Chapter 12 - Chapter 2

The car ride back to the hotel was tense and filled with a sense of betrayal. Vance couldn't contain his anger and yelled at Liliana, questioning why she chose Emanuel to make him jealous, knowing that he was Vance's enemy. Liliana responded, her voice filled with frustration, "Because he seems to be the only person who doesn't lie to me, Vance. When are you going to tell me who the girl you kissed was?"

Vance, attempting to deflect the question about the girl, tried to ignore it. But Liliana wasn't going to let him off the hook. She declared, "Fine, don't tell me. But I hope you know that what we have is over. I don't want a relationship built on lies." Vance, realizing the gravity of the situation, finally mustered the courage to speak the truth. He admitted, "She's my ex-girlfriend, my first love. And she kissed me."

Liliana couldn't hide her pain and anger as she yelled at Vance, accusing him of grabbing the girl and questioning how many times he had seen her. Vance, frustrated with himself, apologized, trying to explain that his ex-girlfriend held a significant place in his heart. But Liliana's heart shattered as she responded with anger, demanding Vance to stop the car.

Vance pleaded with Liliana, begging for forgiveness, admitting his foolishness. Liliana, overwhelmed with emotions, began to cry, expressing how she had fallen in love with Vance but now felt lost. Vance, filled with regret, hit the steering wheel in frustration, desperately proclaiming that he couldn't live without Liliana and asking for her forgiveness.

Tears streaming down her face, Liliana looked into Vance's eyes and saw the remorse he felt. She made the difficult decision to forgive him, but with a condition. She demanded that he take her with him to every meeting he had from now on. Vance, realizing the gravity of his actions, agreed, promising to do so.

Vance drove back to the hotel,and carefully took Liliana out do the car , carrying her to the bed and gently placing her down. He kissed her with a mix of passion and remorse, caressing her cheek and apologizing for the hurt he had caused. Liliana, with teary eyes, she looked at Vance and accepted his apology, hoping that their love could mend the wounds inflicted by betrayal.

As Vance and Liliana lay on the bed, the room filled with a heavy silence. They both knew that rebuilding their relationship would require time, effort, and a lot of communication. Vance, determined to make things right, promised Liliana that he would be completely transparent with her from now on. He understood that trust had been broken, and he needed to regain it.

Liliana, still feeling a mix of emotions, expressed her fear of being hurt again. Vance reassured her that he had learned his lesson and would do whatever it took to earn her trust back. He understood the pain he had caused and vowed to be a better partner.

Over the next few days, Vance and Liliana spent every moment together. They went on walks, had deep conversations, and shared their hopes and fears. Vance opened up about his past relationship with his ex-girlfriend, explaining that it was an unresolved chapter in his life. He assured Liliana that she was the one he wanted to be with and that he had no intention of returning to his ex. Liliana, slowly but surely, began to heal. She saw Vance's efforts and felt his sincerity.
