Andy's hands were still smeared with blood from applying pressure, his fingers trembled as he stared at them blankly.She'd lunged in front of him at the last second; now there was a bullet lodged in her arm instead of his chest.Gino had done this, Andy didn’t just suspect it, he knew. The bastard had missed his mark by inches.Amelia and Thiago burst into the hallway behind them with Lucia’s father close behind.Andy!" Amelia yanked him into a crushing hug before shoving him back to arm's length like she couldn't decide whether to comfort him or yell at him.Mr. Dino cut straight through it all: "What happened?" His voice was sharp enough to slice steel."It was fast," Andy mumbledThen, surprise of all surprises, the man turned to him with actual concern: "You alright?""Yeah," Andy lied automatically before catching himself, Lucia was still in surgery when he spotted a doctor approaching.The surgeon barely slowed down as he delivered his verdict: "Clean hit, missed bone and arter

Amelia dialed Sebastien. He answered, his voice was groggy.“Well, look who it is,” he muttered.“Sebastien, did I wake you?” she asked.“Nah, it’s fine. Who’s that, Sebastien?” a voice piped up in the background.“Oh, you’re busy. Call me when you’re not,” Amelia said, forcing a smile.“What’s up?” he asked.“Why is Thiago in Peru, Sebastien? I need to know.”Silence.“Let me guess…a woman?” she pressed.“Amelia, he’s not exactly subtle, is he?”“Just tell me what you know.”“He met her when you were gone, broke it off when he found you, but she was pregnant. Things…escalated.”Amelia exhaled sharply. “I don’t blame him for that, but if he kept it going…”“Sorry, Amelia. I thought you knew.”“Of course I didn’t. Last to know, as usual. Thanks. And don’t tell him I called.”“Amelia…” but she’d already hung up.Amelia pulled on her fitness pants and headed to the living room. “I’m going for a jog. Need to clear my head,” she announced, then turned and walked out. Bella and Lucas exchan

Alessandro got on his horse and sprinted after her, but she was already far ahead, weaving through the vines. She came to a halt and quickly tied the horse to a tree. Amelia sank onto the grass in the shade. He dismounted, secured his horse, and settled behind her, wrapping his arms around her. She leaned her head against his shoulder as he kissed her neck. They sat quietly, soaking in the view.“Alessandro, I won’t see you again… I’m sorry.”“What? Why, Amelia? I thought we…”“Oh, I like you, don’t get me wrong. But I’ve got to deal with this mess I’m in first. Sort things out.”“Problems don’t just disappear, you know. Let me help you. Don’t push me away,” he murmured, his lips brushing her neck.She smirked. “Keep talking like that, and you might actually win me over.” They laughed.“I can’t, Alessandro. It feels like everyone’s judging me. Except maybe my parents, they’re the only ones who get it.”“Since when do you care what people think? Screw them. All I care about is my famil

"Can we talk?" Thiago asked.She nodded, a small smile playing on her lips as they stepped into the bedroom. His hand moved toward her, and she smacked it away sharply."Don’t even think about touching me," she snapped. "Sign the papers andget out of my life for good.""Amelia, mi amor, come on," he said, his voice dripping with false sweetness. "Sleeping around isn’t going to hurt me. I still love you."Her hand lashed out again, another slap landing hard. He caught her wrist and shoved her against the wall, but she pushed him back with equal force."I’ll do whatever I want," she hissed. "You mean nothing to me. Just sign the damn papers, Thiago.""No," he said coolly. "By our laws, you’re stuck with me for four more years because of Isabella."She let out a bitter laugh. "Are you serious? I’d rather rot than stay with you. Go crawl back to your mistress.""Jealous, huh? That means you still care," he taunted."Keep dreaming," she shot back. "Whatever feelings I had for you, your mo

Andy was practically vibrating with nerves when Lucas handed him a drink. “Dad, I love her, so why do I feel like I’m about to pass out?”Lucas chuckled. “Relax, kid. When she walks out and locks eyes with you, your brain’s going to short-circuit. Trust me.”“Wait, are you talking about me or you right now?” Andy shot back, and they both laughed.Bella adjusted Lucia’s veil, smiling warmly. “Lucia, you’re stunning. My son doesn’t deserve you.” A knock interrupted them, and Dino stepped in.“My beautiful daughter,” he said dramatically, then paused. “Actually, I’ve changed my mind. I’m not giving you away.” They all laughed.He turned to Mrs. Jackson, kissing her hand with a flourish. “Looking as radiant as ever, my dear.”“Alright, enough stalling,” Dino said, taking Lucia’s arm. “Let’s get this show on the road.” Bella trailed behind them.She slipped into the seat beside Lucas, who took her hand and kissed it softly. Her eyes lit up, and she grinned at him.As Lucia walked down the
