Valentina Delgado, 30 years old, a single mother, a billionaire CEO to country's one of the largest companies. She's been called cold and ruthless by the world but from inside she's a worrisome mother who has to do anything for her 10 year old daugh...
After a full day of shopping, eating and having fun, we are now at Lexi's Condo and she is persuading me to go to have a drink or two. "Please..... it's been a long time, i haven't been out to drink." "We can just go to my house, order takeouts and have a sleepover ." "Pretty please.... I want drink, something fancy" She pouted and made a puppy face which i can't ignore. "Ok fine... But what about the girls?" "Javier will be here with them. Infact they are already tired, in an hour they will be asleep." "Ok ok, fine." "Great....now let's get dressed with the new clothes we bought." She was exited was an understatement.
Lexi and Javier are now married for around 11 years. As told by Lexi, they met in college and instantly clicked. They never had children after Graciela because of their biological reasons. They also live in Manhattan, on Hudson Street. Five years back, they lived in Bronx and I was their neighbour. That was the place Me and Ben along with Alba lived.
After rejecting clothes here and there and getting scolded by Lexi, we were ready.

"OMG! Hot babe!" Lexi shouted. "You're also looking pretty sexy." "Ok let's not waste more time. ¡Vamos!" "Oh... speaking spanish." "You know perks of having Hispanic husband and bestfriend." I laughed. "Now let's go!"
As we were going out the front door we heard Javier shout. "Be safe! Ladies!" "Yeah yeah we know." Lexi shouted back. They both are hilarious.
We called a taxi and went towards The Blond- a peaceful nightclub for elites. This place was a mixture of black with gold, giving the luxury vibe.
As we entered the club, it was bustling with rich and elites. We sat on the lounges and order some food and drinks. I got a Tanqueray Gin.
"So.... What's up with your life, your boutique?" I asked Lexi. She laughed and replied, "It's going great. Boutique is also going great. There are a now a few celebrity customers." "That's great." "Yeah....So, i want to tell you few more things." "Ok... what's the matter." "There a bad news as well a good news. Choose it." "Ok... You are scaring me. Tell me the good news first." "Ok so, the adoption agency has approved me and Javier." "Oh my god! Really?" "Yeah!!!" She seen so exited for it. And I'm happy for her. Sometimes, I feel jealous, like i always wanted a lot of kids, but nevermind, not everyone gets everything they desire. Seriously, I'm happy for her.
"And the boy we choose is soo cute. He's 3 years old." "Aww! That's great. Congratulations!" I stood up and hugged her. "Thankyou!" "What about the bad news?" "Ok it's a very bad news." "You are scaring me Lexi." "So, Ben...." After listening his name all the blood drained from my face. "What about him? Tell me Lexi." I panicked. "He works in the same company as Javier." "Oh...." It's bad....! "Yeah.... Javier never knew about him. But, few days back Javier told me he saw someone familiar but he didn't knew his name. Yesterday....he got his name and his name was Benjamin Davis." "Are you sure it was him? Maybe it's just a coincidence with the full name?" "Yeah, I'm sure. Yesterday, Javier showed me his picture on the company's website. And it was definitely him." "Oh my god! Our offices are on the same street. Oh god! I can't believe it." I Panicked. "Yeah..." "Do you know when did he join?" "Yeah, on the website it showed he joined two years back." "I don't even wanna see him again. What will happen if we bumped into each other?" "Nothing will happen. Be positive." "Hope so." "Listen, you need to move on. Just tell me have you ever visited your old appartment in these five to six years? Tell me." "No....." "Then you should go and erase all your bad memories from there. It's your apartment. You need to make it look like a home it was earlier. In the future it will be useful."
That apartment is Bronx is mine. Me and Ben bought it from the inheritance money, i was given after my parents death. It was our marital home.
"Yeah...it's mine." "So, go and clean that place. Move on." "Yeah...i think i should." "Now tell me why Elena was crying yesterday?" "Some girl bullied her saying her papa left because he hated her." "That's bullshit!" "Yeah i know. Alba said she wants a father." "Then give her. Date someone who will accept you and Elena wholeheartedly. You are already thirty, you need someone and Elena needs a father. Just think about it." "I will try. I just don't know. What will happen if i let someone in and in few years he will also leaves us. I can't bear that heartbreak again." "Not everyone is coward like Ben. Maybe in this whole world there is someone for you."
