ALEXANDER BLACKWOOD PENTHOUSE

Back home, the apartment was quiet except for the soft clink of Vivian’s wine glass against the marble counter.

Golden light from the pendant lamps spilled over the kitchen island, catching the stack of crisp black-and-gold invitation envelopes she’d been sorting.

She looked up as Alexander walked in, shoulders still tense from the dinner with his sons.

“How bad?” she asked, setting the glass down.

“Daniel left before I even finished explaining.

    LANGSTON LEGAL OFFICES – PRIVATE CONFERENCE ROOM – 4:30 PMThe room felt colder after Aurelia walked out. Gerald Langston watched his daughter for a moment, then asked in a softer tone.“How is your husband doing, Sophia? How is Damien?”Sophia’s face changed. She looked away for a second. “He’s… struggling. He’s still asking me to help Amelia. He even suggested I use our lawyers to get her out. He says it’s for Leo.”Mr. Langston raised an eyebrow. “And what did you tell him?”“I told him no, of course,” Sophia replied. “But it’s causing tension. He’s torn between his past with Amelia and his life with me. Sometimes I feel like he still loves her a little.”Her father leaned back in his chair. “That’s dangerous. A man who still has feelings for his ex-wife can be unpredictable. You need to keep him under control.”Sophia sighed. “I know. I’m trying. I told him I’d look into helping her, but only to keep him calm. He’s been distant lately. He even slept in the guest room the other

    FAVINO PENTHOUSE – MASTER BEDROOM – 11:45 PMGabriella looked up at him, eyes dark with lust. “You taste so good,” she whispered, her voice husky, before taking him even deeper. Her mouth was hot and eager, sliding along his length with practiced skill. She hummed around him, the vibration sending jolts of pleasure straight through his body.Alejandro’s head fell back, a low groan escaping his throat. For those minutes, the guilt receded. There was only the wet heat of her mouth, the tight suction, and the sight of her on her knees before him—hair tousled, lips stretched around him.After a few minutes, he pulled her up roughly. He lifted her effortlessly, her legs wrapping around his waist as he carried her to the bed. He laid her down and climbed on top of her, their mouths crashing together in a feverish kiss. His hands explored her body greedily—squeezing her full breasts, pinching and rolling her hardened nipples, then sliding down between her legs.“You’re so wet already,”

    WENT-WORTH CORRECTIONAL CENTRE – VISITATION ROOM – 2:17 PM“No. You’re not.” Rebecca’s voice was firm, cutting through the tension like steel. “You’re going to let the justice system handle her. You’re going to focus on getting out. You’re going to focus on your baby.”“My baby is in here.” Amelia touched her stomach with trembling fingers. “And I’m in here. Locked up. Like an animal.”“Not for long. Sophia’s lawyers are filing a motion tomorrow. I just need to find a way to get myself back on the case.”“You can’t,” Amelia said quietly.Then she lowered her voice to a near whisper, glancing at the guard stationed near the door.“After the hearing, Aurelia met me privately.”Rebecca sat straighter, her pulse quickening. “What happened?”Amelia swallowed hard. “She offered me a deal.”Rebecca’s eyes narrowed. “What kind of deal?”Amelia laughed—a bitter, hollow sound that echoed painfully in the small room. “The kind only monsters make.”Rebecca felt her stomach tighten. “Tell me.”Ame

    FAVINO PENTHOUSE – MASTER BEDROOM – 8:00 PM – THREE DAYS LATERThe master bedroom felt strangely quiet. Gabriella stood in the middle of the room, looking around with a critical eye. She opened her large designer bag and pulled out a soft silk robe, then more clothes, perfume bottles, and expensive jewelry. The bag was overflowing.Clara walked in carrying two more heavy bags. She set them down carefully near the walk-in closet.“Where do you want these, señora?” Clara asked.“By the closet,” Gabriella replied. She looked around the room again, her lips pressed together in disapproval. “This place needs a complete change. The furniture is too dark and old. The curtains are ugly. We’ll redecorate everything. Anything that reminds Alejandro of Amelia has to go. I don’t want him thinking about her when he’s here. I want him to think about me. I want him to depend on me.”Clara nodded and started unpacking the bags. “Yes, señora.”Gabriella walked to the large window and looked out at

    WENT-WORTH CORRECTIONAL FACILITY – VISITING ROOM – 10:00 AMThe room was gray and lifeless, like hope had died there years ago. Cold plastic chairs lined up in rows. A thick glass wall cut the world in half—prisoners on one side, free people on the other. The air smelled of bleach mixed with old tears and desperation.Amelia sat restlessly on her side, wearing that ugly orange jumpsuit. Her hair was pulled back tight, and dark circles hung heavy under her eyes. She looked exhausted and a bit Broken. She hadn’t slept more than a few hours since they locked her up.The heavy door on the other side buzzed open.Rebecca Stein walked in with her heels clicking sharply against the floor, sharp black suit, hair flawless. She looked powerful, like she still belonged to the outside world.She sat down, grabbed the phone, and stared at Amelia through the glass.Amelia picked up her receiver with cuffed hands.“You look terrible,” Rebecca said softly.Amelia gave a weak smile. “Thanks. You l

    Gabriella didn't leave. She stepped even closer."I know you miss your wife. I know it's always been her. I'm not trying to compete with Amelia. But I want to be here for you during this hard time. I talked to her, Alejandro. I visited her in jail. She gave me her blessing to take care of you and Leo while she's gone."Alejandro laughed, but there was no joy in it. "You're lying. Amelia would never say that.""She did." Gabriella's voice stayed calm. "She knows she might be in prison for a long time. She wants Leo to have a steady home. And your mother… she also gave me her blessing. She wants you to have help."Alejandro's face turned red. "I don't need your fake sorry or your lies. Get out of my house. You're the reason Amelia and I had problems. You're the reason everything fell apart. Leave!"Gabriella stood her ground. "No."Alejandro stepped closer, shouting. "I said get out! You're underestimating me. You ruined my life. You ruined my marriage. How do you think Amelia will

    “It’s… it’s Mr. Favino, ma’am.” The voice on the line hesitated.“Photos. Of Mr. Favino. With another woman. In New York.”The world seemed to tip sideways. Amelia closed her eyes.“Send everything again,” she said, voice calm too calm. “And clear my schedule.”“Yes, ma’am.”The line clicked dead.
