Alice stayed with her for a few more minutes before heading downstairs. In the living room, everyone was worried, and Richard's expression was the most notable in the room.Seeing his ex-wife enter with a sad demeanor, he got up from the couch, a little distressed."What's going on, Alice?" Richard inquired."We need to talk in private, darling," she told her husband."Mama, I have a right to know what's happening to my sister," Junior spoke, sitting on the floor, playing with his niece who, due to the late hour, was falling asleep in his arms."Madeleine, please. Call Stefan and ask him to come," she told her daughter's friend."He's already on his way to Lourmarin. I told him this afternoon when I went to check on Katia," the brunette woman replied."Alice, daughter. What's happening?" Gael asked, concerned, sitting in his armchair.She sighed and, without further ado, she told everyone what Katia had shared with her. The expressions on everyone's faces, except for Madeleine's, chan

The next day, at a café terrace, two men sat at one of the tables. The conversation seemed serious as their faces were solemn.The brown-haired man appeared rather upset, while the dark-haired man calmly sipped his coffee."You should tell her. Sooner or later, she's going to find out, and it will be worse," advised Hilbert, placing his coffee on a small saucer that matched the white cup with red flowers. "Besides, it's better that you tell her than someone else does.""It's not easy. Remember that Gretchen left me for what I am, and I don't want Katia to leave... she would take my daughter with her," he explained, frustrated."Whichever way you choose, you'll end up losing them both. If you decide to keep lying to her, your enemies might kill them, and you'll lose them. If you tell her the truth, you might lose them or not, who knows, but there's a chance she might leave. I'm sure it will hurt her more if someone else tells her instead of you," Hilbert crossed his arms. "Which of all

In her crib, Joanne was sleeping peacefully, unaware of what was happening to her mother.Katia approached the crib and watched her daughter. She gently stroked the baby's head with her fingertips, and tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably.She had gone from hatred to love with Stefan and feared losing him just as she had lost Oscar. Why did she feel that he was hiding something from her?There was a knock on the door, and to conceal her tears, she wiped them away before opening the door. She covered her baby and, fighting back the tears, turned around.She opened her eyes to see that it was her daughter's father."What are you doing here?" she asked as he closed the door."Can't I see my family?" he replied with a small smile, approaching his wife. "I know I told you yesterday that your father didn't let me see you, but today I had a little help.""Help?""Yes. Your sister seemed to have made a good impression on Hilbert, and she told him that your father wasn't at the house," s

"Leave it, Katia. What they did to you during the kidnapping is one thing, and it's a completely different matter that this wretch touched you knowing you were married to me," he interrupted coldly. "Hilbert...."What are you doing here!? I made it very clear that I didn't want you near my daughter," a voice shouted from behind Stefan.It was Richard, accompanied by his wife. They had been drawn by the voices."Relax, sir. You won't see me near your daughter anymore," he said seriously. Elyse approached her young daughter, who was shaking her head vigorously. "You told me to think about what was more important, my "business" or your daughter.""Don't tell me you've made up your mind in a day?" He asked sarcastically."I had made up my mind long before, sir," he replied seriously."And? What is most important to someone like you?" They locked eyes, challenging each other.The rest of the people, except Hilbert, had no idea what they were talking about.Katia looked at her father and he

When they were just a few inches away from their lips meeting, the sound of both their phones interrupted them. They looked at each other in surprise as the calls were from Katia and Alice, her mother.Madeleine took a deep breath before answering her friend and moved a bit away from Junior not to disturb him while talking to her mother."What's going on, Mom?" The man said with concern."Oh, darling... You have no idea what happened this afternoon at the estate... Your sister is inconsolable," the woman told him."But, what happened?" He wondered, noticing the gestures Madeleine was making while talking on the phone."Stefan came to the house shortly after you left with Madeleine, and there was a big commotion... Your sister and him broke up.""What do you mean they broke up? Mom, tell me what happened," her eldest son demanded."I don't know all the details, but... it seems that, for him, his business is more important than your sister, and that's when everything went wrong.""And w

A few days later, the entire Verlag company eagerly awaited the arrival of their CEO. Stefan had returned with the name Zelig Richter. He was unaware of Katia's departure from the company, but he would find out that day.Accompanying him was a man with hair that was a mix of blonde and brown, with a slight tan to his skin. He had a light beard and his eyes had a very pale blue hue. He was tall, muscular, and well-built, with a broad back.Hilbert had decided to accompany his friend due to a matter he had in that city. That matter was Elyse West Dupont.Katia's sister had found a job as a French teacher at a school and had left the troubled life she had led a few years ago.Madeleine arrived at the company holding the hand of a five-year-old girl with blonde hair and beautiful green eyes. Her hair reached halfway down her back, had a wavy texture, and her lips were light pink, very similar to her mother's.Her skin had a slight cinnamon color that drew a lot of attention. Joanne had in

Monica and the girl walked to the right side of the floor, while the little one took small jumps.Zelig was taken aback by what the woman had told him. Did she hate him so much that she hadn't accepted to be his secretary?He squinted his eyes and, seconds later, walked to his office.Hilbert looked at him in silence, but the laughter of the girl caught his attention. He felt like he had seen that little girl somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where or when.He ended up heading to his friend's office and closed the door behind him. He knew that his friend still loved the mother of his daughter, but he was hurt by the rejection he received from her."I'll ask Elyse about it this afternoon. She probably knows something about Katia... But I think it's better to ask Katia as soon as I see her... What if I don't see her? I'll ask Elyse," Hilbert thought as he sat down in one of the chairs, waiting for his friend to recover.Throughout the day, Zelig kept looking out of his office w

Suddenly he saw his daughter suddenly stand up and run into the President's office. Zelig jumped in surprise and crouched down to keep up with his daughter.He noticed that Katia had not moved from where Joanne separated from her and that she was not looking at him."I promise to come another day," Joanne said to her father."I'd love to," he said with a smile. "Now go on. Your mother is waiting for you.""Daddy, why didn't you say hello to mommy?," she asked innocently.Zelig noticed Katia watching them and saw her snort."Mommy is mad at me for something I did a long time ago, but as long as I get to see you again, I'll be happy. Do you know why?" The girl shook her head. "Because you look so much like your mother.""Grandma says Stefanie Elein looks more like Mommy..." she pouted tenderly."I don't think so. You... you have the same look as your mother and her same smile," she stroked his cheek, smiling. "Go on, go. Your mother will be more upset with me as long as you're still her

Federica and Katia went up to the top floor where the cafeteria was located. They sat at a table near the large window, and the brunette waitress brought two soft drinks, one for each of them.Unable to help it, Katia felt uncomfortable, but she didn't want to tell the woman sitting across from her. The babbling of the triplets caught her attention.They were three beautiful children, just like their parents, and they were utterly adorable with their chubby cheeks. Judging by their age, the babies couldn't be more than a year and a half old.Not knowing what to say, Katia took a sip of her drink and sighed."My brother told me that Joanne looks a lot like you," Federica commented, making her companion look at her. "Listen, Katia. It's true that my brother is... a mafioso," she said in a hushed voice so no one could hear. "But there's something I'm sure of: he loves you and misses both of you. Over these five years, he's delayed his visit to the Seattle Delegation because of your rejec
