“So, what now?” Ivy finally asked, her voice laced with resentment.Bella took a step back, her demeanor calming now that she knew she had won. “Now, you play your part. You’re going to keep your mouth shut about Iris, and you’re going to help me maintain this illusion. If you do that, your father’s secrets stay buried, and Kendrick Enterprises remains in the family.”Ivy narrowed her eyes. “And what happens to Iris? The real Iris?”Bella’s smile faded slightly, her eyes hardening. “Iris is gone. She’s not coming back.”Ivy took a step closer, her voice steady despite the storm raging inside her. “You’re going to make sure of that, aren’t you?”Bella didn’t flinch and didn’t break eye contact. “If I have to,” she said coldly.Ivy felt a chill run down her spine at the finality in Bella’s voice. She had suspected for a while that Bella had something to do with Iris’s disappearance, but now she knew. Bella wasn’t just playing a game—she was willing to go to any lengths to secure her pla

This company—this empire—belongs to us now."Her brother turned to face her, a glint of mischief in his eyes. "What do you think about Ivy?"Bella shrugged, her smirk widening. "Ivy’s too busy being her naive little self. She might suspect something’s wrong, but she doesn’t have the guts to do anything about it. And as for Mr. Kendrick… well, he’s too focused on his poor son to even notice what’s happening right under his nose.""Good. Then we’re in the clear," her brother said, taking a seat across from her. "But we have to be careful. Luca’s still around, and he’s not as easily fooled."Bella’s eyes darkened at the mention of Luca. She knew he had always been loyal to Ryan, and if anyone were to figure out the truth, it would be him. "Don’t worry about Luca. I’ll handle him."Back at the Hospital...Luca raced through the hospital corridors, his heart pounding in his chest. He had just received the call—Ryan was awake. After weeks of uncertainty, his best friend was finally conscious

Later that evening, the grand hall was buzzing with activity. Journalists and paparazzi crowded around the entrance, flashing their cameras as important guests arrived. Bella and her brother stood by the entrance, greeting the investors and guests as they walked in, all smiles and handshakes.The cameras flashed as Bella posed, the perfect picture of poise and confidence. But as the questions began to fly, she quickly realized the media was not going to be as easy to control as the company had been."Miss Bella, you are a well-known fashion icon. What happened to that career?" one journalist shouted.Bella smiled, tilting her head slightly. "Oh, I’ve simply transitioned into something more aligned with my current priorities. The business world requires just as much creativity as fashion, don’t you think?"Another voice from the crowd jumped in, the question sharp. "Are you married now to Ryan Kendrick?"Bella’s smile faltered for a brief second before she quickly regained composure.

She pursed her lips, clearly annoyed. This wasn’t part of the plan. Jessica needed to stay alive for now.“Look at you. Pathetic,” Mrs. Rose muttered, disgust lacing her words. “It seems I’ve underestimated just how frail you’ve become. You need medical attention.”She pulled out her phone and made a quick call. Her voice was sharp, all business. “Get someone here immediately. She’s in bad shape. I want her moved to a private facility. I don’t want her dead yet.”There was a brief pause as the person on the other end of the line responded. Mrs. Rose’s face remained impassive as she listened. “No. Take her to the facility I mentioned before. I don’t care what you have to do—just make sure she stays alive.”She ended the call, slipping the phone back into her handbag before turning her attention back to Jessica, who was slipping in and out of consciousness.“You’ll get the help you need, Jessica,” Mrs. Rose said in a mocking tone. “But don’t think for a second that this is out of kindness.

Bella waved her hand dismissively. “Nothing too drastic, just a bit of rebranding. The Kendrick Empire needed a fresh face, something modern. Trust me, Ryan, once you’re back on your feet, you’ll see it was the right move.”Ryan’s mind wandered back to those flashes of memories. “I just... I don’t understand how everything could change so quickly.”Bella leaned in, cupping his face with her hands. “Ryan, you don’t need to understand everything right now. What matters is that I’m here, and we’re in this together. You trust me, don’t you?”Ryan hesitated, his mind battling with the conflicting emotions. The logical part of him wanted to ask more questions and dig deeper into the fragments of memories. But he was exhausted, both physically and mentally. Bella had been there for him through all of it, and without any proof to the contrary, he forced himself to believe her. He nodded.“I trust you,” he said, though his voice lacked the conviction he once held.Bella’s smile widened as s
