The rain had eased into a soft drizzle, but the chill in the air seeped into my bones as I stood in front of Daniel. His eyes bore into mine, searching for something I wasn’t sure I could give him.
“You can still get out,” he said, his voice steady but filled with urgency. “Come with me now, let's disappear. You don’t have to be a part of this anymore, Nora. You never should have been.”
I shook my head, my hands trembling as I wrapped my arms around myself. “I can’t,” I whispered. “I can’t leave her. I can’t leave my daughter.”

SAM'S POV The rain poured relentlessly, its rhythmic pounding on the mansion’s tall windows blending with the muffled buzz of voices from the staff below. I sat in my father’s study, the dim light from the desk lamp casting long shadows across the room. The air was heavy, laden with memories of him. I could almost hear his voice, deep and firm, offering advice I desperately needed now.The city was ablaze with whispers of Evelyn Caradelli’s death. The news had spread like wildfire, dragging the Bennett name through the mud once again. I had managed to send Charlie back to his family earlier, though his parti

NORA'S POV The rain was still falling in sheets when I pulled into the driveway of the Bennett mansion. My hands trembled on the steering wheel, my pulse racing from my encounter with Jacob and Daniel. The weight of Jacob’s threats lingered like a shadow over me, his words echoing in my mind.“Evelyn is dead because of you. Sam deserves to feel the pain I feel.”The mansion loomed ahead, its grand facade now a reminder of the chaos within. I stepped out of the car, the rain soaking through my clothes in seconds, and hurried toward the front door. By the time I entered the warm foyer, I was dripping wet, shivering f

SAM'S POV The mansion was unnervingly quiet, the kind of silence that pressed against your chest and made it hard to breathe. Rain streaked the windows, casting shifting patterns of light across my father’s study. His scent—woodsmoke and old books—still lingered here, a painful reminder of his absence. The space felt heavier than ever, filled with memories that refused to fade. I closed my eyes, desperate for a moment of clarity, but all I could see was Charles’s face on the screen."My mom was killed by the Bennetts."The words echoed in my mind, sharp and unrelenting. It wasn’t the bloody shoe or even the mounting threats that gnawed at me most—it was him. Charles. The boy who had looked at me with such openness, such curiosity, as if he wanted to understand what it meant to be a Bennett. A boy who, for a brief moment, I thought could break free from Jacob’s grasp.I had started to care for him. That was the worst part. Despite everything, I had seen pieces of the Jacob I used to k

SAM'S POVThe storm outside raged, its howling winds and heavy rain mirroring the turmoil brewing within the Bennett mansion. I stood by the window of the drawing room, my hands clenched into fists as I watched the sleek black cars roll up the driveway.“They’re here,” Adrian said grimly from behind me, his voice low but brimming with tension.I turned away from the window and straightened my jacket. The Morettis had chosen their moment perfectly—while the family was on the verge of collapse, drowning in scandal and grief. This was a power move, and I wasn’t about to let them see any sign of weakness. When Adrian had told me of the meeting, I had simply nodded. Let them come. When the heavy oak doors opened, Margot Moretti was the first to step inside. She was as poised and calculating as ever, her sharp black dress hugging her figure, her eyes glittering with cold amusement. Luca followed closely behind, his expression subdued, almost weary, while Phillipe Moretti exuded quiet menac

SAM'S POV The house felt colder after the Morettis left, their veiled threats lingering like a dark cloud. I made my way to my father’s study, the one place where I could think. The scent of aged leather and cigar smoke still clung to the air, and I sank into his chair, the weight of the world pressing down on me.I closed my eyes, trying to drown out the noise in my head. Margot’s words echoed, their sharpness digging into my already frayed nerves. Three days to decide. Three days before she unleashed whatever hell she had waiting.

NORA'S POV The mansion was stifling, every corner weighed down by tension. Sam’s weary face stayed in my mind as I paced the room, the bloody baby shoe still etched in my memory. The news about Charles and the company collapsing only deepened my resolve. Sam might not admit it, but he needed help—desperately. And if I couldn’t bring peace to this storm, who else would?The Caradellis were the answer. Or at least, I hoped they were.I stopped pacing and looked out the rain-streaked window. The thought

JACOB'S POV The rain battered against the windows of the Caradelli mansion like a thousand tiny fists, but I barely noticed. I was sitting in Evelyn’s chair, the one by the fireplace she always claimed was too extravagant but secretly loved. The faint scent of her perfume lingered in the air—a mix of jasmine and sandalwood. It clung to the fabric of the cushions, haunting me.I ran a hand over my face, fingers trembling. My chest felt hollow, as though the part of me that had been alive, that had fought for this moment, had been ripped away when Evelyn jumped.

SAM'S POV The weight on my shoulders was suffocating. Everything was crumbling—my family, the company, my life—and I didn’t have the answers. My mind felt like a whirlpool, spinning with problems and decisions, and I needed air.Before heading out, I stepped into the nursery. Zoe was awake, her tiny fingers grasping at nothing, her big eyes blinking up at me. A faint smile tugged at my lips despite everything.“Hey, princess,” I murmured, lifting her gently from the bassinet. Her warmth grounded me, even if only for a moment. I held her close, kissing her soft forehead. “Daddy’s going to fix

NORA'S POV The sound of Sam’s phone ringing pierced the stillness of the morning. It had been going off non-stop since the news of Jonathan’s defection broke. Investors were panicking, employees were calling in fear of layoffs, and partners were threatening to terminate contracts.I watched as Sam stormed into the study, his face twisted in frustration. His father’s once-pristine sanctuary became a chaotic battlefield of papers, overturned furniture, and broken glass as he moved around the room, frustrated and angry.“Damn him!” Sam roared, sweeping a stack of documents off the desk. They scattered like fallen leaves, a physical manifestation of his unraveling composure.I followed him, stepping into the room cautiously, my heart aching at the sight of him like this. “Sam,” I said gently, moving closer. “Please, let’s talk…”He spun around, his eyes wild. “This is your fault!” he yelled, his voice cracking. “If you hadn’t gone to Milo Romano, if you hadn’t fallen for that stupid More

SAM'S POV The morning sunlight filtered through the tall windows of the Bennett mansion’s study, casting a warm glow over the room. But the warmth did little to alleviate the chill that seemed to settle in my chest. Papers were scattered across my desk—financial reports, lawsuit documents, and notes on the proposed merger. It was all too much, a constant reminder of how fragile everything had become.My mother entered, her heels clicking softly against the hardwood floor. She carried herself with her usual grace, but her expression was uncharacteristically tender. “You’re up early,” she said, setting a cup of tea on the desk in front of me.“Couldn’t sleep,” I muttered, leaning back in my chair. “Too much to think about.”She nodded, taking a seat across from me. For a moment, neither of us spoke. The silence was heavy, laden with things unsaid. Finally, Jacqueline broke it. “Sam, I need to apologize.”I looked up, startled. Jacqueline Bennett was many things, but apologetic wasn’t o

NORA'S POV The mansion was quiet as I tucked Zoe into her crib, her soft breathing the only sound in the dimly lit nursery. For a moment, I allowed myself the luxury of watching her sleep, her tiny hands curled into fists, her cheeks flushed with warmth. I closed the door softly and headed toward the library in search of Sam. The weight of everything pressed heavy on my shoulders. As I turned the corner, I nearly collided with Michael and Richard, both striding purposefully down the hallway.“Nora,” Michael said, his voice low. “You’ll want to come

SAM'S POV The morning sunlight sliced through the blinds of my office, illuminating the tension that hung thick in the room. My legal team sat across from me, their faces etched with grim determination. The betrayal felt suffocating, wrapping around my chest like a vice.“So let me get this straight,” I said, my voice icy as I leaned back in my chair, gripping the armrests to steady my simmering rage. “Jacob and Jonathan are claiming I mismanaged funds?”“Yes,” replied Linda, our lead attorney, her tone cautious but firm. “They’re focusing on two key examples: the

NORA'S POV “That’s why they call it a war, Lisa. And in war, only the strong survive.”Lisa stumbled back, her composure slipping further with each step. The room remained silent, every pair of eyes locked on the two women at the center of the storm.Finally, with one last venomous look, Lisa spat, “This isn’t over, Jacqueline. I promise you that.”She turned and stormed out, her heels echoing down the hallway.Back at the mansion, the atmosphere was subdued, the usually warm sitting room weighed down by the tension that seemed to seep into the walls. The crackle of the fire did little to dispel the chill hanging over the room. The family had gathered here after the funeral, their faces drawn and weary, but the undercurrent of frustration was impossible to ignore.Michael, the head of technology division, leaned against the mantel, his glass of whiskey half-empty. He swirled the liquid absently, his eyes narrowed in thought. “So, Alaric Laurent,” he said, his tone dripping with skept

NORA'S POV The sky was overcast, a dull gray that seemed fitting for the day we were laying William Bennett to rest. Rain threatened but held off, leaving a heavy, humid stillness in its place. The Bennett estate was unusually quiet, the air filled with an uneasy tension as family members shuffled in for the private ceremony.Even in death, William’s presence loomed large. His photograph, framed in black, sat at the head of the small gathering, his sharp eyes and strong jawline a reminder of the patriarch he’d been. The man who had expanded an empire that now seemed to be crumbling around us.

SAM'S POV The mansion felt colder than usual, a weight pressing down on me as Nora and I walked through the front doors. The cryptic words from Alaric Laurent haunted me, each syllable twisting in my mind like a knife.“A Bennett working with Jacob,” I muttered under my breath, my fists clenching at the thought.Nora touched my arm gently. “We’ll figure this out, Sam. We always do.”Her voice was calm, soothing, but even she couldn’t hide the unease in her eyes. I nodded but said nothing, a

NORA'S POV “We need an ally,” I told Sam for the umpteenth time, pacing the length of the study. “Someone strong enough to challenge the Morettis but far removed from Jacob’s influence.”Lately, he'd been more concerned with worshipping my body than he was with the threat that loomed over us but I knew that we could win the Morettis, Jacob and the Caradellis.

SAM’S POV The meeting ended with Jacob's threat still ringing in my ears.“You'll regret this, Samuel,” Jacob spat, his voice dripping with venom. “We’ll meet in court. And when I'm done, there won't be a Bennett empire to save. I’ll take every last dollar, every share, every legacy. You'll be left with nothing.”He stormed out, Charlie trailing behind him, his head down, avoiding my gaze. For a moment, I felt a pang of sadness for the boy. He didn't deserve to be a pawn in Jacob's bitter game.
