BRIARWOOD SCHOOL *****
A red Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class stopped in the parking lot. The car door opened, and a pair of Chelsea boots stepped out, catching the attention of the crowd outside.
Isabella emerged from her red car, wearing her uniform: a white shirt, a black and red flare skirt, black pop socks, Chelsea boots, and a black jacket with the signature "B" for Briarwood Academy.
" Briar make way, the queen is here!
"Welcome back, Isa!"
" I love your boots, Issa!"
" I love your hair! Can I get you coffee every morning?"
" Can we be best friends, Isa?"
Isabella walked into the enormous building, her chin held high, a proud and confident smile on her face. She was their queen, and she knew it.
"Isabella, I missed you," Chappell exclaimed, coming to hug her. Chappell was one of Isabella's three friends, known for her natural red curly hair that Isabella loved.
"I missed you too. Where are Gloria and Abby?" Isabella asked.
"Gloria can't make it today. Her curling iron exploded this morning, and she won't come to school without straightening her hair. Abby has a pimple and can't be seen with an imperfection during the first week back," Chappell explained, rolling her eyes.
Isabella nodded and opened her locker to store her book. A picture of a shirtless hot guy greeted her, posing seductively by biting his gold necklace.
"You still have a crush on Elijah? You've been trying to get his attention for two years, but I don't think he cares," Chappell remarked, peeking into Isabella's locker.
"Actually, things might change this summer. He texted me during our holiday after seeing my bikini shoot. He said I looked hot," Isabella blushed, closing her locker.
"Are you serious?" Chappell's eyes widened.
"I swear! He even invited me to watch their game tomorrow evening at the Cyber house," Isabella said with a proud smile as they headed to the classroom.
"Damn! Did he ask you to bring your friends? Can you take me? I'm a huge fan of Ace," Chappell begged.
A guy was sitting in Isabella's usual spot. She dropped her Louis Vuitton backpack on the table, and he quickly moved away without being told.
"You're such a queen, Isa," Chappell said in amusement, taking the sit beside her before a classy female teacher walked in, and the noisy class fell silent.
"Good morning, everyone. I hope you had a great holiday?" she asked.
"Yes, Miss Abigail," the students replied.
"Good, because we have a new student joining us," Miss Abigail announced, prompting the new student to enter. Isabella couldn't believe her eyes.
" Wow, she's so pretty!
" I love her heels and socks!
" Her lips are amazing; I think I might be a lesbian now!
" New girl, can you share your skincare routine?
" I'm single!
Isabella was confused. She was used to receiving these kinds of compliments.
"Thank you for the warm welcome, everyone. My name is Valeria Ruiz, and I believe we'll have a fun time together," Valeria flashed the sweetest smile anyone had ever seen.
" Damn, my heart just skipped a beat!
" She's the prettiest girl in this school I've ever seen!
Isabella looked back in shock at the person who made that statement.
"Are you blind? I'm literally the prettiest," she said with a stormy gaze.
"No need for comparison. Everyone is pretty. Let's give Valeria the warmest welcome. Isabella, kindly move to the back and sit with Brett, while Valeria can stay with Chappell," Miss Abigail instructed.
Chappell gasped, and Isabella's eyes widened.
"You can't be serious, Miss Abigail," Isabella protested.
"Do I look like I'm kidding?" Miss Abigail gave her a stern look. Isabella angrily packed her bags and moved to the back.
Valeria walked to Isabella's seat and dropped her Chanel bag on the table, causing another stir.
"You're using the latest Chanel bag? Isa has always wanted one, but her dad won't buy it for her," Chappell gasped.
"Oh? This is nothing for me. I have a collection of Debbie Wingham bags in my closet," Valeria boasted.
"Wow, I'm Chappell. I love your socks," Chappell introduced herself.
"And I love your red hair," Valeria winked.
Isabella watched, clenching her fists so tightly she almost broke her pen.
"It's nothing serious. Chappell is just being friendly," Brett said. Isabella slowly turned to him.
"What gives a poor, stupid scholarship back bencher the right to interfere in my business?" she asked angrily.
Brett looked down at his book.
"Good, and never speak to me again. I'm sitting here by chance. Tomorrow, you won't even get to smell my body lotion, so enjoy it while it lasts," she rolled her eyes and crossed her legs angrily.
Brett stayed silent, taking a quick glance at her and shaking his head

"Boss, there's a little issue," Diego said, walking into Alejandro's office. Alejandro was on a business call, so Diego waited until he finished.
"You were saying?" Alejandro asked.
"Mr. Hugo canceled. He's no longer buying the Greek House from us," Diego reported.
"Why?" Alejandro's eyes darkened.
"He switched sides to Marcus Global Ventures because Mr. Rafael offered him better deals," Diego replied.
"Damn," Alejandro muttered a silent curse. "This isn't the first time Rafael has snatched clients from me. Submit all our building plans; we need to re-strategize."
"Yes, boss. I'll do that right now," Diego nodded respectfully before leaving.
Camila walked in.
"What are you doing back here?" Alejandro asked without looking at her, engrossed in paperwork.
"Do you expect me to sleep in the sketch room? I've gone through all the building plans," she rolled her eyes.
"And what do you think?" he asked.
Camila was stunned. "Are you asking me?"
"Is there anyone else here?" Alejandro shook his head.
"They're good but a bit cliché and basic for a huge company. You might need more professional artists," she suggested.
"Would you like to volunteer for that post?" he asked.
"If you want me to," she shrugged.
"I talked to your father yesterday, and he's okay with you working here as my wife. I'm giving you the title of an architect," he handed her a folder containing a contract.
"Seriously?" Camila took the contract and began reading. "You want me to work seven hours every day with no break except Sundays?"
"You think I married you so you could warm my bed?" He raised an eyebrow.

"I don't even work like this in my father's company," Camila frowned.Alejandro smirked, moving closer to her. He cupped her chin, making her look into his eyes. "This isn't your father's company, wifey. Your husband loves to work and loves hardworking women too," he pressed, walking back to his desk to get his telephone."Sandra, report to my office," he ordered. Sandra walked in. Her office was opposite his, but Alejandro preferred using the telephone. Even if someone stood by the door, he would still use the phone."My wife will join the architects. She called some of our work basic and cliché. I want you to keep a strict eye on her performance. Can I trust you with that?" he asked, giving Sandra a serious look."Yes, Mr. Ruiz. You can trust me," Sandra smiled.Alejandro smiled briefly and walked to Camila again. He gripped her chin and planted a kiss on her lips, making her eyes widen. She wasn't expecting that."Behave, wifey," he warned before leaving his office."Let's go, Cami

9Camila slowly turned to him.“Am I not allowed to quit anymore?” she asked, her eyes full of surprise.“Your father did not tell me you're a quitter. How can you quit after one day of working?” Alejandro faked a confused look.“I hate you!” Camila gritted her teeth and turned back to the sketch room, but Alejandro’s voice stopped her.“Call it a day, Sandra,” he ordered.Sandra looked pained. She still wanted to punish Camila some more, but she dared not disobey Alejandro.“Yes, Mr. Ruiz,” she gave a respectful bow. “Good night, Mrs. Ruiz. Remember to come early tomorrow,” she gave Camila a sweet smile, but Camila did not buy it.“I will take my leave now, Mr. Ruiz,” Sandra greeted Alejandro goodbye before walking away from the office.“Are you hungry?” Alejandro then asked Camila.She stared at him but did not reply.“Get prepared and meet me at the car outside. We are going to have dinner at a restaurant, and I don’t want you to waste my time,” Alejandro rolled his eyes and walked

10Camila’s eyes were already teary.“I didn’t get married to you just for marriage’s sake. I practically bought you because your father sold you to me. And he hasn’t told you, but I will. He borrowed a huge sum of money from my family to fix his upcoming project before he had an accident. He said he would give me anything, and I said I wanted you. I don’t think your parents told you that,” Alejandro smirked.Camila shook her head, refusing to believe it. How could her parents sell her? And come to think of it, how did Alejandro come from nowhere and offer to help them from bankruptcy? How had she never thought this through?“Go and change, Camila. Five minutes is all you get,” Alejandro ordered and called another worker. “Lead her to the dressing room,” he said.The worker took Camila along, and she could not argue. Camila put on the stripper’s wear and could not look directly in the mirror. She was practically naked. The bra was half-covered, showing half of her present, and the g-s

11"I see what's going on. You badly want me to punish you, and I will help you with that," Alejandro leaned back in his chair."All of you leave and don't come back until I say so," he ordered the maids, who promptly obeyed.Camila watched the maids leave from the corner of her eye. Her heart skipped a beat as she wondered what Alejandro would do, but she remained glued to her chair. No matter what happened, she had decided not to show any sign of intimidation in front of him.When no traces of the maids could be found, Alejandro stood up from his seat and moved in front of Camila. She stared back at him with a daring look. Suddenly, he grabbed her by the neck and roughly pulled her up.Camila tried to process what was happening or where they were going until her back harshly hit the wall."You've been so stubborn. I should put you in your place," he said, forcing one of his hands into her mouth. Despite her resistance, he made sure his hand went deep into her throat. She struggled t

13EVENING, CYBER HOUSE **The lights were dimmed blue, filling the room with a crowd holding posters, colored lights, and banners of the Cyber Boys' pictures and cute messages. "Go Cyber Boys!" "You can do it!" "I love you, Elijah!" "Bring back an award as always!" "I breathe for you, Cyber Boys!" "Cyber Boys!"

14 "Why are you still awake at this time?" Alejandro asked without turning to look at her."Not like it's any of your business, but if it will make you feel better, I came to drink water," she replied and walked to the fridge while Alejandro's lips curved into a smirk."Why are you awake at this time?" Camila asked while pouring water into her glass.She heard him let out a throaty chuckle."You really want to know that?" he asked. She wasn't looking back, but she could tell he was already looking at her. She pushed the glass to her mouth and tried taking a sip.His footsteps came close to her, and she suddenly felt his shadow at her back. His strong arms went to her waist and pressed her back close to him."You've been on my mind all day," he whispered."I... have?" Camila sounded nervous and curious at the same time."Hmm," he sniffed her neck, and her body stiffened in his arms. "I can't stop thinking about this morning and that face you made when you were about to c*m. I want to

15 Camila yawned tiredly as she worked on a sketch. So many papers were on her desk, and more were still coming. Her phone rang; it was her mother, and she quickly answered, having not spoken to her in so long."Camila, my dear, how have you been?" Sofia asked from the other end."I'm good," Camila replied, squeezing another piece of paper and throwing it on the floor."How is marriage treating you? I hope Alejandro isn't giving you a hard time?" Sofia asked worriedly."He is giving me hell, and I hate it here," Camila wanted to tell her mother, but she kept it to herself for reasons she couldn't explain."Everything is fine, Mom. How is Dad doing? I hope he's not falling sick again?" Camila asked about her father.Sofia sighed."Mom?" Camila called again."He's sick, Cami. He couldn't go out today because his condition has worsened. He's sad because the company is really suffering," Sofia sniffed, trying to hold back her tears."Everything will be fine, Mom," Camila could only say.

I hope you had a good night," Diego greeted, holding an envelope in his hand. "I won’t take up much of your time. I just came to drop this."Diego placed the letter on Alejandro’s desk."I promised that once I helped take Rafael down, I’d leave right away. Now that I’m finally reunited with my family, I—""Look at these three dining options and tell me which one looks best," Alejandro interrupted, turning his laptop toward Diego.Diego blinked in confusion.

98Alejandro paced back and forth in the hospital hallway, his anxiety growing with each passing second as he waited for the doctor to emerge from Camila's ward."You should sit, Alejandro. She's going to be fine," Sofia said softly, her voice filled with reassurance.He glanced at her but didn’t reply. Just then, the door creaked open, and the doctor stepped out. Alejandro’s face lit up with a mix of worry and hope."Mr. Alejandro Ruiz," the doctor called."What's wrong with Camila, Doctor?" Alejandro asked, his voice laced with panic."She's going to be a mother, and you're going to be a father. She's four and a half weeks pregnant," the doctor announced with a warm smile.Alejandro froze."What? Can we see her?" Isabella asked eagerly."She's sleeping right now, but you can visit her once she wakes up," the doctor replied before walking away.Isabella and Sofia hugged each other joyfully, their faces glowing with happiness. They turned to Alejandro, who still looked stunned."Come

97SOME DAYS LATERThe alarm blared endlessly, and to Camila, it sounded like wedding bells. But instead of excitement, it brought a heavy sense of dread—a nightmare she wished she could wake up from.“Miss, it’s time,” the maid said softly, gently tapping her shoulder.Camila groggily opened her eyes. A wedding gown stood prominently on a mannequin, and hairstylists and makeup artists were already bustling in the room, preparing for the day.“Congratulations, ma’am, you’re getting married today,” they greeted her in unison. She forced a smile in response, though her heart weighed heavily.Dragging herself to the shower, Camila let the water cascade over her. She tried to gather her thoughts but couldn’t stop the questions swirling in her mind. How did it come to this? How did everything go so wrong?Realizing she had been in the bathroom longer than expected, she quickly turned off the shower and wrapped herself in a robe. As she stepped out, the room was empty—the dressers had gone.

96"Yes, I’m pregnant, and I came here to see George’s family. It’s a long story, Mom. Please, let me explain later," Lucia replied, cutting the call despite her mother’s protests.She met George, who was chatting with his mother."Lucia, my dear, you’ve been standing for a while. Would you like to sit?" Juliana asked with her attractive Polish accent."I’m good," Lucia replied."No, dear, please sit," Juliana insisted, guiding Lucia to a chair. "Pani Karolina, please bring Lucia some tea," she instructed, and Karolina appeared moments later with a steaming cup of tea."Hang in there, Mrs. Lucia Williams. The food will be ready in a moment," Karolina said kindly."Thank you," Lucia smiled and turned to face George."Darling, can I talk to you for a second?" she asked."Sure, I’ll excuse you both," Juliana said, stepping away.George sat beside Lucia.

95FEW DAYS LATER**A few days had passed, and a lot had happened. Alejandro left Camila with Rafael and returned to his company. The place was desolate; nearly everyone had resigned, and he had lost most of his contracts but couldn't do anything about it.It was the usual, uneventful day. Alejandro stood in front of his window, staring into nothingness. The company was empty. He had no idea where to start or how to convince anyone to return, but that wasn't what was truly bothering him.He still couldn't believe he wasn't with Camila. He had signed the divorce papers and left her with Rafael. Even now, he still questioned whether he had made the right decision. He wasn't a fool; he knew why she said what she did. Rafael probably had her family under his control in some way, and Alejandro wouldn't be selfish enough to let him hurt them."Boss," a familiar voice called. Alejandro didn’t bother turning to look at the person."You should be lucky I haven’t had you arrested yet you still

94"Is she really worth it, Alejandro? Everything you’ve worked so hard for—your company—does it mean more to you than her?"Alejandro glanced at Camila, then at the documents, torn between two impossible choices."You're wrong, Rafael! I didn’t just think about it—I worked hard for that company. I deserve everything. Every damn thing!" Alejandro yelled, his eyes reddening with rage."No, you didn’t, you bastard! Everything belongs to me! Grandpa was supposed to give it all to me, but I don’t know why you came along and ruined everything!" Rafael shouted, then turned to Camila."He didn’t tell you much, did he? He never told you how he barged into my life, stole the affection of my family, and convinced them to change the will," Rafael said angrily."I didn’t have anyone change anything!" Alejandro shot back. "Everything happened because apparently, everyone was okay with it. I did more good for your family than you’ll ever admit."Even though Camila was gagged, her confused and curio

93Camila felt her head pounding as she struggled to open her eyes. She realized she couldn’t move her hands or legs and felt an overwhelming sense of discomfort. Her eyes finally fluttered open, and her heart nearly stopped.She was tied to a chair, positioned dangerously close to the edge of a steep cliff. Before her, several men knelt on the ground, their faces familiar from earlier."Baby, you're awake," Rafael said, stepping closer to her. He gently touched her face, his fingers brushing the bruise beneath her eye."Does it hurt?" he asked softly.Camila remained silent, too terrified to respond, her mind racing to guess what Rafael had planned."Which one of these men hit you?" Rafael asked, his tone icy as his gaze shifted to the men.Camila hesitated, her eyes slowly scanning the group. The man in the middle looked petrified, but she reluctantly pointed at him.Rafael smiled, ruffling her hair affectionately before grabbing the man by his collar and yanking him to his feet."W

92 George turned, his face lighting up with a mixture of joy and worry.“Baby,” he greeted, walking over and giving her a quick peck on the lips.Perri scoffed audibly and looked away.“Why are you up so early?” George asked, concern lacing his voice.“I’m not that early,” Lucia said, pouting slightly.“You should still be in bed, resting like the princess you are,” he said, touching her stomach gently. “Are you hungry?”“You’ve been feeding me so much lately, George. I might lose myself,” she teased.George smiled. “You could never lose yourself in my eyes. Look at your skin—you’re glowing already,” he said, leading her to the kitchen.“So, what are you up to?” Lucia asked as they entered.George sighed, setting water to boil. “I’ve been thinking about what your dad said—about whether I can provide for you and the baby—and I’ve made a decision.”“What decision?” she asked curiously.“I’ve always wanted to be a chef, and I’ve been saving for years. I’m planning to open a small roads

91 THERESA'S HOUSE***“Careful,” George said, holding Lucia’s hand as she stepped out of the taxi.“I’m fine, George. I can manage,” Lucia replied, smiling softly. Since discovering her pregnancy, George had been overly protective, not even letting her handle simple tasks.As they entered the house, George began, “Mom, we’re—” but stopped abruptly when he saw Lucia’s father seated on the couch. Instinctively, he positioned himself in front of her.Mr. Landon smirked. “Hiding my daughter from me, George? You didn’t think I’d find you?”“I’m not going anywhere with you, Dad. I’m surviving just fine without you,” Lucia said through clenched teeth.“Surviving? Look at yourself, Lucia! Your clothes, your skin—you’re barely holding on,” Mr. Landon retorted, disgusted.“I don’t care! I look better than ever, and I’m staying here,” Lucia snapped, standing her ground.“You don’t belong here, Lucia. It’s not too late to come back home—where you belong,” Mr. Landon insisted.“If she believes st
