Cardo had a straight look on his face as he walked to the elevator. His gaze was hard and his jaw was clenched.

"Boss!!! Finally!" Drake cried, rushing to Cardo. He glanced at him and sighed. His face was rumpled, there were wrinkles on his forehead and his eyes were red.

"Have you been resting at all?" He asked.

    "I LOVE YOU"Diamond felt a sudden wave of emotions rush through her when she heard the words she was least expecting. Her cries reduced but her low whimpers could be heard as her face was still buried on his firm chest."I love you," he whispered again but this time louder, clearing her doubts.
