After the meeting, I wasn't expecting to see him. I saw that he was surprised to see me but I had no intention of greeting him. My blood only boiled when I saw him.

"Honey! You're here." Stacy wrapped her hand around his arm. He didn't move nor say a word.

"I let out a heavy sigh and just bowed, and I was about to walk out when he talked. His face was as cold as ice before. I knew he wasn't expecting that I would be here. Who would? They thought I was dead! But they were wrong. "You're alive" he uttered, which made me laugh sarcastically in my mind. I looked at him and just smiled a bit.

"I'm sorry, Mr. And Mrs. White, but I still have an urgent meeting today. Now if you'd excuse me-" Stacy cut me off.

"Of course, you can go," she said in a serious voice. She looked to Travis, who was now thinking about unnecessary things.

I hurried to my car and rested my back on the seat. Then I drove out of their house.

Does that mean Stacy only knew that I was some kind of golddigger? She's acting like I wasn't a threat at all. Does that mean he doesn't know that Travis had an ex-wife? I laughed sarcastically.

Nothing changes about him, he's still Travis who is ruthless and merciless!

When I got home I saw Diego cooking. I went In Front of him to confront him.

"Why didn't you tell me?!" My voice raised and he wasn't expecting that. But then, as she saw my expression, he already knew what I meant.

"Jaz, look. I'm sorry, okay? I didn't know that it was your ex-husband's wedding," he started to explain. How could he not know?!

"What?! You knew I was avoiding him but why?" I place the bag on the table. He knew I was mad.

"Stacy was the one who approached me, and she never mentioned the wedding. Look, I don't know that Stacy was Travis' bride," he said, trying to calm me down.

I was just controlling myself when I was in that house! Especially when I saw his face!

"I'm sorry, I'm just shocked because of what happened earlier. I didn't expect it. From all of the people, why them?" My blood boils every time I recall the way he looks at me.

"I'm sorry I can't cancel the contract. I already signed it. If I had known about it earlier, I would never have signed that contract," he explained to me.

I'm not blaming Diego, it's just that I wasn't ready about what happened.

"No, I'm sorry. Sorry, I was just surprised. "I said and smiled at him.

"It's okay, but if you have one I could take good care of it" he said but I just shook my head. I know he's too busy these coming days.

"No, I could take good care of it. Besides, I already forgot everything. It's only work," I said while he gave me a meaningful look. "Mom?" I turned around to see David yawning.

"Did you sleep?" I asked him and he nodded. I looked at Diego and he went back from cooking.

"What took you so long? I've been waiting for you here," he said, looking at Diego cooking his favourite food.

"I just have a little bit of conflict about our client but everything is okay now," I answered him and carried him to sit on my lap.

"Daddy Uncle said that we will go to the mall later", he said, and I don't have any idea what he is talking about.

"Did he?" I asked and he nodded. I looked at him and he just smiled at me.

"Let's just let David go to the mall. He told me that he wants to go back there," he said while cutting onions.

"You're Daddy Uncle is busy, David, ", I said while placing food on his plate.

I saw him pouting and I pinched his chicks. In the end, they made me agree.

After we were done, we went directly to the mall. David kept on running.

"David, be careful!" I told him while he was running so fast. I kept one looking at him, but then when looked at the other side, and when I went to look at him, he was already gone.

Diego is busy looking at something. I ran where I last saw him but he's not in there.

"David?" I went to look at the cloth store, but he was not there. I looked at the other side and even checked him into the other store, but he was not in there.

I began to feel anxious. I even got scared when someone tapped me on my shoulder.

"I've been looking at you. Where did you go?" Diego asked me then my tears started to fall.

"I lost my son, Diego; please help me find him. "His expression changed when he heard what I said. We started to search for him somewhere around this mall but we could find him.

"Hey, stop crying. We can find him. Search him over there, and I will report it to the mall management. " He said and left me. I gathered all my strength to look for him, but he was not there.

I decided to look at him on the first floor because he was not there. I sat on the bench and covered my face.

"Where did you go, David? You're making me scared" I uttered while looking around.

After many minutes of searching we still didn't see him.

I was about to lose hope when I saw someone familiar running towards us, holding an ice cream.

"Mommy!" He shouted and I ran towards him and hugged him.

"Where did you go, David?! I told you to not go far away! "I shouted at him and he was shocked because of what I did.

"Jasmine," Diego called me and got David in my hands.

I heard my son start to cry.

"It's okay, stop crying now" he hushed him.
