DANIEL BLACKWOOD MANSION ~ NEW YORK CITYMarco’s face went pale, but he quickly shook his head. “I didn’t.”Daniel’s eyes narrowed. “You didn’t?”“No, boss.” Marco swallowed hard and forced himself to remain calm. “I swear I didn’t sleep with Ariana. I only did what you asked me to do. I got close to her, gained her trust, and made her believe I cared about her. That’s all.”Daniel studied him in silence.Marco continued quickly, sensing that he needed to convince him before the situation became worse.“She was vulnerable, boss. She had just gone through the divorce, and she trusted me because I was there for her. But I never crossed that line. I wouldn’t do that to you.”Daniel’s expression remained strangely calm. “Is that what you’re going with?”Marco nodded. “Yes.”Daniel gave a quiet laugh. It wasn’t a friendly laugh.It was the kind that made Marco’s stomach tighten.“You really want to stand there and lie to my face?”Marco’s heart began pounding. “I’m not lying.”Daniel rea

DANIEL BLACKWOOD MANSION ~ NEW YORK CITY Marco clawed at Daniel’s wrist, desperately trying to free himself as Daniel held him by the throat.“You put your filthy hands on my wife,” Daniel hissed, his face twisted with rage. “I gave you one simple job, and you betrayed me by sleeping with Ariana.”“Boss… please…” Marco choked, his face turning red as he struggled to breathe.Daniel’s grip tightened. “How dare you?”Marco shook his head quickly, panic filling his eyes.“How dare you betray me after everything I’ve done for you?” Daniel demanded. “I trusted you, Marco. I gave you a place in my organization, and this is how you repay me?”“I didn’t mean to betray you,” Marco managed to say between breaths.Daniel leaned closer, his eyes burning with anger.“But you did.”Marco swallowed painfully. “Please, boss. I swear I didn’t mean for it to happen. Ariana told me she hated you. She said she wanted to leave you. She told me she didn’t love you anymore.”Daniel stared at him for a long

WENTWORTH CORRECTIONAL CENTER – CELL BLOCK D – EARLY MORNINGThe prison was quiet. The only sounds were the low hum of the lights and the occasional snore coming from the cells.Then Amelia screamed. "BLOOD! THERE'S BLOOD!"Her scream echoed through the entire cell block.Inmates jumped out of their bunks, startled and confused. Amelia sat frozen on her bed, both hands pressed against her stomach, Her face had gone pale, her jaw slack, her lips parted. Blood covered the sheets beneath her, spreading across the mattress. Her legs trembled, her knees shaking, as tears filled her eyes, spilling over and running down her cheeks in thin, wet streaks."Someone help me!" she cried, her voice cracking, her chin trembling. "Press the panic button!"Nobody needed to be told twice.The panic button was supposed to be used only for serious emergencies, but the sight of all that blood was enough to make everyone panic.Someone slammed their hand against the button, palm flat, arm swinging down h

WENT-WORTH CORRECTIONAL PRISON ~ NEW YORK CITYAmelia glared at Sophia, her face twisted with pain and anger. Even though she was clearly suffering, her voice was sharp.“Shut up, you pathetic excuse for a woman. You’re nobody. You always have been. The only reason anyone ever noticed you was because you were my shadow.”Sophia’s smile disappeared. “Your shadow? Please. I was the one with the money. I was the one with the power. You were nothing before Alejandro, and you’re nothing now.”Amelia let out a bitter laugh and held her stomach. “Funny. And yet, look at where you are now. Sitting in prison and carrying your gatekeeper’s bastard.”She looked around at the other inmates before turning back to Sophia with a cruel smile. “And me? I’m the top dog in this entire cell block. So tell me, Sophia. Who’s the nobody now?”The other inmates burst into laughter. Then someone shouted, “Gatekeeper’s bastard, Another inmate joined in. “Gatekeeper’s bastard!” Soon, the whole cell block was ch

DAMIEN’S MANSION – ENTRANCE HALL – MORNINGDamien stood in the large entrance hall, looking down at the little boy who wanted nothing to do with him. Leo’s small body was trembling, his eyes were red from crying, and his hands were tightly clenched at his sides.Damien had known this wouldn’t be easy. He had expected Leo to hate him, but seeing the fear in his son’s eyes hurt more than he had prepared for.He took a slow breath and tried to keep his emotions under control.“Leo,” he said gently, lowering himself slightly so they were closer to eye level. “I know I made mistakes. Terrible mistakes. I was influenced by my ex-wife, Katherina, and I regret listening to her. I regret the things I did because of her, and I wish I could go back and change them.”Leo stared at him without saying a word.Damien swallowed and continued, “I know saying sorry won’t erase what happened. I know I can’t change the past, but I want to try to make things right. I want to be your father. A real father.
