Rebecca softly spoke to him, breathing in his distinctive scent, "I recognize who you are," she said. As their eyes met, he questioned, "And who am I?" A sorrowful tear traced his cheek. "You're no longer the penniless tenant. You're the powerful CEO of Muriel's empire," she confessed, her voice heavy with heartache. "We share a similar past, Alexander Muriel. I am the daughter of the mafia boss who took your sister's life, while you are the man who unknowingly stole my son away," Rebecca said, irony in her mocking smile.
Alexander's heart shattered at her revelation. "I never should have laid eyes on you, let alone fallen for you," he lamented.
