The intercom buzzed, and a familiar voice came through.

“Hi, baby girl,” Daniel’s deep voice echoed from the speaker.

Ariana smiled instantly. She pressed the button. “Give me a minute, baby. I’m coming.”

She quickly slipped on her heels, smoothed down her dress, and opened the door. Daniel was waiting, leaning casually against the wall. The second his eyes landed on her, his jaw practically dropped.

“Oh my God,” he breathed, grinning wide. “You look so damn sexy and beautiful.”

Ariana’s cheeks warmed, and she swatted at his arm. “Stop it with the flattery, Daniel.”

“I’m not flattering you,” he said seriously, his gaze sweeping over her. “That dress… wow. I didn’t think the one you ordered from Fashion Nova would look this good on you. I’m speechless.”

Ariana rolled her eyes, though a shy smile curved her lips. “Well, thank you. But we’re late for the reinstatement party, remember? We need to go.”

“Fine, fine,” Daniel said, holding his hands up in surrender. “But for the record, I cou

    Katherina stormed into Daniel’s apartment without knocking, slamming the door behind her. Her eyes were blazing, her voice trembling with rage.“What the hell, Daniel?” she shouted. “So while you were busy digging inside me, you were also busy building your stable life with a girlfriend? You told me you loved me! You told me you wanted to be with me!”She grabbed his hand and pressed it firmly against her belly. Her voice cracked.“What about the babies in my womb? Do you even care? Do you even know they’re twins?”Daniel froze, his eyes widening. “Twins?”Katherina let out a bitter laugh, tears welling in her eyes.“Exactly! You don’t even know. That witch has bewitched you. You don’t care about me anymore you don’t care about us!”Daniel yanked his hand back, his expression turning cold.“Stop with the fake tears, Katherina. You caused this. I gave you every chance I told you to leave my brother Damien. I promised I’d take care of you. I told you countless times he doesn’t love you.

    “Yes, we know each other,” Katherina sneered, letting out a sharp laugh. “She’s my secretary. And now look at this…. Blackwood drama getting messier by the damn day.”Daniel’s jaw tightened as he turned to Ariana. “You worked for my father’s company this whole time, and you never told me?”Ariana slowly slid the lipstick across her lips, unbothered and almost teasing.“Please,” she said, her tone cool. “You never asked. You just assumed I had some fancy corporate job. Truth is you didn’t care enough to know where I really worked.”Katherina’s eyes flashed, her hand instinctively covering her belly.‘So let me get this straight,’ she said, her voice edged with fury. ‘While your father is out there announcing his marriage, the two of you sneak in here?’Her gaze snapped towards Ariana, cold and accusing.“Tell me, Daniel… what is she? your latest fling?”Ariana’s eyes sparkled, but she kept quiet, waiting to see what Daniel would say.Daniel shifted uncomfortably, then stepped forward,

    Ariana’s back pressed against the cool restroom wall, her breath coming fast as Daniel’s lips found hers in a deep, hungry kiss.“Instead of being out there at the main event, we’re hiding in the bathroom,” she whispered between kisses, her lips brushing his.Daniel smirked, his hand sliding down her waist. “I know, baby… but I can’t get enough of you in this sexy gown. You’re driving me insane.”Her laugh was soft, nervous, but filled with heat. “Daniel… have you ever done this? Had sex right in the middle of an event?”His lips trailed down her neck, making her shiver. “No… but the thought of it with you? It’s the hottest thing I can imagine.”Ariana bit her lip, her pulse racing. “We’re really doing this? What if someone notices we’re gone?”He lifted his head, his eyes dark and sure. “I don’t care about my brother’s wife’s party. I don’t care what my father has to say. The only thing I care about right now” his fingers tugged her gown’s strap down slowly, “is making you feel good.

  • The Revenge Of The Betrayed Bride   The Ballroom Confrontation

    Later That Evening The chandeliers glittered above the grand ballroom, flooding the space in golden light. Waiters moved like clockwork, trays of champagne flutes balanced in perfect rhythm. The air buzzed with whispers, speculation, and curiosity tonight was about Katherina Blackwood.Then, the double doors opened.Damien and Katherina stepped in together, hand in hand. He wore a perfectly tailored black suit, sharp and commanding. She walked beside him in her red gown, every eye glued to her as though she were royalty.“She looks incredible,” someone whispered.“Back already? After everything?” another murmured.“Trust the Blackwoods to make a spectacle of themselves,” one board member muttered into his glass.Katherina heard the whispers. She straightened her back, a queen reclaiming her throne, and smiled with just the right amount of sweetness.“Keep smiling,” Damien whispered at her side, his lips brushing her ear. “They love a show.”“I don’t just want them to love me,” Kather

    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
