    A week later...Life had finally settled into a comfortable routine for Dimitri and Maureen.The events that had once filled their minds with uncertainty had gradually become part of the past. They were no longer living from one problem to another.They had settled into their life as husband and wife.That afternoon, Dimitri drove Maureen to the hospital for an appointment with an eye doctor.She had been short-sighted since birth, so the appointment wasn't because she had suddenly developed a problem with her eyes. They had already planned the visit because Maureen was going to get her contact lenses that day.Dimitri had suggested again that she get them, and Maureen had agreed without hesitation. After the accident in the restroom, she had changed her mind. She had never used contact lenses before because she had always thought they would be stressful. Putting them in and taking them out seemed like too much work, and she didn't think she had the time for it.When they arrived at t

    "I'll start making arrangements for your return and taking over."Nathaniel looked at Kelsey as he spoke.They were now at the parking lot of the amusement park. A short while after Ramon arrived, they decided to head home.Kelsey forced a smile and nodded."Okay.""You shouldn't have that face," Nathaniel said when he noticed the look on her face. "You're taking over a billion-dollar inheritance, not a cent. You should be happy."Kelsey let out a small sigh."I have enough."She knew exactly what taking over meant. It wasn't only about the money. It meant taking over everything Nathaniel had built and becoming part of the world she had always tried to stay away from.Nathaniel could see the hesitation in her eyes, but he didn't say anything else.They were already leaving. He lowered himself and gave Kendrick a hug. "I'll see you again, champ.""When?""Any other day," Nathaniel said softly with a smile. "Your mummy will bring you to me anytime I want to see you."Kendrick threw his

    Lorenzo stared at the men surrounding him in shock. His eyes moved to Magnus, who stood in front of Ramon, blocking him from Lorenzo."How did they come in?"He looked toward the office door. He had locked it.But then he noticed that they had come through a door that looked like a restroom to him.Ramon didn't answer."Drop your gun, Lorenzo. You might still have a way out of this."His voice was firm, although there was still panic beneath it.Ramon didn't want to tell him that there was an exit door in his private room.The exit had been built for emergencies. Even if he didn't want to leave through the main office door, he could use the exit door.More importantly, he needed to find Kelsey and Kendrick. He needed to know that they were safe with his own eyes.Lorenzo stared at him for a few seconds before suddenly laughing.A bitter laugh escaped his lips."You won again," he said through clenched teeth. "But do you think I'm ready to go back to prison?""You should have lived wel

    Kelsey stepped out of her room after changing into the dress. The soft fabric brushed gently against her skin as she carefully held the side of the gown, afraid she might accidentally step on it.
