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

  • The Return Of The Betrayed Bride    The Blackwood Scandal

    BLACKWOOD FAMILY MANSION ~ NEW YORK CITY“Your ex-wife?” Catalina repeated, staring at Damien in disbelief.“Unfortunately,” Damien replied.“And Daniel’s baby mama, too? That means the Blackwood brothers have been sharing women without informing me of the arrangements.” Catalina shook her head. “Honestly, I need someone to explain this family to me because I’m starting to get confused.”“Catalina!” Alexander barked.“What? I’m simply trying to understand our family structure. At this point, we might need a family tree to keep track of everyone.”Katherina laughed. “It’s good to see nothing has changed. You’re all still as dramatic as ever.”“Speak for yourself,” Damien replied. “I was hoping the next time I saw you, it would be in a country where you were behind bars, paying for your crimes.”She smiled sweetly at him before turning to Daniel. Unfortunately for her, Daniel wasn’t paying attention to their exchange. His eyes had moved to the two little girls standing beside Katherina,

    “I kept the business running!” Valentina protested. “You should be thanking me!”“Oh, the nerve of you!” Amelia snatched the files from Valeria. “You want me to thank you for destroying my company?”She opened the first file and glanced at the figures. Her expression turned murderous. “Stock prices have dropped by eighty percent. Ten million dollars is missing, and Stone Shipping has fallen from the top three shipping companies in New York to the top twenty! What the hell have you been doing for six months?”Valentina shifted uncomfortably. “The market has been difficult, and—”“Shut your mouth! I haven’t finished.” Amelia slammed the file against her chest. “You brought your fraudulent boyfriend, Nicholas Hale, back into my company. A man who couldn’t manage a lemonade stand without stealing the money! Did you think I wouldn’t find out?”“Don’t you dare insult Nicholas!” Valentina snapped. “He’s more qualified than you think!”Amelia laughed in disbelief. “Qualified? Is that what you

    Gabriella broke down, desperately reaching for him, but he stepped away.Marisa turned toward her son.“Alejandro, don’t speak to your wife like that!”He swung around, his face twisted with fury. “Will you shut your pathetic mouth, Mother? You’re a deranged, controlling psycho! Now I understand why Miguel kept his wife away from you for years. He knew exactly what kind of woman you were!”Marisa’s expression faltered. “You have just been sentenced to ten years in prison, and you’re still trying to control everyone around you! You framed Amelia, destroyed my marriage, and ruined lives because you couldn’t stand the thought of not having your way. And you still think you have the right to lecture me?”“I did everything for this family!” Marisa protested.“No. You did everything for yourself!”The words silenced her. For the first time, Marisa seemed to understand that she had lost more than her freedom. She had lost her son’s trust, and no amount of shouting could force him to give it b

    BLACKWOOD MANSION ~ NEW YORK CITY For several seconds, the room fell silent. Daniel stared at her. “What?”“You heard me,” Catalina replied. “Since my sons have failed to give us grandchildren who aren’t caught up in the consequences of their parents’ terrible decisions, we’ve decided to take matters into our own hands.”Damien burst out laughing. “Father, you’re seventy-two. Are you sure you’re ready for midnight feedings and dirty diapers? Because I can barely imagine you waking up before eight to change a nappy.”Alexander shot him a warning look. “Your mother and I will manage.”“Of course you will.” Damien nodded solemnly. “I’ll start looking for a retirement-friendly baby monitor. Something that alerts you when the child cries and reminds you to take your medication.”“Damien!” Catalina snapped, though she struggled to hide her amusement.“What? I’m being supportive. Every family needs a reliable backup plan.”“Both of you are insane,” Daniel muttered, rubbing his forehead. “Fi

    “Or what? You’ll have me arrested too? Forge my signature and send me to prison?” He stepped closer, his eyes burning with hatred. “You’ve spent your entire life acting like a queen, but now everyone can see what you really are: a bitter old woman who would rather destroy her own family than admit she’s wrong!”Marisa opened her mouth, but Alejandro cut her off.“Save your breath. I’ve heard enough of your poison to last a lifetime. You can spend the rest of your life screaming at prison walls, blaming everyone else for your misery, and wondering why nobody gives a damn about you. You earned every second of it!”Alejandro turned away from his mother, his chest rising and falling with anger. “And when you finally realize your own son wants nothing to do with you, remember this: you didn’t lose your family because of Amelia. You lost us because you’re a wicked, selfish woman who never deserved the love we gave you!”“Enough, Mr. Alejandro Favino!” Judge Morrison barked, striking his gav

    A few people in the courtroom struggled to hide their reactions.Alejandro turned toward her, but Amelia refused to look at him. Judge Morrison struck his gavel. “Mr.Favino, control yourself. You will speak when the court permits it.”Alejandro sank back into his chair, his face burning with shock and humiliation.Valeria folded her arms and faced Marisa again. “Why did you hate Amelia so much that you were willing to send her to prison for six months? She gave birth while imprisoned, lost one of her children, and now the other is fighting for his life. Was your hatred worth all that suffering?”Marisa gave a humorless laugh. “Because she was an American whore who thought she could walk into my family, spread her legs for my son, and become the mistress of the Favino household!”The courtroom erupted in shocked whispers.Amelia slowly lifted her head, her eyes cold.“Your Honor,” Valeria said, raising her voice, “I would like the record to reflect the witness’s attitude toward the wom
