As days passed, the weight on Aurora’s shoulders only grew heavier. The pain in her chest was constant — a sharp, relentless ache she couldn’t escape. She still couldn’t believe Lucian had betrayed her.

The man she had trusted, the man she had loved, had deceived her so thoroughly that it left her breathless.

And what hurt even more was that he still had the audacity to lie to her.

And this time, there was no one left to save it. No father to step in with his calm wisdom, no allies to rally around her. Just silence and betrayal.And Don Ramon Blackwood was at the center of it all.He wasn’t satisfied with taking the chairman seat. No — that would’ve been too simple. Too kind. Instead, he was going after everything. Piece by piece, Lancaster Corporation was being carved up. The branches they’d fought so hard to establish were being seized one by one, their assets frozen under a mountain of lawsuits.Lawsuits… against a dead man.Aurora still couldn’t wrap her head around it. How it was even possible, she didn’t know. But somehow, Don Ramon had fo

    The vacation house was quiet — too quiet. Even as Aurora moved through its familiar halls, the silence pressed against her like a weight.This house had always been a refuge, a place of warmth and laughter. But now it felt like a fortress — cold, empty, and heavy with the burden of everything she’d lost. And the worst part? She was building that fortress with trembling hands.The work kept her from falling apart.She spent the day putting things in order — securing the house, stashing away the family’s remaining assets, and setting up Red’s mainframe in the basement.

She kept everything hidden there: the jewelry, the cash, and the few important documents she’d managed to grab from the mansion before the banks could seize them.Lucing and June, their longtime caretakers, helped her without hesitation. Despite everything, they had stayed loyal when so many others had turned their backs. Their daug

But she’s safer in the US. If she were here, Don Ramon would use her against me.”“You don’t have to do this alone,” Beth said softly. “We’re

    Aurora woke to the soft murmur of voices and the sterile scent of antiseptic. Her eyelids felt heavy, the light filtering through them warm but too bright.

    The moment they arrived at the mansion, Loyd couldn’t sit still — a little ball of energy, running around like a wind-up toy. Thankfully, there were plenty of staff around to keep an eye on him.As expected, the first thing he asked for was food, and Carmela immediately took care of him. Aurora wanted to stop her mother and insist she take a break, but Carmela wouldn’t hear of it. Her love for Loyd was overwhelming — and as a result, the little boy was getting spoiled rotten.Letting them be, Aurora decided to start unpacking their things after finishing her meal. She’d managed to get a decent amount of rest on the plane, so at least she wasn’t too tired.Once everything was sorted, they finally put Loyd down for a nap. Of course, even then, the little boy chose to sleep next to h
