Gwen's face turned completely red with disbelief.
Gwen: You cannot be serious about this, Diego!
Gwen: Our families signed a major business contract last week!
Gwen: If you cancel this wedding, your company will lose millions!
Diego did not look at Gwen's furious expression.
He bent down and lifted Paulina up into his arms.
The little girl placed her small arms around his neck.
Diego felt a warmth in his chest he had never known.
Diego: Money means nothing if my own child is hidden.
Victoria: Diego, put that child down right this instant!
Victoria: Think about your father's business legacy in this city!
Diego: My father would never abandon his own blood, mother.
Victoria took a step back with her mouth wide open.
Diego looked directly into Gwen's cold eyes.
Diego: Take off the engagement ring, Gwen.
Gwen: What did you just say to me?
Diego: The wedding is canceled as of this moment.
Gwen threw her leather purse onto the marble floor.
Gwen: You are throwing away a empire for a maid!
Diego: I am protecting my daughter from cold people like you.
Gwen pulled the diamond engagement ring off her finger aggressively.
She tossed the valuable diamond ring onto the marble steps.
The heavy ring bounced and landed near Victoria's high heels.
Gwen: My family lawyer will destroy your company by morning!
Gwen turned around on her high heels and stormed out.
The heavy front oak door slammed shut behind her loudly.
The loud echo filled the large empty entrance hallway.
Victoria stepped forward with a panicked look on her face.
Victoria: Do you have any idea what you just did?
Victoria: Gwen's father owns half of our mortgage loans!
Diego: I do not care about the mortgage loans anymore.
Diego turned his attention back to Sarah standing quietly.
Sarah was still wiping tear stains from her pale cheeks.
Diego: Sarah, you will never scrub another floor here.
Diego: You and Paulina are moving into the guest suite.
Sarah: Diego, I do not want to cause you trouble.
Diego: The only trouble here was my silence for five years.
Victoria grabbed her phone from her silk jacket pocket.
Victoria: I am calling our estate lawyer right now!
Diego smiled calmly as he held his daughter close.
Diego: Go ahead and call the lawyers, mother.
Diego: Because tomorrow morning, I am changing my will.
