2024-07-28 10:15:30Mark smiled, then turned his face back to the front. “Sorry, it was an accident. I was just surprised by what you said.”
“Surprised about what? You should listen to me before jumping to conclusions,” Alicia pouted.
“So ... how many people have seen your post, Miss?” Mark asked worriedly. He started thinking quickly about how to fix the situation.
“Do you think I'm that dumb, Mr. Carter? I only sent the video to Aunt Liliana. I bet she won't have to look for another woman for my brother now,” Alicia said proudly.
Alicia had a better relationship with her stepmother than Regis did. Liliana Ritter had been her foster mother since she was born.
Liliana had a good relationship with their biological mother, so after Viviane Rosendale died giving birth to Alicia, Diego Lorenzo trusted Liliana to take care of his children.

The Mafia's Dangerous Desire Chapter 82 - Changed A Lot
"Yes, you're right. It's none of my business. But, I didn't expect you to end up like this. Turns out the wheel has brought you to this point and stopped."Amora's jaw tightened at Hilde's jab, but she tried to ignore it.On the other hand, Rayden noticed his mother's clenched fist. He guessed she was trying to hold back her anger. Reflexively, Rayden shot a sharp glance at the woman who had angered his mother.Amora forced a smile. "It's not over yet, Hilde. Don't rush to die," she replied, making Hilde's face darken.Amora didn't know where Hilde had heard about her problems. Although curious, she didn't want to prolong the issue in front of Rayden.Her son was listening to their conversation with a curious look on his face. Her past was part of her life. She didn't want her son's pure life to be implicated in it. Besides, it wasn't the right time for Rayden to know.The corner of Hilde's lips lifted slightly. She glanced at the boy who stayed close to Amora and seemed to hate her.

"The doctor said... for now, Mom needs plenty of rest. This week, he will examine her heart condition in more detail. Fortunately, Mr. Franklin brought her to the hospital quickly, so they could take immediate action."Henry explained his mother's condition to Amora.Emma Adams was conscious, but she couldn't talk much. Her face still looked very pale. She was still under the care of nurses and doctors.Amora's eyes gazed at Emma's weary face lying on the stretcher. Her heart ached to see the elderly woman with an oxygen mask to aid her breathing.Several tubes were attached to Emma's chest, connected to medical devices Amora didn't understand.Rayden approached Emma. He carefully held the elderly woman's fingers. His small eyes looked at Emma sorrowfully."Grandma, get well soon. Ray promises not to be naughty and make you upset. You can watch your favorite

Amora's eyes widened. She looked at Hilde with confusion."What do you mean, Hilde? Don't talk nonsense! When did I ever do that?" Amora retorted, equally fiercely.She was starting to get angry, thinking Hilde was making up statements to tarnish her reputation.Hilde's lips curled into a sneer. "Why? Do you forget falling down the stairs and I was accused of being the perpetrator?"Amora gasped. She recalled the incident that happened many years ago.Amora had indeed fallen down the school stairs, resulting in a broken ankle and needing hospital treatment.For almost a week, Amora didn't attend school, and when she returned, she only heard that Hilde had transferred to another school. However, she never suspected that the reason Hilde transferred was related to her small accident!"Why would you say that? What's the connection between my

“I'm sorry, Hilde. I really had no idea you went through something so tough back then,” said Amora with deep sympathy.She sincerely apologized from the bottom of her heart for the events Hilde had experienced several years ago.Even though Amora knew her apology was very late, she felt it was necessary.Hilde cleared her throat softly. She felt a bit awkward because she didn't expect Amora to acknowledge the mistake she had denied some time ago.“Do you think apologizing will make any difference?” Hilde said nervously. She found Amora's sudden friendliness strange.Amora smiled softly. “I know it won't change anything, but I hope you can accept it. And if you really want to do something, I guess you now have the upper hand since you have everything. Isn't that right, Hilde Maven?”“Don't call me by that family name a

"All your organs seem to be in good condition. But you should pay more attention to your diet, Regis. Your stomach acid levels are quite high. So, watch your eating habits and get to bed earlier every night."James Ritter—the Lorenzo family’s personal doctor—explained the results of Regis's full-body medical check-up from a few days ago.James noted some important points in Regis’s patient records, and then prescribed for him to pick up at the pharmacy."This is a prescription for stomach medication you can take if you feel your stomach isn't doing well. I’m also giving you additional vitamins you should take regularly. It's best if you take them consistently."Regis sighed deeply upon hearing the usual long lecture from his personal doctor."I know, Professor Ritter," Regis replied indifferently.James gave a slight smile. "You really haven't

Regis had just left James Ritter’s office. He walked down the corridor towards the elevator. But his steps halted when he saw the woman he had been looking for.Amora Lysander stood in front of the elevator with a gloomy face. She seemed deep in thought, not noticing Regis now standing beside her."Ahem!" Regis cleared his throat softly to get her attention.But Amora remained still, her head bowed as she looked at the old phone in her hand.Regis glanced at her with his sharp eyes, a slight smile curling on his lips. “Amora Lysander,” he called.Reflexively, Amora looked up, raising her hand and exclaiming, “Yes!”“Pfftt!”Regis struggled to hold back his laughter at Amora’s silly reaction. He hadn’t expected her to be so startled by his call.Amora’s eyes m

"You can call me if you need help taking care of Mrs. Adams, Henry. I'll help you as much as I can."Amora made this promise to Emma's son before she left with Rayden. She couldn't leave without feeling responsible. They were outside Emma’s hospital room.Hilde stood next to Henry with a sharp look, but she said nothing. Amora ignored her, knowing that Hilde disliked her presence there.Even though they had resolved their misunderstanding, Hilde still couldn’t let go of her anger and hatred toward Amora. It wasn’t easy for her to forget those bad memories.Amora also didn’t want to prolong her conflict with Hilde. She decided to act normally.Right now, Amora’s main concern was Emma’s condition. Even though she couldn’t help financially, she was sincere in offering her assistance to take care of Emma.That’s wha

"Why are you still here, Uncle?" Rayden asked with curiosity and a hint of worry in his voice.Regis was pleased with the boy's response."I'm waiting for you," Regis replied, glancing at Amora, who still looked upset.Rayden's eyes widened in disbelief at the answer.On the other hand, Amora shot a sharp look at Regis. "Didn't you say you'd wait in the lobby? I thought you'd changed your mind," she said coldly.Regis let out a small chuckle. He could sense the annoyance in the woman's voice towards him. However, this only made her more intriguing to him."I was looking for you upstairs. I thought you’d take a while, but you came down first. We just missed each other."Hearing Regis's explanation, Rayden turned to his mother, seemingly asking about what had happened without his knowledge.Amora cleared her throa

The Mafia's Dangerous Desire Chapter 400
“Do you want to meet your biological father, Miss Lysander?” Diego asked, his tone probing.He had considered arranging a meeting between them as a trade-off—if Amora agreed to leave Regis. “If you want, I can—”But Amora cut him off immediately. “That won’t be necessary!”Diego froze, caught off guard. He noticed the tears beginning to pool in her clear eyes, but there was something else there too—a sharp, almost predatory glare that made it clear she wasn’t someone to mess with.A faint, cold smile curved Diego’s lips. That side of her ... it was just like Alejandro Volker—and Diego hated that side the most.Even though he could see how angry Amora was with both Alejandro and himself, Diego couldn’t care less. In fact, he almost welcomed her hatred for Alejandro. To him, that was a win.‘Alejandro Volker … maybe the best punishment for you is your daughter’s hate,’ Diego thought with a twisted smile.He wanted Alejandro to feel the same kind of pain he felt now—being despised by you

"Are you criticizing how I handle my son, Miss Lysander?" Diego asked, his voice cold and piercing.The pressure in the air made Amora hold her breath. She quickly broke eye contact with the middle-aged man. That sharp gaze, almost suffocating in intensity, made her realize she might've crossed the line. Still, she didn’t believe anything she said was wrong.“I think you know what I really meant, Sir,” Amora replied, refusing to back down even a little.Diego scoffed. Her unyielding attitude both impressed and annoyed him. “If he hadn’t chosen a life with you, I wouldn’t have gone this far either, Miss Lysander,” he said as calmly as he could.Inside, though, rage was boiling in his chest. But he wasn’t about to let Amora see that she had managed to stir him so easily.Diego kept cornering her with harsh words, trying to make it seem like all his actions were her fault, as if she were the root of the problem. And that made Amora’s blood boil.‘No! I can’t lose it. He still has Grandma

“Mr. Lorenzo—”“Let’s talk over dinner,” Diego cut her off before Amora could say anything else. He signaled to one of his men standing by the door.Moments later, a server rolled in a cart of food that had clearly been prepared in advance. He placed a plate of beef bourguignon in front of Amora and Diego.The rich aroma of the dish made Amora’s stomach growl. She was starving—she hadn’t eaten a single thing since morning. But despite the tempting sight and smell in front of her, she held herself back.“I’m sorry, please take my plate away,” Amora said to the server.The man hesitated and looked toward Diego, whose expression had darkened at her refusal—clearly taking it as a sign of disrespect.Amora could sense the shift in Diego, too. Still, she stayed calm, projecting confidence as she stared him down. “I’m not hungry. So let’s just cut to the chase, Mr. Lorenzo.”Diego smirked. With a wave of his hand, the server quickly wheeled the food cart out of the room.“What do you want in

"Grandma ...."Amora’s whisper was soft and full of sorrow. She deeply regretted dragging her innocent grandmother into her mess.Clutching her phone tightly, Amora’s earlier resolve to avoid Diego completely shifted. Without a second thought, she bolted out of her rented house and rushed to the meeting place Diego had set.Thirty minutes later, she arrived. Amora glanced around before stepping toward the restaurant.Her brows furrowed when she saw the sign hanging on the restaurant’s door—it said closed. But the street outside still buzzed with activity like usual. A place like this shouldn’t be closing this early.Her heart pounded. A sinking feeling settled in her chest as her mind conjured all the terrible things that might be happening inside. For a second, she considered turning back. But then her grandmother’s face flashed in her mind, reigniting her courage.She took a deep breath, bracing herself, and pushed the door open. The silence inside sent a chill down her spine.The r

“Oh my God. What time is it?”Amora shot up in bed, completely startled to see the sun already high in the sky. She turned to glance at the wall clock and nearly panicked—it was almost ten in the morning. And she hadn’t even started prepping lunch for her husband and son yet.Running her fingers through her already-messy hair, she groaned, “Ugh, I can’t believe I slept this long.”She had only meant to lie down for a bit—but somehow, she ended up sleeping for three whole hours!Normally, no matter how tired she was, Amora never slept this deeply. Something felt off. She realized she’d been feeling unusually drained for the past week, and today it was even worse.“Am I ... actually sick?” she murmured, worry creeping into her voice.But a moment later, Amora shook her head firmly. She tried to shake off the fear with a positive affirmation. “No. I can’t be sick,” she said with conviction.She didn’t want to give Regis anything else to worry about—especially not her health. So she pushe

It had been three days since Regis, Amora, and Rayden moved into their modest rental home. A calm morning greeted them with warmth and cheer. The scent of freshly baked pizza mixed with the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air.“Morning, Dad,” Rayden greeted as his father walked out of the bathroom and joined them at the dining table.“Morning, Ray,” Regis replied, bumping fists with his son.Simple mornings like these had become a special kind of happiness for Regis over the past few days. A warm greeting and a genuine smile to start the day—no wealth or power could ever replace that.But deep down, Regis still carried a concern—he hadn’t secured any steady income yet. Over the past two days, he had applied to several companies, but not a single one had called him in for an interview.Regis suspected his father had a hand in that. Both Gino and Xavier had previously offered him positions in their personal businesses.But Regis turned them down. Their lines of work didn’

“Mad?” Amora raised an eyebrow.Regis gave a hesitant nod. “Aren’t you? I mean, you were completely silent on the drive here.”Amora let out a small laugh before replying, “I’m not mad. I was just a little annoyed earlier. I’m sorry.”Seeing how concerned Regis looked, she added, “But I’ve thought about it, and I understand—you were only trying to keep us safe.”Earlier, Amora had stayed quiet in the car, reflecting on Regis’s words. She realized that her stubbornness might’ve put them in danger. But Regis had misread her silence, thinking she was giving him the cold shoulder.“I was going to say sor—”Before she could finish her sentence, Regis leaned in and kissed her lips.Amora’s eyes widened in surprise. She quickly glanced around, noticing the agent who had accompanied them looked just as shocked. The agent immediately turned away, pretending not to see anything so as not to make Amora feel uncomfortable. But Amora's face had already turned bright red like a boiled lobster.“Reg

“Sir, are you sure you don’t want to rent it? If you’re not interested, I’ll pass it on to another potential tenant. Someone else is coming to view it this afternoon,” The agent said.Despite the agent’s subtle threat, Regis firmly declined. But before he could say more, Amora tugged on his arm and politely asked the agent if they could have a few minutes to talk in private.She pulled Regis aside to a quiet corner of the room and said, “Honey … I don’t think we’ll find another place like this for this kind of price, not with these specs. Don’t you want to at least think it over?”Regis paused, clearly seeing the look on Amora’s face—she didn’t want to lose this opportunity.They had to be careful with their spending right now. Offers like this didn’t come around often, and honestly, anyone would be tempted.But Regis had a gut feeling. Something about this just didn’t sit right. He suspected someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes, using the agent as a front.“But Amora … d

"Lysander Group Declares Bankruptcy! Charlie Lysander in Critical Condition!"That was the headline glaring back at Amora. Her face turned pale as shock washed over her.Oddly enough, she didn't feel even the slightest joy. She should've been happy to see the Lysander family suffer after they cast her aside seven years ago.But instead, seeing her grandfather lying helplessly in a hospital bed made her chest ache. She felt like he didn’t have much time left.Noticing Amora standing frozen with trembling hands, Regis immediately clasped her hands gently."What’s wrong, Sweetheart? What are you looking at?" Regis asked as he glanced at his wife's phone.Amora showed him the news article. "I had no idea the Lysander Group has been in financial trouble for a year now," she murmured after reading the details.Regis smirked slightly. He wasn't surprised in the least. "They had it coming, my love. Mario Lysander is a terrible businessman. He’s been running the company into the ground since h
