CHAPTER 19: A DECLARED ENEMY

In the garden of the Ashford mansion.

"My dear Coraline!" exclaimed Inesa with enthusiasm.

Sebastián's mother stood up and hugged her.

"Dear, you finally decide to visit me."

"I've had a lot of work. But here I am, as I promised," said Inesa, smiling.

Immediately, Sebastián's mother signaled to one of the maids to bring tea. As they settled down, Inesa delicately mentioned,

"I heard about Nicholas, it's practically a tragedy."

Coraline sighed deeply before responding,

"Yes, we are all devastated. Nicholas is the light of this house."

"I know," said Inesa, with feigned concern, "and I will do everything I can to support Sebastián."

There was a brief silence before Coraline asked,

"Did my son already tell you what the solution is?"

"Solution?" Inesa frowned, confused.

"Yes, the doctor spoke to them yesterday..."

"Wait, them? Who?"

"His assistant was with him, she walked in with Sebastián, she seemed like a worried mother," explained Coraline, revealing disap

    CHAPTER 114: UNEXPECTED NEWS.Nicholas was playing in the living room when, with a curious expression, he asked, "Mommy, when will Daddy be back?"Isabella, trying to hide the dissatisfaction she felt inside, forced a smile and replied, "Today, honey. Daddy went to take care of some business."Although she smiled, her heart was full of discontent. She had agreed with Louis and didn't want Sebastian to travel, but he had ignored her and left anyway.Coraline, concerned, took the opportunity to ask, "Have you heard anything about Inesa?"The question immediately made Isabella tense up. "No, not yet. The police say she disappeared from the city, so... we still have to live with that lunatic out there."At that precise moment, one of the maids approached respectfully, "Ma'am, someone wants to see you."Isabella frowned, doubtful. "Who?"The maid hesitated before answering, "It's... it's Mr. Davenport.""Elijah? Is he here?""Well, outside. The bodyguards won't let him in."Isabella stood

    CHAPTER 113: I WILL PROTECT THEM.Sebastian answered on the second ring."Love...""Sebastian, you need to come to the hospital. It's urgent. Nicholas... someone tried to hurt him," said Isabella, her voice trembling with a mix of fear and rage."What?! What are you talking about?" asked Sebastian, clearly alarmed."It was Inesa. I'm sure it was her," Isabella responded, almost in a whisper.Sebastian looked at Rodrik, and his eyes turned furious."I'm coming, honey. Don't leave without me," Sebastian ordered before hanging up.Once he did, he put away his phone and approached Rodrik menacingly; the officers were still in the boardroom."Your daughter went too far this time, Rodrik," Sebastian pointed at him. "And if she dares to come near my family again, I'll kill her myself.""Mr. Ashford, I advise you to..." one of the officers began."I don't need your advice," he interrupted. "You should go and find that crazy psychopath.""We will, Mr. Ashford, you and your family...""Don't bo

    CHAPTER 112: A DANGEROUS WOMAN.The boardroom was plunged into a deathly silence. Everyone present watched the officer with incredulity."Murder?""Yes, Mr. Philips, we found evidence linking your daughter to the deceased," said the officer firmly.Rodrik shook his head, disbelief painted on his face."No, there must be a mistake... my daughter wouldn't be capable of something like that.""Well, that will have to be proven in front of a judge. Now, please, we need you to tell us her whereabouts. She needs to be brought to the police station for her statement," insisted the officer.Tension took hold of Rodrik. Everything he was experiencing felt like a nightmare, the most horrible of all.He recalled his daughter's call."Dad, I'm going to be out of town for a few days. But you have to do something, Sebastian is lying. He most likely wants to get me out of the company."Rodrik began to think that Inesa's sudden trip had an explanation."Mr. Philips, are you listening?" The officer sna

    CHAPTER 111: SUSPECTED OF MURDER."Then, you didn't know anything?" asked Isabella, with a mix of incredulity and concern.Lucy, looking at her friend with an expression of shame and surprise, responded vehemently:"Of course not! Elijah never said anything, although I had heard something about Gemma and her crush on him. But this took me by surprise, just like you."Isabella sighed deeply and shook her head."Well, your cousin was very cruel to her, he said things... so harsh... I never thought Elijah could be like that," confessed Isabella."Neither did I," admitted Lucy, her tone soft but laden with sadness. "But... if it's any consolation, Gemma asked him for a divorce, so... Elijah won't hurt her again.""They're getting divorced?" Isabella seemed astonished by the news."Yes, before they returned to New York, I went to the hospital, she told me herself, and she sounded very determined.""Well, I think that's good; no woman should accept being humiliated like that," affirmed Isab

    "CHAPTER 110: HUMILIATION"Inesa's heart was pounding furiously in her chest, and she had a bad feeling. On the other hand, Isabella was determined to end everything that very night. She wasn't going to let Inesa continue harming their lives."Do you want to know the truth? Well, I will show you the truth," she said, turning around and entering the house.Meanwhile, Inesa tried to fight her last battle. She looked at Coraline with pitiful eyes and sobbed."Coraline, how can you… how can you allow this? I thought… that you would support me. For years you said I should marry Sebastian and now you allow this?!"Coraline shook her head slightly and handed the baby to the nanny."Yes, I admit it. At first, I considered you the ideal wife for my son, but I was also clear and asked you to abandon the idea of being Sebastian's wife when Isabella came into his life. Even so, you didn't listen, Inesa, so… there's nothing I can do for you."Inesa clenched her hands, her nails digging into her fl

    "CHAPTER 109: CONFRONTATION"All the guests started murmuring. Coraline was in disbelief, Roger was speechless, Nicholas was in denial, unable to accept that he would have a sibling with the woman he despised so much. But Sebastian, Sebastian was about to explode with rage. The blood in his veins felt like liquid fire burning every cell in his body; his only desire was to wrap his hands around Inesa's neck and squeeze until she stopped breathing.However, and to everyone's surprise, Isabella was completely calm, very strange, considering she was the most wronged. Inesa had just thrown in her face that she was going to have a child, right when they had just reconciled. So she stepped away from Sebastian and walked directly toward her. When she stopped, Inesa gave her a victorious smile, full of excessive arrogance."Aren't you surprised? It seems Sebastian didn't waste any time during your separation, Isabella. He found solace with me and well…" once again, Inesa placed a hand on her b
