ALEX “Emma and Stefano are not in a relationship.” My breath hitched, and I was thrown off guard for several seconds. I wasn't sure if I'd heard her right or my brain was just transmitting what I wanted to hear. “So you're saying that Emma and Stefano are not together?” I questioned tentatively. Immediately, Luisa’s eyes widened like she’d just realized she'd said something she shouldn't have said. “No. I didn’t say anything,” she replied quickly, shifting in her seat. “If Emma told you something else, then that’s the truth.” Then she got up and returned to her seat beside her husband without another word. I didn't press further, but I knew I needed no further clarification. If Emma and Stefano were truly dating, her parents would already know. My mind reeled. It felt like a haze in my head had been cleared. I'd never seen Emma and Ste

After taking a shower and changing into the dress Celia had picked, I grabbed my purse from the dresser and headed out of my room.I was halfway down the stairs when I heard laughter. Liam’s shrieking giggles and Liana shouting, “No, Daddy! That’s cheating!” followed by Alex’s low chuckle.A smile automatically slipped onto my face.Liam saw me first. He turned on the couch, his eyes widening as he gawked. “Whoa… Mummy, you look so pretty.”Alex’s head followed our son’s gaze, and when his eyes landed on me, he froze.He stood slowly, almost like he’d forgotten how to move.“You look…” He blinked. “Splendid.”“Thanks,” I said, avoiding his gaze when it lingered too long.The silence stretched. I shifted on my feet, then glared at him lightly. “Stop staring.”He didn’t even pretend to look ashamed. “Can’t help it.”Before I could respond, Liana perked up. “Where are you going, Mummy?”I smiled at her. “Out. I said I would be going out with Uncle Faano, remember?”As if on cue, the door

“Go ahead,” I said, waving Emma and the kids toward the car.Emma gave me a questioning glance, but I forced a casual smile and held up my phone. “I’ll just be a minute.”The twins were too busy gushing about Rocket’s epic escape scene to notice anything odd, and Emma finally nodded, ushering them inside the car. I waited until the doors closed before answering the call.“Talk to me,” I said.The investigator’s voice came through. “We managed to verify everything. Robert, Hillary Harris's husband, is exactly what you asked me to investigate. He's crooked, and that doesn’t even begin to cover it. He’s got a long history of abuse and coercive control. There’s a trail of victims, both men and women he lured into debts and used to get whatever he wanted.“And yes,” he added, “Hillary’s father was on that list of debtors. Which makes it highly probable she was forced into marrying Robert to keep her father alive, just like she said.”I stared out at the parking lot, my grip tightening arou

EMMA"Daddy, can you show us our room now?" Liana's voice cut through the charged air between Alex and me like a knife.I stepped back quickly, putting distance between us, my heart still hammering against my ribs. Alex let out a breath."Of course, sweetheart," he said, his voice slightly rougher than usual. "Let's go upstairs."The kids raced ahead of us, their footsteps echoing through the house. I followed behind Alex, trying to ignore the way his shoulders moved beneath his shirt as he climbed the stairs."This is it," Alex announced, pushing open a door at the top of the landing.The kids gasped in unison, and I couldn't blame them. The room was absolutely beautiful. Two twin beds sat against opposite walls, each with matching navy blue comforters and white pillows. There were built-in bookshelves filled with children's books, a desk by the window, and even a small reading nook with bean bags and soft lighting."I get this bed!" Liana squealed, launching herself onto the one clo

Immediately Alex's lips touched mine, it felt like the world had tilted on its axis. I was supposed to push him away immediately, but the sensations flooding through my body seemed to have short-circuited every rational thought in my head.Instead, I found my lips moving against his, melding and responding to his kiss like my body had been waiting six years for this exact moment.The feel of his mouth on mine was exactly like I remembered: insistent, and absolutely devastating. It sent an electric thrill racing through my veins that made my knees go weak and my heart slam against my ribs.Back then, Alex kissing me for the first time had been pure magic. Until he shattered my heart the next morning and accused me of drugging him two days later.The bitter memory hit me like ice water, finally snapping me out of my stupor. I shoved hard against his chest and delivered a slap across his cheek that sent his head snapping to the side."How dare you?" The words came out in a fierce whisper
