ANTONIO'S POVElizabeth and I jumped out of the car and ran straight into the hospital building. We didn't meet anyone at the reception, so we passed through the elevator and headed for the Intensive Care Unit, where Isabel was transferred."Where's Dr. Torres?" I asked, aggressively grabbing the hands of a nurse I had met on the way. She seemed to be heading somewhere.The nurse flinched with fear etched on her face, but I couldn't care less. The image of my wife was the only thing clouding my memory at that moment."Calm down, Mr. Goméz," the nurse said, trying to release her hands from my grasp."I want to see my wife," I yelled in frustration. I was called and told to come here urgently. Where's the doctor?""He's with your wife right now," She replied, shuddering.I released her hands and walked briskly to the ICU unit. We arrived in front of the room and saw a shocking scene through the glass protecting the room from outsiders.Dr. Torres and a team of medical staff surrounded I

Adrian's POVI slowly opened my eyes to the harsh lights of my office, exhaustion clinging to me. My head was throbbing, and my body was stiff. I gently adjusted my seat, displeased that I had fallen asleep.It was then that I noticed the jacket draped over my body. My seat had also been made to lean backward. I had no memories of carrying out those actions before falling asleep, so I chose to ignore them.My gaze darted round the room, from Joyce's empty spot to the table clock in front of me.It was already 9 pm. There was definitely nobody left in the building.Groggy, I stood up from my chair and grabbed my jacket, ensuring I regained consciousness well enough.I passed through the elevator and got out of the building. James, my personal chauffeur, was already waiting patiently for me while leaning on the car."Good evening, boss," He greeted with a bow, his hands covered in gloves placed on his chest. "Are we heading to the penthouse?""Yes," I nodded in affirmation. He opened th

Adrian's POVI drummed my fingers on the table, checking my wristwatch occasionally. Joyce had yet to return since she left to get my coffee.Had she found a new recipe, or was she caught up with something?I couldn't tell.At that moment, I decided to leave to look for her if she wasn't back in two minutes. It was 9:25 a.m. already, and we had yet to go for the meeting.The door was suddenly flung open, and Joyce appeared with a tray in her arms, looking agitated.I frowned. "What took you so long?""I'm sorry, sir. Mr. Daniel stopped me to invite me to the celebratory party on Friday. He said I had to come in your place," She replied, breathing heavily.She had been running."It's fine. You're granted permission to attend, but first, we must deal with this meeting," I stated, standing up hurriedly from my seat. I approached her, grabbed the coffee from the tray, and sipped. It was quite better than the last one I had."Get every material needed for the meeting. We're leaving now," I

Natalia's POVAs I drove down the highway, an amusing picture of Gabriel's silly facial expression when I had stated my conditions suddenly popped into my head. I couldn't help but chuckle, feeling a warmth spread across my face.At least I was starting to get what I wanted. Gabriel was under my close watch, which meant he wasn't going to plan anything stupid behind my back.The only thing left was to find Joyce. Madrileno was giving me a hard time, and I had not called or spoken to him since my argument with his sister. Going back there would be dangerous, but I was going to try.But first, I needed to waste the money I had forcefully taken from Gabriel. I had the intention of emptying a whole clothing store for myself.I drove into the gate of my favorite clothing store. They always had what I wanted.I ignored the security man's greeting and strutted into the building to be startled by a clerk, whom I recognized immediately."Welcome, Mrs. Moreno. It's so lovely to see you again. Wh

Natalia's POVLigia must have noticed the little interaction between Luis and me. Her frown said it all."Er... Luis," she called cutely, prying our hands apart. We still have a lot of guests to attend to. Let's all discuss this after the party.""Alright, babe," Luis replied, pulling Ligia by the waist, capturing her lips with his, and kissing her roughly."Get a room, you two," I snorted, disgusted by the sight. They looked like two shameless slobbering teenagers. The man really had no shame in doing that in public. Even the guests who saw them were taken aback."Bye, Nat, " Rose waved, winking at me.A waiter passed before me with a glass of champagne on a tray. I quickly grabbed one and walked to one of the tables. I spotted a few familiar people and approached them."Hi, Antonia," I greeted the lady with the blonde hair. She didn't seem pleased to see me, but she smiled regardless."Hello, Natalia. We haven't seen each other in a while," she stated, an underlying meaning in her
