“Do you, Daniel Elan Blackwood, take Ariana Maria Flores to be your lawfully wedded wife?”

“I do.” Daniel’s voice was clear and strong.

“And do you, Ariana Maria Flores, take Daniel Elan Blackwood to be your lawfully wedded husband?”

“I do.” Ariana’s voice shook with emotion.

“Then by the power vested in me by the state of New York, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.”

Daniel handed baby Martino to his mother, who had appeared beside the altar, then turned to Ariana an

  • The Return Of The Betrayed Bride    Empire in Flames

    NEW YORK CITY COURTHOUSE – OUTSIDE – 2:00 PMDaniel Blackwood sat in his car outside the courthouse, gripping the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles turned white. His jaw was clenched, and his eyes remained fixed on the dashboard. He had been sitting there for twenty minutes, unable to accept what had happened.He had lost custody of Aiden. He had lost the case, his reputation, and the right to see his own son until he completed a psychological evaluation and anger-management program. And all because of Ariana and that damn lawyer, Elena Castillo.“Fuck you, Elena,” he muttered, slamming his palm against the steering wheel. “You haven’t heard the last of me.”His phone rang, but he ignored it. When it rang again, he groaned in frustration and glanced at the screen. It was Marcus Webb, one of his business partners. Daniel almost declined the call, but he answered at the last second. “What?” he snapped.“Daniel, we need to talk,” Marcus said coldly.“I’m not in the mood for a

    Marco hesitated, and the silence that followed made Alejandro’s stomach tighten. “Elena is alive.”Alejandro froze. For several seconds, he couldn’t speak, think, or even breathe properly. Elena was dead. Everyone had told him she was dead. So how could she possibly be alive? “What did you just say?” he demanded.“Elena is alive,” Marco repeated. “She was found twitching in the morgue. Someone noticed she was still showing signs of life, so they rushed her back to the hospital. The doctors stabilized her, but she suffered a severe head injury. She’s in a coma.”Alejandro’s mouth fell open. “Elena is alive?”“Yes, but the doctors don’t know when she’ll wake up. They can’t even promise that she will.”His fingers tightened around the phone. His eyes burned as tears gathered in them. His little sister had nearly been buried alive, and he hadn’t even been there. “Why the hell didn’t anyone tell me earlier?” he demanded. “How long has she been in the hospital?”“The situation has been cha

    REDWOOD STATE PRISON FOR WOMEN ~ 5pmGabriella’s relief vanished instantly. “What?”The officers moved toward her, making her step backward in alarm. “Wait! Governor Patricia, I think you’ve misunderstood me. I wasn’t refusing to cooperate. I was only asking for a clean uniform!”“I understood you perfectly,” Patricia replied coldly. “You refused to put on the uniform and started arguing with my officers. Secure her so they can dress her and take her back to her cell.”Gabriella stared at her in disbelief. “You’re seriously going to handcuff me to a pole because I don’t want to wear that filthy jumpsuit?”“It’s not a punishment,” Patricia said calmly. “It’s the only way the officers can dress you without you fighting them. If you cooperate, this will be over quickly.”“I can dress myself!” Gabriella snapped, looking at the officers approaching her. “Just give me a clean uniform, and I’ll put it on!”“Mrs. Favino, stop resisting,” one officer warned.“I’m not resisting! I’m making a re

    Alejandro stood on the tarmac, staring at the empty stretch of road where the police vehicle had disappeared. He could still hear Gabriella’s angry voice in his head, protesting as the officers dragged her away. He had watched them arrest his wife, but he still couldn’t understand how it had happened.He ran a hand through his hair and let out a frustrated breath. Their honeymoon was over, and Gabriella was now in police custody. How had the police found her? Who had told them she was at the airport?“Mr. Favino?” one of his associates called cautiously.Alejandro turned. The young man stood a few feet away, looking nervous. “Should I arrange transportation home?”“Home?” Alejandro repeated, his voice rising. “My wife has just been arrested, and you’re asking me about going home?”“I’m sorry, sir. I was only asking—”“Then answer something useful!” Alejandro snapped. “How did the police find her? Who gave them the information? And how did they get an arrest warrant without anyone war

    OUTSIDE THE COURTROOM ~ 5:00PmElena swallowed hard, her eyes filling with guilt. “Yes. I’m carrying his child.”Ariana took a step backward as if the words had physically pushed her away. She stared at Elena in complete shock, struggling to process everything at once. “No… No, this can’t be true. You were working for Daniel all along?”“Elena, please—”“You were his lawyer?” Ariana’s voice rose as tears filled her eyes. “You were supposed to be fighting for me, but you were secretly working for the man who was trying to take my son away from me?”Elena lowered her head. “Ariana, I know how this looks.”“How it looks?” Ariana let out a shaky laugh, wiping her tears with the back of her hand. “You’re pregnant with Daniel’s baby! You were his lawyer, you were his lover, and you stood beside me in that courtroom pretending you were on my side!”Elena stepped closer. “I was on your side today.”Ariana immediately stepped back, her face filled with hurt. “Today? What about before today? Ho

    The officer wrote down her name and moved to the next question. “Date of birth?”Gabriella gave it reluctantly, clearly irritated that she had to answer such basic questions.The officer continued. “Any medical conditions?”Gabriella rolled her eyes. “Yes. I’m pregnant. Four months pregnant. And I’m surrounded by incompetence.”The officer ignored the insult and continued filling out the form. “We’ll do a full medical evaluation later. Now, take off your clothes.”Gabriella’s eyes widened. “Excuse me?”“You heard me. Strip. Full-body search. Standard procedure.”Gabriella immediately crossed her arms over her chest. “Absolutely not. I am not taking my clothes off in front of you people.”The officer stood and walked around the desk. “You don’t have a choice. You can do it yourself, or we can assist you.”Gabriella looked toward the other officers in the room. There were three of them. All women. All large. All staring at her with the kind of expression that made it clear they were not
