Katherina shook her head, crying uncontrollably. “Papa, please… you can’t mean that. She’ll destroy me!”

Eduardo turned away, his voice cold. “No, Katherina. You destroyed yourself.”

Altricia stood still, her face pale, tears filling her eyes. “Eduardo… what have you done?” she whispered.

Eduardo looked at her one last time, his eyes full of disgust. “What I should’ve done years ago protect the daughter who never stopped being mine.”

He pointed toward the door. “You and your daughter have twenty four hours to leave my house. Starting now.”

Altricia’s voice rose, trembling with anger. “Eduardo, you wouldn’t dare throw us out! After everything we’ve been through”

“Watch me,” he cut in coldly. “My daughter is alive. The truth is finally out. And I hope she destroys both of you, the same way you destroyed her.”

Katherina dropped onto the couch, shaking and sobbing uncontrollably. “Papa, please… don’t do this,” she cried.

Eduardo didn’t look back. “You made your choice the moment you betra

    Vince smirked. “Changed you? You’re still the same badass who once took down a whole warehouse full of traitors.”Santos chuckled. “Yeah, except now he wears a wedding ring instead of a gun holster.”The men burst out laughing again.Just then, little Leo, came running into the room, wearing a tiny black tuxedo with a red bow tie. “Papa! Look!” he said proudly, holding up a flower pin.Miguel’s eyes softened instantly. He crouched down and fixed the pin on Leo’s chest. “Perfect, mi pequeño caballero. You look handsome just like your mama.”Leo grinned. “Can I walk with you to the front, Papa?”“Of course,” Miguel said, kissing his forehead. “You’ll walk right beside me.”Rafael smiled at the scene. “Damn, boss. Family man, husband, father, crime lord… you’ve got quite the résumé.”Miguel laughed quietly. “It’s all about balance.”Then his expression turned serious as he looked toward the men guarding the door. “Santos, how’s security?”“All entrances are covered,” Santos replied. “Sni

    ST PATRICK’S CATHOLIC CHURCH — WEDDING MORNING BRIDE’S DRESSING ROOM“Papa! You came for my wedding!” Amelia said with a bright smile as she rushed into her father’s arms.Eduardo hugged her tightly, his voice warm. “Of course, mija. I wouldn’t miss this for the world. And you know what makes me even happier? You’re finally getting married under your real name Adrianna Rodriguez.”Amelia pulled back slightly, her smile fading. “I’m sorry to disappoint you, Papa,” she said softly. “But where did you hear that? Adrianna Rodriguez is gone. She died the day Damien married my sister. I’m not her anymore.”Eduardo frowned. “Then who are you, my daughter?”“I’m Amelia Stone now,” she said firmly. “You have to start calling me that, Papa. Get used to it.”He studied her face for a moment, then nodded slowly. “Okay, Amelia,” he said, his tone tender but sad. “If that’s what you want. But you look so beautiful today, do you know that? Just like your mother did on her wedding day.”She smiled so

    Cheap Motel – MorningThe sound of babies crying filled the small, dimly lit room. Empty bottles and wrinkled baby clothes were scattered across the floor.Altricia stood by the window, her arms crossed, her face tired but sharp. “Wake up and feed those babies, Katherina,” she said firmly. “We have a wedding to attend.”From the bed, Katherina groaned and pulled the blanket over her head. “What wedding, Mama? Leave me alone. I just want to sleep. After that embarrassment with Daniel yesterday, I want the world to forget I exist.”Mira’s cries grew louder, and Isa began to whimper too.Katherina sighed and muttered, “You know what, Mama? I might as well put these twins up for adoption. Maybe someone else can do better.”Altricia spun around sharply. “Over my dead body! You will do no such thing!” she snapped. “Those children are Blackwood heirs, Katherina! Whether Damien or Daniel want them or not, those twins are our way out of this hellhole.”Katherina sat up, her hair a mess, eyes r

    PRIVATE RESTAURANT PARKING LOT NIGHTThe air was cold, and the parking lot was nearly empty. Katherina stood under a dim streetlight, her arms wrapped around herself as Daniel’s car pulled up.He stepped out, looking tired but sharp in his suit. “You wanted to see me?” he asked flatly.Katherina forced a shaky smile. “Yes, Daniel. I… I needed to talk.”Daniel sighed. “Make it quick. I don’t want Ariana finding out I met you.”Her smile faded. “So, it’s true. You really love her, don’t you?”He looked down for a moment, then nodded. “Yeah. She’s carrying my child, Kat. I’ve made mistakes, but I’m trying to fix things. Even though we’re not on good terms, I’ll keep begging for her forgiveness.”Katherina stepped closer, her voice soft, pleading. “What about us, Daniel? What about Mira and Isa? They’re your daughters.”Daniel’s expression hardened. “They’re your daughters, Katherina. I don’t even know if…”“Don’t you dare!” she snapped. “They’re yours! I gave birth to them. I suffered fo

    Eduardo looked up from his chair, frowning. “Why are the babies crying like that? And why do you look like a mess?”Katherina could barely speak as she put the twins down on the couch. “Mama… everything’s gone.”Altricia knelt beside her, holding her shoulders. “What do you mean gone?”Katherina’s lips trembled. “Damien… he divorced me tonight.”Eduardo’s face hardened. “Divorced you? Are you serious? What did you do this time?”Tears ran down her cheeks. “It wasn’t my fault! None of it was! At the Thanksgiving dinner it turned into a nightmare. Amelia came back, Papa. But not as Amelia… as Adrianna!”Altricia froze. “What?”“She stood in front of everyone,” Katherina said, pacing back and forth. “She told them who she really was. She humiliated me, Mama in front of the whole Blackwood family, the press, everyone!”She turned to her parents, sobbing harder. “Damien ended it right there. In front of everyone. He said it was over.”Mira started wailing again, and Isa began hiccuping fro
