Martins stood outside watching his helps as they ran around making sure everywhere was intact because his father was visiting alongside his sister , Claire . Since the incident with Carina, Martins cut ties with his sister Claire not only because of her son , Luke but because she also masterminded the plan to kill Carina. “ Hey man “ Luke’s friend tapped him from behind and he turned to look at him . “ Hey , When did you arrive ?” Martins asked , His voice was calm , His face pale and his expression rather too depressing. “ Are you okay man ? You don’t look okay “ “ it’s nothing man , I just…. It’s Carina “ He managed to speak , he couldn’t hide it anymore. “ Why are you stressing it? It’s obvious she no longer wants you , it’s left for you to move in with your life , Your current mood is affecting your daily life and your business too … It’s unlike you to break down because of a woman” His intention was to make sure Martins was back on his feet but martins was too soake

After hanging up, I grabbed my phone to talk to Mandy, I needed her two cents on what to do. “ Mandy, What’s up, Can we talk, “ I said immediately after the call connected. “ Woah, Hold up, What’s with that voice?

Don’t tell me 𝐌𝐫 Blake is still causing trouble “ Mandy said with concern. “ Not really, Actually …It’s Martins “ I sighed. “ Martins? Didn’t you say you cut ties with him?” “ I did but he reached out to me, Actually something came up “ Mandy was going to react in some kind of way when she heard the circumstances around why Martin called. “ What is that ?”“ You know I told you about us faking a relationship and even distracting the attention from Luke and Nelly’s wedding to a fake engagement between the two of us “ I took a deep breath and continued. “ The thing is we told Martins's father that we will be getting married in a few weeks from now, The date

I couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity of his statement. "What do you know about tolerance, Luke? I stayed with you for ten years in an abusive marriage. Do you remember that?" I shot back, my voice steady and strong.Claire, never one to miss an opportunity to insult, chimed in. "You have some nerve, Carina."I turned to face her, my gaze unflinching.
