Chapter: Wedding Of The Century~2
Vince smirked. “Changed you? You’re still the same badass who once took down a whole warehouse full of traitors.”Santos chuckled. “Yeah, except now he wears a wedding ring instead of a gun holster.”The men burst out laughing again.Just then, little Leo, came running into the room, wearing a tiny black tuxedo with a red bow tie. “Papa! Look!” he said proudly, holding up a flower pin.Miguel’s eyes softened instantly. He crouched down and fixed the pin on Leo’s chest. “Perfect, mi pequeño caballero. You look handsome just like your mama.”Leo grinned. “Can I walk with you to the front, Papa?”“Of course,” Miguel said, kissing his forehead. “You’ll walk right beside me.”Rafael smiled at the scene. “Damn, boss. Family man, husband, father, crime lord… you’ve got quite the résumé.”Miguel laughed quietly. “It’s all about balance.”Then his expression turned serious as he looked toward the men guarding the door. “Santos, how’s security?”“All entrances are covered,” Santos replied. “Sni

ST PATRICK’S CATHOLIC CHURCH — WEDDING MORNING BRIDE’S DRESSING ROOM“Papa! You came for my wedding!” Amelia said with a bright smile as she rushed into her father’s arms.Eduardo hugged her tightly, his voice warm. “Of course, mija. I wouldn’t miss this for the world. And you know what makes me even happier? You’re finally getting married under your real name Adrianna Rodriguez.”Amelia pulled back slightly, her smile fading. “I’m sorry to disappoint you, Papa,” she said softly. “But where did you hear that? Adrianna Rodriguez is gone. She died the day Damien married my sister. I’m not her anymore.”Eduardo frowned. “Then who are you, my daughter?”“I’m Amelia Stone now,” she said firmly. “You have to start calling me that, Papa. Get used to it.”He studied her face for a moment, then nodded slowly. “Okay, Amelia,” he said, his tone tender but sad. “If that’s what you want. But you look so beautiful today, do you know that? Just like your mother did on her wedding day.”She smiled so

Chapter: The Fall of The Rodriguez Women
Cheap Motel – MorningThe sound of babies crying filled the small, dimly lit room. Empty bottles and wrinkled baby clothes were scattered across the floor.Altricia stood by the window, her arms crossed, her face tired but sharp. “Wake up and feed those babies, Katherina,” she said firmly. “We have a wedding to attend.”From the bed, Katherina groaned and pulled the blanket over her head. “What wedding, Mama? Leave me alone. I just want to sleep. After that embarrassment with Daniel yesterday, I want the world to forget I exist.”Mira’s cries grew louder, and Isa began to whimper too.Katherina sighed and muttered, “You know what, Mama? I might as well put these twins up for adoption. Maybe someone else can do better.”Altricia spun around sharply. “Over my dead body! You will do no such thing!” she snapped. “Those children are Blackwood heirs, Katherina! Whether Damien or Daniel want them or not, those twins are our way out of this hellhole.”Katherina sat up, her hair a mess, eyes r

Chapter: A Thousand Dollar Humiliation
PRIVATE RESTAURANT PARKING LOT NIGHTThe air was cold, and the parking lot was nearly empty. Katherina stood under a dim streetlight, her arms wrapped around herself as Daniel’s car pulled up.He stepped out, looking tired but sharp in his suit. “You wanted to see me?” he asked flatly.Katherina forced a shaky smile. “Yes, Daniel. I… I needed to talk.”Daniel sighed. “Make it quick. I don’t want Ariana finding out I met you.”Her smile faded. “So, it’s true. You really love her, don’t you?”He looked down for a moment, then nodded. “Yeah. She’s carrying my child, Kat. I’ve made mistakes, but I’m trying to fix things. Even though we’re not on good terms, I’ll keep begging for her forgiveness.”Katherina stepped closer, her voice soft, pleading. “What about us, Daniel? What about Mira and Isa? They’re your daughters.”Daniel’s expression hardened. “They’re your daughters, Katherina. I don’t even know if…”“Don’t you dare!” she snapped. “They’re yours! I gave birth to them. I suffered fo

Chapter: Within 24 Hours
Katherina shook her head, crying uncontrollably. “Papa, please… you can’t mean that. She’ll destroy me!”Eduardo turned away, his voice cold. “No, Katherina. You destroyed yourself.”Altricia stood still, her face pale, tears filling her eyes. “Eduardo… what have you done?” she whispered.Eduardo looked at her one last time, his eyes full of disgust. “What I should’ve done years ago protect the daughter who never stopped being mine.”He pointed toward the door. “You and your daughter have twenty four hours to leave my house. Starting now.”Altricia’s voice rose, trembling with anger. “Eduardo, you wouldn’t dare throw us out! After everything we’ve been through”“Watch me,” he cut in coldly. “My daughter is alive. The truth is finally out. And I hope she destroys both of you, the same way you destroyed her.”Katherina dropped onto the couch, shaking and sobbing uncontrollably. “Papa, please… don’t do this,” she cried.Eduardo didn’t look back. “You made your choice the moment you betra

Chapter: She Came Back To Destroy
Eduardo looked up from his chair, frowning. “Why are the babies crying like that? And why do you look like a mess?”Katherina could barely speak as she put the twins down on the couch. “Mama… everything’s gone.”Altricia knelt beside her, holding her shoulders. “What do you mean gone?”Katherina’s lips trembled. “Damien… he divorced me tonight.”Eduardo’s face hardened. “Divorced you? Are you serious? What did you do this time?”Tears ran down her cheeks. “It wasn’t my fault! None of it was! At the Thanksgiving dinner it turned into a nightmare. Amelia came back, Papa. But not as Amelia… as Adrianna!”Altricia froze. “What?”“She stood in front of everyone,” Katherina said, pacing back and forth. “She told them who she really was. She humiliated me, Mama in front of the whole Blackwood family, the press, everyone!”She turned to her parents, sobbing harder. “Damien ended it right there. In front of everyone. He said it was over.”Mira started wailing again, and Isa began hiccuping fro

The Return Of The Betrayed Bride

The wedding bells rang then came the gunshot. Amelia Stone thought she was marrying the love of her life, Miguel Favino. But before the vows were over, Miguel was shot in front of her, his last word was her name. Now she’s a widow, covered in blood and surrounded by lies. Everyone says it was an accident, but Amelia knows someone wanted her to suffer. Days later, Miguel’s younger brother, Alejandro the cold, tattooed heir shows up at the funeral with a contract. “It’s Favino family law,” he says. “When the eldest son dies, his wife belongs to the next heir. That means you’re mine now.” Amelia stares at him in disbelief. “You’re out of your mind if you think I’ll ever marry you.” Alejandro’s voice turns low and dangerous. “You don’t have a choice, querida. You’re part of this family now whether you like it or not.” But Amelia won’t be controlled. Someone killed her husband, and she’ll find out who. Even if it means trusting the one man she swore to hate. Will she follow her heart with the mysterious man at her side, or finish what she started and make every drop of blood on her wedding dress mean something? This time, the betrayed bride won’t forgive. She will fight. She will burn. And she will make them all pay.

Chapter: Infidelity Tension
"Everything," she moaned, arching into him, her hands tangling in his hair. "Touch me... everywhere."He didn't hesitate. Dropping to his knees, he hooked his fingers into her panties and slid them down her legs, his breath hot against her thighs. He kissed his way up, parting her with gentle fingers before his tongue flicked out, tasting her, making her knees buckle."God, yes... just like that," she cried out, gripping his shoulders for support. "Don't stop, please."Harrison looked up at her, his gaze intense. "You're mine tonight," he said, his voice rough with desire, before diving back in, licking and sucking with a rhythm that built the heat inside her fast. She writhed against the door, her moans filling the room as waves of pleasure crashed over her.When she was trembling on the edge, he stood, shedding his own clothes quickly shirt tossed aside, pants kicked off. He lifted her effortlessly, her legs wrapping around his waist as he pressed her back against the door. With

She also sees him. Harrison. Too close. Always too close.He reaches past her and presses the button for the penthouse.The elevator begins to rise. Silence stretches. Thick. Loud.Vivian lets out a breath she didn’t know she was holding. “This was a bad idea,” she says,Harrison doesn’t look at her reflection. He looks at her “You say that like you don’t make bad ideas look intentional.”She scoffs. “That’s your talent for flattery talking.”“Vivian,” he says quietly, “you didn’t call me because you wanted a lecture.”Her jaw tightens. “I called you because I needed someone who wouldn’t tell me what to do.”A beat.“Then don’t ask me to pretend this is nothing,” he replies.The elevator hums as it climbs.She shifts her weight, heels clicking softly. “You’re enjoying this.”His mouth cu

Chapter: You Do Not Own Me
THE FAVINO GRAND MANSION ~ SPAIN The echo of Amelia’s final words—“You do not fucking own me”—hung in the dining room like gun smoke. For a full ten seconds, no one moved, no one breathed.Ariana was the first to move.“Amelia—” she said sharply, already on her feet.Her chair scraped against the marble floor as she rushed after her, heels clicking too fast, too loud. The double doors swung open, then shut behind her with a firm thud.Silence returned. No one spoke. No one even reached for their glass.Then Marisa Favino smiled. It wasn’t warm. It wasn’t amused. It was thin and sharp in a wicked toneShe slowly set her wine glass down, the soft clink sounding far too loud in the still room.“Well,” Marisa said coolly, folding her hands in front of her, “that was… embarrassing.”Elena’s shoulders stiffened. Serena’s fork paused halfway to her mouth.Marisa tilted her head, eyes gleaming with disdain.“I warned you,” she continued, her voice smooth and merciless. “A woman who forgets w

ALEXANDER BLACKWOOD MANSION - MASTER SUITEThe door slammed so hard a crystal vase on the console table shivered.“You seriously just walked out on me? Alexander! Alexander, get back here!”Vivian’s shout echoed through the wide bedroom.Only silence answered.He was gone.She stood there for a long moment, fists clenched, breathing hard. The heat of their argument still clung to her skin, buzzing in her veins. Anger twisted in her chest hot, sharp then slowly cooled into something colder and far more dangerous.A reckless spark lit in her eyes.“Fine,” she muttered to the empty room. “If you want to be petty. If you want to turn this into a power game… then I’ll play.”She crossed the room in quick strides and grabbed her phone from the velvet duvet. Her fingers moved fast, sure, like she already knew what she was going to do.She scrolled once. Stopped.A single letter stared back at her.H.Vivian’s lips curved into a slow, deliberate smile.“Well,” she said softly to herself, thu

Chapter: I Never Belonged To You
Arturo shifted in his seat.“It’s the victim of a long-term theft operation,” Amelia continued. “About two percent of gross revenue has been diverted every quarter for the past eighteen months.”Arturo’s glass shook.Marisa didn’t blink. “Diverted how?”“Through fake operational fees,” Amelia replied. “Fees that don’t exist in the ports they’re assigned to. The money was routed through a shell company registered in Gibraltar.”Silence dropped like a blade.Marisa folded her hands. “And who authorized these fees?”Amelia didn’t look at Arturo.She looked directly at Marisa. “The digital approvals came from credentials assigned to the regional operations liaison.”The silence that followed was suffocating. All eyes locked on Arturo.He exploded from his chair, the legs screeching against the floor. “¡Mentira! A lie! This is… this is sabotage! You!” He pointed a shaking finger at Amelia, spittle forming at the corner of his mouth. “You foreign witch with your computer tricks! You come

Chapter: Waiting For A Slip
BLACKWOOD INDUSTRIES ~ NEW YORK Katherina’s office was quiet when Damien walked in.Too quiet.She was standing by the window, arms crossed, watching the city below like it had personally offended her. She didn’t turn around when she heard the door close.“Well?” she asked coolly. “Did she take the call?”Damien loosened his tie. “She did.”That got her attention. Katherina turned slowly, eyes sharp. “And?”“She didn’t scream. She didn’t deny everything immediately,” Damien said. “She listened.”Katherina’s jaw tightened. “That’s not an answer.”Damien sighed. “She says it’s not her. That she’s not attacking Blackwood and she doesn’t want any negativity now.”Katherina let out a short laugh. “Of course she said that. Amelia has always been good at lying with a straight face.”“She didn’t sound like she was lying,” Damien said quietly. “I know her too well. Trust me.”That set Katherina off.“Oh, for God’s sake,” she snapped. “You called her to get information, not to study her voice
