Lisa carefully cleaned Sandra's room, meticulously tidying every corner of the space. As she cleaned the bookshelf, her eyes were drawn to a photo frame hidden among the stacks of books and other items. With caution, Lisa picked up the photo frame and discovered that it was a picture of Devan's late mother, who had passed away several years ago.However, what startled Lisa was the cross mark inscribed on the photo in red ink. She felt uneasy seeing the mark, wondering why Devan's mother's photo was marked in such a way. Lisa sensed that something was amiss, as if there was a secret hidden behind the mark.With a pounding heart, Lisa tried to understand the significance of the cross mark. Did it have any connection to Devan's mother's past? Or was there something Sandra was trying to conceal?These questions filled Lisa's mind as she sought answers to the mystery behind the cross mark. She felt that uncovering the truth behind the photo could be the key to unveiling the hidden secrets
Devan and Lisa had been working hard all day, cleaning Devan's grandmother's long-abandoned house. They had spent hours clearing away dust, rearranging furniture, and fixing some parts of the house that were damaged. Now, evening had arrived, and they felt deeply exhausted.Lisa glanced over at Devan, who was sitting wearily on the sofa in the living room. His face was slightly pale, and his eyes looked tired. Without saying a word, Lisa decided to make some iced tea for Devan, hoping the drink would rejuvenate him."Devan, I'll make you some iced tea. I think you could use a little break," Lisa said softly.Devan nodded weakly, "Thank you, Lisa. I do feel very tired."Lisa hurried off to the kitchen, leaving Devan alone in the living room. She opened the cupboard and took out a large glass adorned with flowers on the rim. Then, she filled the glass with ice cubes and poured freshly brewed cold tea into it. Lisa added a bit of honey and slices of lemon to give it a refreshing taste.K
The sun slowly sank on the western horizon, illuminating the living room with warm golden light. Eca and Devan sat side by side on the sofa, engaged in a conversation full of laughter and intimacy. They smiled at each other, their eyes filled with warmth and affection.Lisa, passing through the room, was surprised to see their closeness. Her heart fluttered with unexpected jealousy, although she tried hard to hide her feelings. She stood momentarily at the door, silently observing the scene before her."Eca, you know, today is a special day for me," Devan said softly, his eyes filled with love as he looked at the woman beside him.Eca smiled sweetly. "Is it? Why?""Today is the day I realized how lucky I am to have you in my life. You are the light in my darkness, the strength in my weakness, and the true love in my life."Touched by his words, Eca gently reached for Devan's hand. "You mean a lot to me too, Devan. I'm grateful to have you."Their eyes met in silence, filled with unspo
Moni looked at Lisa with a warm smile as the girl sat in front of the dressing table. Lisa, who was usually modest in her appearance, felt somewhat awkward with all the attention being given to her."So, what do you think about this?" Moni asked, pointing to several clothing options she had laid out on the bed.Lisa bit her lip, feeling uneasy with all this attention. "I'm not used to clothes like these, Moni. Maybe I should just stick to my usual work attire."Moni shook her head firmly. "No, no, no. Today is a special day, Lisa. Devan is coming, and I want you to look your best. Trust me, you'll look amazing."Lisa looked at Moni with hesitation but ultimately gave in to her friend's urging. "Alright, if that's what you want."Moni smiled satisfactorily and began to work, seizing every opportunity to enhance Lisa's appearance. She started with the makeup, delicately highlighting Lisa's facial features and making them glow. Then, she selected a dress that complemented Lisa's body sha
Lisa sat weakly on the sofa, her face pale and cold sweat dampening her forehead. Devan felt worried seeing Lisa's condition deteriorating."Grandma, I think Lisa needs to be taken to the doctor right away," Devan said, his voice full of concern.Grandma nodded in agreement. "Yes, we shouldn't take any risks. Devan, can you take her to the doctor now? I'll call a taxi immediately.""Of course, grandma. I'll take her right away," Devan replied as he helped Lisa to stand up.Lisa gave a faint smile to Devan, although her face looked pale and weary. "Thank you, Devan. I really don't know what's happening to me.""Don't worry, Lisa. We'll go to the doctor soon and make sure you're okay," Devan said gently, trying to reassure Lisa.They quickly left grandma's house, with Devan supporting Lisa as they headed to the taxi waiting outside the door. On the way to the hospital, Devan continued to accompany Lisa, giving her the support and comfort she needed.Lisa felt grateful to have someone li
Sandra felt her anger stirred by Devan's success and his decision to take control of their grandmother's inheritance. She felt humiliated and believed that Devan had usurped her rights. As her anger reached its peak, her mind was filled with cruel plans for revenge.With hatred consuming her heart, Sandra plotted to harm Devan in an unexpected way. She knew that one way to hurt Devan was by using a deadly poison. By pouring the poison into Devan's drink, she hoped to halt his success and happiness, even if only temporarily.In the darkness of her secluded room, Sandra meticulously planned every step. She eyed Devan's drink placed on the table, ready to be consumed at any moment. With cold and merciless determination, she poured the poison into the glass, spreading its dreadful corruption.However, even amidst the darkness of her scheme, justice and truth always find a way. And as often happens in life, evil never lasts long without consequences.Lisa, who was tidying up the table in t
Eca, filled with confusion and uncertainty after hearing Sandra's words and Devan's response, sought courage to seek out Robi, Devan's friend and cousin, for advice. She knew that Robi would listen and give her honest and wise counsel."Robi, can we talk for a moment?" Eca asked anxiously."Of course, Eca. What's up?" Robi responded with concern.Eca, her voice trembling, said, "I... I have a big problem with Devan.""What's going on? Tell me," Robi asked, raising his eyebrows."I... I heard something about Devan and Lisa... They... they seem to be very close.""What do you mean by 'close'?""I heard they're often together, they... they're said to be very affectionate.""Eca, I'm not sure what's really going on, but I know Devan. He doesn't seem like the type to be good and faithful," Robi instigated Eca's anxiety."So what should I do? I feel so confused and lonely."Robi reached out, giving a gentle touch to Eca's hand. "Listen, Eca. I'll always be here for you. And about Devan, may
Lisa walked lightly to the market, carrying a cloth bag on her shoulder. The morning sun shone brightly in the blue sky, creating colorful shadows in the busy market alleys.

"Ah, I'm just doing the best I can. But I'm very lucky to have such an amazing team like all of you."They walked silently for a moment, enjoying the peacefulness of the quiet night.

Devan nodded in agreement, adding, "We have to ensure that the meeting takes place in a safe location and under the supervision of the authorities."They realized that meeting Eca directly could be an opportunity to clarify the situation and find a good solution.
