"Thank you for helping me, Curtis. Now you can drop me off under the first bridge you find," said Ágata, looking out the window with regret."Don't say such nonsense, Ágata. If I didn't leave you at that motel, I'm certainly not going to leave you living on the street. You'll come with me to the Stanton mansion. That's still your home," Curtis said firmly.Ágata snorted, lowering her head and closing her eyes in deep regret."You're wrong, Curtis. I'm no longer a Stanton. I gave all that up when I relinquished my share of the inheritance," she said, keeping her eyes closed."You didn't know Prince Rick's intentions. No one did. The only traitor here is him," Curtis said, placing his hand on Ágata's shoulder to try to offer some comfort.Ágata quickly dodged his hand, pulling her shoulder away in fear, and looked him directly in the eyes with a frightened expression."Sorry, Curtis. I'm still very scared from everything I went through in that place," Ágata said, very embarrassed."Don'

"What the hell did you just say?" Carson asked, utterly bewildered.However, no one was as shaken as Amber. She felt her world had suffered a massive earthquake that shook everything."Just as you heard. Agatha and I are getting married. That way she will be entitled to fifty percent of my fortune," Curtis explained."I can't believe it," Ander said, astonished.Curtis took Agatha's hand and confidently led her to the long table."Agatha will marry me, thus regaining the Stanton surname, and as my wife, she will have every right to sit at the table like any of you," Curtis said and then kissed Agatha's hand.Agatha remained dismayed, her gaze easily drifting. It was not easy being rejected by the people she considered special.Curtis took her by the waist and smiled happily while Kim and Amber looked at him with disdain."That was my big reason to celebrate... Where's the toast?" Curtis asked mockingly, knowing everyone was uncomfortable with the union.Everyone was forced to raise th

The limousine stopped in front of Annie's house, and she stepped out slowly with her head down and a sad expression. She hugged herself as if she were suffering from extreme cold.The house lights turned on, and her father quickly came out to see what was happening. It was unusual for his daughter to be brought home by such an elegant car."Annie!" her father shouted as he rushed out of the house."Annie, really. It’s very important that you stay quiet. You can’t tell anyone about what you saw tonight," Ander warned once more.Ander whispered softly through the window to avoid being overheard by Annie's father. He knew that man would confront him again once he got close to the limousine."You again? What are you doing here? I thought I told you not to see my daughter again," Annie's father shouted angrily."Dad, please. Stop," Annie said, unable to hold back her tears in front of her father.This only agitated her father further, prompting him to continue confronting Ander."What the

Some weeks had passed since that day, and one morning, the day dawned quite cool with a radiant sun. It was the perfect morning to go for a walk. The birds were singing, and the flowers were opening their petals magnificently.Curtis was in his room getting ready to go to the company building to take care of some pending matters.He was buttoning the cuffs of his expensive and elegant suit. The days when he dressed like a beggar and everyone mocked his appearance were long gone. Now he was a recognized and respected magnate among the elite.Agatha bid him farewell with a huge and passionate kiss before leaving the room. She looked very happy and radiant. Somehow, Curtis had managed to bring back her shine."Do you have to leave so soon?" Agatha asked, hanging from the neck of her future husband."I'm really running late," Curtis said, looking at the time on the diamond watch on his wrist."What a shame. I wanted a little action in the jacuzzi," Agatha said playfully while running her

Ander woke up again in the middle of the night due to a horrible recurring nightmare that he had over and over again. Annie's face and voice tormented him during his dreams, preventing him from resting. Since it happened, Ander hadn't been able to sleep peacefully on any of the following nights."You're a damn coward," he told himself to gather the courage to go on with his life.His idea was to convince himself that he had chosen well by showing loyalty to Charles Ballmer. After all, Annie had brought that horrible end upon herself. However, the nightmares and the bitter taste in his mouth didn't go away with anything. Maybe it was something he had to learn to live with.The next day, everything returned to normal at the Stanton mansion. Beth walked proudly around the mansion, not missing any opportunity to rub her triumph in Curtis' face.However, Curtis was locked in his room with no desire to come out. He just stared out the window while everyone else enjoyed the pool. Maybe they
