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
Ágata's wedding had finally arrived. 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
Ander was disappointed in himself. It was very boring being a Stanton if he couldn't do as he pleased. Even though he would have preferred not to lie to Annie.While the Stanton mansion was the epicenter of the year's most important wedding, and everyone wanted to be there, Ander only wanted to get away from all those arrogant millionaires.He began to walk in the opposite direction of the wedding, thus distancing himself from all those superficial people.The Stanton mansion was truly immense. Its dimensions were extensive. Even Ander, in all the time he had lived there, did not know the mansion in its entirety. There were areas of the mansion he had never visited.He arrived at an area of the mansion that seemed uninhabited. Exactly what he needed at that moment. A solitary and silent place where he could meditate and reflect on all the stupid things he had done in the last few days.It was at that moment when he heard a voice behind some bushes. It was Charles Ballmer talking on hi
The wedding march began to play at full volume to announce the bride's arrival. That caught the attention of all the guests, who immediately stood up and turned to see Joseph Stanton's only daughter walking down the aisle with a prince."Here she comes," Rick Carusi said resignedly."Think of your father," Linder recommended, whispering very close to the prince's ear.Agatha finally appeared wearing an elegant white dress designed by one of the world's most famous stylists.Everyone at the Stanton mansion was amazed by Agatha's beauty, including Curtis, who couldn't believe how beautiful she looked."Is that really Agatha?" Curtis questioned from the balcony of the Stanton mansion."Indeed... It's Agatha," his loyal friend Lucius Garner responded.Curtis swallowed hard. He quickly felt a lot of envy towards the prince. He remembered the night when he made love to Agatha, and in an unexpected twist of fate, he began to feel jealous."A drink of wine?" offered Lucius Garner, who knew Cu
Prince Rick Carusi felt a strong pain in the cheekbones of his face from having been pretending to smile for over an hour. While the elderly priest read a huge book on the altar, Linder and the prince battled boredom and the sleep that was taking over their eyes. He also had to conceal a couple of yawns that slowly escaped to avoid being rude during his wedding. "Miss Ágata Stanton. Do you swear to love and respect Prince Rick Carusi of the Mariano Islands until death do you part?" asked the priest with trembling hands and a tired voice. Ágata turned to look at the prince with a huge smile on her face. Her lifelong dream had always been to marry a member of royalty. "Of course, I do," Ágata said with much excitement. "How beautiful love is when it begins," said the priest, laughing with some difficulty because he couldn't help but cough a little in the attempt. Prince Rick responded to the priest's laughter with a forced smile. His nerves were racing. He was very close to marry
