"I had intended to check on Debbie, but it seems she already moved," He gazed out the window, lost in thought. As he reflected on the events that had led him here, he couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt. He knew deep down that she wasn't to blame for what had happened to them. It was his own weakness that had almost cost him his life.

"Sophia, take it. I want you to have access to everything you need while I'm away. Money is not an issue for me, and I want you to be comfortable and taken care of." His words were spoken with conviction, and she couldn't help but feel touched by his concern for her well-being.
Reluctantly, she accepted the card, feeling its weight and power in her hand. It was clear that with Vincent, nothing was impossible, and she couldn't help but feel grateful for his generosity and kindness.
However, she still had some issues that needed to be addressed.
