Adrienne's eyes widened in realization. "I suspected as much. I knew she was lying," she replied.Silence settled between them, the weight of understanding slowly dissolving any lingering tension. Adrienne stifled a yawn and stretched her hands, feeling the weight of exhaustion settling in."Are you planning to stay a bit longer or will you be leaving soon? I really need to get some sleep," Adrienne asked, her voice laced with weariness.Daniel smiled and shrugged, "I don't have any plans for the rest of the day, so I'll stick around. Don't worry about me, go and get some rest."A wave of relief washed over Adrienne's face. "Phew! Thank you so much. I'll catch up with you later," she said as she made her way up the stairs, her steps heavy with fatigue.Suddenly remembering something, Adrienne paused. She turned back to face Daniel. "Oh, Daniel, I almost forgot! There's something I wanted to ask you."Curiosity piqued, Daniel raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"Adrienne's gaze shifted to

"Men! Disgusting creatures! Will resort to any means to access the sacred temple between a woman's legs!" Adrienne spat, allowing herself to recall the disturbing clip of John violating her in her most vulnerable state. It was early on a Sunday morning, and her attempts at meditation had been fruitless. It was clear as day that she would be firing him without a second thought.Lost in her thoughts, Adrienne's tranquility was abruptly shattered by a phone call from Lucy."Hello," Adrienne answered with a sigh."Ma'am, I have some news. Daniel was arrested last night," Lucy informed her."What? Why? Where is he now? I'll go there immediately," Adrienne responded urgently."No, ma'am. He was actually arrested last night but released this morning. Your mother had him released. I was instructed not to inform you, as Daniel claimed you were asleep during his arrest," Lucy explained."Oh, but you should have still called me. What led to his arrest?" Adrienne inquired."He assaulted John, your

The weight of it all became too much, and Adrienne couldn't contain her frustration any longer. "Life!!!" she yelled into the air, a mixture of anger and sorrow escaping her lips.After about thirty minutes, when she was sure that John must have left, she wiped away her tears and composed herself. With newfound determination, she made her way back into the house, seeking solace in the familiarity of her room. It was time to regroup, to gather her strength, and to continue fighting for the life she deserved. Adrienne played soft, melancholic music as she sat cross-legged on the floor. The heaviness of her sadness hung thick in the air, tangible and palpable to anyone who entered the room. The mournful melody flowed from the speakers, diffusing through the space and tugging at the strings of her heart.With each passing note, the music coursed through Adrienne's veins, igniting a fire within her. Gradually, the slow rhythm stirred dormant emotions, coaxing her to respond. A small, tenta

"What do you mean by that?" Daniel asked, his voice tinged with concern.Adrienne took a deep breath before speaking, her eyes fixed upon him. "It's been almost three years, Daniel," she began, her words measured. "I can't help but feel like I've been using you, keeping you from pursuing your own dreams and aspirations. Your goals. I've realized how selfish I've been, and it's weighing heavily on my conscience. You've always been there for me, unwavering in your support, never taking a single day off or even going on vacation when you were due for it. I could've insisted that you take a break, but I was selfish. And you, you always declined, never showing any desire for time off. This has started to make me uncomfortable, and that's why I'm pleading with you now, begging you to allow me to let you go."Confusion etched across Daniel's face as he listened intently. "Did you ever force me to stay by your side?" he questioned, his voice gentle yet firm. "It's something I chose willing

Adrienne shifted uncomfortably in her seat. "Okay, yeah, you've caught me. I actually own this restaurant," she confessed, her voice tinged with a mix of vulnerability and excitement."Oh really? That's incredible. When did you open?" Ryan asked with genuine enthusiasm."We opened about a month ago," Adrienne replied, a proud smile illuminating her face."That's impressive. But why did you decide to open a restaurant?" Ryan inquired, his eyes locked on Adrienne, eager for her response.Adrienne took a moment, savoring the opportunity to share her passion. "I love food, Ryan. I'm unabashedly a foodie. Throughout my life, I've always carried a genuine passion for both food and hospitality. Opening a restaurant has been one of my lifelong dreams. I wanted to create a space where people could come together and truly enjoy a unique dining experience. It's about creating cherished memories and bringing people closer through the joy of good food," she explained, her voice radiating with her

"You were out with Ryan last night?" Daniel asked Adrienne, his eyebrows raised in surprise."Yeah, why?" Adrienne asked, her tone defensive."Some people took pictures of you guys and now it's all over these tabloids. There's an article here that says 'Business Mogul spotted with cosmetic magnate enjoying what seemed like a romantic dinner getaway,' and another that says 'Beauty tycoons caught on a date, sparks dating rumors.' This paparazzi!" Daniel exclaimed, frustration evident in his voice."Caught? Were we hiding? Tch! They can say whatever they want, it's not like I care," Adrienne dismissed with a wave of her hand, trying to remain composed."Put that away. Have you picked a place you'll go for your one week's leave?" Adrienne asked Daniel, changing the subject."Um...my house?" Daniel hesitated."Your house? Seriously? It's your first break in months, even years, and you're spending it at home. Ah! You're such a weirdo," Adrienne teased, a playful smile on her face."And you'r

Ryan sat at his desk in his office, the chaos of his father's phone call still ringing in his ears. As always, his dad had launched into an unending rant, fueled by his disapproval over the recently published article. Ryan's heart sank at the thought of disappointing his father yet again. He couldn't believe that his dad's main issue was him spending time with Adrienne, a girl who wasn't his supposed fiancée, Annabelle. But that wasn't the only thing that bothered Ryan. His dad had also warned him against proceeding with the collaboration he had been eagerly pursuing, a collaboration that Ryan had no intention of giving up on.Determined to sort out his thoughts, Ryan quickly texted Juliette, asking her to meet him at his house once she finished her work for the day. He let her know he was leaving the office and stepped into his car, embarking on the drive home. The weight of the day's conversation pressed on his shoulders, intensifying his need for a moment of solace.Upon arriving at

"Suspected murder? Are you sure?" Juliette exclaimed, her voice filled with disbelief, as she spoke to the person on the phone."Okay, I'll head over there now," Juliette said, determination lacing her words, before promptly hanging up.Curiosity and worry etched on his face, Ryan turned to Juliette and asked, "What happened?""It's my cousin. He was arrested a few hours ago," Juliette replied, her voice laced with concern."So, he is a murder suspect?" Ryan ventured to ask, his eyes searching hers for answers.Juliette nodded solemnly, her features tinged with sadness. "According to what I was just told, yes. But he's innocent, I promise. I need to go there and see what's really going on."Offering his support, Ryan stepped forward and gently said, "Let me drive you there. I don't want you to go alone."Concern instantly flashed across Juliette's face as she pondered his suggestion. "No. I don't want to bring unnecessary attention to you. You know you're in the entertainment news no
