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.
• It was a difficult time when she thought she would lose her biggest support. Her health deteriorated to the point of being hospitalized. Fortunately, her father had recovered well from his previous relapse and was able to face this crisis. The news of her impending divorce made him less sorrowful, as he managed to cope better with the situation. However, he couldn't control the feelings of revenge and resentment towards the man and woman who caused so much misery to his only beloved daughter. At least, he found solace in the fact that Carson would soon be behind bars and that he would also soon be divorced from Camille, the frivolous woman he had been married to for so many years, whom he would leave penniless.
