Her stomach sank.

“Oh God… Amelia,” she whispered.

Leo squinted at the envelope. “Tía… is it from mamá?”

Ariana bit her lip and tore it open. Inside was a formal notice. She unfolded it carefully, her hands trembling.

Leo peeked over her shoulder.

“Authorization notice,” Ariana read aloud slowly. “An inmate named Amelia Stone has requested approval of a transaction two hundred thousand dollars.”

Her heart pounded.

“Amelia…” she whispered, voice shaking.

Leo tugged at her shirt. “Tía? Is mamá ok

  • The Return Of The Betrayed Bride    From Heir To Employee

    Daniel let out a bitter laugh but dropped back into his chair. “There. Are you happy now, Father? I’ve sat down. Would you like me to apologize for embarrassing the family next?”Alexander’s expression darkened. “I would like you to stop behaving like a spoiled child who believes money can buy his way out of every problem.”“Money has solved every problem I’ve ever had,” Daniel snapped. “The only difference this time is that Ariana found a lawyer who knows how to play dirty.”Damien shook his head. “You really are hopeless.”Daniel pointed at him. “One more word, and I’ll make sure you regret it.”“Daniel!” Alexander’s voice thundered across the room. “Your brother is telling you what everyone else is too afraid to say. You lost custody because you gave the court reasons to take your son away. You paid a witness to lie, and now you’re angry because the truth came out.”Daniel’s jaw tightened. “So you’re taking their side now?”“I’m taking the side of common sense.”Catalina, who had r

  • The Return Of The Betrayed Bride    The Favino Family on Trial

    Gabriella stared at the entrance, her face drained of color. Her lips parted, but no sound came out. Beside her, Marisa gripped the table, trembling so badly that her chair scraped against the floor.“You told me she was dead,” Marisa whispered to Gabriella, horror spreading across her face. “You told me she would never come back.”Gabriella shook her head frantically. “I thought she was gone!”Then Clara Morales appeared.She walked into the courtroom with her head held high, looking nothing like the frightened maid who had disappeared months earlier. She was calm, composed, and ready to face the people who had ruined her life.Gabriella’s eyes widened. She opened her mouth, but the words refused to come. Adrian leaned toward her, whispering urgently, but she barely seemed to hear him.Clara walked to the witness stand without looking at either woman.Valeria watched Gabriella’s trembling hands before turning to the judge. “Your Honor, I ask that the witness be sworn in.”“Proceed,”

  • The Return Of The Betrayed Bride    The Ruins of His Perfect Life

    BLACKWOOD MANSION – SITTING ROOM – 4:00 PMDaniel stormed into the mansion without waiting for an invitation. He ignored the maid who tried to stop him and headed straight for the sitting room.Alexander Blackwood sat beside the fireplace, his stern eyes fixed on his eldest son. Catalina, Daniel’s elegant but calculating stepmother, sat beside him, while Damien lounged nearby with a glass of whiskey.Alexander frowned. “Daniel. I wasn’t expecting you.”Daniel loosened his tie. “Clearly. Otherwise, you might have prepared yourself for the news that your youngest son is having the worst day of his life.”Damien raised his glass with a smirk. “You don’t need to explain. I heard about your stupid decisions. Let me guess. Ariana won?”Daniel shot him a furious look.“What?” Damien asked innocently. “The entire city probably knows by now. You certainly made an impression in court.”“Keep your mouth shut, Damien.”Damien smirked. “Gladly. I wouldn’t want to interrupt your next brilliant plan

    Judge Morrison struck his gavel. “Court is now in session. We are here to hear the motion to overturn Amelia Stone’s conviction. Ms. Rossi, you may proceed.”Valeria stood and faced the judge. “Your Honor, Amelia Stone was convicted based on manipulated evidence and false testimony. We now have financial records showing payments to witnesses, phone records linking the accused, and evidence that the original investigation was deliberately mishandled.”Adrian Moretti rose immediately. “Your Honor, the defense objects. Ms. Rossi is turning this courtroom into a public spectacle with unproven allegations.”Valeria glanced at him. “If bank records and phone records are allegations, Mr. Moretti, I wonder what you consider evidence.”A few people in the courtroom chuckled. Adrian’s smile tightened.“Evidence must be properly authenticated,” he replied. “And I intend to challenge every document she presents.”“Then you’ll have plenty to do,” Valeria said.Judge Morrison raised his hand. “Enou

    NEW YORK CITY COURTHOUSE – OUTSIDE – 2:00 PMDaniel Blackwood sat in his car outside the courthouse, gripping the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles turned white. His jaw was clenched, and his eyes remained fixed on the dashboard. He had been sitting there for twenty minutes, unable to accept what had happened.He had lost custody of Aiden. He had lost the case, his reputation, and the right to see his own son until he completed a psychological evaluation and anger-management program. And all because of Ariana and that damn lawyer, Elena Castillo.“Fuck you, Elena,” he muttered, slamming his palm against the steering wheel. “You haven’t heard the last of me.”His phone rang, but he ignored it. When it rang again, he groaned in frustration and glanced at the screen. It was Marcus Webb, one of his business partners. Daniel almost declined the call, but he answered at the last second. “What?” he snapped.“Daniel, we need to talk,” Marcus said coldly.“I’m not in the mood for a

    Marco hesitated, and the silence that followed made Alejandro’s stomach tighten. “Elena is alive.”Alejandro froze. For several seconds, he couldn’t speak, think, or even breathe properly. Elena was dead. Everyone had told him she was dead. So how could she possibly be alive? “What did you just say?” he demanded.“Elena is alive,” Marco repeated. “She was found twitching in the morgue. Someone noticed she was still showing signs of life, so they rushed her back to the hospital. The doctors stabilized her, but she suffered a severe head injury. She’s in a coma.”Alejandro’s mouth fell open. “Elena is alive?”“Yes, but the doctors don’t know when she’ll wake up. They can’t even promise that she will.”His fingers tightened around the phone. His eyes burned as tears gathered in them. His little sister had nearly been buried alive, and he hadn’t even been there. “Why the hell didn’t anyone tell me earlier?” he demanded. “How long has she been in the hospital?”“The situation has been cha
