ELENA'S POV After I left Jacinta’s house, I took a cab straight home because I had nowhere else to go.If I had known Jacinta would betray my trust, I wouldn't have stubbornly walked out of the apartment Adrian rented for me. I left confidently, believing I had a friend and ally in her.“You’ve made another terrible mistake again,” I scolded myself. “When are you ever going to learn your lesson?I felt terrible, especially now that I was heading back to the home and family that had rejected me before. I didn’t want to take the risk of going to another town or city where I knew no one, because the last time I did, I got caught in a web of lies, deceit, and darkness. I was already a few months pregnant, and my belly was beginning to show, so it would be unsafe to just go wandering off on my own.When I got home, I knocked gently on the door, and Martin opened it.Elena" he said in recognition, but he didn’t move aside to let me inside."I left the apartment Adrian rented for me today,"

ELENA'S POV My hands had been shaking uncontrollably ever since I saw those pictures. To begin with, one of them was the photo found on Clara's body after she was murdered, while the second showed that Zach was acquainted with the man as well, not only Clara. In the picture, Zach wrapped his arms around Clara affectionately; it was clear to anyone that they were in a romantic relationship. The man stood next to them while all three smiled for the camera. They looked genuinely happy in the picture and it was obvious they were very familiar with each other.I became worried and my chest began to heat fast.As I stared at the pictures, my hands started trembling. There was something deeply unsettling about them because it was clear that Zach knew the man. After all, he was the same person who had handed Zach over to us when we went to secure his release. My mind raced with countless questions, and I couldn't make sense of everything that was happening. zach certainly owed me an explanat

ELENA'S POV Zach’s voice nearly made my heart jump out of my chest, especially when he mentioned someone going through his things. I thought I had kept the pictures exactly how I found them… or maybe I had messed it up without realizing.He was going toward Dad’s bedroom, but I guessed Martin stopped him, because suddenly his angry footsteps came to a halt. I didn’t hear Martin clearly, but I heard him say something to Zach—and that was when Zach snapped.“She is here?!” Zach shouted at the top of his voice.It was clear he was talking about me, and it hurt to realize he was still so angry with me. Martin seemed to have moved past his resentment, and Dad looked like he had forgiven me too, but Zach hadn’t. And I couldn’t understand why. He was free now, so what exactly was the issue?Why is she here? She’s going to bring more trouble into this house!” Zach kept yelling without stopping.The more he spoke, the more scared and uneasy I became, and it showed in my reactions. Each time

ADRIAN'S POV Adrian forced a smile onto his face and rejoined the rest of the guests at the party. It was clear to him that everyone else was enjoying themselves, while he felt completely out of place. The only thing occupying his mind was ensuring Elena hadn’t once again ended up in Reid’s grasp.Jane then stepped forward to begin the opening address.I want to thank you all for honoring our invitation on such short notice. I am Jane Hudson, as most of you already know, and this is the first grandchild my son, Adrian Hudson, is bringing into the world," she announced.Adrian clenched his jaw hard in annoyance.Adrian couldn’t correct his mother in the middle of her speech, so he was forced to sit there smiling through a statement that felt like a complete lie.He had told Jane over and over again that Elena’s babies were his, but she refused to accept it. And now, she had chosen this exact moment,right in front of everyone that mattered to make an announcement he couldn’t interrupt

DANIELLE'S POV You have to get him to marry you.Those were Jane’s firm words, and they kept echoing in Danielle's mind. For the first time, Danielle respected Jane,because she was a woman who got what she wanted, and in the end, her son became the CEO of Hudson Company. Danielle wanted to leave, but Jane insisted she spend the night.You’re family now,” Jane said. “Start behaving like it.Danielle was thrilled that Jane and Sophie had already accepted her, and she knew it would not be difficult to make Adrian accept her too. She only needed to take charge and claim what she felt belonged to her.Still, Danielle had no intention of ending up like Jane. Jane had managed to make Adrian's father marry her and had even given him two children, yet he eventually left her for the same woman he had loved from the start. Jane never openly admitted it, but Danielle could read between the lines from the way she narrated the story.It was then that Danielle saw the deep resentment hidden bene
