Davin leaned, his hands tightly clung to the phone, “what news exactly are you talking about, ma?” he asked calmly. Margaret hissed, “Listen to me, if you feel that you can eat your cake and have it back, then I want to tell you that, it can't be!” her voice piercing through Davin’s ears. “I will ensure you have a share of the shame you’re trying to force on my daughter!” David heard that part and pretended like he didn’t, he smiled widely, shaking his head gently, after Magaret had ended the call, he had to call Ma

Maya took a deep breath as she sat across from Davin in his office. The room was well arranged, screaming sophistication as she stared at every item with an awestruck expression on her face. The sleek desk and neatly arranged files spoke of an organized mind and a commanding presence. Despite the calm surroundings, she was restless, her mind tangled with uncertainty about why Davin had called her.As she shifted uneasily in her chair, her phone buzzed, disrupting the silence. The screen flashed with Derek’s name. Her heart raced, and she glanced at Davin, who appeared absorbed in his work, flipping through some documents. She tried to subtly silence the phone and hide it from view, but her attempts were clumsy and betrayed her growing discomfort.Davin, noticing her struggle, looked up with a knowing smile. “You can answer your call, Ma,” he said, his tone smooth and unruffled. “It’s perfectly fine.”Maya’s face flushed with embarrassment, caught between the urge to ignore the call

One of the guards ran ahead, opening the door of the inn with a flourish. Another approached a man stepping out of the second Bugatti with a reverent salute.Maya squinted, her heart pounding. The man, dressed in a neatly tailored suit, seemed to command immediate respect. His confident stride and the way the guards treated him made it clear he was someone of immense importance.Her mind raced. “It can’t be him,” she muttered, almost to herself. “Must he go to such lengths just to impress me?” she thought.

Maya fled the coastal car shop, her footsteps echoing through the empty streets. The night air offered little solace from the burning humiliation she felt. Tears streamed down her face as she stumbled forward, her thoughts a jumbled mix of anger, sadness, and betrayal.She turned into a dimly lit alley, seeking refuge from the pain. Her breath came in ragged gasps, her vision blurring with tears.

Meanwhile, she and Maya waited for Derek’s arrival, both dreading and anticipating his intervention.The doorbell rang, breaking the silence. Margaret opened it to find Derek standing on the porch. He was a tall, imposing figure, his face etched with concern but also with a steely determination. Behind him, a pair of burly men stood, their expressions unreadable, their demeanor unprofessional.“Margaret,” Derek greeted with a nod, “I’ve come to discuss our plan!”Margaret led him into the living room where Maya was seated, her eyes red but her expression resolute. Derek glanced at Maya, then turned his attention to Margaret.“We need to be swift,” Derek said, his voice low and serious. “I’ve gathered a few of my best men. They’re waiting outside.

Is she okay?”“Maya,” Davin said, keeping his voice steady. “What are you doing here?”“I came to support my family,” she said, tilting her head slightly. “Isn’t that what family does?”Helen shot Davin a look, and he felt the tension rise between them. “Support?” he echoed, doubt lacing his tone. “Or to make sure everyone knows you’re here?”Maya laughed, a sound that felt more like a challenge. “Oh, come on. I know you’re not happy about my wedding plans, but can we not turn this into a competition? This is about Mom.”“Right. Let’s just focus on her,” Davin said, frustration boiling beneath the surface. “But don’t pretend that you aren’t looking for attention.”“Seriously, Davin?” Maya shot back, her voice sharp. “You think I’m here for a show?

Davin sat at the dinning table, a half-finished cup of coffee in front of him, flipping through a stack of paperwork from work.

We need to talk,” she said, her voice tight with anxiety.He looked up, instantly alert. “What’s wrong?”“It’s your mother. I just got a call from the hospital.

What’s going on?”“They didn’t give me all the details, just that she needs immediate treatment,” Helen replied, her eyes brimming with concern. “They’re arranging a private jet to get her to the mainland for the best care.”“Why didn’t they call me?” he asked, rising from the table, the papers scattering as he stood.“I think t

The sun shone brightly overhead, and the market was a riot of colors and sounds. Families milled about, vendors called out their wares, and the laughter of children filled the air. The moment felt suspended in time, a perfect snapshot of happiness that Davin wished could last forever.“Let’s take a stroll down by the river after this,” Helen suggested, finishing her ice cream. “I heard they have a small arts and crafts fair set up along the walkway.”“Great idea!
