I gazed at the gloomy mansion, the still night taunting the turmoil within me. What had brought me to this point? How did my life end up like this, trapped in a complex network of lies, authority, and manipulation? Upon marrying Luca, I anticipated challenges due to his mafia status, but I was not prepared for this. I wasn't expecting how he would overwhelm me, how he would engulf me with his passion. I believed I could control him and suppress my feelings, but whenever I attempted to guard my heart, he easily shattered my defenses.

“Why save me, Matteo? Why not let me die like you were told?” Because I found him breathing under a pile of bodies and something in me call it habit doesn't let me finish what fate started. I don’t say that. Instead I lean forward. “Because you were breathing. Because there’s use in keeping someone who knows too much.” He lets the silence stretch, thick and heavy, the kind that presses against your chest and makes breathing deliberate. His thumb slides across the TV screen, flipping channels with a slow, deliberate precision, as if rearranging the images could rewrite the past. “You, me, Damian… blood ties,” he says, voice low, deliberate. “How do I know you don’t have another motive?”

He set the trap and she goes for it. "It might make a difference." She hesitated and tried to appease for losing her temper by being remorseful. "Why will it make a difference, the triplet's status doesn't concerned you, why are you so interested?" Diego see through her lies.and finally realized that he is just being use by the very woman he trusted his heart. "W...well..." By the way Zeinah was stuttering and hesitating on her reply, Diego suspects that she is not true to her feelings for him and had an ulterior motives for acting so. his brows knitted trying to dig deeper with her.

I screamed it all out at once, taking hungry gulp of breaths. “That was because I was never the killer!” Her strengthless limbs suddenly shoved me away from her, causing me to lands on my butt, tears pooled in her face, no it must be my imagination, but I was proven wrong when she yelled back, “I didn't kill Derek!” No, it can't be…she's doing it again, pretending to be the victim, but I'm never falling for it this time! I picked myself up immediately and throws myself at her, grabbing her neck and pinning it against the chair, “Don't you dare Denys it! Don't you dare say you didn't do it!”

He looked completely stunned. “For almost five years, I mourn your death—our child’s death. And all this time, you were just here... hiding from me?! Tell me, Jillian. What did I do to deserve this betrayal? Not once—but twice?” Jillian closed her eyes briefly, trying to summon strength. Sake didn’t even bother asking if Shawn was his son. But Jillian knew—he already knew it. There was no denying it anyway. Shawn looked just like him. “I don’t owe you any explanation. Where’s Shawn? We’re going home,” she said firmly.

I pretended to be nonchalant when I questioned him, "Why does Yvonne's super hemostatic agent formula look exactly like mine?" Chris tried to hide his fluster as he answered with indifference, "It must be a coincidence. After all, both of you studied medicine, and you were classmates too." I hid the sarcastic smile on my face because I knew that Chris was the only one who knew that I was researching this agent besides my mentor. My research on the agent could be found on the computer in my study, and it was not difficult to figure out how it had leaked. I had been researching this agent for Chris. As the Don, Chris was kidnapped and tortured by a rival family two years ago, which caused him

“Do you really think I’m a fool? I know what you did. You found out Genesis Clinic kept my samples on file. You bribed Dr. Thorne to swap them. You wanted a golden ticket a way to tie the Santoro name back to the De Luca fortune.” I stared at him, stunned. “You think I wanted this? I went to that clinic to save my sister. I wanted an anonymous couple who would take the baby and disappear so I could fix the mess you made of my family.” “Don’t lie to me,” he growled, stepping into my space. Heat radiated off him. Cedar and expensive Scotch filled my lungs. “Your father was a thief and a murderer. The apple didn’t fall far from the tree. You’re a thieving vessel, Isabella. A beautiful container

Your soul's match. And I was giving mine away. No. They were taking him. Like they'd taken everything else. I heard cars pulling up outside. Voices. Excitement. The Alpha was here. My mate was here. And he would never know I existed. I pressed my hand to my chest. The bond was there, buried under chemicals and lies. It pulsed. Ached. Screamed. He was close. Downstairs, I heard Isabella's laugh. Light. Musical. Fake.

"Serena, you are making a scene. Let's go." I brush off his hold, running off the platform and toward the garden of flower arrangements that surround the casket. Without thinking, I throw it open. Revealing it to the crowd. "See?" I say, gesturing to it, "It's empty! Because this is all fake!" I turn around to verify, staring into the casket, which actually holds a body, wrapped in cloth. Before I can stop myself...my fingers tease the white cloth. I had to see...I have to see. It's not her. It can't be her.
