"What the hell are they trying to do by coming here?" Annalia muttered under her breath when she saw Adam's car parked in front of a building that she was unfamiliar with. However, given that the name "ASUL" is engraved in the right-hand corner above the glass entrance door, she believes that this establishment is a company. While Felix and Adam exit the vehicle and proceed into the building, Anna stays in the parking lot and keeps an eye on them from her vantage point in the car.

When they eventually were able to enter the building, Annalia felt the urge to follow them and simply hide in an area where she would not be noticed by anyone. She exits the vehicle while simultaneously observing her surroundings to ascertain whether or not any security personnel is lurking nearby. Thankfully, there are none of them. Annalia tiptoed across the massive dumpsters that had been placed on the opposite side of the entrance door, next to the thick cement wall. She peeked her head slightly out of t

    This is really breathtaking in every way! Even though it is already dark, Annalia can still appreciate the beauty of the ocean because of the light bulbs that emerge from the branches of the trees. They are reflected in the water. Since there are no other residents here except them, she inferred that Adam owns this property outright. Now, she gradually comes to the realization that she has never enjoyed anything quite like this before. Annalia is constantly occupied with work, films, interviews, paparazzi, and keeping her splendor and beauty. In essence, being subject to the expectations and demands of other people. But unfortunately, that's just part of her career role. But now, after many years of hiding both in front of and behind the cameras, the universe has granted her the freedom to experience this sensation yet again. "Hey, let's go inside the cabin," the speaker called out. Annalia was unaware that Adam was already following close behind her. When she looks at him, her eyes

    Both Annalia and Adam chose to spend the middle of the night swimming and enjoying the sea. They would occasionally make fun of each other before laughing at the scene. However, most of the time, it is just Adam acting perverted. To put it simply, they are having an incredible time. After a while, both ascend from the water and kill the remaining minutes before returning to the cabin. She found that the prolonged stillness between Annalia and Adam was, contrary to her expectations, soothing and comforting rather than unsettling. She enjoys it since she can feel at ease and breathe thoroughly. "Annalia." Adam broke the silence by calling her name. Annalia finally opens her eyes and casts a curious gaze in Adam's direction. "Hm?" Adam whispers, "Come here." He then taps the gap between them. "It's freezing. You're just going around in that shirt, "Adam continues.

    Something heavy was on Annalia's tummy when she first opened her eyes. She turned his head to the side and looked at Adam, who was sound asleep while holding her waist and resting his head between her breasts. "Adam," she said, "you're sleeping well." Annalia flashed Adam a giggle while trying to comb his hair. While compared to her usual aura, it seems as though he is more approachable when he is sleeping. Annalia was pushed to readjust her posture because of Adam's sudden movement. Fuck! Her entire center is ablaze and throbbing. It stings like crazy! Then again, the young man claimed her for himself multiple times in several positions he desired. They were almost caught up in the morning thanks to Adam when all of a sudden, Annalia fell asleep. Adam slowly opened his eyes, but they were only cracked open a little bit. He then turned his attention to Annalia and smiled warmly. "Hey," Annalia mutters in a low voice. Adam greeted Anna in the morning while putting more pressure on

    Annalia finalized her look by adding the finishing touch of one earring to her ear. She wears a white satin cami dress with a split hem, stiletto-heeled ankle strap sandals, her favorite diamond and gold accessories, and a furry open-front fuzzy coat to lend exquisiteness and sophistication to her ensemble. Anna styled her hair into large, bouncy curls and applied her favorite red lipstick to complete her glam makeup look. She casts a glance at herself in the mirror installed in her vanity area and smirks as she is pleased with how her outfit and makeup. Adam is already in the lobby after she instructs that he not accompany her into the penthouse. Annalia flatly rejected Don's offer that she have a professional makeup artist spruce up her looks as she has a better preference for handling her makeup on her own.

Annalia's birthday party has come to an end, and at this time, all of the celebrity guests and media are leaving the party venue. Anna gives a polite response, "Thank you, Mr. Delatorre." After chatting with other celebrity guests, Marcel and Don eventually caught up with them and joined them. Because Annalia is so worn out, all she wants to do is sleep through the entire night. Holding a conversation with the visitors, dealing with media members, and keeping Delatorre's presence can be very draining. "We’ll go ahead, Ms. Davis. Again, best wishes on your birthday. I truly enjoy getting to know you throughout this night," Marcel admiringly said though he had a wonderful time throughout the evening. Anna smiled at him in a way that was gentle and close-lipped. Marcel chose to leave first while Antonio remained. He said he would like to say something. "What is it?" "We have updates reg

    After Annalia entered her apartment, Adam got up and started pacing about around his. He intentionally distracted her not just because Adam felt guilty about what he had done earlier but because he wanted her to bypass the person following her earlier without her notice. Adam witnessed the strange man before Anna entered the lobby earlier. He didn't pay much attention to him because he was one of the cameramen, but when Anna and Adam arrived and entered the building, he was also there. That man may believe she didn't notice him, but Adam did He'll take care of him after he finds him. Now he needs to have a discussion with Alister to find out what happened the other day.

    Annalia sneered at him as she rolled her eyes and said, "You don't need to come here, you know." Adam did nothing more than give her the side-eye while he ignored her complaints. Annalia stared at him in shock, as she could not believe how shameless he was to behave in such a manner. As far as she is aware, this is her penthouse and allowing anyone, much less Adam is not an option under any circumstances. God! Anna adds to Adam, "You can place the paper bag on the table before you leave." Anna then retrieves her robe from the couch. She completely forgot that she had left it there. Now, Adam is going around the apartment, inspecting all of the nooks and crannies of the space, and occasionally furrowing his brows, especially when he spots the long floor windows on the side of the room. What the hell is wrong with him, seriously? "Hey, are you paying attention to what I'm saying?" "Why are your windows open to such a huge extent?" Adam ponders with a concerned expression, "someone migh

    “Ma’am? Are you okay? We'll start after 10 minutes." When she was called by the staff, Anna promptly returned to reality. She was unaware that her thoughts had already reached an excessively profound level. Since yesterday, Annalia has started acting in this manner. After what had happened, she found that she couldn't even look at Adam without directly thinking that he was a bad guy and a criminal. However, he reasoned that the man wasn't actually dead, but he had been shot so they could interrogate him first before Adam decided to end his life. Anna wasn't sure if Adam was being serious about it, but she was under the impression that the person in question was still alive. That gave her some cause for relief, at least. Yet, Annalia is still utterly concerned and has a lot of questions regarding the situation. She asked Adam multiple times what was going on and why they had attempted to kill the man. But he would not respond to any of her queries at all. It's almost as if he's hidi

    Adam didn't realize that he had fallen asleep and thankfully the nurse woke him up. He is not allowed to stay inside. When Adam got out, he immediately saw Don and Silas sitting on a bench. Adam couldn't look at them because he was so ashamed and sorry for what he did."Adam," Silas called him. "What happened? What did the doctor say?”The three of them looked at each other before Adam glanced at Annalia from the outside."She's pregnant. 2 weeks," Adam softly said. He knew Don and Silas already knew that that's why he didn't expect a reaction from them. Adam looked back at Don before lowering his gaze to surprise the two."What, Adam? What happened? Why is she lying there?” Don continuously asked."She had surgery because of the internal bleeding caused by force trauma," Adam started explaining. He can hear them cursing Marcel while Don punched the wall beside him. Adam continued speaking, "She didn't have a pulse when I saved her and brought her here to the hospital, but they manage

But there were some complications during the surgery. We managed to resolve them, but it was touch and go for a while there."Adam felt a wave of relief wash over him as he heard the doctor's words. Knowing that Annalia was okay and that the surgery had gone well lifted a heavy weight off his chest.
