Alex’s POVEverything about Emilia’s body language told me she didn’t want us getting to the bank. I noticed the way her fingers kept twisting together, the forced smiles when I tried to ask her a question, and the quick glances she threw at me like she was measuring how much time she could waste. She had brought a driver with her, introducing him as Patrick. “He knows the town well and can drive us to the bank,” she said. When I told her I could use a map, she laughed. “I don’t want to stress you,” she added. “Let him drive.”Something about the whole situation rubbed me the wrong way, but I decided not to argue. If she wanted a driver, fine. We settled into the back seat while Patrick took the wheel. Then, halfway down the road, Emilia suddenly spoke again. “There’s a boutique nearby,” she said. “I need to stop there for a moment. I bought some clothes on credit and I should pay for them before the debt piles up.”I didn’t like the delay, but it sounded harmless enough. Patrick

Rosa’s POVWhen the ploice car stopped in front of the station and I didn’t see Alex’s car behind us, I assmed he had been delayed. But after fifteen minutes passed, worry began creeping into my chest. The officers had taken my phone the moment we arrived. Now they were trying to force me to sign a statement. “I need a lawyer,” I said firmly when I saw the document. “It’s just a statement,” one of the officers replied casually. I shook my head. The paper they had given me contained only a few meaningless lines…and the page in front of me was clearly marked as page three of three. “Can i see the rest of the pages?” I asked. “They’re in the Sheriff’s office,” the officer said dismissively. Something was wrong. Very wrong. And Alex still hadn’t arrived. “I want to make a call,” I said. But they refused. “You’ll get your phone after you sign the statement.”My stomach twisted. I knew how statements worked even though I hadn’t been to a police station before. You didn’t sign the

Rosa’ POVThe cops moved toward me to snatch my phone.But it was too late. At least, I hoped it was.One of them slapped me across the face. “I told you not to call anyone.”The blow stung sharply and my eyes watered. “You’re all going to pay for this,” I said, my voice shaking with anger. “I know my stepmother is involved in this. But you won’t get away with it.”“You made this difficult for yourself," the cop replied coldly. “You should have signed the document and quietly left. But you chose to be stubborn.”“Quietly leave?” I scoffed. “I wouldn’t sign a document I know nothing about. Let me go. My fiance is coming for me.”He grabbed my arm roughly and yanked me to my feet. “Stand up!”My heart pounded and I felt dizzy from not eating all day. I knew exactly what they were trying to do. Alex was on his way, and they didn’t want him to find me here. They were trying to move me before he arrived. And they couldn’t do that if I hadn't signed that stupid document. I had no idea how

Rosa’s POV We stopped at a resort. It was beautiful and seeing it made me wish I hadn’t chosen to stay at the ranch in the first place.Our luggage was taken care of while Alex led me to our suite.“It’s wonderful,” I said when I saw the room.But I was too tired to truly appreciate the beauty around me. All I wanted was to lie down and wait for the next two days to pass. Alex sat at the edge of the bed with a towel draped over his neck and a small bottle of oil in his hand.“You need a good massage,” he said. “I know your body must be aching.”Terribly.I nodded softly. “Thanks, Alex,” I murmured. “A massage would really help.”I closed my eyes as his hands worked slowly over my feet, then my legs, and up my thighs.Normally, his touch would have stirred me. But tonight, the warmth of his hands only relaxed me. The tension melted from my body, and before I knew it, I drifted into sleep.I didn’t wake until late into the night. Alex was asleep beside me.I reached for my phone and ch

Emilia’s POVWhen I saw the workers that morning, I believed a miracle had finally happened.Everything had begun the previous afternoon when a young man arrived at the ranch with Catarina. He introduced himself as Salvatore Moreno.He claimed to be Johan’s lawyer and according to him, he had gone to the station and arranged Catarina’s release on bail.“Rosa called me,” he explained. “I had just returned to town when she told me Johan Castillo was dead. That’s why I’m here.”At first, I didn’t think it would be good news.Perhaps he had come about more debts. Or worse… perhaps Johan had sold the ranch before his death.But Salvatore Moreno had something entirely different to say.“Johan Castillo, God rest his soul,” he continued calmly, “had several investments. And I believe he would have wanted the money used to restore the ranch.”I straightened immediately. “Did you say money?”He nodded.“Quite a lot of it. Enough to return this ranch to its former glory.”For a moment, I couldn’
