And what I discovered... it was painful to hear."James's voice turned cautious, his heart pounding in anxiety and fear. "Maya, what did Dora tell you?"Maya's gaze dropped to the ground, her voice barely above a whisper. "She told me about your past, James. She told me about the things you did, the decision you took. And... it made me question everything."A wave of guilt washed over James as he realized the impact his past had on Maya. He reached out, gently touching her arm. "Maya, I'm so sorry. I never wanted to hurt you. I never wanted my past to come between us."Maya looke
The evening arrived, and Maya found herself standing outside the grand entrance of the Billionaires Mansion, accompanied by Lily. The weight of her decision hung heavy in the air, and she couldn't help but feel a mix of nervousness and determination. "Are you sure about this, Maya?" Lily asked, her voice filled with concern.

I need to face them, have an honest conversation, and make a decision." Lily nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. "I'm here for you, Maya. We'll navigate this together."

The soft light of dawn began to filter into the hospital room, casting a gentle glow over the space. Maya stirred from her deep sleep, her body feeling heavy with exhaustion. As she slowly awakened, her eyes remained closed, instinctively searching for James's presence beside her. However, her hands only met an empty bed.

To lighten the mood, Tony decided to make a joke about their first encounter when Maya called him the head of security. They both laughed, and the tension between them seemed to ease.
