The sun was setting, painting the sky red, and Ellijah, from the window of his studio, felt the dark desire in his heart grow. He had always been attracted to what he didn't have — and now, more than ever, it was Victoria who fueled that obsession.Meanwhile, Victoria finished work and left the company to join Noemia, as promised. Little did she know that the fate of that night would be decisive not only for her friend, but for herself.Jackson, meanwhile, finally found a break after days of tension and intense negotiations with Lázaro. An unexpected invitation came his way: the president of one of the largest construction companies in the country wanted to welcome him to his residence to discuss a project that Jackson had long desired.Jackson went. He imagined it would be just another brief business trip. But as soon as he walked through the doors of the luxurious mansion, he realized something was wrong.In the basement, the host revealed

Soraya Carson only believed in her grandson's innocence after seeing the girl in person. Even so, the rumor had already spread among high society: Jackson Carson was keeping a 19-year-old mistress.This hurt Victoria more than anyone could imagine.Determined to protect her daughter-in-law, Soraya took the girl to the Carson mansion, trying to stifle the gossip before it gained more momentum.Jackson, for his part, remained unshaken. He knew the truth, and so did Victoria. For him, the focus was on the company. And it was precisely at work that another challenge would arise.The time had come for JB to meet with the new design genius, Elijah Daniels.To avoid rumors and embarrassment, Victoria decided not to attend. However, Ellijah insisted: he wanted to see her in person. With no alternative, Jayric called Victoria.She sighed, fixed her hair, put on an elegant skirt that flattered her figure without emphasizing her pregnancy too much, and went to the restaurant. From behind, no one

“Carly Porsel, starting today, you can stay with us... but as a maid,” said the matriarch firmly.Carly's eyes widened in indignation.“A maid? Ma'am, I've never served anyone.”Soraya stared at her sternly.“You can learn. I only brought you here because of the rumors. You're going to help us clear Jackson's name.”Carly's heart raced. Jackson... so that's his name. The image of the tall, strong CEO with the striking face popped into her mind. Her face flushed again.“Okay... I'll help him,” she murmured, trying to sound decisive.“Great. After we settle everything, I'll arrange for your family to come and get you.”But Carly exploded, her eyes brimming with hatred.“No! I don't want to go back to them. They sold me. They don't deserve to be called my parents.”Soraya watched her silently and, moved by the pain in her voice, nodded.“All right. We won't contact them. After that, you'll be free to go wherever you want.”Carly pressed her lips together, hesitating. The truth was that s

Victoria closed her laptop and stood up—but before she could take a step, Jackson placed his hand firmly on the table, trapping her between his arms. His gaze was intense, his voice deep and authoritative:“Tell me about this man.”Victoria's heart raced. They had an agreement since the episode with her mother and Marcello: no secrets.She took a deep breath and decided to tell the whole truth. “Ellijah is an up-and-coming designer, a talent that is attracting worldwide attention. Now that he's back in the country, all the big companies are vying for his cooperation. JB can't be left behind. I just...” She hesitated, but continued firmly, “I just want to show that I can achieve something on my own.”Mr. Rey and I are taking care of it. But I don't know why he asked for a video chat tonight.Jackson listened to her in silence, but his mind was already clear: Ellijah's eyes, the way he looked at her.

Maison bowed discreetly before putting away his phone.“I'll take care of Vanessa, don't worry.”As he was leaving, he turned back, hesitant.“Mrs. Carson... Mr. Carson will be traveling for two days with people from the public relations department. Perhaps... it would be good to have someone trustworthy accompany him. I'm afraid Vivian might try something dishonest.”Victoria thought for a few seconds. He was right.“Yes. I'll take care of it. Thank you, Maison.”Meanwhile, at the Carson mansion...Soraya Carson woke up early. Since the scandal that had tarnished the family name—the malicious rumors about Jackson having a “baby sugar”—the matriarch had not had a single day of peace. She knew the truth was in her control, but the poisonous tongues of high society ladies were unforgiving.And that day, Soraya made a decision: she would take Carly Porsel to the ladies' meetin
