Chapter: Chapter 49: Betrayal, hurt, and heartbreakAfter helping Alexandre with his evening bath, Reina settled into the plush sofa as she lifted Alexandre onto her lap, his small frame nestling comfortably against her. With a warm smile, she reached for the book that lay on the table. She opened it; the familiar smell of paper and ink wafted up, and she began to read the story, her voice weaving through the words like a soothing lullaby in the cozy glow of the room.“Once upon a time, there lived a pig mummy and her three little pigs. One day, when the little pigs were hungry, their Mummy pig went into the kitchen to prepare their meal, but she found there was no food; she checked her wallet, and all her money was gone too.”“Oh, no…” Alexandre said, and Reina smiled and continued.“Not knowing what to do, Mummy Pig told the three little pigs they were old enough, so she sent them to go and begin their life. But told the three little pigs to be careful of the big bad wolf in the forest." At Reina's words, Alexandre snuggled into his

Chapter: Chapter 48: His conscience The weight of Enzo's choices bore down on him like a crushing tide. He had thought he could prevent the inevitable when he and his family moved to Mexico. He believed, in his naive hopefulness, that a fresh start in Mexico would shield them from the dark shadows of his past. They had moved from one house to another over the course of two years, each time feeling the suffocating grip of fear tighten around them whenever they caught the slightest hint of someone watching, lurking. Yet despite their efforts, Don Emilio had always managed to track them down, proving that some devils never truly rest.But one week ago, he went back to his other family back in Italy, only to uncover the shocking truth that Don Emilio had been training his 4 years innocent young son, wielding him as a weapon against his own blood. As Enzo stood there, heart racing as his little son held a gun pointed at him, he never expected that the moment would come when his boy would pull a trigger.But in a twist of f

Chapter: Chapter 47: 26 years agoThe moment Lucas entered his office and Victor saw him, his heart skipped a beat at his friend's appearance, twisting his insides with the weight of his betrayal.“Man, when did you arrive?” Victor asked, forcing a casual tone that didn't quite mask the turmoil brewing beneath the surface. His mind raced, grappling with the remorse that clawed at him for betraying the very man who trusted him.“An hour ago,” Lucas replied, settling into his chair. His mind racing to a memory he recalled on his way back, a memory from his childhood he had forgotten, a memory of him and his mom, together with his dad, visiting an amusement park he had seen in Italy, when he went looking for Reina. Lucas closed his eyes as a memory he had locked away in his mind for years began to play in his mind. ~ Flashback, 26 years ago ~“Mummy, why are you hiding me in here? It’s so dark, and I’m scared,” 5-year-old Lucas whimpered, his small voice trembling in the dim light as he watched his mother’s heart-wrench

Chapter: Chapter 46: My friend's woman~~~ Colombia. It was a few minutes past midnight when Victor woke up to the sound of his door creaking open. Heart pounding, he swiftly reached beneath his pillow, fingers wrapping around the cold, hard grip of his gun. With a burst of adrenaline, he rolled off the bed, flicking the switch, flooding the room with light, cutting through the shadows as it illuminated the figure standing in the doorway. He froze as his grip around the gun faltered as his breath caught in his throat, his eyes widening in disbelief at the unexpected sight before him. “Miss Bianca, what are you doing in my room naked?” Victor asked in a hoarse voice. Bianca smiled sultry and began approaching Victor, pulling off the flimsy robe she was wearing. “What is wrong, Victor? Don't tell me you don't want this as much as I do. I've noticed the way your eyes linger on me these past few days, filled with desire, each glance a silent confession of your feelings. I know you want us to start off where we ended last ti

Chapter: Chapter 45: More than my very existenceReina approached Xavier's dark ebony door, its smooth surface gleaming ominously in the dim hallway light. With a gentle knock, she hesitated, anxiety swirling within her, before finally turning the knob. However, as she pushed the door open, a jolt of surprise coursed through her when she found herself face to face with Alfonso, his posture tense and eyes wild. Caught off guard, Reina forced a smile, trying to mask her uneasiness. “I was coming to check if…,” she began, but Alfonso interrupted her, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “...if he was dead?” He finished, a manic grin stretching across his face, although it barely concealed the anger that simmered just beneath the surface. Reina’s face contorted into a frown as she absorbed his words. “Excuse me?” She retorted, indignation flaring within her. “Why else would you be here if not to confirm that you successfully killed him?” Alfonso shot back, his expression a mixture of mischievous delight and suppressed rage. “I w

Chapter: Chapter 44: You're not his mother?“You bitch! It's your fault he got bitten by a snake!” Yolanda shouted, her voice trembling with emotion. Reina, momentarily stunned, shook her head in disbelief. “No,” she whispered, trying to steady herself as she felt the weight of Yolanda's words bearing down on her. “Where is he? I need to see him!” With a sense of desperation, Reina pushed past Yolanda, intent on reaching Xavier. But Yolanda, fueled by anger and fear, shoved her back. Reina dropped to the floor, feeling lost and helpless in that moment. “You have no right to go in there!” Yolanda exclaimed. Reina stood up, determination coursing through her veins as she slapped Yolanda twice and yelled, “This is the last time you'll lay your hand on me, and you have no right to stop me from seeing Xavier. If you're his fiancée, I'm his fucking whore!!” “You shameless bitch!” Yolanda said, lifting her hand to deliver another slap. “Don’t hit my mummy, you bad woman!” cried a small voice, filled with determination.

Chapter: Chapter 112: Her Forgiveness "Susan, oh, I'm very sorry, you had to give birth to your son prematurely because of me, I'm sorry.” Lisa said as she sat in a wheelchair in front of Susan's hospital bed."Hey, hey, as you can see I'm fine. Thankfully, my son was not at risk, so he will be in the incubator for just a day. It wasn't your fault; you are also a victim like me," Susan explained with a smile."Thank you. Is the pain bearable?" Lisa asked,"Yes, it almost feels like my old self," Susan replied,"I'm glad. I was hoping to attend your baby shower, though." Lisa said and Susan responded with humor, "It's fine. To be frank with you, I was getting bored of the nine months’ journey," Susan said, and they both laughed."I'm glad I met you, Susan. You became the closest figure to a sister I never had." Lisa expressed her gratitude,"Same here, Lisa I'm very glad I met you," Susan replied.

Valerie's voice trembled as she spoke up, noticing the deadly aura emanating from Trey as he glared down at her with undisguised disgust. "Trey, please, I was forced into doing this," she pleaded, but Trey's expression remained cold and unyielding as he replied, "Don't worry, no one will be able to force you into doing anything anymore." With those words, he pointed the muzzle of the gun at Valerie's forehead. As he was about to pull the trigger, Valerie interrupted frantically, "No! Trey, please, I'm pregnant with his child. He will come after you if you kill me! He is listening to us as we speak." Trey's fierce resolve was unshaken as he smirked and he replied, "I won't fall for your fucking tricks again, t

"Diego, the madam has been taken," Brad's panicked voice came through the earpiece. He was trembling, the weight of responsibility heavy on his shoulders. How could he have allowed her to ride in a different car? If anything happens to the madam, the boss will kill him for sure. He couldn't believe that once again, he found himself in a dire situation. "What?!" Diego exclaimed, earning curious stares from everyone in the church. As he looked up from his seat, he was met with Trey's penetrating questioning gaze. He quickly pressed a button on his earpiece and relayed the message, "Boss, the madam has been taken." Without hesitation, Trey got off the altar and dashed out of the church with lightning speed.

He keyed the mic discreetly nestled in his ear and asked in a low, commanding voice, "All set?" And in a perfect unison, his men responded, "Yes boss." "Good.

Chapter: Chapter 16: You devil!“Are you pregnant?” Helena asked when Anna finished puking. Anna walked over to the sink, her movements unsteady as she turned on the tap, the cool water cascading down. She brought her hands to her face, rinsing away the remnants of her earlier ordeal, feeling the refreshing stream wash over her skin. Just as she stepped back, feeling slightly better, Helena gripped her wrist with a firm hold, her eyes fierce and demanding as she raised her voice. “I asked you a question! Are you pregnant?!” "Helena, you're hurting me,” Anna said as she tried to pull her arm from Helena. “You fucking slut, I will kill you and your baby! Only I can have Adrian's children; he's mine!” With a swift shove, Helena pushed Anna, the force catching her off guard. Her heart raced wildly in her chest, pounding like a drum as she lost her balance. She extended her arms out in a desperate attempt to brace herself, her palms crashing against the cool, hard floor instead. “Helena, you are crazy!” Anna yelled,

Chapter: Chapter 15: Her obsession “I'm leaving." Adrian took Anna's hand and dragged her harshly into his room and shut the door, pinning her against it. “I already told you you're not leaving until I decide what to do with the pregnancy.” Adrian muttered through gritted teeth as his finger moved to Anna's face, tucking the strands of stray hair behind her ear while holding her gaze. There was something about her piercing blue eyes that always drew him in. He wants to kiss her badly; being so close to her with her warm body pressed under his was messing up his senses. She fits perfectly into his body. Anna, who was searching Adrian's eyes, reading the emotions in them, broke his thoughts with her words. “It almost seems like you're just using that as an excuse to get me to stay here because you're in love with me!” Anna yelled in his face. Adrian's grip that was now on Anna's neck faltered, ‘in love with her? But he had promised Helena to never love another woman except her. He can't break that promise; Helena

Chapter: Chapter 14: Helena's schemeThirty minutes later, Anna stepped into the kitchen, confusion etched on her face from the events of a few moments ago. She was uncertain about Adrian's strange behavior toward her. Was it genuine affection, or was it merely related to the baby? After bathing her, Adrian dried her off and carried her into the bedroom, where he helped her get ready. He even blow-dried her hair. However, he then returned to the bathroom without a word. Anna sat on the edge of the bed, anticipation bubbling within her as she awaited his return, hoping for a conversation to clear her confusion. But as time ticked by and the silence stretched on, she grew restless. He came out of the bathroom and entered the closet, but was taking longer than expected in the closet, and the familiar pang of hunger reminded her that she had skipped supper the previous night. Deciding she couldn't wait any longer, she left. “I'm sorry,” Anna said when she walked into someone and a mug of coffee dropped onto the floor, sma

Chapter: Chapter 13: Tell me you love meAnna woke up to the sound of the bedroom door opening and saw Adrian walking in. The moment Adrian entered the bedroom and saw Anna, a wave of remorse washed over him. He had totally forgotten about her. His gaze moved to the cuff chains on the bedpost and back to her wrist. ‘Fuck, how could he have forgotten about cuffing her?’ He approached the bed intending to explain to Anna why he left, but she suddenly got up and stood in front of him. Before Adrian could speak, she held out her hands and said angrily. “Get your trash off my hands, and I'm out of your house. If you think I'm going to use the baby to get your attention, then be rest assured, I won't.” “What if I don't agree?” Adrian asked angrily; his eyes red shot. “It's my fucking sperm that's growing inside you!” he growled. "Well, sorry to burst your bubbles; it's not your fucking sperm; you are not the only man in my life. I have many available sperm donors.” Anna yelled, and Adrian smirked menacingly, towering over her a

Chapter: Chapter 12: Kidnapped Back in Adrian’s home, the maid, after cooking the meal, went up and found Anna cuffed to the bed. “Oh, Mrs. Adams.” She exclaimed softly as she placed the tray on the table and approached her, reaching for the cuff, but it was locked. “It won't open; I already tried. Why don't you check with the gardener? One of his tools might be able to break it,” Anna suggested, and she nodded and excused herself. A few minutes later, she came back with the gardener, and the chain was successfully broken, leaving the bracelets around her wrist. “Thank you, Thomas, Felicia,” Anna thanked them with a warm smile. “You are welcome, madam,” they said simultaneously. Thomas excused himself and left. "Come, madam, please eat something; the boss specifically asked me to prepare this for you.” Anna forced a smile and replied, "Thank you." Anna had just finished her meal when her phone started ringing. She stood up and got it from the bed and checked the ID; it was Patrick. “Hello, Patrick.”

He made his way toward the living room, and just then his phone began to ring again. He pulled it out and saw it was Michael calling.“What is it?” “Sir, I just noticed an email that arrived this morning. After four long years, Iris has finally replied to us. She mentioned that she will be at the company by noon to discuss the details of our endorsement.” “That's great; make arrangements for her arrival; I’ll be there shortly.” With that, he ended the call and tucked the phone into his pocket, a renewed sense of urgency propelling within him as he strode out, forgetting about Anna being cuffed to his bed.~~~ Adams corp. ~~~A-line corporation.It was a few minutes past noon when Michael and Linda, who were waiting in front of the company to welcome Iris, New York's most renowned fashion designer, exchanged g
