"Dave, I noticed you saying goodbye to a lady in the car earlier. Who was she?"Dave took a deep breath, steadying his nerves. "Dad, her name is Alice. She's a close friend of mine, but she's much more than that. I love her, Dad. I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I want to marry her."His father's eyes widened with surprise, a mix of emotions crossing his face. "Dave, this is unexpected news. Tell me more about Alice. How did she capture your heart?"Dave's face lit up as he began to share his story. "Have you forgotten her so easily? You're a friend of his dad, and we met at the grand party. We had an instant connection, and from that moment on, I knew there was something special about her.She's kind, compassionate, and fiercely intelligent. Spending time with her is like being in a world of endless possibilities, and she brings out the best in me."Mr. President listened intently, absorbing every word his son spoke. The joy and sincerity in Dave's voice were undeniable,

Rodriguez was excited to talk to his mom about the recent meeting with the wealthy men.Isabella eagerly sat down beside him and was ready to hear what his brother had to say."Didn't you tell me you're having a night party with your friends? Madam Veronica curiously asked her daughter.No, Mom, time is not due." I called Alice, and she told me she just got home after coming from shopping with her close friend. Isabella said."I knew you would come around when I'm back to tell Mom how cool your crush is." Rodriguez teased."Mom, warn your son, please; I don't like what he's doing, and Dave or whatever is not my crush.""Isabella, tell me if you love him; stop pretending." Rodriguez said it again in a mocking tone. ""I'm fed up with this; I can't sit here for you to tease me."Isabella said this and walked away from the living room."She's gone now, Mom, let's continue.'Rodriguez said this and started to speak about Dave and the presidential meeting he had attended. Rodriguez couldn'

Dave was getting ready for a party. He stood before his mirrored closet, weighing his outfit options.Would he go for something casual and comfortable or dress to impress with his favorite blazers and dress shoes? As he pondered, his phone buzzed on the table.He turned to check it, sweeping strands of dark hair out of his eyes. The screen lit up with Amelia's sweet face.Dave's heart raced as he reached for his phone, flipping it open. "Hey, Amelia!" he exclaimed. "What's up"I just wanted to see if you're still coming tonight," she replied, her voice musical and light."Of course! I've been excited for this all week," Dave replied, his smile widening."Good," Amelia said, laughing. "I already have my dress picked out. I hope you're ready for some serious dancing.Dave chuckled. "Oh, I'm ready, all right. You won't be able to get me off that dance floor."Great. See you in a few hours, Dave"See you then," Dave responded, feeling a bit lighter as he set the phone down. Talking to Ame

Ethan had been enjoying his peaceful slumber in the comfortable hotel bed when the loud chiming of the clock rudely awakened him.He groggily rubbed his eyes, trying to bring himself to full consciousness.As he stretched and yawned, his mind slowly processed the fact that it was time for him to get up and start his day.With a big sigh, Ethan dragged himself out of bed and shuffled over to the bathroom.He turned on the tap and let the warm water fill up the bathtub, the sound of the gushing water soothing his tired nerves.He added a few drops of scented bath oil to the tub and took a deep breath, the aroma filling his nostrils.As he slipped into the soapy water, Ethan let out a contented sigh, the sensation of the warm water enveloping his body like a comforting hug.He closed his eyes and let his thoughts drift away as he soaked in the serenity of the moment.After a few minutes of luxuriating in the bath, Ethan reluctantly rose from the water and toweled himself dry.He walked o

Alexander stared at Ethan for a long moment before turning and walking out of the room, he closed the door behind him with a resounding click.Ethan jumped onto the couch, his mind reeling. He knew he'd made the right decision, but it was still terrifying to stand up to his own blood like that.He sat there for a long while, the night growing darker and quieter around him. As he sat there, he realized that he didn't want anything to do with his uncle anymore. "How can I kill the president? Dave doesn't owe me anything, and besides, he's jovial." He muttered to himself.Again, Ethan realized how dangerous his Uncle was; Alexander could kill him if he disobeyed what he said."Damn, how could he put me in such a mess? After secretly killing my parents, you want to use me for another murder." Ethan yelled and hit his hands on the couch. He was seething in anger, and fear gripped him again.He quickly got up, looked for his phone, and decided to call Rodriguez."Pick up, Rodriguez."He said
