Chapter 18 - Chapter 3

As the sun began to set, casting a warm glow into the room, Emanuel lay peacefully asleep, a white sheet covering his lower waist. Meanwhile, Liliana awoke with a contented smile on her face, feeling more alive than ever before. She gracefully moved towards the window, wrapping a white sheet around her body, eager to take in the breathtaking view. However, her peaceful moment was interrupted when she noticed a familiar car parked outside. It was Vance, standing there, his gaze fixated on the window.

Liliana's heart sank as she realized Vance had seen her naked. She could see the anger in his eyes as he clenched his fists and threw his glasses on the floor. Just as the tension escalated, Emanuel stirred awake, sensing the tension in the room. He pulled Liliana into his arms, kissing her neck softly, and whispered, "Get dressed, I'm taking you somewhere."

Liliana turned around, her arms wrapped around Emanuel's neck, and playfully and seductively said, "If you shower with me, I'll obey you." With a teasing smile, she dropped the sheet from around her body , and Emanuel followed , as they made their way to the bathroom.

Unbeknownst to them, Vance, consumed by rage and heartbreak, stormed back to the hotel. He lay in bed, tears streaming down his face, realizing the pain he had inflicted on Liliana countless times before. Fueled by anger towards himself, Vance made a decision to win her back, even though he still loved Ana, who was now married to another man.

Driven by his desire to possess both Liliana and Ana, Vance resolved to be more discreet this time. He knew it would be a challenging path to navigate, but he was determined to make things right, to salvage what he could of the love he had lost.

After getting dressed for her day with Emanuel, Liliana was joined by Isabella, who entered the room with a beaming smile and an air of excitement. Isabella had overheard everything about Vance and wanted Liliana to know that she was there to support her in any way she could. With joy in her eyes, Isabella expressed her love and sisterly devotion, leaving Liliana feeling grateful and comforted. Liliana embraced Isabella, thanking her for her kind gestures and the assurance of her unwavering support.

As Liliana contemplated what to wear, Isabella chimed in, her voice filled with mischief and seduction. She proclaimed, "Girl, half of the girls on this island are trying to get his attention. You need to wear something that makes a bold statement, something that shows he's yours." Isabella's mischievous smile hinted at the adventure that lay ahead. Together, they rummaged through Liliana's wardrobe until they found the perfect outfit.

With a shared smile of satisfaction, Liliana proceeded to do her hair and makeup. Her hair cascaded in beautiful, wavy locks, adding to her allure. Her makeup was kept natural, accentuating her features and giving her face a radiant glow. Her eyes sparkled with even more intensity.

The chosen outfit was a stunning red dress that hugged her curves and featured daring slits that revealed both her thighs, further enhancing her sensual charm. The dress was a statement in itself, exuding confidence, elegance, and a touch of allure. Liliana admired herself in the mirror, feeling empowered and ready to make a lasting impression on her special day with Emanuel.

As Liliana descended the steps, she could feel Emanuel's gaze fixated on her. The sight of her in the captivating red dress, with slits revealing her thighs, had achieved the desired effect. Not only did Emanuel look at her with love in his eyes, but even the bodyguards couldn't help but steal glances in her direction. Liliana's plan to make a statement that Emanuel was hers had succeeded.

Emanuel couldn't contain his admiration as he uttered a heartfelt "Wow" upon seeing Liliana. They made their way to the waiting car, and Emanuel, being the perfect gentleman, opened the door for her. As Liliana stepped out of the car, she couldn't help but notice the women around, all vying for Emanuel's attention. They shamelessly displayed their bodies, hoping to catch his eye.

However, as soon as they caught sight of Liliana, everything changed. The women's faces twisted with envy, and they stopped in their tracks, their focus shifting entirely to Liliana. Ugly stares were thrown her way, fueled by jealousy and a sense of defeat. Liliana, undeterred by their negativity, walked with confidence into the snack bar, with Emanuel by her side.

Inside the fancy snack bar, Emiliano's presence by her side only added to Liliana's confidence. The stares from other women were now filled with both envy and admiration. Liliana knew that she had made a lasting impression not only on Emanuel but on everyone around them. Together, Liliana and Emanuel enjoyed their time at the snack bar, savoring each moment of their special day together.
