Everyone is silent in the meeting hall of the Alonzos company, as all the employees and reporters await to hear who is the new CEO, "The new CEO of Alonzo beauty company, will be...Jackson Hanlin!" Says the assistant, as Jackson walks to the microphone, everyone claps and takes his pictures , Monica is left shocked and confused, "So what ever truly happen to the original heir, and why did she give up the position, isn't she the Alonzo's only child?" A reporter asks Jackson, but before he can respond, Stephanie and Levi step inside the hall walking to the stage and taking the mic.

"Here I am, I have decided to let go of this company since I never truly wanted that future for me, just because I'm their first and only child, I couldn't admit it to myself, but in order to let go of that ,me and my father decide to give the company to a person who truly loves running it with passion who is also one of our best employees, not just for the money. And also,since I'm a mother and future wife of the Graciela family, me and Levi will make sure there are no unnecessary fights between the two rival companies again , as for me, I'll be following my other dreams" says Stephanie. Monica filled with rage and disappointment, flees the hall.

"Your a mom? How does it feel at that time of your life,is the baby part of the reason you made that decision? can we see the baby, is it a boy or girl? How did you end up getting with the Graciela's son so easily?" Says one of the reporters. Stephanie runs to hug Levi as Ms Sharlet hands them their baby ,"Smile at the camera" she says as the people take their pictures as well.As the rain started pouring out side, Monica looks at the clouds and says "You'll pay for that Stephanie, hmm. Natalia Graciela, huh?".

Finally things seem peaceful in Stephanie and Levi's lives for now as they raise Natalia, soon getting their own house ,with fluffy cat pets and Stephanie becoming a famous fashion designer, while Levi leads the Graciela company. Soon 13 years has passed, Ms Sharlet laying on the chair while she tells the story of how Stephanie and Levi made it this far, to Natalia. "That's a nice ending to you, what if Monica comes back for revenge or the weird strangers who were after me before I was even born come back and mess with my life!?" Natalia says as she eats chips while watching her favourite show.

"ow yeah, well maybe they got over it, it's been over 10 years after all, but anyways, I heard Diana adopted a new kid, Mariana? I think, she'll be a new student in your language classes today, so try to help her catch up." Says Ms Sharlet as she gets up from her chair and goes to the kitchen,opens the fridge, takes out a H-max energy drink which is known for having a high amount of acid "Great, uh... grandma, isn't that drink bad for you?" Natalia asks confused on her actions .

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"Just focus on your new friend, okay?" Says Ms Sharlet as she opens the front door. "Fine, I'll go meet her, hope we're in the same class so it won't be difficult to find her." Natalia says taking her book box, walking towards her mother's car. "Let me guess, she's drinking unhealthy stuff again, is that why she kicked you out?" Stephanie asks Natalia, turning to look at her behind from the front seat , "Yeah, she kicked you out too?" Says Natalia as she sighs at the fact that it's not even Ms Sharlet's house for her to be doing that, but they both laugh it off and start driving to Natalia's language school.

Natalia arrives at the class and sits down, taking out her books and pens as she sees a girl with pink hair walking passed her, that the other students keep starring at. "Hey new girl, how come your parents allowed you to bleach your hair this young?" Says one of the boy students, with a mocking tone, leaning back on the chair to face her. She doesn't answer the question instead looks at Natalia and waves at her with a smile.

"Who is she? Is that... Mariana?" Says Natalia as she looks at her desk and turns to look back at her. The class soon start and everyone goes to sit on their desks, Mariana still starring at her the whole class. Break time comes and Natalia goes to sit at her favourite spot of the school, the garden side under the tree. "Huh,so that really was Mariana" she says, taking out her lunch as Mariana walks towards her and says "Uh, hi, your Natalia Graciela, right? My mother told me to hang out with you more often".

Natalia is speechless on how clingy Mariana is to her even though they just met, "Huh, you've got to give me some privacy Mari, you know that?"

Mariana is surprised by her words but understands and starts to walk away from her, Natalia feels a bit bad for making her sad, but she also loves having time all to herself as well like her mother, so she continues eating her lunch.

After break time, the students head to the gyms class for some exercising and sport time.They start with having warm up and begin the first game of target practice with safe Lazer guns.But Mariana feels a bit nervous since she doesn't know how to even use a Lazer gun, when her turn to target the boards comes, she ends up pointing the Lazer guns in the wrong direction, ending up shooting one of the windows.

Everyone is pissed at this point, she feels terrible and runs out of the gym class in tears, Natalia looks at her with a worried expression and starts to run after her. At the school grounds, Natalia finally catches up to Mariana and grabs her hand, "Wait, wait, it's okay, it's okay, it was just an accident, it wasn't your fault you haven't used a Lazer gun before.Look, I'm sorry for turning you down to hang out with me during lunch time, I'm not used to having someone with me all the time, how about you come over to my place for today, I'll even teach you how to use a Lazer gun, okay Mariana?" says Natalia.

Mariana nods and wipes her tears in agreement.
