Chapter 41 The next morning, Kaitlyn and Estefan met with his PR team again to finalize their approach to the ongoing media frenzy. Estefan was calm and composed as he led the meeting, but this time, he made a point of involving Kaitlyn in the discussions, asking for her input and showing her the ropes of handling a public relations crisis. They reviewed the media coverage, analyzed the public’s response, and discussed the best ways to counter the negative press. Estefan’s team had crafted a follow-up statement, and they were planning to release it later that day to further solidify their position. “Kaitlyn, I want you to be part of this,” Estefan said as they were about to conclude the meeting. “You’re not just my wife,” his voice formed as he continued, “you’re my partner in this. We face everything together, including this mess. I need you to understand how these things work so you’re prepared for whatever comes next.” Kaitlyn nodded, appreciating his confidence in her. “I’m re

Chapter 43Michael crossed his arms, still unconvinced. “Then who did? Because someone out there is trying to cause trouble for them, and I need to know who, because I know we have not planned anything concrete yet, but I can’t say for you.”Melissa hesitated for a second, her mind racing. She couldn’t let Michael find out the truth. If he knew she had tipped off the media, it would ruin everything. She had to keep him in the dark.Melissa then shrugged, pretending to be just as clueless as he was. “I don’t know, Michael,” she said softly, her voice trembling just enough to seem genuine. “Maybe it’s someone from Estefan’s side. He has enemies, doesn’t he? Powerful men like him always do.” She paused before she continued again, “But I promise you, it wasn’t me.”He wasn’t letting it go that easily. “Cut the crap, Melissa. This has your fingerprints all over it. You think I don’t know what you’re capable of?”In an instant, she turned around, throwing a dagger at her husband with her ey

Chapter 45Salvatore Subsidiary GroupAdrian paced through his office; he could barely concentrate on work; he was anxiously about what the outcome from his contact would be; his mid was always shifting the recent about his brother and his wife. Although he could make a possible guess at who the whistleblower might be, it would do him good if his suspicion were confirmed.He had contacted a few trusted sources the two days to discreetly investigate the origin of the rumors about Estefan and Kaitlyn’s marriage. Adrian had always been sharp, cunning even, but this was a different game. This was personal.His thoughts drifted back to the family dinner a few nights ago. It had been typical; his parents doting on Estefan, his grandmother’s not-so-subtle suggestions about expecting an heir from Estefan soon, and his own resentment. He had played his part during the dinner, smiling politely and nodding at all the right moments, but inside, he was boiling.He couldn’t shake the feeling that e

Chapter 47“Mr. Salvatore,” she replied, her voice equally composed. “I didn’t expect to see you here. It an honor meeting you.”“Nor I you. But it’s a pleasure to finally meet you,” he said, his eyes scanning her appreciatively“Same here. Mr. Salvatore.” She took his hand, her grip firm and confident. “Likewise, I’ve heard much about you.”“Just call me Adrian.” Adrian said, gesturing for her to sit. “But it seems we have some common interests to discuss.”They both sat down, and a waiter promptly arrived to take Melissa’s order. Melissa arched an eyebrow after the waiter left. “Is that so? And what interests might those be?”Adrian leaned back, studying her carefully. “The rumors about Estefan and Kaitlyn. I believe you had a hand in starting them.”“So, I suppose you are the one I am to meet here today.”“Yes, Laura is my assistant.” Adrian was glad she was able to pick up quick, while Melissa only nodd

Chapter 49Isabella, who had been quietly observing the discussion, decided it was time to intervene also. Seeing her both sons make enemies of themselves had been devastating and was already killing her. Her and her husband had tried several times to mend the situation, but it only grew worse. She was glad grandmother Elena had called for this moment.”“Adrian, Estefan, you both have valid points. But this isn’t about who’s right or wrong. It’s about finding a way forward together. The media is already having a field day with rumors about this family; we can’t afford to give them any more fuel.”“I think we all want the same thing; what’s best for this family. Maybe we should focus on that instead of what divides us.” Kaitlyn, who had been listening intently, decided to speak up.Elena nodded in agreement, her gaze softening as she looked at her grandsons. “She’s right,” Elena said. “We’re stronger together. And that’s how we’re going to move forward, working together in unity, not d
