"Is Aunty Sara a real model now?" "Can we be in the pictures too?" "Dad, look at all the lights!" Their innocent enthusiasm made me smile despite my nerves. This was why I was doing this. To build something of my own, to be more than just the daughter of criminals. The dress settled around me l
Sara's point of view The nightmare came again. I sat bolt upright in bed, sheets tangled around my legs, heart pounding against my ribs. The courtroom. Always the courtroom. Mom's screams as they led her away still echoed in my ears, mixed with Louis's cold laughter. Moonlight filtered through m
Josh's Point of View The office lights dimmed automatically as night fell over the city. I should have gone home hours ago, but paperwork made a good excuse to avoid family dinner. To avoid seeing Sara across the table, beautiful and unreachable. My phone lit up with another message from Eva: "You
The prestigious New York studio buzzed with activity as the crew prepared for Sara's Dior campaign shoot. Makeup artists fussed over her face while stylists adjusted the flowing designer gown that cost more than most cars. Everything had to be perfect, until four tiny hurricanes burst through the do
Josh's Point of View The clock on my office wall ticked past midnight as I stared at the email that could destroy everything we'd built. Dior wanted to pull Sara's contract. Someone had leaked information about her parents to the press, painting her as the daughter of murderers rather than the risi
Sara's Point of View The mansion felt too small today. Every corner held memories of Josh, his laugh echoing down hallways, the lingering scent of his cologne in the study, the way his eyes followed me when he thought I wasn't looking. I couldn't focus on the script for tomorrow's commercial. The
Chapter 317 Eva's Point of View Family dinners had always been my favorite part of the day, but lately they'd become an exercise in watching an exquisite dance of denial. Tonight was no different as I observed Josh and Sara carefully avoid looking at each other while somehow being hyperaware of ev
Chapter 318 Sara's Point of View The envelope sat on my dressing table like a ticking bomb. Prison-issued paper, my mother's elegant handwriting somehow maintaining its grace despite her circumstances. I'd been staring at it for hours, unable to open it, unable to throw it away. My phone buzzed a
Chapter 343 Sara's Point of View The email to Versace sat drafted on my laptop, cursor blinking accusingly. Two simple words that could change everything: "I decline." My finger hovered over the send button when Josh burst into my room, waving a paper printout. "What is this?" His voice cracked
Chapter 342 The mansion's lights glowed warmly as Josh pulled up the long driveway, Sara's hand clasped tightly in his. Through the windows, they could see small faces pressed against the glass, waiting. "They haven't moved from that spot since you left," Helena's voice carried from the front step
Josh point of view The photoshoot studio buzzed with frantic energy as crew members broke down equipment. I burst through the doors, heart pounding against my ribs, only to find Sara already gone. "She left ten minutes ago," the photographer informed me. "Headed to the airport. Said something abo
The jasmine's sweetness wrapped around us as we sealed these vows with kisses. Somewhere in the mansion, a light flicked on, probably Helena watching with satisfaction as her family grew stronger. But in that moment, there was only Sara. Her love. Her acceptance. Her unwavering faith in the man I c
Josh's Point of View The garden's night-blooming jasmine filled the air with sweetness as I paced between rose bushes. Something felt different tonight, the weight of Marcus's threats mysteriously lifted, leaving me oddly unbalanced. Like a prisoner suddenly finding his cell door unlocked. "We nee
The trap was set in Helena's private office, every detail meticulously planned. Max's security team monitored feeds from hidden cameras while William stood ready with legal documents. Eva kept watch through the mansion's security system, making sure Josh remained occupied with the quadruplets' "emer
"Including whatever happened at Danny's Bar," Eva added quietly. Helena's fingers tightened on her chair arms. "That night is buried for good reason." "Clearly not buried deep enough," William observed. "The question is: how do we handle this without making things worse?" "I have contacts in the
Chapter 338 "Uncle Josh is in trouble," Mia announced, her small face unusually serious as she burst into Eva's study. Her brothers tumbled in after her, all wearing matching expressions of concern. Eva looked up from her paperwork, noting their agitation. "What makes you say that, sweetheart?" "
Chapter 337 Sara's Point of View Something changed in Josh after that man appeared in the alley. The warmth we'd built, those precious moments of connection - all vanished behind walls higher than ever before. He moved through meetings and photoshoots like a ghost, checking his phone constantly wi
