The engagement party was in full swing, a grand affair with the glitter of chandeliers reflecting off elegantly dressed guests. The air buzzed with conversations and laughter, all centered around the celebrated guest of honor—Aiden, the multimillionaire whose name carried weight in every corner of the room.Ryan stood near the bar, a glass of whiskey in hand, forced into attendance by Mia’s relentless persuasion. He had initially resisted, knowing it would be a night filled with reminders of what he couldn’t have, but Mia’s determination had left him no choice.The murmurs in the crowd hushed as Amira descended the grand staircase, escorted by Mia, who had spent hours grooming her. She wore a flowing champagne gown that sparkled like a cascade of stars, accentuating her beauty in a way that seemed otherworldly. Her hair was styled in soft waves, and her makeup was minimal yet flawless, emphasizing her natural features.Ryan froze, his glass hovering mid-air. His heart skipped a beat a

Ryan sat on the couch in Amira’s living room, his shirt partially soaked with blood. His head rested back as Amira rummaged through her cabinet for the first aid kit. She brought it to the coffee table, put on a pair of gloves, and took out antiseptic wipes and suturing equipment.“This might sting,” Amira said, kneeling in front of him.“Go ahead,” Ryan muttered, his eyes heavy with frustration and pain.She leaned in, examining the gash on his head carefully. The laceration was deeper than she’d expected, and she sighed. “Two sutures should do it.”As she worked, the silence in the room grew thick, punctuated only by Ryan’s occasional winces.“Why did you come here, Ryan?” Amira asked, her voice low but steady.Ryan’s jaw tightened. “Aiden called me.”Her hands froze for a moment before she continued. “What?”“He called and said you were in trouble,” Ryan said, his tone sharp. “But when I got here, he started threatening me.”Amira’s heart sank. “I’m so sorry, Ryan,” she whispered.

Amira didn’t answer. She climbed into her car, slamming the door shut. The engine roared to life, and without another word, she sped off, leaving Aiden standing on the curb, his hands clenched into fists.Behind him, Michael chuckled. “Now get ready for plan B. Kneel before her for apology ”Aiden shot him a glare before storming to his own car, determined to fix the mess he had made.Amira reached her apartment, her mind a whirlwind of emotions. She unlocked the door and stepped inside, only to freeze in her tracks. The living room was filled with flowers—roses, lilies, and her favorite orchids, their vibrant colors filling the space with life.On the table in the center of the room sat a card that read Happy Anniversary, My Love.Her breath caught in her throat. It had to be Aiden.Her eyes stung with unshed tears as guilt and anger warred within her. She sank onto the couch, burying her face in her hands. Just as she began to collect herself, her Leo, started barking and wagging hi

Aiden had to leave his newlywed wife to attend important businesses tripThe mansion felt vast and empty without Aiden’s presence. Every sound, every creak of the floorboards echoed in the stillness, amplifying the quiet that surrounded me. After he left for Italy, a sense of longing settled deep within me. It was strange how quickly I had grown accustomed to him being around. His touch, his voice, the way he teased me—it had all become part of my daily rhythm. And now, with him miles away, there was a void.I sighed, trying to shake off the feeling of loneliness as I wandered through the mansion, my footsteps echoing off the marble floors. Eventually, I found myself in the living room, settling onto the plush sofa. My phone buzzed with a notification, pulling me from my thoughts. It was a message from Mia.Without hesitation, I dialed her number, needing the comfort of familiar voices.“Finally! The newlywed graces us with her presence,” Mia teased as soon as she answered, her voice

The investigator called me the next day with an update. His voice was steady but urgent as he explained that he had tracked Emera’s phone to a location on the outskirts of the city. My heart raced as I quickly grabbed my things and rushed out. I didn’t even think to tell anyone where I was going. All I could think about was finding her, hoping she was safe.When I arrived at the location, it was eerily quiet. It was an old, abandoned industrial area—rusted machinery and forgotten buildings standing in stark contrast to the city’s vibrant life not far away. The area felt like it had been deserted for years. My stomach twisted in knots as I realized there wasn’t a single soul in sight. I had expected to find something, or at least someone.Pulling out my phone, I dialed Emera’s number again, praying for any sign of her. I held my breath as the phone rang, but no one answered. Frustrated, I was about to hang up when I heard a faint, metallic sound nearby. My head snapped toward the noise
