Chapter 193

It had been a month since the events unfolded, a month that for Roshene and Maximilien had been the most difficult of their existence. The loneliness that engulfed them was immense, the agony of distance, absence, and uncertainty of not knowing about each other was growing more intense each day. Knowing that their lives had taken different paths continued to hurt as if it were the first day. The little time they spent together was profound, strong, and unforgettable. Despite never admitting or confessing their true feelings, their love grew stronger each day even when they were apart, not seeing each other, not speaking, and having no contact. Roshene took over the presidency of her father's company after his brief relapse, following her revelation of her sudden marriage and the involvement of her stepmother in it. This led Mr. Volkov to an obvious separation from his wife, and they decided it was time for the Russian to take control of the business.
