LOGINBella’s life takes a dark turn when her father’s debt to the Jacksons falls on her shoulders, and the price is paid in blood. Lucas, one of the Jackson brothers, steps in, claiming her as his wife to save her. But before the wedding, Bella finds herself drawn to Damon, Lucas’s enigmatic brother. The ceremony shatters when gunfire erupts, leaving Lucas critically wounded. As he lies in a coma, Bella and Damon grow closer, crossing a line they can’t undo. When Lucas finally wakes up, shaken by his brush with death, he pleads for a chance to make their marriage work. Damon, however, drops the bomb about their affair. Lucas whisks Bella away, determined to salvage what’s left, but secrets and unfinished business loom. Will Damon fight for her, or will Lucas prove he’s the one who can truly win her heart? While traveling through Europe, Lucas discovers Bella is pregnant, with Damon’s child. It’s a gut punch, but he decides he’s got to step up if he’s going to keep her. Just as things start looking up for them, life throws another curveball. A freak accident sends them tumbling down a flight of stairs, Bella breaks her leg, and Lucas fractures his spine, leaving him wheelchair bound. Determined to see him recover, Bella throws herself into rehabilitating him while secretly using her father’s hidden Swiss funds to build a company. Back in America, the family drama kicks into high gear. Bella’s accused of shoving Lucas down the stairs to get rid of him, because, of course, she’d risk breaking her own leg for that. Damon’s met with a version of Bella he doesn’t recognize, convinced she’s only staying with Lucas out of pity.

Save it for the honeymoon,” Maria interrupted, walking in. She smiled at Isabella. “But seriously, you’re good for him. He hasn’t been this happy in years.” She gently cupped Isabella’s cheek.“Ma, did you really have to cook enough for an army?” Mateo asked, eyeing the table piled with food.“Well, your sister and Airam are coming too,” Maria replied casually.Mateo stiffened. Isabella squeezed his hand. “It’s fine. We were gonna have to face them eventually. She’s your sister, after all.”The sound of car doors slamming outside broke the tension. Thiago and Amelia walked in first, and Isabella practically launched herself at her dad.“Dad! Missed you,” she said, hugging him tight before turning to her mom.Then Airam an
Lucas and Bella exchanged uneasy glances. Everyone was here except Isabella.“Something’s off,” Lucas muttered, his voice low. “I don’t like this. They’re hiding something.”“Come on,” Bella urged, her tone sharp but steady. “Let’s grab the kids and figure out how to find her.”Just then, a car pulled up. Airam stumbled out, his arm in a sling and a noticeable limp in his step. “Where’s Isabella?” he demanded, panic edging his voice.“She’s gone,” Lucas said flatly as Thiago approached, his eyes narrowing.“What aren’t you saying, Airam?” Thiago pressed, his voice cutting through the tension.Airam hesitated, then sighed. “We grabbed the daughters of a few arms dealers. They need to pay up.”“Damn it,” Lucas cursed under his breath. “Why Isabella?”“Yeah, that doesn’t add up,” Thiago agreed, just as another car rolled in. A striking woman stepped out, and Airam’s face went pale.“Laura? What the hell are you doing here?” he stammered.She marched up to him, slapped him hard across the
Isabella opened her eyes, her wrists cuffed to the bedframe. Stay calm, she reminded herself. Focus. Then Airam’s face flashed in her mind, and her chest tightened. She bit back the urge to cry.The door creaked open. “Hello, Isabella,” the man said smoothly.“Do I know you?” she shot back, her voice sharp. She stared into his eyes, hazel, piercing, since the rest of his face was masked.He chuckled. “Not yet, but I’m hoping we can change that.” He stepped closer, reaching out to touch her face. She jerked her head away and slapped his hand.“I’m not the enemy here,” he said, feigning innocence.“You hurt my husband, my family. You’ll pay for that,” she snapped.“Oh, that wasn’t me. That was the parents of the girls they took. I came here for you,” he replied casually.“Bullshit. Nice try. What do you want with me?” she demanded.“See, Airam was engaged to my sister,” he said, pulling off his mask. His dark hair was longer than she remembered, a faint stubble on his jaw. “He promised
Lucas and Thiago stood by the door, and when she stepped out, they froze.“Damn, princess,” Lucas smirked, “you clean up good.”Isabella rolled her eyes but grinned, hugging him. “Grandpa, don’t make me ruin my makeup already.”Her dress was flawless, fitting her like it was made just for her. She linked arms with them, and they made their way down the stairs.At the bottom, Airam was waiting. His jaw nearly hit the floor when he saw her.“Remember, Airam,” Lucas said, clapping him on the shoulder, “she’s got a whole army of family ready to hunt you down if you mess this up.”Thiago kissed her forehead, his eyes suspiciously shiny. “Take care of my girl,” he said, giving Airam a stern look.Airam took her hand, and she smiled at him, soft, but with a hint of mischief.The ceremony went smoothly, followed by the obligatory family photos, and then the reception kicked off.Cristiano walked over to his sister, raising his glass with a smirk."To my stunning sister, let’s hope Airam remem
