Eva cleared her throat, "Ivan, I know that you are angry at me. You might not even want to talk to me. First, I want to apologize for keeping it away from you. You deserved to know, and I made a mistake."She glanced at him and was satisfied when he gave her listening ears.She continued, "My father wanted me to get married to him for business purposes, and I was not in agreement with them. On the day of the wedding, I ran away, and my father disowned me. I relocated to Spain and tried to live again, hoping that I would find a way to contact you. I tried to move on, but it was hard to do so.""I met Quinn at the company where I worked, and that was how I knew you were in Houston. Every time you talk to her, I wish I could tell her to hand over the phone to me to speak with you, but I was too ashamed to even say anything. I didn't mean to make you feel worthless at all. I don't know if you have moved on already, but I just want to say that I missed you so much." She concluded, letting

Eva wore a gloomy face as she walked beside Quinn to the CEO's office to submit her resignation letter.It was not news to the CEO that she was resigning, as they had had a deal. She walked inside, her heels resounding in the office. As soon as she reached the table, she shoved the envelope slowly on the table."RESIGNATION LETTER" was boldly written on it.The CEO raised his head and looked at her. He had a smile on his face, as he took the envelope, and tore it open.He took out the paper, and then brought out his pen, and signed below the letter."It was a pleasure to meet you, Senorita Ro. I do not ever regret working with you. I hope we make good partners now and in the future," Mr. Ingot said, stretching his hand for a handshake.She smiled at him, "gracias, senor. I'm grateful for all your assistance."After that, she left for her office to pack. As she placed the big carton box on the table, slowly taking everything that belonged to her, she reminisced about when she started
FROM STREETS TO SUITES Telling Grandfather.
"What are you talking about?" The old man asked, wearing a frown on his face.George turned immediately to her, "what? What are you saying? How can you say you are the CEO of Ro Groups? Are you dreaming?"Quinn chuckled. She knew George would try to say something about it."Let's say I am not the CEO of Ro Groups. Can you tell us who the CEO of Ro Groups is? I'm not sure it is you," Quinn said, giving him an expression that she knew what he did."Quinn, what are you talking about? What do you mean by George is not the CEO of Ro Groups?" He asked, obviously looking confused.He turned to George, "What is she talking about?""Grandfather, do not mind Quinn. You know so well that she has always wanted to take over the company. This is nothing but a fabricated lie!" He whined, darting his eyes between his grandfather and Quinn.There was a sense of confusion, as Mr. Ro did not know who to believe, or who was telling the truth.He looked at Quinn, and then at George. The more he thought ab
FROM STREETS TO SUITES Welcome, Chairwoman Quinn.
"Quinn!" Vera yelled, as soon as she opened the door.She had no idea when they planned to come back, so she was not expecting them to be the ones at the door.The moment she saw Quinn, she jumped on her like she was her lifesaver, causing the bag she held to slip and fall."I've missed you so much!" She said, releasing her from her embrace. "Are you back to Florida or did you just come to visit?" She asked."I'm back in Florida now," Quinn responded, wearing a huge smile on her face.It had been months since she last saw Vera, and she could not explain how much she had missed her.She stared at her face, as though there was something different from the face she used to know."Did you forget me here or did it look like only Quinn came back," he paused, "or am I just too invisible for you to see?" Ivan cleared his throat, addressing the questions at Vera.She turned to him, "Oh, Ivan! You are here, I didn't know.""What? I was literally standing next to Quinn. You even pushed me while
FROM STREETS TO SUITES First Meeting As The CEO.
She walked past him and got into the elevator. Of course, she knew that her words had struck a chord and he would be more careful with his choice of words with her.She gave him one last look as the elevator closed. As soon as it closed, she heaved out a long sigh and leaned on the wall of the elevator.He was the last person she wanted to meet that day, but unfortunately, she did. She did not mind. As long as she was strong enough not to let any of them bully her again, she was ready to face them.Moving into the office, it seemed like Ivan had everything ready for her. The office was redecorated to her taste, just like the way she wanted.She smiled at how thoughtful Ivan was and made her way to the table. She stared at the name on the table that was inscribed in a glass solid case of black and yellow."Quinn P. Rodriguez, CEO, Ro Groups." That was exactly what was written on it. She caressed it and moved to the leather swivel chair. She sat on it and realized how comfy it was.On

"Argh! Today was hectic, George is really lazy, you know? I cannot believe he did not review all those documents in the office, and he called himself a CEO," she complained, taking off her shoes as she entered inside to find Ivan in the sitting room."How was work?" She added."Work was fine, I will be transferred to the branch in Spain." He said, wearing a smile, as he thought of the possibility of meeting Eva again."Oh, that's great! So, you are going to meet your lover again. How interesting! I'm sure you would not want to come back again," she teased, and all he did was chuckle."So, what happened today at the office? Tell me every single thing," he said, sitting up to listen to her.She sighed, "Well, the staff there seems new. I could only recognize a few faces, but I'm sure they won't recognize mine. I met Mr. Hardy, and he sent his regards, though. I'm surprised that he is still working in the company. I thought by now, he should have resigned or something.""That's Mr. Hardy

Her position as the CEO had made the company begin to see progress. Not only that, the investors that promised to invest in her company did not fail to keep to their promise.They had a few meetings, and most of them invested in her company. The last company that was supposed to partner with hers to make their company stand out was Ingot Inc.Mr. Ingot had sent his wife as a representative to represent the company in Florida. As the meeting was about to begin, the door flew open, revealing Harrison.Quinn frowned, wondering what Harrison was doing in Ro Groups. Although she had questions, she kept them in, hoping to ask them after the meeting.Throughout the meeting, Harrison's gaze was on her, which made her feel uncomfortable. Seeing his presence alone made her heartbeat increase.She felt some butterflies in her belly when he walked in, in his white shirt and black two-piece suit.She could not deny that he was really handsome, and looked like a model, but she was not supposed to b

"I know you are happy to go to Spain. I feel so jealous right now. I know you won't miss me," Quinn stated, accompanying him to the airport. "Oh, c'mon. You know I will definitely miss you. Besides, I'm not going for any vacation. I'm going there to work." Ivan countered. She playfully hit his arm, "we both know that that is a lie. I can only imagine how your face was when your boss told you that you would be going to Spain." There was a short silence, before she added, "Well, it's for the best. At least, you will be able to see her and fix your relationship with her. You two really have a long way to go." "How about you? Won't you find someone to make a partner?" He asked. "Me? I don't need a partner. I'm fine that way." Ivan sighed, "The one for you will surely come." "Passengers leaving for Madrid, Spain, your flight will take off in ten minutes." Quinn turned to Ivan, "I wish you could stay in Florida, and help me with the company, but I know that your work in Spain is more

Yours, Forever.
Harrison stood outside the hospital. The air was filled with the scent of freedom and relief, at last.It had been some depressing and stressful months. But tonight was different. Tonight, he felt lighter, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.The glass doors of the hospital slid open, and Harrison walked out, his tall frame silhouetted against the bright lights of the lobby. Harrison took a deep breath and stepped forward to Ivan. For a moment, neither of them spoke, the silence was eerie. Then, Harrison broke it."Ivan," he began, his voice steady, "I know I hurt Quinn. I know I messed up in ways I can't even begin to describe. But... I’m truly sorry."Ivan’s gaze was hard as he studied Harrison, his eyes searching for sincerity. Then, with a slow, deliberate nod, he replied, "I believe you, Harrison. And I can see how much you love my sister. Just... don’t make me regret this."Relief flooded through Harrison, and without thinking, he extended his hand. After a b
Death.
The night air was thick with tension. Harrison stood firm, his gaze locked with Jacob’s as they faced off under the dim glow of the moonlight. Jacob’s eyes gleamed with a dangerous glint, a crazed smile twitching at the corners of his lips.“So, you want one of us to die, huh?” Harrison’s voice was steady, though his heart raced wildly in his chest. “You think that’s the only way this ends?”Jacob nodded slowly, his smile widening. “Oh, I know it is. One must die for the other to live, Harrison. No way out of that. And you, Harrison, will die.”Quinn stood behind Harrison, her entire body shaking as she watched the two men. The man she loved and the man who had traumatized her in the past.Tears streamed down her cheeks as fear coiled in her stomach like a venomous snake.“Please, stop this,” she begged, her voice breaking. “Both of you, just—”Jacob laughed, a hollow, chilling sound that cut through her plea like a blade. “No more running, no more hiding. Let’s settle this once and
Back Door And Race.
The aftermath of the explosion left a thick cloud of smoke and dust settling in the air just outside the house. Harrison grabbed Quinn's hand, pulling her close as they stumbled backwards, away from the shattered window. He looked at Quinn, panic etched into his face as the sound of the phone ringing pierced through the chaos. It was Jacob again.Quinn’s eyes widened with fear as she realized how serious Jacob was. Her body trembled, and she screamed, covering her ears, trying to block out the shackles collapsing around her. Harrison watched her, his heart aching at her terror. He pulled her close, whispering reassurances, but his own fear was evident.Jacob’s voice on the other end was disturbingly calm, a contrast to the chaos he had just unleashed. “I’m warning you. Involve the police, and you’ll face more than just an explosion.”Harrison’s jaw tightened as he gripped the phone. “What do you want, Jacob?” he demanded.“I only want Quinn,” Jacob replied coolly. “And I’m giving y
Truth And Explosion.
Harrison’s voice was calm, yet filled with remorse as he recounted the painful memories that had tormented him for years. He hesitated before speaking again, his gaze fixed on the floor, avoiding Quinn’s eyes.“I’ve been carrying this guilt for a long time,” he began quietly, “ever since Stella… I wasn’t ready to be a father. I didn’t know how to deal with the situation or how to support her the way she deserved. I was reckless, neglectful even, and I regret every moment of it.”Quinn remained silent, her expression unreadable. Despite her efforts to maintain her composure, her heart tightened with sympathy and confusion.Harrison took a deep breath, exhaling slowly as if releasing a burden that had been suffocating him. “I remember that day like it was yesterday,” he continued, his voice trembling slightly. “Stella and I had an argument that morning. It wasn’t anything serious, just about trivial things and then she left the house. I didn’t think much of it. I saw her hurry up, head
Tell Me.
The drive to Quinn’s secluded apartment was silent. Ivan’s eyes stayed locked on the road, his knuckles white against the steering wheel. Beside him, Eva cradled baby Eric, her gaze drifting between the passing scenery and her husband’s hardened profile. Harrison, unbeknownst to Ivan, had followed secretly from a distance. He trailed their car cautiously, never letting it out of his sight.Quinn’s apartment was a small cottage, nestled in a deserted outskirt of the city. It was the perfect hideaway, but the isolation only made her feel more hurt. It had been almost a week since she had spoken to anyone other than her doctor and Ivan.See was not ready to see anyone, especially not her brother, but she knew they would come sooner or later.When she saw Ivan’s car pull up outside, she took a deep breath, bracing herself for what was sure to be an emotional encounter.“Quinn,” Eva greeted softly as she stepped inside, carrying baby Eric in her arms. She smiled gently, trying to mask h
Only Hope.
Harrison paced back and forth in his apartment, his phone gripped tightly in his hand. He had tried calling Quinn multiple times, only to be met with silence. Each unanswered call, each unread message fueled his frustration. He couldn’t get through to Ivan either. Everyone seemed to have locked him out. The only person he could think of now, the only one who might listen was Eva.His finger moved over her number. He knew calling her was risky. She was, after all, Ivan’s wife. But he was desperate. He needed someone to hear him out before everything goes out of control.Taking a deep breath, he pressed the call button. The phone rang twice before he heard her soft voice on the other end.“Harrison?” Eva sounded surprised. “Is everything okay?”“Eva, please—I need to see you,” he blurted out, his voice laced with desperation. “Just for a few minutes. It’s important.”She hesitated, her silence making him worried. “I don’t know, Harrison. Ivan wouldn’t like it if he found out we met.”
My Turn.
Harrison sat in the dark, his hands buried in his hair as he stared at the blinking phone screen. Quinn’s voice replayed in his mind, cold and distant.“Never call me again.”The four words had shattered him, and now he felt the pang of every secret he had kept from her. Jasmine stood beside him, her expression torn between anger and pity.“It’s not the end of the world, Harrison,” Jasmine murmured, reaching out to place a hand on his shoulder. “Quinn is angry, but if you explain—”“Explain?” Harrison cut her off, his voice laced with a bitterness that surprised even himself. “Explain what, Jasmine? That I’m a coward who let Jacob control me? That I was too scared to tell the woman I love about something that could destroy her trust in me forever?”Jasmine’s gaze softened. “It wasn’t your fault, Harrison. What happened to Stella and the baby was an accident. You know that. She knows that.”“But she doesn’t know!” Harrison exclaimed, his frustration spilling over. He stood abruptly, kn

Running Away.
Quinn’s heart felt like it had been shattered into a thousand pieces as she sped away from Harrison’s office. The images, the recordings, Jacob’s smug grin...everything played on repeat in her mind. Harrison’s face as she confronted him was burned into her memory, and it only deepened her pain. How could he have kept something like this from her? How could he have betrayed her trust so completely?When she finally pulled into Ivan’s house, she barely had the strength to get out of the car. She didn’t even need to knock before the door flew open, revealing Ivan’s concerned face. He must have known something was wrong the moment she locked herself up all night.“Princess,” he mouthed, his eyes scanning her tear-streaked face. “What happened?”Quinn’s composure broke as she launched herself into his arms, sobs racking her body. Ivan held her tight, his jaw clenched in silent fury. Whatever had caused this, he knew it had something to do with Harrison. His mind raced, imagining a hund
