Chapter 135: Prison

**Christiana’s POV**

The walls of the prison were always gray and ugly.

Not just the paint, though that was chipped and stained from years of neglect, curling at the corners like the building itself was tired of standing but the air itself felt gray. Heavy and oppressive.

The metallic clatter of keys, the echo of boots on concrete floors, the harsh slam of one heavy door after another, it all pressed down like invisible shackles. The corridors reeked faintly of bleach, but it wasn’t enough to mask the sweat, the iron, the stale bitterness that seemed to cling to every surface.

Walking through those halls was never just about the place. It was about the memories it dragged up, the shame of being “the murder’s daughter.”

I hadn’t set foot here since Tony dragged me back six months ago, insisting I tell my father face-to-face about Bella’s engagement to Bryan Adams. I had hated him for it, hated the way he forced me to relive that but maybe Tony had known me too

  • Craving The Enemy's Husband   Chapter 224: Two Decades Revenge

    Chapter 224: Two Decades Revenge**Bella’s POV**“You know exactly what I mean.”The words slid from my lips like venom, and I relished the way Christiana’s face drained of color. Her grip tightened on that nineteen years old, glowing with youth, the image of her mother’s stubbornness and Bryan’s infuriating charm.For a brief second, the hall was silent except for the buzz of my own pulse in my ears. The guests, frozen like statues, stared as though I’d just risen from the grave. Perhaps I had. Twenty years of iron bars and stinking cells, twenty years of rotting food and whispers about the “murderess Bella Calamida”… all of it forged me into this moment.The security men finally snapped out of their daze, moving toward me like I was some common intruder. Pathetic.I raised my hands gracefully, my smile sharp. “No need to touch me,” I said sweetly, though the poison laced every syllable. “I’ll leave. I know when I’m not welcome. But…” I let my eyes dart back to Christiana, savoring h

    Chapter 223: The Return Of Bella Calamida**Christiana’s POV*********Twenty years later.*******I was no longer the twenty-something who had once stood on a cliff’s edge, debating whether to let despair swallow me whole. I was no longer the woman whose life revolved around revenge and fear.I was fifty years shy of half a century now… forty-nine today, to be exact. A survivor. A wife. A mother. And despite everything, I was still standing.The Adams mansion glittered that evening, filled with laughter and golden light. Bryan had gone all out for my birthday.He invited friends, colleagues, and even distant relatives crowded the hall. My daughter, Tatiana… our pride, our miracle clung to my hand as the guests sang “Happy Birthday,” her voice louder than anyone’s, her smile radiant.Nineteen years old, Tatiana was the perfect blend of me and Bryan. My eyes, Bryan’s smile. My stubbornness, his wit. She carried herself with a confidence I could only wish I had possessed at her age. Watch

    Chapter 222: The Wedding**Christiana’s POV**Pascal had always been the kind of man who carried charm like a second skin, smooth in his words, confident in his touch. But for once, when he came to me that evening before his departure, his aura was stripped of arrogance. He looked… tired.“I saw you both,” he confessed, standing just a few feet away, his eyes heavy but steady on mine.I frowned. “Saw us?”His jaw tightened. “That night. The red room. BDSM”Heat rushed to my face, a wave of memory crashing over me. My lips parted, but no words came. He let out a small, humorless laugh, running a hand through his hair.“I thought I had a chance. Foolish, wasn’t it? To think I could just swoop back into your life after so many years, after disappearing, and win you over.” His voice cracked, softer now. “But when I saw you with him… I knew. You were never mine to claim.”I shifted uncomfortably. “Pascal…”He raised a hand. “Don’t pity me. Please. I don’t want your pity. I just… I needed t

    Chapter 221: Twenty Years Sentence**Third Person POV**The courthouse was crowded that morning. Reporters filled the steps outside, cameras flashing like lightning strikes as they fought to capture the face of the woman who had once fooled them all.Inside, the air was thick with whispers bouncing across the gallery, lawyers shuffling papers, police officers stationed at every corner. And in the middle of it all sat Bella Adams, her hands cuffed, her chin lifted high in defiance.She wore a plain suit that the state had given her, but she carried herself as if she still wore designer silk. Her eyes flickered across the room, lingering on Bryan and Christiana where they sat side by side in the front row. Bryan’s arm was around Christiana’s shoulders, his thumb rubbing slow circles as though grounding her.Christiana’s wounds were bandaged now, but the memory of Bella’s knife still haunted her skin.The judge entered, robes sweeping, and the bailiff called for silence.“Case number 14-

    Chapter 220: It is over**Christiana’s POV**The moment the sirens blared outside, my knees nearly gave out beneath me. Relief and terror collided in my chest, choking me as I clutched my bleeding arm.I had been clever and desperate enough, to do the only thing I could when Bella first revealed herself. While pretending to steady my trembling fingers on my phone, I had managed to dial 911.Whispering bits of words into the silence whenever Bella’s attention strayed. A “help.” A “Salazar mansion.” My voice low enough not to draw her suspicion, high enough for the dispatcher to piece together what was happening.I hadn’t known if they would find me in time. But now, hearing the heavy boots, the urgent shouts of officers outside, it felt like my lifeline had finally arrived.Bella’s eyes flicked wildly between me and the door, her face pale but twisted with fury. She looked like a cornered predator. Her blouse was soaked in blood where I had cut her. My own arm burned, blood dripping do
