Karina studied Anita's expression, detecting a hint of strain behind her facade of composure. "That's a relief," she replied, offering a warm smile. "I'm glad to hear she's doing well."

Anita nodded, grateful for Karina's understanding. "Thank you for watching over her," she said sincerely. "We appreciate your support."

Karina nodded in return, her heart heavy with concern for Lilly's well-being. As her phone buzzed, she glanced down to read the message, then looked up at Lucas with a regretful expression. "I should head home now," she announced, her tone apologetic.

Anita's response was brisk. "Yes, you should," she agreed tersely.

Despite the tension, Karina managed a polite smile. "Goodnight, Anita," she said, trying to soften the atmosphere.

Amira nodded silently and retreated to the room, leaving the hallway quiet.

Karina turned to bid Lucas goodnight, but he intercepted her. "Let me take you home," he offered, his concern evident.

Karina shook her head, declining his offer

    Grandma Lila and Kayla joined the rest of the Algernon family in the living room, their eyes fixed on Aidan who remained lost in thought."Okay, that's enough!" Cruzita yelled, breaking the tense silence. "I demand to know what's going on now!" She commanded, turning to Xander. "Xander?"Xander shook, feeling a bit panicked under the weight of her voice. He straightened up and took a few steps forward, saying, "I think we should start preparing to leave this place."Wally's brows furrowed and Cruzita's face formed a grimace before she hurled an angry question. "Are you crazy or something?" She spun to face Kayla. "What's wrong with your son, Kayla?" She fumed. "Can't he just keep quiet for once and let the poor boy speak? Could you please stop being so hot-headed, Cruzita? You're intolerable," Grandma Lila voiced her complaints before sitting down. "Let Xander speak.""What do you mean, mother-in-law?" Cruzita turned to glare at Xander. "He's saying we should start preparing to leave

    Karina's smirk widened as she observed the shock still evident on Cruzita's face, as well as the others'. Aidan's disbelief turned to anger as he accused Karina of orchestrating the entire situation. "This is all a setup, isn't it? You're just trying to mess with my head!" Karina's smirk remained firmly in place as she responded calmly. "I anticipated you would say that, Aidan. That's why I came prepared." With a snap of her fingers, she signaled for someone to enter the room. Aidan's eyes widened in recognition as a bald man strode into the room. He remembered him as the individual who had given him the money. His heart sank as he realized the gravity of the situation. With a single look from Karina, the man didn't waste any time, his voice cutting through the tense atmosphere. "Ma'am here was the one who generously provided you with financial assistance, Aidan. But if you can't repay what you owe right now, it's best you and your family vacate this house immediately." Aidan's mi

    Aidan's mind raced as he weighed his options, knowing the gravity of the decision before him. "Can't we manage there…?" he began, but Cruzita cut him off with a firm shake of her head."No," she asserted in a strong whisper. "It's been over 20 years. The building might even collapse soon. Talk to her. Please."Aidan's gaze flickered to Karina, uncertainty clouding his features. He knew he needed to talk to her, to find a way out of this mess. But as he met her eyes, he couldn't shake the feeling of shame that washed over him. How could he face her after everything that had happened between them?He took a deep breath, steeling himself for what he knew would be a difficult conversation."Karina, please," he began, his voice pleading. "Give us time to sort this out. We can't just pack up and leave in such a manner...""Such a manner?” Karina interjected. Her expression hardened, and she took a step closer to Aidan, her eyes flashing with anger. "What about when you kicked me out six yea

    Aidan arrived at the Everhardt Corporation, his heart pounding with anticipation as he made his way to the CEO’s office in the sprawling company building. Almost reaching Karina's office, he was met by her secretary, who greeted him with a polite smile."I need to see Karina," Aidan stated, a sense of urgency in his voice.The secretary's expression remained courteous as she asked for an appointment. Aidan's frustration mounted as he explained that he hadn't made one but had spoken to Karina recently."I'm sorry, sir," the secretary replied sympathetically, "but I haven't received any message from her regarding your visit."Aidan's attempts to reach Karina by phone proved futile, each unanswered call fueling his growing agitation. He sent messages, hoping for a response, but the silence from Karina's end only added to his frustration.After waiting for what felt like an eternity, Aidan approached the secretary once more, his tone more insistent this time. "I need to see Karina urgentl

    Karina's lips curved into a mocking smile. "Oh, Amira is so lucky to have you defending her," she purred, her words laden with sarcasm. Aidan, however, was focused on the task at hand. "You can file a case against Amira for attempted murder," he continued, his tone resolute. "But first, I need you to give us time. You took our house under my nose and took us unaware. My family can't leave in the next 24 hours,” he pleaded, his voice tinged with desperation as he stared at her, willing her to understand. Karina locked eyes with him, her expression unreadable as she considered his request. “So, Mr. Algernon, what do you seek?" Karina's voice dripped with smug satisfaction as she observed Aidan's discomfort. She enjoyed seeing him so hopeless and helpless. “I came to ask for more time to get the money and return it to you," Aidan responded, his tone laced with desperation. “Hmm, I guess I can consider it if you show some signs of seriousness." Karina's smirk widened as she gestured t

    “What's this?” Cruzita's voice cut through the tension in the room as she held up the document, her brows furrowed in confusion.Aidan remained silent, gesturing for her to read it.Cruzita's eyes scanned the papers, her expression shifting from confusion to anger. “No!” she exclaimed, crumpling the document and tossing it aside.Wally stepped closer, concern etched on his face. “What's wrong, Mother?”Cruzita shook her head, her frustration evident. “This is absolute nonsense!” She shot a pointed glare at Aidan, who met her gaze with a somber expression.Xander picked up the discarded document and began to read it aloud, his voice trembling with disbelief.“That's outrageous!” Wally interjected, his voice tinged with anger. “We can't agree to these absurd terms, Aidan.”“Then consider yourselves unwelcome guests and get lost,” Karina's voice rang out from the doorway, causing everyone to turn and look at her as she entered the room.Karina came to a stop behind Aidan, locking eyes wi

    Despite what was going on, Grandma Lila still couldn't accept anything detrimental to Karina. "Cole, do not say such things," She reprimanded her. "Aidan did what was right and humane...""But what about her, Mother?! She is demanding that we be her servants. Is that humane?!" Cole seethed."Oh, my ex-father-in-law, you have no right to speak about what is humane or inhumane," Karina stated nonchalantly, further fueling his disdain for her."That is enough, Karina," Aidan exclaimed, raising his voice. "Do not disrespect my father."Karina swiftly turned and fixed him with a gaze. "If you all cannot adhere to my terms, then you should leave my house to avoid further embarrassment and disrespect. Depart before noon tomorrow or I will make your lives unbearable...""You can't possibly do that!" Amira interjected, her voice cutting through the tension. Karina chuckled and turned to face her, a sly smile on her lips. They both started approaching each other. Amira and Karina stood face to

As she reached the stairs, relief flooded through her, and she let out a heavy sigh. However, her moment of respite was short-lived as Kayla ascended the stairs, her presence like an unexpected obstacle in Amira's path.Their eyes met, and in that fleeting moment, a silent exchange passed between them. Amira's gaze held a mixture of resignation and uncertainty, while Kayla's expression betrayed a hint of suspicion.Without a word, Amira turned away and continued down the stairs, her departure from the house shrouded in an air of unresolved tension.Amira's phone buzzed just as she reached for the door handle of her car.

Karina called out desperately, "Sophie! Sophie!"Anita's expression turned concerned as she watched the scene unfold, her eyes flickering between Karina and Sophie. “I’m doing you the honors because I’m a mother too. Use this moment well and say goodbye properly to your daughter.” She signaled to the man, who dropped Sophie down and the other went and untied Karina.

Juliana returned, her face pale as she informed them that Lilly was ready.Lucas sneered at Anita. “Where are your men? They should’ve been here by now.”“They’re coming. They should be—” She was cut off by a knock on the door.Anita took a step forward, but Lucas stopped her with a raised hand.

Lucas, they’ll go get Sophie now.”Lucas nodded, watching them head upstairs before turning his gaze back to Karina, who was sobbing and staring at him with a mix of sorrow and betrayal.“Lucas, I never thought you could do this to me,” she choked out, her voice trembling with a mix of desperation and heartbreak.He leaned forward, feigning remorse. “I’m sorry, love.

    Anita asked, tensed, “What are we going to do?”“Tie her up!” Lucas commanded.

    Aidan and Karina arrived at the Everhardt mansion, the tension palpable between them. Aidan got out of his car and quickly walked up to her, his tone urgent. "Karina, I think we should inform Inspector Kai."Her eyes widened in surprise. "No. We shouldn't.""What? Why?" Aidan asked, bewildered."Lucas is no fool," Karina explained, her voice steady but tense. "He might have figured that I didn't just come to his family's house looking for him. I'm sure Anita told him already that she saw me at the hospital, and then he figured out that he messed up by lying to me twice."Aidan shook his head in frustration. "So, what are we going to do? Stay calm when Sophie's earring was lying in their house?"She sighed deeply, struggling to keep her composure. "Aidan, we shouldn't react impulsively. Lucas shouldn't think that I'm suspecting him."Aidan eyed her with concern. "Are you scared of him or what?""I'm just considering the odds and possibilities now. What if… my daughter is in that house

They went to Switzerland.""But you said we could have dinner with them, Lucas.""Yes, I had no idea they left. I just called my mom and she told me about it."She nodded. "So, when did they leave?""Last night, yeah."She nodded. "Okay. It's fine. Let's talk later." She ended the call and groaned. "He lied again."Aidan asked, "What happened?""I saw Anita and Lilly less than an hour ago, and he said they left last night," she concluded.Aidan's expression turned grim. "He's definitely hiding something, Karina.""I feel so too. I need to go over to his family's house.""I'm coming with you.""But you're going to stay outside and hide. Paraventure Lucas shows up, he shouldn't see you."He agreed, and they left. Aidan followed Karina's car as she drove to the Salvatore Mansion.When Karina arrived, she placed so

    The air in the room shifted, charged with a new, tense energy.Lucas's face darkened, his jaw clenched tightly."Karina?" he muttered, half to himself, half to Amira.

After the doctor had thoroughly examined Lilly, they all returned to his office, a tense silence hanging in the air.The doctor sat behind his desk, looking over Lilly’s charts before raising his eyes to Anita."So, Mrs. Anita, when is Lilly scheduled for the transplant?"Anita forced a smile, her mind racing for a believable answer. "We’re taking her to England for the transplant. A hospital there has found a suitable donor."The doctor frowned, clearly puzzled. "England? Which hospital, if you don't mind me asking? We need to transfer her medical records and ensure they have all the necessary information."Anita’s responses became increasingly evasive. "It's a private facility. They’ve as

    Soon, Amira matched Lucas’s vigor, her enthusiasm doubling his pleasure. He growled and moaned, “Good girl, keep going.” She finished, then licked him from his V-line up to his chest, biting his nipples. Lucas groaned, his body tensing with the mix of pleasure and pain.“You’re not scared of me?” he muttered hoarsely.Amira smiled naughtily. “Why would I be? I know you won’t kill me.”He nodded, kissing her forehead. “I won’t. You're just different.” They started kissing passionately, their lips moving in a synchronized dance of lust and dominance. She asked between breaths, “How?”He chuckled, pulling back to look at her. “Everyone considers me a monster.”They locked gazes, Amira’s eyes piercing into his as she smirked. “We’re alike. Raymond used to be someone special to me before. I loved and adored him.” Her tone turned flat and callous. “But I killed him.”Lucas grinned. “I’m not like you, darling. I don’t kill the ones I love. Only those who give me trouble.”She started care
