Katherina’s final wish? To wear the dress Adrianna was supposed to wear and to marry the man she thought was hers. It was supposed to be a sacrifice. It felt like betrayal. Offered half of Damien’s empire as compensation, Adrianna is left broken into pieces and silenced. But broken hearts don’t stay quiet forever. What happens when love demands too much? When family guilt disguises cruelty? When forgiveness is no longer an option? In a world of twisted loyalty and secrets buried as sacrifice, Adrianna must choose walk away quietly… or turn heartbreak into revenge. Extract “She wants to marry me,” Damien said, his voice thick with emotion. “It’s her last wish.” Adrianna’s breath caught in her throat. The perfect wedding, the life they had planned, the vows they were going to say all seemed to fall apart in front of her. “My wedding,” she whispered, her voice trembling with heartbreak, “was supposed to be our day.” Damien stepped closer, desperation in his eyes. “I’m offering you half my properties. Two million dollars. I want you to understand… this isn’t just about money. It’s about family.” Her jaw clenched. Anger began to burn inside her like a wildfire. “Compensation? Is that what I am to you? A deal? A consolation prize?”Something you can pay off?”

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

Chapter: Wedding Of The Century ~1
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.

THE LANGSTON HOTEL ~ NEW YORK A quiet, final click came from the door.Not a knock.The sound of a keycard being used.Vivian’s heart slammed hard against her chest, wild and fast. Someone was trying to get in.For one frozen second, she couldn’t move. The room felt too small. One door. No escape.Harrison was already on his feet, yanking on his trousers, moving fast and sharp. His shirt still hung over the back of the chair, forgotten.Vivian sucked in a slow breath.Panic would destroy her.Thinking would save her.She looked at Harrison. “Bathroom. Now. Lock it and don’t come out unless I say so.”Harrison hesitated. “Viv—”“Please,” she said quietly.He nodded and disappeared into the bathroom.Vivian picked up her phone again. Her hands were steady this time.Before she could move, her phone buzzed again. Not a call this time. A video call request. Alexander’s name flashed on the screen.Her thumb hovered over the red decline button. It trembled.Don’t answer, her mind screamed.

Chapter: The Sanctuary He Must Seek
Sofia smirked. “Exactly why you have to call. You don’t mention the ships. You act concerned, loyal, sympathetic. You say you heard about the ‘family distress’ and your heart aches for her. You make her see you as the loyal, concerned daughter of a true Spanish family. Win the mother, you’re halfway to the son.”Gabriella narrowed her eyes, smirking. “And the son?”Sofia’s tone turned sly, almost dangerous. “The son comes next. But only if you play it cool. Calm. Elegant. Supportive. Not demanding. Not pouting. You’re New Gabriella now. She needs to see you as part of the family, not a threat or a disappointment.”Gabriella let out a quiet laugh. “So I have to pretend to be the perfect daughter-in-law… while he’s out there thinking he’s in control?”“Exactly,” Sofia said, almost gleeful. “Let him think he’s running the show. Let him feel powerful. Meanwhile, you’re the one pulling the strings.”Gabriella leaned back, glancing at her reflection in the mirror. “I like this version of

Chapter: The American Heiress
FAVINO MANSION – ALEJANDRO’S STUDYThe door opened without a knock.Marisa Favino stood in the doorway, calm and perfectly put together, her figure outlined by the brighter hallway behind her. She stepped inside and closed the door softly. Her eyes moved over the mess, then settled on her son.There was no worry in her expression. Only judgment.“So,” she said coolly, breaking the silence. “The American woman has finally shown you who she really is.”Alejandro didn’t look up.“She defied me,” he said through clenched teeth. “In public. In front of you, Arturo, Aunt Lucia and my sisters, Elena and Serena. She made a fool of me and walked out.”Marisa moved deeper into the room, her heels silent on the thick rug. She stopped in front of his desk and looked down at him.“And now you sit here,” she said coolly, “drinking and sulking. How predictable.”His head snapped up, eyes burning. “This isn’t about my ego—”“It’s all about your ego,” she cut in. Her voice was sharp and unyielding. “Y

Chapter: Engaged not Owned
“I asked you a question, Vivian,” Alexander said sharply. “And you’re taking way too long to answer. Are you cheating on me?”Vivian’s voice stayed steady, but her eyes kept flicking to Harrison on the bed behind her.“No, Alex. I’m not cheating. I just went out for a walk to clear my head.”“A walk?” Alexander’s voice was sharp. “Really? Funny because your GPS says, for the third time, that you’re at the Langston Hotel.”Vivian’s eyes flicked to the bed.Harrison was still there shirt tossed over a chair, sheets messy, the room smelling like regret.“Don’t lie to me,” he continued. “I’m standing right in front of the hotel right now. Which room are you in? Let’s talk face to face like adults. I’m tired of you making decisions without me.”She swallowed.“You may be the CEO,” Alexander said coldly, “but you’re not the founder of this company. Any major decision like appointing an EVP has to come through me so I can vet the person properly. But no. You just had to announce it in a dam

Chapter: The Queen Returns
PRIVATE JET ~ IN FLIGHTAriana buckled herself into the seat across from her, watching silently. She reached into a cooler and pulled out two cans of sparkling water, sliding one across the table.“So,” Ariana said, grinning. “We’re officially fugitives from Spanish high society. Pretty cool, right? Do we get nicknames? Should I start practicing lock picking?”Amelia took the can but didn’t open it, letting the cold metal seep into her hands.Ariana leaned forward, eyes sparkling. “I mean, we ditched that fancy dinner like action heroes. What’s the plan when we land, boss lady? Storm Stone Enterprises with a subpoena in one hand and a latte in the other?”Amelia gave a small, tired smile. She turned from the window to face her. “It’s simple at first. We find out who forged my company’s signature on that shell corporation. Someone’s trying to make Stone Enterprises look dirty. We dig until we find the truth.”Ariana raised an eyebrow, pretending to be serious. "Ooh, detective mode acti

Chapter: The Moment She Walked Away
ALEJANDRO MASTER SUITE~ SPAIN“I just exposed rot in your family’s business,” she said. “I handed you the truth on a silver plate. And your mother’s response was to pat my head and say ‘adequately’ before sending the criminal off to a beach house.”Her voice dropped, colder now.“I’m not a pet. I’m not a decoration. And I will not be managed.”Silence dropped into the room like a weight.Alejandro broke it first.“She handled it,” he snapped. “The Favino way. Quietly. Internally. No scandal. No mess that destroys all of us.” He threw his hand out in frustration. “And you walking out like that, in front of everyone made me look weak. You made this family look divided in front of the one person who still holds real power here.”Amelia let out a short, bitter laugh.“Your family is already divided,” she shot back, stepping closer to him. Her eyes burned. “It’s built on secrets. On stolen money. On deals no one is brave enough to say out loud. I just exposed one of them.”She shook her h
