Bruno turned his body, letting out a groan. He held his head, as he felt dizzy.He tried to sit up straight but ended up hitting his head on the headrest of the bed."Argh," he groaned, trying to keep his eyes open, but his vision was blurry.“You alright there, Bruno?” Black asked, swirling his own drink casually in his hand. Bruno blinked hard, trying to focus. “I’m fine,” he muttered, although the words came out very slow.He dragged a chair closer and took a seat, leaning back. One of his men brought in a tray, and he picked up a big stick of cocaine and took a drag.Black chuckled, leaning forward and taking a sip. “Good, good. You have been working too hard, my friend. A little relaxation never hurt anyone, and I suppose you are already feeling the satisfaction.”Bruno nodded, even though he did not understand what Black was talking about. The room felt warmer and thicker, making him feel like he was suffocating. He loosened his tie and unbuttoned the first button of the shir

Travis and Alison stood across from each other. There was silence in the room, and Alison's heart was beating fast as she thought of what he wanted to talk to her about.“Alison,” he began, and she answered, looking at him.“You have been pushing yourself too hard. I have seen the hours you have put into this case. The late work hours, the skipped meals... it is not healthy for a woman like you.”Alison folded her arms across her chest. How did he know she skipped meals and worked late?Was he stalking her?She asked, "How do you know I work late and skip meals?"He shrugged as if the questions were not necessary. He replied, "The security said you are always the last person to leave the building. And of course, your office is close to mine, and I am certain that you don't leave the office during lunchtime, nor does anyone bring in your lunch." She nodded, and said, “Is this your way of telling me I’m not good enough, Travis? Because if it is, you might as well save your breath than

“So... it really was your mother,” she said lowly, as if she was finding it difficult to believe that it was really his mother who was the mastermind of all of this.Travis nodded, his jaw clenched. “It all makes sense now. The letters, the trip..everything that happened between us, she was behind it.”Alison exhaled deeply, her fingers running through her hair. “I just... I don’t understand why she hated me so much. I was never disrespectful to her, Travis. I didn’t even get the chance to prove myself to her.”“It was not about you, Alison,” Travis replied, trying to keep his cool. “It was about my mother. My mother has always believed she knows what is best for me. And in her eyes, you didn’t fit the image she had for my future. I guess that was the reason she did this. Only that, I did not think she would go this far.”Alison shook her head. “So, was she right to break us apart without our knowledge? Manipulating us to thinking we were both at fault."“No, it wasn't,” Travis said,

Travis was mad at his mother for what she did. He could not get it off his mind that his mother had ruined his relationship with Alison. For years, he thought Alison left him. He lived with the fact that Alison dumped him, and even though he had vowed to forget about her, he just couldn't. Not after seeing her that day. The car came to a halt. He stepped on the pedal with full force that, sent him moving forward. He was not at peace. He had not vented enough. He needed to let his mother know that what she did had really hurt him. It felt like he had not said enough. He turned the car around, heading back to the mansion. As he arrived, he stormed into the house.The first person he sighted was his mother. She looked at him, a bit surprised that he came back.She had thought, initially, that he was back to his senses and finally remembered that they had dinner, but then, her assumptions were wrong.She said, "Travis dear. Have you finally come back to your senses? Do you now rememb

Travis stared at his desk. Reports, charts, and files were neatly arranged in front of him, but his focus was not steady.The image of Delaney..her confession, her voice, her betrayal haunted him for days, but now, it felt like he was already getting over her. He had buried himself in work, determined to prove to himself, and everyone else, that he was more than his setbacks and mistakes.He was ready to prove to his mother and even to Delaney that he could be successful.“Mr. Rodrigo,” his assistant’s voice broke his thoughts, “the quarterly report meeting is about to start.”“I will be there, soon,” Travis replied, his tone calm.The meeting started off with a different atmosphere, but after Travis made his presentation, they all nodded in approval. Their faces were full of smiles, as they applauded him. His recent strategies had led to an unexpected rise in stock prices, causing his name to be on everyone's lips.As the meeting ended, one of the senior executives approached him.
