As the evening wears on, Karina and Lucas find themselves sitting silently in the back of her luxurious car, being driven by her personal chauffeur. A troubled expression lingers on Karina's face as she reminisces about how the day had unfolded. The memory of Lucas being unusually clingy throughout the day, and even abruptly kissing her during the live show, doesn't sit well with her. She sneaks a sideways glance at him, catching him scrolling through his phone before he quickly put it away and flashed her a smile. But she can't bring herself to return the gesture and instead looks away. Lucas noticed and furrowed his brow in response. "Is something bothering you?" he asked. Karina turned to face him, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "Well, earlier, at the Blissful Moments Show, you shouldn't have... kissed me." "Oh," Lucas responded, sitting up straight but still wearing his trademark smile. "What's wrong with couples kissing in public? Don't you agree?" Karina sho

Aidan reluctantly stared at her, pondering an escape from her demand. His office was eerily quiet for a moment until Raymond walked in. Flicking a glance at Raymond, as if provoked, Amira grasped Aidan's face tightly and smashed her lips onto his. Feeling annoyed by her abrupt action, Aidan broke the kiss and pulled away. She gazed at him with pleading eyes, causing him to scowl. "Is that all?" Amira nodded, a smile threatening to form on her lips as she invited him to share in a romantic moment. Reluctantly, Aidan brought his face closer to hers, ready to kiss her before Raymond faked a cough. "You two really shouldn't rub it in," Raymond joked, prompting Aidan to release himself from Amira's grip. He raised a file and informed him, "Aidan, I received the report from HR." Amira began to leave the office but paused in front of Raymond, whose eyes were gleaming with an underlying excitement. "Bad timing," she hissed at him before exiting the room. **** **** **** At the Salvato

Karina rolled her eyes, in disbelief at his words. "Are you jealous?" She blurted, her voice laced with doubt. Aidan smirked. "Would you like to know if I..." She leaned in, her tone edgy. "Absolutely not." Despite her anger, Aidan couldn't help but admire her adorable face. He reached out to tuck a strand of her hair behind her ear, but before he could, a screeching voice interrupted them. "What the hell is going on here?!" Both of them turned to see Amira marching towards them. Amira approached Karina, sneering, "You slut, you were trying to steal my man?" She raised her hand, ready to slap Karina, but Aidan caught her wrist, stopping her. "Remember there are media present, Amira," he warned. Karina clicked her tongue and scolded, "Must you always be so aggressive, Amira?" "Get your disgusting self away from my man!" Amira growled at Karina. "Your man, your man, your man, wow. That sounds like a conviction," Karina taunted. "But let's be honest, darling, if I hadn't gotten

“Aaah!" Karina's cry of pain echoed through the air as she watched the car speed away, leaving her injured. She looked down and caught someone Aidan lying motionless in the middle of the road, blood seeping from his body. Lifting her body up a little by leaning on her elbow, she gasped realizing who it was that had unexpectedly come to her aid. It was Aidan. The flicking moment of being pushed away by him flashed in her mind. Shocked and terrified, she realized it was an attempted murder, and Aidan had rushed in to save her. "Aidan!" she screamed, rushing to his side despite her own agony. "You have to wake up!" Her hands shook as she tried to rouse him, her mind reeling with disbelief and fear. "We need an ambulance, now!" With trembling fingers, she fumbled for her phone in her purse, dialing the emergency number as tears streamed down her cheeks. Within moments, the wail of an ambulance siren pierced the air, and Karina insisted on accompanying Aidan, refusing to leave his side

Cruzita, regaining her composure, declared with intensity, "You have no relation to our family or my son. As his mother, I demand that you leave, you whore."Feeling the tension in the room, the doctor turned to Karina and implored, "You have no connection to him, Ms. Karina. I urge you to comply with the wishes of his family and leave peacefully."However, Karina refused to back down. She glanced at Aidan through the slats of the window blinds, but her hopes were dashed when she saw no movement. With a heavy heart, she made the decision to leave."Let's go, Karina," Lucas said, reaching for her hand. Karina caught Cruzita's disdainful glare and forcefully pulled her hand away from Lucas before exiting the room.Lucas took a step forward and gave Cole a penetrating look before leaving him to ponder their familiarity.Outside the hospital, Lucas caught up with Karina. "Karina, are you alright?""Lucas, I think there's someone behind this who is unfathomable. It could be someone I know
