Rob POV

I didn't know what the hell I was thinking of dragging Adriana to court, knowing my past with her will only come back to bite me in the ass. I was pissed about Martinez giving a statement but Martinez does live by what is right. He did tell me to talk to Adriana and I didn't listen. Adriana let me spend 3 days per week with Soraya. She's being reasonable about it. I get Soraya on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

I am not Emma's favorite person right now. She's pissed at me for not getting her the Lamborghini, but I told her there's no way I am buying a Lamborghini for a sixteen year old. I got her a 2021 BMW M4 Coupe which was around seventy-two grand. That way more than most people's cars cost. She was out with her friends. I am waiting for her so we can go to dinner. Martinez came into my office.

"Boss, I am afraid that I have some rather bad news." Martinez told me.

"What is it Martinez?" I asked him.

"Boss, it's Emma. She was in an accident and she's in pretty bad shape in the hospital." He told me. I was shocked but I told Martinez to take me to her.

Martinez told me that what they had gathered was that a drunk driver collided with Emma's car, but the driver had fled the scene. I thought to myself that when I find the person that did this to Emma, I am going to kill them.

When I got to the hospital, my parents and Lucas were there. The nurse told us Emma needed blood. I told the doctor I was her father and would get tested right away and so as everyone else volunteered also.

My dad came back from a match and took him to the room for the blood transfusion but the doctor asked me to talk privately. I followed him to an empty room where he handed me a paper.

"Emma was curious to do the test also. She didn't want you to subject her for a test later on. I opened it. Rob, I am sorry to say this, you're not her father. You do share some DNA. She might be your sister rather than daughter." The doctor told me. I was completely shocked. I couldn't believe what I just heard. She wasn't my daughter.

I wasted all these fucking years believing Kate. I messed up my relationship with Adriana for what. She had agreed to marry me and I threw it away for Kate lies. I missed my real daughter's first step because of this.

Adriana POV

Liam and I hardly spend much time together these days. I am so busy with work and Soraya, that we hardly got any time together. I was shooting my latest song video when Liam walked in and he seemed pissed as hell.

"What the hall, Adriana?" He asked me.

"Liam, I am not a mind reader. You have to tell me what you mean." I responded to him.

"This letter states that you can't marry me legally since you're already married." He told me and handed me the letter.

"What the hell? I filled the papers. How can this be?" I asked him.

"Let me tell you. You filed for divorce but you didn't sign the papers. You held a gun to Rob's head for him to sign but you never did. Was that a joke?" He asked me as he showed me the papers.

"Well, I can fix that problem now. I will sign the papers right away." I told him as I tried to take the papers away.

"Don't! Adriana! Stop fooling yourself, you love the fucking bastard. Here's the proof. Let's just end it here. We had a blast for a couple of months and now it's time to call it quits." He told me.

"Please, Liam! Don't do this." I begged him.

"Adriana, you love him and always will. There is just no space in your heart for me. Let's not make this harder than what it is." He told me and left. I chased after him but he was out of the building before I could even meet up with him.

I called it quits for the day and went home. Rob told me he couldn't take Soraya for tonight but I told him he should have given me more notice. I also told him that it's his problem. I love Soraya more than life but tonight I wanted to be alone. I opened a bottle of wine and started drinking it.

Did I really still love that bastard? At this point I wasn't even sure. I looked at the divorce papers with the pen in my hand. Why is it this fucking hard to sign. I know he's dating someone else. But I still can't bring my else to sign those fucking papers. I threw the glass to the wall, screaming I hate him but started to cry because I love him.

Background music plays, "Say Love

Song by JoJo"

"This is us at our best, and at our worst

And when we speak, does it feel unrehearsed?

Cause where I wanna be is far apart

From where we are, from where we are

And I thought I found the place where we could start

Talk from the heart, talk from the heart"

I just walking around the penthouse, with the wine bottle, drinking, reminiscing on the memories of Rob.

The music continues.

"But you just say I'm perfect

Say I'm pretty

Say I'm worth it

But if you really care for me"

The wine finished and I went up to my bar and picked up a bottle of whiskey, I didn't bother of taking a glass. I drink from the bottle. Remember that red dress, every touch of his. Tears start forming from my eyes.

Background music continues.

"Say love

I want you to say love

I want you to say love

When I say "Love you"

You just say "Me too"

But I want you to say love"

Why couldn't he say he love me? Was that so hard. All he had to do was say I love you. Why Rob? Why couldn't you say I love you? I kept yelling at the wall that separate us.

Background music continues.

"It feels like we can't get out of first

When we do it's like we're stuck in reverse, oh

Cause where I wanna be is far apart

From where we are, from where we are

And I thought I found the place where we could start

Talk from the heart, talk from the heart"

I continue drinking, asking God why me? Why can't I have the love of my life? What did I do to deserve this.
