FAVINO PENTHOUSE – 5:00 AM

Alejandro hadn’t slept all night.

He sat in his office with the lights on, his phone in his hand, calling everyone who could possibly help.

His investigator, Marcus Reed, was already working the case.

But Alejandro knew there was one more person he could call.

Someone he had hoped he would never need again.

He stared at the number on his phone for a long moment before finally dialing.

The line rang twice.

Then a deep voice answered. “Alejandro.”

Alejandro swallowed

    She walked to the corner of the room, her voice too low for Damien to hear.Alexander watched her, then looked at Damien."You married a shark," Alexander said."I haven't married anyone yet.""You will." Alexander picked up his whiskey. "And she'll destroy anyone who threatens what's hers. Including Amelia."Damien said nothing. He just stared at his bleeding shoulder and wondered what he had gotten himself into.FAVINO PENTHOUSE – SAME TIMEAmelia was standing by the window, staring at the rain, when her phone rang.Unknown number.She frowned, then answered. "Hello?"A soft, smooth voice came through. "Amelia Stone."Amelia's eyes narrowed. "Who is this?""This is Sophia Langston." The voice was calm, almost sweet. "Damien's fiancée."Silence.Amelia's grip tightened on the phone. Her knuckles went white. "Why are you calling me?"A small pause.Then—"I heard you shot my husband."Amelia's voice turned cold as ice. "He came to my house uninvited. I warned him to leave. He didn't li

    FAVINO PENTHOUSE – THAT EVENINGAmelia sat on the couch, reading softly.“…and the little lion said, ‘I’m not afraid anymore,’” she finished.Leo smiled, sleepy against her side.Then—Ding dong.“I’ll get it,” Valentina said, getting up.She walked to the door and opened it.Her whole body froze. “…Damien?”He stood there. Alive. Free. Calm.Valentina’s face went pale. “What are you doing here? How did you even—”“Please,” Damien said quietly. “Let me in. I need to talk to Amelia.”Valentina stepped forward, blocking the entrance. “No. You’re not stepping into this house.”“Valentina…” His voice cracked slightly. “I just want to see her.”“No.”By then, Amelia had heard enough.She walked over. The moment she saw him—She stopped. Her expression turned cold instantly.“Damien?” she said sharply. “I thought you were in prison.”“I was,” he said quickly. “My father got me out. Medical parole.”Amelia let out a short, bitter laugh. “Medical parole?”Her eyes darkened. “You killed Miguel

    STATE PRISON – VISITING ROOM – MORNINGThe cell door slammed open.Damien looked up from his bed, frowning. “What now? It’s not time for anything.”A guard stepped in. “Blackwood. Get up.”Damien slowly stood. “What did I do?”The warden appeared behind the guard. “Nothing. That’s the point.”Damien frowned. “What?”“You’re being released,” the warden said calmly.Silence.Damien blinked. “Released? You’re joking.”“Do I look like I joke?” the warden replied. “Good behavior. Medical parole. Someone important asked for it.”Damien’s mind started racing.Someone important?Katherina… he thought instantly. It has to be her.“Get your things,” the warden added. “You’ve got a visitor waiting.”—A few minutes later, Damien walked into the visiting room.He was ready.Ready to see Katherina, Ready to tell her he didn’t need her help.But then— He stopped.His father stood by the window. Alexander Blackwood.Sharp suit. Calm posture. Like he owned the room.Like he owned everything.Damien’s

    ARIANA’S NEW APARTMENT – BROOKLYN – MORNINGThe apartment was still half-empty.Boxes everywhere. Clothes still folded inside them. Nothing felt like home yet.Ariana sat on the floor, leaning against the couch. The silence was heavy. Aiden was at daycare.Her phone buzzed.She ignored it.Buzz.Buzz.She picked it up with a sigh.Daniel: Ariana, please. We need to talk.Daniel: I’m outside. Let me in.Daniel: I’m not leaving.Ariana stood and walked to the window. She pulled the curtain aside.Daniel was down there.Looking up.He looked terrible. Tired. Messy. Broken.She stared at him for a second.“Good,” she whispered. “You should look like that.”She dropped the curtain and walked to the door. One lock. Two locks. Three.She opened it.A few seconds later, footsteps rushed up the stairs.Daniel appeared.“Ariana—”“Don’t,” she cut in, raising her hand. “Don’t say my name like that. You don’t get to.”He froze.“I know I messed up,” he said quickly. “I know I hurt you. But I love

    His eyes lifted to hers sharp and full of hate.“The same woman who lied about having cancer just to trap me?”Katherina flinched. “That was years ago—”“And you’re still the same,” he cut in coldly. “Still lying. Still manipulating. Still ruining people’s lives.”Her face tightened. “I’m not here to fight.”“Oh, but you always are,” he said. “That’s all you know how to do.”Katherina leaned closer, her voice dropping. “I can get you out of here.”That made him pause.Just for a second.“I have money now,” she continued quickly. “Connections. People who owe me favors. I can fix this. I can get your case reopened. Reduced. Maybe even dismissed.”Damien stared at her. Suspicious and Unimpressed.“And why would you do that?” he asked.“Because we can help each other,” she said. “We can take everything from Amelia. Together.”Silence.Then—Damien burst out laughing again.Louder this time.Mocking.“You?” he said, shaking his head. “Take anything from Amelia?”His voice turned sharp. “Yo

    Amelia looked up from her coffee, her eyes narrowing slightly.“Maria? What is it?” she asked. “You look… nervous.”Maria didn’t answer immediately. She closed the door behind her first.That alone made Amelia sit up straighter.“I’m fine,” Maria said, but her voice didn’t match. She walked closer, lowering her tone. “I just… didn’t know if I should say anything.”Amelia slowly set her cup down. “Say what?”Maria hesitated just long enough to make it feel real.“It’s about Mr. Alejandro.”Amelia’s expression hardened instantly. “What about him?”Maria leaned in slightly, like she didn’t want anyone else to hear.“I saw him last night,” she said. “Very late. In the hallway.”Amelia’s eyes locked on hers. “Go on.”“He was on the phone,” Maria continued. “But… it wasn’t a normal call.”“What do you mean?”“He kept looking around,” Maria said quietly. “Like he didn’t want to be seen. And when he noticed movement, he turned his back.”A pause.Amelia’s fingers curled slightly on the table.

    “He didn’t believe me. He’s demanding a paternity test.”“We expected that.”“Yes, but he might tell Amelia.” Gabriella stood up, pacing. “That’s actually better. Much better. Let him tell her himself. Let her hear it from him that there might be another woman’s baby. The doubt alone will eat her a
