ALEXA’S POVThe television blared loudly in the living room.“Breaking News: Gresham’s Building and Montreal Enterprises have officially merged into one corporate empire under the leadership of Mrs. Katey Stones and her daughter, Sydney Stones…”I switched off the television angrily.“This is bullshit,” I muttered, running my fingers through my hair in frustration.How did everything spiral out of control so quickly?My phone suddenly rang.Patrick.I picked up immediately.“Hello?”“Mrs. Anderson…” Patrick whispered from the other end.His voice sounded tense.Nervous.I immediately sat upright.“Patrick? What’s going on?”“Mrs. Stones has severed ties with all our contractors… including Mr. Palmer from Lorenzo Enterprises.”My heart skipped.Mr. Palmer was one of Gresham’s Building’s biggest international partners.Patrick continued in a lower tone.“The company revenues are dropping drastically.

ENTANGLED MARRIAGE CHAPTER FORTY TWO: THE COURTROOM
The courtroom fell into silence as the judge walked in.“All rise.”Everyone stood immediately.The judge took his seat, his expression calm and unreadable.“Be seated.”We all sat.Across the room, Mrs. Stone sat confidently, a faint smirk playing on her lips.My chest tightened.“The court will now hear the case of property ownership between the Leonard family and Mrs. Stone,” the judge said, glancing through the files before him.Her lawyer stood up.“Your Honor, my client, Mrs. Stone, is the rightful owner of the properties in question.”He stepped forward and handed over a set of documents.“These documents clearly prove her claim.”The judge examined them carefully.My lawyer rose immediately.“Your Honor, I strongly object.

ENTANGLED MARRIAGE CHAPTER 41: SHE’S IN CONTROL NOW
After a week, I was finally discharged from the hospital. The first thing on my mind was how to get the documents back.Jason stayed home with me the entire time, not bothering to go to work.“I’m sorry for all the trouble,” I said softly. “I didn’t know everything would spiral this fast.”“It’s alright, Alexa,” he replied gently. “I’m here for you. We’ll get through this—together.”He held my hands and pressed a soft kiss to my forehead.Just then, my phone rang.An unknown number.I glanced at Jason nervously. He gave me a reassuring nod, rubbing my shoulders gently.I answered the call.“Hello?”“Hey, Alexa Leonard… or should I say, Alexa Anderson?”My grip tightened around the phone.“Who’s this?” I asked, my voice tense.A soft, mocking chuckle echoed from the other end.“Oh, don’t tell me you’ve already forgotten my voice.”My heart skipped.“Mrs. Stone?”“That’s right, darling,” she replied, amused.Jason’s hand tightened
ENTANGLED MARRIAGE CHAPTER FORTY: THE WAR BETWEEN FAMILIES
PRESENT — HOSPITAL ROOMThe hospital room remained silent after my mother finished speaking.No one moved.No one even dared to breathe too loudly.The weight of her story hung heavily in the air like a storm cloud.I stared at Mom in confusion, trying to process everything she had said so far.None of it made sense yet.Why were the families connected?Why was Mrs. Stones so desperate for the documents?And what exactly happened years ago?Yet the pain in my mother’s eyes told me every word was true.She looked exhausted… like someone forced to relive a nightmare she had spent years trying to bury.Slowly, she lowered her gaze.“After that night at the club,” Mom continued quietly, “everything changed.”YEARS AGOA week after the murder incident, we discovered the man Katey killed was part of a powerful mafia organization.Fear consumed me immediately.That night haunted me endlessly.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw blood.I saw his body collapsing onto the restroom floor.I heard
ENTANGLED MARRIAGE CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE: THE BEGINNING OF OUR DOWNFALL
JESSICA’S POVLooking back now, I wished I had kept my mouth shut that morning.If I had known what that single conversation would lead to… maybe everything would have turned out differently.Maybe our lives would not have been ruined.I walked into school that day with excitement bubbling inside me. For the first time in weeks, I actually felt happy.Ryan Leonard.Just thinking about him made my cheeks warm.I hurried toward our usual table where Suzan and Katey were already seated.The moment I dropped my bag dramatically onto the chair, Suzan narrowed her eyes suspiciously.“That smile on your face is dangerous,” she said.I grinned.“Girls… I have something to tell you.”Suzan leaned forward immediately. “Spill.”I tucked my hair behind my ear and tried to hide my excitement.“So… I might be getting engaged.”Suzan nearly screamed.“At seventeen?”“Not now,” I laughed quickly. “Our parents just want us to start courting first before marriage.”“What kind of billionaire arrangement

JESSICA’S POV“Jessica, your dad has plans for you, okay?” my mother said, gently cupping my face.I frowned. “What plans exactly, Mom?”She only smiled. “Just behave yourself tonight. We have visitors.”“Who are they?”She paused for a second before answering.“Your in-laws.”I let out a short laugh. “What do you mean? I’m seventeen.”“You’ll understand later,” she replied calmly. “Just don’t create a scene tonight.”And with that, she walked out.That morning had already been strange.My mom—who barely had time for me—suddenly took me shopping. She picked out dresses herself, carefully, like she actually cared. For a moment, I thought something had changed. I thought maybe… she finally noticed me.But now I understood.It wasn’t about me.It never was.I had everything money could buy—cards that never ran out, luxury, comfort—but no real family warmth. No siblings. No closeness. Just distance, hidden behind wealth.Still, I didn’t question it then.I just enjoyed the moment.Later t
