Amelia Stone walked into the boardroom like she was in charge.

No one had called her. She didn’t bring an assistant. She didn’t say sorry there was obviously no need for all that.

She wore a sharp black suit, fitted perfectly, hugging her like confidence. Her long trench coat flowed behind her, and she carried a slim leather folder under her arm.

The room went silent. Everyone stopped what they were doing.

Even Katherina stiffened, eyes widening just a fraction. Damien’s jaw ticked once the only sign that the surprise had landed.

“Good morning,” Amelia said calmly walking straight toward the table. “I would have come sooner, but I thought I’d give everyone a chance to stab me in the back first.”

She dropped the leather folder onto the table with a sharp thud. “Unfortunately for you,” she said, her voice steady and cold, “I read faster than you plot.”

The boardroom fell into a heavy silence. No one spoke. Eyes darted between Amelia, Damien, and Katherina.

  • The Revenge Of The Betrayed Bride   The Warehouse Showdown

    The warehouse door groaned as Alicia Torres pushed it open. She slipped inside, her heels clicking lightly on the concrete, the sound echoing in the wide, empty space.She pressed her palm to her back, feeling the cold grip of the small pistol tucked into her waistband. Her lips curled into a thin smile. What does a cleaner know about guns? she thought. Enough to survive tonight.Two armed bodyguards followed her Louis and Kernel, the men she’d just hired. They weren’t cheap, but protection never was. And tonight, she needed protection more than ever.Louis scanned the corners, his broad shoulders tense, a hand already on his weapon. “This place is too quiet,” he muttered. “Feels wrong.”Kernel gave a dry laugh, adjusting his coat as he walked beside Alicia. “Every deal feels wrong. That’s why you brought us. Right, boss?”“Exactly,” Alicia said smoothly, “Damien Blackwood isn’t meeting me because he wants to. He’s coming because he has no choice.”She walked to the middle of the war

    Okay, you said your name is Alicia Torres, but I don’t know any Alicia Torres. Information about what? Do you even know who you’re talking to?” the stranger asked calmly.“Yes, I do,” Alicia replied smoothly. “I’m talking to Damien Blackwood, aren’t I?”“Yes, you are,” Damien said after a pause. “So what information do you have?”“That,” Alicia said firmly, “I can’t tell you over the phone. I suggest we meet 11th Wallace Street. Your map will guide you. And don’t be late. Oh, and bring a briefcase full of cash.”“Cash? Why?” Damien’s voice sharpened in disbelief.Alicia laughed coldly. “Do you think I’d just give away what I know for free? Please, don’t make me laugh. I’m not doing charity work here. What I have is big. Think about it what if you found out you’d been lied to for years?”Damien was silent, then said slowly, “Alright. I’m getting the picture. Name your price.”“Ten million,” Alicia said without hesitation. “That’s what the truth costs.”“Ten million?” Damien snapped. “D

    Ariana stepped outside, adjusting her sunglasses. A tall man in a sleek black suit approached, giving a polite nod.“Good morning, Miss Ariana,” he said in a crisp voice.Ariana raised an eyebrow. “And you are?”“I’m Daniel Blackwood’s chauffeur,” he replied smoothly. “I’m here to take you to the private jet.”Ariana blinked, surprised. “Private jet? Funny, Daniel forgot to mention that part.”The chauffeur allowed himself a small smile. “It was meant to be a surprise.”Ariana smirked. “Well, I do love surprises. Alright then, let’s go.”He opened the car door for her, and she slid in with a satisfied sigh. As the car pulled away, she quickly dialed Amelia.Her best friend picked up on the second ring.“Uhh, duh, why didn’t you answer on the first ring?” Ariana teased.Amelia’s voice came through, warm and light. “I was helping Miguel sort out some of his clothes. You know housewife duties.”Ariana rolled her eyes playfully. “Ohhh, the lovable wife routine. Anyway, guess where I’m off

    Her lips trembled as she whispered, “Disappear? You mean… kill me?”Miguel leaned back, his eyes cold but calm. He shook his head slowly, almost like he pitied her.“If I wanted you dead, Janet, you’d already be at the bottom of the river by now. No.” His voice dropped to a chilling calm. “I’m giving you something people would kill for. A way out. Two million dollars wired clean into an account. And a brand new passport. A whole new identity. You can vanish and start over somewhere far away. Think about it a life you never even dreamed of, bought with your silence.”Janet let out a nervous laugh, though it cracked halfway. “But… but you just said ‘six feet under.’ By my definition, that means you were planning to kill me.”Miguel leaned forward, his hand gripping the knife still stuck in the chair. He tugged it free with a sharp scrape of metal against wood. His voice was low, deadly calm.“Don’t confuse a warning with a promise. I give people choices, Janet. Most don’t get that luxur

    Ariana’s Apartment, Late NightAriana paced across her small living room, phone clutched in her hand. She muttered under her breath, frustration etched on her face.“How the hell do you even say this? ‘Hey babe, let’s go to your secret Maldives lake house’? Yeah, real smooth, Ari. He’ll think I’ve lost my damn mind.”She flopped onto the couch, hugging a throw pillow tight against her chest. After a few seconds of pep talk to herself, she took a deep breath and dialed Daniel’s number.He picked up after the second ring. His voice was low, rich, and teasing.“Ariana. What’s got you calling me at this hour?”She rolled her eyes but softened her tone, letting a playful lilt slip in.“Can’t a girlfriend just miss her man?”Daniel chuckled, his voice dripping amusement.“Mmm. I like how that sounds. Girlfriend. Say it again.”Ariana smirked despite herself. “Don’t get cocky.” She hesitated, biting her lip. Okay, Ari. Don’t blow it. Play it cool. “Listen… I’ve been thinking. We never really

    Amelia froze. Her body went stiff, her breath catching in her throat. The walls of the clinic hallway felt like they were pressing in on her, the buzzing lights above almost blinding.Leo, holding tight to her hand, tugged at her scarf with his other. His small voice broke the silence.“Mama, did she find Annabella? Ask her, Mama!”The cleaner’s eyes widened at the child, then flicked back to the photos the battered, broken face labeled Before and the carefully reconstructed one labeled After.She stammered, her grip tightening on the folder.“This… this doesn’t make sense. Are you… are you living under another name?”Amelia forced a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. “I think there’s been a mistake. That file isn’t mine.”The cleaner shook her head furiously. “No… no, I saw it. The dates, the surgeries it’s you. You are Adrianna Rodriguez.”Leo frowned, holding his elephant toy tighter. “Mama, who’s Adrianna? Is she Annabella’s friend?”Amelia’s breath caught. She pressed him cl
