Three weeks later at Pearl City Hospital. Beep Beep Beep The beeping sounds from the multiple cardiac monitors in the emergency ward could be heard from outside the ward. At the far end of the general emergency ward, the frail body of a child could be seen lying in a hospital bed. Her small face was swollen, while her forehead and neck had been bandaged; an IV drip was inserted into the back of her hand, an infusion her body relied on to keep it hydrated, and a pulse oximeter was attached to her thumb to measure her heartbeat and respiratory conditions. “No! It’s been 3 weeks now, but you’re still informing me of the exact excuse,” a man said angrily. His patience was running out; he lost his beloved sister, together with her husband. He was grateful their daughter survived, but since he read on the news three weeks ago about the accident and arrived at the hospital, he had been told the same old story, but now he's out of patience and won't take ‘everything is fine’ for an

“I’m so exhausted,” Martina said, yawning as she slumped onto the couch. “I did not! Sign up for this,” she scolded, settling deeper into the couch and inhaling a long breath. “I'm sorry, bestie. Antonio and I thought it would be best if you became more acquainted with the employees; it has been two years since you were introduced to them, yet they know little about you. We thought it was a good idea,” Susan explained to justify their actions, taking her seat next to Martina. Martina sighed and turned her head to face Susan. “I understand, but you're aware of the situation I'm currently in. I need to be there for Clara; she needs me here,” Martina explained worriedly; she couldn't abandon the well-being of her child for the company. She ought to be there for her children as well. She didn't want to imagine what would happen should she leave her daughter alone. She would be traumatized to know her ignorance caused her daughter to be in a dire predicament. “No, Martina, you got i

- Country A - In a suite on the tenth floor of Leisureq Hotel, Fausto stood in the kitchen cooking in only his briefs, with an apron tied around his lean waist, his masculine broad back scratched with finger marks left by Valerie last night during their intense lovemaking. He woke in the late hours of the morning due to the exercise from last night; they went to bed after midnight. He came to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, if it could be considered as one, before Valerie woke up. 30 minutes later, after setting the meals on the table, Fausto turned to go and wake Valerie but saw Valerie walking out of the bedroom door wearing his white t-shirt that reached her mid-thigh, giving him a glimpse of her sexy legs the moment he turned around; her hair was messy from last night's adventure, and there wasn't an area in the suite where they didn't have sex. Valerie approached him with a smile, tiptoed, and placed a kiss on his lips. “Good morning,” she said after breaking the kiss. “

- Country A - At the premises of the Golden Heights Corporation, the running footsteps of a man could be heard throughout the lobby as he sprinted towards the elevator. He was a panting mess, as he had run from a far distance before arriving at the company, and all his depleted efforts could have been avoided if his noble leader Diego, the only means of reaching out to the boss, had responded to his damn calls. Now he was required to come to the company, which was considered a no-go zone for them due to their association with the underworld. After a few minutes, the elevator reached the floor of their all-powerful boss' office. He impatiently waited for the elevator door to open and rushed out immediately when it swung open. While leaving Trey's office, Diego noticed a man who, according to his clothes, was from the base but had dared to enter the company, despite the boss' prohibition. Diego saw him sprinting down the hall and coming towards him. As he approached, he recognize

“Boss, it’s your grandfather calling.” “Decline it,” Trey said. Diego considered it beneficial for Trey to have a conversation with the old master. Initially, he seemed as though he intended to interject but finally decided against it, instead offering a nod of agreement. “Diego, ready the car for our visit to the base of the black market gang.” Diego gave a nod of affirmation, reached for the earpiece in his ear, and instructed his men to prepare the cars for the next step. As he was about to update Trey on the completion of the task, there was a knock at the door interrupting him. It was Lucy, Trey's secretary, who was standing at the door and appeared to be in a hurry, by the urgent expression on her face and how she was tapping her foot. Diego gestured with his hand, asking her to come in. Lucy confidently walked into the office and respectfully approached Trey's desk. She professionally said, “I'm sorry to interrupt, sir, but Chairman Collins is urgently requesting to sp
