just another way to discreetly flaunt who's pocket is bigger than the other on ridiculous set of products.

Once the bidding is over, Ryan looks the most happy at the happy. Most of his bruises are mostly gone on

the outside, only that I know the bruise on his ego is still very much intact.

I sit there and watch them all converse and let out fake laughter's, I don't indulge any conversation, I

Ryan goes on to do lots of things that prick at my chest and spike my irritation up a notch but I ignore it

    Max's POV When I peel my eyes open, the blinding brightness of the room forces my eyelids back shut. Pain, every part of me is in pain. The beeping monitor in the room forces the doctors into the room as the crowd me and suffocate me. It makes me panic even more. ‘what’s happening?’ I think to myself trying hard to remember what happened. I try to trace my memory back in the midst of all the silence, last I remember I was rushing to work after a late night with Ana but then that's all I remember. “He's going into shock.” I distinctly hear one of the doctors yell and after a long while I hear one of the doctors sigh. “He's stable now, get his parents, he'll be awake any moment from now.” The doctor says and I try to force myself to tell him I'm already awake but to no avail.

    I shake my head in denial. Ana would never do something like that. She loves me, she must have wantedto see me so bad.“Maxwell hun, calm down please.” Scarlett says in panic beside me. “Ana, Ana she has changed so much,she told the media that you and her have nothing together.” Scarlett tells me pulling out her phone to showme something.There the love of my life is on Tv standing beside Ryan as they both smile lovingly at each other.“I'm so sorry son.” My father tells me, his hand on my shoulders.I refuse to believe them at any cost, I must speak to Ana myself. I force myself to say again.“Call Ana.” I croak again weakly pretty sure that the veins in my face and neck were protruding with howmuch effort it took me to speak.“Ana's no picking up, actually the her husband's family has this celebratory dinner to congratulate themfor coming back together so Ana might not be able to return my calls until after.” Bianca tells me sadlyand I wish I could throw something at the wall

    Ana’s POV“You are going to speak to Maxwell.” Bianca harshly tells me on the line.“Why would I need to do that?” I ask her, my heart beating harshly.“Because I asked you to Anastasia, screw this up one more time and you know exactly what will happen.”Bianca threatens.Before I was very scared of Bianca's threats then I had gotten over it, putting it off because she was mymother, she only needed to control me to quench her insatiable desire of things always going the exactway she navigated it to go but now, knowing exactly what I think I know. I don't even clearly rememberwhat I heard or maybe in reality I really just want to remain in denial but Bianca is a lot of all thingsnegative so I cannot take her threats for granted anymore knowing that the woman who raised me, thewoman who I thought to be and considered a mother was not really, and she has been using me the entiretime.“Alright.” I simply say and the call goes off.“What is it?” Ryan who is sitting in front of me on

    "That's good," I mutter tiredly. Seeing everything fall apart was all I wanted for so long, but now that it's actually happening, I find myself less interested than I expected.Jersey, standing across from me, studies my face carefully. "I think a warrant should be going out for both your mother and stepfather any moment now," she says quietly, her voice carrying a seriousness that matches the situation. "This is big, Ana. Are you okay?"I shrug, unsure how to answer. The truth is, I don't know what I’m feeling anymore. "Yeah, I guess," I say after a moment, trying to convince myself as much as her.Jersey doesn't seem to buy it. She watches me with concern, her brow furrowed. “You sure? It’s okay if you’re not, you know. This is... it’s a lot.”"Yeah," I repeat, softer this time. “I’m fine.”There’s a pause, thick and uncomfortable. Jersey looks like she wants to say something more, but instead, she rubs the back of her neck awkwardly. "I'm going to bed," she announces, and I know sh

    “I would love to come along with you Ana, I don't think I've told you this before but I love to explore, I'vealways wanted to leave the country, relocate somewhere else, besides it's not like I have anything backhere or a family I'll miss. My job is the only thing I have and my job lies with you.” Jersey says chucklingand I let out a sad chuckles of my own.“But what about the business?” Jersey asks and I shrug in answer.“I have no idea but each step at a time, if I do decide to leave, we'll figure it out, together.” I say holdingJersey's hand closely to mine. I cannot possibly explain the relieve and joy that came at her answer, I feltwarm all over. I just needed Beatrice to also agree to come with me, I was not sure I was comfortable withleaving her behind with Ryan. She had motherly affection for Ryan so I would respect whatever decisionshe would make.Another thought immediately crosses my mind and I turn to Jersey with a mischievous smile on my face.“You know, I was also

    Another thought immediately crosses my mind, and I can’t help the mischievous smile that spreads across my face. Jersey notices, raising an eyebrow slightly as I turn toward her. "You know," I begin, "I've been thinking." My voice has a playful lilt to it, though what I’m about to say is anything but a joke. "You’re really good at what you do in the jewelry business. Like, really good. You’ve been doing this longer than I have, and you know more about the inner workings than I ever could."Jersey's expression remains calm, though I can tell she’s wondering where this conversation is heading. She nods, a quiet acknowledgment of the compliment, but it’s clear she’s holding back a response, waiting for me to get to the point."You've taken care of the store long before I ever set foot in it," I continue, "and on top of that, you’ve always been the one looking out for everyone. You care so much about this place and the people in it." I pause, letting the words settle for a moment. “With
