Chapter 71 - Revenge 70: She's Dying

"Hahaha! Fonso! I didn't know you have it in you! Hahaha! You've become a woMAN." Zack said while laughing with all the might he got. Zack look at Mary and added, "See what I just said? Wo-MAN, get it? Get it? Wo-MAN."

"Shut it, Zack." Mary coldly said to him.

"Your joke is just too funny for me that I forgot to laugh," Leonardo said with sarcasm in his tone.

"You've lost your touch. Your jokes are no longer funny, Zack." Mike said with mockery in his tone. Mike sure is having fun just to ruin Zack mood and it did work Zack's mood has drained into frustration because of the people who don't get his joke. Hearing those unwanted comments Zack just 'hmph' at them and sat on his seat with arms cross. 'Damned people.'

Zack and others arrived at Alfonso's studio when Mary called them to come. The first thing they've seen when they reached the studio is that they were surprised at Alfonso's sorry state. The three of them were amused to see him like that because it rarely happens. What amused them more is what they have heard from Mary's mouth, at first they would not believe that Alfonso got himself a child but looking at Alfonso's state right now they think that Mary is not messing around.

Seeing their amused face Alfonso felt betrayed. Instead of giving him some pieces of advice on how to deal with his problem because know how to deal with it. They instead kept looking at him with proud face plastered in their faces. "Stop looking at me like that you stupid idiots!" Alfonso angrily looked at them.

"Calling us an idiot? I'm sorry but I don't think you have the rights to say that to us."

"Leo's right. You don't have the right to say that to us. You're the one who got someone pregnant and speaking of how did that happen?" Hearing what Mike said Leonardo and Zack ears perks up wanting to hear what really happen.

They know how it really works but what they want to know is that how did Alfonso get himself entangled with a woman? They know what kind of a person is Alfonso is and putting him in a bed with a woman is impossible but looking at the circ.u.mstances right now; is putting him in bed with a woman is possible now?

"..." Alfson couldn't say a word, he knew what they exactly want to know but it's hard for him to tell the story.

Its been almost a year since then but he can still vividly remember how drunk he was and he was with his former assistant, she was also drunk at that time. It was a night that he possibly cannot believe that he can actually show a side that he doesn't know he has it inside of him.

Morning comes on that time, he and his former assistant woke up in surprise seeing their n.a.k.e.d bodies. Ever since then they have never spoken of that accident and then after a few days later, his former assistant came right in front of him handing him a resignation paper in her hands. Alfonso wants to ask why she's resigning as his assistant but when he saw her eyes as if it's saying that even if he asks her she will not tell and will resign either way. So, in the end, Alfonso accepts her resignation.

Now, thinking of her sudden resignation a realization came into his mind, 'Is it because she found out she got pregnant? If so why didn't she told me?'

Seeing that Alfonso is not planning to tell them anything, Mary spoke, "Stop it, you guys." Dissatisfaction was clear in their eyes. The three of them truly wants to know the whole story of how Alfonso got himself entangled with a woman. Mary turned her head towards Alfonso and said in a serious tone, "How sure are you that that child is yours?"

Mary is very doubtful in this situation because no would ever know that this might be some kind of a scam and the victim here is Alfonso.

Alfonso sighed, he knows what Mary is thinking right now and he can't blame her for thinking like that after it all this is all out of the blue. "I already did a test. I just got it this morning and... it was... the child is mine."

"Oh..." Mary couldn't say anything else knowing that Alfonso already did a test and the result is quite the opposite she was thinking. "...Congrats?"

What Alfonso really wanted from Mary and the other is their advice on how to deal with this problem of his. But it looks like they are not planning on giving him any advice that he needed right now.

"Uh... May I ask a question?" A beautiful angelic voice was suddenly heard. It was Anna who was quite the whole time; there was something that's been bothering with mind these whole time.

"Go ahead, sweetheart," Mary said in a gentle voice.

"Did the mother of the child wants you to take responsibility, uncle Fonso?" She asked. She wanted to ask this because after all this time why did the mother wait until the baby was born? Is it because the mother is afraid that her uncle Alfonso might force her to abort the child that she can't get anything if the child is gone? If so, Anna knows very that even though it is unexpected her uncle Alfonso wouldn't be that cruel but he will definitely do something about the child.

"Its quite the opposite, little NaNa." Everybody turn their heads towards Alfonso when he said that. The mother doesn't want him to take responsibility but how did he know that he had a child? Seeing their questioning faces Alfonso said, "She called that the night we spent blossomed and that she gave birth to the child and she also told me that she doesn't want to take responsibility for it, she wants the child for herself but it didn't go as she planned it."

"What do you mean by that?" Zack asked.

"She's dying. After giving birth, life has been draining out of her and she wants me to take the child after she... you know and take care of the child lovingly."
