âYou were busy.â "There has to be a solution. In this day and age, with all the advanced medical technology available, there must be a way to cure you. We must explore every possible option, even if it means utilizing cutting-edge medical equipment or seeking out unconventional treatments." Trey said. Mr. Lynn watched as Trey and Valerie spoke, and he experienced a feeling of contentment; Valerie's carefully crafted scheme was coming together. His desire now was for Trey to never regain his memories, ensuring that Trey would forever perceive Valerie as his beloved childhood sweetheart. This way, his hidden truth would remain concealed, sparing his family from Trey's potential anger. Lucy who wasn't aware of Valerie's scheming plans, and had seen this side of her boss the many times Valerie came to visit the company, wasn't surprised but envious of Valerie. She had feelings towards her boss and couldn't help but feel jealous at how her boss was treating Valerie, she had originally
- Country B - As the clock struck a quarter past 8 in the evening, Luis's car pulled up in front of his house. He leaned back in his seat and waited for his bodyguard, Angelo, to open the door for him. As soon as the car door was opened, Luis sprang out of the vehicle without a word of thanks to Angelo. He had been so preoccupied with his work that he forgot to call his sister, which was a routine he had strictly adhered to in the past. He knew his sister would be upset with him for not calling, and he could already imagine her throwing a tantrum and ignoring him for at least a few days. Luis had always made it a point to inform his sister whenever he was coming back from school or if he would be returning home late, but he had failed to do so today due to his busy schedule. When Luis got to the entrance, he was greeted by the butler who immediately said, "Welcome back, young master." Despite the fact that Luis was a splitting image of his mom, his character and demeanor were just
This chapter contains scenes of violence, sexual content, and torture. Please skip it if it makes you uncomfortable, it does not contain any major plot.***Couldn't keep staring at Martina's piercing eyes anymore, the man, with a smirk on his face, taunted Martina in a condescending tone,"Yes, Miss feisty pants, what are you gonna do? Are you gonna make me talk?" His action brought their faces closer as Martina was bent over him, trying to get him to spill the beans. The man however found the entire forte amusing, to think that they sent a woman over after failing to obtain any information from him. He wondered if they thought that he would be mesmerized by her beauty and tell her everything. Upon hearing his words, Martina smiled and straightened her posture, revealing her dark and alluring voice in a confident manner. "Oh, I will," she replied, locking her gaze with his. "And when I'm done with you, you would beg me to just let you die." Her tone was firm and assertive, leaving no
~ Country A - As Trey walked out of Valerie's hospital room, he couldn't shake off the vivid memory of the pair of brown eyes staring back at him, as he approached Mr. Lynn, âYour daughter needs you now,â Trey said, hoping to mark out Mr. Lynn's reaction, when he referred to Valerie as his daughter. Mr. Lynn, however, was prepared for any attack and responded calmly, âI will, thank you for being there for my niece, I know I haven't been the best uncle to her, so you being there for her means a lot to me.â He was acknowledging that he had not been the best uncle to Lisa. Trey thought as he nodded. Although he attempted to hide his increasing worry, he couldn't help the anticipation laced in his voice when he asked. âHow is your daughter doing? Where is she now?â But his expectations were short-lived when Mr. Lynn smiled and replied. âShe is doing fine, she got married a few years back, I don't know if Valerie mentioned it to you.â âWell, that's a firstâ Trey thought, his
âDon't be, I asked her uncle about her, and for once he didn't lie, he told me sheâs married.â Trey ran his fingers through his hair, causing his perfectly styled locks to become disheveled. His mind wandered back in time, as he recalled a memory from six years ago. ~~~ As Trey slid the ring onto Valerie's finger, she gazed at it with admiration and whispered, "I love you," before planting a tender kiss on his lips. She then got up from his lap and took a seat on the sofa in the office, where she watched Trey work and she continued to admire the ring on her finger. However, her outward display of affection was nothing more than a facade. After about half an hour, Valerie received a phone call that required her immediate attention. She approached Trey, pecked him on the cheek, and made her exit. Trey, engrossed in his work, continued typing on his laptop for another half-hour before realizing that he hadnât been on his phone for almost two hours. As he was scrolling through his
Martina's face contorted into a deep frown as she read the note in her hand. Her eyes flashed with anger as she asked in a steely voice, "Who is the idiot who dared to kidnap my child just three days after he requested my services?" Lucas, her trusted assistant, spoke up quickly. "We're doing everything we can to track down the young master, but the tracking devices we had placed on him seem to have been deactivated. It's proving to be quite a challenge." Martina's mind was racing with worry and frustration. "And what about Angelo? Where is he? And have you informed Antonio about this?" Lucas nodded, "Yes, boss. I've already called Antonio, and he's on his way. As for Angelo, he was knocked out when he was ambushed, but he's woken up now and is also on his way here." Martina's face was contorted with a mix of anger and anxiety as she urgently asked Lucas. "Have you checked up on the people's home? How is my Clara? Were there any situations there?" Lucas replied in a calm and
Trey arrived at the Sunset all-in-one luxurious casino just as the clock struck eight in the evening. One of the legal establishments built by the Collins family. The Sunset all-in-one luxurious casino is an architectural masterpiece that boasts of being the largest casino ever built. It stands tall as a high skyscraper, with over 700 regular rooms and 300 suites. The moment you step into the casino, you are greeted with a spacious club and bar that is perfect for socializing with friends or mingling with strangers. As you make your way through the casino, you'll notice an inside mezzanine floor that offers a breathtaking view of the entire establishment. It's where some of the higher-ups sit to enjoy their drinks and watch people dance on the dance floor. Their gaze, fixated and unwavering, swept through the bustling crowd of women in search of a visage that would catch their eye. Their quest was to find a companion for the night, a beauty with whom they could spend a few fleeting
- Treyâs Villa - Trey woke up feeling groggy and disoriented, his head pounding with a severe hangover from last night's excessive drinking. He dragged himself out of bed and stumbled towards his bathroom, hoping a refreshing shower would help ease his throbbing headache. As he undressed and stepped into the shower, the warm water cascaded down his body, tracing a path over the intricate tattoos etched into his sculpted torso and one of his arms. The water droplets glistened against the colorful ink, highlighting every detail and curve, as Trey closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh of relief. After savoring a soothing shower, Trey stepped out of the bathroom and strode over to his spacious walk-in closet. He pulled open a drawer in his cabinet inside the closet, revealing a neatly organized first aid box. Skimming through it, he deftly retrieved a packet of handover medicine and popped one into his mouth. As he savored the quick relief, he carefully replaced the box and turned
