Chapter: Chapter 5 : We meet again“Mrs. Thersa… you’re carrying a baby girl.” “God has blessed you with another daughter. After so many miscarriages, this is truly a miracle.” The doctor's voice was gentle, her eyes warm as she smiled at herThe words echoed in Thersa’s ears, but instead of joy, a deep, sinking feeling settled in her chest.“A… a girl?” Her voice was barely above a whisper as her eyes widened in shock. Her hands trembled as she pressed against her belly.The doctor continued smiling. “Yes, congratulations once again….”But Thersa wasn’t listening anymore. Her vision blurred with unshed tears as she slowly slumped onto the chair, her breath uneven.A girl. Another girl.Her heart pounded. She knew what this meant. She knew how Mondragon would react.A sob built in her throat, but she swallowed it down as she forced herself to breathe..…….…….Rafael drove steadily through the busy streets...As he neared an intersection, his sharp eyes caught sight of a woman crouched on the sidewalk tightly holding a

Chapter: Chaper 4 : Media at HomeMr. Mondragon had called for the media at his house to at least make himself feel better after the humiliation he had felt.As soon as Mondragon finished his statement, the media erupted with questions."Mr. Mondragon, is it true that Rafael Wood outbid you for the mansion deal? And does that make him richer than you?" one reporter asked.Mr. Mondragon chuckled and shook his head. "Outbid me? Please..." He scoffed as he adjusted his cufflinks."That deal was never a priority for me. I have 24 mansions across the world. I could’ve taken that one if I wanted, but I decided to let someone else have their moment. Consider it an act of generosity."Another reporter raised a hand. "So, you're saying you willingly stepped back?"Mondragon smirked. "Exactly. It was nothing more than a joke play, a momentary amusement..Raf or whatever his name is he has nothing on me."As he spoke, Thersa stood beside him, her hands clasped tightly in front of her. She shifted uncomfortably. The arrogance in h

Chapter: Chapter 3 : Rich Met Gala 2She clutched the rail as she cried her eyes out... The icy wind whipped against her face as sobs wracked her body."Who dares to make a goddess cry?" a voice rang out boldly.Thersa quickly wiped her face and turned sharply as her heart pounded.There he stood leaning casually against the doorway, the wind ruffling his dark hair. His suit was slightly undone which give him a careless charm, and his sharp eyes held a playful glint. Thersa's eyes widened unknowing what to say as she moves backwards but her back met the rail…"Crying alone in the cold? That doesn’t seem fair for someone as beautiful as you." he said as he walk forward to her..."I..." she struggled Its okay…he said as he didn’t press for an answer… As the wind grew stronger, both of their hair started swirling in the air.With a swift motion he strugged off his jacket and placed it gently over her trembling shoulders…The warmed of the fabric mixed with his fabric made her freeze."Much better," he murmured with a low

Chapter: Chapter 2 : At the Rich Met GalaThey all lined up in uniform as Mr. Mandragon stood ahead of them in a white fashionable suit. In his hands, he held a bouquet of red roses. The door swung open, revealing Mrs. Thersa as she walked out. She was adorned in a silver gown that shimmered..As she walked down the stairs her gown shimmered around her which complemented her slender figure...Her hair was sleekly styled with a few stray strands softly framing her exhausted face.....Though she walked with grace there was a faint tremble in her steps....Her hands clutched the fabric of her gown briefly before she steadied herself....she forced a small smile as she moved forward.…"My Shalya…" Mr. Mandragon said and looked back with pride before stepping forward to take his wife’s hands.The maids and guards all lowered their heads in unison."I married you for one reason… one reason, Thersa," he said, pulling her into a heated hug. His arms wrapped around her with force, yet there was a strange passion in his touch. "You're pret

Chapter: Chapter One : Woman are made for the Kitchen"Hahaha! Cheers!" A man in his early thirties raised his glass to toast with his friends. He held a chicken in his hand, his belly a bit chubby from the delightful feast and his face showing the effects of the ample amount of alcohol he had been enjoying."Diego, your wife can cook," he remarked as he took a sip from his glass. "Let me keep her in my house for a week," he jokingly suggested. Laughter filled the room, shared by the other man, who had an oval-shaped head and a rather lean appearance, as well as Mr. Mondragon himself."Don't be silly, Leo," Mr. Mondragon playfully responded and they all joined in the laughter as they enjoyed the camaraderie of the moment."Where is she?" The man with the oval head looked around, searching for Mr. Diego's wife."Where else will she be?" Mr. Diego Mondragon replied with a chuckle and leaned toward him. "The kitchen, of course," Leo added, and they all shared another round of laughter.Leo continued, "Women are supposed to be in the kitch

Born 28th July 1994 to 2023...He bent slightly, still feeling the ache from the shot he'd taken days ago. In his hands, he loosely grasped a bouquet, their petals beginning to wilt like his own memories...As he gazed at the grave, a memory began to surface...As they hit the ground, Marko's arm wrapped tightly around her. He held her close, feeling her warm blood seep into his clothes, mixing with his own. Brindle's eyes, cloudy with pain, locked onto Marko's teary gaze.I... I... am sorry," he whispered. "I am sorry," he said as he gently touched her face.Brindle slowly shook her head. "No... no," she whispered, her voice barely audible. "I am sorry for... for us not living our dream. Please... forgive me," she said weakly.Marko's tears dropped down as he looked at her, his heart breaking."Thank you for being the one who actually cared for me," she said, her voi

Marko stepped forward, but Brindle quickly backed away. “Don’t even try to make any move on me. You know just one call, and you’ll be back in the cell,” Brindle warned, pulling her phone from her pocket. “You need to stop this. You’ve done enough. Hurting more people won’t bring you peace or the dream you’re chasing after,” Marko pleaded. “What makes you think you can stop me, huh?” Brindle shouted, looking up at him with anger in her eyes. “I’m not trying to stop you, Brindle. I’m trying to save you from all this madness you’ve gotten yourself into. This path you’re on… It’s destroying you. Can’t you see that?” Marko said, his voice filled with concern. Brindle slammed her fists on the table, rattling the items on it. “You think I need saving?” she snarled. “You think I need you to tell me what to do? Hell no!” Her voice rose as she shouted. “You ha

"When are you going to give love a try, Miss Rose?"Rose sighed heavily and leaned back on the sofa. "I guess I'm just too beautiful. They all probably think I'm too good for them," she said dramatically, shoving a handful of potato chips into her mouth.Natalie chuckled, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "I see," she said, looking at Rose out of the corner of her eye. "So your beauty is a curse, huh?"Rose nodded, trying to look serious despite the crumbs around her mouth. "Absolutely. It's a burden I must bear," she said, striking a mock-heroic pose.Natalie burst out laughing. "Well, maybe you need to find someone who appreciates your beauty and your love for potato chips!"Rose giggled, almost choking on her chips. "Ye

Chapter: Chapter 56 : Where is HE? It was early morning, around 4:30 a.m. The room was quiet, the soft hum of machines was the only sound you could hear.The door opened gently, and Mr. Green stepped in, closing it behind him with a soft click. His eyes looked tired, heavy, as he walked slowly to the side of Max’s hospital bed.Max was asleep, his breathing steady, unaware of his present.Mr. Green stood there for a long moment as he just watched him.He finally spoke with a low and trembling voice. “You grew up right in front of me… stubborn, reckless, but with a good heart.”He paused and swallowed hard.“I failed you. I should’ve known that day… should’ve protected you better.”His eyes welled but he blinked quickly.“I’ve been asked to step away. I won’t be here when you wake up.”He looked at Max one last time.“Stay strong, kid… Don’t let this world eat you up”''I hope to see you in one piece when I return,'' he said and quickly wiped a falling tear.With a slow breath, he bowed down to give his final respect.

His body is still weak.But his eyes… they were burning with one thing.A taxi slowed down.Max stumbled forward and pulled the door open.“Where to, sir?” the driver asked, glancing at Max through the mirror.“Just drive… I’ll tell you where,” he muttered as he leaned back into the seat, fighting the dizziness.From behind him“MR.

Without wasting a second, the doctor moved straight to Max’s side and grabbed his wrist to check for a pulse.“His pulse is dropping,” the doctor muttered, his brows furrowing deeply as he pulled out a stethoscope and leaned over Max’s chest.“Get the crash cart in here, now!” he barked toward the hallway.Mr. Green stood stiffly beside him, eyes fixed on the monitor as the beeping grew more erratic.“Mr. Anderson, stay with us,” the doctor said firmly as he began chest compression. “We’re not losing him today.”Nurses burst in with equipment, and the room turned chaotic....hands were moving quickly, voices rising with urgency as they battled to keep him alive…The room was in chaos.“Clear!” the doctor shouted.A loud zap followed as the defibrillator pads pressed against Max’s chest, his body jolting on the bed.

Please call back later,” the phone said as the nurse dialed the number.She frowned and tried again.“The number you’re calling is currently switched off.”Letting out a soft sigh, the nurse glanced at the paper again. Then she stood up, looked around the hallway, and scanned the area, hoping to spot the man who had given her the number.Holding the paper tightly, she stepped away from the desk, calling out gently while checking each direction, “Sir? Hello? Are you still here?”But there was no sign of him.….……………………..“So happy you decided to come see your aunt after so long,” a chubby Italian-looking woman said as she placed a cup of tea on the table.Kristen nodded, feeling grateful that the woman had accepted her into her home.

It’s only right that we come. Max is family.”Valtor exhaled heavily, clearly uneasy. “I appreciate you both, will forever be grateful” he said, reaching out to shake Erik’s hand.Mrs. Julia stood a short distance behind, trying to keep composed, though her hands trembled slightly by her sides.
