She slipped it into her pocket without a word.

When she got back to the penthouse, the elevator opened to a heavy silence. Maria was in the kitchen, chopping vegetables and getting dinner ready. In the living room, Leo sat on the floor, Lego pieces spread everywhere.

“Mom!” He jumped up and wrapped his arms around her legs. “Look, I made a boat. Like the ones Alejandro talked about.”

Amelia knelt and studied the shaky little build. “It’s amazing, sweetheart. You made this all by yourself?”

  • The Return Of The Betrayed Bride    The Perfect Sister Act

    VALENTINA’S BEDROOM – 3:00 AMThe bedroom was wrapped in heavy darkness. Valentina lay curled on her side under soft silk sheets, one protective hand resting on her small baby bump. A gentle smile played on her lips even in sleep. She was dreaming of baby names Isabella for a girl, Matteo for a boy. It didn’t matter which. She just wanted this baby healthy and safe. Nicholas’s child. Their fresh start.Then the pain struck.It came like a hot knife twisting deep inside her womb.Valentina’s eyes flew open. She gasped sharply, sucking in air. Her hand pressed harder against her belly.“It’s nothing,” she whispered to the dark room. “Just cramps. Pregnancy cramps. It’ll pass.”But the second cramp hit harder vicious, tearing. She doubled over, crying out. Sweat broke across her forehead instantly. Her nightgown felt wet. Too wet.She threw the covers off and stumbled toward the bathroom, legs shaking so badly she nearly fell. When she flipped on the light, the sight made her scre

    He turned and walked toward Room 412, leaving Amelia standing alone in the noisy hallway.Machines kept beeping. Doctors kept shouting.Amelia slid down the wall, buried her face in her hands, and whispered, “Who is doing this to me?”FAVINO PENTHOUSE – 8:00 PM – SAME DAYThe penthouse was deathly quiet. The kind of silence that pressed on your chest and made every breath feel loud.Amelia sat alone on the huge couch, knees pulled to her chest, staring at nothing. Alejandro was still at the hospital. He hadn’t come home. He wasn’t answering her calls or texts. Just radio silence.Her phone buzzed.Katherina: Valentina and I are coming over. We heard what happened to Marisa. We’re not letting you sit here alone.Amelia typed back with shaking fingers: Okay.Thirty minutes later, the elevator dinged. Katherina and Valentina stepped out, both in comfy clothes, carrying bags of food that smelled amazing.“Amelia…” Valentina said softly, rushing over and pulling her into a tight hug. “Ho

    PENTHOUSE – 2:45 PMThe paramedics burst through the door like a storm. Two men and one woman rushed in, equipment clanging.“Move back! Move!” one paramedic shouted.Clara stood in the corner, shaking violently, tears streaming.“Is she going to be okay?!” she cried. “Tell me she’s going to live! She was fine just minutes ago! We were talking and drinking tea and then she just… she just dropped!”The female paramedic checked Marisa’s pulse. “Her heart rate is crashing. Get the oxygen on her now!”They slapped an oxygen mask on Marisa’s face, started an IV, and strapped her to the stretcher. Machines beeped wildly.Clara grabbed the paramedic’s arm, sobbing hysterically.“Please don’t let her die! She’s like a mother to me! She was yelling at Amelia earlier and now this! Oh God, what if she doesn’t make it?!”The paramedic pulled away gently. “We’re doing everything we can. We need to get her to the hospital right now.”As they wheeled Marisa toward the elevator, Clara followed, st

    FAVINO PENTHOUSE – THREE DAYS LATER – 2:00 PMMarisa Favino sat on the expensive couch like a queen on her throne.At seventy, she still looked closer to sixty. Money had a way of slowing down time.Amelia sat directly across from her, hands folded neatly in her lap. On the outside she looked calm. Inside, she was screaming.“Forty days,” Marisa said coldly. “I gave you forty days to get pregnant. That was months ago, Amelia. Months.”“I’ve been busy—” Amelia started.“Busy?” Marisa’s voice sliced through the air like a whip. “Busy destroying your marriage? Busy starting silly wars with Catalina? Busy humiliating my son at that charity gala in front of the whole world?”Amelia’s jaw tightened. “That’s not fair.”“Fair?” Marisa let out a short, icy laugh. “Life isn’t fair, my dear. I didn’t raise my son to marry a woman who can’t even give him a child. A real Favino heir.”Amelia flinched but held her ground. “We already have Leo. Alejandro loves him like his own.”“Leo is not his bl

    “Alex!” She slapped his arm, but her legs were still locked around him. “Get off me, you animal. We need to shower and dress in like… five minutes.”Alejandro finally pulled out with a reluctant groan and rolled off her. He watched her scramble out of bed, naked and flushed, cum already dripping down her thighs.“Fuck, you look good like that,” he muttered.“Stop staring and move!” Amelia ran to the bathroom, turning on the shower. “I can’t show up looking like I just got fucked senseless.”“That’s exactly how you should show up,” he called after her, following her into the steamy glass enclosure.The shower was supposed to be quick.It wasn’t.Alejandro pressed her against the cool tiles, water cascading over them as he kissed her hard. His soapy hands slid over her breasts, pinching her nipples until she moaned into his mouth.“Baby… we really don’t have time,” she gasped, even as she reached down and stroked his hardening cock.“Two minutes,” he growled, lifting one of her legs a

    Amelia looked at the crying maid with soft eyes. Clara’s tears spilled over her cheeks like rain. “Thank you, Mrs. Favino. Thank you,” she whispered. “I swear on my mother’s life—I’m telling the truth. I didn’t plant that receipt. I would never hurt you.”Alejandro stared at his wife like she had lost her mind. “Amelia, what are you doing?” he said sharply.“You heard me,” Amelia replied calmly. She stood up and walked over to Clara. “You’re not getting fired. Go home. Take care of your mother. We’ll sort this out later.”Clara grabbed Amelia’s hands, sobbing harder. “Thank you… thank you so much. I won’t forget this. I swear on my mother’s life—I didn’t do it.”“I believe you,” Amelia said gently, squeezing her hands. “Go now.”Clara gave Alejandro one last sad look. “I’m sorry you don’t believe me, Mr. Favino. But I’m not your enemy.” Then she hurried out.The door clicked shut.Alejandro spun toward his wife. “What the hell was that, Amelia? You just let her go? She was on the c

    Alejandro stood on the sidewalk outside Amelia’s towering apartment building. The crisp New York morning air did nothing to clear the fog in his head. His duffel bag felt like a brick in his hand, heavy with the few clothes he’d grabbed in a rush.Suddenly, cameras clicked around him. Paparazzi app

    “Or what?” Damien taunted, taking a casual step further into the room. “You’ll freeze me with a look? File a restraining order? You always did prefer paperwork to people.”“That’s enough,” Alejandro growled, his temper snapping. He moved fully in front of Amelia. “You don’t speak to her like that.”

    “It’s… it’s Mr. Favino, ma’am.” The voice on the line hesitated.“Photos. Of Mr. Favino. With another woman. In New York.”The world seemed to tip sideways. Amelia closed her eyes.“Send everything again,” she said, voice calm too calm. “And clear my schedule.”“Yes, ma’am.”The line clicked dead.
