The rising sun cast a rosy hue across the morning sky, the lights of dawn seeped into Mateo's room gentle waking him up.

The sun pours through my window.
Another day had dawned, bringing with it new hopes and aspirations.
Time to leave the bed.

While Mateo walks into the bathroom to freshen up there is a babel of voices down stairs.

Ruth!
When i said that i love my coffee with no sugar, no cream and sweetener i meant it. Now why would she serve me this?
~Teresa

I tried explaining this to lady Esmerald but she refused to listen to me, my lady.
~Ruth

I do not know how long i can tolerate her mulish attitude.
She continues to defy every single rule i set in this house and my son blames it on pregnancy hormones.
~Teresa

I beg you to simmer down my lady,
i will talk to her. Please!
~Ruth

Oh! Please!
Like she ever listern to anyone?
She is intractable just like her father, still wondering why Mateo decided to....
~Teresa

Why Mateo decided to...what?
Peaceful morning to you mom, am sure you had a great night.
~Mateo

You are awake already, son.
~Teresa

Obviously,
i mean who wouldn't with all these commotion.
Take the coffee away and get her exactly what she likes, Ruth.
~Mateo

Will do just so sir.
~Ruth

Mom i noticed you really do not speak much good about my wife.
She is your daughter inlaw and she is also carrying your grand child.
~Mateo

I care alot about my grand son
~Teresa

And my wife?
She is a good woman, mom.
~Mateo

I have got eyes son, hence am in a good position to make that conclusion myself.
~Teresa

Please mom.
I did not mean it in that manner,
all am saying is Esmerald is a good woman and you need to accept her.
~Teresa

I never said otherwise.
Look! Son, am only concerned about you and the future of ROD company.
There are so many good women out there but noble men like you do not go for them, they go for the heiress.
~Teresa
