LOGINAfter her father’s sudden death, Sofía discovers a shocking clause in his will: she must marry before turning twenty-eight, or the company they built together will pass to her reckless cousin. Determined to protect her father’s legacy, Sofía embarks on a desperate search for a groom. Her first choice, Roy—the love of her life—refuses. Left with no other option, she turns to Carlos, an ex-boyfriend whose arrogance and selfishness make him the worst possible candidate. As the wedding plans unfold, Sofía grows closer to Sebastián, a man she met at her father’s funeral who is helping her investigate the suspicious will. But their bond is forbidden: his mother harbors a dark connection to Sofía’s past, one that makes their love impossible. When Roy reappears, begging for another chance, Sofía must decide between duty, desperation, and the dangerous pull of her heart. With sixty days until the deadline, every choice could cost her the company, her family’s honor, and the only man she truly loves.
View MoreI watched him closely; there was pure malice in his eyes. This was just a game for him. I said nothing. I clenched my jaw and we didn't break eye contact. He shifted a little; he was getting impatient. "You know, for a mobster, you have neither patience nor talent," I blurted out, which made him open his mouth."Hey... You... How..." he began to form a sentence. "What the hell? Who do you think you are, little girl? You know you could end up in serious trouble here, right?"He said, and from one of the pockets inside his jacket, he pulled out a revolver and pointed it directly at my face, between my eyes. At that moment, my heart began to pound. I hadn't seen any gun, so it caught me completely off guard and made me swallow hard."Well, you're not saying much now that you have a gun pointed at your face, are you? You know, I was starting to like you, too bad my instructions are very clear... Well, then... What are you going to decide?"I stared at him, through the bullet he was point
Leaving the office, the afternoon felt different. I don't know if it was because of the message I'd received, but a constant feeling that something was wrong washed over me. My body was on high alert as I walked home, and every movement of the people around me made me jump. I finally relaxed when I reached the bottom of the apartment building, but just then I felt something pull me. I dropped what I was holding and spun around, managing to punch the person behind me in the face as they tried to grab me, but there was another tall, intimidating man beside me who held me tightly.I felt a needle quickly pierce my neck and shuddered. Although I tried to fight the sensation, my body gently shut down, and I lost consciousness. I had brief moments of waking up for a couple of seconds and knew I was in the back of a van, but whatever they injected me with was stronger than I expected.I finally regained consciousness when someone was holding my face. It took me a couple of seconds to realize
I walked away from the place, my fists clenched tightly, filled with an indescribable rage. When I was just a block from my office, I shuddered and stopped dead in my tracks. I felt like someone was following me or watching me. I turned discreetly, but I couldn't see anyone nearby. I hurried to the office and went up to my desk. I noticed we were running low on some printing supplies we needed, so I went to one of my suppliers' websites to place an order, but all I got was a message in red saying the order couldn't be processed."What the hell?" I blurted out.I tried accessing another provider's website, and after placing the same order, I received another denied notification. Quickly, I grabbed the phone and called the bank.I had barely finished the call, my heart pounding, when Kathe walked in, looking confused."Did something happen?" she asked."My accounts are frozen..." I whispered."What?!" Kathe practically shouted, bursting into the office."The bank just told me I can't ma
Carlos stood stiffly in the doorway of the store, his gaze shifting between Sebastian and me. His posture was tense, his expression a whirlwind of agitation and suspicion, as if he'd been circling, waiting for us to appear. The man who was supposed to be my husband in a few weeks looked anything but serene. His eyes flicked across Sebastian, narrowing slightly, before returning to me with a smile so forced it seemed etched on his face."Sebastian, this is Carlos, my fiancé," I said, breaking the silence. "Carlos, this is Sebastian, my business partner and close friend."Carlos's frown deepened. "Partner...? You own what?" His tone was defiant, not curious.Sebastian remained unfazed. He extended his hand with serene authority. "Sebastian Blake. CEO of Blake Enterprises. I believe you've heard of my businesses."The change in Carlos was immediate. His jaw relaxed and his eyes widened as he suddenly recognized him. He squeezed Sebastian's hand too tightly; his laugh was too quick, too r
