The door to Ivy's suite slammed shut behind her as Bella followed her inside, her eyes glinting with cold determination.

Ivy’s heels clicked against the marble floor, her steps quicker than usual, her mind racing with frustration and disbelief at Bella’s audacity.

She had barely made it halfway to the living room when Bella’s voice cut through the silence, sharp and mocking.

“You’re not going to walk away from this conversation, Ivy,” Bella hissed, her arms crossed over her chest. “We need to talk.”Ivy turned on her heel, fury flashing in her eyes.

“There’s nothing to talk about, Bella. I’m done playing your little game.” Her voice was steady, but there was an underlying anger that simmered just beneath the surface.

Bella raised an eyebrow, a smirk tugging at the corner of her lips. “Oh, I think there’s plenty to talk about.

You’ll want to hear every word I have to say.”Ivy scoffed, folding her arms tightly across her chest. “You’re delusional if you think I’m going to keep up wit

    “So, what now?” Ivy finally asked, her voice laced with resentment.Bella took a step back, her demeanor calming now that she knew she had won. “Now, you play your part. You’re going to keep your mouth shut about Iris, and you’re going to help me maintain this illusion. If you do that, your father’s secrets stay buried, and Kendrick Enterprises remains in the family.”Ivy narrowed her eyes. “And what happens to Iris? The real Iris?”Bella’s smile faded slightly, her eyes hardening. “Iris is gone. She’s not coming back.”Ivy took a step closer, her voice steady despite the storm raging inside her. “You’re going to make sure of that, aren’t you?”Bella didn’t flinch and didn’t break eye contact. “If I have to,” she said coldly.Ivy felt a chill run down her spine at the finality in Bella’s voice. She had suspected for a while that Bella had something to do with Iris’s disappearance, but now she knew. Bella wasn’t just playing a game—she was willing to go to any lengths to secure her pla

    The cold, sterile air of the hospital was suffocating. The relentless beeping of machines filled the silence, echoing in the hallways. Mr. Kendrick sat in the waiting area, his eyes fixed on the clock, watching the minutes tick by. He had just received the devastating news. His son, Ryan, had woken up, but something was terribly wrong. Memory loss.The words lingered in his mind like a curse. How could this happen? How could his son wake up from the coma and not remember his father, his own life? It was all too much. The company was crumbling, Bella and her brother were taking over, and now Ryan—his one and only son—was lost in a fog of amnesia.The door to the waiting room creaked open, and Parker stepped in, his expression as grim as ever. He had been Mr. Kendrick’s trusted friend and family doctor for years, but even he couldn't mask the concern etched on his face."Mr. Kendrick, we need to talk," Parker said, his voice low, almost hesitant.Mr. Kendrick didn't respond. His gaze

    This company—this empire—belongs to us now."Her brother turned to face her, a glint of mischief in his eyes. "What do you think about Ivy?"Bella shrugged, her smirk widening. "Ivy’s too busy being her naive little self. She might suspect something’s wrong, but she doesn’t have the guts to do anything about it. And as for Mr. Kendrick… well, he’s too focused on his poor son to even notice what’s happening right under his nose.""Good. Then we’re in the clear," her brother said, taking a seat across from her. "But we have to be careful. Luca’s still around, and he’s not as easily fooled."Bella’s eyes darkened at the mention of Luca. She knew he had always been loyal to Ryan, and if anyone were to figure out the truth, it would be him. "Don’t worry about Luca. I’ll handle him."Back at the Hospital...Luca raced through the hospital corridors, his heart pounding in his chest. He had just received the call—Ryan was awake. After weeks of uncertainty, his best friend was finally conscious

    Weeks had blurred into months since Ryan Kendrick had been discharged from the hospital. His once-sharp mind was now a haze of doubt and confusion, but the constant presence of Bella, who claimed to be Iris, offered him a semblance of stability. She was always there, smiling, reassuring him that everything would be okay. And though part of him doubted her story, he had no proof, no solid memory to refute her claims. So, he had no choice but to trust her.Bella and her brother had made their way into the heart of Kendrick Enterprises. Under the pretense of investing, during his accident and coma state, they began to manipulate the company from within. Changes were made swiftly, rebranding efforts, restructuring of departments, and new contracts signed with unfamiliar names. The employees whispered about the new leadership, but no one dared to speak up openly. Ryan, the once-vibrant CEO, was a shadow of himself, watching from the sidelines as Bella and her brother ran the show.Ry

    Later that evening, the grand hall was buzzing with activity. Journalists and paparazzi crowded around the entrance, flashing their cameras as important guests arrived. Bella and her brother stood by the entrance, greeting the investors and guests as they walked in, all smiles and handshakes.The cameras flashed as Bella posed, the perfect picture of poise and confidence. But as the questions began to fly, she quickly realized the media was not going to be as easy to control as the company had been."Miss Bella, you are a well-known fashion icon. What happened to that career?" one journalist shouted.Bella smiled, tilting her head slightly. "Oh, I’ve simply transitioned into something more aligned with my current priorities. The business world requires just as much creativity as fashion, don’t you think?"Another voice from the crowd jumped in, the question sharp. "Are you married now to Ryan Kendrick?"Bella’s smile faltered for a brief second before she quickly regained composure.

    Jessica lay on the cold floor of the dingy room, her breathing shallow and labored. Her body felt weak, every bone aching with the weight of exhaustion and sickness. Days had turned into weeks, and she could feel her health slipping away. But through the fog of pain and fatigue, one terrifying realization had become clear: she knew who had done this to her. Mrs. Rose Kendrick.The name churned in her mind, filling her with a mix of fear and anger. Jessica had once worked closely with the Kendrick family. She had been privy to their secrets, their hidden lives. But never in her wildest dreams had she imagined that Mrs. Rose, the seemingly elegant matriarch of the family, would go so far as to kidnap and try to kill her.Jessica coughed, her throat raw and dry. She tried to sit up, but her body refused to cooperate. The room spun around her as a wave of dizziness crashed over her, leaving her gasping for air. She needed help—urgent medical attention, or she wouldn’t survive much

    She pursed her lips, clearly annoyed. This wasn’t part of the plan. Jessica needed to stay alive for now.“Look at you. Pathetic,” Mrs. Rose muttered, disgust lacing her words. “It seems I’ve underestimated just how frail you’ve become. You need medical attention.”She pulled out her phone and made a quick call. Her voice was sharp, all business. “Get someone here immediately. She’s in bad shape. I want her moved to a private facility. I don’t want her dead yet.”There was a brief pause as the person on the other end of the line responded. Mrs. Rose’s face remained impassive as she listened. “No. Take her to the facility I mentioned before. I don’t care what you have to do—just make sure she stays alive.”She ended the call, slipping the phone back into her handbag before turning her attention back to Jessica, who was slipping in and out of consciousness.“You’ll get the help you need, Jessica,” Mrs. Rose said in a mocking tone. “But don’t think for a second that this is out of kindness.

    Ryan sat in the massive living room, the silence of the house almost suffocating. His fingers absentmindedly trailed along the arm of the sofa as he stared at the empty walls, void of any warmth or personality. Bella had cleared everything. All the paintings, the photos, and any semblance of the life he once shared with Iris.But Bella was his wife now or so she told him. And she seemed to care about him more than anyone else. She told him how his family had turned on her, how they had never accepted their relationship. Bella claimed they had even tried to sabotage her when she took over the company, forcing her to step in and save the empire in his absence. Still, Ryan couldn’t help but feel a nagging doubt. It gnawed at the back of his mind, small flashes of memories that didn’t add up, but with no concrete evidence, he had nothing to cling to.He rubbed his temples as the confusion lingered. "Maybe I'm overthinking this," he muttered to himself.The door creaked open, and Bella

    Months had passed since Parker waited in vain for Ryan to come to his rescue. As the cold reality set in, the hope that had once flickered inside Parker’s heart dimmed until it was nothing but a distant memory. The prison walls around him felt like they were closing in, suffocating him with the weight of his past mistakes. Every day, he wondered if his son would ever come, but no sign of Ryan emerged. He had gambled on the wrong side of history, and now he was paying for it with every lonely second that ticked by.Meanwhile, Mrs. Rose Kendrick, once a woman of unmatched power and deceit, was locked away in her world of doom. She had seen the writing on the wall long before now. When the truth came to light, when all the lies she had crafted so carefully unraveled before her eyes, she knew no one was coming to save her. The empire she had tried to manipulate for herself and her lover Parker had crumbled. Her final days were filled with silence, the kind that came not from peace but

    Ryan paced the length of his father’s study, his mind racing with conflicting emotions. He held the hospital reports tightly in his hand, his knuckles white from the grip. The reports confirmed his worst fears—the man he had called his father for his entire life wasn’t his biological father at all. Dr. Parker was. The revelation had shaken him to the core, and he knew he couldn’t keep this secret any longer. He had to tell Mr. Kendrick.Taking a deep breath, he walked over to where Kendrick sat in his leather chair, his eyes already filled with concern. Kendrick had noticed Ryan’s turmoil the moment he entered the room, but he hadn’t pressed him to speak."Dad," Ryan began, his voice trembling slightly. He rarely ever called him anything but ‘Dad,’ but now, with this new information, it felt like a lie. Still, it was all he had ever known. "I received something today. It’s… complicated, and I don’t know how to explain it."Kendrick raised an eyebrow, worry etching deeper into his

    The atmosphere in the house was finally calm, or so it seemed. After everything they had been through—the betrayals, the conspiracies, and the almost impossible escape from danger—Iris, Kendrick, and Jessica were relieved to be back home. The past few days had been nothing short of a nightmare, but now, with Ryan by her side, Iris felt like she could finally breathe again.Ryan had transformed into the kind of husband Iris had always dreamed of. He was attentive, caring, and endlessly devoted, especially when it came to their newborn. Late-night feedings and diaper changes—Ryan was right there with her, helping in every way he could. The chaos and distrust that once clouded their relationship were gone, replaced by a bond forged through hardship and love.One afternoon, as Iris cradled their baby on the living room couch, Ryan returned from the front door, holding a small package. There was no return address, just his name scribbled hastily across the front. He furrowed his brow as

    The tension in the hospital room hung heavy as Iris took a deep breath and prepared to explain everything. The faces of those around her—Jessica, Ryan, Kendrick, and Ivy—were etched with a mixture of concern, curiosity, and shock. Ryan, especially, seemed anxious, as though every word Iris spoke would shift the very foundation of what he believed to be true.“I found out I was pregnant,” Iris began slowly, her voice steady but filled with emotion, “on the same day that Mrs. Rose asked to see me. She called me out of the blue and said she needed to talk. I thought it was something important about the family, but when I got there…” She paused, her gaze shifting to Ryan before continuing. “She told me to leave you, Ryan. She wanted me gone so you could be with Bella.”Ryan’s jaw clenched at the mention of his mother’s betrayal, but he remained silent, allowing Iris to continue.“I was devastated,” Iris admitted, her voice cracking slightly. “I didn’t know what to do, and on my way back t

    The tension in the room had begun to settle after the police escorted Mrs. Rose and Dr. Parker out in handcuffs. The silence that followed felt like the calm after a storm, but there was still an air of unease.Mr. Kendrick stood in the center of the room, his expression heavy with guilt and regret. He turned toward Jessica, who stood with her arms crossed, looking as though she wasn’t quite sure what to make of him yet. Ivy and Iris, standing side by side, had barely spoken a word since everything unfolded.Kendrick cleared his throat, his voice thick with emotion. “I’m sorry,” he began, his eyes filled with sincerity as he faced Jessica and the twins. “Jessica, Iris, Ivy… I know words aren’t enough to make up for the years I’ve spent apart from you all, the lies, and everything else that’s happened. But please believe me when I say that I’ve regretted every single moment I wasn’t with you.”Iris remained silent, her face pale from shock, while Ivy’s gaze flickered between Jessica a

    The room was suffocating. Ryan sat up straighter in his hospital bed, his eyes narrowing as Luca entered, his expression grim. The air felt thick with anticipation as everyone waited for the news. Luca cleared his throat and looked directly at Ryan. “The anonymous messenger? It was Sarah—your house help,” he said quietly. Ryan’s brows furrowed in confusion. “Sarah?” He glanced at Ivy, then back at Luca. “What do you mean? She’s just a housemaid. Why would she—" “She’s been traced and caught,” Luca interrupted his voice firm. “We got her while she was trying to flee the country. She’s been feeding information to your enemies, Ryan. She’s been working with Mrs. Rose.”The room went still. Ivy gasped, her hand flying to her mouth, and Kendrick’s face drained of color. Mrs. Rose stood frozen, her eyes wide in disbelief as all eyes turned toward her.“What… what are you saying?” Ryan’s voice was low, but it shook with barely restrained anger.“She confessed everything,” Luca continued, h

    The silence that followed Mr. Kendrick's confession was deafening. Everyone in the room seemed frozen, processing the weight of his words. Mrs. Rose’s face was a mixture of shock and rage, her hands trembling as she gripped the back of a chair for support. Ryan and Ivy exchanged uneasy glances, while Jessica stood still, her expression unreadable, though her eyes glistened with the pain of memories that had long since scarred her.Kendrick took a deep breath, his voice thick with regret as he continued. "I was in love with Jessica," he admitted, his eyes locked on the floor as if unable to meet anyone’s gaze. "We were both so young, and I couldn't resist her. But I was already married to Rose. There was no way I could marry Jessica. I was the heir to the Kendrick family fortune, and it would have been a scandal—a disgrace—to have an affair and a child out of wedlock."Rose scoffed, her voice laced with venom. "So instead, you chose to keep me in the dark and raise the child of your

    The tension in the room was so thick it felt as though it could suffocate them all. Mrs. Rose stood frozen, her heart hammering against her chest as her eyes darted from Jessica to Kendrick and then to her children. Her worst nightmare was unraveling before her eyes, and there was no escape. Kendrick, too, was motionless, his face a mixture of disbelief and confusion. His eyes met Jessica’s, and a flood of memories rushed back—memories he had buried for years. He tried to speak, but the words caught in his throat."Je… Jessica?" Kendrick’s voice was barely above a whisper, his shock palpable. Ryan, standing by his father’s bedside, turned to Kendrick, his brows furrowed in confusion. "Dad, do you know her?"Jessica stood tall, her eyes blazing with the fire of long-buried resentment. She ignored Ryan’s question and locked eyes with Mrs. Rose, whose face was now dripping with cold sweat. Rose’s hands trembled as she took a step backward, her composure slipping with every second."No…

    Mrs. Rose paced anxiously around the hospital room, her heels clicking against the cold tile floor. She glanced at her watch for the hundredth time, her impatience growing by the second. Where were Ivy and Ryan? What were they up to? Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard the door open. She turned swiftly, only to see Ryan step into the room, followed closely by Ivy. Relief washed over her for a split second, but it quickly faded as she saw the grim looks on their faces. Something was wrong.“Where have you two been?” Mrs. Rose demanded, crossing her arms over her chest. “I’ve been looking all over for you!”Ryan didn’t respond immediately. His face was hard, his jaw clenched. Ivy, too, seemed distant, her eyes fixed on the floor as if she couldn’t bear to meet her mother’s gaze.Before Mrs. Rose could demand answers, a weak cough sounded from the hospital bed. Her husband, Mr. Kendrick, had woken up. Slowly, he turned his head toward her, his eyes filled with anger and betray
