I love her as much as you do."He chuckled, a hint of tears glistening in his eyes. "I know, but you've been more than a stepmother. You've been a guiding force, a source of love and stability in her life. I can't express how grateful I am."I pulled him into a gentle embrace. "It's been a joy raising Heaven with you. She's a

Every step I took in the desperate search for her felt like an eternity, my mind haunted by the possibility of a future without her. But against all odds, a lead emerged, a beacon of hope that guided me to an old, desolate warehouse near the seaside.With my gons by my side, we cautiously approached the abandoned structure. The air hung heavy with tension as I gripped the handle of my gun, determined to rescue Heaven from the clutches of the darkness that had consumed Eden.Entering the warehouse, my heart pounded in my chest as I navigated through the eerie silence. The creaking of the floor beneath my feet was a haunting melody, underscoring the urgency of the mission. And then, there she was – tied to a chair, her head bleeding.

Panic surged as I realized I was bound to a chair, my wrists secured tightly. The air was heavy with the salty scent of the sea, a cruel juxtaposition to the fear gnawing at my core.In the oppressive silence, the approach of a presence sent shivers down my spine. The footsteps drew nearer, and when the mask covering my eyes was suddenly ripped away, I squinted against the sudden onslaught of light. As my eyes adjusted, the familiar contours of Eden's face came into focus."Eden?" I stammered, confusion clouding my thoughts. "What's happening? Where am I?"Eden's gaze, once warm and familiar, now held an intensity that unsettled me. He spoke with a conviction that sent chills down my spine. "Heaven, I can't let you marry Chase. I love you, and I won't stand by and watch you make a mistake."The shock of his words hit me

As we sat together on the flight back to Italy, the hum of the engines providing a backdrop to our conversation, I couldn't help but feel a mix of gratitude and apprehension."Heaven," I began, breaking the silence that hung between us, "I still can't believe you're willing to go through with this. It means a lot to me."She looked at me with a reassuring smile, her eyes reflecting a blend of determination and compassion. "Chase, we're in this together. I want you to have a chance at a healthy life, and if this is what it takes, then I'm all in."I nodded, a sense of warmth filling me. "I appreciate that, Heaven.

"Can we talk for a minute?"I nodded, closing the door behind him. "Sure, what's up?"Gaven took a seat on the couch across from me and cleared his throat. "I know this might be difficult, but I have to ask. Are you sure you want to go through with this wedding?"I felt a knot form in my stomach as I avoided his gaze. "Yes, of course. Why would you even ask that?""Because I know you, Davina. And I know how much you loved Raiden."My heart ached at the mention of his name. "I still do love him," I admitted quietly.

Chapter: FOURKHLOE ROSWELL. It was too easy to escape, and I found it suspicious. He let me go without a fight, and his guards conveniently looked the other way. I could tell from the way some of them stared at me as I ran by that they had seen me, but were pretending not to. This act from them made me realize something, there is no way I can escape from here, Anthonio rules this city and has men everywhere. I kept on looking back and no one was coming after me, giving me more reasons to return as there was no use to run away, he will find me, as a matter of fact I’m certain he’s watching me right now. The mafias are powerful, and I know how they roll so I know it was hopeless trying to run. So I turned around and walked back toward the mansion, the gates were instantly opened by a guard, he smiled at me, clearly proving my points. “Take me to your master.” I said to the guard, he shook his head in agreement. I walked behind him and into the mansion, we approached a dimly lit room and the guard

I knew I had to have her, so I immediately sent a threat to her father to ensure that she becomes my wife within 24 hours. I scared him so badly that he even sent her down to Turkey without second thoughts. I pity the poor woman, her own father wasn’t even willing to fight for her. “What you are doing is so wrong Anthonio, how can you force her to marry you knowing very well that you love someone else?” My friend, Daniel said, he was very worried about her. “You are not only ruining one woman’s life, but two, this is wrong, Anthonio.” he pressed. “Can you keep shut?” I seethed.

Chapter: TWOKHLOE ROSWELL. My head hurt real bad as I struggled to open my eyes. I do not know for how long I have been unconscious, but I can tell that it has been for a while. As my eyes fully opened, I looked around and I realized I wasn’t in my room, as a matter of fact, I wasn’t in any room I remember. I struggled to sit up and noticed the room was painted white and there were lots of paintings on the wall. I couldn’t even spot a door. Which left me wondering how I got in here. I tried my best to stand up, but I couldn’t, I was very weak. “Is anyone there?” I used my last strength to yell, my head was throbbing and my feets were very weak. I didn’t hear a word, no creaking, nothing, but a woman suddenly walked into the room from a passage. I stared at her as she walked toward me, fear gripping my heart. “W…who are you?” I questioned, I could tell she was a nurse from the outfit she was wearing. She looked kind, but the fact that I didn’t recognize her made me worried. “You have to rest,

But I wasn't ready to listen to him; I was hell-bent on getting back my diamond from them. Disregarding Diego's warning, I shot at their car, busting all their tires, and signaled to my men to train their guns on them."Out of the car, now!" I commanded, my voice seething with anger. They all obeyed, "Throw your weapons away, now!" I said and they did as told. They threw their weapons and went on their knees. I glared at the man in the back seat, he didn't budge, he was still seated and staring at the scene before him."Are you mad? Come out of the car now!" I yelled at him, but he wasn't budging, so I proceeded to get him out. I opened the door, and my eyes fell upon calm but daring ones - his eyes calmly scrutinized me. I grabbed him by the collar and pulled him out. He seemed like their leader, and nothing like the other rough-looking men. He was dressed in a black tight sh
