Camila was in her happy place: the top floor of her new building, which was basically her giant studio. The scent of fresh paint and new beginnings filled the air, mingling with the excited chatter of early arrivals downstairs.

She smoothed down her dress and touched her makeup, swirling at the mirror before stepping out of her private office. This was it. Months of planning, sketching, and stressing, all leading to this big moment.

As she made her way downstairs, the hum of conversations grew louder. She recognized familiar faces—her core team, a few loyal clients, some local business folks. And then there was Cole, who wasn't invited, but she knew he'd come anyway. And there was Madison, clinging to him like a limpet as they mingled with some of the guests.

Her gaze swept through the crowd, a smile on her face, but there was just this rapidly growing panic setting in.

This was real. This was happening. Her heart was pounding. And yes, a wave of nervous excitement was buzzing, making

    Camila picked up the pace then, the red dress a flash, a tiny dot she couldn't lose sight of. She was hot on its heels, heading for a quieter part of the studio – those back corridors nobody really goes down. When she whipped around the corner, there she was, back to Camila, just standing there by the window. Even with that huge hat hiding her face, Camila knew exactly who it was. The flair, the elegant still, almost dangerous way she carried herself? Yeah, no mistaking it."What do you want, Julie?" Camila crossed her arms, standing a few steps away, keeping as much distance as possible. You never can predict Julie when she's like this. Quiet, cold, detached. Julie didn't turn, fingers tracing patterns on the window pane. "Come on, stand with me. I won't bite," she said calmly, a way too soft to be cautious of.Camila didn't move an inch. "What do you want, Julie? We both know this isn't chit chat; get straight to your insults."Julie finally turned, leaning on the window, shook h

    Antonio broke the kiss, his eyes searching hers. He started to turn, sensing someone else, but Camila immediately gripped his chin."Don't look at him. He’s just… background noise," she whispered and pulled him back, her lips crashing onto his again, a fierce, almost desperate kiss that demanded his full attention.She wasn't letting Lawson, or anyone, interrupt this... especially not a ghost from her past. She poured every ounce of defiance and craving into the kiss. Maybe this would finally get Lawson to go away. To give up on her. To make him know there was absolutely no place for him anymore.Antonio groaned, but he complied, deepening the kiss once more. He didn't fight her.When they finally broke apart, both breathless and flushed, she glanced at the spot where Lawson had been, but he was gone.A small, triumphant smile played on Camila’s lips.Good.Antonio just shook his head. "You're something else, Cami."Camila shrugged. "Actions speak louder than words, right?"Antonio la

    Antonio and Abuelo stood by the archway, a little way off, watching the spectacle unfold in the grand living room.Ernesto was in his element, holding court. He had one woman draped over each arm, laughing loudly, his head thrown back, as he twirled them around. They giggled, fawning over him, their dresses swirling as he dipped one, then spun the other, a grin plastered across his face.He looked like he hadn't a care in the world, like he was the king of the castle, and these two were his loyal subjects.Abuelo grunted, watching Ernesto twirl one of the women. "So, this is what's been occupying his mind in prison, eh?" He then nudged Antonio, a dry look in his eye. "And you, you were about to give him a free room in your hotel? Free of charge? That's not good for business, son. Not good at all."Antonio's gaze was still fixed on his father, but his mind was miles away, churning.Why was Ernesto so damn carefree? No mention of the business, no grand plan for his 'return' after what?

    Antonio tried to hide the smile on his face. Camila just made this a lot easier, breaking the suffocating tension. This was what he liked her: she was perceptive and smart. Clearly, she wanted to get him out of this uncomfortable situation.Antonio stood up, giving Ernesto a sharp side glance. Ernesto's smile was gone; his eyes were narrowed as Antonio guided Camila out of the room.Once outside, they both got into the car, and the doors slammed shut, instantly trapping them in a heavy silence."So, want me to ask first before you tell me?" Camila finally broke the quiet.Antonio started fastening his seat belt as he muttered, "Thanks for understanding."Camila just shrugged. "No prob. You owe me an explanation, though.""I'm sorry he ruined our plans for tonight. I'll make it up to you, any way you want it," Antonio said, starting the engine and changing the subject, but his intentions didn't get past Camila."You're ignoring the question."Antonio gripped the steering wheel. "Look,

    "Antonio!" Camila called. He didn't answer, just stayed frozen, eyes glued to the bright message. Like it was a bomb waiting to explode.She grabbed a fork and a spoon and struck them together. "Antonio, hello, still in there?"Antonio finally looked up, his gaze a bit lost for a second, then snapped back. "Uh… excuse me for a sec," he mumbled and pushed his chair back with a loud scrape. He didn't even look back at Camila, who was watching him, growing more worried by the second.He just got up and marched out of the dining room towards the entrance, phone still in hand, the message burning in his mind.He read it again and again, each word like a punch: *Come outside and get your security to let me in.*That tone, that bossy way of speaking, could only belong to one person. A cold dread seeped in, twisting his stomach. He wished he was imagining things because having a huge bomb drop in his life was not something he was ready for. It was never something anyone could be ready for.Es
