Adrian woke up the following morning with aching shoulders and a stiffness in his arms that reminded him of the previous day's work at the construction site.

For several seconds, he remained beneath his blanket, staring at the ceiling.

Then his eyes widened.

He turned toward the bedside table and checked the time on his phone.

6:15 a.m.

"Not again."

He threw the blanket aside and sat up.<

  • THE GIFT THAT COST HIM EVERYTHING

    The liquid ran down my face, soaking my clothes and spilling over the shopping bags. I stood completely still. For a moment, I couldn't even speak. The handbag was wet. The dress was wet. The cake packaging was stained with the drink. I looked down at everything I had carried so carefully. Then I looked at Vanessa. "Why would you do that?" She folded her arms. "Because I told you I don't want your gifts!" I swallowed. "Vanessa, please. I didn't come here to disturb you. You asked me to come." She pointed toward the entrance. "Then leave!" I shook my head desperately. "Please, don't do this to me. I've been trying so hard to make you happy."<

    But I had made my decision. I wanted to move forward with Damian. I picked up my phone and called Adrian. He answered quickly. "Hello, baby." I closed my eyes briefly. "Adrian, where are you?" "I'm at home. Why?" "I need you to come somewhere." "Where?" I told him the name of the venue. He sounded pleased. "All right. Is everything okay?" "Just come, Adrian." There was a brief pause. "Okay, baby. I'll be there soon." I ended the call. Damian looked at me. "Is that him?" "Yes."

  • THE GIFT THAT COST HIM EVERYTHING

    I had come here to give Vanessa the gifts I had bought for her. I didn't want to create a scene without understanding what was happening. I carefully approached their table. Vanessa noticed me first. Her smile disappeared. VANESSA'S POINT OF VIEW I had spent the entire morning preparing for my evening with Damian. After the party, he had contacted me, and we had been talking more frequently. Every conversation made me more interested in him. He was confident, successful, and comfortable with the kind of lifestyle I wanted. I knew what I had to do. I had to make a decision about Adrian. I couldn't keep pretending that everything was fine when I was no longer happy in the relationship. That afternoon, I stood in front of my mirror, trying on different dresses. I finally settled on one I liked and began arranging my hair. My phone rang. Patricia's

    I immediately raised my hand. "Sir, you don't have to do that." Michael smiled. "I insist. You've already done enough for us today. At least allow us to make your journey home easier." I couldn't help smiling. "Thank you, sir." The driver opened the car door for me, and I carefully got inside, making sure not to put unnecessary pressure on my injured leg. As the car pulled away from the hospital, I looked out of the window. I was exhausted, and my leg still hurt. But for the first time that day, I felt hopeful. I had helped someone who needed it, and somehow, I had received an opportunity to recover part of what I had lost. I took out my phone and checked the time. It was getting late. I wanted to get home, but th

    He looked worried and was breathing heavily, as though he had hurried through the building to get there. He immediately approached the doctor. "Doctor! Please, tell me how he is. How is our boss doing?" The doctor recognized him. "He's responding to treatment. You can relax a little." The man's shoulders dropped with relief. "Thank God. I have been trying to reach him, and when I heard what happened, I came straight here." The doctor nodded. "You should be grateful to the young man who brought him in." The man looked confused. "What young man?" The doctor turned and pointed toward me. "That young man over there. He found your boss collapsed on the street, brought him here, paid the hospital charges, and even donated blood after our tests confirmed compatibility." The man's eyes widened.

  • THE GIFT THAT COST HIM EVERYTHING

    My heart sank. It was a substantial sum. I had been saving for Vanessa's handbag for weeks, carefully setting aside whatever money I could spare. Even after receiving compensation from the construction company and some additional money from Harrison, I had been struggling to balance my expenses. That money was supposed to help me recover from my injury. It was also supposed to bring me closer to fulfilling the promise I had made to Vanessa. I stood silently, looking at the doctor. "Please, Doctor," I said. "Is there anything you can do while I arrange the payment?" "We will continue the necessary emergency assessment, but we need to address the hospital charges and treatment arrangements. We cannot leave his condition unattended." I nodded. "Please give me a moment." I stepped away and took out my phone. For a few second
