Truth, justice and love
The atmosphere seemed empty for a moment with the silence that fell over the hall of that event that was on the verge of being canceled. There was Daniel Busch, with his elegant demeanor and his beard trimmed in a style different from the French style, which definitely gave him a more youthful look. Without further delay, he took a step into the hall.Daniel moved gracefully among the tables, taking his time to greet everyone present. He exchanged greetings with great courtesy, as if he had all the time in the world. When he reached Karen's table, she tried to speak to him more closely, but her initiative failed as Daniel didn't even look her in the eyes."Karen... a pleasure," was the only thing that came out of Daniel's lips, followed by a light pat on the back of her hand."Daniel? Wait, let's talk..." she murmured with eyes filled with emotion as she saw him, stretching her hand as if, with helplessness, she tried to reach him, but it was impossible.The ladies next to Karen only
Truth, justice and love 2
Karen called Mrs. Daniela to stand by her side and also called Patrick, an undercover investigator working for the Busch family. The tall, overweight man walked to the front without looking at Daniel, then handed Karen a yellow folder and headed to the back of the hall, turning on a device that displayed images on the wall.Without erasing that triumphant smile, Karen spoke up and turned to look at Ava, who was hugging herself to calm what she was going through."I think it's time to dismantle this little play and let everyone know the truth about the kind of imposter this woman is," said Karen, while some images passed before everyone's eyes."In reality, the woman present here is not called Ava Spencer; her real name is Ava López, a poor and ambitious woman who clearly enamored and deceived Mr. Busch because she was interested in the family's money. There is no other reason!"I suspected it, and it turned out to be true!" Mrs. Daniela nodded, arms crossed, looking proud of everythin

Ava felt overwhelmed by the responsibility she had taken on by accepting Daniel Busch's marriage proposal that same morning. After finishing work, she arrived home, greeted her family quickly, and headed to her room. Anxiety quickly set in, her heart racing.She felt her hands becoming sweaty and cold, and the weather wasn't helping with all the nervousness about her future decisions. She was about to tell her family about her fake engagement, but she didn't know where to start. What were the right words? As she prepared to leave the house, her phone rang, and she answered it immediately."Ava? How are you?" It was her father's weak voice. He was still in the hospital, recovering from cancer treatment."Don't worry about me; I'm getting better every day," she told him.Ava felt a lump in her throat, hearing her father's voice, knowing that her mother had told him how sick he was.

Working Together
They were mere millimeters apart; Ava felt like her heart was about to burst from her chest when Daniel noticed her nervousness. He pulled back slightly to get a better look at her and scrutinized her with his beautiful jet-black eyes.He gently took her hands in his while caressing the diamond on the ring he had placed on her ring finger, sighed, and said:"Ava, I know this is a fake engagement, but I want you to know that I will respect and care for you deeply."She nodded, feeling overwhelmed by Daniel's gesture.Suddenly, without saying anything, he leaned in and gave her a soft kiss on the lips, pressing gently, and a sigh escaped him involuntarily. Ava tried to hide her surprise but couldn't help feeling a bit uncomfortable, unlike him.When Daniel pulled away, his lips made a smacking sound. Ava discreetly looked around, making sure no one was scrutinizing them closely. Daniel smiled and dared to ask:"Tell me... Did you like that, Ava?"Ava bit her lower lip and replied with a

She had never been inside, so nervousness settled in her chest. He noticed it immediately and smiled, taking her hand as they both began to explore the premises.Once inside, Ava was amazed by the opulent and elegant decoration, which was in stark contrast to her humble and modest home. Daniel led her to the bedroom he had set aside exclusively for her and showed her a collection of haute couture dresses, each more beautiful and sophisticated than the last.Ava felt a bit intimidated by the situation but tried to maintain a positive and grateful attitude."These are for you," said Daniel, pointing at the dresses.
