“Girl! You are being paranoid!” Flint whispered to Marissa because the kids were sleeping in the nearby room, “Why do you think that man was observing Ariel?”
“Because he found her cute!” Before Marissa could speak, Sophia interrupted them while her eyes were still on the laptop screen.
Flint snapped his fingers and nodded, “Exactly. Rafael is in Sangua. You are here in Kanderton managing your catering business. Why Rafael will even bother to set foot here when his billion–dollar industry is doing just fine back home? There is nothing for him in Kanderton city.”
Marissa was rubbing her hands in anxiety. Her heart was sinking
with each passing minute.
“What if someday Rafael comes at my door and demands to meet my kids then what will I do, Flint?”
The sound of the laptop shutting made her sit straight in her seat. Sophia’s eyes were blazing with rage, “If that moron will be standing there then he won’t be meeting that timid Marissa but a successful entrepreneur. Has your brain slipped into your knees, Marissa?” Sophia had a disgusted face. She was not liking the weak side of her friend.
“What if he tries to snatch them?” she asked quietly, and they knew
what she was talking about.
“Then just show him your middle finger, girl!” Sophia spat and Marissa closed her eyes. That man in the supermarket seemed

fishy. The way he looked at Ariel and then tried to make conversation at the cash counter, Marissa didn’t know what to do.
She wanted to keep her kids safe and was no longer interested in Rafael. Kids‘ lives could easily be in danger if Nina or Valerie would come to know about their existence.
“Marissa! My dear…” Flint held her hand, “Have you forgotten a girl who came here three years back with nothing in hand and now see where you are today!” he had a proud grin on his face.
Marissa could only nod her head.
“I know, Flint. Thanks to you both but it’s Nina and Valerie I’m
scared of.”
“You are a mom, Marissa!” Sophia also took a nearby seat, “and no one can bat an eye in your kids‘ way. I know how you can be when it’s about your kids. If the time will come, we’ll approach Rafael and ask him to control the women of his family otherwise we can create a scandal against him, and his business shares will go down.
the drain.”
Marissa knew Sophia just wanted to make her feel better. She would never do any such thing to anyone but when it was about her babies Aunt Sophia couldn’t be expected to spare anyone.
“I think you should go and get some sleep. You have an early order to dispatch.” Flint patted her shoulder and stood up.
When Marissa left, he had concern on his face.
“Do you think that man might be dangerous?” Sophia asked him and he just raised his shoulders.

“You told me Rafael and Marissa shared a soul–worthy relationship. If that’s the case, then most likely Rafael might have guessed the truth by now.”
“He didn’t trust my friend, grandpa” Sophia sank back on the backrest of the couch.
“I know. But look at the situation from his point of view. A blind man who had no one but his wife Valerie beside him. One day he woke up all healthy and a woman was telling him that she was his wife. He just got done with the surgery and this is how he is welcomed to the world where he was unable to decide between true colors and fake patches.”
Flint did have a point, “And don’t forget, Sophia. Marissa learned a lot of business tactics from Rafael. Whatever she used to discuss with him about business, she applied it. And see the boom of her catering business.”
Sophia did remember how Rafael threatened her to bring the police the next day. She shuddered with the thought.
He was indeed extremely handsome and the woman who would spend some time in his company will surely set the bar higher for her future boyfriends.
Maybe that was the reason Marissa could never get involved in any man. Gerald who helped Marissa a lot in bringing orders from big companies was not ready to give up on her, but she always
maintained a safe distance from him.
The thought that Rafael could at least hear, her side of the story couldn’t bring any sympathy in Sophia’s heart for him.

“Aunt Fia! Sophia almost jumped up when heard a feeble voice close by.
“Abi!” she quickly picked up the child and made her sit on the lap, “are you alright?” she asked her because just last month they had to rush to the hospital because of her chest pain, “Are you feeling pain, love.”
“No!” she hid her face in Sophia’s chest and Sophia clutched the little munchkin to her. The triplets were very dear to her, but Abigail had her heart. Maybe due to her weak health, she had gotten closer to her.
Thankfully her other siblings understood Abi’s condition and always cooperated with their mom. Marissa was lucky to get such understanding and compassionate kids.
