Hostile Takeover

“Oh my God! Ariana! What are you doing here? Pregnant bestie of mine!” Amelia yelled, running toward her and wrapping her in a tight hug.Ariana laughed, catching her breath. “Amelia! I finally made it. The baby’s been a handful lately, so I couldn’t come sooner.”Ariana hugged her tight back, laughing. “Wow… is this how much you missed me? You’re squeezing me so hard I can barely breathe!”Amelia rubbed her back gently, smiling. “Sorry, bestie… I just can’t help it. I’ve missed you so much. Seeing you again… it makes me want to cry.”She pulled back slightly, wiping a tear. “How’s my little Leo? Is he doing okay at school?”Ariana’s eyes softened. “He misses you every night. I read him a story, and he hugs his little toy. Can you believe it? But he’s actually doing really well at school, even with you in prison and everything that’s happened.”Amelia nodded, her throat tight. “That’s my boy… strong, just like his mom.”Ariana smiled, though it was tinged with sadness. “Yeah… he’s a s

War Over The Twins

DANIEL’S PENTHOUSE – MORNINGDaniel paced the living room, holding a half-filled glass of Martell. His voice was sharp, bitter.“Lucas, do you know what that woman did? That so-called mother of my kids?”Lucas looked up from the couch, raising an eyebrow. “You mean Katherina your baby mama? What happened this time?”Daniel scoffed, slamming the bottle on the table. “She’s not my baby mama, she’s just the woman who happened to give birth to my children. But you won’t believe this, she gave our kids away to her aunt, Jessica.”Lucas frowned. “Okay… but maybe that’s a good thing? If she can’t handle them, at least her aunt can. Jessica’s responsible, right?”Daniel shot him a glare. “Responsible? You think that makes it better?” He took a long drink, then slammed the glass down again. “Wait till you hear the next part.”Lucas leaned forward. “What part?”“She signed permanent adoption papers, Lucas. Permanent.” Daniel’s voice cracked with fury. “The kids don’t belong to me anymore. Not t

Three Minutes To Hell

As they stepped into the elevator, Lucas glanced at him. “You sure you’re ready to face Aunt Jessica though? That woman doesn’t play.”Daniel smirked. “Let her try me. All I want are my kids. No drama, no deals just my blood.”Lucas shrugged, pressing the elevator button. “Well, I hope she doesn’t slam the door in our faces. You know how she feels about the Blackwoods.”Daniel’s jaw tightened. “She can hate the Blackwoods all she wants. But today, she’s gonna see a father not a last name.”The elevator dinged open. Daniel adjusted his jacket, his expression hardening. “Let’s go get my kids.”NEW YORK PENITENTIARY — CAFETERIAThe cafeteria buzzed with chatter and the clatter of metal trays. Amelia took a bite of her lunch and smiled faintly. “This food actually tastes good. I didn’t expect prison food to taste this decent,” she said, eating quickly.Roxy nudged her with a grin. “You’re damn right. The food’s been awful for weeks, but today it’s actually giving.”Clara leaned closer and

Return To Claim

Outside the penthouse, Daniel’s black Mercedes purred to life. Lucas slid into the passenger seat, glancing over as Daniel gripped the wheel tightly.“Bro, you’re driving like you’re about to start a street race,” Lucas said with a smirk.Daniel didn’t smile. “I’m not racing, Lucas. I’m reclaiming what’s mine.”The city lights blurred past as they sped toward Aunt Jessica’s neighborhood a quiet, old money part of Brooklyn. When they pulled up, the house stood tall and neat, surrounded by a white fence and blooming roses.Lucas whistled. “Damn, she’s living good. Maybe she’s not gonna hand over those kids so easily.”Daniel cut the engine and stepped out, his face unreadable. “She doesn’t have to like me. She just has to listen.”They walked up to the porch. Daniel rang the bell once firm and steady. A few moments later, the door opened, revealing Aunt Jessica, arms crossed, eyes sharp as glass.“Daniel Blackwood,” she said coolly. “I was wondering how long it would take you to crawl h

Under Her Control

NEW YORK PENTITNARY PRISON Amelia’s heart pounded in her chest. She stared at the paper on the table, then back at Vivian’s cold, steady eyes.“You’re insane,” Amelia said, her voice trembling with anger. “You’d really kill a child just to get some damn company shares?”Vivian gave a little shrug. “You should know by now, Amelia power makes people do crazy things.”Amelia leaned forward. “He’s an innocent boy! He has nothing to do with this!”Vivian’s voice was soft but sharp. “That innocent boy is your weakness. And your weakness is what always destroys you.”Amelia shook her head firmly. “I won’t sign it.”Vivian smiled and checked her gold watch. “You’ve got two minutes left.”Amelia’s hands clenched into fists. “You’re bluffing. Zaiel’s not going to shoot anyone. You don’t have that kind of power.”Vivian’s smile widened. “You still don’t get it, do you? Everything you used to control your company, your friends, your safety it’s all mine now. You’re nothing but a woman in an oran

A Price On Her Freedom

NEW YORK PENITENTIARY PRISON Amelia stepped into the superintendent’s office, still handcuffed, confused and irritated.“Yes sir, you asked to see me? What’s going on?” she asked.The superintendent pointed at the chair without looking up.“Sit down, Stone.”Amelia sat down, trying to steady her nerves. “Okay… now talk. Why am I here?”The superintendent finally looked at her. “A transfer just came in. You’re being moved to the toughest women’s prison in New York.”Amelia blinked. “You’ve got to be joking. I don’t understand. Why? Who would even order something like that?”He shrugged. “I don’t know. That’s what I’m trying to figure out. Who did you piss off? Whoever it is… they’ve got some dangerous connections.”Amelia’s eyes narrowed. “And how am I supposed to know you’re telling the truth? You could be lying just to get money from me. Everyone here knows I’m a billionaire. So… where’s the proof? Who exactly ordered this transfer?”The superintendent sighed, leaning back in his ch

The Transfer that Almost Happened

NEW YORK PENITENTIARY PRISON BLOCK A The guard escorted Amelia back to her cell.Her handcuffs were removed, and the heavy door slammed shut behind her.Roxy looked up from her bunk immediately.“Stone… damn. You look like you just saw the devil.”Amelia let out a shaky, humorless laugh, sinking onto the edge of her bunk.“Worse,” she muttered, burying her face in her hands. “I saw someone… worse than a ghost.”Clara straightened up, eyes narrowing.“What? What happened? Why are you shaking like that?”Amelia’s whole body trembled as she leaned forward, voice barely above a whisper.“The superintendent tried to transfer me… to Manchester Iron Gate.”Roxy’s jaw practically hit the floor.“Manchester? Girl… that place eats women alive. Who did you piss off to get a transfer like that?”Amelia lifted her head, tears stinging her eyes.“Alejandro.”Both women froze. The room went silent.Then Clara whispered, almost breathless.“Oh… hell. That Alejandro? The one with the tattoos and the

Sprinkles Spills And A Stranger

Sprinkles Ice Cream Bar — New York CityAriana balanced her very pregnant belly with one hand and held tight to Leo’s small wrist with the other so he wouldn’t dart off.The cashier smiled. “Hi, what can I get for you today?”Ariana exhaled. “One iced caramel coffee, extra shot. And a small vanilla ice cream for him.” She nodded at Leo.Leo jumped up and down. “With sprinkles! Please, Tía!”Ariana rolled her eyes playfully. “Fine, with sprinkles. Don’t make a scene.”The cashier tapped the screen. “That’ll be thirteen dollars.”Ariana handed over the cash, leaning on the counter to catch her breath.Leo peeked at her belly. “Tía… the baby’s moving again?”“Yes,” Ariana muttered with a small smile. “Probably wondering why his mom is still standing here instead of sitting down.”Leo giggled. “Maybe he wants ice cream too!”Ariana laughed softly. “I’ll see what I can do, little guy.” She rolled her eyes. “If this baby comes out asking for sprinkles, I’m blaming you.”Leo burst out laughi

Dirty Deals Behind Bars

Her stomach sank.“Oh God… Amelia,” she whispered.Leo squinted at the envelope. “Tía… is it from mamá?”Ariana bit her lip and tore it open. Inside was a formal notice. She unfolded it carefully, her hands trembling.Leo peeked over her shoulder.“Authorization notice,” Ariana read aloud slowly. “An inmate named Amelia Stone has requested approval of a transaction two hundred thousand dollars.”Her heart pounded.“Amelia…” she whispered, voice shaking.Leo tugged at her shirt. “Tía? Is mamá okay?”Ariana knelt to hug him close. “I don’t know, mi amor… but something very serious is happening. We have to help her.”Leo frowned, worried. “Will she be okay?”Ariana kissed Leo’s head. “We’ll make sure she’s safe. No matter what.”Leo nodded seriously. “We have to help her, Tía. She’s really brave.”Ariana took a deep breath and grabbed her phone. “Okay… let’s do this. I have to move fast.” She tapped in the bank details, hands trembling.“Leo, stay close, alright? I’m calling mamá,” she s

The Truth About Jessica

KATHERINA APARTMENT ~ NEW YORK Katherina barely opened the door before Daniel shoved his way inside, anger all over his face. Lucas slipped in behind him, silent and awkward.Katherina stepped back, stunned.“Daniel? What the hell are you doing here? I told you not to come to my apartment again.”Daniel scoffed, dropping his jacket on her chair like he owned the place.“And I told you to stay away until you learned how to control your mess. But clearly you didn’t listen.”Katherina stared at him, her jaw tightening.“So you came all the way here just to insult me again? And why is Lucas with you?”Lucas lifted a hand awkwardly. “Hey, Kat…”“Hi, Lucas,” she replied, forcing a smile before snapping her attention back to Daniel.“Alright, Daniel. Talk. What happened this time? And before you start yelling like you always do, did you visit the twins? Did you take the picture I asked for? If you did, show me.”Daniel let out a sharp, bitter laugh.“Wow. You really think I came here for pi
