The room was nowhere near the chaos she had just escaped from. Everything around her felt pristine and almost unnaturally calm. The faint scent of antiseptic that was applied to her scratched knees lingered in the air. A nurse carefully checked her pulse, blood pressure and other vitals before making a few notes on the chart. Mili barely paid attention. Her mind was still somewhere else. The warehouse... How she fired that gun. Lucia collapsing into her arms. And then the raging fire. Then, the door opened quietly. Mili's head turned. A familiar face appeared at the entrance, accompanied by the warmest smile she had seen all night. "Rose..." Rose walked into the suite almost immediately. Her expression s

Daniel glanced back once before answering, "It wasn't difficult to guess. He obviously wanted to manipulate the situation into his favour, and he kept glancing at the ceiling every few seconds." "Yeah." Kevin laughed quietly. "I noticed that too." Daniel pulled a cigarette from his pocket and placed it between his lips. "And I also bluffed them all. Tried to turn them against each other." A faint smirk appeared on his face. "Kind of worked, I believe." Kevin looked back at him as he helped him with his lighter. "You should learn from the best." Daniel finally looked at his elder brother. "Oh, come on." "What?" Kevin shrugged innocently. "I'm just saying... I'm a good teacher. But you are doing better!" Daniel gave him a sideways look while taking a slow drag. "Better?" Kevin looked at his injur

Meanwhile, Tulip stood frozen. Her eyes remained fixed on Enzo. He was terrified. Not for himself. For her. "Please..." Enzo's voice trembled as he looked at Kevin. "Whatever you want from me, take it. Just don't hurt her." "Do it," Kevin indicated towards Lucia. Tulip's lips parted slightly. She couldn't understand him anymore. The man she had loved her entire life had deceived her. And the man she had spent years resenting... The man she had betrayed... Was standing before her now, willing to give up his own life for hers. Enzo looked toward her again. "Tulip..." He called. She couldn't answer. Her eyes filled with tears. She had imagined death so many times during the past few hours. A part of her had even wished for it. But there was a life growing inside her. The child was no longer merely growing inside her body. It had already been growing inside her soul. She couldn't choose death for herself anymore. Not when another life depended on her heartbeat. Yet surviving

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • The gunshot was loud enough to make the entire warehouse fall silent. Mili had squeezed her eyes shut instinctively, fearing that sound might have ended her husband; her heart almost ceased beating before the soft sound of Daniel breathing out her name, 'Mili', rang in her ear. Mili slowly opened her eyes and looked around the room as everyone else turned toward the entrance. The huge hall was still smoky, filled with an ugly metallic smell, but what stood at the doorway stunned everyone except Daniel. Kevin Knight stood at the doorway. His glasses remained perfectly in place despite the chaos around him. But what caught everyone's attention wasn't the gun in his hand. It was the woman standing directly in front of him... Tulip. Kevin had one arm firmly around her while the barrel of his gun rested against the side of her head. Tulip was coughing violently, tears streaming down her face as she struggled to breathe throug

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Tulip couldn't keep up with Nacho's pace. Before she reached the doorway, the heavy metal door slammed shut once again. The lock clicked from outside. "Nacho!" she screamed while rushing toward it. "Open the door! Please!" The fading sound of his footsteps echoed farther and farther down the narrow corridor until it disappeared. Tulip kept banging on the door and begging until her palms turned sore and her voice became hoarse. Though, nothing but the silence answered her pleas. Meanwhile, in that hall, Mili was unable to stop staring at the rough ropes around her wrists. Now and then she could feel Daniel's shoulder brushing lightly against hers while the vile profanities of the men surrounding them rang in her ears. Yet she had never felt farther away from him. Her eyes cautiously drifted toward him again and again. Daniel wasn't looking at her. His attention remained fixed on the older men talking about his destruction.

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • The door opened from the outside, unannounced. Tulip immediately stepped back from it in panic before the metal door opened harshly. Nacho walked inside quickly only to freeze for a second after noticing her standing near the entrance already trying to undo the latch from inside. His expression immediately hardened with concern. "What were you trying to do?" he demanded sharply. Before Tulip could properly answer, Nacho grabbed her wrist and pulled her further toward the middle of the room. Tulip stumbled slightly while trying to keep up with his pace. Her other hand instinctively held her stomach protectively as discomfort crossed her face immediately. "Nacho-" she breathed out painfully. "You're hurting me." Only then did he loosen his grip slightly. Tulip looked at him being nervous. "I heard voices from outside," she whispered, "What's happening here?" "Nothing," Nacho replied instantly. "You don't need to involve yo

• • • Rosalia's POV -------------- "Mumma, what's this?" Reyna, my little curious daughter who is seven now asked out of nowhere, just as I feared last night. Before I could freshen up and put on some concealer on those hickeys from last night, my babies were in my bed. I should have left the bed early. "Looks like the huge spider bit mumma before I killed it yesterday," Rex tried to make sense with his sister. Indeed an indomitable spider it was, I smiled to myself. But wait .. what? "You killed a huge spider yesterday?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at my naughty son, who looked rather proud of his actions. "Yeah, I did. Aaron was so afraid of it. But I killed it for him. I wish I had a gun to eliminate whatever frightens my brother," Rex huffed, puffing out his cheeks. His words sent an unsettling shiver down my spine. "A gun, Rex?" I repeated, brushing a hand through his messy hair. "There are other ways to deal with fear, my son." It bothers me so damn much how

• • • Rosalia's POV -------------- "Do I need to remind this cunt .. who does it belong to?" He seethed in my ear pulling goosebumps all over my naked body. He slightly smirked in victory observing my vulnerability under his dominance. "Answer me, wife!" Kevin pressed again forcing my chin up making me look into the mirror before which I was standing, heaving in my absolute nakedness. It's been nine years since our marriage, Rex and Reyna are seven now, but still, this man is ever possessive as before. His possessiveness and protectiveness of me grow even further with time if that is even possible. There was a guy, insignificant like every other journalist, who was asking for my time for a private interview. Maybe he is fresh in his respective field that's why he's unaware of the fact that I do not do solo interviews, my husband does not allow me to. Kevin utterly hated the way he looked at me being amused like a little smitten guy, and now I'm being reminded of my

. . . After everyone left, Kevin gently scooped Rose into his arms, carrying her up to their bedroom. He then led her to the bathroom where he had prepared a romantic bath, the tub adorned with delicate rose petals and surrounded by the soft glow of scented candles. Gentle, romantic music filled the air and a bottle of fancy wine awaited them. Before Rose could surprise Kevin with the news of her success, she found he had already created this intimate, cosy arrangement just for them to celebrate it. Rose's heart swelled with warmth. No matter how much time passed, Kevin always had a way of making her feel like the most cherished woman in the entire world. It wasn't just the grand gestures, but the small, thoughtful details ....like how he had lit her favourite lavender-scented candles, knowing they relaxed her, or how he had drawn the bath to the exact temperature she liked. After giving birth, her favourites would change every once in a while but Rose could not even guess w

Three years later ___________ REX AND REYNA • • • 'IMPACT' Top 10 Under 30 Most Influential Women of the Year - ROSALIA KNIGHT Rose admired her picture on the glossy magazine cover, her fingers grazing over the newly launched diamond label she had worked tirelessly to establish. The name "Rosalia Knight", printed in bold, elegant letters under the headline, brought a satisfied smile to her lips. She still remembered the first time she had discovered her face in an entertainment column. It had felt surreal, even intrusive. But now... Now, she was a force to be reckoned with. She had carved her own empire, standing tall not only as Kevin Knight's wife but as Rosalia Knight - an influential entrepreneur and a mother of three. Unable to contain her excitement, she ordered the driver to hurry back home. She couldn't wait to brag about her recent ventures in front of her husband. The moment Rose stepped into the grand Knight Mansion, she was greeted by the sound of t

• • • A week passed by and Rose was at home steadily recovering from her postpartum. Her happiness knew no bounds with her babies safe and sound, cherishing beautifully in her arms. She had been deeply concerned about their health due to the premature delivery, but the doctor had assured her that they were perfectly healthy. The anxiety that had clouded her heart during those initial days had slowly dissipated, replaced by immense relief and gratitude. Despite the joy, a shadow of sorrow lingered in her heart. Rose had previously decided to give Maria the honour of naming her babies, acknowledging her invaluable support during the most critical moment of her life. But fate had been merciless. With Maria's tragic passing, the decision had slipped from her grasp. However, she chose to honour another tradition. One that Maria herself had informed her about during her pregnancy. According to the family's old customs, the first born boy and the first born girl would inherit the m

▪⬞▪ Like a fragile bird trapped in a storm, she felt the weight of his presence suffocating her every hope of escape. ▪⬞▪ The Knight family's middle aged consigliere produced some paper and put it on the front table. Two of the maids were standing at a far distance to provide if something was needed. A few men were standing outside the room and Miliani, shaking like a little leaf, was forcefully made to sit beside Daniel. Till then Miliani was fearing if he would force her to marry someone among the men present there but when the fretful realisation gnawed on her that she was about to be wedlocked by the man she could not hold herself stable in front of, it was too overwhelming and intimidating for her to take in. Daniel with his beautiful cursive writing signed the papers almost immediately, he was just a small step away from ascending to the pinnacle of his authority. Should he be bothered by this girl's reluctance and snivels? .. never. He strived hard, fought for year
