Beverly was dozing in her bed when Vanya burst through the door, her face flushed with excitement.

"Beverly! Wake up! You need to hear this!"

Beverly's eyes opened immediately, her hand instinctively going to her stomach. Is the baby okay? she signed, panic rising.

"The baby is fine. This is not about that. This is about Maurice."

Beverly sat up straighter. Maurice? What about him?

"He is alive."

Beverly stared at Vanya, certain she had misunderstood. She signed slowly: That is not possible. We heard the gunshot. Diro said he was dead.

"We thought he was dead," Vanya said, sitting on the edge of the bed. "But he survived. Barely. And he has been in our hospital this whole time."

Beverly's hands shook as she signed: Your hospital? Here? In the compound?

"Not in the main compound. We have a private medical facility about twenty miles from here. For emergencies. For people who cannot go to regular hospitals without questions being asked." Vanya was speaking rapidly, her words tumbling ov

  • Obsessed with His Unwanted Mute Bride    Honest Conversation

    Diro stayed in Don Fernandez's office for another hour. They talked about guilt. About living with mistakes. About choosing to be better even when you did not feel worthy of redemption.When Diro finally left, he headed straight to the medical wing. He needed to see Beverly. Needed to be near the one person who had survived everything Irene had done and still found the strength to forgive.Dr. Silva was leaving Beverly's room when Diro arrived. "She is stable. Resting well. The baby is stronger every day. But she still needs to avoid stress.""I will not upset her," Diro promised. "I just need to see her."Dr. Silva studied his face. Saw the evidence of tears. The exhaustion. "Five minutes. Then she needs to sleep."Diro nodded and entered the room quietly.Beverly was awake, propped up on pillows, her hand resting on her growing belly. She looked up when he entered and immediately her expression changed. She saw something was wrong.What happened? she signed urgently.Diro closed the

  • Obsessed with His Unwanted Mute Bride    The Weight of Truth

    It happened three days after Murphy officially accepted him as a brother. Three days after Diro thought he had finally found his place in the Fernandez family. Three days after he started to believe he could move forward.Diro was in his room reviewing the documents he had stolen from Irene's safe. Photographs of bank transfers. Recorded conversations with judges. Evidence of bribes paid to dozens of officials over two decades. Everything needed to destroy her political network.Then he came across a folder he had not noticed before. It was labeled simply: "Diro - Insurance."His hands shook as he opened it.Inside were files about him. About things he had done over the years while working for Irene. Crimes he had committed. People he had hurt. All documented meticulously.There was evidence of the hostile takeover he had orchestrated against the Fernandez shipping business. The one that had nearly bankrupted Murphy's operations. Photos of the meeting where he had signed the papers. R

    Murphy found Diro in the training facility at dawn the morning after his return from the mansion. Diro was hitting a punching bag with methodical precision, working through the tension and adrenaline that still coursed through him from the previous night."You should be resting," Murphy said from the doorway. "You barely slept.""I cannot rest," Diro said, not stopping his rhythm. "Too much energy. Too many thoughts."Murphy walked into the facility and stood watching for a moment. "You pulled it off. I did not think you could. But you actually fooled Irene Carter.""For now," Diro said between punches. "Eventually she will check the safe. She will realize it was accessed. She will know I betrayed her.""By then it will not matter," Murphy said. "We are releasing the documents today. Every corrupt judge. Every bribed politician. Every piece of evidence of her criminal network. By tonight, the whole world will know what she is."Diro stopped punching. Turned to face Murphy. "And then s

    Beverly woke the next morning to find Vanya asleep in the chair beside her bed. She was curled up uncomfortably, a blanket half-fallen off her shoulders, her neck bent at an angle that would leave her sore.She had stayed all night. Watching over Beverly even when there was no need.Beverly felt a warmth in her chest that had nothing to do with the IV fluids or medication. This was what family felt like. Real family. Not the twisted version Irene had created.Vanya stirred and opened her eyes. Immediately, she sat up straighter. "You are awake. How do you feel? Any cramping? Any pain?"Beverly signed: A little sore. But no cramping. The baby feels okay."Good," Vanya said, relief flooding her face. "Dr. Silva will be here soon to check on you. But first, let us get you freshened up."She helped Beverly wash her face and hands without getting out of bed. Helped her brush her teeth using a basin. Helped her into a clean nightgown. Small acts of care that Beverly had not experienced sinc

    That night, Beverly could not sleep. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Diro walking into the Carter mansion. Saw Irene's face when she realized he had betrayed her. Saw him trapped with no way out.She tossed and turned, her mind racing with fear. The stress built in her chest like a physical weight, making it hard to breathe.Around midnight, the cramping started.It was subtle at first. Just a tightening in her lower abdomen that she tried to ignore. But within minutes, it intensified. Sharp pains that made her gasp.Then she felt wetness.Beverly threw back the blanket with shaking hands and saw blood. Not a lot. But enough. Enough to know something was very wrong.She tried to reach for the emergency call button beside her bed, but another cramp hit. Worse than before. She doubled over, her hand clutching her stomach.The baby. Please not the baby.The door opened. Vanya had been checking on her every few hours, worried about the stress of the day. She took one look at Bever

  • Obsessed with His Unwanted Mute Bride    Irene's Countermoves

    Diro spent the morning preparing for his first contact with Irene. He rehearsed what he would say. How he would sound. The exact mix of fear and loyalty that would convince her he was still her son who wanted to come home.But before he could make the call, everything changed.Murphy burst into the strategy room where Diro, Don Fernandez, and Maurice were reviewing transfer documents. His face was pale. "We have a problem. A big one.""What kind of problem?" Don Fernandez asked."Irene knows," Murphy said. "She knows about the Kent alliance. She knows we are planning something."The room went cold."How?" Diro demanded. "We were careful. The meeting with Kent was secure. No one outside the families knew.""Someone talked," Murphy said. "Or she has surveillance we did not detect. Or she has an informant inside Kent's organization. I do not know how. But she knows."Maurice leaned forward in his wheelchair. "How do you know she knows?""Because she is already moving against us," Murphy
