Bella’s POV.It had been exactly seven days since everything happened.In that time, I had taken back everything my real mother built, everything Aurora had stolen and claimed as her own. Businesses. Properties. Investments. Every last piece was now under my name. It had happened so fast it almost didn’t feel real, as if someone had pulled a cord and Aurora’s empire had collapsed in a neat, quiet heap.Even though Aurora is dead, I finally got what I deserve. I didn’t bother picturing the signing process anymore. The truth was simple: she no longer had power over me, or over what my mother left behind. And for the first time in my life, I had the resources and freedom to choose what to do next.I knew exactly what that would be. Part of the funds would go toward my dream—a hospital. Not just any hospital, but one that would carry my mother’s name, built for people who didn’t have access to good healthcare. The rest would be invested carefully with Liam’s help.Liam had been there thro

Bella’s POV.The meeting with Liam’s business partners had gone better than I expected. Not everyone said yes, but a few of them did, and that was enough to start moving forward. They shook my hand, looked me in the eye, and told me they wanted to be part of the hospital foundation. I could already picture the building standing tall, my mother’s name carved into the stone.Construction had already begun. We bought a piece of land, a good, open space with room for parking, gardens, and all the things I wanted. I didn’t want to just fill an empty building. No. I wanted to build this hospital from the ground up, shaping every hallway, every room, so it would be exactly how I imagined.I visited the site often. Sometimes, Liam came with me. He had an eye for details I might miss, things about the structure, the equipment, or the workers’ pace. He’d walk around slowly, his hands behind his back, pointing at things, telling me what was fine and what needed changing. It made me feel more con

Bella’s POVLiam’s hand stayed at the small of my back as we walked down the stairs together. His touch was warm, steady, like it always was when he wanted me to feel safe.The girl was already there, sitting comfortably on the couch like she belonged in his living room. Her long legs were crossed, and she had that calm, self-assured smile some women wore when they knew they looked good.“This is Bella,” Liam said as we stopped in front of her. His tone was casual but firm, like he was making a point. “My girlfriend. The one I told you about.”I gave a small smile, my eyes never leaving hers.“And Bella,” Liam went on, glancing at me, “this is Lily, my friend.”Friend. The word hung in the air like it was supposed to mean something harmless.Liam looked between us. “You guys didn’t meet in a good way the first time, but I hope you can get along.”Lily tilted her head, her lips curling into something polite but sharp. “Yes… we didn’t exactly get off to a good start. But I think we can

The next morning, the house felt strangely lighter. I didn’t notice it at first, but as I walked down the staircase, the sound of Lily’s heels clicking against the marble floor was gone. Her constant voice, sharp and mocking, wasn’t echoing down the hall. Instead, the house was quiet, almost peaceful.I spotted one of the guards carrying her suitcase outside. Through the window, I saw Lily standing by the black car, arms folded, lips pressed tight as she tapped her manicured nails against her arm. She looked furious, but there was nothing she could do.She didn’t even glance back at me. She slid into the car, slammed the door, and the vehicle pulled out of the driveway.For the first time in weeks, I breathed deeply. It wasn’t freedom yet, but it was a piece of it.That evening, I sat across from Liam at the long dining table. The golden chandelier above us glowed softly, throwing warm light on the plates in front of us. I could tell he was in a calm mood, his posture relaxed, his eye

When I opened my eyes the next morning, the first thing I saw was the ring. It sparkled faintly against the soft morning light that slipped through the curtains, sitting perfectly on my finger, as if it had always belonged there. For a while, I just lay there, staring at it, tracing the smooth band with my thumb, trying to convince myself this was real.I was engaged.Liam was still asleep beside me, his chest rising and falling steadily. His arm was heavy around my waist, pulling me close even in his sleep, like his body refused to let me go. I smiled softly, leaning my head against him. I remembered last night, the way he had taken me out, the way he had looked at me as if I was the only woman in the world, and the moment he had knelt down and asked me to marry him. My heart squeezed all over again.I had dreamed of love like this once, but I had buried that dream long ago. Life had been cruel to me, too cruel. Yet here I was, loved in a way that still felt too big for me to hold.“
