~~Elena~~

He didn’t react. Not even a flicker of surprise.

“So, you and Valentina can go shopping tomorrow. Mariana, you can join them too,” Grandpa said with finality, as though the matter was sealed.

Back in my room, I collapsed onto the bed. Mariana sank beside me.

“What should I do, Mariana? I’m scared… and honestly, I feel like I’m suffocating,” I admitted.

Her voice was calm. “We can’t delay tomorrow’s plan.”

She was right, though fear knotted in my chest.

The next day, we visited the old house. The moment we opened the door, dust greeted us like an old friend. Cobwebs dangled in corners.

I wrinkled my nose. “This place could use an army, not just two girls with brooms.”

Mariana chuckled, and for a moment, the heaviness lifted. We got to work, scrubbing, sweeping, throwing out spoiled food from the fridge, and washing dishes. It took us an hour, but finally the house looked less like a ghost had been living there.

Then came the real task. We searched carefully, and at last

    ~~Alejandro~~“Sir, Mr. Ramos is the stepson of the woman in the hospital. He uses her life to control Elena,” my assistant said. I leaned back in my chair, flipping through the file with steady fingers. My face stayed hard. “I want to see Javier,” I said, my voice firm. Mateo nodded and left the office. The door closed, and silence filled the room. I rested my arm on the desk, tapping a finger on the wood. My eyes narrowed on the file. Because he is a stepson. Now everything makes sense. Every detail fits. My hand moved to my jaw. To make her mine, I must take his power away. To make her mine, I must free her grandmother first. I stood and walked to the tall glass window. The city lights spread under me—bright, alive.Her birthday is tomorrow. I let out a slow breath. What gift can I give her? Not flowers, not diamonds. Something more. Something that tells her she belongs to me. Suddenly, a knock on the door broke my thoughts. “Come in,” I said, still facing the window. “Mr.

    ~~Elena~~I shoved Carlos away so hard my own hands trembled.“Don’t… don’t ever do that again,” I said, my voice shaking more than I wanted it to. I didn’t even look back at him as I ran upstairs.My heart was hammering, my throat tight. Why did it feel like I’d been caught cheating? I’m not even his. Alejandro isn’t mine. And yet… my whole body burned with guilt as if he were.“Alejandro…” His name spilled from my lips the moment I came closer to him. It sounded like a prayer and a plea at once. “I didn’t mean to—”I stopped.Why am I explaining myself to him? Why does his opinion feel like life and death?“Come with me, Elena,” he said, his voice low. Not angry. Not loud. Just low, certain, and impossible to disobey.I followed him before I could even think about it.The moment we stepped into his room, the door shut behind us with a soft click. My heart leapt into my throat.He moved forward,I moved back , the air between us shrinking until my back pressed against the cold wall, a

    ~~Elena~~“You’re not allowed to go inside, Miss Elena,” the doctor said, blocking the doorway.“Please, I need to see my grandma,” I insisted.“She’s sleeping,” he added Frustrated, I quickly pulled out my phone and called my uncle.“Yes, Elena? What’s the problem now?” he said as if I was disturbing his peace.“Uncle, tell the doctor to let me in,” I pressed He hung up. A few minutes later, the doctor answered a call—probably from him.“You can go in,” he said at last, then excused himself.Suddenly, Mariana arrived.“What’s wrong?” she asked, noticing me still standing at the door.“Are you done with the test?” I asked instead of answering.“Yes. They told me to come back in a few minutes,” she replied softly.I studied her expression. Something seemed… off.We entered together, and indeed, Grandma was asleep. I dragged a chair and sat beside her, and held her hand. We both sat quietly without saying anything, the only sound in the room was only coming from the steady beeping of

    ~~Elena~~The jet touched down, smooth and steady, before rolling into the private hangar. One by one, we made our way down the steps. The air outside felt colder, heavier. Three sleek cars were already lined up, waiting for us.Alejandro didn’t hesitate. His assistant walked closely beside him as they headed straight for the first car. Without a word, without even looking back, they entered, and the door shut behind them. A moment later, the car pulled away.Carlos was next. He slipped into the second car, and soon it was gone too.Immediately, Mariana’s driver arrived. She turned to me and wrapped me in a brief hug.“Take care of yourself, Elena,” she whispered before pulling away.I nodded, holding back the tightness in my chest.Now, only Valentina and I remained. Our driver approached and opened the door. Without saying a word, we climbed inside.The ride back to the mansion was silent, both of us lost in our own thoughts, the weight of everything pressing down heavier than the n

    ~~Elena~~The sentence cut me open. My heart beat so fast I thought I might collapse right there.“You can leave,” he added. Just like that, everything between us crumbled.I turned and walked to the door, pausing for a moment as my hand rested on the knob.I wished he would call me back. But he didn’t.Leaving felt like surrender, But I couldn’t face him any longer...Back in my room, Mariana was still asleep,I envied her peace.I slipped quietly into the bathroom and filled the tub with cold water.I slid inside, shivering, letting the cold wrap around me like punishment.while my thoughts replayed everything that had happened tonight. Regret poured through me.I wanted to snatch Alejandro from Valentina, but the truth was I wasn’t strong enough to handle the criticism or the fight that came with him. I was a coward, and the realization crushed me.A few minutes later, I stepped out, dressed in my nightwear, and lay down on the bed. I tried to sleep, but my mind wouldn’t stop.His voic
