In the room, lying on the bed a little apathetic, Melissa took out her phone and looked at it.“Honey, the girl that the master of the Sanaga Villa wants to invite is not necessarily Sonia, the more proud she is now, the more embarrassing she will be that day,” Jack comforts her.“It doesn't matter what he wants to invite, it won't be me anyway. Don't talk about it anymore, it's boring,” says Melissa.Hearing what Melissa says, Jack stops talking, he wants to wait until the day of the antique exhibition to surprise Melissa.“Wow, this necklace is so beautiful,” says Melissa suddenly, while Jack makes the bed on the floor.A little curious, so he approaches her and takes a look at the screen of Melissa's mobile phone. He sees an exquisite labour necklace called "the Heart of Venus", which will be auctioned tomorrow.Jack has an idea: he plans to create a romantic place for Melissa on the day of the exhibition of antiques and to express his gratitude for the last three years, for the mo

The crowd in the Celestial Villa buzzed with anticipation. The auction had just concluded, but the night was far from over. Corecloud Company’s mysterious president had declared his intention to choose a Decastro woman for an exclusive dinner—a gesture that symbolized not just honor but the possibility of a significant partnership between Corecloud and the Decastro family.The condition was clear: the chosen woman had to be single.Sonia Decastro stood near the front of the grand hall, her crimson gown shimmering under the chandelier lights. Her expression exuded confidence, her every movement calculated to draw attention. She turned to her cousins, flashing a smug smile. And because she knew she was the prettiest of the Decastros and single.“It’s obviously going to be me,” she said, her voice dripping with certainty. “Who else could they possibly choose? Melissa? Don’t make me laugh.”Jeremy chuckled in agreement, his disdainful gaze landing on Melissa Thompson, their cousin. Meliss

Jack pedaled his bicycle slowly toward the Decastro estate, the cool night breeze brushing against his skin. The estate loomed ahead, its grand facade illuminated by golden lights, signaling the liveliness inside. He parked the bicycle discreetly near the side of the house and took a deep breath, preparing himself for the evening’s events.As Jack entered the house, the atmosphere inside was as vibrant as he had imagined. Melissa sat on the couch, radiant with excitement, recounting her evening to Cindy, who sat across from her, hanging on every word. Sonia and Jeremy lingered in the background, their sour expressions betraying their annoyance at the night’s events.“Jack!” Melissa called, her face lighting up when she saw him. “You’re finally here!”Jack offered her a warm smile as he stepped into the room. “Hey, Mel. Looks like I missed something big tonight.”“Oh, you have no idea!” Melissa replied, patting the space beside her. “Come sit, and I’ll tell you everything.”Jack moved

The morning sun cast a somber light over the Decastro estate, illuminating the grand hall where a tense gathering was about to take place. Master Decastro had summoned all members of the family, including their parents and extended relatives. His voice had been stern over the phone, and no one dared to defy him.Jack arrived on his bicycle with Melissa at the back, as always, his modest appearance contrasting sharply with the luxury cars parked in the driveway. He parked his bicycle discreetly and walked into the hall, his expression calm but alert. Melissa stood by his side, visibly uneasy. She could feel the weight of her family’s judgment before a word was even spoken.The room was filled with hushed whispers as Master Decastro entered, his presence commanding immediate silence. His piercing gaze swept over the assembled family members, lingering momentarily on Melissa and Jack. Beside him, Sonia and Jeremy stood smugly, their faces carefully masking their delight at the unfolding

The morning after the stolen watch incident felt unbearably heavy. Melissa hadn’t slept well, her mind consumed with the humiliation and injustice that had unfolded. Jack tried to reassure her, but even he could see the frustration boiling beneath her calm exterior. She wasn’t the type to let things go without a fight.“I can’t just sit here and do nothing,” Melissa said, pacing their small living room.Jack, leaning against the wall, arms crossed, watched her with quiet concern. “What do you plan to do?”Melissa stopped and looked at him. “I want to confront Master Decastro. I deserve to know why he’s shutting me out like this. And if he’s summoning the rest of the family today, then I should be there too.”Jack hesitated. He admired her resolve, but he knew this wouldn’t be easy. “Are you sure about this? You know how they are. They’ll twist everything to make it look worse for you.”“I don’t care,” Melissa snapped. “I’ve done too much for that company and this family to be treated
