Amelia stared at him in disbelief. For a moment, she said nothing. She just looked at him. This man she had once loved. This man she had married. This man who had promised to protect her, to stand by her, to love her until death.

Then she laughed. It was a short, humorless laugh. The kind of laugh that comes out when something is so ridiculous, so insulting, that you don't know what else to do.

"You really are unbelievable," she said.

Alejandro frowned. "What?"

"You think this is about money?"

    Richard turned to the board members. "The board has agreed that Valentina is our preferred candidate for chief executive. We will now vote on whether to withdraw our support from Amelia if she continues to refuse. All those in favour of walking away from the company if Amelia refuses to make Valentina the CEO, raise your hand."Amelia watched in horror as hands went up around the table. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten.Ten hands. Ten board members. Ten people she had trusted.Valentina smiled. A slow, cruel smile that spread across her face like poison. "You see, sister?" Valentina said sweetly. "No one wants you here. No one wants an ex-convict running this company. They want me. They've always wanted me."Amelia's chest heaved. Her voice shook with rage. "You want to leave? Fine. You all can leave. I can replace you people."Richard laughed a short, bitter sound. "Replace us? With who? No one would want to work with you. You're a convicted criminal. You're

    “Sir, please step back. We need room to work.”Daniel’s brows pulled together as he tightened his grip on Katherina’s hand. “I’m coming with her. I’m not staying behind.”“Sir, we need to treat her first. Please, let us do our job.”Daniel’s jaw tightened. He looked from the paramedic to Katherina, his expression tense with worry. After a moment, he reluctantly released her hand and stepped aside, his fingers curling into fists at his sides. He watched helplessly as the paramedics administered emergency treatment before carefully lifting Katherina onto a stretcher.“Is she breathing properly?” he asked, moving closer as they wheeled her towards the door.“We’re doing everything we can. We’ll continue treating her on the way to the hospital.”Daniel nodded anxiously and hurried after them, his eyes fixed on Katherina. A heavy wave of guilt washed over him. He pressed his palms against his face and dragged them down slowly, his fingers trembling. After taking a shaky breath, he pulled o

    The boardroom fell silent when Richard cleared his throat. He placed both palms flat on the mahogany table and looked directly at Amelia, who was already growing impatient with the discussion“Temporarily,” he said.Amelia raised an eyebrow and gave him a disbelieving look. “Temporarily? And who exactly do you have in mind to take control of my company?”“Me. Me!” Valentina quickly interrupted, leaning forward with an eager smile. “I’m the one who should take control of the company temporarily.”Amelia slowly turned towards her sister, then let out a mocking laugh. “Who else would it be? Apart from the backstabbing, attention-seeking BBL whore who’s been waiting for an opportunity to steal what she couldn’t build herself?”Valentina’s smile vanished as her face twisted with anger.“Enough of the vulgar language!” Richard snapped, glaring at Amelia. “You’re insulting your incoming CEO.”Amelia rolled her eyes. “Incoming CEO? Is that what we’re calling her now? How touching. I didn’t rea

  • The Return Of The Betrayed Bride    One knock Too Late

    Daniel Blackwood stood outside the hotel room door. His jaw was clenched. His hands were shoved deep into his pockets. He had been up all night, thinking about what his father had said. About responsibility. About being a father. About doing the right thing.He knocked on the door. "Katherina. It's Daniel. Open up." No response. He knocked again, louder this time. "Katherina! I know you're in there. Open the door!"Still nothing.Daniel's heart started to pound. He pulled out his phone and called her. He could hear the phone ringing inside the room. But no one answered."Katherina, if you don't open this door, I'm going to break it down!"Silence. Daniel stepped back. He took a deep breath. Then he charged forward and slammed his shoulder against the door. It burst open. He stumbled inside. The room was a disaster. Clothes were scattered across the floor. A half-empty glass of water sat on the nightstand. The curtains were drawn, casting everything in a dull grey light.He stepped insi

  • The Return Of The Betrayed Bride    A Heel Against My Unborn Child

    Alejandro lunged forward, but the officers were already moving. One grabbed Gabriella’s wrist while the other caught her arm, trying to wrestle the knife from her hand. Gabriella fought back, screaming and twisting so violently that both men struggled to keep her under control. “Let go of me!” she screamed. “Don’t touch me!”“Ma’am, drop the knife!” one of the officers ordered.But Gabriella refused to listen. In the struggle, the blade suddenly plunged into her lower abdomen. She let out a sharp, agonizing scream. Her fingers immediately loosened, and the knife slipped from her hand, hitting the floor before spinning to a stop.For a moment, nobody moved. Gabriella slowly looked down, her eyes widening as she noticed the blood spreading across the front of her clothes. “Oh, God…”Her knees gave way. “Gabriella!” Alejandro shouted, rushing towards her.The officers caught her before she could hit the floor and carefully lowered her down. Gabriella pressed one trembling hand against he

  • The Return Of The Betrayed Bride    The Wrong Woman in the Chair

    STONE SHIPPING INDUSTRIES ~ NEW YORK CITY Valentina was seated at the head of the conference table, wearing an expensive cream suit. A smug smile spread across her face when she saw Amelia. “Well, well. Look who finally decided to return to work.”Amelia ignored the remark and walked towards the head of the table. “Get out of my chair, Valentina.”Valentina raised an eyebrow. “Excuse me?”“You heard me. Get out of my chair.”A few board members exchanged uncomfortable looks. Valentina, however, remained seated. “I’m afraid you’re confused, Amelia. This is no longer your personal kingdom. We’re holding an important meeting to discuss the future of Stone Shipping, and I happen to be the person being considered for the position of chief executive.”Amelia stopped beside her. “Being considered doesn’t mean you’ve been appointed. Now get out of my chair before I lose my patience.”Valentina slowly stood, laughing under her breath. “Still as arrogant as ever. I suppose prison didn’t teach
