When Tracy strolled into “Boulevard restaurant, with resignation letter in her hand, she was met with a flurry of concern from her follow servers. “Tracy what's going on? Her close friend Jessica asked, holding her arm. Tracy managed a smile, “ I quit, because I'm starting a new chapter in my life”.

The manager, heard their conversation and he was less than pleased. “You're quiting? Just like that? Tracy heart raced as she turned and looked towards the manager’s angry reaction. She knew deep down in her heart that this was the wisest decision she'd ever made, because something inside her told her to trust Marvin and the path he had set out for her. Sir , “ I know it's sudden, Tracy said calmly, “but I have a new opportunity that I can't pass up”. “New opportunity? What new opportunity?

The balcony was a Marvel, a stunning extension of his mansion. The swimming pool was a glittering oasis, a serene blue lagoon surrounded by lush tropical plants and dazzling lights. Tracy couldn't help it, as she was swept up in the extravangence of it all. “Marvin stood beside her, his arm arround her waist. “This is my sanctuary,” he said, “ but it was missing something.

Tracy, he said, “I toast to you-the light that's brightened my world. You make me feel alive again, like I'm not just living for myself, but for someone who truly matters and means more than the world to me”. Tracy blushed with her teary eyelid filled with passion and her heart pounding in her chest. Marvin leaned in, his breath warm on her cheek. “Tracy, will you be my light, my partner, my everything? I want you to be by my side for as long as we have”. Tracy gazed up at him, overcome with emotion. “Yes, Marvin,Yes”. She whispered.
