เข้าสู่ระบบElena ignored her. “Amelia is nothing but a manipulative liar,” she said coldly. “She used Alejandro from the beginning.”Serena frowned. “Elena—”“She trapped him with a pregnancy that wasn’t even his,” Elena continued, her voice filled with disgust. “And now she’s trying to pull him back in with another baby.”She shook her head. “It’s pathetic. She knows Alejandro is moving on, so now she wants to use the baby to drag him back into her mess.”Serena’s eyes narrowed. “You people really hear yourselves, right?”Elena glared at her.“What is that supposed to mean?”Serena slowly set down her glass.“It means a woman just lost her daughter.”Serena’s voice became firm as she looked around the room.“And while her other baby is fighting for his life in the hospital, we’re sitting here calling her pathetic. Maybe, just maybe, we should stop celebrating her pain for five minutes and remember that she’s still a human being.”Alejandro immediately nodded, his expression becoming serious.“She
Amelia looked up, confused. “Yes?”The nurse glanced at Dr. Patel before giving Amelia a small smile. “There’s no need to worry about the hospital bills anymore.”Amelia blinked. “What?”The nurse checked the file in her hands. “Your bills have been paid. All of them.”Dr. Patel’s eyebrows lifted in surprise. “What do you mean they’ve been paid?”“The entire balance,” the nurse explained. “The emergency procedure, the NICU treatment, and your son’s medical care. Everything has been covered.”Amelia stared at her in disbelief. “But… how?”The nurse shook her head. “I’m not sure. The payment was made anonymously.”Amelia’s eyes widened. “Anonymously?”“Yes, ma’am. The hospital received the payment a short while ago. Your account has been marked as fully paid.”Amelia slowly sank back against her pillows, completely stunned. “A benefactor…” she whispered.Dr. Patel looked at the nurse, then back at Amelia. “Someone paid three thousand dollars for your son’s treatment?”The nurse nodded.
Serena blinked innocently and pressed a hand to her chest. "Rude? Me?""Yes, you!" Elena threw her hands up. "You've been taking jabs at Gabriella all night."Serena lounged back, crossing her legs. "I congratulated her. If she heard something else, that's not my problem."Gabriella's eyes narrowed. "If you have something to say, just say it."Serena turned slowly. "Oh, trust me. I have plenty."Alejandro shot her a warning look. "Serena."She raised her hands. "What? I'm sitting here quietly.""You haven't been quiet for five minutes," Elena muttered.Serena ignored her and locked eyes with Gabriella. "You want to know why I have a problem with you?""Yes."Serena tilted her head. "Fine. You walked into my brother's life, Amelia disappeared, and suddenly you're pregnant, planning a wedding, and everyone's supposed to act like this is a fairy tale."Gabriella's face hardened. "I didn't make Alejandro leave her."Serena scoffed. "Of course not. He just magically changed his entire life
ALEJANDRO’S PENTHOUSE — LIVING ROOM — EVENINGThe penthouse was full of activity. Candles flickered around the room, filling the living room with a warm, golden glow.Alejandro sat on the leather sofa with one arm resting along the back. Gabriella sat beside him, one hand resting protectively on her belly. She looked extremely pleased with herself.She wore an elegant ivory silk dress, and her dark hair was perfectly styled.Across from them sat Alejandro’s mother, Marisa, and his sisters, Elena and Serena. Marisa looked elegant in her navy silk dress, while Elena sat beside her with a calm, unreadable expression.Serena, however, wasn’t even trying to hide her annoyance.Gabriella clapped her hands excitedly. “Alright, everyone! We only have three days until the wedding, and there’s still so much to do. I made a list.”Serena rolled her eyes. “Of course you did. I’m surprised you didn’t make a spreadsheet too.”Gabriella’s smile tightened. “I just want everything to be perfect.”“Cle

Amelia's heart leaped. "Alejandro! Thank God. I need to talk to you. It's important."Alejandro's voice was flat and cold. "What do you want, Amelia? I don't have time for your games."Amelia's voice cracked. "It's not a game, Alejandro. I'm in the hospital. I lost one of my babies. She was stillborn. But the other one our son he's alive. He's in an incubator. He has a lung infection. He's fighting for his life."Alejandro was silent for a moment. Then he spoke, his voice emotionless. "So you had twins. And one died. And the other is sick. That's unfortunate."Amelia's voice rose. "Unfortunate? That's all you have to say? Our daughter is dead, Alejandro! Our son is fighting for his life! And you're acting like it doesn't even matter?!"Alejandro's voice was cold. "What do you expect me to say, Amelia? You made it very clear that you don't want me in your life. You removed me as Leo's guardian. You told me you never wanted to see me again. So why should I care about this baby?"Amelia'
Marisa jabbed a finger at Amelia. “Yes. You.”The room went quiet.Alejandro tensed. “Mother, don’t.”“No,” Marisa said, her voice cold. “You don’t get to shield her. Let me speak.”She stepped closer to Amelia. “You show up here… and suddenly the Guerras strike. You have ties to the Blackwoods. To
THE FAVINO ESTATE — LATE MORNINGThe house felt different after Marisa left.Amelia noticed it first.The servants moved softly, avoiding eye contact. Phones were kept on silent. Even the sunlight pouring through the tall windows felt restrained, like it didn’t want to interrupt whatever storm was
VIVIAN OFFICE~ NEW YORK Then she saw Mia’s expression puzzled, a little worried, waiting for her boss to recognize her own approval. Vivian’s survival instinct kicked in, cold and swift. She could not let Mia know.She forced a weak, dismissive laugh and rubbed her temple. “Oh, for heaven’s sake.
“You didn’t mess up anything,” Serena said.Elena added, “Gabriella did. She insulted the host’s guest at the dinner table. That’s suicide in this family.”Amelia sighed. “I didn’t tear anything apart. Gabriella did that by herself. All I did was not collapse.”Elena’s eyes softened. “And that’s wh
