"He peed his pants."

Amelia blinked. "What?"

"He grabbed my arm. I threatened him. He let go. And then he realized he'd wet himself like a frightened old man."

Amelia was silent for a moment.

Then she laughed. It was tired, but real.

"You're serious?"

"I never joke about bodily functions, Amelia. It's unprofessional."

Amelia shook her head. "What happens now?"

"Now we wait. Forty-e

    ALEJANDRO'S PENTHOUSE — LIVING ROOM — EVENINGAlejandro burst through the front door of his penthouse like a hurricane. His suit was wrinkled, his tie was hanging loose, and his eyes were still red and swollen from crying. But underneath all that pain, there was something else now—anger. Pure, burning fury.Gabriella was lounging on the sofa in a flowing silk gown, a glass of wine in her hand and a smug smile on her face. The moment she saw him, her expression shifted to one of concern, but Alejandro wasn't fooled. Not anymore."Alejandro!" she exclaimed, rising to her feet. "My love, what happened? You look terrible. What did she say to you?"Alejandro ignored her completely. He walked straight past her and stood in the middle of the living room, his chest heaving with anger."Don't," he said, his voice low and dangerous. "Don't you dare pretend to care about me right now, Gabriella. Don't you dare act like you're worried about me."Gabriella's eyes widened with feigned innocence

    LANGSTON MANSION – INSIDE – NEW YORK CITYThe front door flew open with a loud bang.Damien stormed into the mansion, his face dark with anger. His expensive dress shoes struck the marble floor with hard, heavy steps that echoed through the house.His hands wouldn’t stop shaking.No matter how hard he tried, he could still smell it.Blood.Death.That horrible smell from the box refused to leave him.“Damn it!”He ripped off his suit jacket and threw it across the room. It landed on the polished floor in a crumpled heap, but he didn’t even look at it.His chest rose and fell with every angry breath.“Marcus!” he roared.His voice echoed through the mansion. “Marcus! Get in here. Now!”Within seconds, Marcus hurried into the foyer.The head bodyguard looked almost as shaken as Damien. His face had lost its color, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead. Even now, the horrifying scene outside the gate replayed in his mind.He swallowed hard.“Yes, sir,” he said, trying to keep hi

    Amelia let out a broken laugh. Tears streamed down her face as she stared at him.“You love me?” she asked, shaking her head. “You actually have the nerve to stand there and tell me you love me?”Her voice rose with every word. “Where were you, Alejandro?”He opened his mouth, but she didn’t let him speak.“Where were you when the police arrested me? Where were you when they dragged me away from our son?”Another tear rolled down her cheek.“Where were you when I spent three months locked up in that prison? Alone. Scared. Crying myself to sleep every night.”Alejandro’s eyes filled with guilt. “Amelia… I didn’t know.”“You didn’t know?” she repeated bitterly.“I swear. I didn’t know where they had taken you.” His voice cracked. “Gabriella told me you had been transferred to another prison. She told me you refused to see me. She said you wanted nothing to do with me.”He shook his head. “She lied to me, Amelia. She lied about everything.”Amelia laughed again, but there was no humor i

A correctional officer stopped outside her cell “Amelia stone.”Amelia didn’t bother looking up. “What now?”“You have a visitor.”She rolled her eyes. “Good for them.”The guard frowned. “Your husband is here to see you.”That made her laugh. A cold, bitter laugh.Slowly, she lifted her head. “My husband?”The words dripped with sarcasm. “Last time I checked, I don’t have a husband anymore.”The guard remained silent.Amelia shook her head and leaned back against the wall.“So whoever is
