Just then, a nurse walked into the room, carrying a tray with several medications. "Time for your meds," she said, smiling at Juliet.Romeo took this as his cue to leave. He pushed the door open, and stepped out into the hallway. The nurse and Juliet were now alone in the room.Outside, Romeo's chauffeur was waiting for him, standing beside the sleek black car. As Romeo approached, the chauffeur quickly opened the door for him. Romeo settled into the soft leather seat, feeling the familiar comfort of his luxury vehicle.The chauffeur closed the door behind him and walked around to the driver's side. He got in, adjusted his mirror, and glanced at Romeo through the rearview window. "Where to, sir?" he asked.Romeo thought for a moment before responding. "Take me to the office," he said finally.The chauffeur nodded and put the car in gear. They glided smoothly away from the hospital, heading towards Romeo's company headquarters.***VANESSA'S APARTMENTVanessa sat at her vanity table, f
"You're welcome." Riccardo whispered.Vanessa took a deep breath as she heard her name again. "You should go now," he said. She glanced at Riccardo one last time, then opened the curtain and walked onto the stage.The crowd was huge, and Vanessa saw Lily and Diego smiling at her. She smiled back and stepped forward to take the microphone and her award."Congratulations, Ms. Rodriguez," The female host said with a big smile, handing her the glass award. "Thank you so much," Vanessa said, taking it from her.The host nodded and gestured for Vanessa to give a speech. Vanessa held the microphone and looked out at the crowd. She felt a little nervous, but happy. She began to speak, her voice clear and strong."Thank you so much for this award. I'm truly honored. I want to thank my team for their hard work and dedication.

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. Whoever that guy was, she didn’t like the kind of aura she was getting from him. It felt dark, heavy. like a storm brewing on a sunny day.Her eyes darted around, till they fell on Tiffany, she was here at the award ceremony.Did she come here to represent her parents?

LUCAS'S MANSIONLeila walked into the house with her bag and her jacket already opened. Today had been a hectic day for her at work, and Lucas was to busy to come pick her up.She made her way towards the kitchen, opened the fridge and gulped down a bottle of cold water.She trashed the can in the waste bin before walking out of the kitchen.She proceeded to her room. She pushed the door open and walked in, her steps faltering. She threw her bag on the bed and sprinted towards the bathroom.She needed a cold bath. She decided to use the bathtub instead of the shower. Thirty minutes later, she rinsed her body and stood up from the bathtub.She wrapped a towel around her body, before making her way back to her room.She put on a blue night dress with a robe.As she stood in the mirror brushing her hair, her eyes moved down to her neck.The scar from the knife was still visible. Her hands slowly reached for it and she caressed it carefully.How could humans be so Ruthless? She thought.J
ST. MARTINS HOSPITALJuliet sat on her bed, the nurses had just finished giving her some drugs and she wasn't feeling sleepy yet.Her Boss had not come to visit her, she didn't really mind because she knew how busy he was. 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. She sighed as she remembered what the Doctor said about her loosing her memories.How was she supposed to get Revenge and her Father's company back if her Memory is gone?A thought crossed her mind and she stood up from her bed, and went towards the table.There was a Notebook and a pen on it. She quickly settled down on the chair and picked up the notebook and began writing down about herself.The reason she left America, why she came came. The Accident, her Ex-boyfriend, Stepmother and Step Sister, Her Dad and also, her Boss, Mr. Blackwood.She wrote down all the important details, in
Diego looked at Vanessa in shock. "What? You want to visit Spain now?" He asked, raising his eyebrows."It's not a Visit, Diego. This is a serious matter.""I don't want my kids feature to be in jeopardy, because of some old family feud." Vanessa declared, leaving no room for arguments."What about Ethan and Emma?" Diego asked worriedly."I'll be back by tomorrow morning. When they return from School today, let them stay indoors." Vanessa stated.Diego wanted to protest but relented. "I'll go with you." He said."No. Stay with Lily and Emily, and help me take care of my kids." She said rising from the couch.Just then, a knock sounded on the door.Vanessa glanced at Diego. "Help me check if Lily has arrived?" She asked."Okay." "Good. Book the flight. Let me get changed."

He swung the door open and met an unexpected visitor standing before him."Hey, Xavier." He
ST. MARTINS HOSPITALJuliet had been sleeping in her room since the previous night, not making any attempts to wake up.The Doctors and nurses were begining to get worried, the only thing that reassured them was the continuous rise and fall of her chest.They had already contacted Mr. Blackwood who had brought her to the hospital. She was sleeping like someone who was unconscious and the nurses who were in charge of taking care of her were worried because she had not eaten neither had she taken her drugs."When do you think she'll wake up?" One of the nurses asked another who was seating beside her in Juliet's room."I don't know. I'm scared." The second nurse replied, fiddling with fingers. They were both kept in charge by the Doctor to take care of Juliet."Yeah. I've never met a patient who sleeps like this when she's not unconscious.""Do you think she's in the after world? Maybe seeing a family member who she loved dearly.""What? Do you really believe stuffs like that?""I don't
Vanessa's father stared at her in surprise. "You've met him?" He asked, settling down on his swivel chair opposite Vanessa. "Not really. I saw him at a recent award event. He was staring at me like a creep." Vanessa cringed as she explained to her father. He sighed, his face twisting in pain as he spoke. "Alexander's father... he was my partner. 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. He hid it well. But I knew something was wrong." Vanessa's grip on her chair tightened. "Why didn't you stop him?" She asked, staring at her father. Mr. Rodriguez's eyes flashed with anger. "I trusted him. I thought he was my friend. But he was manipulating me, using me." Vanessa's voice was laced with disgust. "He used you?" Mr. Rodriguez's jaw clenched. "He did. And when I found out... he was gone. Vanished. Left me to pick up the pieces. Left th
