CHAPTER 91: LIAM

Since Emma left for New York, a cloud of emptiness has settled over me. I knew her leaving would be tough, but not this hard. Part of me feels relieved that she's away from all the chaos my family has caused. She deserves a fresh start, a chance to rediscover herself without the shadow of the Carusos looming over her. Still, every day without her feels like a part of me is missing. I need to focus on the one thing I can control: finding out the truth behind the mess my family has caused.Today is the day I finally confront my mother. I've avoided this for too long, burying my head in the sand, hoping things would somehow resolve themselves. But Emma's discovery changed everything. I owe it to her, to Matteo and Enzo, and even to myself, to get to the bottom of this.I head to my mother's office, my mind swirling with thoughts. Isabella Caruso doesn't just sit around at home, even though she could if she wanted to. She practically runs the family's empire, always managing something, an

CHAPTER 92: EMMA

The hustle and bustle of New York City is unlike anything I've ever experienced. The constant noise, the hurried pace, the overwhelming sense of being in a place that never sleeps—it's all a shock to my system. I've been here for a few days now, trying to adjust to the culture shock and the drastic change from the life I knew back home. It's a whirlwind, and sometimes, I feel like I'm just barely keeping up.My new apartment is small, just a studio really, but it's in a decent neighborhood, and I've already made it my own with a few personal touches—some art pieces I couldn't bear to leave behind, a cozy throw blanket, and a small collection of plants. It's my little sanctuary in this massive, chaotic city, and I'm grateful for it.But today, I can't hide in my sanctuary. It's my first day at the art gallery where I'll be interning for the next six months. I'm both excited and nervous as I get ready, choosing a simple yet professional outfit. I want to make a good impression, but I'm

CHAPTER 93: LIAM

The days blur into weeks after Emma leaves for New York. Time passes, but I feel like I'm stuck in some sort of limbo, drifting aimlessly without a clear direction. My life has always been about control—controlling my surroundings, my image, my emotions. But now, with Emma gone and the weight of my family's secrets pressing down on me, everything feels out of control.I try to bury myself in work, hoping that the familiar routine of meetings, contracts, and deals will help me forget the chaos. But it's no use. Every time I close my eyes, I see Emma's face, the hurt in her eyes when she told me about the evidence, the way her voice trembled when she said goodbye. She's gone, and it's for the best, but it feels like a piece of me has been ripped away.The confrontation with my mother left me more confused than ever. Isabella's cold, detached confession plays on a loop in my mind. She admitted to the affair but claimed innocence in the disappearances. I want to believe her—desperately, I

CHAPTER 94: EMMA

New York's breeze nips at my face as I step out of my tiny apartment, blending into the crowd of fast-paced city life. Two weeks here, and I still feel like I'm pretending to be someone else. Everyone seems to know where they're going, and what they're doing, while I'm just… figuring it out as I go along.It's funny—moving here felt like a fresh start, but the truth is, it's hard to shake the past. Every time I walk through those gallery doors, I throw myself into the art, hoping it'll keep my mind busy. But thoughts of Liam are always there. I try not to think about the last time we saw each other. The confrontation. The goodbye.I shake the thought away as I approach the gallery. Today's going to be different. It HAS to be different. I remind myself I'm here to grow, to live my dream.The gallery is bustling with people as usual. I greet Rob at the entrance, the one person who's made this whole transition easier. He's waiting for me with his usual dramatic flair, arms crossed, and s

CHAPTER 95: LIAM

There are moments when life spirals beyond your control, and you're left watching the wreckage unfold. That's exactly how I feel. Every step I take seems to push me deeper into the abyss.The house is too quiet. The kind of silence that presses in, forcing you to face everything you'd rather ignore. Emma isn't here, and her absence gnaws at me more than I want to admit. Every corner of this house reminds me of her—the sound of her laugh, the way she used to hum under her breath when she thought no one was listening.But she's gone. And maybe it's for the best.I tell myself that a hundred times a day. Maybe she's better off away from me and the tangled mess of my family's secrets. But knowing that doesn't make it any easier.I walk to the window, looking out at the ocean. The waves crash against the shore, relentless. Unforgiving. It mirrors how everything in my life has been since this investigation began. Every day, we dig up more dirt, more lies, more betrayals, and I can't help bu

CHAPTER 96: EMMA

The night is a blur of neon lights, laughter, and Rob's dramatic arm gestures as he recounts his latest dating disaster. We've been at this rooftop bar for hours, surrounded by the New York skyline, and I've completely lost track of time. The gallery crew is fun, especially after a few cocktails, and Rob's sass makes everything even more entertaining."Honey," Rob slurs, leaning over to me with a playful grin, "I swear, if you don't start living a little, I'm gonna kidnap you for a weekend in the Hamptons. You're too uptight, darling. Way too uptight."I giggle, my cheeks warm from the alcohol. "I'm living! This is living, right?"Rob throws his head back and laughs. "Oh sweetie, this is barely the start. But you're cute. We'll get you there."The drinks keep flowing, and by the time I decide I should probably head home, I'm beyond tipsy. The group disperses, every one promising to meet up again soon, but I can barely focus on where my keys are, let alone coordinate a second night out

CHAPTER 97: LIAM

It's late—past 2:30 AM—and I'm still at my desk, trying to lose myself at work. The silence around me is heavy, and all I can think about is how long it's been since I last heard from Emma. She's in New York, living her life, while I'm stuck here trying to pretend like everything's fine.Suddenly, my phone buzzes. I glance at it, not expecting anything important, but when I see Emma's name on the screen, my heart skips a beat. For a second, I think I'm seeing things. She hasn't called me since she left.Without thinking, I answer, my voice steady despite the surge of emotions. "Emma?"There's a pause, and then her voice comes through, soft and slurred. "Liam…"Hearing her voice sends a wave of relief through me, but I quickly realize she's drunk. Very drunk. There's a lightness to her tone, something I haven't heard in a while. "Emma, is everything alright?" I ask, concern lacing my words.She giggles—a sound that tugs at something deep inside me. "Why wouldn't it be? I'm just… thinki

CHAPTER 98: EMMA

The sunlight filtering through the curtains feels like it's piercing directly into my skull. My head is pounding, and my mouth is dry as if I've been chewing on cotton all night. I groan, turning over in bed, and wince at the harsh light assaulting my eyes. I should've closed the blinds last night, but then again, I hadn't exactly been in a state to think about that.Last night…Fragments of the evening start to trickle back into my consciousness. Rob's sassy commentary, the laughter, the neon lights of the rooftop bar, and the endless rounds of drinks. The more I remember, the worse I feel, but it's not just the hangover. There's something else. Something nagging at the edge of my memory, something I did… something stupid.I fumble for my phone on the nightstand, my fingers trembling slightly as I unlock the screen. The usual notifications greet me, a few messages from Rob and the others, but then I see it—a text from Liam.Liam: Good morning, sunshine. You don't remember, do you?My

CHAPTER 99: LIAM

The sky outside is still dark when I finally pull myself out of bed, the weight of last night's conversation pressing heavily on my chest. Emma's voice is still echoing in my head, soft and slurred from the alcohol, but full of the raw emotion she usually keeps so well-hidden. Hearing her like that… it did something to me.I run a hand through my hair, trying to shake off the lingering grogginess. I couldn't sleep much after her call, my mind too busy replaying every word she said. She loves me. She said it. But what does that even mean now?I've been trying to keep my distance, to give her the space she needs to figure things out, but hearing her last night brought back everything I've been trying to push down. The memories, the feelings, the longing—it all came rushing back, stronger than ever.And now, I'm stuck. I want to reach out to her, to comfort her, to tell her that everything's going to be okay, but I know that's not my place anymore. Not after the way things ended. Not aft

CHAPTER 100: EMMA

The sun is barely up when Rob's sleek, black SUV pulls up in front of my building. I'm standing on the sidewalk, a small suitcase at my feet, still not entirely sure how he convinced me to do this. A weekend in the Hamptons, surrounded by wealthy singles looking for their next fling, is about the last place I want to be right now. But Rob was relentless, as always, insisting that I needed a break, a distraction—something to shake me out of the funk I've been in since Liam's call."Ready, sunshine?" Rob grins as he steps out of the car, dressed in casual yet expensive clothes that scream effortless chic. His enthusiasm is infectious, even though I can't quite muster the same excitement."I guess," I say, giving him a half-hearted smile as he takes my suitcase and stows it in the trunk."Trust me, you're going to love it," he assures me, guiding me into the passenger seat. "A little sun, a little fun, and who knows? Maybe you'll meet someone who'll make you forget all about Liam."I rol
