"Who is Rosa?" Ryan asked, his curiosity evident in his voice. His dad's response was immediate and harsh. "Are you trying to play dumb, son?" he fired back, frustration lacing his words. "Dad, I have no idea who Rosa is, and that's why I'm asking you," Ryan asserted, trying to remain calm despite the tension. "Keep your third leg in check. You don't have to chase after every woman. I won't always clean up your mess, you know," his dad said abruptly, turning away and walking off. Confused, Ryan watched his dad leave, unable to comprehend what had just transpired. "What the hell is he talking about?" Ryan mused aloud, his mind filled with unanswered questions. Deciding to clear his thoughts, Ryan headed down to the parking lot. His driver opened the door for him, and he climbed into the car. As he settled in, Ryan grabbed his phone and dialed Andrew's number, seeking some insight. "Dude, what's up? What have you been up to? How did dad find out about Rosa?" Ryan questioned, eage
Juliette stood at the door, adorned in a stunning floral printed summer dress. Her hair cascaded in long wavy curls, complemented by a subtle shine of lip gloss. With a gentle knock on the door, she anxiously awaited a response. Within mere moments, Daniel swung open the door to find Juliette, causing his face to light up with joy. Their eyes met, and without hesitation, they embraced each other lightly, reveling in the warmth of their connection. Once inside, Juliette gracefully settled onto the couch while Daniel kindly offered her a glass of water. Grateful for the hydration, she thanked him. As he sat down beside her, their thighs gently brushed against one another. Daniel inquired about her day at work, his curiosity evident in his voice. "It was alright. I actually took the rest of the week off," Juliette replied, a hint of excitement in her voice. "Really? And why is that?" Daniel playfully teased, a mischievous smile on his face. Juliette couldn't help but giggle before mus
"Why did you kill John?" Adrienne demanded, her voice filled with a mix of anger and disbelief. He was taken aback by her accusation, his expression quickly shifting to confusion. "Huh? Kill? John? Who's John?" he asked, trying to feign innocence. "Come on, stop playing dumb. Do I look like a fool to you?" Adrienne said, her frustration evident as she pushed his chest back and sat up. "I have no idea what you are talking about," he replied, maintaining his façade. "There's absolutely no way my baby killed John. If he didn't, then you are the next suspect," Adrienne declared firmly. "Your baby? Your stupid assistant, Daniel?" he retorted, a stern look on his face. "Whatever, you are the one I suspect," she said, her voice unwavering. "What the hell is that supposed to mean? And who is this John? Why do you suspect that I have something to do with this John's death?" he demanded, his tone firm. "Because I have watched you do even worse things over the past years and stop playing
It was a sunny Saturday morning, and Adrienne arrived at the convention center accompanied by Lucy and Lisa. Together, their companies had partnered with Haven's cosmetics for a trade fair. As they entered, they were greeted by a stunning setup adorned with special makeup and skincare combos, enticing free merchandise, and an array of entertaining games. Surrounding them were the sounds of laughter and chatter as attendees happily shopped, engaged in heartfelt conversations, and tested out various fun activities. Adrienne scanned the lively crowd, her eyes landing on Ryan. He sported a hoodie that boasted the "Rie X Haven" logo, one of the event's exclusive personalized items. Adrienne also donned their merchandise, opting for the t-shirt paired with blue denim pants and comfortable black sneakers. Her hair cascaded down her shoulders, framing her beaming smile as she made her way towards Ryan. "Hey there," Adrienne greeted him warmly. "Hiii," Ryan replied, enveloping her in an unex
Adrienne sat in her usual meditation pose, lost in deep thought. With Daniel still on his leave and set to return to work tomorrow, and Ryan, her newfound friend who she had become attached to, already out of the country and not returning for two months, she felt a sense of loneliness creeping in. And then, there was boss. Although he had apologized to her the last time they met, Adrienne had no intention of crossing paths with him anytime soon. To make matters worse, Lucy, her usual companion, was also absent. Sundays were typically lonely for Adrienne, as Lucy rarely worked on weekends. Today was no exception, leaving Adrienne feeling more alone than ever before. The feeling reminded her of the first few days after waking up from her coma years ago, when her life had been pure hell. Back then, she had experienced unclear trances frequently and felt completely alone in the world. The incident had wiped away most of her memories, leaving her in a constant state of confusion. Lost i
"Who is this?" Lisa asked, her tone slightly impatient. "Oh, you must be one of her workers. Please tell her that her future sister-in-law wants to speak with her," the teenage girly voice said, trying to sound important. "Sister-in-law?" Adrienne muttered, her confusion evident as she tried to place the caller's identity. "Hi Renee," Adrienne said, finally recognizing the voice on the other end of the line. "Now that's the Adrienne's voice I know," Renee said, sounding relieved. "How are you doing? I have been expecting your call since the day I gave you my number," Adrienne said, an undercurrent of disappointment in her voice. "I didn't want to disturb you with calls or texts and honestly, I kinda forgot. Can you believe that? Can you imagine?" Renee teased, trying to lighten the mood and laughing at her own forgetfulness. "Yeah, I know why. Ryan told me a boy you've liked for a while finally asked you to be his girlfriend. It's understandable how you forgot to call," Adrienne
"Hi, good morning," Adrienne greeted the doctor with a warm smile. "Ah, Adrienne Davison. I have been expecting you," he said, acknowledging her presence with a nod. "Doctor...?" Adrienne questioned, wanting to address him properly. "Doctor Brad," he introduced himself, extending a hand towards her. "Oh, cool," Adrienne replied, shaking his hand politely. "Please, have a seat. So, have you made a decision yet?" he inquired, leaning forward slightly. "Yeah. I need your help in getting rid of this bump," Adrienne said with a determined tone, pointing to the small, almost imperceptible bump on her head. "Bump? Oh," Doctor Brad responded, realizing the cause of her visit. "Is that why you are here?" he asked, concern evident in his voice. "Um...yes. I want you to remove it," Adrienne confirmed, hoping for a solution. "Come on. I know there's more to it than just that bump. I can tell you're conflicted. Should I arrange a meeting with a counselor for you?" Doctor Brad proposed, se
"Forget it," she responded coldly, her voice weak. Daniel left the room, feeling puzzled. He checked his phone and came across the selfie that Adrienne sent yesterday. "Juliette must have opened it yesterday," he realized. "Is Adrienne mad at me?" Daniel wondered, feeling a mix of concern and guilt. He made his way to the living room and saw that Mrs. Davison was still there. "You guys haven't left?" Daniel asked, noticing Mrs. Davison and her boyfriend still in the room. "My baby had to get something for me. He'll be back soon," Mrs. Davison explained, referring to her boyfriend. "Oh," Daniel replied, feeling a bit uneasy. Mrs. Davison sensed Daniel's discomfort and decided to address the underlying tension. "Is everything okay between you and Adrienne?" she asked sincerely, as she took a seat next to him. Daniel hesitated before answering, unsure of how much to disclose. "I'm not sure. I don't think everything is okay," he finally admitted. Concerned for Daniel, Mrs. Davis
