Episode 1 |Andrea's disappearance|

...INSIDE THE GOMEZ MANSION, IN THE LIVING ROOM....

...VICTORIA'S POV...

I was sipping my coffee, sitting on the couch. It was currently 10 o'clock in the morning and my sister Vivian was cooking in the kitchen while Gia was helping her. Meanwhile Andrea was beside me, hesitating probably because she wants to say something to me but scared to say so I decided to just ask.

"You wanna ask something?" I Coldly ask.

"Umm...actually....y-yes..." Andrea replies nervously.

"Hmm.....what is it?" I asked coldly, not even looking at her.

"Um...I need your permission." Andrea replied, fidgeting with her fingers on her lap.

"For what? Say it fast....I don't have all day." I say, rolling my eyes.

"A-actually...I wanted to attend a party tonight....I swear there will be all girls...no boys..." Andrea nervously said while stuttering.

"Hm....I will think about it....now go and don't waste my time." I Coldly dismissed her.

Andrea nods and leaves upstairs to our shared bedroom. After a while, I left the mansion and went to the Gomez Industries. I get in my black Mercedes and drive off on the highway.

...45 minutes...

...INSIDE THE GOMEZ COMPANY...

I enter my cabin on the 19th floor. I sat on my desk and started working on the computer. Suddenly I heard a knock, it was my secretary.

"Come in..." I coldly said without looking towards her.

"Good morning, Ms.Gomez. I brought your schedule for today so you'll have to leave in just a few minutes as there will be a meeting with the Park company's CEO and Chairman..." My secretary said polity after bowing in front of me.

"Isn't that....Lucifer's responsibility to attend all the meetings with the Chairman's." I asked, looking confused.

"Yes, it is but Mr.Gomez wants you to attend the meetings for him today as he is busy in the business proposal with the Kim family." My secretary answered.

"Oh...okay you can go....I will be ready before the meeting..." I said coldly.

My secretary bowed one last time and left. I got back to work and worked for a few more minutes and then left my cabin and took my secretary with me to the meeting.

...Meanwhile back in the Gomez-Bianchi mansion....

...ANDREA'S POV...

I was in the bedroom, lying on the bed thinking about what happened earlier in the living room. I was just wondering if Victoria will give me permission or not.

"She never lets me have fun....always scolds me or even yells at me for no reason....she never loved me....I shouldn't just expect love from her....this marriage is just business anyways." I said to myself, sighing. Looking at the ceiling.

"Fine... I have had enough.... I will go to the party....without her permission! Yes! That's my decision....it's my life...my rules...I don't need her permission." I again said to myself, decided to sneak out now.

...Later that day...

...THIRD-PERSON POV...

It was currently around 8 pm and Victoria just returned home. She saw the whole mansion empty. Victoria then called out for Andrea but no response came so Victoria went upstairs to their shared bedroom.

Victoria entered the room, but Andrea was not there, but Andrea's clothes were on the floor and even on the bed. Victoria picked up the dress from the floor and recognised that it was the dress that Andrea was wearing in the morning.

Victoria's eyes widened as she realized that Andrea had gone outside but where? Victoria's mind was filled with questions about Andrea's disappearance and thinking about where she could go at this hour.

Victoria finally decided to call Andrea to know where she had gone. Victoria dialed Andrea's number and waited for her to pick up. The call gone straight to voicemail that reached Victoria's anger and a bit of concern.

Victoria without a choice had to call Gia as she might know where Andrea had gone because Andrea must have at least informed her sister before going out.

Gia luckily picked up the phone. Victoria quickly asked about Andrea's whereabouts.

"Gia, do you know where Andrea had gone? Did she inform you before going?" Victoria asked in her cold tone, but it almost sounded concerning.

"Yes, she said....she is going to a party...didn't she tell you about it? She said there will be her old classmates and even her ex-boyfriend...." Gia replied calmly not knowing the storm that's going to come after this.
