She hesitated, unsure whether to accept it. Eventually, she took it from him, feeling the soft fabric in her hands. “Come with me,” he offered with a hint of a smile. “I can make all your worries disappear.” “What do you have to offer?” she asked warily. “Money, wealth, power? I have no use for any of that.” He grinned mischievously. “Will my body be enough?” “Give me your room number.” — Rumor has it that Jack Lorenzo was an old man with three children and despite being wealthy beyond comparison no woman in Ashford City wanted to marry him.

Not Too Late To Explain

Phoebe tried to compose herself as she hailed a cab and got inside, but the emotions were still overwhelming and she couldn't stop the tears from falling.

As the cab made its way back to the hotel, she couldn't help but replay the confrontation in her mind and the pain assaulted her fragile heart, breaking it again into a million pieces.

She had been so excited to attend the Art Gallery although she appeared hesitant at first. She never thought that an exchange of words for less than ten minutes could ruin twenty years of her life.

Finally, the cab pulled up to the hotel, Phoebe wiped away her tears and took a deep breath before stepping out.

She made a beeline straight to the room she shared with Zoe and was greeted by her best friend who immediately noticed that something was wrong.

"Phoebe, what happened?" Zoe asked, concerned.
