As Suzanne approached the end of the aisle, the murmurs in the venue softened, all eyes fixed on her.

Then, she saw him.

Her father, Armstrong Smith, stood just ahead, his expression a mix of pride and regret. His hands clenched at his sides, and for a fleeting moment, he looked as if he might falter. But when their eyes met, he stepped forward, his voice thick with emotion.

"I'm sorry, my baby," he murmured, his voice barely above a whisper. "If I could turn back time, I would have been a better father to you."

Suzanne’s lips curved into a soft smile, her heart lighter than she ever thought possible. "I've forgiven you long ago," she said sincerely. "I just wanted you to understand what family truly means. Thank you for being here."

His throat bobbed as he swallowed hard. "Can you do me the honor?" He opened his arm in invitation.

Without hesitation, Suzanne slipped her hand into the crook of his arm. As they began their walk down the aisle, the sound of violins and a grand piano fi

    The servants moved like shadows. Their footsteps were silent as they placed dish after dish of delicacies before the family.Suzanne Smith sat quietly, her hands folded in her lap. Her heart was heavy with an all-too-familiar tension.At the head of the table, Beatrice Langford perched like a queen. Her hawk-like eyes scanned Suzanne with barely concealed disdain. Every detail of her appearance, from her perfectly coiffed hair to her pristine pearl necklace, added to her air of superiority.“And how long has it been now?”Her voice cut through the air like a blade. Cold. Sharp. Deliberate. She didn’t even look at Suzanne as she spoke, slicing into her roast lamb with clinical precision.Suzanne stiffened. She knew exactly where this was going.“Three years,” she said softly. Her voice was steady, but inside, a storm was brewing.Beatrice’s lips curled into a smirk. She set her knife and fork down with deliberate elegance.“Three years of marriage and not even a whisper of a child.”The

    Suzanne’s heart pounded. Cold panic surged through her veins. Her body trembled, her mind clouded in a haze. The weight of the moment pressed down on her like a suffocating blanket.Charles’s eyes locked onto hers, the malicious glint unmistakable. He approached with slow, deliberate steps. Suzanne’s body instinctively recoiled, but there was nowhere to run. The bedframe dug into her back. The cold sheets beneath her offered no comfort."Do you think you can defy me?" His voice was low, menacing. "You’ve forgotten your place, Suzanne. Let me remind you."She opened her mouth to speak, to fight back, but no words came out.His hand was already at her back, fingers gripping the fabric of her dress. He yanked it down, exposing her skin.“No, please.” Her voice cracked, barely a whisper.He didn’t listen.The belt cut through the air with a sharp snap. Leather met flesh with a sickening crack.Pain exploded across her back.Suzanne gasped, her breath catching.Another lash followed. Then a

    Suzanne adjusted her black gown, tugging it down to cover every inch of her bruised skin. The fabric clung to her body, suffocating her like a prison. Every movement sent a dull ache through her battered form.She had chosen this dress carefully. Long sleeves. A high neckline. A perfect disguise. If no one saw the marks, they wouldn't ask questions.Her reflection stared back at her from the mirror, a ghost of the woman she used to be. The makeup masked the bruises, but nothing could hide the exhaustion in her eyes.The weight of the day pressed down on her. Last night’s torment. This morning’s humiliation. And now, the dread of the event ahead.A sharp voice shattered the silence."Get down here, Suzanne!"Beatrice.Her mother-in-law’s voice was like a blade, slicing through the walls, demanding obedience.Suzanne swallowed hard and grabbed her handbag, fingers tightening around the leather as if it could anchor her.She hurried down the stairs, her heart pounding.

    Suzanne Smith, no, Mrs. Langford, had once had it all. Wealth, status, a future laid out for her like a red carpet leading straight to an empire. Three years ago, she had walked away from all of it, convinced that love was worth more than power.She had been so sure. So certain that she didn’t need her father’s fortune, not as long as she had Charles. He was supposed to be her prince charming, the man who would love her, protect her, and prove her father wrong. She had imagined a beautiful life by his side, filled with laughter and stolen kisses, a home that felt safe in ways her cold, gilded upbringing never had.But fairytales were just that. Stories. And hers had unraveled into a nightmare.The man she once adored had become a stranger. Then a monster. Behind closed doors, Charles mocked her, belittled her, crushed her under the weight of his disdain. His words cut deeper than knives, sharp-edged insults that carved away at her self-worth until there was barely anything left of the

    The nurse turned toward Suzanne, noticing the abrupt shift in her demeanor."Is everything alright, Mrs. Langford?" she asked, her voice soft.Suzanne blinked, startled, realizing she had been holding her breath.Now that it was back, it came in uneven, shallow gasps."Dr. Carter..." she repeated, her voice trembling slightly as she fought to keep her composure."He’s the one treating me?"The nurse nodded, oblivious to the turmoil brewing in Suzanne's chest."Yes, that's right. He’s one of our top specialists. He should be here shortly."She smiled, too cheery for the moment, then added, "If you need anything in the meantime, just let me know."But Suzanne barely registered her words.Her mind was racing, spiraling through memories of a time long past.Liam's warm brown eyes.His infectious laugh.How he always seemed to know what she needed before she even said it.She had buried those memories, locked them away in a box she never wanted to open again.But now, with the mention of hi

    The air thickened the moment Beatrice Langford stepped into the room.For a fleeting second, Suzanne caught it. The sharp glint of calculation in the older woman’s eyes. Beatrice took in the scene, assessing, measuring, before smoothing her expression into one of exaggerated concern.With practiced ease, she softened, her lips curving into a carefully constructed smile as she stepped toward the bed."Suzanne, darling, you look pale."Her voice was honeyed, her touch light as she placed a perfectly manicured hand on Suzanne’s arm. Almost gentle. Almost sincere.If Suzanne didn’t know better, she might have believed it.But she did know better."You should be resting," Beatrice continued, voice dipped in faux warmth. "Not exerting yourself with unnecessary stress."Suzanne barely blinked, her body stiff under the weight of the performance. She had long since learned to tolerate Beatrice’s brand of manipulation. The way she played the doting mother-in-law when it suited her.This wasn’t c

    As Beatrice was escorted out, Sarah and Charles stood in the hallway. The tension between them thickened."You said you wouldn’t sleep with her, Charles," Sarah hissed, her anger barely contained. "But here we are, with you making babies with her."Charles's jaw tightened, frustration evident in his eyes. "It happened the day I came back drunk, Sarah. It meant nothing."Sarah’s face flushed with rage. "If you don’t fix this, Charles, I swear I’ll leave, and you know that means. I’m not going to keep playing these games."She turned to walk away, but Charles grabbed her wrist, halting her. His grip was firm. When he spoke again, his voice was low but calm."I found something about Suzanne," he said, his words sharp.Her curiosity piqued, Sarah stopped and narrowed her eyes. "What do you mean, something about Suzanne?"Charles leaned in closer, his gaze cold. "She’s hiding a lot more than just her pregnancy."---The next day came faster than Suzanne expected.

    The car rolled to a stop in the long, grand driveway. Suzanne stared out the window, her fingers tightening around the seatbelt as she took in the sight before her.A line of maids stood at attention, their faces glowing with excitement. The moment they spotted her, they erupted into cheerful shouts.“Welcome back, ma’am!”Her gaze darted to the house, now decorated with bright balloons and flowing ribbons—festive, almost surreal. The air smelled faintly of fresh roses, a scent she hadn’t associated with this place in years.She swallowed. Why does this feel so… off?“Is this real?” she murmured, half to herself.Beside her, Charles opened his mouth to answer, but another voice beat him to it."Of course, it’s real, dear."Beatrice.Suzanne turned to find her mother-in-law stepping forward, her expression the perfect blend of warmth and authority. She reached out, taking Suzanne’s hands in hers, her grip firm.“You deserve nothing less than the best.”Her voice was gentle—too gentle. T

  • The Heiress Escape   A beautiful Moment

    Suzanne stood before the mirror, her breath catching as she took in her reflection. The gown was exquisite—an elegant, off-the-shoulder masterpiece with intricate lace detailing that cascaded down the bodice and into a flowing train. The soft ivory fabric shimmered under the light, catching every delicate movement. Her hair was styled in a graceful updo, loose strands framing her face, while a cathedral-length veil trailed behind her, completing the look of a bride straight out of a dream.Her eyes sparkled, not just with excitement but with a deep, unwavering love. Today was the day she became Mrs. Carter."I can't believe I'm getting married to your son, Mrs. Carter," Suzanne said, turning toward Eloise, who stood watching her with warm, motherly pride.Eloise smiled, stepping closer. "I knew you both would always find your way back to each other. You two are meant to be, my beautiful bride."Suzanne swallowed the lump in her throat. This was the moment she had expected to miss her

    Prison Visiting CenterLeo Carter stepped into the stark, dimly lit visiting area, the scent of disinfectant lingering in the air. The walls were gray, the chairs metal and bolted to the floor, and a thick pane of glass separated him from the person he had come to see—his son, Finn Carter.Finn sat on the other side, wearing an orange prison jumpsuit. His once confident and cunning eyes were now shadowed with exhaustion and regret. His knuckles were bruised, likely from a fight, and there was an emptiness about him that hadn’t been there before. He stared at Leo through the glass, eyes cautious, waiting for him to speak first.Leo picked up the phone attached to the divider. Slowly, Finn did the same."You actually came," Finn muttered, voice hoarse.Leo exhaled, his grip tightening around the receiver. "Of course, I did. You're my son, Finn."Finn scoffed, shaking his head. "Your son? If I was truly your son, I wouldn’t be sitting in here, would I?" His voice dripped with bitterness,

    The tension in the boardroom was suffocating. The long, polished mahogany table gleamed under the overhead lights, but all eyes were locked on the man at the head of the table—Armstrong Smith.Suzanne sat opposite him, poised and unwavering. She was dressed for war, her black blazer crisp, her expression unreadable. Next to her, Nina leaned back lazily, one leg crossed over the other, exuding quiet confidence.Armstrong, however, looked anything but confident. His fingers tapped impatiently against the table, his jaw tight. He had built this company, shaped it, controlled it. And now, his own daughter was challenging him in front of the entire board.One of the directors, an older man with silver hair, cleared his throat. “Ms. Smith, you’ve called this emergency meeting with serious allegations against your father. We need to know exactly what you’re claiming.”Suzanne didn’t hesitate. She slid a folder onto the table and met every board member’s gaze before speaking. “I am claiming t

    She turned her gaze to her lawyer."Thank you, Atty. Greg." She extended her hand, and he shook it firmly."It was a pleasure, Ms. Smith," he said with a proud nod.Before she could say more, warm hands touched her shoulders. Liam.He leaned down, kissing her forehead softly. “Considering I wasn’t around when you were fighting this, you still pulled it off. Congratulations to us, my love.”Suzanne nudged him playfully. “Oh, come on. You helped me—without William getting that recording, I wouldn’t have stood a chance.”Liam chuckled, pressing a small kiss to the top of her head. Their moment was interrupted by a quiet but deliberate clearing of a throat.They turned to see Anna standing before them, holding the child in her arms."Anna." Suzanne stepped forward, her expression softening as she greeted her.Meanwhile, Liam’s gaze flickered past them, landing on Judge Hansel. He straightened, excusing himself before walking toward the judge.Suzanne stepped forward with a small smile. "

    Judge Hansel studied Attorney Barnes carefully, his fingers tapping against the bench. “How do you know that, when the first witness was lying when she stated she had no relationship with Charles Langford?”Barnes adjusted his glasses and stepped forward. “I have multiple pieces of evidence to prove she is lying. If I may, Your Honor.”The judge gave a firm nod. “Proceed.”Barnes walked over to his table and retrieved a small recording device. Turning to face the courtroom, he held it up.“This,” he announced, his voice strong and deliberate, “is an audio recording of Charles Langford and Sarah Thompson.”The room fell into an eerie silence.Charles’ smirk vanished instantly.Barnes pressed play. The courtroom filled with Charles’ voice—low, menacing, unmistakable.“You think you can defy me, Sarah?”A loud slap. A muffled cry."You whore," he spat, "Do you think I’m asking you?"

He looked up, a sharp command in his voice.“Let us proceed,” he announced, his gaze flicking between the two parties. “Call your first witness, Attorney Barnes.”Gregory Barnes stood, nodding respectfully to the judge. He turned to Suzanne, who was seated beside him, her posture rigid, but her eyes determined. She’d come too far to let this fall apart now.Greg walked toward the witness stand, and everyone in the room shifted their attention. The door creaked open, and Sarah Thompson entered, her heels clicking sharply against the polished floor. She made her way toward the stand, looking calm but a little too composed for Suzanne’s liking. Sarah swore her oath, raising her right hand, her voice steady but with an edge that made Suzanne's blood run c

    Three weeks ago.And then, just like before, he took what was his.His lips crashed against hers, claiming her, stealing the breath from her lungs. Suzanne melted into him, her fingers fisting into his shirt as she let herself forget—just for a moment—that there was still a war to fight."Let's take this to the bedroom."Before she could respond, Liam swept her off her feet. She gasped, instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck, her legs tightening around his waist as he carried her effortlessly toward his bedroom.The door slammed open with a forceful kick of his boot, and in one swift motion, he dropped her onto the bed, his body hovering over hers as he began to peel off his shirt. Suzanne’s breath hitched, anticipation building, but just as things were about to escalate, his phone rang.“Wrong timing, Wil,” Liam muttered, glancing at the screen. He was about to end the call when the urgency in Will’s voice stopped him."Finn has made his move," Will said urgently.Liam’s fac

The morning sun reflected off its sleek exterior, making it shimmer like a diamond nestled in a sea of lush greenery."Is this place your new home?" she asked, her voice laced with curiosity.Liam smiled, slipping his hands into his pockets. "I bought this place a long time ago, Mom. It’s not just a house—it’s a retreat. A place to unwind, away from the chaos."A soft click interrupted them.They turned to see Mira, holding up her phone, snapping pictures at different angles."This place is insane," she muttered in awe.And it was.The house sat elegantly amidst a breathtaking landscape. Vibrant flowers—roses, jasmine, and lilies—lined the stone pathway leading to the entrance, their sweet fragrance filling the air.
