Let's go shopping!" Camille's voice echoed from downstairs."Give me some minutes," Leila called back.Entering her room, Leila went ahead to freshen up, before dressing up in a blue dress."Should I call Riccardo?" she pondered silently."No, he's busy," she decided, pushing aside the urge to reach out to him.

Leila sat in the living room, as she anxiously waited for Lucas's return. It was already late, and he was yet to arrive from work. Her attempts to reach him on phone were futile. Each call went unanswered, leaving a growing sense of worry within her.As the minutes passed by, Leila's worry grew. She knew that Lucas had his bodyguards with him. But still she couldn't help it. Picking up her phone, about to dial his number again, the sound of engines pulled her attention. With a sigh of relief, she went to open the door.Lucas's black car pulled into the driveway and Leila eagerly watched as he alighted from the car. Without hesitation, she ran towards him and enveloped him in a tight hug."You're late." she pouted, her voice laced with a hint of playfulness."Am I?" Lucas teased, his arms wrapping around her in return.Leila playfully swatted his chest. "Yes, you are. What took you so long?" she asked, her concern evident."I had a lot of work to do."

After microwaving the meal, Leila balanced the tray carefully in her hands and made her way to Lucas's room. The sound of running water greeted her ears as she pushed open the door, indicating that Lucas was still in the shower."He's still having his bath." She muttered to herself as she set the tray down on the table. Taking a seat on the chair beside it, she patiently waited for him to finish.A few minutes later, Lucas stepped out of the bathroom, dressed casually in loose black pants and a matching vest that showcased his toned physique. Leila couldn't help but admire the sight, her gaze lingering on his abs before quickly diverting as he caught her staring."Are you going to keep staring at me all day?" Lucas teased, a playful glint in his eyes. Leila's cheeks flushed crimson as she mumbled a response."I brought you dinner," she managed to say, avoiding his gaze.Lucas chuckled softly, sensing her discomfort. Taking a seat beside her at the table, he focused on his meal while L
Vanessa stood in front of her mirror, brushing her black hair. She looked at her face and saw her big, dark eyes. Her eyelashes were thick and pretty. Her nose was small and slightly turned up, making her look gentle.Her lips were full and pink. Her skin was smooth and had a warm glow. As she brushed her hair, her eyes looked deep in thought. She seemed lost in her own world.Her mind suddenly drifted back to her kids. She wondered if she had done well in convincing them to leave Riccardo and whoever they wanted to search for as their Dad.Her kids were growing up fast now. They've never once asked her about their them, but as they grow older they seemed to have gotten more curious.She wondered if they grew up and asked her about their Dad, what she was going to tell them.That they dirvoced? That he's Dead? Or that they are better off without him?Those questions swirled in her mind, but no answer came. After brushing her hair, she wore a blue Pants, white vest inner-wear and a bl
"What?" Tiffany asked in surprise"Why? Don't you understand English?" Vanessa retorted."But, This has nothing to do with my choice of outfit." Tiffany said, her brows pulled together in a frown."If you say that, then I guess you still have a lot to learn." Vanessa replied, adjusting her jacket."I'm Busy. We'll schedule this meeting for another day." She added, walking off.Tiffany huffed in frustration. Vanessa stopped in her tracks and turned to face her."Don't waste my time next time." She said, then walked off without turning to look back again. Lily and Diego followed behind her, leaving Tiffany alone in the lobby.She stared at Vanessa's retreating figure, and a wave of embrassmemt washed over her. She also couldn't deny the fact that Vanessa had changed so much, unlike before.With a sigh, she picked up her handbag and the file she came with, before walking off. Her father would be mad at her if he finds out that her way of dressing disrupted the deal.Vanessa walked into h

Lily said."Let's visit one of the best Restaurants in town.""Then after that, we'll go to the grocery store to get more baking ingredients.""What is tomorrow's date?" Vanessa asked."16th. Why?"
