NICHOLAS PENTHOUSE ~ NEW YORK

Nicholas stood at his penthouse window, watching the city lights blur through the rain. His phone felt heavy in his hand.

He’d been staring at Amelia’s contact for ten minutes, knowing this conversation would change everything.

Finally, he pressed call.

She answered on the first ring. “This better be important.”

“Katherina told them,” Nicholas said without greeting. “Alexander and Vivian. They know everything about Stone Holdings, about Cortex, about our arrangem

  • The Return Of The Betrayed Bride    The Wolf In the Hospital

    DOWNTOWN MEDICAL CENTER – MARISA’S ROOM – 2:00 PMThe hospital room was quiet except for the steady beeping of machines. Sunlight filtered through the half-closed blinds, casting soft lines across the white sheets. Marisa Favino lay in the bed, still pale and weak, but her eyes were sharp and alert. Her hands rested on the blanket, thin and trembling slightly.Alejandro sat beside her, holding her hand gently. His face looked gray from lack of sleep and stress. Elena stood by the window with her arms crossed, watching everything. Serena sat nervously in the corner, folding and unfolding a napkin in her lap.The door opened.Catalina walked in wearing an elegant black dress, diamond earrings sparkling, and bright red lipstick. She looked more like she was attending a gala than visiting a sick woman. Her husband Alexander followed quietly behind her, looking pale and uncomfortable.“Mrs. Favino,” Catalina said in a sweet, concerned voice. She placed a large bouquet of white lilie

    STATION VISITATION ROOM – 5:00 PMThe visitation room was small and depressing. A thick glass wall separated the prisoners from their visitors. The lights were too bright, and the air smelled of sweat and desperation. Amelia sat on a hard plastic chair, her wrists still raw from the handcuffs. Her designer blouse was wrinkled, and her hair was messy. She looked nothing like the powerful woman the world knew.The door on the other side opened. Alejandro walked in.Amelia’s heart jumped. She stood up quickly, pressing her hands against the glass.“Alex!” she cried, her voice full of hope. “Thank God you’re here. I’ve been waiting for you.”Alejandro sat down slowly on the other side. His face was cold and tired. Dark circles sat under his eyes. He looked like he hadn’t slept in days.Amelia spoke fast, the words tumbling out. “Your mother woke up, Alex. She believes me. She looked me in the eyes and said she knows I didn’t poison her. She told me to find the real person who did thi

    POLICE STATION – INTERROGATION ROOM – 2:30 PMThe interrogation room was freezing cold. The air felt like ice against Amelia’s skin. She sat at the metal table, wrists still cuffed tightly behind her back. Her expensive designer clothes looked ridiculous and out of place under the harsh fluorescent lights that buzzed loudly above her head. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying. She hadn’t slept properly in days.Detective Ruiz slammed a thick folder onto the table with a loud bang that made her jump.“Let’s go over this again, Mrs. Favino,” he said sharply, his voice echoing off the walls. “Text message from your phone threatening Marisa. Clara saw you in the kitchen. You fought with your mother-in-law earlier that day. Motive. Means. Opportunity. Start talking. Now.”Amelia looked up, her voice tired but still defiant. “I did not send that text. Someone is framing me. Clara is lying. She’s the one who served the tea. She should be sitting here, not me.”Detective Morales lean

    Valentina looked straight at her. “I remember the way you smiled when I drank that tea. You said it was good for the baby. You lied to my face. You murdered my child.”The room fell silent except for the beeping machines.Alejandro ran a hand through his hair. “This can’t be happening. I have my mother fighting for her life upstairs, and now this war between you three.”Amelia stepped closer to him. “Choose, Alejandro. Choose right now. Are you with me, or are you going to keep believing I’m the villain while the real one stands right here?”Katherina looked at him with pleading eyes. “Alejandro, please. You know me. I’m not a killer.”Valentina whispered weakly, “She is. She took everything from me.”Alejandro looked at all three sisters broken, bleeding, and full of hate. His shoulders dropped.“I don’t know who to believe anymore,” he said quietly. “But I can’t do this. Not right now. My mother needs me. Valentina needs rest. And you three… you’re destroying each other.”He turned

    HOSPITAL HALLWAY – 30 MINUTES LATERAmelia stood alone in the now-quiet hospital hallway, her back against the cold wall. Her lip was still bleeding from where Katherina had slapped her. She pressed a tissue to it, staring at the floor. The security guards had taken Katherina downstairs, but the echo of their screaming still rang in her ears.Her phone buzzed. Alejandro.She answered immediately, voice shaking. “Alex… you need to come to the hospital right now.”There was a pause on the other end. “What happened? Is it my mother?”“No. It’s Valentina. She lost the baby. And… it’s so much worse than that.”“I’m on my way,” Alejandro said. His voice was tired but concerned. “Don’t do anything stupid until I get there.”Twenty minutes later, Alejandro stormed out of the elevator. He looked exhausted dark circles under his eyes, shirt wrinkled from staying at his mother’s bedside. When he saw Amelia’s swollen lip and tear-stained face, he stopped short.“What the hell happened to you

    HOSPITAL HALLWAY – SAME TIMEAmelia stood frozen outside the glass window of Valentina’s room, her hands pressed against the cold surface. Inside, her sister lay motionless in the bed, hooked up to machines that beeped steadily. Valentina’s face was pale and swollen from crying. Amelia’s own hands were shaking so badly she could barely keep them still.The door opened quietly. A nurse stepped out, her face tired and serious.“She’s sedated now,” the nurse said softly. “She’ll sleep for the next few hours. We had to give her something strong. She was hysterical.”Amelia swallowed hard. “What… what happened in there? Why was she screaming?”The nurse hesitated, then lowered her voice. “She kept saying her sister poisoned her. That her sister killed the baby. She screamed the name over and over Katherina. She was throwing things, ripping out her IV. We’ve never seen a patient so… broken and angry at the same time.”Amelia’s face drained of all color. The hallway seemed to tilt. “Kat

    “Yes.”“You wanted revenge,” Sofia continued smoothly. “You wanted him to suffer for choosing Amelia. This is what real revenge looks like. It’s not tears. It’s not shouting. It’s strategy.”Gabriella swallowed. “And it will work?”“Oh, it will work,” Sofia said calmly. “But once we start, there’s
