"Just name the price, or if necessary, I’ll leave my ID as collateral," Mark said, still trying to convince the girl.Mark could’ve asked another rider for help, but borrowing from someone he knew made him feel more at ease.Biana didn’t respond and pretended not to hear his request. She turned her head away indifferently, started her motorbike, and prepared to leave. But before she could, Mark quickly said, "This involves your best friend, too."The girl’s head snapped toward him in panic. “What happened to Amora?”“It’s a long story. I need to catch up with my boss right now,” Mark replied, gesturing for Biana to get off her bike as he handed her a few bills.Biana hesitated, still doubting his brief explanation and suspecting that Mark might be lying again.‘Hah! Does he think I’ll fall for it again?’ Biana grumbled internally."Miss? Is this not enough?" Mark asked impatiently, feeling the pressure of time. But Biana stayed silent, ignoring his request. Finally, Mark decided to lo

“Look at you ... You’re so good at dancing. Who said they couldn’t dance earlier, hmm?”Noel teased Amora with a playful smile as he guided her steps in the dance. Their movements matched perfectly with the soft melody of the piano filling the air.“Well, it’s been so long since I last danced. It’s natural for me to feel unsure,” Amora replied, trying to justify herself.A warm smile lingered on Noel’s lips. From the corner of his eye, he noticed the admiring gazes of others directed at him, but he paid them no mind.At this moment, he focused entirely on the woman who had captured his heart long ago. The closeness between them, their hands lightly touching, made Noel’s heart race.Still, Noel managed to keep his composure, savoring the rare moment. Amora, on the other hand, appeared visibly nervous.She occasionally returned his gaze and gave him shy, awkward smiles before quickly lowering her eyes again. Amora’s left hand rested on his right shoulder, while her right hand was gently

"Well? Is she in there?"Noel’s face was a mix of panic and concern as he watched Estelle walk out of the women’s restroom alone. His anxious eyes searched her face as she shook her head slightly.“Are you sure?” Noel asked again, seeking further confirmation.It had been over fifteen minutes since Amora said she was heading to the restroom, and she still hadn’t returned. Noel had even called the number he’d recently gotten from her, but his calls went unanswered.Finally, Noel decided to check the women’s restroom. Standing outside, he called her name, but there was no response. Feeling it was inappropriate for him to enter, Noel enlisted Estelle’s help to check inside.“I’ve checked every stall, even knocked on the doors,” Estelle reported. She understood Noel’s worry because she was feeling the same unease.“Amora, where could you possibly be?” Noel muttered with a heavy sigh.“Are you sure she said she was going to the restroom?” Estelle asked for clarification.Noel nodded.“Did

"Mommyyyy!"Billie’s wailing grew louder. The little boy sat on the floor, holding his broken lollipop, tears streaming down his face after a tumble.Estelle approached him, helping him up gently. She brushed the dust off his small knees, cleaned his dirty little hands, and blew on them softly.“Mommy…” Billie continued crying, calling for his mother.Estelle crouched to meet his eye level. “Do you know where your mommy is, sweetheart?”Without hesitation, Billie pointed with his tiny finger. All eyes followed the direction of his finger, landing on Chelsea, Gilbert Rowan’s fiancée, who stood frozen in place, her face pale.“W-who’s your mommy? Don’t just point at anyone!” Chelsea stammered, panic creeping into her voice.But Billie didn’t understand her words. Instead, he ran toward her. “Mommy, my lollipop fell,” he whined, tears flowing freely.Chelsea’s teeth clenched audibly. Her face turned crimson, and her eyes darted nervously around the room as murmurs began to spread among t

"Mommy ...." Billie Baker was still crying.The boy only heard the mocking call to his mother, unable to understand what was happening in front of his eyes. Especially since his mother had no intention of offering him a hug to calm him down.Most people felt sympathy for Billie, the innocent child who had become a victim of his parents' selfishness.Estelle asked Gino to take the boy out of the room. She didn’t want him to witness any more of Chelsea’s wrongdoings.The video call from Andrew Baker had ended. Albert had disconnected the call after the man completed his mission.Meanwhile, Gilbert Rowan, who had heard all the terrible things about his fiancée, stood frozen. The man was completely in shock."Chelsea, is everything he said true?" Gilbert Rowan hissed, feeling incredibly foolish for being deceived by his fiancée.Now, Gilbert understood why Chelsea had been in such a rush to get engaged to him; she must have had an ulterior motive. He suspected that the woman was after the
