"Rebecca, you could have at least given him a chance to talk. I am sure he wanted to clear up the misunderstanding you two have," Rebecca's father began, settling down at the dinner table.

The fork in Rebecca's hand paused mid-air, and she stared down at her plate, her expression clouded with gloom.

"What? You spoke with Ed!?" Her mother chimed in, and her surprise was evident, "What did he say?"

"Stop mentioning him in front of me!" Rebecca snapped, her frustration boiling over, "I have no relation with him, nor do I care about his existence," Rebecca flared at her parents, "And both of you get over with him. If you are still thinking he is some kind of gentleman and would care for our family, then you are wrong. None of you understand his twisted nature and any help for our business from him is a complete fantasy."

"Can you explain why he suddenly cancelled the engagement 3 years ago without giving us any solid reason? I went to his office, but he informed the staff that I was not allowed to step into his office. When I talk to his grandfather, even he didn't know anything about his reasoning for acting that way," Rebecca's father asked in order to know the truth. The last time, he was forced to send his daughter abroad without caring about the truth.

Rebecca glanced at her father and added, "I am just as confused as you, Dad. He did not give me a single explanation for what I supposedly did wrong three years ago. But his action made me realise- he holds some deep grudge against me. Now, I hate him to my core and I could not care less how he sees me."

Rebecca's outburst stunned both her parents, and they could not make themselves speak about Edward more. Still, her father had his own reason for wanting her to reconsider Edward, though he knew there was little he could do. Trying to steer the conversation elsewhere, he cleared his throat and asked, "Well, how has your time gone with Mr.Pete!"

Rebecca had lost her appetite long ago, and now, hearing that old Man's name, she felt more repulsive. She pushed the chair back and stood up, her voice cold as she said, "It is not about my happiness, hence asking my opinion should not be a concern. As long as I can help you with your business, that's all that matters." Without another word, she turned and headed to her room.

Rebecca's mother let go of the spoon and leaned on her chair, with her eyes on Rebecca's father and said, "I am scared for our daughter, Klein. I feel like we are doing extremely terrible things with our daughter."

Hearing this, Rebecca's father yelled, clenching his fist on the table, "Do you think I enjoy watching her sad, and disheartened? Do you think I sleep peacefully at night? We are finished if she doesn’t marry Mr.Pete! Our future is hanging by a thread," he wiped his mouth with a napkin and stood up, his voice tense and resolute, "She will be fine with Pete. She will have not just a husband but an equal stake in his empire."

Back in the room, Rebecca sat by the window and let her mind drift to the day when he agreed to their engagement and even made her feel he was happy to get her as a partner. They got a blessing from his parents, too. So when did it all fall apart?

Suddenly her phone buzzed with an email notification. Rebecca glanced at it and sighed. She was assigned to interview Veronica Black. After a year of working as a media journalist, she had interviewed countless celebrities, but this one- Veronica- was the last person she wanted to face.

Rebecca climbed onto the bed and turned off the light, letting out a weary sigh. Little did she know, the peace she desperately sought was about to be shattered the very next morning.

As the morning arrived, Rebecca was dragged by her mother to the hall, only to find her father standing in front of a TV, remote in his hand and his face had lost all the colours.

She saw the news that was exclusively rolling on in all news channels. "The reputed Businessman Pete Solanki has been arrested for dealing drugs and making poisonous medicine for years. A large amount of his business has been seized by the special branch and by no means anything could help him from this tragedy."

Rebecca's father fell to the ground, clutching his forehead, crying out, "We are finished, Leena. We are doomed. Now nothing can stop our business from being bankrupt."

"Klein," Rebecca's mother rushed to her husband and grabbed his shoulder, "Don't stress, please. Your health is fragile, and the last thing we can tolerate is seeing you worsen."

Rebecca breathed through her lips as she could sense what her father was thinking. But they overlooked the fact that Pete was not a good man. They should not put such faith in him.

"Dad, we will think of something else for our problem. Pete is not the end!" Rebecca said with an assured tone since her father required some comforting words.

Klein stood up from the ground, turning to face her with a look of deep disappointment.

"He was our hope because he was the only person who was willing to marry you. The scandal three years ago tarnished your reputation in the worst possible way. If Edward had agreed to marry you, people would forget the incident. However, his rejection- it sealed your character, brand you in a way no one will forget," Klein's voice cracked, losing his composure, " there is nothing left, Rebecca. You have to make Edward marry you if you really want to see me alive."

Klein brushed past Rebecca, retreating to his room without another word. Leena's face twisted with guilt as she watched her daughter, knowing how unfairly they were treating her, but Klein's desperation to save the business left them with little choice

She approached Rebecca and muttered, "I am sorry," then quietly followed her husband to the room.

Rebecca stood frozen, staring into the space ahead, feeling as if a heavy weight had settled in her chest, crushing her from the inside.

    ★★★★★ "I would like to know where I went wrong," Connor said after steadying his frayed nerves. His hands clenched at his sides, itching to lash out, but his curiosity for the flaw in his grand plan kept him rooted. Edward stepped slightly to the side, positioning Rebecca protectively beside him. His gaze bore into Connor with quiet intensity. "Your mistake?" he began, voice steady and deliberate. "It started the moment Grandfather insisted I give you an equal opportunity in the business. When I allowed you to take charge of the projects I owned, you thought you had won." Connor scoffed, though unease flickered in his eyes. "Then why did you let me control everything, even the Blue Heaven properties?" Edward's lips curved into a sharp, humourless smile. "Control? You own nothing, Connor. The papers you collected—stolen, actually—are all fakes. I orchestrated every move, letting you believe your schemes were succeeding. Why? Because I knew you had Grandfather imprisoned on that

    ★★★★★Imara’s face remained impassive, her tone cold and measured as she continued, "They weren’t going to stop the bond between you and Edward, especially after his accident. But they should have. My father is Mr. Harrington’s best friend; it only makes sense that they’d think of me for Edward. We’re equals, Rebecca. Same status, same world. You? You never belonged. Besides," she added, her eyes narrowing slightly, "Mr. Harrington and your mother were having an affair. Your relationship was a mistake from the beginning."Her words hung in the air, sharp as a blade. There wasn’t a flicker of remorse in her expression, as if she were narrating a mundane event instead of confessing to tearing lives apart.Rebecca’s breath hitched, disbelief etched into every feature of her tear-streaked face. "You’re fucking insane," she spat, her voice trembling with both rage and heartbreak. "I can’t believe it. At your age, you plotted something so cruel, so vile. You didn’t just ruin Edward’s life—y

    ★★★★★Connor stood there as if paralyzed, his eyes fixed on Edward’s lifeless body, the blood pooling beneath it. His face was a mask of shock, but he didn’t move or speak; he just stood frozen in that terrible moment.Imara, her face streaked with tears, whipped her head around to glare at him. "You bastard!" she shouted, her voice trembling with fury and despair. "You said you wouldn’t let anything happen to him! And now—now he’s not breathing! You betrayed me, didn’t you?"Connor’s head snapped up, his eyes narrowing as he glared at her, his voice low and cold. "Keep your mouth quiet," he said, the distaste in his tone unmistakable.Imara surged to her feet, her fists clenched as she marched toward him. "Don’t you dare tell me to keep quiet! You planned this, didn’t you? You knew this would happen! I stood by you. After all, I trusted you because I wanted to protect him—and you let this happen!"Connor’s expression darkened further, his jaw tightening as he took a threatening step

    ★★★★★Rebecca’s confession landed like a bomb in the room, silencing everyone in its wake. Edward’s face twisted in fury, his breathing ragged as he stepped back and reached behind him.In one fluid motion, he pulled out a gun, the metallic glint catching the faint light. His eyes were ablaze with unrestrained rage.“I shouldn’t have trusted you,” Edward growled, his voice low and venomous. “I shouldn’t have saved your face from public humiliation. You don’t deserve redemption. You deserve to die in the filth you’ve created.”Rebecca’s breath hitched, her bravado wavering as she took a step back. Connor instinctively moved to shield her, his hands raised in a plea.“Edward, stop!” Connor shouted, his voice edged with panic.Edward ignored him, his gaze fixed solely on Rebecca. “Your entire family ruined mine,” he snarled, his grip tightening on the gun. He raised it, the barrel now trained on Rebecca.Imara gasped, her heart pounding in terror as she instinctively stepped forward. “Ed

    ★★★★★“I didn’t know this place was so far from the town,” Imara said as she stepped out of the car, glancing around at the pitch-black surroundings. The faint crunch of gravel beneath her shoes was the only sound in the still night. Her arms crossed instinctively as a cool breeze brushed past.Edward closed the car door behind him and stepped forward, his eyes scanning the unlit house in the distance. “This is the place my father bought,” he said, his voice low but calm. “He used to bring us here when he wanted to escape the chaos of work… to relax with the family.”Imara tilted her head, her curiosity piqued as she followed his gaze to the looming structure. “It looks so isolated,” she remarked, her tone a mix of awe and unease. “No wonder it’s good for getting away.”Edward nodded, his expression darkening slightly as he noticed the lack of lighting around the house. “Connor should’ve turned on the lights,” he muttered, his voice edged with irritation. “It’s too quiet.”Imara stepp

    ★★★★“I know where they are,” Imara said hesitantly, her voice laced with reluctance. She withdrew her hand from Edward, her other hand fidgeting with the edge of her scarf. “Rebecca told me… but she made me promise not to tell you. She said, under no circumstances, should you know where she’s gone.” Her eyes briefly flickered back to Edward before darting away again. “But seeing you like this… feeling betrayed, struggling… I can’t keep it from you.”Edward leaned forward slightly, his intense gaze fixed on her. His expression softened for a brief moment, though the storm brewing in his eyes remained. “Thank you, Imara,” he said with a firm nod. “If it’s not too much trouble, I’d like you to come with me. It’ll be safer that way. I’ll send someone to keep an eye on your father.”Imara shook her head, a faint smile tugging at the corner of her lips. “No, you don’t need to worry about him. Father… he prefers being alone. He usually lies to make sure I won’t fuss over him.” She grabbed h
