"Please, sir, suit yourself," the young man adds, rubbing his hands against his jeans. Liam and Derick are seated on the mat that has been spread out on the floor. The boy brings them hot tea and lays the cups on the wooden table, which was fairly low. "Well, we have something to ask in favour of," Liam says, loosening his tie. "We will get your mother to a very good hospital." "You rich people will only aid when you need something else from the poor ones," the child clenches his fist as tears stream down his face. Derick examines Liam's face as he pulls out a piece of paper stating that he is an employee of their E and M firm. "While having a company-owned car and a new apartment worth $15,000 a year," Derick says as he hands the file and paper to the boy."Maybe your mother and that little brat can survive if you join our company and supply us with your knowledge on anything. Consider it and call us at this number" as he throws the company's visiting card, Liam says. Derick d
On Liam's phone's screen, an unexpected message appears. He puts down his pen and picked up his phone to check his messages. Rose was the sender, and she asked him to meet her in the coffee shop next door. Rose sat sipping coffee in her chair, dressed casually and wearing a black cap.Liam wears his pricey blazer and slacks to the coffee shop. The night was dark and cold, and as he entered the coffee shop, the server directed him to the path where Rose was sitting alone."Do you know Mr. Nam?" Rose asked as he sat alone. "Yes, he is one of the respectful officers," Liam adds, pausing on his approach to take the coffee cup and looking at her."Yes, this coffee business is owned by his son. Did you realise that?" Rose says this as she takes a step back and crosses her legs. "No, I simply admire him. I'm not familiar with his past" with a shake of his head, Liam says. "That's excellent. So, please don't do anything stupid tomorrow at the party, since I know you're going to be one of
President Han walks up to the podium and begins his address by saying "We've arrived at this auspicious occasion and the lovely evening with beautiful and handsome faces, and as president, I'm starting to fall for them. Thank you for making today a day to remember as the day we all prayed for our aspirations."Rose ignores the other guests as the claps become louder and settles into her chair. "Sir, we have a problem," one of the officers says as Derick turns around and nods before rushing over to Liam to give the message.Derick whispers softly into Liam's ears while applauding, "hey, we have an issue in the control room." Liam nods and walks away to meet with the control room personnel. "What exactly is the issue?" As he sits in the chair, Liam says."Sir, we examined all the basements, and all of the cameras are working except the middle one," the officers say as they show Liam the channel."Go to the circuit board and check the charge level, and if necessary, call the emergency de
As the ceremony for the new directors concluded, the celebration got busier with cheery music. As Rose awoke from her inebriated stupor, she discovered herself lying on the ground and began to gaze about while her eyes were only partially open and her hair was a mess.She turned back as she cradled her face with both hands and found a teapot with the words herbal tea inscribed on it. She took a grip of it after carefully inspecting it for a long, drank it, and held her nose with two fingers in case the flavour was bitter.She picked up a small piece of paper that was resting on the desk's corner and unfolded it, leaving only the words 'if you are awake then be tidy and change your dress as you were sleeping on it. It might have wrinkles, much like the outfit you can see on the red box'. The red box that was mentioned in the note was lying on the lovely cheetah-printed couch when Rose discovered the box she took a quick breath and opened the box to reveal the dress, which was clearly v
Rose and Liam were both seated on the sofa by the stairwell of his home. Yellow, dim lights were just above them, and the wine glasses were clearly visible under the table that was covered with the shine of the light. Liam shook his head and said, "Wherever I travel, my brother usually gets me some expensive goods."As the words echo throughout the space, Rose turns around. She stretched her hands as she lay back on the sofa and said, "It's really wonderful. I don't like to spend money on apartments like this because once I use them, the next day I have to give them to some tenants."Liam smiled slightly as he took in the entire room and realised it had been a while since he had anybody here other than his brother. As he stood up and tapped the table to get Rose's attention, he noticed a quiet warmth beneath the dome.As Liam clears his throat and says, Rose leaps off the sound as he speaks "Do you need food? Half past eleven is now..." Rose interrupts and adds, "Yeah. I had only wine
"Hey, brother, what's up?" While sitting on his bed with his legs crossed, Michel asks. Liam adds as he rises from the table, "Uh... You see I need to move out so can you find a cheap place for me and please try to get some folks under me." Liam then leaves Rose alone to finish her meal." Why is something wrong?""You know there might be some individuals behind me trying to plot anything and I'm not comfortable with it so I need my peace to be present," Liam responds as he yanks his coat out of the closet as Michel questions him.Liam hangs up the phone, and Michel utters "alright.." As soon as Liam realises how many items there are in this apartment, he gathers his possessions. He finds that moving them is quite challenging.[At noon, Andrew calls Liam]"Where are you? I heard what happened" As he climbs inside the automobile, Andrew says. Liam declares, "I'm moving out," as he stuffs his items into a sizable black bag. As he hangs up, Andrew says, "Our man has already come. You sh
"Sir? Hello....." The restaurant's owner, an elderly man with glasses and a plain outfit consisting of a buttoned coat and black pants, is greeted by Rose. As he placed his dish in the oven, Rose cast a wide gaze his way."Father? She just arrived here." The female servant addresses her father, who is also his daughter. He slowly circles around to face the new client, adjusting his glasses. "oh! Please tell me what you would want, Miss." Who was Rose smiling at for no apparent reason, the elderly man queries. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Edward," Rose quickly reads the name tag that was fastened to his coat while he continued to stare in shock."Yes, Miss. Shall I bring you some chips?" Edward enquires once again since he was aware that she was the first client to treat him with respect; at the end of the day, everyone else had merely been calling him old guy or geezer. Rose shakes her head and replies, "No, rather, I'd like to talk to you.While sitting down with Rose and his
Emilo screams in anguish and begins to rub her tied hands while Liam stands there without even giving her a second glance. "Don't try to fight back, it won't help"Emilo asks, "You realise what would happen to you if Andrew finds out about this don't you?" as she huffs to breathe and stops rubbing her hands. Liam says while seated on the other chair from Emilo "I couldn't give a damn. Since high school, Andrew has been a dependable buddy, so I don't mind that you're married to him."After some time, Liam gets to his feet and offers Emilo food as she ignores him with each sneer from Liam. "You came here, say you, to persuade me to keep Andrew at the gathering?" As he sets his meal down on the table, Liam inquires.Liam holds a black glove in his hand and sighs, saying "it would have been better if you hadn't come here," as Emilo nods and gives him an eye. She screams, "Don't do it Liam! You are a detective and detectives don't use guns..." As the revolver pulled the trigger and shot
Two Months later.Rose and Liam returned to their cozy apartment nestled amidst the breathtaking mountains. The air was crisp and refreshing, a stark contrast to the chaos and heartache they had experienced in the past. As they stepped inside, a sense of tranquility washed over them, and they couldn't help but feel a wave of relief. The past two months had been a whirlwind of emotions, but they were determined to leave it all behind and embrace the present.Liam, having learned from his past mistakes, had been open and honest with Rose about his previous affairs. It was a difficult conversation, filled with tears, questions, and moments of doubt. But through it all, Rose stood strong, recognizing that those relationships were a part of Liam's past and had no bearing on their future together. She understood that he had grown and changed, and that she was the one who now held his heart.For Rose, knowing about Penelope, the woman who had once captured Liam's heart, was both a bittersweet
Days turned into nights, and Liam respected Rose's wish for space. He engaged in various activities to occupy his mind and distract himself from the longing he felt for her. Time passed slowly, but he understood that healing required patience and understanding.Eventually, after what felt like an eternity, Rose reached out to Liam. Her voice was tentative, but there was a newfound strength in her words. She expressed her gratitude for his patience and understanding and conveyed her desire to reconnect and rebuild what they had.As they met again, their embrace was filled with warmth and forgiveness. Liam and Rose vowed to be more open and honest with one another, to communicate their fears and insecurities instead of letting them fester in silence. They understood that their love was resilient, capable of weathering storms and emerging stronger.The bonfire gathering had become a turning point in their relationship. It had allowed them to confront their fears, address their doubts, an
Reluctantly, Liam took a step in, his tension easing slightly. He realized that he needed to let Rose speak, to hear her side of the story before he let his anger consume him completely.Rose, her voice steady but tinged with sadness, stepped forward, standing beside Sally. She glanced at Liam, her eyes filled with a mix of apprehension and longing. "Please, Liam, let me explain. There are things you don't know," she pleaded, her voice barely above a whisper.Liam, though still visibly agitated, nodded begrudgingly. He knew that he needed to hear Rose out, to understand what had led them to this moment. With a tense nod, he gestured for them to continue.Sally exchanged a quick look of reassurance with Rose before leading her to a more secluded spot nearby. She knew that this conversation would be difficult, but it was necessary for both Rose and Liam to find some resolution.As they walked away, leaving Sally behind, Sally couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions herself. She hoped t
Liam's scowl deepened as he absorbed the information. Rose had always been resourceful, finding ways to stay hidden and out of reach. But this time, luck was on Liam's side. He nodded to Leo, a determined look in his eyes, and swiftly gathered his belongings."Prepare the car, Leo. We can't waste any more time," Liam ordered, his voice laced with urgency. "And make sure Evan and Jodi are on high alert. We don't know what we might encounter."Leo nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation, and immediately reached for his phone to relay the message. As he dialed the numbers, Liam stormed out of the cabin, his mind racing with thoughts of the imminent confrontation.Leo concluded his call, making arrangements with Evan and Jodi, their trusted allies who had been assisting them in the search for Rose. He then rushed to the reception desk to settle the accommodation bill, expressing gratitude to the receptionist for granting them the extra time to stay.With the car prepared and th
Liam took the files from Leo's hands and opened one of them. Inside were photographs of Rose with a mysterious man, caught in intimate moments that broke his heart. He couldn't believe what he was seeing, and anger and sadness welled up inside him."What is this?" Liam demanded, trying to keep his composure."Evan and Jodi have been investigating Rose for a while now," Leo explained. "It appears she's been seeing someone else behind your back."Liam's mind was a whirlwind of emotions. Betrayal and hurt mixed with confusion and anger. He couldn't fathom why Rose would do this to him, and he felt a deep ache in his chest."I can't believe this," Liam said, his voice trembling. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?""We wanted to be sure before bringing it to your attention," Evan spoke up, his voice stern. "We've been gathering evidence discreetly, and it was only recently that we had enough to confront you with."Liam sighed heavily, feeling torn between wanting to confront Rose and needing
Rose stepped into her cozy cabin, breathing in the fresh mountain air. The warmth of the fireplace embraced her as she closed the door behind her. The crackling sound of the firewood brought a sense of comfort and tranquility that she desperately needed. She couldn't help but feel a sense of relief as she left the chaos and heartache of her past behind.As Rose settled into her cabin, she couldn't help but reflect on the events that had led her to this peaceful retreat. Liam, her husband, had been a constant source of emotional turmoil for her. The relationship had been filled with ups and downs, and after countless arguments and tears, Rose had finally found the strength to walk away.Now, here she was, seeking solace in the serenity of the mountains. This was her chance to heal, to rediscover herself, and to find happiness again. She had packed lightly, bringing only the essentials, but she hoped that this getaway would provide the emotional space she needed to rejuvenate her spirit
Rose's heart raced as she sped along the unfamiliar country roads, her mind consumed by a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. She clutched the steering wheel tightly, her knuckles turning white as she tried to navigate through the tears blurring her vision.Garla, the housekeeper at Liam's apartment, had left several urgent messages for her, insisting that she return and have a conversation with him. Little did Garla know, Rose was already aware of Liam's past affairs. She knew that by becoming his wife, she would be forced to confront those painful chapters of his life, just as she had witnessed the elderly woman's confrontation at the auction, a woman named Penelope whose name was connected to Liam in some way.As Rose's tears continued to flow, her mind raced with questions. How could Liam have hidden these affairs from her? Was he truly remorseful? Could she ever trust him again? The weight of the truth threatened to suffocate her, but she knew she had to confront it head-on.Lost
After getting into the penthouse and finding that the big door was open and not only that it was a break in. He growled Rose's name but he only found silence. Liam paced back and forth in his lavish penthouse, his frustration growing with each passing moment. Classical music flooded the air, filling the luxurious apartment, but it did nothing to calm his racing thoughts. Rose, his prized possession, had vanished without a trace, and it sent a surge of panic through his veins.Leo, Liam's loyal driver, stood nearby, his face etched with concern. He had been with Liam for years, serving as both a trusted companion and a confidant. When Liam gave him the order to find Rose, Leo knew he had to act swiftly and decisively."I want you to check the CCTV cameras," Liam commanded, his voice laced with urgency. "Find out who she talked to, where she went. I need answers, Leo. And give me your damn keys!"Leo's eyebrows furrowed, and he instinctively reached for his back pocket where he usually
Rose's heart pounded in her chest as she watched Liam's eyes, their warm glow suddenly tainted with a flicker of anger. Her gaze shifted from Liam to the old woman who had been conversing with him just moments ago. The woman exuded an air of opulence and spoke with a commanding tone that seemed to carry the weight of her wealth. Clad in an evening dress that radiated elegance and allure, she stood out among the attendees of the auction.Confusion and curiosity consumed Rose's thoughts. How could Liam bring her to such a public event, especially when they were supposed to be maintaining the facade of a happy couple? She had assumed they would continue their charade discreetly, far from prying eyes. The scenario seemed ill-fitting, like pieces of a puzzle forced together, creating an unsettling dissonance.Rose observed Liam's smile, contrasting the one he had reserved solely for her. It bore an intensity she had not seen before, an amalgamation of warmth and anger. She wondered what ha
