Arturo shifted in his seat.

“It’s the victim of a long-term theft operation,” Amelia continued. “About two percent of gross revenue has been diverted every quarter for the past eighteen months.”

Arturo’s glass shook.

Marisa didn’t blink. “Diverted how?”

“Through fake operational fees,” Amelia replied. “Fees that don’t exist in the ports they’re assigned to. The money was routed through a shell company registered in Gibraltar.”

Silence dropped like a blade.

Marisa folded her hands. “And who auth

    Amelia’s jaw tightened, but she refused to give him the satisfaction of seeing her lose control.“You really do enjoy hearing yourself talk, don’t you? Don’t mistake a problem for a defeat. I have a board to deal with, a company to protect, and a sister who clearly needs reminding of her place. None of that changes the fact that Leo is my son.”“Then deal with your problems first. We can discuss Leo when you’re in a better position.”“There’s nothing to discuss. You don’t get to decide when I’m allowed to speak to my child.”“Good luck with your board meeting, Amelia. You’ll need it. And while you’re busy trying to save your company, don’t forget about my offer. Delay the launch of your three ships if you really want to speak to Leo.”Amelia let out an irritated laugh. “You’re still going on about those ships? Damien, do you ever get tired of embarrassing yourself?”“There’s another option, of course.”“What option?”“Come back to me.”Amelia went quiet for a moment, certain she had he

    “Damien, I knew prison had made me miss a few things, but I never expected to return and discover that you had become this shameless.”“It’s a reasonable request.”“Reasonable?” Amelia let out a humourless laugh. “You want me to interfere with my company’s operations because you’re frightened of the competition. Why don’t you just admit that Stone Shipping’s success scares you? It would save us both the embarrassment of pretending this is some brilliant business strategy.”“Two weeks, Amelia. That’s all I’m asking.”“And I’m asking to speak to my son. Yet somehow, you’re the one making demands.” Her voice sharpened. “Leo is not a bargaining chip, Damien. He’s my child, not a business contract you can hold hostage until I give you what you want.”“If you want to speak to him, you know what you have to do.”Amelia’s fingers tightened around the phone. “Listen carefully, because I’m only going to say this once. I will not sabotage my company to protect yours. If Blackwood Industries can’

    Alexander’s breath brushed Catalina’s ear, sending a shiver down her spine. She could have stepped away, but instead, she tilted her head and caught the front of his shirt in her fingers, pulling him closer.“Show me,” she whispered. “I’m tired of pretty promises tonight.”A slow smile spread across his face. He pressed a kiss beneath her ear, lingering long enough to make her grip tighten on his shirt. “Careful what you ask for, Mrs. Reyes.”“Stop talking and prove you mean it.” Alexander laughed softly before guiding her backward until she reached the bedroom door. He slipped inside with her and shut it behind them. The quiet click of the lock made Catalina’s heart race. His hands settled at her waist, drawing her against him, while his gaze moved over her face as if he were giving her one last chance to change her mind.She didn’t.“You’ve been driving me crazy all day,” he murmured, brushing his lips against hers. “Watching you handle Katherina at that table, I could barely conc

  • The Return Of The Betrayed Bride    The Ridiculous Offer

    AMELIA STONE MANSION ~ NEW YORK CITY The black SUV turned through the tall iron gates of Amelia Stone’s mansion and rolled down the familiar driveway. Amelia sat in the back seat, staring out at the beautiful gardens, the marble fountain, and the grand entrance she hadn’t seen in six months. Ariana glanced at her and smiled. “We’re home, Amelia.”Amelia nodded, swallowing the lump in her throat. “Six months in prison. Do you know how many times I dreamed about this place? I even started missing the ridiculous fountain. I used to complain about the sound of the water, but now I would gladly listen to it all day.”“You can complain about it again tomorrow,” Ariana teased. “Today, just enjoy being home.”Before Amelia could reply, the SUV stopped in front of the mansion. The driver hurried out to open her door, while Ariana stepped out on the other side. Amelia climbed out slowly, then looked toward the entrance and stopped in surprise. A large white banner stretched across the front o

    “I would throw you out in a fucking heartbeat without thinking twice!” Daniel snapped. “Do you want to know the only reason I’m even entertaining this nonsense? Because you’re the mother of my children! And because Catalina and Camilla deserve to know their mother is receiving treatment instead of finding out one day that she died without anyone trying to help her.”Katherina’s lips parted, but Daniel continued before she could respond.“I’m doing this for the children, not because I suddenly give a damn about you. So, since you keep throwing that cancer diagnosis in our faces, answer me something. What kind of cancer do you have again? And what stage is it?”Katherina blinked rapidly. “I-I already told you that I have—”“You told us you have cancer,” Daniel interrupted. “That’s not an answer. What type? What stage? What treatment has your doctor recommended? You want thirty million naira, a private bedroom, a driver, and a nanny, but you can’t even give us a straight answer about the

    Alexander turned away, coughing suspiciously into his fist.Katherina shot to her feet. “Excuse me? Who the hell said I was going to seduce you?”“I’m establishing boundaries,” Daniel replied calmly. “I’d rather not wake up at two in the morning to find you wearing sexy lingerie, standing beside my bed, and reminding me that we have children together.”Catalina lost the battle and burst into laughter. “Daniel, you have clearly thought about this in great detail!”“I’m being prepared.”“Prepared?” Katherina shrieked. “You arrogant, self-important bastard! I’d rather seduce a lamppost!”“Good,” Daniel said. “A lamppost won’t misunderstand our relationship.”Catalina doubled over laughing while Alexander shook his head, no longer bothering to hide his smile. Katherina looked around the room, furious that nobody was taking her outrage seriously. “You people are unbelievable!”Daniel ignored the complaints and pushed the agreement toward her. “Those are my terms. Do you agree to them?”Kat

    Alexander swallowed hard, trying to hold his ground. “This isn’t fair—”Vivian’s eyes glistened as she stepped closer, her voice low and shaky but filled with desire.“Fair?” she whispered. “I’ve been patient, Alex. I’ve stayed quiet while you buried yourself in guilt over her. It’s been three day

    “Two days ago. Daniel and I were talking about the party, and we realized—why wait? We love each other. We have a son together. We want to be a family. So we’re doing it now.” Ariana twisted her hands together. “Are you mad?”“Mad? Are you kidding?” Amelia rushed forward and hugged her best friend
