I’d gathered that Savana, David’s eldest daughter, was married to Lore. Lore, of all people. The man who was known for being a beast. A lore like his name. How awful must her life be? I moved into the washroom, changed into my usual sports bra and shorts, tied my hair into a high ponytail, and walked back into the room. It was weird how silent everything was. Ros would usually be here before me, but she was running late today.

That afternoon, Mavric came home early. He found Liora in the library, surrounded by stacks of books on fashion history and patent law. The sight surprised him. Liora didn’t look like a lazy “kept wife”; she looked like a general planning war strategy. “You’re serious about taking down Victoria?” Mavric asked, leaning against the doorframe.

I understand and I think it's good news, sir. May I ask a question? - No. We're finished. Go to your room and then you will receive further instructions. The meeting ended quickly after the chief's last words. Finally Maria de la Cruz went to her room and asked for a book to read and entertain herself, as she couldn't have a cell phone or anything technological to make contact with the social world, Rosa was really very kind and brought her a very interesting book by "Isabel Allende, La Isla Bajo El Mar", with this excellent literature

The word feels way too sentimental for what sits on the table between us. The documents are placed in front of us, the stack thick enough to make my stomach tighten. I didn't expect so many pages. I tell myself it is standard, that wealthy families always complicate things with paperwork, but as I look down at the dense text, I can't ignore the feeling that this is more contract than marriage... Mr Whitmore clears his throat lightly. “I will read the key terms aloud before we proceed with signatures.” Stephano leans back slightly in his chair, one arm resting along the armrest, his expression bored as he stares at Mr Whitmore while his parents remain calm and observant.

"She orchestrated it all." Marie nodded solemnly, her eyes filled with remorse for her role in Lilia's twisted schemes. "Yes, Senator. I'm afraid so." Marie then started to tell Hideous everything.

Hideous asked, his voice laced with incredulity. "And she made her sell drugs? How could she do such things to my own daughter?"

Matteo, the leader of the Mafia Il Diamante cartel in Sicily, is known to be overprotective and strict about the rules for his two children. “Principessa, the boss' rules are fixed. You know that, right? It is unlikely that the boss will agree to your wishes.” Juan straightforwardly broke the Birthday Girl's hopes. The light brown eyes widened and stared intently at those blue eyes which crushed her last hope of persuading her beloved papa once again. “Argh… leave me alone now, Juan! Your hospitality is just fake.” The girl's fist tightened again and her voice grew cold.
