ICU ~ New York

“Understood,” he whispered, eyes closing brief

The next morning, the ICU was quiet except for the rhythmic beeping of monitors. Alexander stirred, blinking against the fluorescent lights.

Vivian was already there, perched on the chair beside his bed, cup of tea in hand.

“Morning, sleepyhead,” she said softly, brushing a strand of hair from his forehead.

He tried to sit up but winced. “My chest… hurts a little.”

Vivian shook her head, taking his hand. “Don’t even think about mov

I hope Alexander stays alive and healthy long enough to see the truth about Vivian exposed. Amelia and Ariana told him the truth and he dismissed them without even trying to investigate it.

  • The Return Of The Betrayed Bride    The Deadly Mistake

    VALERIA'S OFFICE – CONFERENCE ROOM – 9:00 AMThe office was modern and sleek. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked the Manhattan skyline. Valeria sat at the head of the table. Her hair was pulled back. Her suit was sharp. She was ready for battle."Okay," Valeria said, opening a file. "Let's review where we stand. The DA is reviewing the evidence we submitted. If they agree, we file a motion to vacate Amelia's conviction. We need to be prepared for every possible scenario."Daniel nodded. "The recording is our strongest piece of evidence. Marisa admitted to planning the poisoning. Gabriella admitted to framing Amelia. That's huge."Sarah leaned forward, her expression thoughtful. “What about Clara’s testimony? Is it solid enough?”Valeria nodded. “Yes. Clara has agreed to testify in person. She’s currently in witness protection, but she’s willing to come forward when the time comes. Her testimony, combined with the recording, should give us enough evidence to go after Gabriella and Mar

  • The Return Of The Betrayed Bride    From Bride to Fugitive

    FAVINO PRIVATE AIRPORT — 7:15 PMAlejandro walked beside Gabriella through the private terminal, one hand resting protectively against her back. She had cleaned the blood from her face, but her nose was still swollen from Serena’s punch. She looked exhausted, angry, and more than ready to leave everything behind.When they reached the waiting area, Gabriella slowly lowered herself into a chair and rubbed her stomach. “I still can’t believe Serena attacked me on my wedding day,” she complained, looking at Alejandro. “What kind of person does that?”Alejandro’s face remained cold. “Forget Serena. You’ve had enough for one day. You need to rest.”Gabriella studied his face for a moment before reaching for his hand. “Do you really believe me?” she asked quietly.Alejandro looked at her. His expression gave nothing away. “I believe you told me what happened.”Gabriella gave him a small smile and leaned against his shoulder. “I just want to get away from this place.”“We will,” Alejandro s

    “You heard me,” Serena snapped. “You were the last person with Elena, and now she’s dead. Don’t stand there and insult my intelligence by expecting me to believe that she just happened to slip and fall while she was alone with you.”Gabriella folded her arms across her stomach and looked Serena up and down. “I would never hurt Elena. I have no reason to kill her, and unlike you, I’m not going to accuse someone of murder simply because I’m angry.”Serena laughed bitterly. “You expect me to believe that?”“I expect you to believe the truth.” Gabriella’s voice became sharper. “Your sister slipped and fell. I was there when it happened. I tried to help her. I screamed for help, I held her while she stopped breathing, and I have been standing here trying to process what I witnessed. Yet instead of asking me what happened, you walk in here and start calling me a murderer.”Serena’s eyes remained fixed on her. “I don’t trust you. Not even a little. Ever since you came into this household, yo

  • The Return Of The Betrayed Bride    A Neglected Warning

    Everyone turned when Aunt Cordelia entered the bathroom. She walked slowly toward them, her silver hair falling around her shoulders and her eyes moving from Elena’s body to Gabriella. She stopped a few feet away, gripping the rosary in her hand.“This wedding,” Cordelia said quietly. “This marriage… it is cursed.”Gabriella’s face went pale. She instinctively placed a hand over her heavily pregnant stomach. “What are you talking about?” she asked.Cordelia looked at her for a long moment before speaking again. “In our tradition, when death surrounds a wedding like this, it is not something we should ignore. A wedding is supposed to begin with happiness and blessings. But this one began with death.”Alejandro’s expression hardened. “Enough.”Cordelia looked at him. “Alejandro my nephew, listen to me. There are signs that should never be ignored. Your sister died on the day you married this woman. That is not normal.”Alejandro let out a cold laugh. “Not normal? My sister slipped, hit

    SAINT VICTORIA HOSPITAL – NICU – 6:30 PMAmelia was wheeled into the NICU. The room was quiet, filled with the soft beeping of monitors. Tiny babies lay in incubators, connected to tubes and wires. And there, in the corner, was Mateo.Her heart swelled as She slowly got out of the wheelchair and walked to the incubator. Mateo was still small. Still fragile. But he looked stronger. His skin was pinker. His breathing was steadier.Amelia pressed her palm against the glass. "Hello, my little warrior," she whispered. "Mama's here."Mateo's tiny fingers moved. His eyes fluttered open. For a moment, he looked at her.Amelia smiled through her tears. "I love you, Mateo. I love you so much."Ariana stood beside her, tears streaming down her face. Valeria watched from the doorway, her eyes soft. "He's beautiful," Ariana whispered.Amelia nodded. "He's perfect." She stayed there for an hour, just watching him breathe. Just watching him fight.She had lost so much. But she still had him. She sti

  • The Return Of The Betrayed Bride    The Bride’s Deadly Lie

    Gabriella’s face crumpled as she looked at Alejandro. “I don’t know what happened,” she said through her tears. “Elena came into the bathroom to speak to me. We were talking normally, and then she said she was going back downstairs.”Alejandro stared at her. “Then what happened?”“She turned to leave, but she suddenly slipped.”Gabriella pointed toward the bathroom, her voice trembling. “She fell so hard that her head hit the floor. I rushed over to her immediately and tried to wake her, but she wasn’t responding.”Alejandro looked at his sister’s body, his eyes filling with tears. “You’re saying she just fell?”“Yes,” Gabriella whispered. “I swear. One moment she was standing there, and the next she was on the floor.”She wiped her cheeks and continued, “I called her name over and over, but she wouldn’t answer me. I was terrified, Alejandro. I didn’t know what to do.”Alejandro looked down at Elena, his face filled with disbelief and grief. “She was perfectly fine a few minutes ago.”

    “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

    “Touch me. Fuck me. Anything.”He pumped his fingers slowly, thumb brushing her clit on every stroke. “I’m going to do all of it.”His mouth found her neck, sucking hard enough to leave marks as his fingers worked her steadily. She clutched his shoulders, nails digging through his coat. Wet sounds
