After several hours of flying, Vere woke to the soft, professional voice of a flight attendant announcing their arrival at the California airport. He opened the window shade and gazed at the bright Californian sky, feeling an overwhelming sense of relief. “Finally,” he whispered to himself, “I’m here, Olivia.” A small smile crossed his lips, knowing that soon he would see her again. He could already imagine her surprise and the happiness his presence would bring. With renewed determination, he gathered his belongings and disembarked the plane, his heart racing with anticipation.Outside the terminal, Vere hailed an Uber and instructed the driver to take him to Olivia’s address. The drive took around thirty minutes, but to Vere, it felt like an eternity. To distract himself, he pulled his phone from his pocket and noticed several missed calls from an unknown number. He frowned. “Who could this be?” he wondered aloud. But he quickly dismissed the thought. “The only call I care about is

Yesterday was a momentous day for Vere as he finally achieved his lifelong dream of reclaiming his company. After years of struggle, betrayal, and relentless effort, Fuentes Company was finally his once again. However, as he sat on the couch in his luxurious mansion, instead of feeling overwhelming joy, his mind was burdened with concern. His heart was heavy, and his thoughts were consumed by Olivia’s condition.Grabbing his mobile phone, he dialed Olivia’s number once more. Since yesterday, he had been desperately trying to reach her, eager to share the news about the successful acquisition of his beloved company. But each time, he was met with the same voicemail message: “I'm unavailable.” The robotic tone of her voice message only deepened his anxiety. He had called her multiple times the previous night, hoping she would pick up, but to no avail.Although he had accomplished one of the greatest victories of his life, a shadow of sadness loomed over him. He knew that Olivia had been

The day after tomorrow marked the moment Vere had been waiting for the day he would finally meet with James to discuss the arrangements for buying the company. It was a day that held significant weight in Vere's life, a culmination of preparation, planning, and persistence. That morning, Vere and Ronnie woke up unusually early, eager to go over a few details before the meeting. The two greeted each other as they found themselves awake at the same time."Are you ready and excited?" Ronnie asked, breaking the morning silence."Yes, Ronnie," Vere replied with a confident smile. "Finally, this is the plan I’ve been waiting to execute my entire life. It means a lot to me.""I know, Mr. Wayne," Ronnie said, sharing in the excitement. "I’m thrilled as well. Today is going to be a great day because I know you’ll finally reclaim what’s rightfully yours. James and his bosses won’t own the company anymore."Ronnie paused for a moment before continuing. "By the way, Mr. Wayne, James messaged me l

Meanwhile, in the midst of their conversation, Vere was about to reveal his true identity and answer Ronnie's question when suddenly, his phone rang. Their discussion came to an abrupt halt as Vere glanced at the screen and answered the call."Excuse me, Ronnie, I have to take this. It's Olivia calling," Vere said, stepping away towards the pool."Hello, Olivia.""Hey Wayne, how's everything?" Olivia's voice came through, sounding slightly strained."All is good here. As I told you before, Ronnie is someone we can trust," Vere replied, his eyes scanning the pool's still waters. "We were just discussing our plans for the upcoming meeting with Mr. James.""Oh, okay. I'm happy to hear that," Olivia said. "If you need anything, just give me a call, okay?"As the conversation continued, Vere noticed something unusual in Olivia's tone. She sounded weak, distant. Concerned, he asked, "Olivia, are you okay?"There was a brief silence before Olivia sighed and replied, "Actually... not really.

The following morning, Vere woke up with a start. His mind was already racing, preparing for the monumental day ahead. He dressed quickly and made his way downstairs. As he entered the dining area, he saw Ronnie sitting at the table, sipping his coffee in quiet contemplation."Hey, morning," Ronnie greeted, a casual smile on his face."Coffee?" he offered with a gesture to the steaming cup in front of him."Yes, sure, thanks," Vere replied, a slight smile curving his lips. He walked over, took a seat, and reached for the cup. The warmth of the coffee did little to calm the storm of thoughts swirling in his head.The silence between them was comfortable at first, but it didn’t take long before they both began discussing the meeting that awaited them the following day."Are you excited?" Ronnie asked, looking up from his cup, a slight gleam of curiosity in his eyes."Yes, I am," Vere replied, his gaze steady. "This is the biggest moment of my life. I've been waiting for this for years."

Two weeks later, Vere had just returned from his trip to Italy, he was back home. Ronnie, ever the loyal assistant, was waiting for him at the airport to give him a warm welcome. As soon as Vere stepped off the plane, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief and happiness. He muttered to himself, “Finally, I’m back, and I’m so happy to be home.”He glanced around and spotted Ronnie, who waved energetically at him. It was clear from the expression on Ronnie’s face that he was just as happy to see Vere again.“Hey, welcome back, Mr. Wayne! Glad to see you again,” Ronnie greeted him enthusiastically as he approached.Vere smiled, feeling the familiar comfort of his right-hand man’s presence. “Thank you, Ronnie. How was your vacation, Mr. Wayne? I’m sure you enjoyed the time off. You deserved it,” Ronnie added, his tone sincere.Vere chuckled softly. “Yes, you’re right. It was great to take a break from everything, but I’m happy to be back.”The two of them made their way to the car, a
