~ Country A - As Trey walked out of Valerie's hospital room, he couldn't shake off the vivid memory of the pair of brown eyes staring back at him, as he approached Mr. Lynn, âYour daughter needs you now,â Trey said, hoping to mark out Mr. Lynn's reaction, when he referred to Valerie as his daughter. Mr. Lynn, however, was prepared for any attack and responded calmly, âI will, thank you for being there for my niece, I know I haven't been the best uncle to her, so you being there for her means a lot to me.â He was acknowledging that he had not been the best uncle to Lisa. Trey thought as he nodded. Although he attempted to hide his increasing worry, he couldn't help the anticipation laced in his voice when he asked. âHow is your daughter doing? Where is she now?â But his expectations were short-lived when Mr. Lynn smiled and replied. âShe is doing fine, she got married a few years back, I don't know if Valerie mentioned it to you.â âWell, that's a firstâ Trey thought, his
âDon't be, I asked her uncle about her, and for once he didn't lie, he told me sheâs married.â Trey ran his fingers through his hair, causing his perfectly styled locks to become disheveled. His mind wandered back in time, as he recalled a memory from six years ago. ~~~ As Trey slid the ring onto Valerie's finger, she gazed at it with admiration and whispered, "I love you," before planting a tender kiss on his lips. She then got up from his lap and took a seat on the sofa in the office, where she watched Trey work and she continued to admire the ring on her finger. However, her outward display of affection was nothing more than a facade. After about half an hour, Valerie received a phone call that required her immediate attention. She approached Trey, pecked him on the cheek, and made her exit. Trey, engrossed in his work, continued typing on his laptop for another half-hour before realizing that he hadnât been on his phone for almost two hours. As he was scrolling through his
Martina's face contorted into a deep frown as she read the note in her hand. Her eyes flashed with anger as she asked in a steely voice, "Who is the idiot who dared to kidnap my child just three days after he requested my services?" Lucas, her trusted assistant, spoke up quickly. "We're doing everything we can to track down the young master, but the tracking devices we had placed on him seem to have been deactivated. It's proving to be quite a challenge." Martina's mind was racing with worry and frustration. "And what about Angelo? Where is he? And have you informed Antonio about this?" Lucas nodded, "Yes, boss. I've already called Antonio, and he's on his way. As for Angelo, he was knocked out when he was ambushed, but he's woken up now and is also on his way here." Martina's face was contorted with a mix of anger and anxiety as she urgently asked Lucas. "Have you checked up on the people's home? How is my Clara? Were there any situations there?" Lucas replied in a calm and
Trey arrived at the Sunset all-in-one luxurious casino just as the clock struck eight in the evening. One of the legal establishments built by the Collins family. The Sunset all-in-one luxurious casino is an architectural masterpiece that boasts of being the largest casino ever built. It stands tall as a high skyscraper, with over 700 regular rooms and 300 suites. The moment you step into the casino, you are greeted with a spacious club and bar that is perfect for socializing with friends or mingling with strangers. As you make your way through the casino, you'll notice an inside mezzanine floor that offers a breathtaking view of the entire establishment. It's where some of the higher-ups sit to enjoy their drinks and watch people dance on the dance floor. Their gaze, fixated and unwavering, swept through the bustling crowd of women in search of a visage that would catch their eye. Their quest was to find a companion for the night, a beauty with whom they could spend a few fleeting
- Treyâs Villa - Trey woke up feeling groggy and disoriented, his head pounding with a severe hangover from last night's excessive drinking. He dragged himself out of bed and stumbled towards his bathroom, hoping a refreshing shower would help ease his throbbing headache. As he undressed and stepped into the shower, the warm water cascaded down his body, tracing a path over the intricate tattoos etched into his sculpted torso and one of his arms. The water droplets glistened against the colorful ink, highlighting every detail and curve, as Trey closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh of relief. After savoring a soothing shower, Trey stepped out of the bathroom and strode over to his spacious walk-in closet. He pulled open a drawer in his cabinet inside the closet, revealing a neatly organized first aid box. Skimming through it, he deftly retrieved a packet of handover medicine and popped one into his mouth. As he savored the quick relief, he carefully replaced the box and turned
Trey's face contorted with conflicting emotions as he struggled to process what the boy had just said. He felt a glimmer of happiness at the child's words, but at the same time, he couldn't shake off the nagging worry that the young boy was away from his family. Despite the inner turmoil, Trey managed to put on a smile and reply to the child. He smiled and said, "Thank you?"âYou're welcome, are you married?â Luis asked, which earned another laugh from Mrs Cooper. She was delighted to see the child interacting with Trey, her heart was filled with joy and delight. The house had been silent and dull since Lisa's departure, but the child had brought vibrant colors and liveliness to the villa. Trey replied with a "Yes, I am,""That's bad," Luis said and asked him a rather odd question. "Is your wife pretty? If not, you can marry my mommy. She is the prettiest woman on earth." Though it was an unusual request, Trey couldn't help but smile widely in response - it was the first time he had
As Martina walks through the lobby of the hotel, her long and graceful stride commands attention. The clicking sound of her white with black polka dots high heels echoes throughout the open space, catching the ears of the receptionist, other employees, and guests who have gathered in the hotel's restaurant at the far end of the lobby. The sound of her footsteps creates a sense of anticipation and intrigue, drawing the eyes of onlookers to her confident and poised presence. Martina walked up to the front desk of the luxurious hotel with a charming smile on her face. She politely informed the receptionist, "I have a room reserved here under the name of Miss Castillo." The receptionist's eyes widened at the mention of the reservation. She was clearly surprised and somewhat flustered as she stammered,"Th..th..the penthouse suite was reserved by you?" Lucas stepped forward to handle the situation. He spoke in a calm and professional tone, "Miss, please be professional and assist us in
- Leisureq Hotel - At the hotel, Fausto was seated at the restaurant, his face facing the lobby, he was watching for any sign of Martina, so he could approach her. ~~~ After sleeping for almost 5 hours from jet lag, Martina emerged from her luxurious bedroom, the grandeur of the penthouse seemingly amplified by the stark contrast of her mood. Her mind was heavy with the weight of her son's recent abduction, and she was keen on stepping out to shake off the oppressive feeling. She dressed herself in a cream-sling satin blouse that draped elegantly over her shoulders, paired with loose blue jeans trousers that had rips at the front. Her hair was tied up in a messy bun, with loose locks framing her face, giving her a relaxed yet sophisticated look. She adorned herself with a golden necklace that gracefully rested on her chest, a matching bracelet and earrings, and black heels that accentuated her long legs. âIs Clara still asleep?â Martina asked the nanny seated in the living room,
