Without thinking, Luca pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly as she sobbed against his chest. He stroked her hair, whispering soothing words as she let out all the pain she had been holding in. As her sobs quieted, Ivy looked up at him, her eyes filled with a vulnerability he had never seen before."Stay with me," she whispered, her voice barely above a breath.Luca hesitated, knowing what she was asking. He knew he should leave and give her space, but the connection between them was too strong. He couldn't walk away from her, not now."Ivy..." he began, but she silenced him with a kiss, her lips soft and desperate against his. It was a kiss filled with need, with all the fear and pain she had been carrying. Luca responded, his hands tightening around her as he kissed her back with equal fervor.Before he knew it, they were in her bedroom, the door closing behind them. Ivy's hands fumbled with his shirt as she pulled him closer, needing to feel his warmth, his comfort. Luca he

Her lips curved into a cold smile, the excitement of their impending success momentarily pushing aside her frustration. “Then let’s do it. The sooner we’re rid of him, the sooner we can take control of everything.”Dr. Parker returned her smile, though he was tinged with a sense of caution. “We will. But remember, honey, we have to be smart about this. One wrong move and everything we’ve worked for could come crashing down.”Her smile faltered slightly, the weight of his words settling over her like a dark cloud. “I know,” she murmured, her earlier confidence wavering. “But I’m just so tired of waiting. We’ve come so far, and I’m ready to see the end of this.”Dr. Parker reached out, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. “We’re almost there. Just a little longer, and everything we’ve dreamed of will be ours.”She looked up at him, her eyes filled with a mixture of hope and fear. “You promise?”“I promise,” Dr. Parker replied, his voice steady. “Now, go home and get some rest. We’

“Bella,” he said quietly, his voice cutting through the silence. “We need to talk.”She straightened up, sensing the seriousness in his tone. “What is it?”He hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickering with something she couldn’t quite place. “There’s been a development. Something we didn’t anticipate.”Bella’s heart skipped a beat, a cold sense of dread settling over her. “What do you mean? What’s happened?”He stepped into the office, closing the door behind him as he walked over to her. “We might have a problem,” he said, his voice low. “I just got word that Ryan is starting to wake up. He’s regaining consciousness.”Bella’s eyes widened in shock, her mind racing as she processed the news. This wasn’t part of the plan—Ryan was supposed to be out of the picture, incapacitated, unable to interfere. But if he was waking up…“What do we do?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper, her earlier confidence faltering in the face of this unexpected development. Her brother’s expression ha

Iris lay in the bed, the dim light casting eerie shadows on the walls, deepening the sense of isolation that had become her constant companion. Her body, weakened by the confinement and the minimal rations she was given, felt heavy and unresponsive. The baby within her moved slightly, a faint reminder of life, but even that small comfort was overshadowed by the relentless despair gnawing at her soul.The single hand that was free from the restraints rested limply by her side, a minor concession that allowed her some semblance of humanity in this hellish prison. The other hand was tied securely to the bed frame, the rough rope biting into her skin whenever she tried to shift even slightly.The door creaked open, a sound that usually signaled the arrival of her captors or the cold nurse, but this time, it was different. Iris was only half aware of the intrusion, her exhaustion weighing down her eyelids as she drifted in and out of a restless sleep.A figure moved silently into the ro

Luca stared at his phone, disbelief washing over him as he read the message from one of the employees at Kendrick Enterprises.Bella’s presence at the office, along with a group of new faces claiming authority, had sent a shockwave through the company. His fingers tightened around the phone as he considered his next move.“Something’s not right,” Luca muttered to himself. He glanced at the clock on the wall. It was late, but this couldn’t wait. Grabbing his keys, he headed out the door, determined to get to the bottom of whatever was happening at the office.As Luca drove through the quiet streets, his mind raced with questions. How had Bella gained control so quickly? And why hadn’t she visited Ryan in the hospital? The pieces didn’t add up, and Luca felt a gnawing unease in his gut.When he arrived at Kendrick Enterprises, the building was still lit up, a stark contrast to the late hour. Luca’s footsteps echoed in the empty lobby as he made his way to the elevator, his thought
