**When Time Tried to Heal Me But I Refused to Listen**
\n*by Kael Niro Senn*<\/p>\n
Adriana stood at the entrance of the Silverwave Hotel, her heart heavy as she watched Belinda walk away. A sharp pang of longing pierced her chest, leaving her breathless.<\/p>\n
What if Belinda discovered that her mother was still alive? The thought sent a rush of hope through her veins. The joy on Belinda\u2019s face would be indescribable, a brilliant light breaking through the shadows of their past.<\/p>\n
Just then, Yolanda emerged from her room, her expression a mix of curiosity and caution.<\/p>\n
Before she could take another step, a figure appeared in her path. It was Danielle, her presence both commanding and unexpected.<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Spencer,\u201d Danielle began, her voice smooth as silk, \u201cI\u2019m Danielle, the heiress of the Barton Group.\u201d With that, she extended a business card towards Yolanda, a gesture that felt both formal and loaded with unspoken implications.<\/p>\n
Yolanda blinked, clearly taken aback. \u201cWhat? Seriously?\u201d Her mind raced, trying to comprehend the significance of this encounter. What could someone from the illustrious Barton family want with her? A scam? A joke?<\/p>\n
\u201cI know your father owns Bright Reach, the food company in Harborton,\u201d Danielle continued, her tone unwavering. \u201cYour family collaborates with the Lincolns\u2019 resorts and our restaurant chains.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Barton?\u201d Yolanda\u2019s brow furrowed, confusion etched across her features. She was still struggling to grasp the purpose behind this unexpected meeting.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want us to be friends,\u201d Danielle said, her eyes gleaming with ambition. \u201cHelp me resolve a little issue, and your family will reap the benefits for years to come.\u201d The implication hung in the air like a thick fog, and Yolanda sensed that there was more beneath the surface.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust say it,\u201d Yolanda replied, her voice steady. She was not one to engage in riddles or vague hints.<\/p>\n
Danielle\u2019s confidence was palpable, and Yolanda found herself intrigued.<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis is engaged to my family, but Adriana is getting in the way. If you can lure her to this location,\u201d she said, slipping a piece of paper with an address into Yolanda\u2019s palm, \u201cI\u2019ll ensure your family\u2019s partnership with us becomes even stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yolanda, sharp as a tack, immediately realized Danielle\u2019s intentions. She wanted to set Adriana up, and the thought sent a thrill of excitement through her.<\/p>\n
With a cunning smile, she glanced around, ensuring their conversation remained private. \u201cMs. Barton, this isn\u2019t the best place to discuss such matters. Let\u2019s go to my room.\u201d<\/p>\n
Danielle, impressed by Yolanda\u2019s quick thinking, followed her inside.<\/p>\n
Once the door clicked shut, Yolanda discreetly activated her phone\u2019s recorder, her demeanor calm and collected. She poured Danielle a glass of water, maintaining an air of nonchalance as if nothing significant was happening.<\/p>\n
As a flight attendant, Yolanda had mastered the art of hospitality, her polite smile and attentive service working wonders to put Danielle at ease.<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Barton, could you elaborate on your plan? I can arrange for Adriana to meet you, but what exactly do you want to achieve? Is there any risk involved? Will I be implicated in this? What\u2019s in it for me if this goes according to plan?\u201d Her voice was smooth and professional, as if she were conducting a business transaction rather than engaging in something far more sinister.<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t help but marvel at Danielle\u2019s na\u00efvet\u00e9, practically handing her evidence on a silver platter.<\/p>\n
Danielle\u2019s expression brightened, clearly pleased with Yolanda\u2019s astuteness. \u201cYou\u2019re clever. You know how to navigate this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yolanda returned the smile, her eyes glinting with calculated curiosity. \u201cI\u2019m just making sure I\u2019m not caught off guard.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry about a thing. Just get her there, and act as if we\u2019re strangers. My team will take care of everything else. What happens after that is not your concern.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yolanda understood the stakes; if she wanted to reap the rewards, she would need to take some risks.<\/p>\n
Still maintaining her facade, she inquired, \u201cBut if something were to happen to Adriana, would I be held accountable?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTrust me, no one will trace it back to you,\u201d Danielle replied coolly, her confidence unwavering.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a bit apprehensive,\u201d Yolanda admitted, feigning uncertainty.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s just how life is. The strong survive. Just focus on enjoying the benefits that come your way,\u201d Danielle said, her tone dripping with assurance.<\/p>\n
Yolanda paused, pretending to weigh her options. \u201cMs. Barton, I\u2019ll need some time to think this over. What exactly are you offering? I\u2019d prefer to hear the specifics before making a decision.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her sharp mind was not about to let Danielle off the hook so easily; she wanted clarity.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur company will enter into a long-term support agreement with your family. Any food-related business will go through you. We\u2019ll also assist with your farming and livestock operations in Centralia.\u201d<\/p>\n
The offer was undeniably enticing, rich with possibilities.<\/p>\n
Yolanda nodded, a polite smile gracing her lips. \u201cAlright, Ms. Barton. I\u2019ll consider it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Danielle, satisfied with her pitch, left her card behind as she strutted out, a sense of triumph radiating from her. She had done her homework, and she knew Yolanda\u2019s reputation for pursuing wealth and networking with affluent clients. Whispers circulated about her past relationships, and it was clear she had her sights set on Curtis.<\/p>\n
If she had ingratiated herself with Adriana merely to get closer to Curtis, then she would go to any lengths for greater rewards.<\/p>\n
Once Danielle was gone, Yolanda sat on her bed, her gaze fixed on the business card that now felt like a key to unlocking new opportunities.<\/p>\n
Danielle had hit the nail on the head; Yolanda was indeed motivated by financial gain.<\/p>\n
Yet, her mind was already racing, contemplating how to transform this deal into something far more substantial.<\/p>\n
This was a golden opportunity, an unexpected windfall.<\/p>\n
With a smirk playing on her lips, she sent Curtis a friend request, adding a note that read, \u201cI\u2019m Adriana\u2019s friend. She\u2019s in danger.\u201d<\/p>\n
She was ready to take a gamble, eager to discover just how much Adriana truly meant to Curtis.<\/p>\n
**Chapter 101: Reward**<\/p>\n
