“Laura!” Alex screamed her name in fear, but the cops who accompanied him didn't think twice to send bullets into Dexter's skin. He finally caught up to her “no please, Laura, please stay with me.“ He begged, “someone please call an ambulance.“ He took off her shirt and placed it on her back, he put pressure on the gunshot wounds to stop the bleeding. “Alex I'm tired, I want to go to sleep.“ She muttered in a faint voice. “No don't sleep, keep your fucking eyes open Laura, if you die I'll never forgive you.“ He threatened. “I love you, Alexander Quinn, I love you so much,” she coughed out blood, her bloody hands holding his cheek. “Take care of Kimberly, tell her I said I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise, I'm leaving her.“ She cried. “Shut up Laura, shut up please,” Alex begged tears streaming down his cheeks. Laura's hand fell from his cheek leaving it cold and stained with her blood, her eyes voluntarily shut themselves. “No, baby please,” he hugged her body and c

“Did you get it?“ Alex asked the police detective who came with a tracking expert. He learned his lesson after Mason kidnapped Laura, he was prepared for this although he didn't know Dexter would be the one who would try to take his woman. “Got it,” replied the detective. Meanwhile, Laura woke up and was surprised to find herself in a different room and not the hotel room, the last thing she remembered was she was at the poolside looking for coco when a hand out of nowhere drugged her. Dexter came in carrying a tray of food in his hands, he has this creepy smile on his face. “What is happening, Dexter? Where is everyone?“ She asked. “It's just you and me my love, there's no one to come in between us.“ He muttered looking her in the eyes. Laura got scared. “What do you mean? I thought we were going back home.“ Laura could feel the change in attitude emanating from him. “We are at home baby girl, I finally have you all to myself, I can stop pretending and move on wit

…..Flashback continues… When her mother started showing her kindness, Dexter could tell that she was only pretending. He watched from afar how she would smile whenever her mother showed her fake love. There was a time he wanted to take her away but he was scared of the fact that Alex would find out his motive. Sandra and Laura went to the mall to shop, Dexter stood and watch her when Alex tried flirting with her and she acted like he was not existing. Dexter secretly smiled, and the feelings he had her for grew stronger.Laura hurry up, we don't have all day." She heard her mom yell from downstairs, giving herself one final look in the mirror, she hurriedly went down to meet her mother. Her beautiful yellow flower gown swayed from side to side. "Sorry, mom, I didn't mean to waste time." her mom just smiled and stared at her lovingly. "let's go?" she asked her and she nodded in response. Sandra was not at home, she had gone to a party last night and hadn't returned home. T

Time flies when you are having fun, it was time for them to go back home. Laura had fun here, but she couldn't wait to go back home. “I will be back, make sure everything is set and we'll leave right away.“ Alex said to Laura, he had a little work to do before they leave. He kissed Laura hard before he left. Laura packed their bags, and she made sure everything was set for them to leave. Kimberly was happy to go back home, she wanted to go back to her room, on her bed. “Mommy I think I lost my coco,” Kimberly said, coco is her toy. “Let's look for it,” together they searched her room, they looked under her bed, and in her cupboard but coco was nowhere to be found. “Check in your grandpa's room and I'll search in the lobby. The both of them went in search of the doll, Laura looked everywhere but coco was not in the lobby. She went to the pool but it wasn't there, she huffed out air. It was almost getting dark and almost everyone was either in their room or at the restau

“All I want is a reaction from you Alex, you can't be fine. Give me something, scream, shout, just do something.“ She sobbed. “You want a reaction?“ He asked, “here it is, I wish I didn't kill Mason, his death was way too simple for him, I wish I could resurrect him and kill him again and again and again until I am satisfied.“ He screamed at her face “but one thing is for sure, I am not mad at you, I am not angry.“ He hugged again and this time she didn't push him away, she held him instead “But I am pregnant,” she whispered. “It could be mine and even if it is his, we will raise it together. It didn't ask for such a life.“ He kissed her hair. “Why are you so kind?“ She asked out of the blue. “It's only for you, you know I am not this kind when it comes to the world.“ he tried to make her laugh and it worked. “You should rest Laura, I need a bottle or two of beers.“ He muttered. She lay on the bed and he covered her with the duvet. The moment he walked out of the room h

Alice suddenly stood up and went to their table. “I want my daughter!“ She declared. Alex had had enough of her stupidity so he decided to talk, “I'm tired of hearing your voice, Alice get your filthy self out of this place. You know me and you know what I am capable of, I don't want to hurt you.“ He said in a dangerous voice that sent shivers down her spine. “You can't send me away Alex, I know you love me and I love you too. Let's forget about the past, I know you are doing this because of that slut but she isn't important.“ She held his face with her hands. Alex held her hand and dragged her outside, the crowd followed them, and they couldn't miss the drama. Alex pulled her all the way to the pool and pushed her in. He went down to her level and said, “You needed that to cool off, it seems like the good deed Laura did for you in the morning wasn't enough. Take my advice and go back to where you came from, stay away from me and my family. You know what I can do Alice, d

Zoya’s POVTwo weeks had passed, dad’s doctor said he could be discharged.Today was his last day in the hospital, we had finalized everything and signed every paper. The antiseptic smell of the ward that had become so familiar over these past weeks clung to my clothes like a second skin, and I found myself already dreading how much I would miss the steady beep of his heart monitor the sound that had reassured me every single night that he was still here.“This wheelchair was a gift from Vito?” Vittoria asked from the corner, running her fingers along the sleek chrome handles.I had called her and we talked, she apologized, and I did too for overreacting. She promised never to keep anything from me again, no matter what, and honestly, our relationship had grown stronger than it ever was before.“Yes,” I replied, a small smile tugging at the corners of my mouth.Vito had been such a blessing and a gentleman. He had kept his promise to me, he hired a nurse for dad and a nanny for Emi

**Zoya's POV**After Vito dropped me off, he told me to get ready. As soon as my dad woke up, I would be moving into his place. He’d already arranged for a private nurse to care for my father and a nanny for Emilia.“Are we going to see Grandpa?” Emilia asked from the backseat, her small voice bright with anticipation.“Yes, we are,” I replied, offering her a reassuring smile in the rearview mirror.“Okay… Can Daddy come with us?” She blinked up at me with those wide, innocent eyes that always tugged at my heart.I gripped the steering wheel a little tighter. *Why does she keep asking about Benito? What has he been telling her?* Ever since she came back from spending time with him, she’d been gently pushing me toward her father.I’ll have to have a word with Benito. Using our daughter to get to me is a hard no.“Your daddy is probably busy, sweetheart. We shouldn’t disturb him,” I said softly.I pulled into the hospital parking lot, the tires crunching over loose gravel. After turn

Benito’s POVI had just dropped Vera off at her place, even though she had insisted on coming back with me.Now I’m in my room, pacing back and forth across the polished floor, the faint creak beneath my steps grating on my nerves. My mind won’t settle. It keeps spinning, circling the same problem, what to do now, what my next move should be.This isn’t just about marrying Zoya to secure the position I want. No. It’s deeper than that. This is about my stepbrother taking her away from me.After everything I told him… after I trusted him with my plans, plans to make Zoya mine but he beat me to it. Smiled in my face, pretended to be on my side, and then stole her right out from under me.My jaw tightens at the thought.What can I do to make Zoya leave him?Threaten to sue for custody? Tell her that if she doesn’t leave Vito, I’ll take Emilia away?I exhale sharply, dragging a hand through my hair.No, that won’t work, not anymore, she has Vito backing her now, I would lose badly.But E

**Zoya's POV**Vito’s hand rested possessively on the small of my back as we walked back into the hospital. The warmth of his palm seeped through the thin fabric of my shirt, sending unwelcome sparks dancing across my skin. I hated how my body reacted to him, so traitorously while my mind screamed to pull away. My heart hammered against my ribs, a chaotic rhythm of worry for my dad and something far more dangerous: the man beside me.We stopped in front of the same double glass doors. Vito leaned forward slightly, his broad chest brushing my shoulder, and nodded to the nurse stationed nearby. Without a word, she pressed a button. The doors hissed open just enough for a clearer view inside.“There,” Vito murmured, his voice low and rough against my ear. “Better?”I pressed closer to the glass, my breath fogging the cool surface. My dad lay motionless in the bed, surrounded by beeping monitors and IV lines. Tubes snaked across his chest, and his face looked pale, almost fragile u

**Zoya's POV**Benito stood rooted to the spot where I had left him, his feet refusing to carry him forward or backward. His intense gaze bored into the back of my head like a burning laser while I stared fixedly at the ER doors, willing them to open.Vera was also glaring at me, her sharp eyes drilling holes into my skin with pure hostility.This was the kind of unwanted attention I desperately didn’t want, but I chose to ignore them both. I was done talking to either of them.After what felt like an eternity, Benito finally walked back to his girlfriend. Yet even after Vera grumbled loudly that she wanted to leave, Benito made no effort to move. He stayed right there, stubborn and silent.Finally, the ER doors swung open with a soft whoosh, and the doctor stepped out. Beads of sweat streaked down his tired face, glistening under the harsh hospital lights. I jumped up quickly and rushed toward him, almost crashing into his chest.“How is my dad? Was the surgery a success? Is he g
