The Hacking Incident
Back at the Anderson mansion, Felix heard the news that Marianne's mom had just woken up from the coma. He wanted to visit her, but then, he remembered what he promised to Marianne, and he wanted to make up things right with Charlotte. The days that followed brought gradual changes to the Anderson mansion. Felix, determined to make amends, started spending more time with Charlotte. They went for walks in the garden, shared meals, and engaged in conversations that went beyond the surface. The atmosphere within the mansion began to shift, a tentative sense of healing permeating the once-strained walls. Charlotte, too, found herself opening up to Felix. The apology he had offered, coupled with his sincere efforts to be present, created a bridge between them.

One sunny day, Charlotte went inside a

The news of the cyberattack spread like wildfire within the Anderson mansion. Daisy's eyes widened, mirroring the shock and concern that rippled through the household. "What? Hacked? How is that even possible?" Daisy exclaimed, her mind trying to grasp the severity of the situation. Charlotte, still reeling from the revelation, replied, "I don't know, Daisy. Felix didn't provide many details, but it sounds serious. He's at the company, dealing with it." "We need to tell Father about this," Daisy suggested. "C-Can we do that?" Charlotte asked, unsure about Daisy's idea. "We need him, maybe Father could help, right?" Charlotte nodded her head in agreement. "You're right. Let's go talk to Father and update him on the situation. Maybe he can offer some guidance or assistance." As Charlotte and Daisy made their way to Ramon's study, the tension within the mansion was palpable. Ramon looked up from his desk as they entered, sensing the gravity of the situation from their expression

Ramon, restless and concerned, spent the night in his study, making calls and receiving briefings from Felix and the IT team. Daisy and Charlotte took turns staying by their father's side, offering support and reassurance. As morning light filtered through the windows, Ramon's phone buzzed with a message from Felix. The patriarch quickly opened the message, hopeful for positive news. "Father, we've made progress in identifying the source of the attack. It seems there might be an internal breach. Our IT team is working on isolating the compromised systems and securing our data. I'll keep you updated as we make further advancements. - Felix" Ramon sighed with a mixture of relief and frustration. "At least they're making progress," he muttered to himself.

Felix past
"Let's get you home, Mom. You need plenty of rest to fully recover." They made their way through the hospital corridors, the familiar scent of antiseptic gradually giving way to the fresh air outside. Marianne hailed a cab, and they settled into the back seat, the city passing by in a blur. Once they arrived home, Marianne helped her mother settle into the comfortable surroundings of their living room. The walls adorned with family photos and memories seemed to welcome them back with open arms. "Would you like some tea, Mom?" Marianne offered, heading towards the kitchen. "That sounds lovely, dear," her mother replied, sinking into the sofa with a sigh of contentment. Marianne busied herself in the kitchen, preparing a pot of soothing chamomile tea. As the water boiled, she couldn't help but glance at her mother from the doorway, grateful for this moment of peace after the storm of health concerns. Returning to the living room with a tray of tea, Marianne settled on the sofa bes

Peace and comfort
Marianne was already inside her bed as she thought of Felix. She felt so guilty after knowing what he had been through. A deep sigh came out of her mouth as she lay down on her bed. A tear escaped from her eyes as she felt so sorry for Felix. "How I wish I knew about your past, Felix," she stammered as tears continued to flow from her eyes. Her mother leaned against the door and sighed. She then let Marianne cry, she thought that letting her do what she wants makes her heart feel better. Emma slowly walked away from her daughter's room and headed back to the kitchen to prepare something for her. In the kitchen, Emma prepared a light snack for Marianne, contemplating the complexities of life and the unexpected turns it could take. As she sliced some fresh fruits, her mind wandered back to the news about the Anderson family. The hacking incident had shaken the foundation of their business empire, and Emma couldn't help but wonder about the ripple effects on Felix. Her thoughts we

Meeting you again, my Ex-Husband
The park seemed to cocoon them in a bubble of shared vulnerability, and for a moment, the weight of their individual struggles lifted. In that quiet space, they rediscovered the solace they once found in each other's presence. After a while, Felix pulled away, wiping away his tears with a grateful smile. Marianne offered him a small, understanding smile in return. The unspoken connection between them lingered, transcending the complexities of their past. "I didn't expect to find you here," Felix admitted, his voice raw with emotion. Marianne managed a small smile, "Me too. I didn't expect this." Felix took a deep breath, his gaze searching Marianne's eyes. "Thank you for being here, Marianne. It means more than you know." Marianne smiled, "You're always welcome, Felix." "By the way," she looked at him. "I heard mother was discharged. How is she?" "She's fine, Felix. Don't worry about her because she's well and healthy." Felix nodded, a sense of relief washing over him. "I'm gl

The painter
One day, while exploring a charming coastal town, Marianne stumbled upon a beach. She went to the shore and sat down on the shore. As she looked into the sea, her eyes started to tear up. "Why! Why am I living like this? How can I move on from this!" she raged as she continued to tear up. On the other hand, a painter on the other side heard the scream near him. He looked around, but it seemed like there was no one. He continued to paint, but the loud screams and sobs continued, which caused him unfocused on his work. Curiosity getting the better of him, the painter decided to investigate the source of the cries. He followed the sound, winding his way through the narrow streets until he reached the beach. There, he found Marianne, sitting alone, with the waves crashing gently against the shore. He observed the girl from a distance and sighed, he then walked closer to her and handed a handkerchief to her. "Here Ms. use this for the time being." Marianne looked up, startled by th

The Threat
Back at the company, Nate saw how Felix struggled to find out who was the real culprit of the hacking incident. He knocked before getting inside and placed the coffee on his table. Felix looked up from his computer, exhaustion evident in his eyes. "Thanks, Nate. I could use a break." Nate took a seat across from Felix, observing the intricate web of code on the computer screen. "Any progress?" Felix sighed, running a hand through his hair. "It's like chasing shadows. The hacker covered their tracks well. But I'm determined to get to the bottom of this. Our company's security is at stake." Nate nodded, sipping his coffee. "I trust you'll figure it out. You always do." Felix managed a faint smile, appreciating the vote of confidence. "I hope so. It's just frustrating not knowing who's behind this. They've targeted sensitive information, and it's affecting our clients' trust." Later that day, Nate was walking towards the parking lot when Charlotte saw him. She waved her hands with

His anger
Nate turned to leave, but he changed his mind. He pulls the trigger on his side and shoots the man. The gunshot echoed through the desolate building, and the hacker crumpled to the ground, clutching his side in pain. The air hung heavy with the acrid smell of gunpowder, and Nate stood there, his expression cold and determined. "You think you can threaten me with exposure?" Nate spat, his voice low and filled with rage. "I won't let anyone jeopardize what I've built." The hacker groaned, writhing in pain. "You... you can't... just eliminate me." Nate's eyes flashed with a dangerous intensity. "I can, and I will protect my interests at any cost." Nate's hands gripped the steering wheel tightly as he navigated the darkened streets. The gunshot still echoed in his mind, a chilling reminder of the darkness he had willingly embraced. His thoughts wandered back to a past filled with pain and loss, a past that fueled the flames of revenge burning within him. Ten years ago... Nate Brown'

You did it." Felix nodded, acknowledging his sister's words. "Felix, my son," Ramon called him and tapped his shoulders, "You did great. Thank you," his father uttered as Charlotte and her family arrived at the place. Felix smiled, grateful for his family's support. However, his gaze shifted when he saw Charlotte entering the mansion. He smiled and then walked closer to her, "How are you?" "I'm good," she replied, and then Felix greeted Charlotte's parents politely.
