Santina Brunch

Anya Montgomery, once a queen of designer heels and champagne brunches, now faces a reality as harsh as morning coffee. Thrust into the CEO seat of her father's ailing tech empire, her reckless past casts a long shadow, making investors warier than vultures at a buffet. But beneath the glittering surface, a new fire burns in Anya's eyes. Driven by love for her ailing father and a desperate need to right past wrongs, she embarks on a crash course in corporate warfare. Ethan, a brilliant colleague scarred by his own losses, becomes her unlikely ally, their contrasting strategies forging a formidable team. The boardroom becomes Anya's battleground, each investor meeting a high-stakes poker game. She swallows her pride, dances to the investors' tune, and fights tooth and nail to save her father's legacy. Yet, the ghosts of her past threaten to derail her at every turn, whispering doubts and fueling public scorn. As the pressure mounts, the line between fierce ambition and emotional burnout blurs. Anya grapples with the cost of redemption, her vulnerability exposed under Ethan's unwavering gaze. Can she reclaim her father's trust, the critics, and prove that the tigress within can roar not just with defiance, but with the fire of a true leader?

I got caught up in the cryptocurrency craze because everywhere I went, be it on the internet, at work, at brunch with my friends, meetings with clients, everywhere, I would hear how it is the next big thing. I am a real estate agent and I landed on a huge deal (closed on a Beverly Hills property so yeah, it was huge) so I saw the best opportunity to finally invest in the crypto market. One of my friends had told me about a broker who offered great returns so I immediately asked for the contacts and ended up investing a whooping $120,000 at once. Yes, that was not smart but I did it anyway. A week later, my friend called me complaining how she was not able to withdraw and the broker was unresponsive. I called him but the number was off, texted him but never got any response till now. We reported the issue to the Police but there wasn't much they could do about it since we were not coerced into sending the money. It was when I shared with a workmate that I got a glimpse of hope of getting the broker and my money. My colleague told me his uncle's situation of how he lost his entire life savings to a similar scam but recouped them with the help of a technical private investigator. So I got their email (gearhead@ engineer. com) and explained every little detail to them including the transaction receipts. I thought this to be a long shot but did I have any other option? The P.l was patient and understanding and he actually encouraged me. Less than 24 hours later, he sent me the broker's actual name and his actual address. He however warned me of making any move until he was able to access his accounts. 3 days later, I got a notification from my wallet that I had received $110,000. I was so overwhelmed because I had gone through hell in what seemed like forever. Please be careful of these get rich quick schemes, they are not worthy at all. There are of course legit companies out there. Just watch out especially if the deal seems too good. As much as I got my money back, so many victims don't have a chance to. Be careful

"Dear wife’s, please wake up." He tapped on the shoulder of the woman lying on the bed beside his. "Just wait 5–no 30 more minutes please." The woman answered lazily. "But the breakfast, I mean brunch I cooked for us is gonna get cold." he said slowly lowered his lips to hers. He gave her a deep penetrating kiss, which the woman reciprocated. The kissed finished and he pulled away from her gently. "Hubby, please understand this tired wifey," she said while breathing heavily. "Just let me sleep more. Do you even know how much of a monster you are last night? I haven’t even finished my work yet!" "Fine, I’m sorry dear wife. This hubby was just making up for this busy week. I just wanted to feel you but I couldn’t control myself. Forgive me please? I know you wanted it too." he teased. "Yes, yes, wifey forgives, because she also wanted it. Now let me sleep some more!" Suddenly, they heard the door of their bedroom creak. A little boy came running to the bed and pouncing on the woman. "Eek!" "Mommy! Wake up please. Xiao Xiao has come back from grandmama’s home. Xiao Xiao misses mommy, so mommy please wake up?" "Xiao, get off of your mom. She’s in pain." "Okay daddy," the boy said sadly as he moved away from his mother dejectedly. "Shi Shi, wake up please. I’ll compensate by letting you off for tonight." "Alright, you promise!" "No promises" "Hmph!" "I cooked your favorites," the man said in a gentle voice. "Really?" "Yes, really," he said while the woman called Shi Shi snuggled against his chest. 'Truly, the way to a woman’s heart is through food or was it supposed to be a man’s heart?' he thought. "Ahhhh! Xiao Xiao wanna joins cuddle hug too!" the little boy ran up to them and opened his arms wide. The tiny family hugged each other for a little while before pulling away. "Xiao Xiao go to the dining room and wait for mommy and daddy. Let’s go to the amusement park today." "Really daddy?" "Yes baby." he replied. "Yehey! Mommy, daddy please hurry up. I’ll go wait at the dining room!" the boy shouted as he left. "Now wifey let’s go clean you up. Your breath stinks, your hair is flying everywhere, and I bet you’re wet down there." "Shut up! It’s your fault! .°(ಗдಗ。)°." The man giggled. ——— Meanwhile her excuse for not updating her web novel that night: [1] Lu Shi Thoughts: “I’m sorry dear readers my husband was shameless enough to eat me before I could even update last night’s chapter.” Comments: Xx_Matsunaga_xX: (//∇//) ChocolateBaby: _:(´ཀ`」 ∠): Fudge, author is stabbing my single heart.
