SAM'S POV

The street was eerily quiet as I stepped out of my car and walked towards Jonathan’s bungalow.

He didn't seem surprised to see me but sat casually, leaning back in a chair, as though he hadn’t just torn the fabric of our family apart.

“Oddly, I was expecting you, Samuel,” Jonathan said, his tone mocking.

I clenched my fists at my sides. “You embezzled funds, Jonathan. You betrayed your family.”

    SAM'S POV The sunlight filtering through the windows of the Bennett mansion felt intrusive, mocking the growing darkness inside me. Every step toward Uncle Thomas’s study felt heavier, each breath more labored. His betrayal had been a knife in my side, and I was about to twist it.Uncle Thomas had lived in the mansion since my father’s passing. His home on the estate was quieter, smaller, and he spent most of his time here in the main house. My mother often said it was his way of staying connected to family, but now I wondered if it had been something else—a way to remain close enough to strike.I didn’t both

    NORA'S POV The morning sunlight filtered through the grand windows of the Bennett library, illuminating the tension etched into every face around the table. I sat beside Sam, our shoulders barely touching, but the tension between us palpable. Genevieve leaned forward, elbows on the table, her fiery red hair contrasting with the dark wood of the desk. Alaric Laurent, effortlessly poised and self-assured, tapped his pen rhythmically against the table.“Elias Roosevelt is playing a dangerous game,”

Social media was ablaze with mixed reactions, each comment a testament to how deeply the video had resonated—or backfired.In the footage, Elias stood in what appeared to be an old office filled with weathered books and dim lighting, holding a sealed envelope marked with the Bennett crest. He claimed it contained irrefutable evidence of the Bennett family’s corruption, betrayal, and self-destruction.Elias then detailed the Moretti scandal, the Angola oil deal, and the infighting that had rocked the family. He painted a picture of a dynasty in ruins, one that couldn’t even trust its own blood.The video had been shared millions of times across platforms, with hashtags like #BennettDownfall and #FamilyFeud trending worldwide.

    NORA'S POVThe mansion felt unusually cold, even though it had stopped raining a while ago. As I stepped into the sitting room with Sam, tension crackled in the air like static. The entire Bennett clan—or what was left of it—had been summoned. Sam had insisted on an emergency meeting, and judging by the faces around the room, everyone knew the stakes were high.Aunt Angelina, dignified as ever, sat at the head of the room. Her sharp eyes scanned the gathering, already assessing the chaos before a word was spoken. Her daughter, a quiet woman in her early thirties, sat beside her, fiddling nervously with the edge of her sleeve.Across the room, Aunt Marion perched on the armrest of a chair, Jonathan standing protectively behind her. His smug expression made my stomach churn. Uncle Thomas sat alone, his shoulders slumped but his eyes defiant. Richard was flanked by his parents, his mother looking visibly weary, while Michael’s father sat stiffly, flanked by his wife and two daughters, bo

    SAM'S POVThe courtroom was a battleground, its sterile walls echoing with arguments that felt more personal than legal. This wasn’t just about shares or company policy. This was about betrayal.Linda, my lead attorney, sat beside me, her calm demeanor belying the storm about to unfold. Across the aisle, Jacob and Jonathan looked smug, their legal team whispering strategies. Jacob’s tailored suit and polished confidence screamed defiance, while Jonathan’s jittery demeanor betrayed the stakes for him. It was surreal, sitting across from family members who had once shared Sunday dinners and childhood holidays. Now they were trying to dismantle everything I’d spent my life protecting.“All rise,” the bailiff announced, and the courtroom fell silent as the judge entered.The trial began with opening statements, and Jacob’s attorney wasted no time setting the tone.“Your Honor,” the opposing attorney began, his voice steady and authoritative, “this case is about accountability—or rather, t

    NORA'S POVZoe’s soft cries drifted from the nursery upstairs, and I kept glancing at the baby monitor on the table beside me. The nurse we’d hired was competent, but my nerves were frayed. Sam had left for court hours ago, and the house felt too quiet.I sat by the window, my gaze fixed on the garden. The roses were in full bloom, their bright petals a contrast to the turmoil swirling in my mind. I twirled my wedding ring absentmindedly, the smooth band a reminder of a love that had weathered more storms than I cared to count. I had never given it back but we were still divorced.My thoughts wandered, as they often did these days, to the chain of events that had brought us here. My abrupt flight to Paris, the days when I’d clung to my independence, and Sam’s relentless pursuit to win me back. For a moment, I smiled, remembering how stubborn he’d been, how determined.In Paris, I had started over, determined to leave the Bennetts and their tangled web of corporate politics behind. I w

    SAM'S POV The drive to the hospital was a blur of honking horns, red lights, and my own erratic breathing. Every worst-case scenario clawed at the edges of my mind—Nora injured, Zoe abandoned, something unspeakable happening to them both. My knuckles turned white as I gripped the steering wheel, urging the car to go faster despite the pouring rain that had begun to smear the windshield.When I stormed through the hospital doors, I didn’t care about the stares I drew. “Where’s my wife?” I barked at the receptionist, slamming my palms on the desk.The young woman blinked up at me, startled. “Your wife’s name?”“Eleanora Sinclair,” I said, my voice thick with desperation. “I got a call about her. What room is she in?”She frowned, typing into her computer. “I’m sorry, sir, there’s no record…”Before she could finish, a nurse walking by paused, her eyes lighting up with recognition. “Mr. Bennett? Is something wrong?”I turned to her, every nerve on edge. “I got a call. Someone said there

    NORA'S POV The fog in my mind was thick, my body sluggish as I blinked against the dim light filtering into the room. My wrists ached, bound tightly behind me. I forced myself to focus, the grogginess from whatever they’d drugged me with making it difficult to form coherent thoughts.Then I saw it—the gilded frame on the far wall, a portrait of Evelyn Caradelli. Of course. The Caradelli mansion. The last time I had been here, Lisa Caradelli had shot me immediately upon my arrival. My thoughts fleeted briefly to Daniel but I shook my head. A door creaked open, and the sharp click of heels echoed on the marble floor. Lisa Caradelli stepped into the room, her expression cold, followed closely by Isabella.“Well, look who’s awake,” Isabella cooed, her voice dripping with mockery. She leaned against the wall, her arms crossed, her smirk infuriatingly smug.I fought against the haze in my mind, forcing a smile. “What’s this? A pity party for two?”Isabella’s smirk faltered, but Lisa stepp

    NORA’S POVThe sun bathed the Bennett estate in a golden glow, filtering through the canopy of white roses and twinkling fairy lights. It was the perfect day, the kind of day that had once seemed impossible. But here we were. I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the delicate lace sleeve of my gown. It was nothing like the dress I had once imagined wearing for my first wedding to Sam. No, this was something entirely different—something that felt more like me. The gown hugged my frame, elegant and timeless. Soft ivory fabric cascaded down in delicate layers, embroidered with tiny pearls that shimmered when I moved. My hair, styled in loose waves, was pinned back with a single white rose, and a sheer veil trailed behind me like something out of a dream. But it was Sam’s face I longed to see the most. "Are you ready?" Genevieve appeared in the doorway, looking radiant in a soft emerald gown. Her usual sharpness was softened by the emotion in her eyes. I turned, feeling my he

    NORA’S POVThe moment the plane touched down in New York, a flood of emotions surged through me. Relief. Exhaustion. Gratitude. I was alive. I was going home. Sam held my hand the entire drive from the airport, his grip firm yet tender, like he was afraid that if he let go, I’d disappear. My heart ached with anticipation; my mind consumed by a single thought—Zoe. I had spent weeks away from my daughter, missing the warmth of her tiny body against mine, the sweet scent of her skin, the sound of her giggles. The separation had been unbearable, and now, every second that kept me from holding her felt like

It was about her. Nora. She lay in the bed

    NORA’S POVThe beeping of machines was a constant rhythm, a reminder of the fragile line I was walking. The Parisian hospital room was bathed in soft golden light from the setting sun, but I felt cold. Not the kind of cold that came from the air conditioning or the evening breeze slipping through the cracks in the window—this was deeper, bone-deep, a chilling awareness that my body was failing me. Every breath felt like a borrowed one, shallow and effortful. The weight of exhaustion pressed down on me, heavier than it had ever been. My fingers tingled, my limbs felt distant, like they didn’t belong to me anymore. A part of me wondered if this was it—if I was already standing on the precipice between life and d

    SAM'S POV The jet sliced through the cloud cover with the precision of a predator on a hunt, its hum a constant in the background as my thoughts drifted. Paris was just hours away, but I was already a prisoner of the distance—caught between two worlds, neither of which felt truly mine anymore.I had fought wars before, faced battles in boardrooms and beneath the weight of expectations. But none of those had ever felt so personal, so destructive. This fight had torn apart the very fabric of my family, shattered everything I had worked for, and left scars on my soul that would never fully heal. And the worst part? It had nearly cost me Nora—the one person I couldn’t afford to lose.

She didn’t cry. She didn’t beg. She didn’t even look at me.She only turned once, just before disappearing through the doors, and for a fleeting moment, I saw it—regret. But it wasn’t for what she had done. It was for losing.I exhaled slowly, rubbing a hand over my face. Was this how it was all supposed to

    SAM'S POV The boardroom was suffocating, thick with tension and the scent of expensive cologne and polished wood.

Margot Moretti sat at the far end, composed as ever, but I could see the cracks beginning to show.For the past two hours, I had been fighting for control of what was left of my father’s empire. The Morettis had leveraged Aunt Marion’s shares and were dangerously close to tipping th

I had spent countless hours in this bed, staring at the ceiling, counting the tiles, trying to ignore the way my body felt weaker with each passing day.But today was different.
