I spent the entire day wrapped up in my thoughts, unaware that Martins had been rehearsing his words, building up the courage to talk to me. As the sun began to set, I found solace in my garden, tending to my flowers. The evening air was filled with the sweet scent of roses and jasmine, and the soft hum of crickets was a calming backdrop.

“Carina,” Martins called out softly, his voice steady but carrying an undertone of anxiety.

I looked up and saw him approaching. A warm smile spread across my face. “Martins, hi! What brings you here?”

He seemed nervous, swallowing hard before responding. “I need to talk to you. It’s important.”

Concern replaced my smile. “Of course. Let’s sit down.”

    Luke sat in his dimly lit living room, his eyes glued to the TV screen. The news was showing highlights from Carina's handing over ceremony. He watched, jaw clenched, as Carina confidently delivered her speech, then saw Martins kiss her passionately. The crowd's cheers seemed to echo in his ears, amplifying his anger and jealousy."That should be me!" he roared, standing up abruptly and hurling a vase across the room. It shattered against the wall, causing Claire to jump in her seat."Luke, calm down!" Claire demanded, her voice a mix of irritation and concern."How can I calm down?" Luke shot back, pacing furiously. "That should be me standing beside her, not Martins!"Claire folded her arms, her expression skeptical. "You were the one who said you hated Carina, remember? You wanted nothing to do with her."Luke stopped and turned to face his mother, his eyes blazing. "Can't you see, Mother? Carina is now a billionaire. She's powerful, successful. She's everything we need."Claire's

Luke had a smug look on his face, and Martins knew trouble was brewing."Well, well, if it isn't my dear uncle," Luke said, his voice dripping with sarcasm as he approached Martins. "Aren't you ashamed, Martins? Dragging a woman into this mess? And worse, trying to take her from me, your own nephew?"Martins chuckled, not the least bit intimidated. "Luke, let's get one thing straight. I've loved Carina long before you ever came into the picture. My feelings for her are genuine. You? You never appreciated her."Luke's face darkened. "I want Carina back, Martins. You need to step back."Martins' expression turned serious. "Stay away from Carina, Luke. She’s not some trophy to be won. If you come near her again, I swear, I’ll b
