The lunch rush had taken over the restaurant.The dining area buzzed with conversations, laughter, and the constant clinking of cutlery against ceramic plates. Waiters hurried between tables carrying steaming dishes while customers patiently waited for fresh orders to arrive."Table seven needs another seafood pasta!""One grilled chicken coming up!""Chef, two more orders!"The kitchen was just as lively.Heat rose from the stoves, spices filled the air, and every staff member moved with practiced efficiency.I wiped the sweat from my forehead with the back of my wrist before stirring another pot.Business has been unbelievably good these past few weeks.Ever since the restaurant reopened, customers kept returning, bringing along friends and family. Every day was busier than the last.It was exhausting.But it was the kind of exhaustion that made me smile.Jessica had flown out of the country three days ago after landing a major role in an international film. She called whenever she

Amara's POVSaturday mornings were supposed to be peaceful.Mine never were.The restaurant had been unusually busy throughout the week, which meant I had spent most of Friday night checking inventory, balancing expenses, and planning the menu for the coming week. Even after waking up that morning, my mind was still occupied with suppliers, staff schedules, and whether we needed to order more fresh vegetables before Monday.I had barely settled at the dining table with my notebook when I heard hurried footsteps racing down the stairs."Amara!"Adrian's excited voice echoed through the house before he appeared, El close behind him.Both children looked far too energetic for eight o'clock in the morning."What happened?" I asked."We're going to the festival today!"I blinked."We are?""Yes!"I looked from Adrian to El before raising an eyebrow."Who said so?"Adrian suddenly became very interested in the floor."Nobody...""So why are you dressed like you're about to leave?"His grin

Amara pov:I returned to Ethan's office, hugging the lunchbox close to my chest.The office was even bigger than I remembered.Everything was neat, modern, and ridiculously expensive.Just looking around made me feel small.Then I remembered something Maya had told me one evening."Every CEO has a private room hidden somewhere inside their office. It's for resting when they work overtime."Curiosity got the better of me.I began looking around until my fingers brushed against what looked like part of the wall.Click.A hidden door slowly opened."So there really is one..."I stepped inside and quietly shut the door behind me.The room wasn't very large, but it was cozy.There was a king-sized bed neatly made with dark gray sheets, a wardrobe, a small refrigerator, a bookshelf, and a coffee machine.It almost looked like a miniature apartment.My curiosity wandered to the wardrobe.I slowly pulled the doors open.One side was filled with Ethan's neatly arranged suits and casual clothes

Ethan's POV"...Why did you lead me on...?"Her weak fists landed on my chest one after another."I thought... I thought we were a thing..."Each word pierced deeper than a knife."You already have someone in your heart..."Tears streamed down her flushed cheeks."So... why?"I tightened my hold around her trembling body as I carried her toward my car."No, little woman..." I whispered, my voice barely audible. "You've misunderstood."She didn't hear me.Or perhaps she couldn't.Her consciousness drifted in and out, clouded by whatever those bastards had forced into her body.She buried her face against my chest, sobbing."It hurts..."My heart clenched."I know.""It hurts so much...""I'm here now.""I don't want to lose you...""You won't."She continued crying until her voice became hoarse.Behind us—"Boss!"One of the kidnappers suddenly shoved a guard aside and bolted toward the forest surrounding the deserted road.He had almost disappeared into the darkness.Bang!A single gu

Albert's POVI reached for the door.My fingers had barely touched the handle when I heard her voice from inside."Ethan..."I froze.There was something different about the way she said my name.Weak.Uncertain.Almost frightened.I slowly lowered my hand."There's something I need to tell you."My heart stopped.For a moment, I couldn't breathe.What did she know?Had someone told her?Had Liam's investigation already been exposed?Or had she somehow discovered the truth about the accident?My mind raced through every possibility.I pushed the door open.Amara was sitting against the headboard, a blanket pulled around her shoulders.Her face was pale.Her hair was slightly messy, and dark circles rested beneath her eyes.But she was awake.The moment she saw me, something in her expression softened."Ethan."I stepped inside and quietly closed the door behind me."How are you feeling?"She stared at me for a few seconds before answering."Better."Her voice was still weak.I walked
