"What...what are you doing here?" Adam is taken aback upon first sighting Annalia in front of his home. He then immediately wears his sando shirt, looking at Anna in surprise. How did she get to know his address in the first place? "I believe I heard you were released from the hospital on your own accord. So, I came over to see if... if everything is going well for you," while Annalia spoke, her attention was drawn to the arm sling Adam wore. "Don't worry, I was the one who went through your document to find your address since Don...won't tell me." She continues clenching her knuckles to stop the electric vibration in her palms. The realization that her presence here may cause Adam to become irate has caused her anxiety and fear. It took him some time to react while Anna's gaze remained focused on the arm sling that Adam was wearing. The young man makes her feel too ashamed to stare at him, so she avoids doing so. Fuck! She is now feeling both regret and a sense of realization. Don h
As Adam saw Annalia place the meat in the frying pan, he commented, "You really are a good cook." Annalia offered to make him dinner before she planned to leave his house. Adam mentioned to her that he hadn't eaten anything until this evening, which was now eight o'clock. Since there were no cooks or even a maid to take care of him, Anna couldn't say she blamed him. After all, there was no one else here to do it. Also, Annalia asks Adam if he can simply order his people outside to get him food, but he refuses to do so, noting that even if there is food, he can't eat properly due to the wound to his arm. "I learned," is all Annalia has to say in response. Adam stands up and walks toward the refrigerator before he leans against it and turns his head to properly look at her. Adam examined Annalia from her feet all the way up to her face, thinking to himself how stunningly gorgeous she was. Adam caught a lumpy, dry, taut skin on her neck as he continued to stare at her. With a frown, he
"Where did you sleep last night? You actually went to Adam, didn't you? I warned you that it was perilous!" Following Don's preaching, Annalia lets out a deep sigh and rolls her eyes while giving him the side eye. They have arrived at the location where the next set of shots will be taken. To her great relief, she arrived at the company at just the right moment. While traveling from Adam's residence to the workplace, Annalia had severe anxiety because she knew perfectly well that she would be late for the shooting. What can she say; she lucked out. Speaking of Adam, he made the point that he needed a day off before going back to work, and Anna was more than happy to give her approval of his decision. Adam was the one who cooked for them when they had breakfast earlier, and he was the one who made it. Annalia was astounded to see Adam moving around deftly in the kitchen, even though his wound had not yet healed. He assured her that he was feeling absolutely well and that it was not in
Silas and Donovan headed to Annalia's penthouse to provide the clothing she would wear to the dinner later tonight. She puts on her platform stiletto heels and her ruched chain dress with a crisscross tie backless and split thigh halter dress after she has completed applying her makeup and putting on all of her accessories. And with that, she is finished. Since Adam is still not here, and Silas has already visited the Delatorre at the venue, Don offered to be the one to drive her to the restaurant on his own. Annalia intended to ask Don whether or not Adam would be present, but she thought that the topic might make him curious and weirded out. When Anna and Donovan arrived at the restaurant, there were no people, which confused her. Is this exclusive for them? Donovan assists Annalia in stepping out of the car, and while she is doing so, she rests her hand on Donovan's forearm and looks around the restaurant. This location is enormous, exudes an air of luxury, and radiates grandeur
"How did you get here?" As if he didn't hear a word from Annalia said, Antonio simply gave her a stare of an unknown emotion Annalia barely noticed. He did not respond for a couple of seconds. "I followed you," Antonio said dismissively. "Yeah, I see that," she says, "but why?" Antonio stated, "I was worried if you were okay." Annalia frowned, but she quickly dismissed him by shaking her head. "Why would you ask that?" Annalia chuckles at the thought of the statement. She is aware of Antonio's reason to worry, but she must be careful not to appear to be affected by his father, even though she is confident of what is on his mind. While grabbing her phone from her purse, Annalia walks past Antonio. She heard Antonio sigh as he followed after her. "Nothing. I was just wondering if you are, Ann." Annalia stops walking upon hearing Antonio calls her name...for the first time. She pivots to take a gander at Antonio, her eyes grave. Perceiving how Antonio responded, Anna appears to bef
Don asks in a low voice, "Are you all right, Ann?" Though Annalia did not want to, he offered to help her leave the restaurant by walking her. After what happened with Adam, she returned to their table hastily and informed the gentlemen that she was going home. She disregards the fact that Antonio is nowhere to be found. He might have been upset from earlier.She answered promptly, "I'm alright. Just a little weary." Annalia still gets a sharp pain in her hands and an electric tingle as she recalls what Adam said. She went outside with Don, but thankfully she didn't see him. Annalia was expecting Adam to appear outside the restaurant or perhaps in the parking lot to beg her forgiveness once more. Though he would never do it, she was expecting the seemingly impossible. Despite not personally knowing Adam, she can read emotions from someone's eyes. And, though Adam wasn't aware of it, Annalia recognized how misled and disappointed he felt. Perhaps the strain of waiting for her is too m
Annalia was dropped off in front of the building by Antonio. Although, he actually wanted to accompany her inside till she reached her penthouse. Annalia resisted, though. It's already late, and she is aware that Antonio has further crucial responsibilities to fulfill. Annalia ponders what Zero meant when he texts her about the "crucial information" he had as she moves toward the elevator. She hasn't called him since the morning that she is aware of. Perhaps Donovan has already given him a brief overview of his job. Annalia throws her bag to her couch after entering the penthouse. She sets up her bathtub and bath essentials to use so she can wash her body. She then strips all of her clothing and marches naked in the direction of the bathroom. Annalia rubs down her body using the forming bubbles in the bathtub while letting her body drown in the warm water. As her body relaxed, she shut her eyes. Annalia continued to touch her body down to her crotch, unaware that she was doing so wh
"What brought you here?" Don inquired of Anna while sporting a frown. Anna flashed a grin before walking up to Don's desk and sitting on an empty couch. "What exactly happened, my dear? You give off the impression of being in a good mood," her father questioned, displaying his steady bewilderment over Annalia's actions. Well, something has taken place, and Anna is delighted by it. She let out a long breath before closing her eyes and leaning back on the sofa. While her eyes continued to be closed, she spoke, "I have something for us." Annalia felt someone was sitting next to her, which prompted her to open her eyes and flash a smirk. "It has to do with Marcel." As soon as Don heard those comments, he immediately put his laptop to sleep and gave his secretary strict instructions not to enter his office. Both of them are now positioned facing Anna and waiting for her to initiate the discussion regarding Marcel. Whatever it is, it must be significant if Anna is making an effort to co
