A ring.He had put a ring on her finger. On Lawson's sister's finger.It felt like a final, brutal severing of any remaining connection to her brother, a definitive choice of sides.Camila just stared at him, totally speechless. The fight drained out of her, replaced by a cold, hollow ache.Then, like a robot, she turned and walked over to the couch, plopped down, and just stared into space.Cole watched her, a flicker of something unreadable—perhaps regret, perhaps defiance—crossing his face before he walked over and sat down beside her.There was a beat of silence, the room suddenly feels small. "I'm sorry, Camila. I didn't mean to drop this on you... I wanted to tell you; I didn't know how..." he sighed. "You weren't even there for me to tell."Camila didn't speak, her eyes fixed on some point, still lost but hearing every single word.Another long silence stretched between them. Cole shifted uncomfortably beside her, his gaze fixed on his hands. He seemed to be waiting for a rea

THE NEXT MORNINGThere was a knock at the door. Soft, a little hesitant. Camila didn't flinch. She remained a still point in the rumpled bedsheets, her gaze fixed on some unseen spot on the wall.Jaw clenched, eyes narrowed, as if the wall was the enemy ready to attack.Then another knock came, a little louder this time."Camila." Cole's voice cut in, low and hoarse. "You there?"Camila glanced briefly at the door before responding flatly."Yes.""Can I come in?" Camila's expression didn't change. "Yes."The door opened slowly, and first, Cole peeked through, his gaze landing on Camila.He didn't speak immediately, just stood there for a long moment, his expression unreadable. Finally, he stepped fully into the room, closing the door softly behind him as if not wanting to break the fragile silence. He moved with a quiet awkwardness, like an intruder in a sacred space."Can I?" he asked, pointing to the edge of the bed. All the while, he didn't dare look Camila in the eyes.Again,

"Keep an eye on that bitch," Antonio muttered into his phone, his voice tight. "Everything she does. Who she talks to, where she goes, the whole shebang. I want to know what she's up to, got it?""Understood, sir," Bruno replied, his voice a little hesitant. "Do you... also want full surveillance on Camila Lopez?"Antonio paused, his eyes darkening. Memories, sharp and unwelcome, flooded back – the defiance in Camila's eyes, the unexpected touch in the car.He gritted his teeth, a muscle twitching in his jaw. The audacity of that woman... she'd dared to provoke him.He let out a short, sharp breath, dragging a hand through his hair."No. Forget about her... for now."A new resolve hardened his gaze as he stared out at the approaching gates of his villa."Focus on Emily. I want the same level of detail, Bruno. See to it personally.""Yes, sir," Bruno confirmed quickly, "Emily it is. Full surveillance, every detail, got it.""Good," Antonio said, a cold satisfaction settling within him.

"It's done," Cole mumbled, hanging by the door. "I just came from my lawyer's office. All the assets... the money... it's being transferred to your account."Camila didn't immediately look up. Her eyes were glued to the mess of fashion design photos spread all over her bed. Sketches, fabric samples, magazine clippings – a whole creative explosion in the middle of the rumpled sheets.Camila finally shifted her gaze fully to him, a flicker of something unreadable in her eyes.Cole hesitated, wanting to say more, to understand the shift in her demeanor."Is there anything else... you need?" he asked, but Camila shook her head, dismissing him."No. You can go now."But Cole still lingered by the door. "Are you sure? You know I can help with those..." He gestured vaguely toward the scattered photos on the bed. "It looks like you want to start something up. I could help with that."Camila finally looked up, really looked at him this time. Her gaze was direct, and held a hint of something

THE NEXT MORNING Camila was just munching on some toast at the dining table, totally lost in her phone. Weirdly, despite knowing Madison was somewhere in the house, God knows when she would leave. Camila felt… lighter. Maybe it was the clear plan she’d made yesterday, the anticipation. Whatever it was, a surprising little spark of energy was buzzing beneath her skin. She almost didn't mind the chirpy interruption. "Morning!" Madison chirped as she walked in. "Hmm," Camila mumbled, not even looking up. Madison lingered on her for a while, but Camila didn't care. "So..." Madison began as she took a seat opposite her. "Cole still hasn't said much about you. The mystery sister, huh?" "What's there to say..." Camila finally replied, still scrolling through potential fabric suppliers on her phone. "He has a sister. Surprise." She punctuated the last word with a dry, humorless chuckle, her eyes never leaving the screen. Madison pressed her lips together, her gaze suddenly fixed inten

"That's right," Antonio purred, the sound Camila found both irritating and... strangely compelling.She stifled a groan. This was ridiculous."You can decline, of course; I'm not exactly forcing you into anything. But consider the alternative: a messy lawsuit... no one wants that."He let those words sink in, the threat hanging.Camila's jaw tightened. He knew exactly where to hit her, didn't he?Her dreams, her hard-won independence, all dangled precariously on his whim. The unfairness of it all made her want to scream."Isn't there another way out?" she said, her voice calm but strained, trying to maintain a facade of composure."No, darling, it's a yes or a no. And I need to get my answer right now."Camila's mind raced, weighing the options, each one more unpalatable than the last."Give me a reason," she finally said, her voice low and dangerous. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't just tell you to go to hell and deal with the consequences.""You'll be damned sure to regret

Today's agenda - A date with De La Cruz and a late-night dinner with the Miller family.What a day it is.Camila smiled, staring at her reflection.It feels good to be back. When she meant 'back,' she meant - blonde hair perfectly styled; she had her brown hair dyed back to the way it should be.Blue eyes - no more brown contact lenses.Earrings in both piercings.Flawless makeup, and a luxurious or maybe slightly intimidating fur coat draped over her shoulders. A short cocktail gown to complement her long legs.She bet it'll give Lawson a bit of déjà vu tonight. Or maybe a heart attack.She looked… intimidating, powerful. Like she could conquer the world.Good.Exactly the vibe she was going for.And as for the name - well, she'll wipe off Hazel for now. Or probably erase it entirely.With a final touch of her signature red lipstick, Camila turned away from the mirror, her movement slow, deliberate, like she had all the time in the world...She wasn't going to linger; she wasn't goin

"So are we going to just sit here and keep staring at each other like shy teenagers, or are we going to order something to eat?" Camila said, her nails drumming on the table. She would rather be somewhere else. But, well, because of his threats, she had no choice… does she? But Antonio just kept looking at her, no usual smirk this time. His eyes hadn't left her since she walked in. Her hair... Her blue eyes... Every inch of her was being observed, and it was making her skin crawl. And the look in his eyes, the way it narrowed and laid silent altogether, was like he was piecing together a puzzle. Finally, he stirred, leaning back. "I like the new look." Camila chuckled. It's all about her changed appearance, isn't it? Antonio gestured to the waiter, who appeared as if summoned by magic. He ordered for himself and also for Camila, who had just shrugged, preferring to be served any meal knowing she wouldn't even touch it. She had only thirty minutes to spend in this charade.

Silence hung for a breathless moment. Lawson's mind struggled to catch up with the sudden shift in power. One second he was the pursuer, the next he was pinned, interrogated by the very person he was trying to find.His eyes locked with Camila's. Gone was the carefree laughter he had witnessed earlier. If eyes could kill, he would have dropped dead by now."So what now? You're stalking me?" she spat, slipping her hand off the wall."Cami—""Not only did you choose the long, drawn-out way of divorce, but you're also stalking me. Or perhaps you're trying to provoke me into filing a lawsuit for—""You've got a lot of cash to spend on lawsuits, don't you?" Lawson cut her off suddenly, pushing himself off the wall.Camila didn't flinch, her feet tapping on the ground. Lawson noticed the sound, looked down, and then back up. He chuckled; he bet she wanted to strangle him right then."You haven't changed a bit. You're still the same short-tempered, emotional woman behind this," he pointed to

She was laughing... like really laughing.The other guy was saying something in her ear, and the way she flinched as his breath touched her skin, the way she leaned so close to him that there was a space between them, was all a punch to his gut.It wasn't just that she was with someone else; it was the easy intimacy, the unrestrained joy on her face, the comfortable closeness that felt so... exclusive.She acts like a saint, yet despite them still being married, she's having an affair? Then she is no better than he is.He tore his gaze away, a muscle twitching in his jaw. He focused on the woman still holding his arm, her smile now seeming almost mocking."Looks like she's having a good time," the woman commented. "Perhaps your grand entrance wasn't as impactful as you'd hoped?"Lawson frowned, but she didn't let him speak."Oh right, how do I know?" She chuckled, glancing at Camila again. "She's on my watch list, so I know everything about her.""You're stalking her?" Lawson's brow f

Antonio felt his thigh flinch; it was subtle but enough for him to register her threat.Instantly, he pulled back, the smirk disappearing from his face, replaced by a serious, almost dismissive expression."Speaking of personal space," he said coolly, "you're way too close. Shift, please." He then nodded curtly toward the staircase. "And go get dressed."He turned his gaze away from her, his attention fixed on something across the room, effectively ending the close confrontation.He could practically see the smug look on Camila's face as she climbed up the stairs with an air of confidence that came out of nowhere.She had officially become the only woman who could balance the power imbalance; even Emily, this deranged sometimes, wouldn't dare cross him using methods like that.Deflecting intimidation.A few minutes later, Camila descended the stairs, her hair curled and cascading down her back, a short cocktail gown clinging to her curves in all the right places, heels high enough to

It has been exactly four weeks since Camila paid a visit to the Millers, and exactly four weeks since she'd given Diane and her mother a warning.But of course, it's clear they didn't take her words seriously.They never did. They never ever thought she would be capable of standing up for herself because she had been too weak all these years enduring all the abuse from her Aunt Julie.Julie had been Cole and Camila's guardian since the devastating car accident that claimed their parents' lives when they were eight.Their parents, pillars within the family, had placed their trust in Julie, entrusting her and her brother with the care of their children and their wealth, to be managed until the twins reached eighteen.Camila couldn't understand how her parents' death, so sudden and awful, could have felt like something they knew was coming.That thought had haunted her for years until she finally let it go.Upon their eighteenth birthday, Julie's manipulations began. She insisted they we

Camila's phone buzzed – Mr. Hernández's name flashed on the screen. Camila answered, a familiar knot tightening in her stomach. "Ms. Lopez," the lawyer said, his voice carrying bad news, "Lawson. He refused to sign the divorce papers." Camila's breath caught, but she kept her voice steady. "So, what do we do now?" "It complicates things," he explained simply. "Without his signature, we'll have to file a petition with the court to start the divorce ourselves. He'll have a deadline to respond, and depending on that and the court's schedule, it could take several months." "A trial?" The word felt heavy. She'd hoped it wouldn't come to this, that Lawson would cooperate. Now, it seemed like a long road ahead. "A trial is possible later," he confirmed. "But first, we file that petition. Please gather any financial records, the separation agreement, and any communication with him we haven't discussed. We need to prepare our case." "Alright. I'll get those documents to you soon.

Lawson stared at the "DIVORCE AGREEMENT" in front of him. Cold papers. He scanned every font, but he wasn't reading a single word. Alive. Camila was alive. That's all that screamed in his head.And divorce? That was the first thing she thought of? After all this time?He knew he'd messed up before. Badly. Hurt her.But this... this felt like a punch after barely catching his breath.She was back. He'd imagined this moment a thousand times – tears, hugs, relief flooding him. Not this stark white paper. Not a lawyer's polite cough. Judgmental stares and annoying impatience.A lifetime of grief had lifted, replaced by a fragile, unbelievable joy. He didn't even get the chance to apologize, hold her, or even have a normal conversation.And now this. No time to even register she was safe. Just this demand. This ending. He shook his head slightly, a bitter laugh escaping him. It was almost cruel.The lawyer cleared his throat, bringing him back to reality."Mr. Miller, once you've reviewed

Antonio went wide.What? Was he surprised? Why?It's what he wanted, wasn't it?Camila kissed him harder, her fingers tangled in his hair.Antonio held her tight. His fingers dug into her waist. The kiss felt strong, too rough for a charade. His lips moved with hers. They breathed hard.This wasn't just acting. Camila felt something new. A hot feeling. A little scary, but it would go away the moment she pulled away. She was sure of that.His hand moved on her back. His scent filled her nose. The music went soft. Too soft for what it should have been. It felt just like them.Camila pulled back; her lips felt full. Her face was hot, her toes curling restlessly. Her heart pounded in her chest.Antonio's eyes were dark, his fingers still framing her chin.A quiet moment. They breathed fast, eyes locked.And then it snapped.Camila slid her fingers from his hair, shifted back a little, and flashed him a brief smile."Well," she said, her voice soft. "That was… something.""Something… good?

"Dress as sexy as yesterday. We are going to a party. I'll text you the address and time," Camila said, a sarcastic laugh in her voice."You do know I'm not a puppet you string, Antonio. If I'm going to be your girlfriend, you're going to give me an explanation. At least tell me where I'm going, whose party it is. So we won't have any problems."Antonio smirked, impressed. "What a threat." He intercepted a passing tray, snagging a glass of red wine and offering it to her. "Drink this and calm down. I like you better when you're not angry."Camila's eyes stayed on him for a moment. Without a word, she snatched the glass from his hand. "Yeah," she said, her voice cool, "it's definitely better for you when I'm calm."She gulped the drink all in one go.Antonio smiled at the sight and took the empty glass from her while offering his hand.Eyes narrowed. Jaw set. Charming like a gentleman."Wanna dance?" he asked.Camila laughed. To be honest, she was flattered. She had come here thinking

Antonio watched himself in the mirror, carefully fastening the buttons on his jacket. Simple and smooth, just as he liked the party to go. It’s Abuelo's birthday party orchestrated by the good daughter-in-law, Emily.So sweet, wasn't it? But he knew better. He knew the gears turning in her head while she planned this messed-up celebration. She always wanted to crawl back to him; well, today she'll know there's nothing to crawl back to anymore.He gave his reflection a little nod, liking what he saw. But then a familiar face appeared behind him in the mirror—Emily.Dark eyeliner, glossy lipstick, and a dress too daring for an old man's birthday. Cleavage on full display on her off-shoulder. She was a vision of calculated allure.Her arms circled his waist from behind. "Good afternoon or evening. Didn’t keep track of time," she whispered, her cheek soft against his back.Without a word, Antonio peeled her hands off; it was a struggle at first, but there’s an advantage to being a man.Sh
