Are you okay?"Michael, appreciating her presence, replied, "It's a mess, Liv. Let's talk inside."As they entered, Emily, Michael's sister, caught wind of Olivia's arrival and descended the stairs to join them. "Olivia, thank goodness you're here. Did you hear what they're saying about Michael?"Olivia, embracing Emily in a hug, responded, "Yeah, it's all over the news. I don't believe it for a second, though."Michael, grateful for Olivia's support, added, "I've got too many enemies, Liv. It might be better if we don't see each other for a while."Olivia, defiant, shook her head. "No way, Michael. I'm not leaving your side. We'll face this together.""Thank you, Liv. I really apprec

149Michael maintained his composure, yet held firm. "We have done nothing wrong. Asking us to leave without cause is discrimination."The boss frowned. "Sir, I don't want any trouble. Please cooperate or I'll call security." Olivia protested angrily. "How dare you side with those prejudice bigots! We have a right to dine without harassment."The arrogant couple watched on smugly as tension mounted. Olivia seethed, "Look at them grinning like snakes - they're loving every minute of this."Michael took her hand reassuringly. "Liv, our worth isn't defined by their narrow minds. Let's continue our meal in peace."The boss interjected impatiently. "I won't ask again. Leave now or security will remove you by force." Michael replied calmly. "We refuse to leave unfairly. If necessary, security can explain their trespassing to the police."The boss exhaled exasperatedly. "So be it.

"Well, my love, sometimes justice is best served with a side of revenge."Olivia's curiosity got the better of her. "But seriously, Michael, what do you actually do for a living? You always seem to have a plan."Michael smirked playfully. "Ah, Liv, some secrets are best left untold. Let's just say I have my ways of righting wrongs and leaving a mark on those who deserve it."Olivia pouted, pretending to be offended. "Oh, come on! You can't leave me hanging like that. I'm your partner in crime, remember?"He leaned in, whispering in her ear, "I promise, my love, one day I'll reveal all my secrets to you. But for now, let's focus on enjoying

Any comments on that?" another pressed.Before Michael could answer, Robert stepped forward. "The truth prevailed as we knew it would. Congratulations, Michael.""Thank you, Robert. I must admit, I didn't expect such an outcome either," Michael responded with a smile.Robert chuckled. "You've always had a talent for beating the odds.

"We won't let them win."Michael nodded, a faint smile on his face. "I know it won't be easy, but I promise you, Olivia, I'll take care of all the reconstruction work."Olivia squeezed his hand, gratitude shining in her eyes. "You don't have to do it all alone, Michael. I can afford to contribute as well. We're in this together."Michael's smile widened, touched by Olivia's support. "Thank you, Olivia. But this is my way of making amends too. It's partly because of me that there was this fire. I want to take responsibility and make things right."Just then, Michael's phone buzzed, indicating an incoming call. It was his lawyer, Paul Griffin. Michael answered, his voice filled with anticipation. "Hello, Paul. What's the latest?"Paul's voice was serious but tinged with a hint of excitement. "Michael, t

Life seemed perfect - his father was healthy, the company thriving, and his love for Olivia deeper than ever. Tonight, he planned to take their relationship to the next level. After work, Michael drove them to their favorite spot overlooking the city. A picnic dinner was laid out as the sun set over the horizon, bathing them in a glow of warmth.Michael gazed deeply into Olivia's eyes. "Liv, I still remember the first time I saw you, a year ago at that coffee shop. You were yelling so ferociously on the phone, and even though you pushed me away at first, something about your spirit drew me in."Olivia gave a watery laugh. "I was always feisty, even then. But you wore me down with that handsome smile of yours," she teased. "When you told me what Maxwell was doing, threatening and blackmailing you, I felt such rage," Michael continued, his eyes darkening briefly

The next day, Michael, now fully aware of his responsibilities, took center stage at the press conference. Reporters gathered, cameras flashing, as he faced the daunting task of addressing not only his father's disappearance but also his unexpected inheritance of the conglomerate.Michael began, "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining me today. As many of you are aware, my father, Edward Ventura, has been missing for the past three days. It is a challenging time for our family, and we appreciate your support during this difficult period."Questions flew from the reporters, probing into the circumstances and expressing condolences. Michael, composed yet vulnerable, answered with sincerity. He continued, "In light of my father's absence, I have assumed the interim leadership of the Ventura conglomerate.

The thought of his father's life hanging by a thread was unbearable.Douglas, placed a comforting hand on Michael's shoulder. "I understand your feelings, but false hopes can be more devastating. We need to prepare for the worst," he replied, his voice tinged with sorrow. "And his disappearance is not good for the conglomerate," Douglas continued, his tone becoming more serious. Michael looked up, his eyes filled with concern. "What does his disappearance mean for the conglomerate?" he asked, resigned to the fact that the situation had larger implications.Douglas hesitated momentarily before responding, his words carefully chosen. "Your father has already signed his will, Michael. If anything happens to him, he has designated you to take full control," he revealed, his voice steady but filled with a weighty sense of responsibility.Michael's shock was palpable. "What? I'm not ready for that. I
Disappearance of Edward Ventura

"I couldn't let you go through all that without something to lift your spirits."Emily could hardly believe her eyes. After everything that had happened, seeing her father and Lea Boutin standing there seemed too good to be true. "Is it really true?" She pinched herself and felt the pain, so it was true.Her father beckoned to her with a smile. "Come now darling, don't stand in the doorway. Let us in, you must be exhausted."Emily slowly stepped aside numbly as they entered. Lea presented the bouquet with a gentle grin. "These are for you Emily, to lift your spirits as your father said."Still in shock, Emily turned to her father. "Dad...is this real? Or am I dreaming?" He patted her arm reassuringly. "It's no dream sweetheart. I promised you something to cheer you up, and I meant it."Lea nodded. "It's truly me, Emily. Not the fraud who deceived you before. When your fa

Get up and finish the job!"The thug continued writhing on the floor, screaming in agony as the poison started to take effect. "The syringe...it broke the skin...I can feel it burning!" "Get up you fool!" Ryan screamed, his face red with rage. But the man was incapacitated, gripped by the searing pain shooting through his veins. Ryan scoffed in frustration and snatched the fallen syringe. "It seems I'll have to take matters into my own hands." He swung his gaze to Emily, eyes glinting manically."No!" Michael shouted, straining against his bonds. "I warned you Ryan, you're in over your head!" But Ryan ignored him, advancing on Emily with the syringe.

179Ryan sauntered into the room, a wicked grin on his face. "Well, well, Michael Ventura, fancy meeting you here. What brings you to our little hideout?" A sardonic grin etching his features. Michael, his eyes narrowing at the sight of his adversary, spat out the words, "Ryan. Should've known you'd be slithering behind all this."He leaned against the cold, concrete wall, his arms folded in mock admiration. "Surprised, Mikey? I've been watching you play hero on the six o'clock news. Quite the spectacle you made, snagging those two-bit kidnappers," he said disdainfully, "It was almost as enjoyable as the time I sent those three goons to rough you up but you beat them up. Quite impressive of you ."Michael's jaw clenched, his anger barely contained. "Why am I not surprised? You always were a coward, hiding behind others to do your dirty work."Ryan chuckled darkly, circling Michael like a predator. "Oh, Michael, always so direct. Coward or not, Mikey, I always find a way to get what I

Don't test our patience."Michael, feeling the weight of the situation, disconnected the call. He looked at Olivia, his face tense."What was that, Michael? Who was on the phone?" Olivia asked, concern etched on her face.Michael hesitated for a moment, then lied, "It's the police. They've got a new lead, and I need to go meet them. I can't take you with me right now."Olivia, puzzled, insisted, "But Michael, we're in this together. Let me come with you. We can face whatever it is as a team."Michael, wanting to protect her, shook his head. "No, Olivia. This is police business. I'll update you as soon as I can. Just trust me on this."Olivia, sensing something amiss, pressed further, "Michael, you're hiding something. I can feel it. Is there something you're not telling me?"Michael, his tone firm, replied, "Olivia, this is not the time. I

My boss, Emily Ventura, she’s just been taken in broad daylight outside our store!"The dispatcher's tone sharpened with urgency.

I thought she was abroad for a fashion show."Dismissing Olivia's doubt, Emily insisted, "No way! I saw her, we even had a conversation today.

Same voice, same presence."A note of doubt lingered in Olivia's response, "Em, I'm certain Lea is
