Janna, after much thought, decided to call Freed. She reached out and grabbed the phone from the nightstand, dialed his number, and after three rings, she heard,"Miss me?" he answered with a sensual voice as he was arriving at his apartment."Freed! Are you busy? We need to talk," she whispered uncertainly; he noticed it in her tone of voice."I'm coming over," he didn't let her respond, hung up the phone, grabbed his car keys, and left.After 10 minutes, the doorbell rang. Janna jumped, nerves attacking her. Touching her belly, she said,"I love you, baby. Now let's go tell Dad the news. Let's see if he wants us in his life. If not, I'm here to give you lots of cuddles and love."She got up and headed to the door, opened it, and there was the blonde with green eyes, his gaze fixed on her."Freed, come in and take a seat."He could see the distress in her eyes. Without saying anything, he passed by and sat on the couch. She did the same, sitting beside him. Looking at their joined ha

"Catrina, we have to wait for the best moment to execute our plan. Calm down! Don't do something crazy that ruins your most desired moment with your son. He'll be with you soon," the other person on the phone expressed emotionlessly."How do you expect me to calm down? That damn Maximiliano won custody of my son because of that judge. He couldn't be bought or pleased with my body," Catrina yelled hysterically."Use your head and think, we can't expose ourselves. You have more reasons than I do to get revenge on the Pratt family. My main goal is Lindsey and the fortune that belongs to me.""Kyle and Maximiliano are the ones responsible for my misfortunes. Because of them, I'm alone; they've taken away my family.""I know! With Kyle, you have to hit where it hurts the most. For that, we have to wait for them to lower their guard. I'm finding out which event they'll all be gathered at, and that's where we can act. Our hour of revenge is coming," the unscrupulous person deliberated, carin

"Kathen started working at Lina's company when she was 20 years old and was a receptionist. Two years passed, and she saw others getting promoted while she didn't. She always saw Lina arrive every day with a smile, and that frustrated my mother. She thought your mother had it out for her. Several events happened between them, but they are not relevant to tell. Once, Kathen entered the bathroom and noticed Lina depressed. She overheard her talking on the phone, saying she found her boyfriend in bed with another woman. Kathen and John were a couple living in a poor neighborhood, struggling. Unfortunately, she got pregnant with a daughter she didn't want, and that's me," she paused, trying to control her tears."However painful it is for you, I can stop if you don't want to continue. But I desperately want to know everything.""Don't worry! It's a long story, but I'll tell you everything," replied Courney, distressed."How do you know everything you're going to tell me?""I overheard par

In a city restaurant, Isa finds herself getting to know the qualities of a man she met on a dating app. They were in the midst of common questions when they were interrupted."Hello, good evening!"Dexter was in a meeting with a client when he saw the couple arriving. He quickly concluded his business terms with the gentleman, bid farewell, and hurriedly approached the table where the woman who couldn't get out of his head was."Hi Dexter! How are you?" Isa responded with a friendly smile."I'm good! I see you're in good company," he looked at her with narrowed eyebrows and clenched teeth."Oh yes! Dexter, meet Claudio. A friend," she shifted her gaze away from Dexter and focused on her companion. "Claudio, this is Dexter, the lawyer who works at my friend's company," she said so casually that Dexter clenched his fists."Nice to meet you! Claudio Fridrex," he extended his hand but had to retract it because he only received a hostile look."How rude you've become, Dexter. Don't mind hi

After they separated, Isa gave him a smile and put the mask back on. She grabbed the leash and walked toward a door in front of the car. Next to the door was a small card reader that said, ‘Please place your access card on the reader, thank you.’Isa took out the invitation card and held it near the screen. She then read it, ‘Welcome Miss Isa Santoro, we are pleased to welcome you for the first time to this private BDSM Club, we hope you enjoy your visit.’The door opened, and they began to walk down a corridor. Upon exiting, they found a room with flashing red lights and a classical melody that filled the entire place. Dexter was surprised; there were people like them, all dressed in various attires. But what caught his attention the most was that no one had their faces uncovered, and no one paid attention to others; they only focused on their own affairs. This made him feel more comfortable, especially since he was the least conspicuous among all those present.Isa walked confidentl

Courney stepped out into the night, unable to sleep. She walked towards a garden behind the house, where a lush oak tree stood. Seating herself, as she did every night, on its roots, she poured out her thoughts. The tree became her confidant in times of depression, providing a space to freely express her emotions."Here I am again, sharing my sorrows with you. I've finally rid myself of a mental burden that was eating away at me. My weary heart is disheartened by being the cause of my sister's suffering right now." Crystal-clear drops fought to roll down her saddened face, and she ran her hand across her stomach."Even though I harbor a feeling of love for you, if I decide to bring this life into the world, I wouldn't want to burden you with the pai n every time you see me, reminding you of one of those men. Or if Cesar learns of your existence, I'm sure he'd take you away with him, and I don't want that life for you. God, help me do what's right."She lowered her head onto

The next day, Lindsey woke up sluggishly next to her husband, who had been attentive to her sleep."Thank you, my love, for listening to me, comforting me, and being there for me," she said with heavy eyes. She had cried so much that the tears formed a kind of crust."I'm your man, don't forget," he said, giving her a tender kiss. He got up and pulled her along with him to the bathroom. While they showered, he soaped her back and whispered in her ear."Lin! Let me make love to you? Please?" He nibbled on her earlobe.Lindsey felt a shiver run down her body, but her mind reacted."Love, it's late. I have to accompany Courney to the clinic. I hope she's given up on that damn decision she made. Then I have to dig up evidence at the company to put John Girt behind bars for all the harm he caused my mother in nine years."Kyle embraced her from behind and rested his head on her neck."If you need my help, you know I'm here for you.""Thanks! But this war, I have to fight alone," she turned

Maximiliano doesn't know what to do to reach Stefany's heart. He's confused. He has caught her many times looking at him and biting her lower lip, but whenever he gets close, she runs away. He was in his office, gazing out of the window, unsure of what to do with his beloved wife.Stefany is in the garden, playing with Max when one of the employees approaches her."Stefany! There's a lady looking for you, insisting on talking to you.""Me? Who could it be? Where is she?" she asked, puzzled."Yes! She asked for you. She's at the main entrance. Marco didn't give her access to the mansion until you give permission to let her in.""Don't worry. I'll go see who it is," she walked toward Max, leaned down with a smile. "Prince, wait for me here. Mom will be right back."Stefany straightened up and left the garden, heading towards the entrance of the mansion. The closer she got to the woman whose back was turned, the more familiar she seemed. Her steps quickened until she was just a few inche

Cecilia had heard the commotion and went out to see what was happening. When she noticed a woman holding Stefany with her cane in one hand, she accelerated her pace. Upon reaching them, she clung to the cane and with her free hand, she grasped Fabiana's wrist forcefully."Respect my girl.""Let go of me! Lady, I don't know who you are, but I am this ungrateful girl's mother.""How can you call yourself a mother when you allow the impurities of your children to be harmed?""Who are you to judge me?""No! But anything related to Stefany concerns me. I won't allow you to come to my house and mistreat her."Fabiana, upon hearing "my house," realized that it was Stefany's mother-in-law. She loosened her grip and let go."Nor do I. So, I would appreciate it if you disappeared from my wife's life."Maximiliano was in his office when he was called by Marco to inform him that Stefany was arguing outside the mansion with a woman who claimed to be her mother."Excuse me, sir. Stefany is my daugh

Maximiliano softened his gaze, fixed his eyes on her, and searched his mind for the best way to express his feelings. He was going to take a chance, believing it to be the way she could free herself from those repugnant memories."Stefany, I love you. You know my history of why I took advantage of women. I'll tell you again, since I fell in love with you, I haven't been able to touch another woman. You occupy my mind entirely. You and Max are the reasons I left my life in Los Angeles, the reasons I sold my nightclubs. That night you shouted all my truths, I gave up on opening a club here. Haven't you noticed that I come home early, and on weekends, I dedicate myself to my family?"She bit her lower lip and blushed. Her heart jumped with excitement at each of his changes, and her mind repeated that she wasn't the woman who could please him in bed."Yes, little Max is happy to have a new dad, and so am I. But understand, I can't satisfy you as a woman, and I can't give you children.""H
