Chapter: Chapter 7 — Name That Must Not Be MentionedAdrielle Hale“Did you know about this?” My question is direct.Lyla doesn’t look away from me, but sighs deeply, giving me answers to my doubts.“He arrived in Los Angeles this morning.”Great, what great friends I have!Even though I know he arrived in Los Angeles today, I was hoping Lyla would tell me something she knew. I feel like she knows something, something she’s not telling me. Her eyes reveal it.“I know, but you should have told me.” I shake my head in denial.“How do you know? And how could I tell you something?” Lyla asks, gesturing toward me. “It’s not something I have to tell you, that’s up to Pedro.”We’re at the hospital. Sofia felt sick during the reading of the will and fainted in the arms of her stupid *ssh*l* of a son. I've been warning her about her high blood pressure for days, she can't get stressed or go through moments like this. Reading Max's will made her feel like this. I'm still trying to understand that he left almost half of his assets to Amanda and he

Chapter: Chapter 6 — Maxwell Hernandez's Last WishesPedro HernandezThe company is still the same, in the same place, although the employees have changed. Max never stayed with the same people for more than five years. We had a little trouble getting in, since the journalists seemed to be aware of what was going on. They surrounded my mother like hawks hunting prey. I'm glad they didn't recognize me, or I would have been shot down with enormous questions about my disappearance. Adrielle would also be shocked to find out that I was back, as would Victor, although I believe his wife has already told him.The hall is still huge, with dark marble decorating the floor and walls of the reception. We are in the headquarters, the parent company, where everything about the other branches is coordinated. If I remember correctly, a few floors above us are the casinos and at the top of the building, the administrative part of the company. The valet took our car while my mother, Bruno and I went inside.I'm still uncomfortable about this, this idea

Chapter: Chapter 5 – Friendly RelationsPedro Hernandez“I’m so happy you’re home. It’s been so many years, so long without you.”My mother’s tone betrays how much she suffered in my absence—though she wasn’t the only one.“Yeah, it has. But I’m back now, and Max won’t keep me away again,” I say firmly.She looks at me, her eyes glistening.“You’ve grown so handsome. A strong, grown man.” Her hand gently touches my bearded face. “I’m sorry it took me so long to bring you back, mijo.”I offer a small smile, trying to comfort her. None of this is her fault. The only one to blame is Maxwell Hernandez.“How did you find out?”“He left us a video explaining what he did to you.” Her voice is solemn, heavy. “He also left something for you-on a flash drive. I didn’t intrude. That’s between you two. But the moment I found out where you were, I sent Bruno immediately.”I nod in agreement.“Even after seven years, I still can’t understand why he wanted to tear me away from Adrielle. I can’t forgive him for that.” I don’t meet her eyes

Chapter: Chapter 4 – The Return of Pedro HernandezAdrielle HaleI’m at Los Angeles General Hospital, in my office. I’ve been seeing patients all morning. Some have undergone surgeries and require meticulous follow-up—I can’t risk complications like blood clots or infections. I take my job seriously and don’t want any issues with my patients, nor do I want to lose any of them.The door to my office opens, and I see Ross holding a cup of coffee. She’s my secretary—kind and attentive.“I brought you coffee, Dr. Williams. Just how you like it,” she says with a smile, setting the cup on my desk.“Thank you, Ross,” I reply, picking it up to take a sip.Even through the protective sleeve, I feel the heat against my fingers. Ross sighs as she sits in the chair across from me. She’s been a little laid-back some days this week, but I can’t blame her—I’ve been overloading her with new patients for days now.“Any appointments today, Ross?” I ask, curious about my schedule, which she usually manages.She turns to me, studying my face carefully.“

Chapter: Chapter 3 – The Price of Love: Part IIPedro HernandezAdie and I stayed in bed all afternoon. I don't think either of us wanted to get up, but we had to. We needed to get back home today. She has to be at the university early, and I don’t want to risk us getting so lost in each other that she ends up late. My priority is her, but I want her priority to be school. Over the years, I’ve watched her pour herself into her studies. Her parents, Joseph and Elizabeth, are proud of her—so is her younger brother, Jackson. Adrielle is different from any woman I’ve ever met in my life. I want her to achieve her dreams, and I want to be right by her side when she does.“I have to go, but I’ll see you tomorrow,” I promise, caressing her face.Adrielle hasn’t even stepped out of the car and she’s already pouting, like someone who doesn’t want to part ways. It’s like a child denied candy—though there’s nothing innocent about this woman.“I’ve got Anatomy in the morning, but we’ll see each other after ten,” she says in a gentle tone.“Alr

Chapter: Chapter 2 — The Price of Love: Part IPedro HernandezSeven Years AgoAdie and I are at the countryside house outside the city. With the end of classes, we managed to find some time for ourselves. It’s been a hectic few days for her due to a semester full of extracurricular activities from medical school. I thought a romantic weekend would be a good escape from our university obligations. She’s in her third year of med school, while I’m studying business. It’s my second year, and I’m only doing it because of Max. I was still lost when I finished high school—I had no idea what I wanted to major in, but my father always said I should study to take over the company, Max Industries. I find that name a bit presumptuous—who names a company after themselves? Well, my father did. Max Industries doesn’t just operate in the industrial sector; we have a stake in electric car companies, CIO, and casino chains spread across many cities, including Vegas, the city of bets.My father left on a business trip a few days ago, which gave me
