Selena The next day, I arrived at the office early, determined to focus on work and push aside the emotional turmoil from the previous day. However, as soon as I stepped into my office, I was greeted by an unwelcome sight—Angel sitting at my desk."What are you doing here?" I snapped, my irritation evident in my voice. "I thought I made it clear that we're done discussing anything beyond business."Angel looked up, surprise evident in his eyes, but he quickly composed himself. "Selena, please, hear me out," he pleaded. "I wanted to discuss the plans for the new hotel construction. It's a big project, and I believe we can make it successful if we work together."I crossed my arms, skepticism written across my face. "Fine," I grumbled reluctantly. "But make it quick. I have other things to attend to."As we delved into the conversation about the hotel project, I couldn't help but notice Angel's gaze wandering. At one point, he interrupted himself and said, "You know, Selena, despite ev

Selena Today was a rare day off from work, and both Channel and I were eager to make the most of it. We had decided to go out for a movie, and Channel had suggested inviting Delvin to join us once again.

Ready for some cinematic magic?" he exclaimed, his excitement palpable.Channel chuckled. "Absolutely, Delvin! We're counting on you to keep us entertained throughout the movie."Delvin dramatically placed a hand on his chest. "Consider it done! I'll make sure you have a blast from the opening scene to the closing credits."With that, we entered the theater, popcorn in hand, and found our seats. The lights dimmed, and the screen came to life, transporting us to a world of imagination and storytelling.Throughout the movie, Delvin lived up to his promise of keeping us entertained. He whisper

Angel The moment Heaven walked through the door, I felt a surge of anger and concern rush through me. She was just nine years old, and the thought of her going out without my permission made my blood boil. I couldn't help but scold her, my voice filled with a mix of frustration and worry."Heaven, where have you been? I explicitly told you not to leave the house without my permission!" I exclaimed, my tone stern and commanding.Heaven looked down, her eyes filled with a mixture of fear and defiance. "I'm sorry, Dad," she murmured, her voice barely audible.My frustration grew, and I pressed further, needing answers. "Who brought you home? How did you get here?" I demanded, trying to understand what had transpired.Heaven hesitated, then softly replied, "A woman brought me home. She knew the way effortlessly."Confusion swirled within me, accompanied by a tinge of fear. Who was this mysterious woman who seemed to know my daughter's way back home? My protective instincts kicked in, and

Concern etched across her face as she approached me, her voice filled with empathy. "Selena, what happened? Why are you so upset?"I took a deep breath, gathering my thoughts, before meeting Channel's gaze. "Channel, there's something important I need to tell you. Something that I've kept hidden for too long," I began, my voice quivering with emotion.She sat down next to me, her eyes filled with compassion. "You can tell me anything, Selena. I'm here for you."I reached out and took her hand, seeking comfort in her presence. "You remember Heaven, the girl we saw at the theater?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Channel nodded, her eyes widening in surprise. "Yes, I remember her.

Selena The next day, I was sitting in my office, still processing the events of the previous day, when there was a knock on the door. I looked up and saw Angel standing there, looking hesitant but determined. My heart sank a little, as I really wasn't in the mood to deal with him at the moment."Selena, can we talk?" he asked, his voice tinged with both regret and hope.I sighed and replied, "Angel, I don't think there's anything left to say between us. We've both moved on, and it's best to leave the past in the past."Before Angel could respond, the door opened, and Kai walked into my office, surprising both of us. My eyes widened with shock, but beneath that, there was an underlying sense of excitement to see him again."Kai!" I exclaimed, unable to hide my joy. "I can't believe you're here! You didn't even tell me you were coming."He grinned and pulled me into a tight hug, making me forget about Angel's presence for a moment. "I missed you so much, Selena. I couldn't wait to see

My encounter with Kai, seeing him kiss Selena, only fueled the fire within me.As I navigated the halls of the office building, lost in my thoughts, I unexpectedly bumped into Selena's friend, Channel. She seemed visibly nervous in my presence, and I decided to put on a friendly facade, attempting to mask my agitation."Hey, Channel, right?" I greeted her, trying to keep my tone cordial.Channel nodded, her eyes wary but determined. "Yes, that's me. You're Angel, Selena's partner, right?"I smirked, sensing that she already knew more than she let on. "Yes, you got it. So, how long have you known Selena?"Channel hesitated for a moment before answering. "We've been friends for a while now. She's a wonderful person, and I care about her deeply.""Well, that's good to hear," I replied, trying to keep my cool de

SelenaI came to the office late today, my mind preoccupied with thoughts of Angel. It was unusual for him not to show up for something important. We had a meeting scheduled, but he was nowhere to be found. A part of me was relieved, as I didn't particularly enjoy spending time with him after our recent encounter. But despite my efforts to move on, my thoughts kept drifting back to him.Unable to resist the nagging curiosity, I made my way to Angel's office. His personal assistant, Lisa, was at her desk, typing away on her computer. I approached her with a polite smile."Hey, Lisa. Have you seen Angel today? We had a meeting scheduled, but he never showed up," I inquired, trying to sound casual.Lisa glanced up, surprise evident in her eyes. "Oh, Selena! No, Angel isn't here today. He called earlier to let us know his daughter, Heaven, is sick."My heart skipped a beat at the mention of Heaven.

Chase's POV:I woke up to find Heaven in the kitchen, her expression a mix of exhaustion and something else. Something I couldn't quite put my finger on."Rough night?" I asked, trying to sound casual.She shrugged. "Just the usual chaos. Nothing I can't handle."I leaned against the kitchen counter. "You know, Heaven, you don't have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. Sometimes it's okay to let someone else share the burden."She shot me a skeptical look. "And who would that someone be? You?"I smirked. "Hey, I'm not as bad as you make me out to be. Besides, you might be surprised at how good I am at lightening the mood."She raised an eyebrow. "Lightening the mood, or causing more chaos?"I chuckled. "A bit of both, perhaps. But seriously, Heaven, you don't have to be so guarded all the time. We're in this together, right?"She sighed. "In this together, until the next betrayal or twist of fate. That's how it goes, Chase."I decided to change the subject, opting for
