FAVINO PENTHOUSE ~ NEW YORK

Amelia leaned against the wall, her legs shaking “Alejandro… they took our baby.”

His voice dropped to a whisper full of rage. “I know who did this.”

Amelia froze. “Who?”

“Damien.”

The name hit her like lightning.

“It’s Damien Blackwood,” Alejandro said coldly. “And when I find him…”

His voice turned deadly quiet. “I swear to God, I will kill him.”

The line went dead. Amelia slowly lowered the phone.

Her hands trembled. Her son. Her little boy.

Gone.

    Gabriella froze. Her eyes quickly moved to Elena, begging for help.But Elena looked away.“Answer me!” Alejandro shouted.“I didn’t have a choice!” Elena cried suddenly, breaking down. “She forced me! Gabriella threatened me! She said if I didn’t help her, she would expose secrets that would destroy this family!”The room went still.Marisa stepped forward slowly. “What secrets?”Gabriella let out a bitter laugh, her face cold now. She had nothing left to hide.“You really want to know?” she said. “Fine.”She looked straight at Elena.“Your affair,” she said flatly. “With that married man in Barcelona.”Elena’s face went pale.“The abortion you had last year,” Gabriella continued, her voice sharp. “The one you lied about and called a miscarriage.”“Stop—” Elena whispered, shaking.“And the money,” Gabriella added. “The money you’ve been stealing from the family business to fund your lifestyle.”“STOP!” Elena screamed, covering her face.Tears streamed down her cheeks.“You said you’d

    FAVINO PENTHOUSE – MORNINGTWO WEEKS LATER Amelia was sitting at the dining table with Leo, watching him eat his cereal, when Maria rushed in, breathless and clearly shaken.“Mrs. Favino… they’re here,” Maria said quickly.Amelia frowned. “Who?”“Mr. Favino’s mother… and his sisters. All of them. And they’re… not calm.”Amelia’s chair scraped against the floor as she stood. “Marisa is back? I thought Alejandro told her to stay in Spain.”“She didn’t listen,” Maria said in a lower voice. “And she didn’t come alone. They’re in the living room. They’re demanding to see you. They won’t leave.”Amelia glanced at Leo.He was still eating, completely unaware.She softened her voice. “Leo, sweetheart, go to your room and play for a bit, okay? Mama needs to talk to some people.”Leo nodded happily. “Okay, Mama.”He jumped down and ran off.Amelia watched him go, then took a slow breath, steadying herself.“Let them wait,” she muttered.Then she walked toward the living room.—Marisa stood in

    The words fell like stones into still water. Serena's face went white. Marisa didn't move, didn't breathe."What did you say?" Marisa's voice was barely a whisper."I had a private investigator run a discreet genetic analysis," Elena continued, her voice steady despite the tremor in her hands. "Using samples I was able to obtain over the past year. The results came back last week. I've been trying to find the right time to tell you. There is no right time.""Whose son is he?" Serena demanded, her voice rising. "If not Miguel's, then whose?"Elena closed her eyes for a moment. When she opened them, they were wet."Damien Blackwood."The name hit Marisa like a physical blow. She gripped the edge of the table, her knuckles white."Damien Blackwood," she repeated slowly. "Amelia Ex Fiancee . Alexander Blackwood's son. The man who was obsessed with Amelia for years.""The same," Elena said quietly. "The DNA shows a 99.97% paternal match. Leo is Damien's child."Serena stood frozen, her ha

    The morning sun over the Favino hacienda was golden and warm, spilling through the tall windows of the main house like honey. Marisa Favino sat at the head of the long dining table, a cup of strong black coffee cooling in front of her. But this—this chaos her youngest son had brought into their lives—was testing her in ways she hadn't anticipated."Mamá, you haven't touched your coffee."Serena, her younger twin, appeared in the doorway, already dressed in riding clothes, her dark hair pulled back in a messy ponytail."I'm not hungry," Marisa said."You never eat when you're worried." Serena crossed the room, poured herself a coffee, and slid into the chair across from her mother. "And you've been worried for three months. Ever since Alejandro brought that woman to dinner."Marisa's eyes flickered. "Gabriella Guerra is not the problem anymore.""Then what is? The divorce? The scandal? The baby?" Serena's voice was sharp. "Pick one. There are enough to choose from."The sound of heel

    He closed his eyes. Vivian's face flashed behind them. Her laugh. Her fury. The way she looked at him sometimes like he was the only thing holding her together.But she was also the reason he was here. The reason he'd lost his job, his apartment, his future. She had pulled him into this darkness, and now she was drowning, and she was taking him with her."The warehouse is on Varick Street," he said. "Abandoned textile building, three blocks south of the canal. She's in the main floor, tied to a support beam. There's a loading bay in the back.""I know it." There was a rustle of movement on the other end. "Give me twenty minutes to confirm. If Katherina is alive, you'll receive a text with the wire confirmation and the flight details. If she's not—""She's alive," Harrison said quickly. "Vivian wanted her to suffer. She wasn't going to kill her.""Let's hope you're right. For your sake."The line went dead.Harrison sat there, the phone still pressed to his ear, listening to the dia

Still watching him.Still treating him like a suspect.His phone rang. Unknown number.Alexander stared at it for a second… then answered.“Hello?”“Alexander.”His body went still.Vivian.Her voice was calm… almost amused. “Surprised to hear from me?”Alexander straight
