"The office is not responding to the email," Max muttered with frustration, stepping out of his house. The multitude of troubles seemed to be closing in on him, and now even the governor's wife had managed to find her way onto his growing list of worries."Thank you, Shirley. I'll take care of it myself," Max said, dismissing his assistant with a nod of gratitude.If he didn't have the concern of leaving Chloe alone at the gala, he wouldn't have been bothered by the governor's wife's sentiments towards him. But now, as he approached his car, the chauffeur opened the door, awaiting Max's instructions. Max slid into the plush comfort of the limo, finding a momentary respite from the chaotic world outside.He was certain Chloe wouldn't be at home. With the approaching fashion season and her tireless dedication to her designs, he had witnessed her staying up all night, pouring her heart into her work."Girly Lux," Max instructed his chauffeur, his voice filled with a mix of hope and appre

There was no hiding from him now.As Max approached, a wave of his irresistible charisma accompanied his every step. At that moment, Chloe momentarily forgot her anger and resentment toward him. She wished, even for a thousand miles away, to be closer to him. His eyes, filled with a mix of longing and remorse, locked onto hers, causing her heart to skip a beat. It was as if they were in their own private realm, where no one else existed, where their unspoken desires and emotions were laid bare.Chloe could feel the weight of their connection, the undeniable magic that still lingered between them. The remorse in Max's eyes mirrored the longing in her own.

Alejandro took a long drag from his cigarette pipe, his expression filled with disdain as Diego forcefully pushed Sofia to the floor."Estupido! You think you can escape from the mighty Alejandro Navarro?" he sneered, his voice laced with arrogance.Sofia trembled on the ground, fully aware of the terrible things Alejandro was capable of. Diego grabbed the bag beside him and tossed it at Alejandro's feet, informing him of Sofia's plan to run away to another country and start a new life.Alejandro disregarded the bag, as the gold held no significance to him. His focus was on the woman lying defenseless on the floor. She had made a fool out of him, and he intended to make an example out of her."Where is he? That wretched Carlos! It's his fault that my anger knows no bounds, and my anger is not to be trifled with."Carlos hurried into the room upon hearing his name, the scar from his previous encounter with Alejandro still visible on his face.

Emma's head throbbed relentlessly, despite the painkillers she had taken. With each pulsating ache, her frustration and disappointment grew. She mustered the strength to drag herself onto the bed, collapsing onto the soft surface, desperate for relief.The absence of Kylian during her time of need only intensified her anguish. Clutching her head with trembling hands, she felt the pain sharpen, as if mocking her. Where was he when she needed his support the most? Wasn't he supposed to be her partner, her rock?She couldn't shake off the bitter realization that Kylian's devotion was reserved for Chloe. He would be furious when he discovered the state of his Bentley, left damaged in the compound. Emma had taken it for a joyride around town, struggling to maneuver a vehicle she had yet to master. And to compound her foolishness, she had even live-streamed the entire reckless escapade.Tossing aside the towel that had provided little relief, Emma confronted the harsh truth. Waiting for Kyl

Chloe sat in front of the mirror, the rhythmic strokes of the brush through her hair bringing back cherished memories of her mother's tender care. She realized now that she had been mistaken to think she could let go of her parents' memory so easily. The longing to uncover the truth about that fateful day when they left the house and never returned had grown stronger within her. It was time to have a heartfelt conversation with Amelia, to seek answers and connect with her roots. Perhaps, by discovering more about her parents, she could also uncover the truth behind their mysterious disappearance.Gathering her luscious locks into a curly ponytail, Chloe admired herself in the mirror, a faint smile playing on her lips. She couldn't deny the resemblance she saw between herself and her mother. It was as if their spirits were intertwined, guiding her on this journey of self-discovery.Max had hinted that their outing would involve some walking, and Chloe contemplated putting on trousers f
