That morning, Rebecca walked into the main building of Castillo Group with a firm stride. Although her face still looked tired from spending the night at the hospital, the look in her eyes showed determination. She knew that from today, her life would change.The company lobby, which once felt unfamiliar, now became part of her new world. All the employees who saw her immediately stood and greeted her with respect.“Good morning, Ms. Rebecca,” said one of the reception staff.Rebecca nodded politely. “Morning. Thank you.”Upstairs, Kevin—a young man with glasses and a neat appearance—was already waiting in front of the CEO’s office. He immediately approached when he saw Rebecca stepping out of the elevator.“Good morning, Ms. Rebecca. Welcome to Castillo Group,” he said warmly, giving a slight bow.“Morning, Kevin. Thank you,” Rebecca replied.They walked side by side toward the CEO’s office, which had previously been occupied by Rebecca’s uncle. Now, the office had been cleared out,
Sindy walked down the hospital hallway, carrying a box of food and a change of clothes for Rebecca. That day, Rebecca hadn’t had a chance to eat, as she had been staying with Samuel in the ICU.Sindy stopped right in front of the ICU door. However, her eyes were drawn to another patient in the room across the hallway, separated only by a glass wall. The face of the unconscious man lying in the hospital bed looked familiar. Very familiar.Sindy stepped closer slowly. Her eyes widened. Her breath caught in her throat.“Anthony...?” she whispered, barely audible.She opened the door carefully and stepped inside, as if afraid that moving too quickly would wake him from his deep sleep.Sindy approached the bed, sat down beside him, and held his hand, trembling. “God… it’s you, isn’t it? I know it’s you… Anthony...”Suddenly, the door burst open.“Hey! Who are you?!” a woman’s voice echoed, sharp and full of suspicion.Sindy stood up at once. In front of her stood a young woman with a beaut
Three months had passed since that day. After a long legal and administrative process, everything was finally over. Today, Rebecca was officially declared the rightful owner of all the Castillo family’s assets. The grand house that had once been the source of her mother’s suffering now stood under her name.Rebecca stood tall at the main door, wearing an elegant black blazer. Behind her, several uniformed security officers stood ready.“Everything’s ready, Miss Rebecca,” said one of the legal staff accompanying her.Rebecca nodded. “Has the eviction order been signed?”“Yes. And they were given three days to leave. But so far, they’ve refused to go.”Rebecca stared sharply into the house. “Then I’ll handle it myself.”Her steps echoed firmly against the marble floor as she entered the house that now legally belonged to her. In the living room, a married couple sat with anxious faces. Alice and her husband looked nothing like the arrogant figures they once were.“Rebecca, please don’t
The hospital atmosphere still felt quiet despite the people coming and going. In the ICU waiting room, Rebecca sat alone, her face weary. Her hand kept gripping her phone, her eyes staring at the blank screen, as if waiting for good news that never arrived.Suddenly, the screen lit up. A message came in from the lawyer who had been handling the Castillo family inheritance case.[Miss Rebecca, I have good news. The inheritance matter is finally seeing some progress. Would you be able to come to the office tomorrow morning to discuss the documents that need to be signed?]Rebecca’s eyes widened. She reread the message several times, making sure she hadn’t misread it.“Samuel… you have to wake up… this fight is almost over…” she whispered softly, her eyes fixed on the ICU, where Samuel still lay in a coma.Not long after, Liam approached her with a serious expression. He had just returned from out of town, following Nora’s trail.“Rebecca,” Liam called as he sat beside her.Rebecca turne
The door to the ER slowly opened. A male doctor in a white coat and a serious expression stepped out. Rebecca and Liam immediately stood up, their eyes locked on the doctor.“Doctor… how is Samuel’s condition?” Liam asked quickly, trying to steady Rebecca, whose body had begun to tremble.The doctor took a long breath. “We’ve done everything we could. The stab wound was very deep and caused severe bleeding. He lost a lot of blood and currently… the patient is in a coma.”Rebecca covered her mouth, her body weak. “Coma…?”“Yes. For now, we’re transferring him to the ICU. We need to monitor his condition closely. His chance of survival is very slim… but we’ll keep trying.”“No… no… don’t say that…” Rebecca whispered hoarsely. Her legs gave out, and before her body hit the floor, Liam swiftly caught her.“Rebecca… breathe. I’ve got you. You have to be strong,” Liam said softly but firmly.Rebecca shook her head weakly,
Footsteps echoed as they rushed through the hallway of the old building. The sound of ambulance and police sirens grew closer. Liam was the first to enter the confinement room. His eyes widened the moment he saw Samuel’s blood-soaked body lying on the floor, and Rebecca, who was hysterically screaming while holding him tightly. Earlier, Rebecca had called Liam to send an ambulance. “Rebecca!” Liam ran toward her. Rebecca turned, her eyes swollen, her face drenched in tears. “Liam… there’s so much blood… he’s unconscious… Liam, help!” Liam immediately checked Samuel’s pulse, his expression tense. “He still has a heartbeat… But we need to hurry. The ambulance is already outside.” Several medics entered, carefully lifting Samuel’s body onto a stretcher. Rebecca climbed into the ambulance without being asked. Her hand never let go of Samuel’s cold and limp hand. “Samuel… you have to hold on, do you
