Lisa decided to leave work early, to go home and check on her patient who still hasn’t regained consciousness. She said goodbye to nurse Susan and went down to the lobby to sign out. After signing out, she went to the parking lot for her car and left the hospital. When she arrived at her apartment’s underground parking lot, she noticed 4 black alligator SUVs. She felt there was something suspicious and strange about it, nonetheless, she put it at the back of her mind and walked towards the lobby. “Good afternoon,” Lisa greeted the elevator attendant the moment she entered the elevator. “Good afternoon Miss Lynn,” He responded as he pressed the floor number, the elevator closed and started to ascend.As the elevator ascended, Lisa noticed the elevator attendant kept stealing glances at her as if he wanted to say something but was hesitant about it, however, since he was not able to tell her whatever it was, she wouldn’t inquire about it. When the elevator arrived on the fifth flo
-/Country A/- Golden heights corporation Meanwhile, in an office on the hundredth floor of Golden Heights Corporation, Trey Collins stares blankly at the vast ocean view through the glass wall of his enormous office. With a fierce look on his face, if there’s one thing that riled him, it’s when things don’t go his way.He turns around to face his three highly skilled efficient bodyguards, who were able to retrieve a needle when dropped into the vast sea, but were standing in front of him, repeating the same bullshit! Baam!! The three men gazed up nervously, then hastily retracted their gaze down, feeling weak in the leg at the sound of a hand slammed on the desk in front of them. “It been 3 weeks, 3 f*cking weeks and you’re fucking telling me you haven’t found her? Why the hell do I pay you when you can't even find a single, frail woman’s whereabouts!? Huh!!” Trey asked sternly, his expression darkened into a venomous glare. “You have a week to find out wherever she’s hiding,
“I want to show you something.” Don Antonio said as he took steady steps towards Lisa, deliberately not to frighten her more than she already was. Considering Lisa’s silence and calmed demeanor as an indication to proceed, he started to unbutton his shirt, as he undid the buttons, his eyes remained fixed on Lisa’s face, ready to stop if there was a slight form of uneasiness from her. Since there wasn’t any, he opened it to show her his bandage chest.“Did you do this?” He asked in a gentle tone.“Oh my God!.. “ Lisa uttered, her eyes widened as her hand flew to her mouth as realization dawned on her, and then she frowned. “It was you, no wonder I thought you looked familiar, you bastard!!” Lisa yelled angrily. Matteo and Timothy who were standing outside the door heard Lisa calling the boss a bastard, they started to feel pity for her, for offending the boss, now there was no way she could escape the boss’s wrath.“You pointed a gun at a person who saved your life!? I knew I should
“Is she alright?” Don Antonio asked Susan who just walked out of Lisa’s room.“Yeah.., she has fallen asleep,” Susan muttered. She approached the sofa to sit but became hesitant, she heard that Don has a disorder, he doesn’t like women around him, not to mention touch him, and it got her wondering how he was able to carry Lisa earlier. She remained standing in front of the sofa, as she fidgeted with her fingers. Antonio who was replying to a message on his phone, realized the space beside him was empty, then looked up at the woman who was standing still, with an expression he couldn’t decipher. ‘Why is she standing,’ he thought Susan was approaching to sit, but it had been a few minutes now, but he didn’t feel the sofa dip, and since he was busy with his phone, he just remembered she wasn’t seated beside him. He looked up at Susan.“Are you going to stand there?” He questioned.“I… um, umm you’re sick.” She replied, staring down at her feet, still playing with her fingers. “I’m sic

Please skip it if it makes you uncomfortable, it does not contain any major plot.***The moment Don Antonio sat in the back of his car at Lisa’s apartment underground parking lot, all traces of the man from earlier disappeared, being replaced with a stern, fierce-looking man.“Go to the base.” The intensity of his voice causes the temperature inside the car to drop abruptly. Matteo who was seated at the passenger’s seat shivered. As his boss’s personal bodyguard, he has noticed the change in his boss’s aura.“Yes, boss.” Marco, his driver, replied.About an hour later, the line of cars stopped in front of a high-end Club Casino Hotel in the central part of country B. Matteo got down and immediately opened the door for his boss. Don Antonio walked with long strides into the building followed by a few of his men, whilst the others remained guard at the entrance with the many bodyguards who were already stationed. H
Back in Lisa’s apartment, Susan after checking up on Lisa in her bedroom, decided to prepare some food and tidy up the kitchen and living room to beat time, since she had nothing to do but to sit idly around feeling bored.After about an hour and a half time, Susan was done with cleaning, she proceed to the kitchen to begin cooking, she started by chopping the vegetables, then blended some onions, garlic, ginger, and tomatoes, then placed the saucepan on the stove, and poured some oil, just when she was about to add the blended onions, garlic, and ginger, the doorbell began to ring, she turned the knob on the stove off, but since she was in a hurry, she turned the knob downwards instead. She went to the door to check who it was.“Hello, how may I help you?” Susan asked the delivery man standing outside the door holding a bouquet of white lilies.“Is this Miss Lynn’s apartment?” The delivery guy asked and Susan nodded.“Okay, I was asked to deliver this bouquet here, please sign here.”
When Don Antonio stepped out of the elevator on the fourth floor, he saw his consigliere already seated inside his office, he smirked.“Welcome back,” his consigliere said, spreading out his arms wide to welcome Antonio with a hug. They embraced each other as Lucas said, “I thought we’d lost you, man.” He patted Antonio on the back as they broke the hug, Antonio walked to the other side of the desk taking a seat on his black high-back swivel chair.“I have to meet this woman who saved your life. We're in debt to her. I really can’t explain how delighted I was when you called me to send some men over and a change of clothes. I wanted to come personally, but we had a situation in the cells,” Lucas said. Don Antonio leaned back against his seat, looking as if he was deep in thought. “Were they Fausto’s men?” Antonio asked. “They’ve refused to speak,” Lucas said, taking a deep breath, Antonio nodded.“What about the information I asked you to get,” Lucas nodded, taking a seat on the cha
“Hello?”“Lisa…, my love,” she froze. ‘How is it possible? Huh-huh, no! There’s no way he'll call her.’ Lisa doubted it.“Trey…?” She muttered dejectedly. But instead of hearing a response from him, what she heard was the clearing of a throat, after a while the response finally came.“Miss Lynn, hi, it’s me, Don Antonio Aguilla,” he said, “ how are you doing?”“Don Antonio…?” Lisa asked perplexed, she could certify she heard Trey’s voice earlier.“Yes, Mellisa? Were you expecting someone else?” Don Antonio asked, but the tone of his voice didn’t sit well with Lisa, it was as if he was aware of what he was doing. Lisa thought.“No, Umm… I was just wondering how you got my contact,” Lisa said, trying to get rid of any thoughts regarding Trey, she was starting to overthink things again. “I have my ways,” Don Antonio answered teasingly, making Lisa roll her eyes, as she imagined the kind of expression he must have on his face. ‘That arrogant bastard, so full of himself, who points a gu
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 fiancée, 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.” 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 months’ 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.

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.“Antonio?” Trey said upon opening the door and was greeted by
