80. An Old Visit

Mr. Alfred walked slowly through the cemetery, a bouquet of flowers in his hands. The sun was setting, casting long shadows across the rows of gravestones. He found the familiar path that led to his wife’s grave, each step heavy with the weight of his worries.When he reached the grave, he knelt down, placing the flowers gently on the headstone. He traced his fingers over her name, etched in the cold marble, and took a deep breath.“Hello, my love,” he began, his voice cracking. “It’s been so long since I’ve felt your presence. I wish you were here with me now. So much has happened, and I feel lost without you.”He glanced around, making sure he was alone, and continued, his words spilling out in a torrent of emotion. “Lillian... she’s been kidnapped again. It’s like we’re living in a nightmare that we can’t wake up from. I’ve failed her, just like I failed you. I promised I’d protect our family, but I couldn’t. And now, Lillian is expecting twins.

81. Rescue

The early morning sun cast a pale light as Katherine made her way to Marco’s apartment, her heart pounding with a mix of fear and determination. She needed to find Lillian, no matter the cost. When she arrived, she knocked urgently on the door, and after a few tense moments, Marco opened it, looking surprised and wary.“Katherine?” he said, his voice low. “What are you doing here?”“I need your help, Marco,” Katherine pleaded, stepping inside. “Please, I need to know where Mrs. Rojas is keeping my sister.”Marco’s expression hardened. “Katherine, you don’t understand. Mrs. Rojas is dangerous. She’ll do anything to protect her interests. I can’t let you get involved in this.”“She’s my sister, Marco!” Katherine’s voice cracked with desperation. “Lillian is pregnant, expecting twins. If I don’t save her, she might die. Please, Marco. I’m begging you.”Marco’s resolve wavered as he looked into Katherine’s tear-filled eyes. He sighed heavily, rubbing the back of his neck. “Alright, alrigh

82. Caught

Katherine stepped out of the car with her hands raised, heart pounding as the reality of their capture sank in. Another of Mrs. Rojas’s men roughly grabbed Lillian, who was still groggy from her ordeal. They dragged the sisters back into the mansion, their grips like iron. Inside, the men tied them to chairs next to each other. Katherine struggled against the ropes, but the bindings were tight, cutting into her wrists. She glanced at Lillian, whose eyes were filled with fear and exhaustion. The sight broke her heart, fueling her determination to protect her sister. Mrs. Rojas strode into the room, her laughter cold and mocking. “Did you think you could save her so easily, Katherine?” she taunted. “You’re even dumber than I thought.” Katherine glared at her, fury blazing in her eyes. “I’m going to destroy you,” she vowed, her voice trembling with rage. Mrs. Rojas laughed again, the sound echoing ominously in the dimly lit room. “Marco was pretending to back off from me. He told me

The memories of their escape from the burning mansion were still fresh, and now, another ordeal had begun.She clasped her hands together, whispering a prayer under her breath. “Please, let her be okay. Let the babies be okay.”Time seemed to stretch endlessly as she continued to pace.

How’s Lillian?”The doctor smiled reassuringly. “Lillian had a safe delivery. She gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

85. Spit on it

The grand council chamber buzzed with tension as members settled into their seats, their faces reflecting a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. Mrs. Rojas, exuding confidence, began her presentation with her usual commanding presence. She outlined a new venture, promising significant profits but at the expense of smaller businesses. "This proposal," Mrs. Rojas declared, "is a strategic move that will secure our dominance in the market and ensure our continued growth. It's an opportunity we cannot afford to miss."

Mrs. Rojas sat in her elegantly furnished room, the soft glow of the evening light casting shadows on the walls. Her thoughts churned with the failures and frustrations of her recent efforts. Her plan to regain control and power had crumbled, leaving her feeling vulnerable and exposed. The tension in her marriage with her husband, which had simmered for years, now felt like an forever apart.Tears welled up in her eyes, and she allowed herself a brief moment of weakness, letting the sobs escape.

87. The Mall

Lillian and Katherine strolled out of the mall, their arms linked, their laughter echoing through the parking lot. The sun was setting, casting a warm, golden glow over the scene. They had spent the day shopping, a much-needed break from the tension and drama that had consumed their lives recently."Remember last summer in NYC?" Katherine said, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "When I tried to impress that guy by pretending I was a local and then got hopelessly lost on the subway?"Lillian laughed, shaking her head. "I still can't believe you did that. And then you ended up at Coney Island instead of Central Park."They both erupted into fits of giggles, leaning on each other for support as the driver loaded their shopping bags into the trunk of the car."At least we got to ride the Cyclone," Katherine said, wiping a tear of laughter from her eye. "And those hot dogs...they were worth it.""Totally worth it," Lillian agreed, still chuckling. "We should plan another trip soon, maybe o

She tried his studio next, hoping he might be absorbed in his work, but again, she was met with silence.A sense of dread settled in her stomach as she knocked on his neighbors' doors. "Excuse me," she asked a kindly older woman who opened her door. "Have you seen David recently?"The woman frowned, shaking her head. "It's been months, dear. I thought he might have gone on a trip or something."Katherine thanked her and moved on to the next house, but the story was the same everywhere. No one had seen David for months. Her mind immediately went to the worst-case scenario, wondering if Mrs. Rojas had something to do with his disappearance.Feeling anxious and powerless, Katherine returned home. She found Lillian in the living room,

89. Threatened again

The news that Katherine had taken her position in the business entity and that the Alfred family would now be heading the contract hit Mrs. Rojas like a freight train. Her face turned crimson with rage as she read the email on her computer screen. She could feel the walls of her office closing in on her, suffocating her with the weight of her failure. With a primal scream, she smashed her fist against the mahogany desk, the sound echoing through the room. The pain in her hand was a distant, secondary sensation compared to the burning fury in her chest. She had been bested by Katherine, a woman she had underestimated from the start. A knock on the door snapped her back to reality. She quickly composed herself, wiping the tears of frustration from her eyes. “Come in,” she barked, her voice barely under control. The door opened to reveal Mrs. Delaney, the chairwoman of the board. Her sharp eyes took in the disarray of the office and the obvious distress on Mrs. Rojas’s face. “What
