The bottle was empty before I even realized. Not that it mattered — there were others. I needed to drown out the noise inside my skull: the images, her name flashing on the screen, the filthy trail of what Marcos had done. I needed silence that came from the bottom of the glass.

I drank until my throat burned, until the room — the large office, decorated like an altar to my power — began to tilt. The yellow light from the lamps cast long shadows across the bookshelves. And at the center, l

    THE WEDDINGKyraI didn’t imagine Liam would be so efficient and fast. He literally thought of everything. I didn’t worry about anything, except the dress fittings, the buffet tastings, and the chosen songs, as well as the arrangements that would be at the main entrance.I didn’t want anything too big, but Liam insisted on showing everyone how happy he was. Who am I to stop the happiness of my beloved!The makeup artist was giving the final touches to the blush — I didn’t want anything extravagant, but they insist that today is my day. The most important and unforgettable day of my life.I was anxious, a part of me wanted to get married quickly and run out of there. The other part wanted the world to know that Liam Blackthorne would be my husband, forever. I wanted to scream that I love him, but the only thing I could feel was nervousness. My hands sweating nonstop, my mind telling me I’m forgetting something and I just wanting everything to be over soon.Julie was the flower girl. Sh

    KyraI woke up still feeling my body tired. My head ached as I tried to get up or process anything."Good morning, Aunt Kyra. Are you okay?" Julie was sitting in the armchair next to the bed, with her bunny on her lap and her hands restless."She was waiting to have breakfast with you. She refused to go with me, unfortunately." Liam was focused on his laptop. "Good morning, my love." "What time is it? Did I really sleep that much?" "Almost ten, but I’m not that hungry. My dad gave me toast with honey, so I can wait." "I’m going to get ready and we’ll go down, okay?" She nodded and ran to the balcony.Liam was too focused on the spreadsheet he was reviewing."Something urgent?" I approached him subtly, without invading his space."I think we’ll have to go back today. Some issues came up at the company and I need to be there within 48 hours." The irritation in his eyes was clear. "I’m sorry, I promise we’ll come back and this time, I swear I’ll have more time for you." "It’s okay.

    LiamKyra woke up early, opened the curtains, and avoided me all morning. We went down together for breakfast. At lunch, she went out with Julie to explore the beach, while I stayed back, just watching from a distance how perfectly they fit together."It’s a beautiful view, isn’t it?" the lady beside me asked. Until then, I hadn’t even noticed her presence. "Is that your wife and your daughter?" "My fiancée and my daughter" I replied, still lost in the scenery I never imagined seeing with my own eyes. "It really is a beautiful view." "And what are you waiting for to marry her?" The question hit me deeply, even though I had never really stopped to think about it. "Your daughter likes her, and from what your eyes say, you admire her… and love her too, I suppose." Before the conversation could go any further, Olivia appeared again. All calculated, as always."Do you already know each other?" she asked, placing her hands on the woman’s shoulders, who smiled at me."We just met, and we

    LiamKyra and Julie decided they wanted to go to an island, and here we are, the three of us, in Mykonos, Greece. We’re staying at the Myconian Villa Collection, in Elia Beach.Julie’s doctor came with us—I can’t risk my daughter’s life while we’re out here living. As a precaution, and since they’re already friends, I decided to invite her and pay her much more than usual.Kyra seemed at ease, or at least that’s what she tried to show. At times, I caught her with a distant look, as if searching for something she had left behind. And this time, it was happening again.She stared at the sea through the window, breathing softly, lost in thought."So… have you decided where to start?" "You know, Liam, I was thinking about how things can change in the blink of an eye. A few months ago, I was sure I was going to die without any mercy. But then I met you, you introduced me to Julie and…" she didn’t finish, and her words lingered in the air."And all of this only happened because you chose t

    A few days laterKyraThe happy days were numbered. Liam’s lawyers were downstairs, papers in hand, talking about something I couldn’t hear—but I knew exactly what it was about: Marcos.Julie was packing the backpack we’d take on the trip, while I… my heart was tight with everything that had happened."Kyra? They’re gone." Liam stood at the door, arms crossed and an irritated expression."I…" I wanted to say something, but nothing came out. "Liam, things weren’t supposed to happen like this. You only acted that way because of me. I don’t want you to take the blame for something I brought into your life." I looked out the window, trying to gather strength to fix whatever I could."None of this is your fault. He was always a mistake that came along with his sister. Let’s just say you were essential for what I wanted. Believe me, none of this is your fault. I would never let someone touch the person I love—and that person is you." "I know you knew each other before you met me, but you

    LiamI decided I wouldn’t insist on that subject anymore, even with something inside me screaming to pull an answer out of her."Alright. I’m sorry, sometimes I really am an idiot and don’t notice the good things I have around me." Her hand touched mine and I felt my body react instantly. "I really want to be with you, I just don’t want to be a burden." "You’ve never been a burden, you know that." I stopped the car still far from home. Julie looked at me sleepily but didn’t ask anything."I want to tell you that I… that I think it’s very unfair for you to want to go somewhere far from where I can see you every day when I wake up. You know that I…" "Liam, you won’t see me wake up every day, just like I’m not going to disappear overnight either. After all, what are you so afraid of?" Her gaze confused me, especially when she locked eyes with me in such an intimate moment like this. "I’m not going to disappear from your life, even if you wanted that right now, okay?"Kyra made me real
