“What's the meaning of this, Mother?” Mirabel snapped. It was a question she had grown used to asking every single time. “You called me all the way here just to taunt me again and make me sponsor your fucking facial appointment? I’m sick and tired of this. I give you enough money already, yet the whole of Brooklyn says you’re sleeping around. What exactly are you doing?” Mina rolled her eyes at her daughter. “And you believe them over your own mother?” she scoffed. “All because I asked for money to get a facial done? Can’t you see how good my friends look? I have a daughter working with a billionaire, yet you still haven’t trapped him. Are you even a woman at all?” The words hit Mirabel hard. “I only send you that money for Susan and Jacob,” she said shakily. “I can’t take care of them right now. I have work, Susan is still too young, and Jacob needs constant attention. He’s your son too, yet you’ve refused to spend a single penny on him.” Her voice cracked. “Why is it always

Maria looked toward Peter, hoping to see a happy expression on his face, but the hurt and anger in his eyes stopped her cold.She forced another smile at the crowd. “Thank you, everyone. Please enjoy the rest of the party.”Adrian stepped off the stage and walked straight to Peter.“You look so hot,” he whispered against his ear, glancing at the empty glass in his hand. “But slow down before you get drunk.”Peter only nodded, swallowing down the ache in his chest. If he spoke now, he was afraid everything bottled inside him would spill out in front of everyone.Maria approached and leaned close to Adrian, speaking to him in a soft voice.Adrian’s expression turned sour.Without saying a word, he reached for Peter’s hand and gently pulled him along, making it seem as though they were taking him away to honor him for being the best model of the night.Maria glanced back at Bella apologetically. They were supposed to spend time together tonight, but this had become more important.“It’s

Chelsea sat in front of the mirror as her mother placed the last piece of jewelry around her neck. “You look beautiful,” Linda whispered. “Melinda!” Ronald’s voice came from downstairs. “Get going. I’ll meet you all at the venue.” “Go ahead, Mother,” Chelsea said. “Just give me a moment. I need a few seconds to myself.” Linda hesitated for a second before nodding. “Alright. But don’t take too long, your father will be angry.” With that, she left the room. The second the door closed, Chelsea grabbed her phone and switched it on. Her heart pounded as she checked if what she had placed there…Her escape from this marriage was still intact. Chelsea felt relieved when she confirmed it was. She quickly slipped the phone back into her purse and stared at her reflection. Now all she had to do… was figure out how to carry out the plan. ****** It was 4 p.m., and the wedding guests were already trooping in, waiting for the bride and groom to arrive. Ava stood beside Bella

Bella blinked in confusion.“Pregnant? How is that possible? She said she couldn't have children. She tried in the past, and nothing happened. What do you mean she's pregnant? She's forty-five.”The doctor looked annoyed.“I am a specialist, Ms. Bella. I wouldn't lie about something this serious.” He adjusted his glasses. “And why are you saying forty-five like it's the end of the world? As long as a woman is still having her period, pregnancy is possible.”Bella stared at him for several seconds, completely speechless.“How is she supposed to survive this?” she finally asked. “She has heart disease. She can't carry a baby on top of that.”“That's exactly why I called you in here,” the doctor replied. “I need you to convince her to terminate the pregnancy.”Bella fell silent.What did Ava even need a child for?And Nolan certainly wasn't a reliable father.If he was capable of releasing a
