βDon't be, I asked her uncle about her, and for once he didn't lie, he told me sheβs married.β 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 hadnβt 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
- Treyβs 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
Trey's face contorted with conflicting emotions as he struggled to process what the boy had just said. He felt a glimmer of happiness at the child's words, but at the same time, he couldn't shake off the nagging worry that the young boy was away from his family. Despite the inner turmoil, Trey managed to put on a smile and reply to the child. He smiled and said, "Thank you?"βYou're welcome, are you married?β Luis asked, which earned another laugh from Mrs Cooper. She was delighted to see the child interacting with Trey, her heart was filled with joy and delight. The house had been silent and dull since Lisa's departure, but the child had brought vibrant colors and liveliness to the villa. Trey replied with a "Yes, I am,""That's bad," Luis said and asked him a rather odd question. "Is your wife pretty? If not, you can marry my mommy. She is the prettiest woman on earth." Though it was an unusual request, Trey couldn't help but smile widely in response - it was the first time he had
As Martina walks through the lobby of the hotel, her long and graceful stride commands attention. The clicking sound of her white with black polka dots high heels echoes throughout the open space, catching the ears of the receptionist, other employees, and guests who have gathered in the hotel's restaurant at the far end of the lobby. The sound of her footsteps creates a sense of anticipation and intrigue, drawing the eyes of onlookers to her confident and poised presence. Martina walked up to the front desk of the luxurious hotel with a charming smile on her face. She politely informed the receptionist, "I have a room reserved here under the name of Miss Castillo." The receptionist's eyes widened at the mention of the reservation. She was clearly surprised and somewhat flustered as she stammered,"Th..th..the penthouse suite was reserved by you?" Lucas stepped forward to handle the situation. He spoke in a calm and professional tone, "Miss, please be professional and assist us in
- Leisureq Hotel - At the hotel, Fausto was seated at the restaurant, his face facing the lobby, he was watching for any sign of Martina, so he could approach her. ~~~ After sleeping for almost 5 hours from jet lag, Martina emerged from her luxurious bedroom, the grandeur of the penthouse seemingly amplified by the stark contrast of her mood. Her mind was heavy with the weight of her son's recent abduction, and she was keen on stepping out to shake off the oppressive feeling. She dressed herself in a cream-sling satin blouse that draped elegantly over her shoulders, paired with loose blue jeans trousers that had rips at the front. Her hair was tied up in a messy bun, with loose locks framing her face, giving her a relaxed yet sophisticated look. She adorned herself with a golden necklace that gracefully rested on her chest, a matching bracelet and earrings, and black heels that accentuated her long legs. βIs Clara still asleep?β Martina asked the nanny seated in the living room,
As Martina sat at her table, sipping her wine and enjoying the noisy but calming atmosphere, a female server approached her with a glass of a pink-looking drink. The server, with a smile on her face, said, βThis is for you madam,β and extended the glass towards Martina.Martina looked at the drink with a questioning gaze, wondering who could have sent her a drink. The server, noticing her expression, quickly added, βThe man over there asked me to bring it to you.βMartina felt a mix of curiosity and apprehension as she looked toward the direction the server had pointed. However, she politely declined the drink, saying, βOh, tell him I say thanks but I can't have it.β Before the server could leave, Martina asked her where the washroom was. The server, with a warm smile, replied, βStraight down on your left.β Martina nodded and then said, βCan you stay and watch my stuff?β to which the server replied, βYes ma'am.β Martina smiled, feeling relieved that her belongings would be safe,
Clara and Michelle, dressed in matching glistening white gowns with a bow adorning the back, gracefully made their way down the aisle. They clutched a wooden basket embellished with a delicate white ribbon, brimming with white rose petals that they gently scattered along the path. Following close behind them was Luis, dashing in his white elegant suit, holding a cushion bearing the wedding rings. Antonio and Susan, exquisitely dressed in their white outfits, walked arm in arm, radiating elegance. Mrs. Cooper joined the procession, cradling two weeks-old baby Miguel, as well as Diego and his fiancΓ©e, Lucy, Trey's secretary, both resplendent in radiant white outfits. Then Mr. and Mrs. Collins, followed by the old Master Collins and Mrs. Lynn, their hands linked in a display of endearing unity creating an aura of elegance and refinement. As everyone took their seats, the air of anticipation filled the room. The moment finally arrived as the bride, escorted by her uncle, made her g
"Susan, oh, I'm very sorry, you had to give birth to your son prematurely because of me, I'm sorry.β Lisa said as she sat in a wheelchair in front of Susan's hospital bed."Hey, hey, as you can see I'm fine. Thankfully, my son was not at risk, so he will be in the incubator for just a day. It wasn't your fault; you are also a victim like me," Susan explained with a smile."Thank you. Is the pain bearable?" Lisa asked,"Yes, it almost feels like my old self," Susan replied,"I'm glad. I was hoping to attend your baby shower, though." Lisa said and Susan responded with humor, "It's fine. To be frank with you, I was getting bored of the nine monthsβ journey," Susan said, and they both laughed."I'm glad I met you, Susan. You became the closest figure to a sister I never had." Lisa expressed her gratitude,"Same here, Lisa I'm very glad I met you," Susan replied. After spending a few minutes talking about unimportant but happy topics, the doctor accompanied by two nurses came and helped

Valerie's voice trembled as she spoke up, noticing the deadly aura emanating from Trey as he glared down at her with undisguised disgust. "Trey, please, I was forced into doing this," she pleaded, but Trey's expression remained cold and unyielding as he replied, "Don't worry, no one will be able to force you into doing anything anymore." With those words, he pointed the muzzle of the gun at Valerie's forehead. As he was about to pull the trigger, Valerie interrupted frantically, "No! Trey, please, I'm pregnant with his child. He will come after you if you kill me! He is listening to us as we speak." Trey's fierce resolve was unshaken as he smirked and he replied, "I won't fall for your fucking tricks again, t

"Diego, the madam has been taken," Brad's panicked voice came through the earpiece. He was trembling, the weight of responsibility heavy on his shoulders. How could he have allowed her to ride in a different car? If anything happens to the madam, the boss will kill him for sure. He couldn't believe that once again, he found himself in a dire situation. "What?!" Diego exclaimed, earning curious stares from everyone in the church. As he looked up from his seat, he was met with Trey's penetrating questioning gaze. He quickly pressed a button on his earpiece and relayed the message, "Boss, the madam has been taken." Without hesitation, Trey got off the altar and dashed out of the church with lightning speed. "What's go

He keyed the mic discreetly nestled in his ear and asked in a low, commanding voice, "All set?" And in a perfect unison, his men responded, "Yes boss." "Good. Report any suspicious activities directly t
The past six months have been filled with ups and downs, but their love and determination have seen them through every challenge and hardship. Additionally, Luis and Clara celebrated their five-year birthday, which Trey commemorated with a lavish party, introducing them to the corporate world. As a result, Luis's name was changed to Ryan Luis Collins and he was named as Trey's successor, Clara became Clarissa Collins, and they both took on new roles under Trey's wing. Lisa is two months into her pregnancy, she is still experiencing unusual cravings, morning sickness, strange needs, and other symptoms, though her stomach has yet to show any signs of her pregnancy. However, Trey remains unfazed by it all. He is overjoyed and is grateful for the opportunity to support his pregnant wife and experience this journey alongside her.Which brings us to the present day. Lisa sat gracefully in front of her exquisitely adorned elegant vanity in her dressing room, encircled by a team of skilled
After a long intense and passionate kiss, Trey and Lisa gently parted, both trying to catch their breath. Lisa leaned her forehead against Trey's chest as they sat there, the warmth of their embrace lingering in the air. "Jade, I had planned to propose to you tonight. I wanted to make things right. I want you to be legally mine," Trey confessed, his voice filled with emotion. Lisa looked at him, a quizzical expression on her face. "But you said you didn't sign the divorce papers," she said, her brow furrowed with confusion. "I didn't, but I found out I married someone who does not exist," Trey explained. Lisa looked at him, utterly perplexed by his words, and said, "I don't understand." "I'll explain everything, but I need you to trust me," Trey said softly, his gaze unwavering. He smiled, then stood up and offered his hand to her. As she took it, he helped her to her feet then placed a soft kiss on her forehead, took both of her hands in his, and his eyes locked with hers
Upon their arrival at the hotel, Diego ushered them into the elevator and they ascended to the penthouse. The elevator doors parted with a cheerful ding, and they proceeded down the extended corridor toward their destination. Lisa could feel her heart pounding with anticipation, knowing that Trey was planning to propose to her that evening. Despite being aware of the surprise, the excitement of the impending moment filled her with joy. Earlier, when Trey had called and asked her to get ready for the surprise he had in store for her, she couldn't contain her happiness. Upon reaching the door, one of the four vigilant bodyguards stationed there opened it for them.As Lisa entered the room, her eyes lit up at the sight of Mr. Collins, Mrs. Rosa, nanny Rose, and her husband, the one she had operated on before coming to country A. She had totally forgotten to even check on him. However, her smile quickly faded when she spotted her uncle, causing her expression to twist into a frown."Unc
Three days later, after Trey lovingly assisted Lisa with her breakfast and ensured she took her medication, he lay next to her and tenderly held her in his arms until she drifted off to sleep. After making sure she was comfortable, he quietly got out of bed and made his way to the closet to get ready for work. He emerged from the walk-in closet dressed in a meticulously pressed three-piece dark blue suit.The attire highlighted his muscular biceps and broad chest, with his hair neatly tied up. He reached for his luxurious gold Rolex watch, removing it from its case and diligently fastening it around his wrist to complete his polished look. Just as he finished, there was a sudden knock on the door. Interrupting the quiet atmosphere.Knock! Knock!Not wanting to disturb Lias's peaceful slumber, he reached for his two phones resting on the nightstand and quietly left the room after placing a tender kiss on Lisa's forehead.βAntonio?β Trey said upon opening the door and was greeted by
