The truth

“Nina, my daughter,” Serena called as she spoke softly to her. “Thank you for coming.”Nina smirked, studying the frail woman before her with cold eyes. She hadn’t come out of concern or love. The only reason she was here was her mother’s manipulative threat of self-harm. The text message still burned in her mind: Come see me, or I’ll end it all. Another one of her mother’s desperate plays for attention.A bitter smirk twisted Nina’s lips. She may have been forced here, but that didn’t mean she had to pretend this was a happy reunion.“What do you want?” she asked, her tone sharp and irritable.“I know you must be angry with me, my dear daughter,” Serena said.She cut her off. “What do you want?”Serena drew a theatrical sigh, her shoulders slumping. “Please forgive me,” she whispered, her voice honeyed with practiced remorse. Her fingers clutched at the fabric of her sleeve. “You need to get me out of this place. I don’t belong here.” Her eyes darted around the stark walls before fix

My child

Elara felt Damian tense beside her, his hand tightening around hers.“The baby,” Nina said, her voice barely above a whisper. “The one my mother had killed... he’s alive.”The words hung in the air, seeming to suck the breath from Elara’s lungs. Alive? How could that be possible? She had mourned that child, had borne the devastating grief of his loss for months.“What are you saying?” Damian asked, his voice tinged with a desperate hope that Elara dared not give in to.“I overheard her,” Nina explained, her gaze fixed on the ground. “Giving instructions to the assassin, Ghost... she wanted the baby dead, to sever the last tie between you and Elara. But I... I couldn’t let him do it. I begged him, pleaded with him, until he agreed to spare the child’s life.”Elara felt the world tilt on its axis, her heart racing as the implications of Nina’s words sank in. Their child, the one they had been robbed of, was alive. Alive and out there, somewhere, all this time.“Where is he?” she demande

Mother

Damian’s car wound through the quiet streets of the suburban neighborhood, each turn bringing them closer to the address Ghost had provided.Elara’s fingers drummed restlessly against her thigh, her heart pounding in her chest with each passing moment. The sun cast long shadows across the pavement, a reminder of how their world had shifted since Nina’s revelation just days ago.“It’s just around this corner,” Damian said, his voice tight with an emotion Elara couldn’t quite place. He had been unusually quiet since they’d left the house, lost in thoughts he seemed reluctant to share. His knuckles were white against the steering wheel, betraying the tension coursing through him.The car slowed to a stop before a modest two-story home, its white exterior pristine against the backdrop of a well-maintained garden. Rose bushes lined the walkway, their blooms adding splashes of color to the serene setting. Elara reached for the door handle, but Damian’s hand caught her wrist, stopping her.“

Elizabeth

Elizabeth’s living room settled into a delicate quiet, broken only by the baby’s soft coos and the gentle tick of an antique clock on the mantel. Her hands trembled slightly as she smoothed her skirt, decades of stolen life weighing heavily in the air between them.“You must have so many questions,” Elizabeth said, her voice carrying the weight of unbearable loss. “About what really happened. About her.”Damian sat on the couch beside Elara, who was still cradling their son. His eyes hadn’t left the baby’s face, as if memorizing every detail he’d missed. “Start from the beginning,” he said, his voice tight. “Start with how Serena stole everything.”Elizabeth’s composed demeanor cracked, revealing raw pain beneath. “She was Father’s illegitimate daughter. My half-sister. But being Father’s secret child wasn’t enough for her – she wanted everything. My life. My identity.” She paused, struggling with the memories. “The day you were born, son... the happiest day of my life became my worst

Out

Daniel Regars stood outside the towering iron gates, a free man for the first time in years. He inhaled deeply, filling his lungs with the crisp air of freedom, but it did little to soothe the rage simmering beneath his calm facade. Freedom meant nothing to him, not when his family was shattered, his father dead behind prison walls.He didn’t know why he was released so soon, but he could take this opportunity to destroy both of them.Daniel clenched his fists, a dark smile flickering at the corners of his mouth. “They’ll pay,” he murmured to himself. “For my father, for my family. They will both pay.”He didn’t know when or how, but vengeance had been his only thought, the one idea keeping him alive in that cell, counting down the days to his release. Who knew he could be released sooner? Now he was out, and nothing would stand between him and retribution.Daniel didn’t waste time. He knew he would need allies, someone who shared his hatred for Elara and Damian. His mind circled back

Vera

The tension in the room intensified as Vera broke away from the kiss, her gaze fixed on Jackson’s face. His expression was gentle and vulnerable, just as she had hoped. She reached out to touch his cheek, a deliberate move to draw him further into her grasp.“I’ve been so lost without you,” she whispered. “There’s something I need to tell you, something important.” She led him to sit beside her on the plush sofa, her movements deliberately hesitant. “It’s about Elara.”Jackson stiffened at the name. “What about her?”“I’ve heard... troubling things.” Vera’s voice trembled perfectly. “About her connection to certain criminal elements. People who’ve been released from prison recently.” She watched his expression shift, doubt creeping in like a shadow.“She isn’t the type.”“Are you accusing me of lying, Jack?" she interrupted, cutting him off. “You’ve known me since we were kids.”“Vera.”“You don’t trust me, do you?” She stopped. “Or do you still believe I have feelings for Damian and

Sarah

Serena sat down in her prison, biting her fingers nervously. She had tried her best, given it her all, to contact her daughter, but to no avail. What could have happened to her? She was getting worried day by day. Her once-powerful status had crumbled, leaving her vulnerable and trapped.“Hey, what is wrong with you?” someone yelled at her, but she refused to answer. Her thoughts were far away from where she was. “How dare you ignore me?”“What the heck are you doing?” Serena screamed as two of the prison women held her hands on Laura’s command.Laura stood up, approaching her with a sly smile on her face. “You should listen to what I’m saying, bitch.” She pulled her hair. Serena tried to protest, but before she could utter a word, Laura hit her face.“How dare you!” Serena screamed. “Do you know who you’re treating like this?”“Who the heck are you?” Laura spat. “In here, you are nothing but a lowly person,” she added, hitting her on the belly with her leg.“Ah,” Serena cried out, fa

The mother she deserved

Daniel Regars stood before her, his presence filling the small visiting room with an intensity that made Serena’s breath catch. Gone was the man she once knew. This Daniel was different. Cold. Calculating. His eyes held a depth of contempt that made her skin crawl.“I didn’t expect you,” Serena whispered, her voice a mixture of surprise and apprehension. Her hope of seeing her daughter had been cruelly replaced by this unexpected encounter.Daniel’s lips curved into a slight, cruel smile. “Really?“Serena’s mind raced. Her current state; imprisoned, stripped of power, tormented by her cellmates, was already a punishment. But the look in Daniel’s eyes suggested he had something far more devastating planned.“What do you want?” she asked, her once-powerful voice now reduced to a desperate whisper.Daniel’s eyes bore into Serena, his posture rigid and controlled. He had come with a proposition. A lifeline that could potentially free her from the suffocating prison walls. But Serena’s wor

Manipulation

The sterile prison visiting room seemed to suffocate Daniel as he walked out, Serena’s words echoing in his mind. Her advice to abandon his revenge against Damian felt like a mockery. He had lost too much to simply let go.Outside, the cold air bit into his skin, matching the coldness in his heart. Serena might have surrendered, but he never would.His fingers instinctively reached into his pocket, pulling out his phone. The screen illuminated with a soft glow as he scrolled through his contacts, stopping at Vera’s number. She had been instrumental in their carefully orchestrated plan to use Jackson against Damian.Daniel pressed the call button, bringing the phone to his ear. Each ring felt like a countdown to their inevitable confrontation with Damian.“Hello?” The voice that answered wasn’t Vera’s.For a moment, Daniel froze. The voice was familiar, yet unexpected. Rough. Masculine.“Jackson?” he said, surprise cutting through his usual composure.A low chuckle emerged from the oth

Illusions of Victory

The sterile lights of Damian’s penthouse cast a cold, artificial glow across the room, but the atmosphere between him and Jackson was anything but sterile. It buzzed with an undercurrent of controlled chaos, the final pieces of a counter-plan falling seamlessly into place.Damian leaned back in his chair, fingers steepled beneath his chin, his sharp gaze locked on Jackson. “You’ve done well, Jackson. Vera and Daniel need to know who they were planning for. I will make them suffer and regret ever thinking of hurting me or my loved ones.” His voice was calm, but the satisfaction lurking beneath it was unmistakable.Jackson met his gaze with equal confidence. “She underestimated me. So did Daniel. They thought I was nothing more than a pawn.”Damian’s lips curved into a faint, dangerous smile. “You’ve proven otherwise.”Jackson appreciated the rare acknowledgment, but his mind was already on the next move. “Daniel will act soon. His pride won’t let him sit idle. He’s desperate, and despe
