While Isabela breathed hatred and vengeance for her captor and his filthy intentions, Alejandro roared with fury like a wounded lion.

The hall was wrapped in a tense silence, broken only by the sound of Alejandro's footsteps as he approached Barragán.

The partial blackout had given him the advantage he needed against his enemy, although he knew Damián Barragán was not the one he had to worry about now.

The dense atmosphere was charged with aggression, like a storm sweeping everything in its path.

Alejandro seemed calm, but his tense body revealed a stillness more dangerous than any scream or threat.

Barragán was lying on the floor, reduced to powerlessness by Alejandro himself.

Alejandro's men had killed most of Barragán’s men, while among Alejandro's own, some were wounded and others—like the orange-beret men—had casualties too, though some remained unharmed.

Among the wounded, nurse Katherine was tending to t

    The roar of the engine was swallowed by the night as they approached the Villa.Ramiro stepped out first, his senses on high alert, and Alejandro followed with Isabela still in his arms. She was so exhausted she had fallen asleep resting on Alejandro’s shoulder.The night breeze caressed Isabela’s face, as if the wind itself wanted to console her after the hell she had just escaped.Isabela slowly opened her eyes, recognizing the ground beneath her feet, though it wasn’t quite as she remembered.The impact was immediate.The Villa was… destroyed.Marble columns broken in half.Shattered reinforced windows.Fire had licked the walls, leaving its blackened mark on what once stood as a symbol of elegance.The main gate hung from a single hinge, like a defeated soldier.The silence was another character there—thick, grieving.Isabela couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow as she remembere

    The mansion rose like a relic of time, untouched in its luxury and elegance, as if Andreas Mikelos had foreseen that one day his princess Isabela would return as queen to take her place in his empire. But beyond all that gleaming marble, the imposing columns, and the windows that opened to a turquoise sea stirred by the Aegean wind, there were secrets buried within those walls. Secrets that now demanded to come out of the shadows into the light.— Now that the children are asleep, I want you to come with me. — Just like the day you revealed your secrets by opening your secret vault, it's time you learned the secrets Andreas Mikelos kept.Isabela stopped in front of one of the double doors in the east wing. Alejandro followed behind, silent, watchful, walking with the firmness of an imposing emperor.— It's here… — said Isabela in barely a whisper, pulling a hidden key from inside a solid gold figurine. She inserted it into the loc

    While Melina waited for the general’s arrival, Isabela let her eyes wander over several photographs.—Are you just going to sit there doing nothing, Isabela?– asked Alejandro, sitting on the edge of the desk, gazing at his wife with feline eyes.—No. But I’ll give Melina a little head start.– she replied, her mouth curling into a smirk that amused Alejandro.—Almost makes me feel sorry for that poor fool.—Why?– asked Isabela, locking eyes with Alejandro.—Because Melina might feel pity for him for being the eldest son of her husband Leonidas.– leaning in, he kissed her on the lips.—But you won’t show him any mercy, my queen.Alejandro felt proud of his wife, and he didn’t want to miss a single move she made against Christopoulos and his father’s enemies.Turning his eyes to a recording, Alejandro suggested:—You could start with this...

    The barrel of the gun rested against his right temple like a cold caress.Christopoulos was breathing heavily, his hand trembling, while his heart pounded like a drum in his chest. Giving the order to kill someone was very different from seeing oneself on the other side of the gun.His office was dimly lit, and the echo of his own misery drilled into his ears. He had ordered everyone in his mansion to leave.No one was to see him fall. Not his servants, not his lover, not his men. Not even those who still owed him loyalty… if he had any left.—This is the end, Christopoulos—he said to himself, whispering his sentence to the air with a hollow laugh—. I never thought I’d see myself in this situation. Me, the great Christopoulos… This was impossible.His hands trembled. His index finger stroked the trigger with the familiarity of someone who had given many death orders… but never his own.When he finally gathered

    Isabela's sister couldn’t fall asleep, even though it was three in the morning and she felt exhausted.Because Isabela’s voice had reopened old wounds. One in particular was deeper than the rest. One that neither time, nor pride, nor the miles between them could heal.And deep inside, a soft but persistent anger whispered:— You took everything from me. Dad's love. Alejandro’s love. You kept everything I ever longed for.She rubbed her face, as if she could wipe the past away with her hands. But the tears came without permission.Tears from an old wound that still oozed pain and rage.And now that Isabela was asking her to return, that wound felt more alive than ever.— To go back to my father’s house. To the land where I left behind so many memories...— To relive the crime scene.— I don’t know if I want justice or if I just want to watch Isabela’s world burn.— To see her happy with Alejandro… I don’t know

    Isabela walked out of the room with her heart ablaze with fury. She no longer cried, but her chest ached so much it made it hard to breathe.Her so-called calm was merely the prelude to the chaos boiling inside her. Her hands trembled and burned. Everything inside her was rage and disappointment.Once again, her perfect world was crumbling before her. Once again, Dino’s words echoed in her head like a lingering curse.— Alejandro was never truly yours. He’s cheated on you with other women… If you don’t believe me, ask him yourself.— That bastard! I saved myself for one man, and you slept with every woman who spread her legs for you…— But if my sister thinks I’ll let her sleep with Alejandro the way she did with Christopoulos… she’ll have to kill me first.Isabela burned with rage, never had she so deeply wished she didn’t have a heart.Every step she took thundered against the marble floor, an echo

    The sky had turned red for Isabela, as if even the heavens could sense the storm about to erupt inside the Mikelos mansion.The fine linen curtains quivered slightly with the sea breeze, and inside Isabela’s room, the air grew thick—almost suffocating.Everything in the house seemed calm, but not in Isabela’s mind.She remained still for a few seconds, her fingers gripping the back of the chair, as if letting go would make her crumble entirely.Alejandro’s words hung in the air, spoken with that tone—part guilt, part resignation—he used when he knew he could no longer hide the truth.— “Fífi... always came after me, Isabela. Even before you and I got married.”Time seemed to freeze at that confession.Isabela blinked slowly, as if her body resisted processing everything she had just heard.Alejandro had confessed all the secrets hidden behind her sister’s hypocritical gaze.It made her burn wi
