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!"

Daniel's heart started to pound. He pulled out his phone and call

    “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

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

    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

    The knife trembled in Gabriella’s hand as she backed away from the two police officers. “STAY THE FUCK BACK!”Both officers stopped, keeping their eyes on the blade. Gabriella’s chest rose and fell rapidly. Tears streamed down her cheeks, and her trembling fingers struggled to maintain their grip.Alejandro stood in front of Sofia, one arm stretched protectively across her. “Put the knife down, Gabriella,” he ordered coldly.She laughed bitterly. “Now you’re worried about me? After everything you’ve done?”“I’m not going to repeat myself.”“Why? So you can send me back to that miserable guest room while your precious Sofia enjoys my bedroom?” She pointed the knife toward them. “You’ve taken my marriage, my home, my friends and my dignity. What else do you want?”Sofia folded her arms, looking at her with open disgust. “Can you stop acting like the whole world owes you something? You’re standing there with a knife because Alejandro doesn’t want you anymore. Have you completely lost you
