"I remember she seemed on edge, anxious even," Diego explained. "I brought her some food, but she declined, insisting that I should stop visiting her. She said it was for my own safety, that I had a bright future ahead that I shouldn't jeopardize by being associated with her."Li-lah's eyes welled up with tears once again as the weight of her mother's actions and emotions pressed upon herAs Diego's words settled into the depths of Li-lah's consciousness, tremors of trepidation coursed through her body. She knew, deep down, the significance of her mother's abrupt disappearance, but she couldn't find the courage to voice her thoughts. The truth was too painful, too devastating to acknowledge aloud.Diego's voice continued, filled with empathy and concern. "Li-lah, I've been trying to investigate your mother's disappearance.

Olivia stood at the threshold of Diego's office, an air of determination about her as she delivered an important message. Her dark eyes met his gaze as she spoke, catching his attention as he looked up from his computer screen.Diego furrowed his brow, his mind still lost in the sea of reports and deadlines. "Sorry, Olivia, what did you just say?"She repeated the words, her tone steady but filled with concern. "Santiago Cruz wants to see you. His secretary delivered a package, claiming it's a gesture of gratitude for your attendance at the recent events. But I suspect there's something more to it."The weight of Olivia's words settled heavily on Diego's shoulders, his expression reflecting a mix of uncertainty and weariness. He knew all too well the rumors surrounding Santiago's involvement in illicit activities, using government projects as a disguise for his own nefarious agenda.Olivia, never one to shy away from speaking her mind, continued, her voice steady but filled with convi

The scent of freshly sharpened pencils and excitement hung in the air, a nostalgic reminder of his own school days. Today was different, though. Today, he was on a mission to check on someone special—Li-lah. His steps grew more deliberate as he approached Li-lah's dressing room. He paused outside the closed door, his hand resting on the doorknob. Feeling a sense of anticipation and concern, he leaned in slightly and caught a glimpse of her through the small crack between the door and its frame.There, in the dimly lit room, Li-lah stood with her head bowed, her deep brown eyes filled with sorrow. The weight of her sadness seemed to radiate from her petite frame, tugging at Diego's heartstrings. In that moment, h

Mateo's father stood tall and stern in his study, his face contorted with anger. His booming voice echoed through the room as he yelled, "Repeat what you just said, Butler!"The butler, who stood before him with a nervous demeanor, cleared his throat and stammered, "I-I said, sir, that Mateo... he's gone. He's left the house."A look of disbelief crossed Mateo's father's face, his anger intensifying. "Gone? How could he have just disappeared? You were supposed to keep an eye on him!"The butler fidgeted under his boss's intense gaze, his voice trembling as he responded, "I... I'm sorry, sir. I wasn't aware that he had plans to leave.

Mateo leans in and gently kissed Li-lah. Their lips interwoven in a passion so intense that both Li-lah and Mateo could barely keep their composure.

Someone might walk in on us."Mateo shakes his head and gives her a reassuring smile. "I'm sure you're right, but that isn't going to stop me."Li-lah gives a light giggle and nods. She clears her throat as she pulls him along with her towards her dressing room. Once she locked the door, Mateo wasted no time . He leaned Li-lah back against the wall and kissed her with passion yet again. His hands pulled her skirt up over her thighs and took off her underwear. His lips moved from her lips down to her neck. He stopped and then kissed her on the lips. He whispered into her ear "I'm ready for you now, Li-lah."Li-lah took Mateo by his shirt and pulled him towards the cou

The morning sun seeped through the window. The figure that laid under the sheet on the king-size bed stirred causing the sheet to be pulled down, revealing the most beautiful head of a dark haired woman. She blinked her eyes slowly, trying to pry the sleep away. The sun just moved and still her eyes remained closed. Her eyelashes brushed against her cheeks and soon her eyes were open.She yawned as she propped herself up on her elbow. She was gorgeous. Her green eyes glistened in the morning light. She had full lips, and her nose, which was slightly pointed, was quite cute. She had long, silky dark hair that fell down her back in a thick mane, that brushed the sheets and got mussed.
