"Remember when I told you that your daddy was in heaven looking after you," Mikaella started. It was now or never, she needed to do this. The idea of having a dad made Seth happy that his eyes lit up every time he'd talk about him.

Mikaella on the other hand hadn't seen this day coming. The day in which she would have to share Seth with someone else who never bothered to look for her. She remembered vividly how Roman declared her a slut! She knew that Roman wasn't going to be the best father figure to her son.

Yet here was Seth longing for a father of his own. The thought of running away with Seth crossed her mind but how long was she gonna run? Tomorrow she would come to an agreement with Mr Cervantes about Seth, sharing custody was what she had in mind but would Mr Cervantes agree to it?

"Yes mommy. Did he come back from heaven to take care of us?" He asked excitedly as Mikaella sluggishly put on a smile.

"Yes baby"

She entered the little café walking over to the table occupied with two men, Roman Cervantes and his lawyer.

Roman stood up offering her seat , she however was surprised by his kind gesture.

"Now that you are here, let's get this over with," Roman said pushing a brown file towards her.

Mikaella opened the file, she read through everything. Her eyes fixated on the documents that lay in front of her.

" This is bullshit! Marriage?!" She exclaimed slamming the file on the table.

"Mrs Sandoval..." The lawyer butt in but Roman was quick to intervene.

"There's no way out. You brought this on yourself when you decided to keep my son away from me for seven fucking years. Now sign those damn papers like the good little slut you are," He looked at her with ire as he slid the file forcefully towards her.

Mikaella was taken aback and so was the lawyer who loosened his collar a bit because of the sudden tension.

"Mrs Sandoval, you have to sign those papers or else my client will have to take this to court. If we take this to court, my client will have the upper hand and you'll lose custody over your son. Remember my client may prove that you took away his son and evoked all rights over him...my client may also..."

The lawyer's words lingered in her mind 'lose custody' so much that she stopped listening to whatever he spoke. Without thinking, she signed the papers and handed them to the old lawyer who smiled and said," You've made a very wise decision, Ms Sandoval"

She wiped the beads of sweat that formed on her forehead, her fingers fidgeting as her nails dug in the napkin that had neatly been folded on the table. The lawyer excused himself as he had a hearing to attend to that same afternoon.

Roman sat on the chair with ease his eyes on Mikaella, he smirked. He had gotten his way. Mikaella's eyes shuddered with disgust at the man seated in front of her, the man she had temporarily been married to on paper!

"You are one lucky woman, Mikaella. I mean you have the Roman Cervantes to yourself!," He taunted her.

Mikaella stayed still, she didn't utter a single word. In her mind, Seth's face continuously appeared. Everything she did was for Seth, for Seth only.

"Isn't this what you wanted? To be rich? To have money? Well you have all my money to yourself," he chuckled before standing up and grabbing Mikaella by her arm and leaving the café.

Immediately they left the café, flashes of light met her face. Reporters flickered their lights towards her asking her too many questions..

Roman put his arm on her waist as he protected her and answered some of their questions. He acknowledged that Mikaella was his wife and that they were married for seven years now. Mikaella was too confused by what was going on, that she had no time to deny his allegations.

Roman led her to his car, as the drive drove that car away speedily.

" Where are we going?!" Mikaella cried.

"To our home of course," Roman smirked wickedly taking Mikaella's hand to his lips but Mikaella was quick to pull her hand from his grasp. This made Roman happy, torturing her made him happy and there was still more to come.....

Mikaella created some space between her and Roman. She was disgusted by him, she knew that Roman had some sort of mental issues, she was now having second thoughts on signing those papers.

She silently reached for her phone in the purse trying to text Phil and Raque informing them of everything. Her hands searched for her phone but she couldn't find it. Roman suddenly lifted it in mid air, his hand gripping her phone tightly.

"Looking for this? Do you think I'm that stupid to let you have your phone"

"You have no right to take my phone! Give it back!" Mikaella hissed indignantly lifting her eyes and glaring into his. She tried to snatch her phone back, but Roman was quick to pull his pants and dump her phone inside his boxers on the anterior part.

"Take it," he designed a smile just to annoy her as the driver lay witness to everything that went on in the car.

Mikaella opened her mouth in shock at the man's audacity then she rolled her eyes. That phone meant so much to her, it was Phil's birthday present to her and now it was....
