Daniel showed up at the hospital holding a small bouquet of fresh flowers. When Katherina saw him, surprise flashed in her eyes. “What are you doing here?”

He smiled warmly. “I’ve got good news. But first, take these.” He put the flowers in an empty vase on the bedside table and gently watered them.

Katherina glanced toward the door. “What about my husband?”

“He stepped out to get some food,” Daniel said with a smirk. “Trying to be romantic, I guess.”

She let out a soft sigh, looking a bit more relaxed. “So, what about the police? Did they say anything?”

Daniel’s eyes sparkled. “They came, looked into everything. But the case is closed. They say it was a suicide.”

Katherina exhaled deeply. “Finally… I can breathe. All my worries just disappeared away.”

He leaned in closer, lowering his voice to a soft whisper. “I told you to trust me. With me by your side, I can move mountains for you.” Then, without hesitation, he pressed a gentle kiss to her lips. She pulled back slightly, a small s

    Damien’s jaw tightened, but he couldn’t pull his gaze away from that mark. His hand gripped her thigh possessively, almost too hard.“Where did you get this?” he demanded, his voice low, dangerous.Amelia blinked in confusion, trying to steady her breathing. “What are you talking about?”His thumb pressed against the mole, his eyes burning with something darker than lust now. “This mark. Don’t lie to me, Amelia. How long have you had it?”“I …. I was born with it,” she stammered, her chest rising and falling quickly. “Why why does it matter?”Damien’s eyes looked wild, almost lost, as if he was trapped between the past and the present. His voice broke when he spoke.“Because she had it too,” he said, the words raw and shaky. It was the first time Amelia had ever heard real pain in his voice.“She…?” Amelia whispered, her blood running cold.Damien’s grip tightened, his voice cutting like a blade.“Adrianna. My Adrianna. The woman who died. And you…” he stopped, his breath rough, his e

    SLAP!A sharp smack cut through the music. Ryan stumbled back, holding his face in shock.Amelia’s heart dropped. The alcohol in her system seemed to vanish in a blink as her eyes looked to the man standing there.Damien.His eyes burned with fury as he grabbed Ryan by the collar. “How dare you touch her.”Ryan’s head snapped to the side, his cheek burning. He straightened slowly, disbelief flashing across his face.“Damien?” he spat, wiping his lip. “What the hell is your problem?”Damien’s grip tightened on his collar, dragging him close. His voice was cold and deadly “My problem is you thinking you can lay your filthy hands on her.”Amelia’s heart pounded. She stepped forward, eyes flicking between them. “Damien stop. You’re making a scene.”Ryan yanked free, shoving Damien’s hand off. “Don’t act like she’s yours. She’s engaged last I checked, not to you.”That only lit Damien’s temper hotter. His jaw clenched, his eyes dark. “You think you’re man enough to even say her name? You’

    Amelia pushed the door open with a smile. “Hey, baby girl,” she said as she stepped into Ariana’s apartment. “How’s my favorite person doing today?”Ariana looked up from the couch where she was scrolling through her phone. “I’m good, been chilling. Work’s been smooth. No drama so far.”“That’s what I like to hear,” Amelia said, dropping her bag onto the chair. “We’re going shopping later, don’t forget. And tonight? We’ve got that nightclub thing.”Ariana raised an eyebrow, smirking. “Hold up. You? In a nightclub? Damn, Amelia, I never pegged you for a club girl.”Amelia crossed her arms, pretending to be offended. “What’s that supposed to mean?”“I mean,” Ariana laughed, “you’re all business meetings, tailored suits, and champagne dinners. I thought the wild side skipped you.”Amelia grinned, tossing her hair back. “Please. The more I make money, the more I spend it. I work hard, I play harder. And tonight? I want to dance like there’s no tomorrow.”Ariana chuckled, shaking her head.

    Damien stormed into his father’s study without knocking, his jaw clenched. Alexander Blackwood was seated at the long mahogany table, calmly sipping coffee and reading the morning paper.“Papa,” Damien snapped, “have you heard the news? Don’t tell me you haven’t, because my lovely wife made sure the entire world did. She announced she’s having twins. Twins!”Alexander chuckled, setting his paper down. “Ah, yes. Quite the headline. Congratulations, my boy.”Damien’s face darkened. “Don’t congratulate me. Every time I think I’m two steps ahead of Katherina, something happens that ties me back to her.”Alexander laughed, the sound slow and mocking. It made Damien’s jaw tighten.“Oh, my dear son,” Alexander said between bites of his eggs. “That only means you and Katherina are bound for eternity. Fate clearly enjoys playing tricks.”Damien’s fists curled at his sides. “That’s not funny, Father.”Alexander smirked, raising his fork before taking another bite. “I wasn’t joking.”“Fate?” Dam

    Miguel finally set Amelia down, both of them still breathing hard, water dripping from their skin. She leaned against the glass door, her legs wobbly beneath her.“Miguel, look at me,” she laughed breathlessly, brushing soaked hair out of her face. “You ruined my makeup, my hair, my shirt and we’re already late.”He smirked, reaching out to steady her. “Worth every second, mi amor. You’re glowing now… maybe Leo’s teachers will think you planned this look.”Amelia gave him a playful shove. “Planned? Showing up with wet hair and swollen lips? I’ll look like a complete mess.”Miguel stepped closer, his grin softening as he cupped her cheek. “You’ll look like the most beautiful woman in the room. Always.”Her irritation melted, and for a moment she just stared into his eyes, her chest tightening. “You know… sometimes I hate that you can say things like that and make me forget I’m mad at you.”He kissed her forehead gently. “Then I’ll keep saying them. Every day.”A sharp knock came on the

    Miguel walked into the penthouse, and before he could take off his coat, little Leo ran straight into his arms.“Hey, champ!” Miguel said, scooping him up easily. “How are you doing? Did you miss me?”“Yes, Uncle Miguel! Where have you been?” Leo asked, wrapping his small arms around Miguel’s neck.Miguel smiled and kissed the boy’s forehead. “I’ve been working hard, mi rey. Making more money so I can buy you plenty of new shirts and toys.”Leo giggled. “That’s sweet.”From across the room, Amelia called out, already holding Leo’s little suit. “Leo, come down from Miguel’s arms. We need to get you ready for your kindergarten graduation.”“But Mama…” Leo pouted. “I just wanna talk to Uncle Miguel for a little bit.” He reached up and tugged gently at Miguel’s beard. “You look rough, Uncle Miguel. Where have you been? You didn’t even come to my spelling bee.”Miguel’s smile faltered. “I’m so sorry, Leo, I…”“Leo.” Amelia’s tone cut through sharply. “Get down right now.”Leo leaned closer
