Her heart was still pounding with residual adrenaline. The cool air inside did little to calm her.

โ€œIs that Miss Kiara?โ€ The first officer to recognize her exclaimed.

She approached the front desk, her voice steady despite her nerves.

โ€œI have with me evidence of attempted murder, and I want you to arrest the criminal with immediate effect.โ€

The officer behind the desk raised an eyebrow but quickly motioned for her to sit while they summoned one of the detectives available. Coincidentally, he was the one in charge of the restaurant case.

Within moments, Detective Harrison emergedโ€”a tall, broad-shouldered man with a sharp gaze that missed nothing.

โ€œMiss Lux,โ€ he said, his tone professional but curious. โ€œIโ€™m Detective Harrison. Iโ€™m already familiar with your fatherโ€™s case. I believe that is why youโ€™re here.โ€

Kiara nodded.

โ€œThe lawyer is sending a lawsuit later today; the reason we havenโ€™t made any arrests. Mr. Lux wants the restaurant itself to take responsibility for what happened

    Damian burst through the front door, his tie loosened and his usually composed demeanor frayed. Behind him stood Luca, his expression carefully curated to show concern. Maria, still flustered, hurried to greet her husband.โ€œSheโ€™s home, Damian,โ€ Maria said, wringing her hands. โ€œShe came back in a police car, and her car is gone. She wonโ€™t say anything.โ€โ€œWhere is she?โ€ Damian asked, scanning the room urgently.โ€œShe has been in her room since she returned. She wouldnโ€™t open the door. Amor, something is wrong with our baby girl.โ€ Maria cried out in despair. โ€œI will get her,โ€ Damian responded. Before he could take another step, Kiara emerged from her room, her eyes locking onto Luca like a hawk spotting its prey. Her face twisted with a mix of disbelief and fury. โ€œWhat is he doing here?โ€ She demanded, her voice sharp.โ€œWhat is who doing here?โ€ Damian responded nonchalantly. โ€œAre you alright? What happened to you? You look like you have been to hell and back. Talk to me.โ€ โ€œWhat is that

    โ€œWhat is it? What happened?โ€ Maria asked, concerned, as Damian rose to his feet. โ€œI need to get to the office. Eric just gave me a piece of information that should not be true.โ€ โ€œWhat did he say, dad?โ€ Kiara asked but didnโ€™t get a response. Damian dashed out of the house, grabbing his car keys on the table on his way out. He rushed to the office, his mind racing as he tried to process everything that had unfolded that evening. The weight of Kiaraโ€™s accusations against Luca, the police intervention, and now thisโ€”the missing money and documentsโ€”threatened to crush him. He arrived at the building, his heart pounding. Eric, the new accountant, was already waiting in his office, his face pale and nervous.โ€œEric!โ€ Damian barked, slamming the door behind him. โ€œWhat the hell is going on? Start talking, now.โ€Eric jumped at the sound of Damianโ€™s voice, fumbling with the files in his hands. โ€œSir, Iโ€”I noticed it during the end-of-day reconciliation. A significant amount of money has been tr

    Damian entered the dimly lit visitation room of the police station, his footsteps echoing in the stillness. Sitting at the table, his hands cuffed, was Luca Ettore. Lucaโ€™s eyes lit up with relief and desperation as Damian stepped in, though his composed demeanor cracked only slightly.โ€œDamian,โ€ Luca said, his voice tinged with a mix of weariness and disbelief. โ€œThank God youโ€™re here. You have to believe meโ€”I had nothing to do with this.โ€Damian pulled out the chair opposite Luca and sat down heavily, rubbing his temples. "Luca, you're in deep trouble. The police have recordings, confessions... everything points to you. The restaurant worker claimed you gave the poison to him to put inside my food.โ€Luca leaned forward, his hands gripping the edge of the table. โ€œIโ€™m being framed, Damian! You know me. I would never hurt you or your family. Why would I poison Kiara? Why would I target you?โ€Damian met Lucaโ€™s gaze, his own expression filled with conflict. โ€œThatโ€™s what I canโ€™t understand.

    Reluctantly, Damian turned, his expression hard as steel. Lucaโ€™s face was a whirlwind of desperation and something darkerโ€”a calculated edge.โ€œWhat is it?โ€ He asked, curious. โ€œKiara!โ€ Luca responded. โ€œI would like to have a word with her. She started all of these. Only she can shed more light and prove that Iโ€™m innocent. Damian didnโ€™t want to involve his family in any of these anymore. Especially after what happened to Kiara. โ€œThis is beyond her now. There is nothing she can do to get you out of here, Luca. If youโ€™re innocent, the police will vindicate you.โ€ Luca scoffed. That made Damianโ€™s skin crawl. โ€œThere are quite some things you donโ€™t know, friend. You really think itโ€™s what you see on the surface that matters? Well, there is something going on between me and Kiara that you all know nothing about. And that is exactly why Iโ€™m here. If I can talk her into forgiving me, Damian, all of this will be over.โ€ โ€œIf I donโ€™t know, then itโ€™s not my call,โ€ Damian responded. Without anot

    Kiaraโ€™s heart skipped a beat. She froze, her hand hovering over the remote. Her mind raced, her fatherโ€™s words echoing in her ears.He knows.Slowly, Kiara got out of bed and approached the door, her hands trembling. She cracked it open just enough to see Damianโ€™s face, his expression a mix of concern and determination.โ€œWhat do you mean by my relationship with Luca?โ€ She whispered, her voice barely audible.โ€œI think you know what Iโ€™m talking about,โ€ Damian said gently. โ€œThis isnโ€™t just about whatโ€™s happening now, is it? Thereโ€™s more to thisโ€”something you havenโ€™t told me.โ€Kiaraโ€™s grip on the door tightened. For a moment, she considered slamming it shut and pretending this conversation never happened. But the look in her fatherโ€™s eyes stopped her. He wasnโ€™t accusing her; he was worried.She opened the door fully and stepped aside, motioning for him to enter. Damian walked in, his eyes scanning the room as if it might hold answers. Kiara closed the door behind him and leaned against it

    Kiaraโ€™s stomach churned at Lucaโ€™s words. She felt the air in the room grow heavier, suffocating, as if his confession carried a tangible weight. Her fists clenched under the table, her nails digging into her palms.โ€œYou want me?โ€ She repeated, her voice cold and disbelieving. โ€œYou think you can ruin my life and then sit here and talk about want, like it will erase everything youโ€™ve done? You tried to kill me. You poisoned your friendโ€™s food.โ€Luca leaned forward, his gaze never leaving hers. โ€œRuin your life?โ€ he echoed, his tone soft, almost incredulous. โ€œKiara, everything Iโ€™ve doneโ€”every single thingโ€”was for us. For you. Because I love you.โ€Her laugh was bitter and sharp. โ€œLove? You donโ€™t even know what that word means. Manipulation, lies, poisonโ€”thatโ€™s what you call love?โ€Luca exhaled, his expression shifting to one of practiced remorse. โ€œI wonโ€™t deny it. Iโ€™ve done terrible things. Iโ€™ve lied, Iโ€™ve pushed beyond boundaries, and Iโ€™ve taken risks that I shouldnโ€™t have. But Kiara, eve

    Kiara got back home and rushed into her bedroom and sat down silently at her dressing table. Her red-hot sex was still being fueled by a no less guilty delight, but her face was still burning with intense humiliation and guilt. โ€œHow could I fall for that? How could I let him get into my head?โ€ She questioned herself. The well-earned kiss she had this morning left a burning, blistering sensation across her body; she wanted more. She couldn't focus on anything other than how her body reacted. โ€œYouโ€™ll never find someone who understands you the way I do. Who loves you the way I do.โ€ His words echoed in her head. Thatโ€™s true, though. He knows her body chemistry more than she does herself. Kiara began to picture the kiss again, and gradually the feeling became a deeper, duller crimson, while her as yet unrelieved arousal rendered her hidden flower benumbed but still swollen. The state she was in, Kiara thought she was going crazy. How could all these intense feelings remain for so lon

    โ€œBuzzโ€ฆbuzzโ€ The sound of the alarm clock woke Kiara up. She stretched to switch it off. It wasnโ€™t up to two hours before she was finally able to sleep. She kept thinking about Luca and her sexual fantasies. Even when she eventually made peace with sleep, she found herself dreaming about sex with Luca. Thanks to the alarm, she couldnโ€™t reach orgasmโ€”in her dream sex. After switching off the alarm, she was going to go back to sleep but the sound of the knock on her door made her groan. โ€œDarling, itโ€™s me.โ€ Damian spoke, loud enough for her to hear.There was no response, so he continued. โ€œI was hoping we could talk before I leave for work. You were asleep when I returned last night.โ€ That was the lie Kiara told just to remain in her room when she was informed about Damianโ€™s arrival the previous night. โ€œThis early?โ€ Kiara groaned under her breath, pulling the covers over her head. She needed more time to gather herself before facing anyone, let alone her father.Damianโ€™s voice came a

    Kiara was standing in front of her open box, staring at the mess of clothes she had put inside earlier. Her fingers gripped a particular dress. She hesitated, but she shook her head and threw it aside. 'Does it matter what I pack? I am leaving.' she thought. 'Leaving the only home I have ever known.' Leaving everything behind.Her phone vibrated beside her and the notification read: Flight confirmed: 10 AM tomorrow.She exhaled slowly, feeling the weight of it settle over her."This is it."

    Detective Harrison had been on Luca's case for months now with no positive results, no evidence to link him to the crimes.He sat in his office, flipping through a stack of photos that had been put across his desk earlier that day.Every single one of the photos showed Luca with his men. One photo showed when he took off his mask in the warehouse during Kiara's kidnap, the other showed when he tried to take the documents from Damian. His clothes matched. The photos showed him at different instances of Kiara's murder attempts. All the evidence pointed to one to Luca.The evidence had come from an unexpected source. Harrison glanced up, his gaze narrowing at the man sitting across from him. It was Donald.The same man who saved Kiara multiple times.Harrison tapped the stack of photos together. โ€œYouโ€™ve been keeping an eye on him for a while, havenโ€™t you?โ€Donald leaned back in his chair, arms crossed. โ€œSince the day he warned me to stay away from Kiara.โ€Harrison arched a brow. โ€œYou too

    After a few days, Kiara was finally discharged. The hospital doors slid open, and Kiara stepped outside, with Maria and Damian closely behind her. Catching her breath in the cool evening air. It felt different. Not the air itself, but how it touched her skin, how it felt against her face. Everything around her felt distant, like she was walking through a world that had moved on while she had been stuck somewhere else. She wrapped her arms around herself, her movements slow and hesitant. Maria stood beside her, watching her closely. She had barely left her side since she woke up. As they approached the car, her concern was evident in the way she kept glancing at her, waiting for her to say something. โ€œ Are you okay baby?โ€ Maria asked. Kiara nodded. Damian, who was putting their belongings in the trunk, stood at the driver's side of the car. "Are you sure amore?But Kiara didn't respond.Damian didnโ€™t push. He opened the car door for her, waiting until she was seated before ge

    Flashing red and blue lights filled the night.The party had turned into chaos as the guests murmured in hushed voices as paramedics rushed Kiara towards the exit, her body limp on the stretcher.Damian pushed past security, his expression unreadable as he followed closely. โ€œIโ€™m coming with her.โ€โ€œSir, we need space,โ€ a paramedic started, but the warning died when Damian shot him a sharp glare.โ€œSheโ€™s my daughter,โ€ he said flatly. โ€œIโ€™m not leaving her side.โ€The paramedic hesitated but nodded. โ€œGet in.โ€As the ambulance doors shut, Damian sat beside Kiara, watching as the medics checked her vitals. His hands clenched into fists. Even in her unconscious state, Kiara could still feel his touch lingering. It felt familiar, like she had felt it before.And just like that, her mind slipped into a dream.And then, the past pulled her in.***Laughter surrounded her as she spun in circles, her arms wrapped around Donaldโ€™s neck.โ€œPut me down!โ€ she giggled, swatting his shoulder.Donald smirk

    Luca, on the other hand, has been going crazy since his kids were taken from him. They were all he had left. His neighbors heard him breaking things so they called the police. Luca was taken to a facility after his tests came positive for PTSD and disruptive behavior. Days passed, and he stayed quiet. Cooperative, pretending to be fine. The doctors bought it. They thought he was getting better. Not until one evening, during a shift change, Luca made his move. A nurse had forgotten to properly secure the door after checking his vitals. Perfect. This was his chance to escape from this hellhole.Luca slipped out, moving down the hall, his heart pounding.He stayed close to the walls, avoiding eye contact with staffs. One wrong move and theyโ€™d drag him back. His bare feet barely made a sound against the cold floors; the exit was close. Just a few more steps. Thenโ€” โ€œHey! "What are you doing?โ€ A security guard spotted him. Luca bolted, running with all his might.Alarms sou

    It's been three months and Kiara has not had the guts to go out due to the trauma she faced in Luca's hands. Although Luca has been away from the Lux family for months now, Kiara still feels like he's watching her. She still hasn't told her family the truth about her relationship with Luca and his involvement in the kidnap.The Lux home had never been this quiet before. There was no music playing from Kiaraโ€™s room, no late-night TV chatter, no laughter echoing through the halls.Maria sighed as she walked past the closed door of her daughterโ€™s bedroom, hesitating for a moment before knocking softly.โ€œKiara, sweetheart?โ€She heard nothing.She knocked again. โ€œItโ€™s morning. You should eat something.โ€There was a long pause before a tired voice. โ€œNot hungry.โ€Maria pushed the door open, stepping inside. Kiara was curled up on the couch by the window, staring blankly at her phone. The curtains were still drawn, blocking out the sunlight.Maria sat beside her, placing a gentle hand on her

    A Few Months Later********************The courtroom was filled with quiet murmurs as lawyers shuffled papers and the judge prepared to begin. It was the final custody hearing for Sam and Katie, and Annieโ€™s heart pounded as she sat at the plaintiffโ€™s table, waiting for the moment that would decide everything. Across from her in the room, was Luca, who sat stiffly, his expression unreadable. He looked calm, but Annie knew better. This wasnโ€™t the Luca she had once known. The man sitting before her had changed. For years, Luca had raised Sam and Katie without her, and for a time, they had been safe. But then, things changed. He became reckless. Cold. Dangerous although he had been that way, which was why Annie left him, she didn't think he would one day show his true colors to the kids.The judge, a woman in her late fifties with gray hair and sharp eyes, cleared her throat. โ€œWe are here today to finalize the custody arrangement for Samuel and Katherine Ettore."

    โ€œPowerโ€™s out, completely out,โ€ one of the nurses shouted in the dark hallway of the hospital. The emergency lights flickered off and on for a moment and then came back on, but the sense of unease had not.โ€œListen, we canโ€™t stay here,โ€ said Damian, his voice low as he looked around the nearly empty corridor. โ€œThis hospital isnโ€™t safe anymore.โ€Maria nodded quickly, clutching Kiaraโ€™s hand tighter. โ€œIโ€™m scared for Kiara,โ€ she said softly.Kiara, still shaken, couldn't say a word. She just sat there mopping. Harrison stood near the door, keeping his hand on his radio. โ€œWe need to move to a safer hospital. Iโ€™m calling for transport. We can't use my car. This place has been compromised, obviously.โ€ Damian frowned. โ€œCompromised? What do you mean?โ€ โ€œNot sure yet,โ€ Harrison replied. โ€œBut when power is cut like that, and there are strange sounds in the hall, you canโ€™t trust the security here.โ€ Maria interjected, โ€œSo, where do we go?โ€ Harrison sighed shortly. โ€œThereโ€™s a private facility on

    Kiara barely had time to react before Detective Harrison shoved her behind him, drawing his own weapon in one swift motion.โ€œDrop the gun!โ€ Harrison barked, his voice sharp and commanding.The intruder didnโ€™t hesitate. He fired at Kiara but missed.A loud bang echoed through the room.Kiara screamed, instinctively ducking as the bullet slammed into a nearby vase, shattering it into pieces. Maria shrieked, stumbling backward, while Damian threw himself in front of her, shielding her from the masked man.Harrison didnโ€™t waste a second. He fired back, forcing the masked man to dive for cover behind the couch.โ€œStay down!โ€ Harrison shouted at Kiara, keeping his gun targeted at the intruder.The masked man didnโ€™t stay hidden for long. In a blur of movement, he lunged out, knocking over a chair as he went towards Kiara.Her heart seized. He was coming straight for her.Harrison moved fast, stepping between them. Both Harrison and the masked man clashed violently, fists colliding in a flurry
