"Is there something on my face?" asked the beautiful girl, gently touching her face.

It was at that moment that Ander reacted and realized he had been mesmerized staring at the face of this stranger.

"No, no, you don't have anything," Ander quickly said, feeling very embarrassed.

"You're not from around here, are you? I've never seen you before," she said as she adjusted her merchandise.

"No, I'm not from here. In fact, I'm lost and I was wondering if you could help me with directions," confessed Ander, lost in the eyes of this lovely girl.

"Yes, of course. I can definitely help you," she responded as she stepped out of the small shop to face Ander while offering her assistance.

"I need to get to Stanton Mansion. Do you know which bus I can take, or which direction I should go?" asked Ander.

"Bus?" she asked and began to laugh.

"Why are you laughing?" Ander was confused. He didn't know what he had said wrong.

"The nearest bus would leave you two kilometers away. You would have to walk

    "I would like there to be a table here filled with the best snacks in the world," Curtis said, pointing to a specific spot in the garden of Stanton Mansion."Very well," said one of the organizers, jotting down all of Curtis's demands in a notebook."I also want lights and fireworks for the celebration after the wedding. I want to see the garden of Stanton Mansion fully illuminated," Curtis ordered.Prince Rick and his assistant Linder were also there in the mansion's garden alongside Curtis as he planned the perfect wedding."Lights and fireworks," repeated the organizer as he took notes in his notebook, "anything else you'd like to request for the wedding?""Here comes the lucky groom. I suppose he'll have some suggestions for his wedding," Curtis said, pointing to the prince.But the prince at that moment had his mind elsewhere. Rick Carusi could only think of how to steal those expensive jewels to pay the first part of the mortgage, thus avoiding the bank from taking his father's

    "You can't look for it because..." Prince Rick stammered, trying to come up with a believable excuse to justify his assistant's delay.Curtis noticed how nervous Rick had become, making the delay seem even more suspicious. However, he decided to wait for a more consistent response from the prince."Because..." Rick looked around in all directions when suddenly he spotted Linder in the distance. "There he is," he said, pointing to Linder for Curtis to turn and see."Sorry, this mansion is larger than the king's castle; I couldn't help but get lost," excused Linder, nervously smiling as he glanced at Rick discreetly and took a seat.Curtis frowned, sensing that something was amiss. These two didn't inspire any confidence in him, yet he couldn't exactly figure out what they were planning."I understand; the same thing happened to me the first time I arrived at this mansion," said Curtis, trying to disguise his distrust as he took a seat with them."I need another drink, Curtis, could you

    Ander was very upset by Curtis's cowardly attitude. In his opinion, that shouldn't be the behavior of a Stanton. So, he vented his anger by hitting everything in his path, as a gesture of disappointment. He expected much more courage from his protector."You're a damn coward, Curtis," he said with hatred as he clenched his teeth tightly, trying not to cry.He could only think of his father's Lamborghini, and some damn filthy cop was driving it all over the city, without any right.He needed to think of something to calm the restlessness in his head. That's when the lovely memory of Annie's smile came to his mind like a refreshing breeze during the summer."Annie..." Ander quickly remembered the promise he made to himself at that moment.Ander promised himself that he would return to Annie's little store to thank her for the huge favor she did to help him when he needed it most.He looked up and observed all the cars stored in the Stanton mansion's parking lot.The Lamborghini Curtis h

    Ander had taken Joseph's best car from his entire collection. It was the most expensive car in the world, even though his favorite had always been the Lamborghini stolen by Inspector Ascanio.He was completely convinced that he would impress Annie with that elegant and wonderful vehicle."I'll turn here and... we're here," said Ander as he drove to Annie's small store.However, he would sadly find the store closed. He might have arrived too late, and she would have decided to go back home after a long day of work."Damn!" exclaimed Ander, hitting the steering wheel.Nevertheless, his luck was about to change. Ander could see Annie walking slowly away from the small store in the distance.So without thinking, he started driving to catch up with her, and then slowed down to match her pace.Annie immediately noticed the elegant and mysterious car slowly moving alongside her. The windows were up, and there was no way to see the driver's face due to the tinted glass.The young girl felt sc

    Some days passed, and one morning before Prince Rick's wedding to Agatha, Baxter enjoyed a red apple in the kitchen of Stanton Mansion. He was completely alone and silent as his thoughts put on a recital in his head."Baxter..." Curtis said as he entered the kitchen and found his chauffeur having breakfast, "bon appétit," he said while adjusting his tie."Thank you very much... boss," Baxter responded a bit hesitantly."After you finish breakfast, could you take me to the company, please? I need to sort out some things," Curtis requested."Of course..." Just then, Baxter noticed a knife on the table.Baxter admired that knife on the table while Curtis confidently turned his back. He would never expect Baxter to have a reason to harm him.Curtis continued talking about his things and the Stanton family business, but to Baxter, they were just incomprehensible whispers. He was focused on the sharpness of the knife and how easy it would be to kill Curtis in that vulnerable moment."Are yo

    "We have searched the entire Stanton mansion, but we haven't found any trace of the jewels," Lucius Garner reported as he entered Curtis's private office.Curtis looked out the window of his office directly onto the mansion's garden with his arms crossed behind his back.He watched as everything was being prepared for the wedding of Agatha and Prince Rick, which would take place the following day. The mansion's organizers were setting up all the tables, flowers, and arrangements that would adorn the celebration."Instruct them to stop searching. Those jewels are no longer in the mansion," Curtis said without turning around."Are you sure?" Lucius questioned."I have never been more certain of anything in my life," Curtis said.Lucius nodded and followed his boss's order."I will immediately order them to stop searching for the jewels.""Don't you find it strange?" Curtis asked, interrupting Lucius."Strange, sir?" Lucius didn't understand what Curtis was referring to."Don't you find

All media outlets made a special publication to disseminate the information that was of national interest.Joseph Stanton's only daughter would marry the Prince of the Mariano Islands in a dreamy wedding to be held at the spectacular Stanton mansion.Only the most important people in the country could attend the most anticipated wedding of the year. It was a serious mistake made by Ander to invite Annie without even consulting him first.However, that didn't matter to him. Ander had convinced himself that he was just as much a Stanton and had every right to make his own decisions.He had even taken his companion to one of the city's most prestigious stores to buy a dress that would make her look elegant during Ágata's wedding."You look beautiful," Ander said, his eyes lighting up as Annie emerged from the fitting room wearing a wonderful red dress."Don't tell lies," blushed Annie.She wasn't used to this kind of luxury, but she couldn't deny that

    Beth watched as Annie walked away towards the main entrance. It was very strange that she would want to leave the mansion when she had just arrived. So Beth hurriedly began to walk to catch up with her and have a conversation with her."Duchess... Duchess..." Beth shouted after Annie, but she didn't stop.While all the guests entered with smiles on their faces, Annie only thought about leaving that mansion as quickly as possible."Annie... Annie Von Fannder!" Beth shouted, hurrying along.Annie finally understood that those shouts behind her were directed at her. That's why she couldn't help but turn around while continuing to walk towards the exit.It was then that she saw Beth's figure relentlessly following her."Leave me alone," Annie shouted, very annoyed, and continued on her way.However, Beth was not willing to give up. She wanted an explanation immediately, and she knew that Ander's bastard would never tell her the truth."Annie... Annie... Stop!" Beth insisted, following her

    Campbell watched with concern the news of his mother's arrest on his cell phone as he prepared for the flight where he would escape with Dany.Dany noticed Campbell's demeanor and immediately took his hand to comfort him."We can't look back," Dany said, "I know just the thing to cheer you up."Dany went to the airplane minibar and grabbed a bottle of champagne, perfectly chilled. Without hesitation, she uncorked it in front of Campbell, letting the bubbly foam cascade everywhere, soaking the red carpet beneath their feet.It was all laughter, hugs, and kisses until a voice amplified by a megaphone wiped the smiles off their faces instantly."Campbell Stanton, step out of the plane with your hands on your head," the police chief's voice echoed through the megaphone.Campbell and Dany peered out the window to see an entire army of international special police agents on the runway, aiming their firearms directly at the plane.Curtis returned to the Stanton mansion safe and sound, as he

    Charles Ballmer laughed maniacally. He couldn't believe that he had finally ended the life of the wretched Curtis Stanton. He had always known he would kill him since the day Curtis had used him as a stool alongside Araña years ago.His escorts also laughed, pleased to see that their boss had finally gotten what he wanted. However, things changed in an instant. A shot came out of nowhere, hitting one of the escorts directly in the forehead, killing him immediately. Another shot hit the leg of another escort, and that's when everyone finally reacted, starting to shoot in all directions without knowing where the shots were coming from.Charles Ballmer crouched down and quickly sought shelter from the gunfire while continuing to give orders."Shoot! Shoot at anything that moves!" Charles shouted, hiding behind one of the containers.Curtis was also crawling on the floor, completely unharmed by the shots Charles Ballmer had just fired at him.Immediately, the dock was filled with internat

    The limousine slowly came to a stop in front of the Stanton mansion, and Agatha looked through the window while accompanied by Angeline."Welcome to your true home," said Agatha as the gigantic gate opened to allow the limousine to pass.Both were personally greeted by Curtis.Agatha quickly got out of the limousine and ran to hug Curtis."What the hell are you doing here? I told you to stay on the island and take care of Angeline," Curtis reprimanded."He came back, Curtis. He managed to find me," Agatha confessed, terrified, with a look of fear in her eyes."That's impossible!" Curtis exclaimed."I know, I know. But he did it. He reached the hotel and chased me up the stairs. He said Angeline was his daughter and that he had the right to know her," Agatha said, unable to stop crying."You are safe now," Curtis comforted her with a kiss on the forehead."Daddy!" Angeline exclaimed, hugging her father's leg while Alfred carried Agatha's suitcases."Hello, my love," Curtis greeted with

    “Curtis?” said Beth, peeking onto the balcony, “I finally found you. I've been searching all over the mansion for you.”“I was reminiscing about the view from this magnificent balcony,” Curtis replied.“Remembering old times, I imagine.”“Exactly in this spot, I stood the day Baxter went crazy and killed Lucius for no reason,” commented Curtis, fully aware that Beth was the culprit. However, he never pointed the finger at her directly.Beth immediately understood the accusatory remark and simply smiled to keep up the pretense.“It’s a real shame that such a beautiful place brings such bitter memories to your mind,” Beth responded.“No, not at all. It’s the perfect occasion to remember the inexplicable things that only happen in the Stanton mansion. Ander died and no one knows a thing about what happened. It’s exactly the same with Lucius and Baxter,” Curtis remarked sarcastically. “These elegant walls hold mysteries that the world has no clue about.”Beth only responded with a feigned

    Agatha couldn't believe it. That man had found her and surely wanted to harm her and her young daughter. She could expect anything from Prince Rick at that moment. It was impossible to trust someone who had abandoned her and stolen all her money."Let's go, Angeline. We need to go back," Agatha said, terrified, taking her young daughter by the arm to return to the elevator."Agatha!" Prince Rick shouted, rising from his seat when he saw that Agatha wanted to flee from him.However, the elevator had already closed again and was on the upper floors. No matter how many times Agatha pressed the buttons, the door simply wouldn't open.Agatha watched with concern as Rick quickly crossed the entire lobby to reach where she was."Let's go through the stairs," Agatha said, picking up her young daughter and carrying her to move much faster.She was forced to walk a bit further to her right to enter the door leading to the hotel's stairs. She tried to move as quickly as possible without drawing

    The next day, all the media outlets were abuzz with a story that went global in a matter of minutes.Ander Stanton, the youngest member of the powerful Stanton family, had been found completely charred inside the remains of a limousine that had been intentionally set on fire. He was found alongside a girl, also charred, who, for some strange reason, had a chain tied around her neck.This news plunged the Stanton family into mourning and called into question the performance of the city's police authorities. The citizens were alarmed. If something like this could happen to someone as important as Ander Stanton, what could an ordinary citizen expect?"That's common in this city. People are murdered like that every day. It's just that now it's someone rich, and that makes the difference," said an old woman being interviewed on television while Charles Ballmer and Beth Aldress watched.They were both completely naked and sitting in a hot tub. Charles was enjoying a cigar while Beth just re

    Ander lost all the harshness in his voice and his bravery vanished as if by magic. Now he was just a scared and cowardly child, trembling like jelly in front of what seemed like a ghost from the past."Annie..." Ander sobbed, a mix of lament and high-pitched cry.He began to sweat profusely, and tears streamed down his face like waterfalls as he remained in disbelief. He couldn't believe what his eyes were seeing.Annie was there, staring at him face to face. However, she seemed unresponsive. Somehow, Charles Ballmer had managed to destroy her feelings and emotions. Everything that Annie once was had been erased from her mind forever. Now she was just a kind of pet that only served to wag her tail when her master, Charles Ballmer, came home tired from work."What did that bastard do to you?" Ander said, crying like a child.He took the chain that bound Annie's neck and noticed it was made of very resistant material. Perhaps that was why she had never managed to escape. Or maybe Charle

    Ander woke up again in the middle of the night due to a horrible recurring nightmare that he had over and over again. Annie's face and voice tormented him during his dreams, preventing him from resting. Since it happened, Ander hadn't been able to sleep peacefully on any of the following nights."You're a damn coward," he told himself to gather the courage to go on with his life.His idea was to convince himself that he had chosen well by showing loyalty to Charles Ballmer. After all, Annie had brought that horrible end upon herself. However, the nightmares and the bitter taste in his mouth didn't go away with anything. Maybe it was something he had to learn to live with.The next day, everything returned to normal at the Stanton mansion. Beth walked proudly around the mansion, not missing any opportunity to rub her triumph in Curtis' face.However, Curtis was locked in his room with no desire to come out. He just stared out the window while everyone else enjoyed the pool. Maybe they

    "Congratulations," said Campbell innocently."I think you should be grateful he didn’t get your wife pregnant, idiot," Beth snapped angrily, while Campbell felt ashamed."My personal life with my wife is none of the business of anyone present," Curtis commented immediately, although, to be honest, he was still in shock."You’re right. We don’t care about the child of a bastard and a traitor," Beth said venomously, not caring that she was talking about her own grandchild."He will own everything you see," Curtis defended himself with a sharp comment."That reminds me," Beth stood up and began walking around the office, "the new company directors have been talking, and...""And what?" Curtis questioned."And we’re thinking of kicking you out of the business," Carson immediately attacked.Curtis smiled, letting out a bit of air in a half-laugh."That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard," Curtis said, smiling."We want to remove you from your duties as president of Stanton Enterpr
