Chapter 4: Roots

As the sun began to set, casting a beautiful array of colors across the sky, Liliana couldn't help but be captivated by the mesmerizing sight. She stood up , trying to get a better view of the breathtaking sunset. Unbeknownst to her, Emanuel took out his cell phone and snapped a candid picture of Liliana, preserving the moment and her radiant beauty.

Moved by the enchanting surroundings, Liliana turned to Emanuel and gently pulled him up from the ground, wrapping her arms around him. In a spontaneous and affectionate gesture, Emanuel lifted her up, and she wrapped her legs around his waist, their love and connection evident in that embrace.

However, their peaceful moment was abruptly interrupted by the presence of a man near the tree. Emanuel instinctively sensed something was off and immediately positioned himself in front of Liliana, shielding her with his body. With a commanding voice, he demanded to know who the man was.

As the man drew closer, it became clear that it was Vance, who appeared to be in distress, tears streaming down his face. Vance pleaded with Liliana, asking her to return to their hometown as his visit was coming to an end and he had urgent business to attend to. He desperately begged her to go with him, claiming that he couldn't bear being without her.

In response, Liliana firmly declared that she would not go anywhere with him. She was resolute in her decision, knowing that her heart belonged to Emanuel. Sensing the tension escalating, Emanuel spoke up, asserting his authority and making it clear that Liliana was his fiancée. He firmly told Vance to leave, emphasizing that he was not welcome to interfere in their relationship.

Liliana with a shocked faces knew he was lying but hearing those words come out from his mouth send her a vibration through her body.

She longed for his presence and reassurance, afraid that Vance might try to break in again.
