As Lisa entered the living room, she saw Susan seated comfortably on the sofa, with Clara and Mitchelle sitting on the soft fur carpet, engrossed in drawing on some sheets placed on the center table. Lisa walked towards them, her eyes scanning the room in search of Luis. She greeted the group, "Hello, sorry I'm late. Where is Luis?" Susan turned and responded, "Oh Lisa, you're back?" "Mommy!” Clara stood up and ran towards her mom, hugging her tightly, and said, "Mommy, brother left for school." Lisa looked at Susan with a questioning gaze. "Yes, he left. He said there was a science fair, and he couldn't miss it," Susan explained. Lisa nodded and let go of Clara. She bent over, brushed her palm on Mitchelle's hair and asked, "Are you okay?" "Yes, Auntie," Mitchelle answered softly, then turned back to her drawing. She sat on the fur carpet with his legs crossed as she was drawing. But her eyes looked a little sad, though she tried to hide it with a smile. Lisa noticed the s
“How is she?” Antonio inquired about Lisa's well-being when Trey joined Them downstairs. "She's resting now," Trey replied, making his way to the sofa and taking a seat. "Boss, I apologize for my earlier tone," Diego, who was leaning against the wall, expressed his remorse. Trey took a moment to look at him, then sighed before inquiring, "Why didn't you inform me that Paco spared Valerie?" "I assumed she wouldn't survive long, given her condition at the time," Diego explained. "Now she's alive and we have no fucking idea where she is!" Trey said with frustration. "Boss, the video shows she's in a hospital. If we can trace the hospital, we can locate her." Diego disclosed. "Why didn't you do that instead of coming here to inform me?" "I've already asked the IT team at the base to handle that. I thought it best to inform you and check up on you. And I believe I made the right decision by coming, didn't I?" Diego asked with a raised brow, "I had planned to go to the ho
When Trey arrived home, it was a few minutes past 2 am. As he stepped into the dimly lit living room, he noticed a figure perched at his bar. Making his way over and settled into a chair beside the figure and inquired, "What's keeping you up at this hour?" He couldn't shake the foreboding feeling, as his mind raced with questions as he pondered the reason for Antonio's unexpected wait. Could it be related to his refusal to let Lisa take the kids with her? Was Antonio planning to persuade him to change his mind and take the kids himself? These thoughts consumed him as he tried to make sense of the situation."I stayed up to talk to you," Antonio revealed. "I hope you don't mind, but I'm concerned about you and Lisa. I thought everything was settled between you two?" Antonio inquired. Trey ran his hand through his hair, a look of frustration on his face as he spoke."I thought the same until I woke up and found out she was planning to leave while I slept. I didn't want to stay here wh
Three weeks later, at the Golden Height Corporation, Trey sat in his spacious office. His gaze lingered on the assortment of the most expensive dazzling engagement rings that were carefully arranged on his mahogany desk, as he contemplated which one was best to suit his Lisa. His mind was consumed by thoughts of Lisa; he wanted to ask her to marry him. After the conversation with Antonio two weeks prior, he had come to a realization. He wanted to make things right with Lisa. Their previous marriage had been rushed and hasty, so now he was determined to do things differently. He wanted to propose to her in the most meaningful and sincere way, to show her how much she meant to him. He was committed to proposing to her in a way that reflected the depth of his love and devotion."Sir, what about this one?" the jeweler said, his voice trembling as he pointed to an emerald ring. He couldn't help but notice how Trey's gaze kept returning to a specific ring. Yet an hour had passed without T
Upon reaching Lisa, Trey swiftly lifted her in his arms and raced towards his car. His bodyguard, standing by, promptly opened the door for him, and he wasted no time in getting inside. "Boss, she's bleeding. You need to stop it," Diego, who was seated in the passenger seat urged, pointing to the stain on Trey's hand beneath Lisa's neck. "Damn it, pass me the medicine kit," Trey exclaimed, his fear evident as he noticed the stain. His worry was so consuming that he failed to register the metallic scent of blood that had filled the car.~~Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at the hospital. Dr. Mark and a team of nurses were already waiting with a stretcher at the entrance. Trey quickly stepped out of the car, carrying Lisa in his arms, and told the medical staff, "No need for the stretcher,” he said, turning to Dr. Mark and instructed. “Lead the way. I'll follow. It'll be faster.""Right away, sir," Dr. Mark responded, taking the lead as they hurriedly made their way to the emerge
Lisa was in a deep, peaceful slumber when she felt a gentle tickling sensation on her face and ears. She tried to open her eyes, but her eyelids were heavy. Despite her efforts, her heavy eyelids refused to open. Suddenly, she heard the sweet, familiar tender voice of Trey, "My priceless gem," he whispered. "Trey?" She struggled to open her eyes, longing to see his face, but before she could succeed, she felt his soft and warm lips on hers. Just as she was about to respond to the unexpected kiss, he pulled away. Reacting quickly, she Instinctively, opened her eyes and seized Trey's wrist, as she playfully demanded, "Where do you think you're going after stealing a kiss from me?" Trey stood before her, his face beaming with a wide smile. "Trey? Are you okay?" she inquired, puzzled by his expression. Her eyes adjusted to her surroundings, and she realized she was in the hospital. Just then memories of her tripping at the police station came flooding back. She looked up at Tre
Three days later, after Trey lovingly assisted Lisa with her breakfast and ensured she took her medication, he lay next to her and tenderly held her in his arms until she drifted off to sleep. After making sure she was comfortable, he quietly got out of bed and made his way to the closet to get ready for work. He emerged from the walk-in closet dressed in a meticulously pressed three-piece dark blue suit.The attire highlighted his muscular biceps and broad chest, with his hair neatly tied up. He reached for his luxurious gold Rolex watch, removing it from its case and diligently fastening it around his wrist to complete his polished look. Just as he finished, there was a sudden knock on the door. Interrupting the quiet atmosphere.Knock! Knock!Not wanting to disturb Lias's peaceful slumber, he reached for his two phones resting on the nightstand and quietly left the room after placing a tender kiss on Lisa's forehead.“Antonio?” Trey said upon opening the door and was greeted by
Upon their arrival at the hotel, Diego ushered them into the elevator and they ascended to the penthouse. The elevator doors parted with a cheerful ding, and they proceeded down the extended corridor toward their destination. Lisa could feel her heart pounding with anticipation, knowing that Trey was planning to propose to her that evening. Despite being aware of the surprise, the excitement of the impending moment filled her with joy. Earlier, when Trey had called and asked her to get ready for the surprise he had in store for her, she couldn't contain her happiness. Upon reaching the door, one of the four vigilant bodyguards stationed there opened it for them.As Lisa entered the room, her eyes lit up at the sight of Mr. Collins, Mrs. Rosa, nanny Rose, and her husband, the one she had operated on before coming to country A. She had totally forgotten to even check on him. However, her smile quickly faded when she spotted her uncle, causing her expression to twist into a frown."Unc
