"Why? Just why?!" Her lips quivered, as she clenched her chest, "Why can't you reciprocate my feelings? I loved you Riccardo, or was my sincerity a crime?!" She concluded, her gaze casted on the man standing before her, whose face bore no emotion. Vanessa Rodriguez had always loved Riccardo Gonzalez right from the day she saw him. It was love at first sight. When she got the chance to get married to him, she didn't think twice even though her parents were against it. She thought that it was a chance to finally show Riccardo how much she loved him. But sadly even after their marriage he couldn't love her back instead after three years of marriage he presented divorce papers for her to sign. With shattered heart, she signs the divorce papers and leaves the country. Five years later, she's back in the country, ready to take over her father's new company, with her twins by her side and they look exactly like her ex husband. The problem now is that Riccardo Gonzalez wants her back!

We built this company together. We were like brothers." Vanessa's eyes narrowed. "What happened?" His voice dropped to a whisper. "He stole from us, from me. A lot. I don't know how much.

And he had been with her since the beginning of her accident. So she understood that he needed to face his work.She massaged her ears slowly. It still hurt from the severe bleeding.

LUCAS'S MANSIONLeila walked into the house with her bag and her jacket already opened.

Vanessa couldn't wait for the event to be over so she could go home. The room was filled with chatter, bright lights, and clinking glasses, but she just wanted to be away from it all. She shifted from one foot to another, feeling the ache in her heels. She glanced around the room, trying to distract herself from the uncomfortable feeling that had settled in her chest.
