Dario and Dennis were surprised to see how their boss was smiling at him. It wasn't every time Ricardo smiled but recently, he was doing it more often, which worried him.

“Did you send the package? Did they do a great job?” Ricardo asked and turned around, both men before him were startled as they exchanged questionable glances.

“Y-yes sir…it's sent already,” Dennis replied hesitantly and Ricardo's smile doubled even more. This was shocking, the mighty ice cube was grinning.

“Do you need anything else sir?” Dario asked when Ricardo didn't utter a word after that. Glancing up, Ricardo's expression morphed into a serious one.

“The question is…is everything ready…the trip…is the jet ready?” He asked while tapping his fingers on the table. It had been two days since he attended the fashion show. His wife was shocked to know he was the sponsor of her company.

“Sir, you don't have to worry…we'll leave in a few minutes,” Dennis informed him, Ricardo seemed to be lost in thoughts. If he gues

    It only took an hour and some minutes to arrive in the new city of Lyon. Alana was happy that Julius was already there to accompany her. Her assistant Becky was there as well. After a rough flight with Ricardo. She didn't even want to set her eyes on him for the rest of the trip.“It's good to have you…but I offered to use my villa…well…” Julius said hesitantly, he wanted Alana to stay at his visit since this was her first time in the city.“I'm sorry, Julius… I don't want to inconvenience you” It was hard to explain, but she would rather not bother anyone. And if she agreed she would send out the wrong impression. “We are friends aren't we…the resort is okay, but I don't think it's safe,” he muttered, not sure why Alana always refused his offer. He only wanted to do something nice for her.“And I appreciate it…but I was told the resort is where everything will be happening…it will be more convenient for me in terms of movement,” all she wanted was to be independent and not depend on

    The entire night, Alana kept tossing and turning. This wasn't the first time she was sharing a bed with Ricardo. But the fact that she wanted nothing to do with him made her feel disgusted. As soon as morning approached, she was already up. Unfortunately, she found herself wrapped in Ricardo's arms. The blanket was big enough for two people, but she noticed it was thrown off.“Oh no,” she muttered, regaining her wits and attempting to flee. Ricardo didn't dare stir or let her go, his breathing was steady, which indicated he was fast asleep.“Mm,” the man groaned in his sleep, and to Alana's shock, he shifted around and ended up trapping her beneath him.“Oh no…move,” she mumbled through clenched teeth when the man's face connected with her neck. His hot breath fanning her ear made her feel uncomfortable. “R-Ricardo, wake up,” she struggled to push him off her, nothing seemed to be working because the man was comfortably snuggling to her.“This isn't helping,” Alana could only lie the

    There was nothing Becky feared than standing beside her boss, who was practically seething with rage. They were at a roadside restaurant waiting for Julius. After an encounter with that woman and Ricardo. Alana just wanted to be alone. “Did you call them…” Alana asked, slamming her cup of coffee hard on the table. Beck was startled, but she regained her wits and nodded. “Y-yes… I called for some backup, don't worry,” Becky remarked, even that didn't seem to calm Alana down. The coffee was hot, but the way she gulped it down made Becky wonder. “How dare he…such a fool,” Alana kept muttering while drinking coffee? She made a mistake coming here. She thought it would do her good, but unfortunately, it did not. “Mr. Julius is here,” Becky said when she spotted Julius getting out of his sports car. Alana glanced up and saw him too. The restaurant was a fast food one, they were sitting closer to the entrance, which showed the parking lot since the walls were entirely made of glass. “Hel

    As she stepped out onto the rooftop, she couldn't believe what she was seeing. Every inch of the space was decorated with fairy lights twinkling in the sunlight. The table was set with a lace cloth and vases of fresh flowers. “Well,” Ricardo said with a smile, and adjusted his coat. Alana was speechless. She didn't know what to say, her anger vanished instantly. How was she to put in a long face when the scenery before her was breathtaking. “I decided to do a little something for us…the city is beautiful and well…maybe this can be like our honeymoon,” Ricardo said as he walked to the table? He thought a lot of it, he never gave Alana a befitting honeymoon. He understood her anger and the loss of their child.“Do you like it?” He whispered, seeing that Alana was quiet. Did she like it? Only Alana knew, she blinked a few times, trying to push tears away. Ricardo stood beside the table, a warm smile crept on his face.“Alana,”she jerked back to reality. She couldn't help but feel her

    Stacey, dressed in a tight black gown, walked towards Ricardo with an alluring smile. “Hello there,” she purred, running her hands through her hair. “I didn't know you would come so fast.” She said while biting her lower. Ricardo eyed her suspiciously. “You had your men following me,” Ricardo Said as he glanced around the suite. Stacey owned the glorious resort. “What are you planning?” He added with narrowed eyes. Stacey stared at him for a while and walked to the bar area in her living room. “Oh, you misunderstood them… I just wanted to know what the bad man was up to,” she said, her eyes narrowing. She picked up a bottle of whiskey and glanced over at Ricardo. “It's late… I better go,” Ricardo said, knowing he was supposed to meet Alana. After so long, he was getting closer to having his wife back.“You were never like this Ricardo…in the past, you were so wild…but now,” Stacey said while eyeing him from head to toe.

Ricardo had promised to come straight to her hotel room after work, but instead, he was with Stacey, her rival. The pain gnawed at her heart, but she tried to push it aside for now.

    Becky paced back and forth, her eyes filled with worry, as she clutched her phone tightly against her chest. The bustling mall felt oddly silent as she waited for any sign of help. Suddenly, she heard faint, muffled voices coming from the elevator. Her heart skips a beat. “Oh no, madam! Is that you!? She quickly took out her phone and dialed for help, pressing her trembling finger against the screen. “Hello? Yes, my boss, she's trapped in the elevator! Please, we need help!” This was her fault. She should have gone with her boss. Soon the manager came rushing with some security. “What's going on, here,” the manager asked while his men rushed to the elevator. Becky was too agitated to explain. “You should know these buildings are used by people…how can you keep an elevator which is not working!” Becky yelled, feeling frustrated. They knew the elevator wasn't working, but they used it anyway. “I'm sorry to miss…this has never happened before…don't worry…my men will handle this,” th

Ricardo entered the bathroom, carrying a tray of decadent pastries and two glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice. He set the tray down gently and looked upon Alana with admiration. “Good morning, my love” Ricardo whispered as he leaned down to plant a kiss on her forehead.

    Alana and Ricardo snuggled in bed together, despite the doctor telling Ricardo to go to his room. He refused and wanted to be beside his wife. Alana was happy to be in the man's arms.“But it was untraceable…” Alana said with a frown. She was still confused about how Ricardo and the doctor managed to know exactly the poison Rocco used on Santiago. “We did a few tests, and apparently, he was injected with succinylcholine. It's a paralyzing agent that can cause respiratory arrest and is quite difficult to detect,” The elderly doctor explained while Ricardo nodded. “It's acquired through a black market…it's illegal and quite difficult to get the current,” Ricardo chimed in as well, and Alana was stunned. “I had Dario and Dennis watching Rocco. He met with some men who provided him with it,” Ricardo added, and Alana now understood everything. It seemed Ricardo knew something was wrong. She held on to him, knowing she was so lucky to have him.“We had the team male neostigmine, which rev

    Ricardo slowly opened his eyes, blinking against the harsh hospital lights. The throbbing pain in his body intensified as he tried to sit up, only to be met with a firm hand pushing him back down. Startled, he turned his head to see Marcus standing by his bedside, a look of concern etched on his face.“Lie down, Ricardo. You're badly hurt,” Marcus urged, his voice filled with worry. Confusion clouded Ricardo's mind as he tried to piece together what had happened. Why was he in a hospital bed? And why was Marcus here? Then, like a bolt of lightning, a memory flashed in his mind, and he jolted upright, ignoring the protests of his body.“Alana! Where is she? Is she okay?” Ricardo's voice trembled with fear as he frantically looked around the room, his heart pounding in his chest. Before Marcus could respond, Ricardo swung his legs over the side of the bed and attempted to stand, his body protesting with every movement. Ignoring the pain, he staggered towards the door, determination in h

    “You're shameless, forcing a woman to be with you,” Alana was in disbelief. By now, Rocco was only in his boxes. Threatening to have his way with her.“I've always loved you, Alana. I've always cared about you and wanted nothing but to give you the world!” Rocco made a low yell, the fact that he fancied her since the first day he set his eyes on her hurt him.“I'm a married woman!”“And I'm a man who deeply loves you…what does he have huh…what does Ricardo have that I don't…” he questioned. This time, his voice was low and held emotions. "I have money just like him, good looks, you name it…but he's nothing but a criminal!” “You're insane Rocco, you need help,” Alana refused to give in, despite how sorry she felt for him. She wouldn't forget that he poisoned a child.“I'm insane because I love You, you're the first woman who makes me feel this way…Alana please give me a chance,” Rocco's voice softened, he was nearly begging her to love him.“I don't love you… I love my husband…”“He's

    At the sight of Ricardo. Rocco lost it as he grabbed Alana by the hair and pointed a gun to her head. Ricardo's eyes widened in horror as he watched Rocco grab Alana by the hair and point a gun to her head. The guests gasped in unison, and their faces pale with fear.“Let her go this instant!” Ricardo growled as he took a step forward. Several guards rushed forward and surrounded him with guns pointing at him. “Let my wife go Rocco!”“Oh, shut up Ricardo…no one wants you here,” Rocco said lazily as he gripped Alana's hair even more tightly. The cold weapon connected to her skull frightened her.“You're courting death!” Ricardo snapped, taking a step forward. His fists clenched at his sides, his eyes blazing with anger. But before he could take another step, many guards rushed forward, surrounding him with guns pointed at him. “Hold it right there, Ricardo,” one of them warned. Rocco sneered, his grip on Alana's hair tightening. “Oh, shut up, Ricardo. No one wants you here.” Rocco re

    Rocco was in the master bedroom humming to a tune as he selected a tuxedo to wear. He couldn't hide his happiness. The room was filled with several boxes, and all were custom-made tuxedos specifically shipped for his wedding. The door creaked open without his realization, and it was Stacey who walked in.“Oh for goodness's sake…. Is this charade even necessary,” Stacey scoffed as she jumped over a box, careful enough not to hurt himself. Rocco heard her, but he was too overjoyed to pay her any attention. “You're really enjoying this, aren't you?” Stacey said with a smirk as she came to stand beside Rocco. He threw her a lazy glance and continued humming to a romantic tune.“Nothing will ruin my day, except a witch, like you,” Rocco retorted mockingly, Stacey rolled her eyes in annoyance and picked up a white tuxedo.“You should thank this witch for coming up with a brilliant idea to separate Alana and Ricardo,” Stacey smirked even more while Rocco's facial expression darkened.“One m

    Alana and Ricardo were stuck in an intense staring contest. Ricardo didn't dare let her go as he kept her in his grip. She seemed unhappy as she fought to keep him off her.“We are married…whatever the problem is, I'm here to solve it,” Ricardo whispered desperately. She just walked out on their marriage without any explanation. “And don't you dare say you feel nothing for me…don't,” he murmured as he leaned forward, their faces an inch from each other. Alana tore her gaze from him, her breath coming in short.“Please, babe, don't do this…” Ricardo cupped her face lovingly and tilted her back until she was facing him. Her eyes were closed shut, and when she opened them. Ricardo saw that cold gaze from the day she gave him the divorce papers.“Let me go!” She made a low yell and managed to get out of his hold. Before he could hold her, Alana pushed him away.“I don't care what you think, but it's over between us…” she slowly walked to the sitting area and leaned on it. “Leave me alone

    Alana stood by the window, her stunning red dress shimmering in the light. The strapless gown hugged her curves, showcasing her bare back and thigh through a daring slit. Her hair was sleekly pinned up, and diamond jewelry sparkled around her neck and ears. As she gazed out at the city lights, the cold breeze whispered across her skin, leaving a trail of goosebumps in its wake. Despite the chill, she exuded warmth and sophistication, a true vision of beauty at night.“Are you ready?” came a deep male voice. She didn't have to turn to know who it was. Her hands tightened on the purse she was holding. “It's our engagement at least smile,” it was Rocco who came into view, Alana was doing everything possible to keep her emotions in check. She glanced at Rocco with a stern gaze.“Rocco, stop this… I did what you asked…give me the rest of the antidote,” Alana said, her voice laced with emotions.

His only child had been lying in that hospital bed unconscious and fighting for his life. The doctor's grim prognosis had shattered Ricardo's world, leaving him feeling utterly helpless.As he rushed down the sterile white hallways, he couldn't shake the feeling that the doctor was keeping something from him. How could Santiago suddenly be awake and eating when just yesterday he was on the brink of death? Ricardo's mind raced with questions, but he pushed them aside as he finally entered Santiago's room.The sight that greeted Ricardo stopped him in his tracks. There, sitting up in bed with a tray of food in front of him, was his son. Santiago looked pale and weak, but there was a spark of life in his eyes that Ricardo hadn't seen in days.

    Ricardo sat beside his son, and he held his son's hand. He watched him connect to various tubes and machines. His heart ached, and his son was always healthy, so what exactly happened to him.“Hey,” someone said from behind, Ricardo regained his senses, realizing there was another person in the room. It wasn't Alana, but Chloe. “He's going to be fine,” Chloe muttered softly as she walked closer to him. Ricardo only nodded and kept his gaze on Santiago.“We can try a different hospital… I have a friend who is a good doctor… I can ask for her help,” Chloe added when Ricardo didn't reply. The room was in utter silence. Chloe knew Ricardo was hurt. He loved Santiago more than anything. “I'll take care of that. You can leave now… I don't want my wife seeing you,” Ricardo said coldly. She knew Alana never liked Chloe. Having her around would make things awkward “Ricardo, I know I did some pretty bad things…trust me, I've changed, and I just want our old friendship back,” Chloe remarked wi
