“Can you come over?” Amelia’s voice cracked.

“Please. I need—I can’t—”

“I’m already in my car,” Ariana said. “I’ll be there in twenty minutes. Have you eaten anything?”

“I don’t—no. I don’t know.”

“I’m bringing food. And mezcal.”

“You’re eight months pregnant. You can’t drink mezcal.”

“The mezcal is for you, idiota. I’ll have water and judge you lovingly.” Ariana’s voice was firm but gentle. “Don’t do anything stupid before I get there, okay? No calling him. No breaking anything else. Just sit

  • The Return Of The Betrayed Bride    Where the Freaking Hell is My Son ?

    SAINT VICTORIA HOSPITAL — VIP SUITE — EVENINGAmelia stood frozen in the doorway, her mouth hanging open.She stared at the room in disbelief. This didn’t look like a hospital room at all. It looked more like an expensive five-star hotel suite.The floor was polished hardwood, partly covered by a thick cream-colored rug. A large, comfortable bed sat in the middle of the room, covered with fresh white sheets. There were fresh flowers on the table, expensive chocolates beside the bed, and a soft robe hanging neatly on the bathroom door.Amelia slowly turned around, taking everything in.She had spent months in a cold prison cell, sleeping on a thin mattress and eating food that tasted like cardboard. She had dreamed of freedom every single day.Now she was standing in a room that looked like something from another world. “What the hell is this place?” she whispered.She took a few steps inside and looked around again.“This is not a hospital room. This is a freaking palace.”She walked

    Elena picked up her phone and dialed Daniel. He answered after a few rings, his voice low and slightly impatient.“What is it?”Elena leaned back in her chair and crossed her legs. “My payment still hasn’t been processed.”There was a brief silence on the other end before Daniel replied, “I told you I’d take care of it.”“I know what you told me,” Elena said, her voice carrying a touch of irritation. “But it isn’t easy deceiving Ariana. I’m putting my reputation on the line for you, Daniel. The least you can do is make sure I get paid on time.”“I said I’ll handle it.”“You’d better,” Elena replied coldly. She glanced toward the closed office door before continuing. “And you need to deal with Marco too. That idiot actually thinks his testimony is going to help Ariana in court.”Daniel let out a quiet sigh. “What did he say?”“He volunteered to testify that Ariana is a wonderful mother.” Elena rolled her eyes. “Can you believe that? He’s known her for barely a week, and he actually thi

    Elena tore them again, calmly reducing the documents to pieces before dropping them onto the table. “I’m making something very clear,” she said coldly. “You hired me to represent you. That means you listen to me.”She leaned back in her chair, her expression completely unmoved. “You want to fight Daniel for custody? Fine. Fight him. But stop bringing me emotional speeches, useless witnesses, and people you think are credible simply because you love them.”Ariana clenched her fists.Elena gave her a cold, almost mocking smile. “Find me people with clean records, credibility, and firsthand knowledge of how you care for Aiden. Otherwise, I will walk away from this case.”Ariana stared at the torn papers. “But you just destroyed the documents I signed.”“Yes.” Elena shrugged. “Because I haven’t decided whether you’re worth the trouble yet.”Marco’s expression hardened. “You can’t treat her like this.”Elena slowly turned her eyes toward him. “Was I speaking to you?”Marco fell silent.Ele

    Valerie stopped in front of him and looked him straight in the eyes. “I’m Valerie Rossi.”Briggs scoffed and folded his arms across his chest. “I don’t care who you are. This is a prison transfer, and you have no authority here.”Valerie’s eyes narrowed, but she remained calm. “Oh, I think you’ll find that I have exactly the authority I need.”Briggs gave her a dismissive look. “She’s a prisoner. She’s been cleared for transfer. That’s all you need to know.”Valerie gave him a cold smile. “Then I suggest you check your paperwork again.”Briggs frowned, clearly annoyed by Valerie’s confidence. “And why would I do that?”Valerie stepped closer, her expression hardening. Her voice remained calm, but there was a clear warning in her tone. “Because if you put another hand on my client without following the proper legal procedure, you’re going to have a very serious problem on your hands.”Behind her, Daniel quietly opened the briefcase and began taking out the documents.Valerie didn’t eve

    Ariana opened her mouth, but Elena raised one finger, stopping her.“So, whether you like it or not, legally, he is still your husband.”Ariana’s face tightened.Elena picked up her pen again and tapped it against the table. “You can call yourself whatever you want socially, but the court is going to look at the legal documents. And according to those documents, Daniel Blackwood is still your husband.”Marco shifted uncomfortably beside Ariana.Elena glanced at him. “And before you start defending her again, remember that I’m trying to help her. Making excuses won’t get Aiden back. Facts will.”Ariana's eyes filled with tears. "I know. That's why I'm here. That's why I need your help. I'll do anything. I'll pay anything. Just please, help me get my son back."Elena studied Ariana for a long moment, her eyes unreadable. She slowly tapped her pen against the table, her expression cold and calculating.“Tell me, Mrs. Martino,” Elena said, “do you have any idea how much this is going to c

  • The Return Of The Betrayed Bride    The Lawyer From Hell

    ELENA CASTILLO’s OFFICE — CONFERENCE ROOM — AFTERNOONThe office was sleek and modern, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city skyline.Ariana sat at the conference table, her hands clasped tightly in her lap. She was nervous, her heart pounding in her chest. Her palms were sweaty. Her mouth was dry. Beside her sat Marco, his leg still bandaged, his arm in a sling. He had insisted on coming with her, and she was grateful for his support.Across from them sat Elena Rossi, a sharp-faced woman in her forties with cold eyes and a predatory smile. Elena Castillo sat across from Ariana, looking completely unimpressed.She was dressed in an expensive black pantsuit, her hair pulled back into a tight, severe bun. A gold watch rested on her wrist, and her manicured fingers tapped an expensive pen against the table with growing impatience.She glanced at Ariana as if she were already tired of dealing with her. “So,” Elena said flatly, flipping through the papers in front of her. “
