ALEXANDER'S MANSION - LATER THAT NIGHT

The heavy oak door slammed behind him, echoing through the mansion like a gunshot. Alexander Blackwood froze in the foyer, gripping his car keys so tightly his knuckles turned white.

The drive home had been a blur. Amelia’s words kept replaying in his head: “She put a sniper on my son.”

“Alexander? Is that you?”

Vivian’s voice floated from the library. She appeared in the doorway, a silk robe tied over her nightgown, a book in hand. Calm. Elegant. Smiling.

    Gabriella broke down, desperately reaching for him, but he stepped away.Marisa turned toward her son.“Alejandro, don’t speak to your wife like that!”He swung around, his face twisted with fury. “Will you shut your pathetic mouth, Mother? You’re a deranged, controlling psycho! Now I understand why Miguel kept his wife away from you for years. He knew exactly what kind of woman you were!”Marisa’s expression faltered. “You have just been sentenced to ten years in prison, and you’re still trying to control everyone around you! You framed Amelia, destroyed my marriage, and ruined lives because you couldn’t stand the thought of not having your way. And you still think you have the right to lecture me?”“I did everything for this family!” Marisa protested.“No. You did everything for yourself!”The words silenced her. For the first time, Marisa seemed to understand that she had lost more than her freedom. She had lost her son’s trust, and no amount of shouting could force him to give it b

    BLACKWOOD MANSION ~ NEW YORK CITY For several seconds, the room fell silent. Daniel stared at her. “What?”“You heard me,” Catalina replied. “Since my sons have failed to give us grandchildren who aren’t caught up in the consequences of their parents’ terrible decisions, we’ve decided to take matters into our own hands.”Damien burst out laughing. “Father, you’re seventy-two. Are you sure you’re ready for midnight feedings and dirty diapers? Because I can barely imagine you waking up before eight to change a nappy.”Alexander shot him a warning look. “Your mother and I will manage.”“Of course you will.” Damien nodded solemnly. “I’ll start looking for a retirement-friendly baby monitor. Something that alerts you when the child cries and reminds you to take your medication.”“Damien!” Catalina snapped, though she struggled to hide her amusement.“What? I’m being supportive. Every family needs a reliable backup plan.”“Both of you are insane,” Daniel muttered, rubbing his forehead. “Fi

    “Or what? You’ll have me arrested too? Forge my signature and send me to prison?” He stepped closer, his eyes burning with hatred. “You’ve spent your entire life acting like a queen, but now everyone can see what you really are: a bitter old woman who would rather destroy her own family than admit she’s wrong!”Marisa opened her mouth, but Alejandro cut her off.“Save your breath. I’ve heard enough of your poison to last a lifetime. You can spend the rest of your life screaming at prison walls, blaming everyone else for your misery, and wondering why nobody gives a damn about you. You earned every second of it!”Alejandro turned away from his mother, his chest rising and falling with anger. “And when you finally realize your own son wants nothing to do with you, remember this: you didn’t lose your family because of Amelia. You lost us because you’re a wicked, selfish woman who never deserved the love we gave you!”“Enough, Mr. Alejandro Favino!” Judge Morrison barked, striking his gav

    A few people in the courtroom struggled to hide their reactions.Alejandro turned toward her, but Amelia refused to look at him. Judge Morrison struck his gavel. “Mr.Favino, control yourself. You will speak when the court permits it.”Alejandro sank back into his chair, his face burning with shock and humiliation.Valeria folded her arms and faced Marisa again. “Why did you hate Amelia so much that you were willing to send her to prison for six months? She gave birth while imprisoned, lost one of her children, and now the other is fighting for his life. Was your hatred worth all that suffering?”Marisa gave a humorless laugh. “Because she was an American whore who thought she could walk into my family, spread her legs for my son, and become the mistress of the Favino household!”The courtroom erupted in shocked whispers.Amelia slowly lifted her head, her eyes cold.“Your Honor,” Valeria said, raising her voice, “I would like the record to reflect the witness’s attitude toward the wom

    “That devil incarnate tried to kill me!” Clara cried, pointing straight at Gabriella.The courtroom burst into whispers. Several people turned toward Gabriella, who jumped to her feet with a furious look. “You’re lying!” she screamed. “You’re making up stories because you want to save yourself!”Judge Morrison slammed his gavel. “Sit down, Mrs. Favino! This is a courtroom, not your living room. If you interrupt the witness again, I’ll have you removed!”Gabriella dropped into her chair, muttering angrily under her breath.Clara took a deep breath and continued. “Gabriella paid me fifty thousand dollars to leave the country and go to Greece. She even booked an Uber to take me to the airport. Before I left, she warned me never to contact anyone connected to the Favino family again.”Valeria leaned forward, watching Clara carefully. “Why did you agree to leave? Were you afraid of what Gabriella might do if you stayed?”“I was terrified. I knew too much, and after what happened to Amelia,

    Daniel let out a bitter laugh but dropped back into his chair. “There. Are you happy now, Father? I’ve sat down. Would you like me to apologize for embarrassing the family next?”Alexander’s expression darkened. “I would like you to stop behaving like a spoiled child who believes money can buy his way out of every problem.”“Money has solved every problem I’ve ever had,” Daniel snapped. “The only difference this time is that Ariana found a lawyer who knows how to play dirty.”Damien shook his head. “You really are hopeless.”Daniel pointed at him. “One more word, and I’ll make sure you regret it.”“Daniel!” Alexander’s voice thundered across the room. “Your brother is telling you what everyone else is too afraid to say. You lost custody because you gave the court reasons to take your son away. You paid a witness to lie, and now you’re angry because the truth came out.”Daniel’s jaw tightened. “So you’re taking their side now?”“I’m taking the side of common sense.”Catalina, who had r
