...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."...
