The following morning, Annalia was the first one awake, and she started the day off right by preparing Adam's breakfast. He had not yet stirred from his restful slumber. The fact that Adam was able to sleep despite his situation frightened and surprised Annalia. She was concerned that he might not be able to get a good night's sleep due to the circumstances, but the young man gave her the impression that he was accustomed to them. According to what Annalia overheard yesterday, Marcel does this to Adam rather frequently, and Adam, for some reason that she does not truly grasp, only puts up with what Marcel does to him. After preparing the food and placing it on the tray, Annalia proceeded to her room to deliver the food to Adam. Perhaps he is awake at this point. When she opened the door, she noticed Adam watching the scene outside while standing at the floor window. Since nothing was covering him, Annalia was able to see the wounds and blood on his back quite vividly. "Hey," Annalia
"Are you sure it's time for you to go home?" Annalia asked with some trepidation. Despite having witnessed Adam in his current state, Annalia continues to harbor concerns regarding the potential scenarios that can happen worse for his condition. What happens if the young man's wound doesn't get better? Annalia could not help but feel a strong sense of uneasiness. "It's okay." Adam's only response to her concern. It appears that he is still putting himself some distance from Anna at this point. Anna formed this perception because, despite her best efforts to seem as if nothing had transpired between them, Adam continued to treat her in a manner that was diametrically opposed to how she was behaving toward him. Annalia had no intention of paying attention to it, but she couldn't help but do so simply because she was distracted. Annalia wants to tell the young man that Marcel might find him, or that Marcel might already be at Adam's house, waiting for him, and that Marcel might do some
After a long and exhausting day, Annalia finally makes it back to her penthouse. After she had left Adam's home, she decided to return to her own mansion, where she and Adam had stayed the night before. She still had some belongings there. Now, she has returned to the city. After noticing the group of bodyguards approaching her, Annalia quickly exits the vehicle and walks toward them. They all greeted her, and one of them started driving the car to ensure that it was placed in the appropriate space in the parking lot. As soon as Annalia walked into the building, she raised her eyebrows when she saw a person she recognized having a conversation with the front desk officer. She started walking in the direction of the man, and it's probably that he quickly sensed her presence, which is why he turned to look at her. What business does he have in this building? Despite her uncertainty and the many concerns that arose from her encounter with Marcel in this building, Annalia decided to exte
"Yet again, Marcel Delatorre is caught while engaged in the commission of unlawful actions. It was during the alleged launch of DLT Resto that the incident that resulted in the confiscation of illegal and unpermitted weaponry that the photographs in question were taken. According to one article that went viral on the internet, firearms could have been one of the contributing factors that led to the incident. It was revealed that Marcel Delatorre was once more the subject of an investigation." Annalia took her time as she painstakingly applied her dark red lipstick while she listened to the news. Every word Annalia listened to was like a piece of music to her ears, and she could hear it over and over again. Jack Will eventually carried out the final step of the plan five days ago, immediately after the situation with Marcel began to calm down gradually. The goal was straightforward. Jack would lead Marcel to believe that one of his rivals in the sector was responsible for putting him
"Adam, I was not aware that you had made this location your main headquarters. I had forgotten that you had your own somewhere to stay whenever the situation became more severe. "As Marcel observed, his comments were very critical. Adam's teeth were tightened because he knew Marcel was trying to convey meaning with his words. "I'm disappointed you did. All this time, I've been looking forward to seeing you. I suppose I ought to be grateful that you gave me sufficient time to recover, correct?" Adam's tone was scornful when he uttered those words. He saw how Marcel's mouth turned down into an arrogant sneer as one of the corners of Marcel's lips curved up. Adam smiled and turned his head in Antonio's direction, indicating that he had noticed his presence. Antonio did not show any emotion as he simply stared at him. Marcel's question was directed at Adam in a harsh and authoritative tone, and he asked, "Why do you feel the need to hide, Adam?" As Adam stared at Marcel with an expressio
Annalia approached their table with a triumphant smirk on her face. But she abruptly turned around to face whoever had grabbed her arm. Caroline's anger was through the roof as she clenched her fist around Annalia's wrist even more tightly. Annalia's brows furrow as she tries to ignore the pain caused by Caroline's grip. "What the hell is wrong with you?" Annalia spoke in a harsh whisper. She turned her attention to her immediate surroundings and noticed that a few employees of the restaurant were looking in their direction. But Caroline did not move at all. She didn't appear to care whether other people were already looking at them. Even though Caroline works in Paris, there is no denying that she is recognized in the Philippines as a successful Filipino model due to the success of her modeling career. Perhaps these individuals are familiar with Caroline, but she acts as if there is no significance to the fact that her name is at the center of a scandal. Well, Anna is different. Sh
Annaliza felt much better when she woke up. Following the chat she had with Adam the previous evening, the thorn in her heart appears to have faded. She recalled Adam's explanation that what had occurred was due to Adam's negligence in handling the situation. Marcel carries out the punishment for his people since it is how he deals with his anger and disappointment, which is by punishing those under his command. Annalia didn't ask him and just let Adam talk. Even though Anna detects the young man hesitating to disclose information from time to time, Anna pretends she doesn't notice because she understands there are things Adam doesn't want to reveal. Also, Anna is clueless about the cause of Adam's behavior. But she is convinced that he is attempting to look out for the sake of another person by keeping that information to himself. She was saddened by it. Yet she understood where he was coming from. Yes, she always does. The morning arrived, and it was time for her to start getting r
"Mariel, retouch Anna's makeup; Lawrence, come here!" yelled the director. When one of the makeup artists saw Annalia, they hurried to her and immediately began touching up her makeup. Anna's attention was accidentally drawn to Adam, who was sitting on the side and watching them shoot while Mariel was doing what she was doing. Because of the heat, Annalia couldn't help but crack a smile at the sight of his creased forehead. They have moved their shoot outside, where they are currently being bathed by the sun. Since Anna's assistants were also present and she might not be able to order around Adam due to their presence, Anna insisted that Adam could wait in the car. However, he refused to do it. Perhaps it's because of Caroline. A little while ago, as they were getting ready to leave, Caroline had intended to join in the shoot; however, due to the extreme heat, she begged Adam to accompany her shopping instead. The fact that Caroline is displaying her true personality through her beha
