We went back and noticed the doctor discussing something with Tati, so we increased our pace. “I don’t think Enrico would like to stay here. I’ll take him home since he’s out of danger,” she said. I interrupted immediately. “Who gave you the right to decide for my husband?” She rolled her eyes. Seeing me I turned to the doctor. “Please, what’s the situation, Doctor?” “Okay, Don is out of danger, but he’s still in a coma. I have no idea when he would wake up, let us all hope he does, ", he said and my heart ached " so we’ll be moving him to the VIP ward.” I nodded, and he went back inside. “Because you’re his wife by title, you don’t have the right to decide for Enrico,” Tati sneered. “And who are you, if I’m just the wife ‘by title’?” I shot back. “What’s going on?” a voice came from behind, it was Derek, returning back empty-handed. He noticed the strange looks from the three of us and seemed to know what was on our minds. “I wasn’t able to get any ,” he said

Iris took me to a nice spa, and they had delicious sandwiches, which they served along with sweet-smelling tea. We sat in the relaxation lounge after getting our hair and nails done. “Oh God,” Iris groaned as she looked at her ringing phone. “It’s my ex-husband, Lucas. He calls me every day…” She blushed cutely as she picked up the call. “Yes, Lucas, what do you want?”She said, rolling her eyes. “One of your brothers was shot.” I heard Lucas say from the phone, and I dropped my cup of hot tea, spilling it on my dress. I was shocked by the news, one of Iris’s brothers was shot. Oh my God! Was it Enrico, the man I was married to, or his brother Derek, the man I loved? The feeling I got was unexplainable. I quickly held Iris as her whole body shook. I took the phone from her as Lucas kept saying, “Hello! Hello!!” but got no answer.“Wh–which particular one?”

I was wide awake when Enrico returned. My eyes were wet with tears, and my heart ached. It was past midnight. “Where were you?” I asked, sitting up as he undressed. “Excuse me?” he frowned. “Who were you with?” I frowned too. “You have no right to ask me that!” “I do! I’m your wife!” I blurted out. “Wife?” he scoffed. “That’s only a title, and the sooner you get that into your pretty little head, the better for you.” Crushed. I felt so crushed. I slowly laid back on the bed and sobbed into the pillow. Enrico showered and joined me in bed. I was still sobbing, terribly sad. “I was with my casino managers. I got news I was being stolen from, so I called for a meeting. I shot one of them, and it was a messy, long night afterwards,” he finally spoke after minutes of silence. I took a deep breath and turned over to him. “You weren’t with Tati?” “Tati?” He looked surprised. “Who told you I was with Tati?” There was no way in hell I was bringing up Derek in the con

What? I could hear my heart racing so fast. I knew my life would end tonight. Before I could process anything, the phone started vibrating. He picked it up, and it was on loudspeaker. "Enrico, you won’t believe what I saw—your wife." "Tati, don’t you know what hour this is?" "Enrico, I—" "Whatever it is, just keep it to yourself," he said and hung up. I sighed heavily, and he glanced back at me. "Whatever you’re playing at, don’t forget who you are, where you are, and who you’re with," he said and left the room. I laid down, struggling to sleep, but I couldn’t. The memories of how he killed his second wife kept replaying in my mind, and I quickly texted Nora: Please, you need to come over. I think I’m screwed. ********************************************* The next mornin

I didn’t know much about my husband, but I knew he would definitely put a bullet in my head if he found out I kissed his brother! “Oh my God!” I panicked, pacing around. “Who?” “Tati.” “Tati!?” Oh no! Not Tati! “Nora, I am so dead if Enrico finds out!” I was so dead. Someone else knew about me and Derek, and it was the worst person I could think of. “Calm down, he doesn’t know yet.” “Yet!” I blurted. “What am I going to do?” I groaned. “I have a plan,” Nora said, and I listened. “We need to find something to hold against Tati.” Nora told me her plan. “How do we do that? She doesn’t have any bad public record—except for her abusive ex-fiancé,” I said. “We’ll start from there—and everyone has a skeleton in their cupboard, including Tati.” “Okay... let’s just hope that works,” I sighed. ******************************************** By nightfall, I was in the bathroom, showering before bed, when I heard Enrico walk in. “I want that bastard dead by morning, or i

The rest of the cocktail party was awkward. Derek could not take his eyes off me, and I could not stop fidgeting.After the party, Iris showed me to my bedroom—the one I would be sharing with Enrico. I took a much-needed cold bath and changed into the nightdress my mother had gifted me for my wedding night. I missed her so much already. I missed my old life.Enrico returned late at night. I was already dozing off when he entered the room, and I was woken by the sound of the door.I watched him in the dark as he took off his shirt, his back to me. His tie and jacket were already off before he entered the room.My eyes widened at the sight of the lion-head tattoo on his back. I didn’t admire it for long before he turned around and his huge chest and mind-blowing abs came into view.Oh my God. This man was so damn sexy. He must live at the gym! Look at those biceps!“Undress,” he growled, startling me and interrupting my ogling.I didn’t bother pretending to be asleep. He already knew I

~~Alejandro~~“Sir, Mr. Ramos is the stepson of the woman in the hospital. He uses her life to control Elena,” my assistant said. I leaned back in my chair, flipping through the file with steady fingers. My face stayed hard. “I want to see Javier,” I said, my voice firm. Mateo nodded and left the office. The door closed, and silence filled the room. I rested my arm on the desk, tapping a finger on the wood. My eyes narrowed on the file. Because he is a stepson. Now everything makes sense. Every detail fits. My hand moved to my jaw. To make her mine, I must take his power away. To make her mine, I must free her grandmother first. I stood and walked to the tall glass window. The city lights spread under me—bright, alive.Her birthday is tomorrow. I let out a slow breath. What gift can I give her? Not flowers, not diamonds. Something more. Something that tells her she belongs to me. Suddenly, a knock on the door broke my thoughts. “Come in,” I said, still facing the window. “Mr.

~~Elena~~I shoved Carlos away so hard my own hands trembled.“Don’t… don’t ever do that again,” I said, my voice shaking more than I wanted it to. I didn’t even look back at him as I ran upstairs.My heart was hammering, my throat tight. Why did it feel like I’d been caught cheating? I’m not even his. Alejandro isn’t mine. And yet… my whole body burned with guilt as if he were.“Alejandro…” His name spilled from my lips the moment I came closer to him. It sounded like a prayer and a plea at once. “I didn’t mean to—”I stopped.Why am I explaining myself to him? Why does his opinion feel like life and death?“Come with me, Elena,” he said, his voice low. Not angry. Not loud. Just low, certain, and impossible to disobey.I followed him before I could even think about it.The moment we stepped into his room, the door shut behind us with a soft click. My heart leapt into my throat.He moved forward,I moved back , the air between us shrinking until my back pressed against the cold wall, a

~~Elena~~He didn’t react. Not even a flicker of surprise.“So, you and Valentina can go shopping tomorrow. Mariana, you can join them too,” Grandpa said with finality, as though the matter was sealed.Back in my room, I collapsed onto the bed. Mariana sank beside me.“What should I do, Mariana? I’m scared… and honestly, I feel like I’m suffocating,” I admitted.Her voice was calm. “We can’t delay tomorrow’s plan.”She was right, though fear knotted in my chest....The next day, we visited the old house. The moment we opened the door, dust greeted us like an old friend. Cobwebs dangled in corners.I wrinkled my nose. “This place could use an army, not just two girls with brooms.”Mariana chuckled, and for a moment, the heaviness lifted. We got to work, scrubbing, sweeping, throwing out spoiled food from the fridge, and washing dishes. It took us an hour, but finally the house looked less like a ghost had been living there.Then came the real task. We searched carefully, and at last

~~Elena~~“You’re not allowed to go inside, Miss Elena,” the doctor said, blocking the doorway.“Please, I need to see my grandma,” I insisted.“She’s sleeping,” he added Frustrated, I quickly pulled out my phone and called my uncle.“Yes, Elena? What’s the problem now?” he said as if I was disturbing his peace.“Uncle, tell the doctor to let me in,” I pressed He hung up. A few minutes later, the doctor answered a call—probably from him.“You can go in,” he said at last, then excused himself.Suddenly, Mariana arrived.“What’s wrong?” she asked, noticing me still standing at the door.“Are you done with the test?” I asked instead of answering.“Yes. They told me to come back in a few minutes,” she replied softly.I studied her expression. Something seemed… off.We entered together, and indeed, Grandma was asleep. I dragged a chair and sat beside her, and held her hand. We both sat quietly without saying anything, the only sound in the room was only coming from the steady beeping of

~~Elena~~The jet touched down, smooth and steady, before rolling into the private hangar. One by one, we made our way down the steps. The air outside felt colder, heavier. Three sleek cars were already lined up, waiting for us.Alejandro didn’t hesitate. His assistant walked closely beside him as they headed straight for the first car. Without a word, without even looking back, they entered, and the door shut behind them. A moment later, the car pulled away.Carlos was next. He slipped into the second car, and soon it was gone too.Immediately, Mariana’s driver arrived. She turned to me and wrapped me in a brief hug.“Take care of yourself, Elena,” she whispered before pulling away.I nodded, holding back the tightness in my chest.Now, only Valentina and I remained. Our driver approached and opened the door. Without saying a word, we climbed inside.The ride back to the mansion was silent, both of us lost in our own thoughts, the weight of everything pressing down heavier than the n

~~Elena~~The sentence cut me open. My heart beat so fast I thought I might collapse right there.“You can leave,” he added. Just like that, everything between us crumbled.I turned and walked to the door, pausing for a moment as my hand rested on the knob.I wished he would call me back. But he didn’t.Leaving felt like surrender, But I couldn’t face him any longer...Back in my room, Mariana was still asleep,I envied her peace.I slipped quietly into the bathroom and filled the tub with cold water.I slid inside, shivering, letting the cold wrap around me like punishment.while my thoughts replayed everything that had happened tonight. Regret poured through me.I wanted to snatch Alejandro from Valentina, but the truth was I wasn’t strong enough to handle the criticism or the fight that came with him. I was a coward, and the realization crushed me.A few minutes later, I stepped out, dressed in my nightwear, and lay down on the bed. I tried to sleep, but my mind wouldn’t stop.His voic
