"I will not–" Arabella started to decline the call, but seeing the number saved as "secretary Hannah," she hesitated. "It's his secretary…" She thought, picking up the call with a smile. "

Hi," she greeted, asking, "this is Dominic's secretary, right?"

"Yes, I'm Hannah," Hannah replied, inquiring, "please, who is this?"

Arabella dodged the question. "Don't worry about who I am. He's fine and safe. I am taking care of him."

Hannah's questions persisted. "Please, who is this, and how did you get his phone? Where are you speaking from?"

Her tone turned playful. "Stop asking who I am. I am speaking from my room, and his phone is with me because we are together. He's right here, resting on my bed."

Hannah's voice rose in surprise. "On your bed?!"

Arabella's response was nonchalant. "Yeah. Are you surprised? Isn't he a man? Can't he be in a room with a lady?"

"Please, can you give the phone to him?" Hannah requested.

Arabella's reply was teasing. "Yes, I can give the phone to him, but h

    "Welcome, ma'am," a staff member of Three Star Media said, directing her with a slight bow. Rosie curtsied her head, maintaining a dazzling smile on her face. "Good day." She responded."This way, ma'am." The staff member said, leading the way.As they entered the broadcasting studio, the staff member pointed to a chair. "Have a seat, ma'am," she offered. "The host will be here in a jiffy." "For how long will we have to wait?" Hannah asked. "I hope you understand the president has a tight schedule. She just graces you with her presence because she's generous." The staff member's expression turned apologetic. "We understand, ma'am. But you know, the interview has been canceled before, so we're not fully prepared beforehand. Besides, you insisted Sofia should hold the interview."Just then, a voice came from the entrance. "We're sorry, ma'am." They turned to see a woman in her fifties standing there, her expression contrite."Director…" The female staff member called out. Chloe walk

    Dominic's eyes slowly fluttered open. He fully opened them and rested his head on the pillow for a moment before slowly lifting it until he sat up. He looked around the room, his forehead furrowed in confusion, his eyes half-closed. "Where am I?" He wondered aloud.He felt a slight pain in his forehead and winced, touching the left side of his forehead. "Hmm," he groaned softly. He struggled to stand up, his body feeling weak and tired. "Where am I?" He asked again, his voice laced with frustration.As he dragged his feet to the door, Arabella walked in, and they collided, both of them letting out a startled "Uhn!" She quickly regained her balance and stood up straight, her face flushing with embarrassment. "You're awake," she said, looking down shyly."What am I doing here?" His questions poured out. "How did I get here?" "Calm down, it's not as if I kidnapped you," she snapped, her tone calm. "I helped you. You fainted earlier, and I brought you here."He raised an eyebrow. "Is t

    Archie entered the sitting room at a slow pace, his walk lacking its usual rhythm and fluidity. His arms hung limply by his sides, without their usual swing of movement. He met his mother sitting down, which made him slow down even further. "Good day, ma."Clementine furrowed her face, standing up with a confused expression. "What's wrong with you?" She asked, extending her hand to grab his, but he stepped aside. "I'm fine." He replied, avoiding his mother's touch and casting his eyes downward to evade eye contact."Are you sure?" She asked, trying to touch him again. He walked out of his mother's sight, dragging his feet as if weighed down by an invisible burden. "Don't follow me, please," he pleaded. He placed his left foot on the first stair and glanced back at his mother. "No matter what you hear, don't intervene." He continued ascending the stairs in shorter strides, leaving his mother to stare after him with her mouth agape. As he reached the door to his room, he paused for

    Arabella heard Dominic's phone ringing and rushed out of the bathroom. "Someone finally called," she thought, hurrying to pick up the phone. Her eyes narrowed as she stared at the caller's name on the screen. "Just a love emoji?" She exclaimed, her lips curling into a mixture of confusion and amusement.She continued to stare at the screen until the call ended. "Oops!" She muttered, about to put the phone down, when it rang again. "Why not pick it?" She wondered to herself, but her hesitation was short-lived. She received the call and greeted, "Hellooooo…""Hi, please, who is this?" Rosie's voice came through the phone. Arabella's eyes widened in shock as she recognized the voice. She quickly pulled the phone away from her ear and hung up, covering her mouth with her left hand."It's Rosie!" She shouted, still in shock. The phone rang again, but she refused to pick it up. "No, I can't pick it," she said, shaking her head, as if defying the courageous part of her mind that was urgi

    "He's still sleeping," Arabella said, emerging from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her body, covering her from chest to knees. She wiped her face and neck with a smaller towel and dropped it on the floor. "It's been a stressful day already," she muttered, walking to the other side of the bed where Dominic lay unconscious. She sat on the edge of the bed and reached for his phone. "Someone needs to know he's here, so they won't be worried," she thought to herself, quickly turning on the phone. After a minute of waiting for it to boot up, she swiped up the lock screen, only to find it required a PIN. "I don't know his PIN…" She whispered, looking down in disappointment. She returned the phone to the cabinet and was about to stand up when an idea struck her. She turned to glance at him, a smile spreading across her face. Excited, she quickly walked back to the bed and grabbed his right hand, placing his index finger on the power button. However, it didn't work, prompting
