I groaned as I opened my eyes, the morning sunlight filtering through the curtains. My body felt heavy with sleep, and I could hear Sofia's voice urging me to wake up. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I sat up and glanced at the clock on the bedside table. It was later than I usually woke up, but I reminded myself that I didn't have to rush off to work like everyone else.

Aurora was already dressed and ready for work, sitting beside me with a teasing smile on her face. "Good morning, sister. Is this how you always sleep in and wake up late, despite having to go to work?" she asked, her tone playfully mocking.

I chuckled, ruffling Sofia's hair as she climbed onto the bed with me. "Well, I don't have to adhere to the same schedule as everyone else anymore," I replied, my voice filled with amusement. "Besides, I've handed all your resumes to Miguel. He'll handle it from now on, so you're no longer under my wing."

Aurora's eyes widened in surprise, and she let out a breath of relief. "Oh,

    Irene——“Welcome Mrs Ferrari.” Few workers said to me as I marched in with a few guards by side and my dad behind me and Hugh opening the elevator for me before I got there.“Thanks Hugh, I hope you are enjoying the company on your first day?” I asked Hugh who nods with a weird smile and for some reasons I can’t point out he avoids my dads gaze…..where could aurora possibly be?“Your office?” Hugh asked about to press the elevator buttons.“Yes .” I replied.I entered my office and quickly settled in, checking my emails and going through my schedule for the day.

    Irene—-Benjamin's expression softened, and he gently brushed a strand of hair away from my face. "I'm sorry, Irene. I never wanted to be away from you for so long," he replied, his voice filled with regret. "But I had to ensure your safety and deal with the threat that was looming over us. I couldn't risk putting you in danger."I nodded, understanding the weight of his words. As much as I had missed him, I knew that Benjamin had made the right decision.

    Irene—-As I was about to ask Alex about any updates, my phone buzzed with a message. It was from the doctor, informing me that Benjamin had opened his eyes. Excitement and relief flooded through me, and I rushed to his room, eager to see him awake.But when I entered the room, my heart sank. Benjamin was lying there, his eyes open but devoid of recognition. He stared blankly ahead, unable to move or speak. It was as if he was trapped in his own body, unable to communicate with the world.Tears welled up in my eyes as I approached him, gently taking his hand in mine. "Benjamin, can you hear me?" I whispered, my voice filled with hope.There was no response. Benjamin's gaze remained distant, his body still and unresponsive. It felt like a cruel twist of fate. He had opened his eyes, but he was still so far away from me.The doctor entered the room, his expression grave. He explained that Benjamin had suffered a severe brain injury during the attack, which had resulted in his current co

    Irene—-“Benjamin almost died!!!” I yelled like it just happened, “Calm down Irene… it was really critical but we got a hang of it and that’s why you saw Benjamin.” Alex assured me as I tried to keep a fake smile on my face.“You don’t have to keep trying to look happy if you are breaking down inside Irene.” Alex added while I continued to stare at Benjamin who was still lying still on the bed with his eyes wide opened.“ I missed him so much and was expecting him to come back to me in good health but he didn’t.” I whispered to myself.As I stood there, staring at Benjamin lying motionless on the hospital bed, my mind began to wander. I had imagined his return so differently. I had pictured him walking through the front door, a smile on his face, his arms open wide to embrace me and our child. I had imagined him healthy and strong, ready to take on the world with us by his side.But reality had shattered those dreams. Benjamin had come back to me, but not in the way I had hoped. He w

    Tears flow down my eyes as the driver pulls out of the estate, heading to the airport. I clasp my mouth with my hand, muffling my heart-wrenching cries. This can't be happening to me. Maybe I am still dreaming, and I'll be up soon. But no matter how hard I make an effort to assume that this is all an ominous dream, I nonetheless can't shake off the thoughts of what just transpired in a few minutes.Father's feral anger. I have never seen him like that before. In all my twenty-three years of living, I've never seen my father like that. So unhinged and broken. His eyes held a depth of hatred and rage as he said the venomous words that would forever be etched in my heart. "Irene CLAUDIA DANTE! How the hell did this happen?" Father's boisterous voice thunders in the living room as he waves the newspaper in my face.I stare at the papers blankly, shivering from the tension that it came with. A picture of me is nicely displayed on the front page with a headline that sentences me to a life

    "No, Father, please. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. If I knew who the father was, I'd tell you already. I'm sorry…" It's been so long since I cried this hard. The last time was when Mother died. I was seven back then. And then Aurora's mother died too, months after. She was five. And then she came to stay with us as the illegitimate daughter of Father and my step-sister.Crying like this again reminds me of losing my mother, and now I'm on the verge of losing Father too. What sorry case has my life become?"Irene Dante, listen very carefully," Father says with a tone that shows finality. I stiffen, holding my breath. "From here on, you cease to be my daughter. Get up and get out. Stay gone!""Father, no, please. I beg you!" My cries can be heard from a thousand miles, and I run to him, latchin' to his shirt. "Don't throw me on the streets…""You leave me no choice, Irene." He replies, turning his taut back to me."You can't do this to me, Father. I'm your daughter. I'm your Irene.""No

    As Alex drove us towards the airport , the tension in the car was palpable. The rain poured heavily, obscuring the road ahead, and thunder rumbled ominously in the distance. The weather seemed to mirror the turmoil in my heart as I desperately tried to reach irene, only to be met with a constant "call failed" message.The worry gnawed at my insides, threatening to consume me. What if something had happened to irene and Sofia? What if Barnabas had already gotten to them? The thought sent a surge of fear through me, making it difficult to breathe."Benjamin, we have to stay calm," Alex said, his voice filled with concern. "We can't jump to conclusions. irene is strong, and she knows how to protect herself and Sofia."I nodded, trying to take comfort in Alex's words. He was right. irene was a force to be reckoned with, and she had shown time and time again that she could handle herself. But that didn't stop the fear from gripping my heart.We continued on our journey, the rain pouring do

Barnabas and co, they would all pay for this.I won't forget the attack they planned on me and immediately I got to my warehouse. They blew it up, shooting me three times. They would pay for ever crossing paths with Benjamin Ferrari.I groaned in pain as the memories flooded my mind. It had been a peaceful day at the warehouse, or so I thought. Alex and I were going about our usual business when suddenly, the sound of gunfire erupted, shattering the silence.Bullets flew in every direction, shattering glass and tearing through walls. Alex and I dove for cover, trying to avoid getting hit. The attackers seemed relentless, their aim deadly accurate. I knew we were outnumbered and outgunned.As the chaos ensued, I could hear Alex yelling at me to stay down and take cover. But I couldn't just hide while they tried to take me out. I had to fight
