"In love, there are no second chances. I've lost someone once, and I can't bear the thought of risking my heart again," Thelma cried out, her voice heavy with pain. "Without taking the risk, how will you ever find happiness?" He questioned, gazing into her eyes intently. "I'm sorry, but I can't," she said, lowering her head as tears threatened. "It's complicated." "Is it because of my wealth?" he ventured. "No, it's not about that," she replied, her voice softening. "Then please, help me understand," he pleaded, gently lifting her chin with his fingertips. "Tell me what's stopping you." She hesitated, running a hand through her hair. "I think... I might be falling for you. Oh, dear!" Covering her face, she let out a sigh. "But I love you, Thelma Valentine," he confessed, his words full of sincerity. "What?" Thelma gasped in disbelief, shock registering on her face. "You...you love me?" "I do," he confirmed, closing the distance between them and kissing her. Thelma stood frozen, unable to comprehend the situation – a billionaire, her life, declaring love. It all seemed too extraordinary.
