BLACKWOOD MANSION – 9:00 PM

The mansion looked nothing like home. It looked like a command center.

Security guards rushed back and forth. Computer screens covered the walls. Maps, camera feeds, phone records everything flashing at once.

Damien walked in fast, jaw tight.

Daniel was standing near the center of the room, phone in hand. Ariana stood beside him, pale but holding herself together.

“Brother,” Damien said, stepping forward and offering his hand.

Daniel shook it firmly. “Thank you for c

    “I would throw you out in a fucking heartbeat without thinking twice!” Daniel snapped. “Do you want to know the only reason I’m even entertaining this nonsense? Because you’re the mother of my children! And because Catalina and Camilla deserve to know their mother is receiving treatment instead of finding out one day that she died without anyone trying to help her.”Katherina’s lips parted, but Daniel continued before she could respond.“I’m doing this for the children, not because I suddenly give a damn about you. So, since you keep throwing that cancer diagnosis in our faces, answer me something. What kind of cancer do you have again? And what stage is it?”Katherina blinked rapidly. “I-I already told you that I have—”“You told us you have cancer,” Daniel interrupted. “That’s not an answer. What type? What stage? What treatment has your doctor recommended? You want thirty million naira, a private bedroom, a driver, and a nanny, but you can’t even give us a straight answer about the

    Alexander turned away, coughing suspiciously into his fist.Katherina shot to her feet. “Excuse me? Who the hell said I was going to seduce you?”“I’m establishing boundaries,” Daniel replied calmly. “I’d rather not wake up at two in the morning to find you wearing sexy lingerie, standing beside my bed, and reminding me that we have children together.”Catalina lost the battle and burst into laughter. “Daniel, you have clearly thought about this in great detail!”“I’m being prepared.”“Prepared?” Katherina shrieked. “You arrogant, self-important bastard! I’d rather seduce a lamppost!”“Good,” Daniel said. “A lamppost won’t misunderstand our relationship.”Catalina doubled over laughing while Alexander shook his head, no longer bothering to hide his smile. Katherina looked around the room, furious that nobody was taking her outrage seriously. “You people are unbelievable!”Daniel ignored the complaints and pushed the agreement toward her. “Those are my terms. Do you agree to them?”Kat

    ALEXANDER BLACKWOOD FAMILY MANSION ~ Catalina covered her mouth, though the smile on her face made it clear she wasn’t particularly sorry. “Oh, Katherina, that was quite a performance,” she said. “You disappeared for three years, came back with a medical report, and somehow turned a family meeting into a battlefield. And now Damien has walked out.”Katherina shot her an angry look. “What the hell is so funny?”Catalina’s smile faded slightly as she met her glare. “Nothing. I just think you should stop making everything worse for yourself. If you’re really sick, then deal with it properly instead of throwing things at people who refuse to believe you.”“Then stop making it everyone’s business,” Catalina replied, folding her arms. “You disappeared for three years, came back with a medical report, and suddenly expect everyone to hand over thirty million naira without asking questions. Do you honestly think we’re that foolish?”Katherina’s face tightened. “Catalina, mind your business.”

    She spread her arms, gesturing toward Sofia, who stood behind him wearing the ring on her finger. “Your pregnant wife is standing right in front of you, watching you kiss her best friend like you couldn’t wait to get your hands on her, and you’re whining about a few clothes on the floor? What the hell is wrong with you? Have you completely lost whatever little decency you had left?”“My pregnant wife?” Alejandro repeated, his voice dropping into a dangerously quiet tone. “You seem to remember that title whenever it suits you.”Gabriella went still, her anger momentarily giving way to disbelief. Then her face hardened. “Don’t you dare use my pregnancy against me, you spineless bastard.” Her voice shook, but she didn’t lower it. “You want to humiliate me? Fine. You want to parade your mistress around my home? Go ahead. But don’t stand there pretending you’re the victim because I refuse to smile while you make a fool of me.”Alejandro’s expression turned cold. “Have you finished running

    ALEJANDRO FAVINO MANSION ~ NEW YORK CITYSofia rose onto her toes and pressed her lips against Alejandro’s. Gabriella froze. For a moment, she forgot how to breathe. Sofia slid her fingers into Alejandro’s hair while he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer. He didn’t hesitate or try to push her away. Instead, he kissed her back as though there was nothing wrong with what they were doing.They looked so comfortable together that Gabriella felt sick. This wasn’t an awkward mistake or a kiss Sofia had stolen without his permission. Alejandro was holding her willingly, and Sofia was kissing him with the confidence of a woman who knew she had every right to be there.Gabriella’s bags slipped from her hands and crashed onto the marble floor. Her purse fell open, sending her keys scattering across the tiles, while her phone slid beneath the coffee table.She barely noticed.Her hands flew to her pregnant belly as she stared at the two people she had trusted most. One was th

    OUTSIDE THE COURTROOM ~ NEW YORK CITY Ariana burst out laughing. “Oh, my God! She’s lost the plot. Someone call a doctor before she starts showing us her underwear too!”“SHUT UP!” Valentina shrieked before pointing a trembling finger at Amelia. “The board members are on my side. I’ve built relationships with them, and they know how much work I’ve done. You can’t just walk back in here after six months and expect everyone to bow down to you!”Amelia’s expression darkened. “You stole ten million dollars, and now you’re bragging about it?”“I’m giving you five hours to come back to your senses!” Valentina continued, completely ignoring her. “Five hours to reconsider your decision and renegotiate the terms. You can become assistant manager, then work your way back up to manager if you prove yourself!”For several seconds, Amelia simply stared at her.Then she screamed, “YOU WANT TO NEGOTIATE MY OWN FUCKING COMPANY WITH ME?”Valentina flinched.“I’ve just been released from prison!” Amel

    Alexander swallowed hard, trying to hold his ground. “This isn’t fair—”Vivian’s eyes glistened as she stepped closer, her voice low and shaky but filled with desire.“Fair?” she whispered. “I’ve been patient, Alex. I’ve stayed quiet while you buried yourself in guilt over her. It’s been three day
