This whole ordeal must have been incredibly stressful."she asked. Sara smiled warmly, appreciating Thessa's care. She held Tgessas hand intimately unlike her usual distant and cold attitude ."I've been better, but I'm a tough old lady. I won't let this situation bring me down." Sara answered with a smile .“I'm only glad you are back home safety” Thessa said with a concern look. “ It's heartwarming to have people like you around, Thessa. Your concern means a lot to me.” Sara chipped in with a delighted look.Thessa glanced towards Ethan, pretending not to recognize him. "And is this young man Ethan? The one who saved you?"she asked with a curious look. Sara's eyes sparkled with pride as she nodded. "Yes, that's him. Ethan is the reason I'm safe and sound right now. He handled that dange
Ethan found himself in his study, contemplating the web of intricacies that seemed to surround his family. He realized Maya, his grandmother's assistant, crossed his mind, and he decided to reach out for an update. It's been hours already and things should be in place. Ethan picked up his phone and dialed Tom's number. The familiar voice answered, "Hello, Boss. How can I assist you?" "Tom, do you have any news from Maya?" Ethan inquired, his tone inquisitive and cold. Tom shuffled some papers on his end. "Yes, Ethan. Maya informed me that she's dealing with the remaining individuals involved in your grandmother's kidnapping. She expects to be back once everything is resolved." Ethan's relief was evident in his voice. "That's good to hear. Please let her know that I appreciate her dedication on this case and that I will be waiting." "Of course, Biss. I'll relay the message," Tom assured him. Hanging up, Ethan let out a sigh of relief. The knowledge that Maya was taking care
Ethan climbed into his car and drove off, his mind racing with the weight of the conversation he had just had with James. He couldn't help but ponder over the possibilities of what James had alluded to about the Willow family's hidden secrets or why he called him there. . As he drove, Ethan's thoughts were a whirlwind, and he found himself grappling with the complexness of his family's history. However, his resolve remained unshaken. He was determined to confront whatever truths lay ahead, no matter how unsettling they might be. Meanwhile, James walked out of the restaurant, his expression troubled. He called out to Ethan, his voice carrying a sense of urgency, "Ethan, wait!" Ethan's car was already a fair distance away, and James realized he wouldn't be able to catch up. He sighed, knowing that what he had shared was a heavy burden to bear alone. Ethan glanced at the rearview mirror and saw James standing near the entrance of the restaurant, a worried look on his face.
Ethan couldn't take his eyes off him. Leona looked very different but it did not affect her beauty at all.Her hair was now straight and a bit of it was tugged on her left ear.She was in a big hoodie with a pair of baggy jeans and sneakers.When we had no makeup on.Her look was simple but it was more than enough for Ethan.This is the face he had been yearning for these past months.His heart.It's now close by. But how to keep it. Leona wiped her brow, a sense of accomplishment evident in her expression. "Well, I think we've done a pretty good job here." she said. Ethan nodded in agreement, a grin spreading across his face. "Definitely. Who knew we'd make such a dynamic traffic-clearing duo?"Leona chuckled, looking at her car parked nearby. "And now, I should be on my way."Ethan's celebratory mood dimmed slightly at the thought of her leaving so soon. As Leona headed toward her car, he hesitated for a moment, then found his voice. "Hey, Leona."Leona paused and turned bac
Ethan and Leona continued to talk and laugh, their connection growing stronger with each passing moment.“I can't wait to believe we have to part ways here” Ethan said .“How about we meet each other again” Leona added As they were about to walk out of the café, a voice suddenly cut through the air."Well, well, well, if it isn't the great Ethan Willow," the voice sneered.Ethan turned to the source of the voice, his eyebrows raised. Standing there with a smug grin was none other than Robert, his presence shining arrogance.Leona looked at Robert and then at Ethan, her eyes widening in surprise. She could feel the tension in the air, and it was clear that there was no love lost between these two.Ethan's lips quirked into a sarcastic smile. "Oh, Robert Willow , I almost didn't recognize you without your usual bouquet of arrogance."Robert's smile didn't waver, but his eyes flashed with annoyance. "How nice it is to meet you again, Ethan. I must say, your timing is impeccable as alw
As Leona hung up the phone, Ethan couldn't help but ask, "Who's Alex?".He knew his question was a little over the top since they had no connection with each other .But he just couldn't help himself. Leona's expression was a mix of emotions, but she offered a small smile. "He's a friend… or at least he used to be."she answered with a bitter smile. Ethan's curiosity got the best of him. "Sounds like there's more to the story."he asked not shying away from the fact that he wanted to know more. Leona's gaze turned distant for a moment as he recounted the past moments. "We used to be really close. He was there for me when things were tough during back in the days. But things changed, and… well, sometimes people grow apart."Ethan nodded, understanding the unspoken complexities of relationships. "I get that. Life has a way of changing things."Leona sighed, her gaze returning to Ethan. "Yeah. Anyway, I should head back. The audition is starting soon, and I don't want to be late."
Their gazes met briefly, carrying the weight of past memories and the uncertainty of the present. Leona's heart pounded, her mind racing with conflicting thoughts.“I hate this feeling” she said to herself with a frown. Alex looked at her quietly and saw that frozen on her face .“Are you okay” he asked with a worried look.He stretched out his hands and almost touched her when Leona took a step back .“It's fine. Just a small headache” Leona answered and looked away with a polite smile .“Are you sure? I can…”Alex was about to finish when Leona interrupted .“It's okay Mr. Alex. I'm just a new international artist and you are a famous producer. I don't think it will look great in your image to see you worry about a newbie like me” “Leona you don't have to…” he wanted to speak again but Leona interrupted him again.“Please, let's not make this more awkward than it already is. I thank you for this great opportunity but I hope we act professional with each other” she said with a c
Jubilee was feeling glad in her heart .Why?It was very obvious . Jubilee, unfazed by the skepticism around her, continued to address the group. "It's important to remember that we're all unique. Our paths and motivations may differ, but that doesn't diminish anyone's worth or potential."she rebuked those ladies angrily.Leona observed Jubilee's self-righteous demeanor, her eyes narrowing slightly as she picked up on the underlying message. Jubilee was subtly highlighting her own supposed virtue compared to Leona's perceived flaws.“But you saw it yourself . She is a vixen”“Well I guess I’m not the only one”.Jubilee continued her self-righteous tone, "We should uplift one another instead of tearing down, no matter our differences. Our individuality is our strength."Leona met Jubilee's gaze, her eyes revealing a subtle skepticism beneath her calm exterior. Jubilee's words were a facade, thinly veiling her attempt to position herself as morally superior.The sudden gasp from the
