbed me back to him. I glared at him but he just grinned at me.
"B-Let go of me," I whispered to him annoyed and he didn't seem to hear because he hugged me even tighter.
"I think, Hercules. Your daddy and I are going home," Ylona said. She looked at me and smiled. My smile I knew meant something, I just nodded at him.
Hercules' parents left while the two of us were left behind. I looked at him again, he's looking at me.
"Get some rest," I said to him. I was about to turn around when he grabbed my wrist.
"When I fall asleep, will you leave?" he said to me like a child. I removed his hand and looked at him seriously.
"I still have a lot to do," I said to him. I saw the sadness in his green eyes but I ignored it.
We are not what we used to be. I'm here because I want him to feel what I felt before.
He turned his back on me, I know he's sulking like I said we're not like before when we sulked each other.
I left him like that and left his room. I took my phone out of my bag and called Caitlin. less than three rings he answered that. I went to the canteen.
"Tie!"
"How are you?" I asked
"You... I should ask you, Tali," his voice was serious. I took a deep breath.
"I-I'm fine."
"Are you sure about what you're doing? I don't want what happened to you to happen again," she said, seriously.
"I'm fine, Caitlin. I won't let that happen again," I said. "How is Hero?"
"Here, he's looking for you." I smiled because of what he said.
Caitlin and I talked for an hour before I decided to say goodbye. Before I went back to Hercules' room I bought him some food.
As soon as I entered his room, Hercules' snoring face appeared to me while sitting on his bed.
"Leave me," he said softly. I stopped eating because of what he said.
"I bought your food. You haven't eaten yet," I said to him.
I opened the tupperware that had rice and his dish. I put it in front of him but he just looked at it.
"Try me." his red lips pouted as he looked at me. I was stunned before I breathed a sigh of relief.
Calm down, Talitha. Calm down.

The one with the dangerous look, yet so damn gorgeous and hot: Nash Villa Franca. Joanna executed her plan without hesitation... Will she succeed?
"Where did that go?" I asked myself again. We're not friends but we're pretty close to each other, and I know he rarely goes out or leaves his office. "Maybe it's just there." I answered myself again and then searched. The whole library is spacious because this school is also large. Some students here are sons and daughters of business tycoons and politics so it's not surprising. I've almost gone around all the bookshelves with their backs to each other but I still don't have mika, so does Arries, it's amazing, especially since I feel different. Girls instinct matches. in the back I could not go so I went there when I heard someone talking, as if whispering. I know Mika and Arries, because I haven't seen anyone else yet and go home, especially since Mika is the only librarian here and I also saw Arries enter here. I was about to turn around to prove that they were when I heard a growl. "Ahh Arries maybe someone will see us here." The woman growled at Arries. My chest throbbed with excitement, "No! This cant be!" My brain objected. Arries was inside and if I'm not mistaken Mika was the woman who moaned earlier. my tears are already dripping, I can't accept, but my mind is trying to focus that it's not them, that other Aries and Mika are inside, but who did I fool? There are no other names for those two here who are our co-teachers, if there is a student it is very impossible. "Ohh shit! I really love you Mika." The man growled. There I stopped sobbing when Aries proved that my boyfriend was doing nonsense right inside the library, he was still the principal but he acted like a pig. I still accept that he hangs out outside but what he does right here inside the school is too much. To hurt myself even more and prove to myself that my boyfriend and my co-staff are doing the miracle, I peeked, I saw that Mika's uniform was almost open as well as Arries who was in a hurry to get down and remove the belt and open the zipper of the dress. I tried not to make any noise, during the time that Arries and I were together I didn't even notice anything strange about him, he was as tender as the first time we were so it was hard to accept for me. We've been together for four years but I think that's not enough when it comes to talking about the flesh. the entire staff as well as the students knew the relationship between the two of us, others were expecting the wedding we were going to but it wasn't. that's why he hasn't processed yet, he already has someone else, I didn't pay attention to that before because maybe he just had a plan but this is the answer. anger took the place of the love I felt here, so I hurriedly took my cell phone to take a picture of them just in case I could use him. To the two of them. It's bad if it's bad but I'm just hurt too. it's a good thing they were so greedy for each other that they didn't even notice my presence, but that's good too. Slowly I took the steps towards the exit door and when I thought I was far away from them I slowly ran out. I don't care if it creates a sound, even if they chase me they won't see me anymore. They are also far from the door so I have a strong feeling that they will not be able to chase me. the gate show is still shedding my tears, it's a good thing the sandal I used is only 2 inches high so it's not hard for me to run. Fortunately, there were no students, staffs, only the guard was there but I didn't pay attention when I heard him greet me. I just wanted to leave, get stuck in that place.

"Then who owns you?" he asked, I could feel and smell his hot and fragrant breath. "I-i-it is yo-you sir," my lips parted as he suddenly came closer to me, bringing our bodies closer together, it's too late for me to close my mouth when I feel his lips on mine. when our lips parted, we both gasped, "then stop making me jealous, because you don't want to know what this friend can do to you."
"When do you plan to sign?" He asked while seriously looking at the divorce papers, I stared at it before sitting in front of him. "Is Azi really gone? Are you really just going to throw everything away?" I bit my lower lip to stop myself from sobbing. Tears came to my eyes one after the other, but I immediately wiped them away. "I don't love you anymore, let's not torture ourselves Jade, let's finish thi—" "I'm Preg—" I cut him off but I was immediately stunned when the door opened.
