~Eseperenza’s POV~ The new Ricardo mansion looked… familiar. Not because it looked like the old one. Because it was built on the same lies that destroyed lives. The tall iron gates opened slowly as Diego’s car rolled inside the property. The house in front of us was large, modern, expensive. Everything a wealthy family would choose when they needed to prove they hadn’t fallen. But it lacked something. History. The old mansion had carried my mother’s laughter in its walls. Every corner of that place had once held a memory. And this place… It was just a replacement. A very expensive reminder that they no longer lived in the home they had stolen from me. Diego parked the car near the entrance. The moment the engine turned off, I saw them waiting. Of course they were. They would have found out we were on the way. Evangelina stood at the front steps like she owned the entire property, one hand resting on her hip while the other held her phone lazily. Claudia stood

~Diego’s POV~ The past couple of days have been disturbingly amazing. I have no idea why Ricardos haven't fought back or raised their voices already. At first, I thought the government investigation made them lay low. But it turns out they are waiting to do something bigger with Mendozas. What? I have no idea. But it's surely going to shake us up. Because they stayed mum last time, Nicole appeared in our lives. She was their most powerful weapon against us. Though Esperenza smartly trapped her in her own web, we still can’t take risks anymore when I know I have Asher’s whole future on line. Nobody gives a damn about Liam. He is purely mine and Esperenza’s, away from our enemies until they want to use him against us. But Asher… Everyone just wants Asher because he is the Mendoza heir. And somehow, the transfer of the property and all assets isn't reversible. It wasn't a will. It was legal transfers to secure the future of Mendoza from its rivals. Nobo

~Esperenza’s POV~ The first thing I felt was warmth. Not from the blanket. From him. Diego’s arm was wrapped around me, firm yet relaxed, like even in his sleep, he knew exactly where I belonged. For a moment… I didn’t move. I just lay there, listening to his breathing. To the quiet rhythm of his heartbeat beneath my cheek. To the silence that didn’t feel heavy anymore. My fingers slowly moved, tracing the fabric of his black t-shirt, then his chest beneath it. A small smile formed on my lips. This… This feels different. I've touched him several times but the steadiness and warmth I feel from him hit different today. It doesn't feel rushed or forced. It just feels… ours. It feels the same as I had been feeling since I found out I was going to be a mother again. At first, I didn't know if I was ready or not. But when the result of the last test sank deep into me, I realised how much pain I was in. I wanted to live the time I lost with Asher. Those sleepless nights. Loud cr

~Esperenza’s POV~ Valentina’s phone rang for the fourth time. We all gazed at each other. “She must really care about Evangelina,” Jonathan chuckled. “Indeed she does,” Diego hummed. Juliana called me several times after Evangelina’s arrest. When I didn't pick up any of her calls, she turned to Valentina and since then we've been receiving calls from Juliana and Claudia. My so-called father also called. But again, I didn't bother to pick up their calls. For once I have solid proof against one of them. I'm not letting it slip out of my hands and let that snake on lose again. I know her father will do everything in his power to bail her out but with her best man testifying against her and giving his statement in the courtroom too, especially when the judge was known by Diego… There was no way Evangelina was getting out before completing fifteen years in jail. Diego not only charged her for my kidnapping and attempt to murder, but also for misbehaving with Asher and m

~Diego’s POV~ She wasn't in a state to keep her body stable. Yet she was reacting in ways that she had no idea about. Her sleep was making her utterly sexy. Her eyes were closed. Soft moans weren't leaving a second to escape from her pretty, widely open mouth. I could only imagine taking my dick inside of her mouth and touching the deeper lengths of her mouth with it. And I’ll do it all. First, I need to give my girl what she asked for. She spread her legs widely before asking. Her dress was already above her waist, exposing her flat belly that would soon turn into a baby bump. My grip tightened a little around her thighs, and a loud moan escaped her mouth. “Ahh… Please…” “Please what, princess?” I whispered as I placed a kiss on her inner thigh. “You…” Her sleepy state was making her sound like a baby. A baby begging for more and more, not knowing how much was required to be in the right state of her mind. “You like when… I beg…” she breathed heavily.
