"What are you doing here?" Simon asked angrily. Richard smirked, his eyes filled with hatred. "One of my spies told me you have a girl with you," he said. Simon became even more infuriated. "And how does that concern you?" he retorted to Richard. Richard's obvious smirk displayed his intense dislike for Simon and how much he was enjoying the situation.With all the commotion happening between Richard and Simon at the entrance of the room, Gabriella was awoken from her deep sleep. It took her quite some time to gather her thoughts as her head was pounding. After a few minutes, while Richard and Simon continued thei
****After the conversation between Elena and Richard about Gabriella, some ladies entered the villa a few minutes later, looking confused as they did not know who to ask about the person they were looking for. Luckily, Elena walked in at the right time, and one of the ladies approached her for directions to find the person they were seeking. "Excuse me, ma'am, do you know where Richard Maxwell is?" she asked."Why do you seek Richard Maxwell?" Elena interrogated."He asked us to meet him in his villa, and he told us to ask for him from anyone at the villa," one of the ladies responded."Kindly sit while I call him for you. What do I say your name is?" Elena asked."Tell him Elizabeth," the lady answered.Elena left to meet Richard.

****Simon is on his way back from his company when he receives a call from his mother, Emily.

While on his way home, suddenly his driver stops with full force. "Are you okay?" Simon asks. "Sir, I think I just saw a woman laying in the middle of the road," the driver responds. "A woman!" He exclaims. Then he gets out of the car to check, and the driver accompanies him. They both approach the woman to see if she is still breathing. They touch her and discover that it is Gabriella, and she is still breathing but gasping at the same time. "Please help me," Gabriella pleads while breathing heavily.

****After leaving the city hospital several hours prior, Simon arrived at his workplace. His staff were shocked to see him arrive late, as he was known for his punctuality and disciplinarian behavior. However, as the boss, no one dared to question him. Simon approached Mary, his assistant secretary. "Please meet me in my office within the next thirty minutes," he ordered coldly. "Right away, sir," Mary responded.Simon then entered his office and immediately sat down to relax and alleviate his stress. While doing so, he began reminiscing about the stressful events that had occurred throughout the first half of his day. Thirty minutes later, there was a knock on his door. "Who is it?" he shouted. "It's Mary, sir," she answered. "Oh, Mary," he exclaimed. "Come in."Mary entered his office and stood in front of him, wearing a confused expression. "Sir, you requested my presence," she said patiently. "Yes, Mary. How are you doing today? Can you provide me with an analysis of what I mis
****Richard had a long day at work, which left him thoroughly exhausted and stressed out. He arrived home late and immediately went to his room to get some rest. A few minutes later, Rosella entered his room because she knew he had returned from work. A smile crept onto her face as she noticed how recklessly he was sleeping. "Honey, you should have at least taken a shower when you got back," she complained. Unfortunately, Richard was already fast asleep, so she removed his shoes, unbuttoned his shirt, and arranged him on the bed for a more comfortable sleep. When she finished, she gazed lovingly at him, smiled, and switched off the lights to help him sleep better. She then closed the door and retired to her own room to get some rest.The following morning, Richard woke up early as expected. But this time, he deliberately went to the dining table to have breakfast because he knew his mother would be furious with him if he skipped it, just like he had skipped dinner. "Oh, I see you'r
