~PLANTING EVIDENCE~Gustavo wiped his hands on a cloth, his movements precise and slow. Celine’s body lay still a few feet away, the pool of blood slowly creeping outward across the concrete floor.He glanced down at her phone, still lying where he had tossed it. A small smirk tugged at his mouth.Reaching into his jacket, Gustavo pulled out a second phone—the one he had taken from an informant months ago. A burner registered under a false name. He bent down and unlocked Celine’s phone again, steering to her text messages.Quickly, he typed a final message from her number.To Simon: "I need to see you. It’s about Vita. Meet me where we first talked. Urgent."Satisfied, Gustavo sent the text.Next, he wiped the gun clean, wrapping Celine’s trembling fingers loosely around it before pressing her hand to the trigger in one last, grim act.It wouldn’t matter that she was dead by the time the text reached Simon.The scene would speak for itself: a desperate, unstable woman reaching out to

Chapter 93WELL PLANNED The scream tore from Gemini's throat, raw and primal. Sweat plastered her hair to her forehead as another contraction ripped through her body."That's it, Gemini, you're doing great," the doctor encouraged from the foot of the bed. "I can see the head. One more big push!"Penelope stood beside her, gripping her hand tightly. "You've got this, girl. Just one more."Gemini looked up at her friend, tears streaming down her face. "Simon should be here," she gasped. "He promised he'd be here."The pain surged again, and she bore down with all her might, a strangled cry escaping her lips.Then, suddenly, there was relief—and the piercing wail of a newborn filled the room."It's a girl!" the doctor announced, lifting the squirming, red-faced infant. "A beautiful, healthy baby girl."Gemini collapsed back against the pillows, exhausted but reaching for her daughter. The nurses quickly cleaned the baby and placed her on Gemini's chest."Hi, Maya," she whispered, tears

~SEEING YOU AGAIN~Penelope sat beside Gemini's hospital bed, gently rocking baby Maya in her arms. "You're sure about this?" she asked for the third time. "Going to Brandon's place instead of home?"Gemini nodded, wincing slightly as she carefully buttoned her blouse. "I can't go back to the penthouse right now. Not with all the press camped outside. And not with..." She trailed off, unable to finish the sentence."Not with Lauren gone," Penelope completed softly.Tears welled in Gemini's eyes. Sweet, kind Lauren. The nanny who had been more like a mother. Found dead….another victim of whatever sinister plot was unfolding around them."I just can't believe she's gone," Gemini whispered. "And for Ciara to suggest that Simon—" Her voice broke."Hey," Penelope said firmly, "nobody with half a brain believes Simon had anything to do with any of this. The man worships the ground you walk on."A soft knock at the door interrupted them. Gemini hastily wiped her eyes as the door opened to re

~THE FINAL THREAT~Gemini's phone buzzed on the nightstand. She glanced at the screen and frowned, immediately recognizing Gustavo's number. After everything that had happened in the past twenty-four hours—discovering her mother was alive, learning the truth about her father's crimes—the last person she wanted to hear from was Gustavo Montreal.Still, she answered it. Know your enemy, her father had always taught her."What do you want, Gustavo?" Her voice was cold, detached."We need to talk, Gemini." His tone was urgent, almost desperate. "In person. It's important."She let out a bitter laugh. "I have nothing to say to you.""It's about your father," he pressed. "About the board meeting tomorrow. Things you need to know before you make a mistake you can't undo."Gemini hesitated, her mind racing. Was it possible he knew about their plans? About Maya being alive?"Fine," she said finally. "Where and when?""The café at the Riverside Hotel. In an hour.""That's across town. I need m

~BECAUSE I HATE YOU~Two days later, Gemini stood beside her father's hospital bed, watching as the doctors reduced his sedation. Maya and Brandon waited outside—neither ready to face George just yet.Slowly, George's eyes fluttered open, confusion giving way to recognition as he focused on Gemini's face."My daughter," he rasped, his voice weak from disuse."Hello, Father," Gemini replied, the formal address deliberate, a signal that things had changed.George's eyes darted around the room. "Where's Gustavo? I need to speak with him immediately.""Gustavo won't be visiting," Gemini said calmly. "He's currently in federal custody, along with Ciara."An alarm flashed across George's face. "What have you done?""What you taught me to do. Protect what's mine." Gemini leaned closer. "I know everything, Father. About Grandfather. About Mother. About what you've done to Saint Tech."George's expression hardened. "You understand nothing. Everything I did, I did to build an empire worthy of t
