Amelia’s face went pale. “Alejandro?” she whispered, her voice shaking. “No… he wouldn’t do this…”

Ariana turned to her, wide-eyed. “Wait Alejandro? Miguel’s brother? The same man who claimed you as his fiancée? Amelia, what the hell is going on?”

At that moment, a cry pierced through the tension.

“Mommy!”

Everyone turned toward the staircase.

Little Leo, in his pajamas, was standing there with tears in his eyes, clutching his stuffed bunny. The nanny, Eloise, ran behind him, trying to hold him

  • The Return Of The Betrayed Bride    Elena Castillo’s Rules

    Ariana opened her mouth, but Elena raised one finger, stopping her.“So, whether you like it or not, legally, he is still your husband.”Ariana’s face tightened.Elena picked up her pen again and tapped it against the table. “You can call yourself whatever you want socially, but the court is going to look at the legal documents. And according to those documents, Daniel Blackwood is still your husband.”Marco shifted uncomfortably beside Ariana.Elena glanced at him. “And before you start defending her again, remember that I’m trying to help her. Making excuses won’t get Aiden back. Facts will.”Ariana's eyes filled with tears. "I know. That's why I'm here. That's why I need your help. I'll do anything. I'll pay anything. Just please, help me get my son back."Elena studied Ariana for a long moment, her eyes unreadable. She slowly tapped her pen against the table, her expression cold and calculating.“Tell me, Mrs. Martino,” Elena said, “do you have any idea how much this is going to c

  • The Return Of The Betrayed Bride    The Lawyer From Hell

    ELENA CASTILLO’s OFFICE — CONFERENCE ROOM — AFTERNOONThe office was sleek and modern, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city skyline.Ariana sat at the conference table, her hands clasped tightly in her lap. She was nervous, her heart pounding in her chest. Her palms were sweaty. Her mouth was dry. Beside her sat Marco, his leg still bandaged, his arm in a sling. He had insisted on coming with her, and she was grateful for his support.Across from them sat Elena Rossi, a sharp-faced woman in her forties with cold eyes and a predatory smile. Elena Castillo sat across from Ariana, looking completely unimpressed.She was dressed in an expensive black pantsuit, her hair pulled back into a tight, severe bun. A gold watch rested on her wrist, and her manicured fingers tapped an expensive pen against the table with growing impatience.She glanced at Ariana as if she were already tired of dealing with her. “So,” Elena said flatly, flipping through the papers in front of her. “

    Elena 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

  • The Return Of The Betrayed Bride    The Family Dinner From Hell

    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

    “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
