In Isabella’s BedroomJennifer was adjusting the delicate straps of her dark blue dress when the door creaked open. A maid stepped in, her eyes lighting up at the sight of her.“Miss Isabella, the party has started. Your father is waiting for you downstairs.”Jennifer’s heart raced. “Thank you. I’ll be down in a moment.”The maid nodded and left, closing the door softly behind her. Jennifer turned to the mirror, trying to steady her breathing.“Okay, you’ve got this,” she whispered to herself. “Just act like Isabella. How hard can that be?” She asked herself sarcastically.Just as she took a deep breath, there was a knock on the door. Jennifer tensed.“Come in,” she called, hoping her voice didn’t betray her nerves.Johnathan Bennett, Isabella’s father, entered. His face lit up with a warm smile.Johnathan had two children: James, his first son, whom he had with his ex-wife Bianca Brammer, and his daughter, Isabella, with whom he had his runaway wife, Faith.“There’s my birthday girl!

Near the BarAs the evening progressed, the guests continued to mingle. Alexander and Lucas found themselves near the bar, engaged in a quiet conversation.“I can’t believe we have to play nice with these people,” Alexander muttered, his eyes scanning the room.Lucas sighed. “I know, but we have to think about the bigger picture. Securing father’s legacy is more important than personal grudges.”Before Alexander could respond, James Bennett approached, a smug smile on his face.“Well, well, if it isn’t the Romano brothers,” James sneered. “Enjoying the party?”Alexander’s jaw tightened. “Yes, thank you.”James chuckled. “I’m surprised you showed up. Figured you’d be too busy mourning.”Alexander’s eyes flashed with anger. “Watch your mouth, Bennett.”James raised an eyebrow. “Or what?”Lucas stepped between them. “Alright, that’s enough. We’re here to celebrate.”Johnathan, noticing the tension, intervened. “Gentlemen, let’s not spoil the evening. Isabella is about to cut her cake.”A

Somewhere, in the heart of New York, a third power was rising from its slumber. Martin, the charismatic CEO of the LEE pharmaceutical Company, could be seen with his characteristic eerie smile. His eyes filled with excitement, as he was finalizing a deal."Yeah, yeah! Don't you worry about a thing, my friend," Martin spoke with a confident tone, his voice laced with a hint of excitement. "Our guys will make sure your merchandise is delivered safe and sound. We've got the finest piece, the finest drugs, and as a special token of appreciation from our esteemed organization, we've even thrown in a little bonus for you."As he ended the call, Martin closed his eyes, allowing himself a moment of retrospect. Memories of his humble beginnings flooded his mind, and a sense of pride washed over him. "Damn, I've come a long way," he thought, a gleeful smirk forming on his lips. "From being an illegal immigrant doing small-time robberies to becoming the CEO of my own multi-million dollar compan

James Bennett’s StudyJames paced the room, his jaw clenched, as his twin cousins, Mark and Richard, lounged on the leather couches, watching him with wary eyes.Mark broke the silence first. "James, you need to calm down. We need a plan, not just rage."James spun around, eyes blazing. "Calm down? My father is dead, Mark. And I know the Romanos had something to do with it."Richard leaned forward, his voice low and calculated. "Revenge needs to be precise, James. We can't just go in guns blazing. We need to hit them where it hurts."James stopped pacing and faced his cousins. "And where would that be? They're untouchable. Alexander, Lucas, Victoria, and Sophia. They're all protected."Mark smirked. "Not as untouchable as you think. Information is power. We need to find out their weaknesses, their secrets."James nodded slowly. "And what do you suggest? Spying? Infiltration?"Richard's eyes gleamed with a dangerous light. "Exactly. We need inside information. Someone close to them, so

People are saying we’re responsible for Johnathan Bennett’s death."Victoria nodded. "We need to clear our name. This could ruin us."Alexander sighed. "We need to stay calm. The Bennetts are grieving and looking for someone to blame. We have to be strategic."Lucas turned from the window, his expression grim. "Strategic how? They're not going to listen to reason."Alexander looked at his siblings, his eyes filled with determination. "We need to gather our own evidence. Find out who really killed Johnathan. And we need to be prepared for anything the Bennetts might throw at us."Sophia frowned. "But how do we do that? We don't even know where to start."Victo

Upon waking up, Jennifer discovered she was in a surreal world where reality and illusion were woven together seamlessly. Standing in a vibrant field, she breathed in the fragrance of blossoming flowers around her.

"Isabella, are you prepared for tonight's story?" the mother inquired, her voice calm and comforting. “Yes, Mama!

A Wedding Vow of Vengeance Chapter 124: Scorched Earth
The prison walls might have confined Marcus Lee’s physical form, but they couldn’t contain his vengeful spirit. Even from behind bars, he orchestrated a campaign of economic sabotage, a scorched-earth policy aimed at crippling both the Beckett and Romano empires.The first strike hit Beckett Enterprises. A series of damaging leaks, revealing confidential product designs and strategic plans, surfaced online. The company’s stock plummeted, and competitors pounced, eager to exploit the vulnerability.“What the hell is going on?” Emily Beckett, now at the helm of her family’s company, shouted into the phone. Her voice was tight with panic. “Our stock is in freefall! We’re hemorrhaging money!”Jenifer, on the other end of the line, tried to remain calm. “We’re looking into it, Emily. It looks like a coordinated attack. Someone leaked sensitive information.”“Coordinated? Who would do this?” Emily demanded. “We’ve got enemies, sure, but nothing like this. This is… calculated. Surgical.”“We

The Romano Tower hummed with activity, but beneath the polished veneer, a silent war was brewing. James Beckett, fueled by ambition and resentment, had launched his attack.Jenifer, still struggling to navigate the complexities of corporate life, found herself increasingly drawn into the conflict. The board meetings were no longer just confusing; they were tense, filled with veiled threats and subtle power plays."Something's not right," she said to Alexander one evening, pacing in front of the panoramic windows. The city lights seemed to mock her unease.Alexander, engrossed in a stack of documents, barely looked up. "What do you mean?""The numbers," Jenifer said, gesturing vaguely. "They don't add up. There are discrepancies, inconsistencies. It's like someone's deliberately trying to sabotage the company."Alexander finally looked up, his eyes narrowed. "Sabotage? By whom?""I don't know," Jenifer admitted. "But I have a feeling it's connected to your father's death. Someone wants

The board meeting had been a blur of jargon and power plays, leaving Jenifer feeling more lost than ever. Back in the penthouse, the city lights twinkled, mocking her confusion. She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was deeply wrong with Charles Romano’s death. The official story – a sudden heart attack – felt too neat, too convenient.“You’re quiet,” Alexander said, entering the living room. He carried a glass of amber liquid, the same one he always seemed to have in his hand after a long day.“Just… processing,” Jenifer replied, staring out the window. “That board meeting was like another language.”“You’ll learn,” Alexander said, taking a sip of his drink. “Or you can just look pretty and nod. Works either way.”Jenifer shot him a look. “I’d rather learn. But I’m also trying to figure out what happened to your father.”Alexander’s expression darkened. “The police are handling it.”“Are they?” Jenifer turned to face him. “Or are they just accepting the easy answer? A sudden
A Wedding Vow of Vengeance Chapter 121: Gilding the Cage
The penthouse suite at the Romano Tower was less a home and more a gilded cage. Floor-to-ceiling windows offered a breathtaking panorama of New York City, but Jenifer, trapped within Isabella’s body, felt more like a display piece than a resident.She stood awkwardly amidst the minimalist décor, a stark contrast to the cozy, cluttered apartment she'd once shared with Kain. The silence was deafening, broken only by the distant hum of the city below.Alexander entered, loosening his tie. “You seem… lost.”Jenifer bristled. “Lost? I’m standing in the middle of a room the size of my old apartment. How could I be lost?”He raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement flickering in his eyes. “A figure of speech, Isabella. Are you settling in?”“Settling in? I have a walk-in closet bigger than my first job. What do you think?” She crossed her arms, the silk of her borrowed dress feeling foreign against her skin.“I take it that’s a no.” Alexander walked towards the bar, pouring himself a drink. "Y

"Do you have the incantation?" Jennifer asked eagerly.Veronica nodded, pointing to the diary. "It's written here," she said, her voice filled with a mixture of excitement and apprehension. "But there's a warning. The ritual is powerful, and if performed incorrectly, it could have... unforeseen consequences.""What kind of consequences?" Jennifer asked, a shiver running down her spine."The diary doesn't specify," Veronica admitted, her voice grim.

Veronica sat opposite Isabella, a serious expression on her face. "So," she began, her voice low. "Tell me everything."Isabella hesitated, her fingers nervously tracing the outline of the Gemini Heart pendant resting against her chest. "It's... complicated," she began, her voice hesitant."I've dealt with complicated things before," Veronica replied, her eyes steady. "Try me."Isabella took a deep breath. "My name isn't Isabella," she confessed, her voice barely above a whisper. "It's Jennifer. Jennifer Clarke."Veronica raised an eyebrow, a flicker of surprise crossing her face. "Jennifer?" she echoed. "But... you look exactly like Isabella.""That's because... we switched bodies," Jennifer explained, her voice trembling slightly.
