...As she presented her father with a bouquet of flowers she had picked from the garden, the little girl said, ...

..."You've always loved flowers, Dad."...

...The same little girl who grew up said, ...

..."You always loved flowers, Dad," ...

...as she laid flowers on his grave....

...It was then that she knelt down and said silently, ...

..."Goodbye, dad. I love you."...

...She placed her hand on the cold gravestone, feeling a connection to her father, even though he had passed away. After reflecting on her memories of him, she finally stood up and wiped away her tears....

...She looked at the grave and then proceeded towards the Porsche she was driving. She got in, started the engine, and drove away....

...Veronica Birsh, the sole heir to Russia's largest hotel chain She may have been born with a golden spoon in her mouth, but she was also born with a diamond-encrusted steering wheel in her hands....

...She called her best friend Maria to ask if she wanted to meet up at 'The Golden Wheel' the nightclub....

...----------...

..."What? You want a birthday party at a nightclub?" ...

...Martin said to his non-brother incredulously. "I mean, I know it's your birthday and all, but don't you think that's much?"...

...His non-brother, Adem, shrugged....

..."It's my 21st birthday. I want to do something special." ...

...Martin sighed. ...

...He knew there was no way he could talk him out of it....

...He knew this would be the one birthday he would never forget—and not in a positive way....

...----------...

...Veronica was wearing a dazzling black dress, and her brown hair was styled perfectly. ...

...She was in an excellent mood and looking forward to the night....

...Maria, who was wearing a stylish white dress, smiled as she looked around the club....

...It was packed with people dancing and enjoying themselves....

...Veronica and Maria ordered drinks and toasted to a great night ahead....

...----------...

...However, not everyone in the club was having an enjoyable time....

...Some people were anxious and overwhelmed by the crowd, regretted coming out, and wished they were home in bed....

...He felt he had no control over the situation and could not relax and have fun....

...----------...

...The bar was crowded with people, many wearing flashy clothes and expensive jewelry. ...

...The air was thick with alcohol, music, and laughter....

...Veronica spotted Adem at the bar and went over. ...

...She wished him a happy birthday and hugged him....

...He was beaming, and it was clear that he was enjoying himself....

...Martin couldn't take his gaze away....

...There was something about her that distinguished her from the crowd. ...

...She possessed grace and elegance that few could match. ...

...She was like a light that illuminated the room and made everyone feel special. ...

...He felt in a trance, captivated by her beauty and charisma....

...It wasn't just a feeling. ...

...He saw his heart moving towards her, unwavering, even though it was stationary. ...

...She lifted her eyes toward him and smiled....

...Although his eyes were like gun barrels, when you looked at them, you thought of death....

...He had an angular face, a strong jaw, and piercing eyes that shone with intelligence....

...His presence commanded attention, and he had a natural air of authority that drew people to him....

...He put the tequila glass down, stood up from his place, and walked towards her. ...

...Without any hesitation, he passed her and left the club....

...Her heart pounded in her chest as she watched him walk away. ...

...A rush of emotion washed over her, a mix of admiration and fear....

...She'd never met anyone like him. ...

...She sat there for a few moments, puzzled by what had just occurred, before getting up and walking out the door....

...Unfortunately, she could not locate him. ...

...She had no idea where he had moved or if she would ever see him again. ...

...She sighed in disappointment as she realized the moment she had been so enthralled by had slipped by far too quickly....

...----------...

...Veronica contacted Adam in the morning to determine whether he would be available for lunch later that day. ...

...Adam had been in love with Veronica for a long time, despite the age difference between them. ...

...He readily agreed to the proposal. ...

...As much as he had hoped that the lunch would provide him with an opportunity to confess his feelings to her, the fact that Maria would also be attending the lunch crushed his hopes....

...However, Adam decided to go to lunch anyway and see what would happen. ...

...He was pleasantly surprised when Veronica and Maria got along well, and the three of them had a great time. ...

...Adam was able to talk to Veronica more, and he felt closer to her than ever before....

...----------...

..."Man?"...

...Adam responded. ...

..."Who?"...

..."The one who was standing next to you,"...

...Veronica added...

..."He was dressed in a black leather coat and had brown hair." ...

..."Oh, that was my non-brother," ...

...Adam explained. ...

..."His name is Martin." ...

...Veronica smiled and said,...

..."Oh, okay." ...

..."So, what do you think about the new restaurant that opened nearby?"...

...she asked Maria...

..."Should we give it a shot?"...

...That question was a hint, as if she were saying to Maria...

...'What do you think about his new brother in the scene?Is he worth my time?'...

...Maria responded to her suggestion...

..."Since you don't have a favorite restaurant, you should try this new one."...

After a week or more since that day, despite being friends with Martin's brother, Veronica still has him. She was completely exhausted. Despite knowing all of Martin's news and whereabouts, she did not know him. For instance, she sent a message to him through his brother but was too nervous to do so.

Her mother entered her room, saying, "I hope you haven't forgotten that we are invited to a charity event tonight. There are only a few hours left. The hairdresser and the wardrobe coordinator are waiting for you outside, so take a shower for them to do their work."

Veronica was surprised and looked at her mother in disbelief. She had completely forgotten about the charity event. She took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'm on my way." She didn't know if this would be the opportunity to finally meet her failed attempt. All she could do was hope for and prepare for the upcoming event.

She walked into the party, and all eyes were on her. She looked at the guests one by one, hoping to find what she was looking for. Her smile faded when her gaze fell on a familiar figure, that of her ex-boyfriend, Lorenzo Stewart, who proposed three years ago.

Her heart sank as she froze. She'd tried to forget him, but now he was right in front of her. She didn't want to see him, so she collided with someone's chest and couldn't lift her face to look at him. This is because she was afraid of crying. He placed his hand on her shoulder and said in her ear, "Bending and surrendering do not suit you."

She looked up at him, and he smiled back. He was Martin, and his words and smile convinced her to stay.

He stepped aside with a bow and said, "After you." She moved forward with a slight blush on her cheeks. He gestured for her to go ahead, and they began their journey. He stepped forward for her to enter. She felt warmth and safety in his presence, and his confidence was reassuring. She looked back at him as she walked through the door.

Her mother rushed up to them with a smile on her face. "Hello, Mr. Martin Bowles," she said as she greeted him. Martin returned her smile and asked, "Hello, Mrs. Birsh, how are you?" Veronica remained in the center, perplexed. They appear to be acquainted.

Veronica's mother spoke warmly to Martin, and he seemed equally familiar with her. It was clear they had met before, yet Veronica was unaware of their prior acquaintance. Mrs. Birsh nodded in reply. "I'm doing well. I'm so glad you two finally had a chance to meet." She reached out and patted Veronica's shoulder. Veronica looked between the two of them, feeling more confused than ever.

"Actually, we know each other." Mrs. Birsh smiled. "Martin and I both work together." Veronica's face lit up with delight. "Oh! I had no idea you two knew each other!" Mrs. Birshnodded in agreement. "It's been a pleasure working with you over the last few months. We make an excellent team!" Martin agreed, "Yes, it's been great working together. We have a lot of fun, and we get a lot done too!" Veronica smiled, happy to know that the two of them had formed a strong bond.

Martin and Veronica's mother started talking about work. Veronica had always disliked these subjects, so she went to the restroom without drawing attention to herself. When she emerged from the restroom, she was yanked around her waist. "I love how my hands sway over your waist." It's Lorenzo—the same scent, the same voice. She slid his hand away from her. "I love to see your hands cut off," Veronica said, her face filled with hatred and rage.

Lorenzo erupted in laughter. "You can never forget me, can you?" As he approached, he inquired. Veronica scowled and pushed him away. She stepped back, her eyes welling up with tears. "I thought I'd never see you again," she exclaimed. Herface was flushed. "Well, there I am, Vera." Lorenzo smirked in response. Veronica shook her head and wiped her tears away. "Why did you come back?" she inquired. "I missed you," Lorenzo admitted quietly. Veronica let out a sigh. "I missed you too, Renzo," she said, barely audible. Lorenzo smiled and opened his arms for a hug, and Veronica stepped into them. She nestled her head into his chest, and he held her tightly. They stood there.

Martin, on the other hand, kept his hands in his pockets and observed what was transpiring. He appeared to have taken fire breath or swallowed coal. But why is this so? Is he envious of something he doesn't even own?
