Chapter: Chapter 42I walked into the club, heading straight for Leslie’s bedroom. One of her girls stepped in front of me.“Sir… let me inform her,” she said politely.I looked at her, confused. Since when did Leslie need to be informed about my arrival? Was it because I hadn’t been around in a while? Had the rules changed?I ignored her and kept walking.When I opened the door, Leslie was on the bed with two guys—one thrusting into her, the other with his cock buried deep in her throat. The moment I stepped in, they froze, pulling out immediately.“Out,” I ordered.They scrambled like I was the grim fucking reaper.“Brant…” Leslie’s voice quivered, like she’d been caught doing something wrong.“Why are you acting guilty?” I asked coldly. “I’m not here for entertainment. That’s why I told them to leave. I came to warn you.”She looked genuinely shaken—eyes dim, lips slightly parted, her usual sharp confidence nowhere in sight. I’d never seen her like this.She stepped off the bed and walked toward me, c

Chapter: Chapter 41Brant I was in the gym with Jericho. I had hired him to be my personal trainer for the upcoming fight. Apart from being a skilled fighter, Jericho is a great trainer. He’s worked with many people, including those involved in street fights.When I arrived today, he asked me about Marirose. I told him she was fine, and I was genuinely glad she was. I was relieved that she wasn't pregnant, and that wasn’t the reason I hadn’t had sex with her since we returned to the mansion.And the real reason she fainted was the physical toll of Leslie’s brutality. Even though the scar is now almost invisible, the emotional trauma remains deeply rooted in her mind.That was Leslie’s goal with what she called “punishment.” She was very different from Lucas. While Lucas kills on the spot, Leslie makes sure the pain stays with you, engraved into your soul. Ever since she told me about the fight, I haven’t gone to see her. She exhausts me mentally and emotionally.The ironic thing is, the only woman my wo

Chapter: Chapter 40After dinner, I went into the kitchen to find Marirose. I was honestly relieved she hadn’t said anything at the table. She had simply served us and left. That gave me hope… even if it was thin.“Marirose…” I said softly, walking toward her.She turned to face me, her expression cold. “What do you want?” she asked.“I need to talk to you. Privately,” I said gently.“I don’t want to talk to you,” she replied. “And just so you know, I’m going to tell Brant everything. I’m not hiding anything from him. He has my loyalty.”“You can’t do this to me… I’m your friend,” I pleaded.“I’m not your friend, Sable. I’m just your ex-boyfriend’s sister. And yes, I’m going to tell Brant everything—about Asher, about who you really are, and what you’ve done.”“Why would you do that? Have I ever done anything to hurt you? After everything I did to help you—”“Oh, so now you’re throwing that in my face?” she snapped, pain leaking into her voice.I paused. Damn. I was doing this the wrong way.I took a dee

Chapter: Chapter 39“What are you doing in my bedroom?” I asked, startled to find Brant sitting casually on my bed.He stood and walked toward me, his expression intense.“You tell me… because I don’t know what the fuck you’re doing to me, Sable. You’re driving me nuts,” he said, voice low but charged. “Why were you crying?”I let out a small, shaky chuckle, even though part of me wanted to scream.He had no idea how much he was affecting me too.“You don’t have to know… and I’m fine,” I said quietly.He didn’t believe me. I could see it in his face, in the way his jaw clenched, in the fire behind his eyes like he was ready to protect, ready to burn, ready to hurt whoever made me cry. But that couldn’t be true. Brant would never do that for me. That’s just what I wanted to believe. At least, that’s what I told myself to keep from losing my mind.He closed the distance between us, his arm snaking around my waist and pulling me in until there wasn’t a sliver of space between our bodies. With his other hand

Chapter: Chapter 38Brant As everyone left the room—even the men who had been clearing the bloody, lifeless body—they abandoned their task without a word. The body remained, a grim reminder of the devastation that Lucas had just caused.Leslie turned her full attention to me. She stepped closer, closing the distance between us.“What the hell is fucking wrong with you?” she snapped, hitting me on the chest with the palm of her hand.She raised her other hand to strike me again, but I caught it. I held both her wrists, keeping her in place.“What the fuck is wrong with you?” I shot back.“Why are you treating me like this? Is this about Marirose?” she asked. Her voice cracked slightly. Her eyes welled with tears, though none spilled.“Marirose has nothing to do with this. Don’t drag her into it,” I said.“Oh, you think I didn’t know you took her home?” she hissed.“I had to. To protect her from you. I didn’t want to wake up one day and hear you tried to kill her. Have you forgotten what your crazy ass di

Chapter: Chapter 37Sable It’s been a few days since Brant brought Marirose to the mansion. I’ve done my best to avoid being seen by her. I even hid my scent—only from her. Yeah, I can do that. I can hide myself from a particular person if I want to. Hiding is what I do best in this life that’s treated me so badly. That’s been so cruel to me.As for Brant… let’s just say we’re both ignoring each other. Does it hurt? Yeah, it hurts. But I’ve thrown all my focus into Joss.We’re having a great time together, though I have no idea what our relationship status is. Sure, we’re having sex, but he hasn’t asked me to be his girlfriend, so nothing’s official. Still, I know he likes me. Sometimes I wonder if I’m just another Betty.Right now, we’re at a famous and beautiful restaurant Joss invited me to. I let him choose our menu—he knows my preferences, and I’m not picky when it comes to food.“So, how’s work lately?” I asked, as the food arrived and we started digging in.“It’s great, actually. You know, somet

Chapter: EpilogueMarissa stood before the tall, ornate mirror, her reflection bathed in the soft glow of the dressing room lights. The wedding gown she wore enveloped her in a cascade of ivory silk and lace, a vision of bridal elegance she had once only dared to imagine. In her wildest dreams, she never envisioned herself as a bride, let alone a mother of two, preparing to wed the love of her life, Efrain Guerra. Stella, looking stunning as the maid of honor, gazed at Marissa with admiration. "Do you remember when I told you that one day you'd find an extraordinary man and walk down the aisle in a breathtaking gown, just like this?" she reminisced. Marissa's eyes flickered with uncertainty as she surveyed her reflection. "Do you believe it will all work out? That I can truly find happiness?" she confided. "Stop doubting yourself, Marissa," Stella admonished gently. A gentle knock resonated through the door, prompting Stella to invite the visitor inside. Juan entered the room, exuding confide

Efrain's heart pounded in his chest as he struggled to comprehend what was happening."What do you mean, someone took him?" Efrain demanded. Marissa's eyes widened in horror as she clutched the sheets tightly. "Who would take our baby?" she whispered, her voice trembling with disbelief.The nurse's hands shook as she tried to explain.

Chapter: 82. Stolen InnocenceA year had passed, and now the Guerra's and Valiente's stood anxiously outside the delivery room."I'm going in," Efrain declared to Juan, his anxiety evident in his tone. "If no one tells me how Marissa is, I'll find out myself."A doctor emerged from the delivery room."Doctor, has the baby arrived?" Efrain inquired, his voice shaky with anticipation."Not yet," the doctor replied."Is Marissa okay?" Efrain's words stumbled out.All eyes were fixed on the doctor, awaiting the news."Yes, she specifically asked for you," the doctor confirmed, "She wants you in the delivery room.""Is my daughter okay? I need to be there if there's any complication," Rosairo expressed her concern, with Valentina offering comfort by holding her arm."She's doing fine," the doctor reassured them, then turned to Efrain. "Let's go.""Let's go," Efrain urged."She'll be alright," Valentina reassured Rosairo, casting a supportive glance at Juan, who returned her smile.Marissa was in the labor room, surroun

Chapter: 81. Inside Marissa's Heart"Will you hurry, please... we're going to be late," Valentina urged impatiently.Efrain descended the stairs with his luggage in tow. "Will you just relax? It's still afternoon," he replied, attempting to placate her.Ignoring his response, Valentina marched out of the house and settled into the back seat of the car. Efrain loaded his luggage into the trunk before joining her in the back seat, and the driver started the car, pulling away from the house.As they were driving, their path was suddenly blocked by a line of cars. "What's going on?" Valentina exclaimed, peering out of the window in confusion.Efrain stepped out of the car to investigate, only to find Stella, Ignacio, Paula, Danna, and Carlos waiting for them. "What's going on?" he asked, puzzled by the unexpected gathering.Marissa approached him with a serenade band and began to serenade him, her voice filled with emotion.Marissa came closer to Efrain, who looked surprised to see her, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Chapter: 80. Trust in LoveValentina entered Efrain's room quietly, observing him as he slept. She couldn't help but notice how much he had changed. Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine her brother would fall in love after all these years. Before returning to town, Valentina will ensure that both Efrain and Marissa realized how deeply they couldn't live without each other. They belonged together, and she was determined to make them see that.Valentina released the drapes, letting the morning sunlight gently fall on Efrain's face. Efrain rubbed his eyes as the sunlight poured in through the open drapes. "Damn it," he muttered, then noticed Valentina standing before him. "Why did you have to wake me up like this?"Valentina settled herself on the edge of the bed. "Listen, I came to take you back to town to stay with me for a few days, away from here. And you won't say no to me because... because you can't.""Vale, I won't say no to you because I can't keep living like this, with everyone seeing me this wa
