The following morning, Tony groaned as he woke up, the memory of last night’s events rushing back. He smirked as he noticed Liana, sobbing on the floor. He started to climb the stairs, but her voice stopped him in his tracks.

“What do you think happened to us last night?” Liana asked, her voice shaking with emotion.

“Liana, I’m not in the mood to talk about it,” Tony snapped, turning away. But she grabbed his hand, stopping him.

    In the stillness of the morning, Tony stealthily slunk out of the mansion and made his way towards the dark, forgotten corner where Rose awaited him. His hair disheveled, Tony approached the scowling figure of Rose seated on the floor."Rose, I'm sorry for yesterday. I fell asleep," he said, extending his hand to console her. But Rose bristled, snatching her hand away and glaring daggers at him."Don't touch me, Tony. You abandoned me for your wife yesterday," she spat, feigning tears. "Just leave me alone."Tony's hand hung limply in the air, his attempts to placate Rose as fruitless as an empty well. As Rose continued to glare at him, her contempt radiating like a heat wave, Tony's mind raced with confusion."Why is she behaving like this? Does she think I'm begging her out of love? I'm just here for my own agenda," he thought, the harsh truth gnawing at him."I hope your mother's not awake yet. I'm leaving," Rose hissed, but Tony stood like a boulder in her path.As Rose raised her

Her words were laced with sarcasm, "Hey dear, it's getting late. I think you should leave."Liana, sensing the tension, interjected, "Mother, it's late. Maybe she should stay the night or Tony should take her home"Ms. Black's scoff was the only reply she received. "Nonsense! Why would your husband drive your best friend home? If you want Tony to drive her home, you should accompany them."Feeling

    Tony was deeply immersed in his work when he heard a knock on the door. "Come in," he said, and a woman entered carrying documents. Tony couldn't help but stare as she approached him, his gaze lingering on her."Boss, I need you to sign these," she said, holding out the papers.Tony ignored the documents, still transfixed on the woman. "Hold on a second," he said, locking eyes with her. "What's your name?""I'm Annabel," she answered, sensing his unwanted attention."Annabel," Tony replied, his voice smooth and seductive. "A pleasure to make your acquaintance."He stood up from his desk, approaching her with a confident swagger. Annabel shifted uncomfortably, unsure of his intentions. Before Tony could say more, the door burst open once again, this time revealing his mother.Tony's demeanor changed instantly, his charm dissipating as he rushed to embrace his mother.
