Sally sighed out of relief, as both Oli and Ryan have seemed to calm down now. She was glad it did not get out of hand. Sally has always been the group’s mediator with her grounded and logical thinking.Sally asked, “Well, do you still have that alcohol you supposedly made for Maya?”“Yeah, I do, but why?”“We might have to use it on Pedro.” Sally gulped hard and continued, “And I guess I’ll have to pull out another one of those dancer costumes. Once Pedro’s guard is down, we can know more. So Oli, each shot, you’ll have to find a reason not to drink it. Otherwise, you’ll end up getting drunk instead.”“That may be hard, but sure, I’ll try,” Oli said while gritting her teeth. She was in a bad mood and did not know if she could do what she was supposed to.Sally grabbed her costume, and the two of them went up to the private lounge to meet Pedro as he cas

He said to Sam before leaving, “Clean up your messes and don’t bring girls in my apartment, go stay elsewhere.”“Oh, come on, let me stay here. You owe me.” Sam whined, “I told you I didn’t want to go to such a cold place, but Alexander forced me. I basically did not have a choice. I had to deal with the branch here in Russia.”“Look, I could barely care about what you and Alexander discussed, but it’s your problem.” Pedro added seriously, “I’m just glad that Alexander could not come here himself. If he found Maya, who knows how much this wedding would go to such catastrophe.”Damn it. Pedro thought to himself, Why the hell did Stephanie have to choose a guy who does not even like her? Was she that desperate?Still, Pedro left after tossing a key to Sam and said, “Here’s a room. Feel free to stay there but don’t bother me again. Deal wit

There were other problems that Sam needed to take care of. One of that was that their company’s people were all resigning thanks to the hold-off salaries.Their electronic company was badly lacking and Sam, being Alexander’s business partner, had to do something about it despite the fact that he was slightly annoyed for being treated like he was Alexander’s assistant.In fact, Sam had other family businesses he had to handle and manage personal, but he could not leave Alexander at the toughest times of his career.With that in mind, Sam quickly headed out to the branch office with his coat on and neat-looking hair. Sam looked like a good and decent guy when in fact, he was a serial dater.Well, it didn’t matter if he was a serial dater slash playboy when women that he slept with knew it from the very beginning, yet they still jump on his bed. He should not be blamed for that, right?***Meanwhile, Oli and Sally contin

Morgana shook her head in disagreement and continued to explain, “That’s what I thought so too. For a year, my mother would keep repeating the scenario that night- about this rich woman leaving Maya on the front porch of the orphanage. Naturally, I thought it was Maya’s mother, but it wasn’t.”Pedro frowned and asked eagerly, “Then who was it?”“It was her grandmother who brought her to the orphanage,” Morgana replied before she released a heavy sigh. She continued, “My mother described the woman as old with white hair and a wicked smile. My mother, Dani, said the old woman looked rich and not just rich. She was loaded, so my mother was baffled as to why she abandoned the baby.”“Did you get the name?” Pedro asked as he took mental notes of all the details Morgana gave him, “Any physical appearance Dani mentioned?”Morgana sighed heavily and continued, “I don&r

Pedro frowned. He was the one who told Sam about it. But, he could not tell that to his sister else she would vent on him.“What if he tells Alexander and Alexander came rushing here? I mean, if he meets Maya here, he will leave me for good,” she continued on the verge of tears.“Sister, as much as I love you, you really need to step out of dreamland. Alexander left you for good when he backed out of your wedding without goodbyes or explanations.” Pedro argued, “Wake up, it couldn’t be any clearer than that.”“Just let me help you find Maya!” Stephanie insisted.“No!” Pedro firmly replied, and he continued, “I’ll deal with finding her alone. You will not take any part of it, do you hear me?”Stephanie was startled for a moment before she said, “You don’t understand-““No, Stephanie, you don’t understand. Alexander will n
