Chapter 976 A Reprimand, Even If Late
Katrina received the news with horror: she would no longer be a mother.Alone with Patricio, she wept bitterly, screaming and howling in pain, hurling blasphemies against God as if He were to blame.“Why, Lord, WHY?!” Katrina shrieked, staring at the ceiling. “Why do You always allow good things to happen to Briana? When is she going to lose her baby, huh? THIS ISN’T FAIR!”Patricio kept his distance, both enraged and bewildered at the same time.He was furious over having lost his first child, yet deeply unsettled by how Katrina managed to use such a traumatic moment to talk about Briana.“Katrina, I know you’re shattered,” Patricio put his feelings into words. “But could we, just this once, not bring Briana into it?”“How could we leave my damn cousin out of it when she’s to blame for everything?” Katrina snapped, shooting him a vicious look.Patricio shook his head in disbelief. “What really happened?”“Briana dared to say she’d won the bet when I clearly stated that our baby’s nur
Chapter 975 Hope Lost
Vargas first looked at Mark as if asking for permission. Lord Ferro’s gaze made it clear that Vargas could deliver the news.“I’ve already informed Attorney Nogueira,” Vargas announced. “Unfortunately, Miss Vasconcelos has lost—”“NO!” Claudia threw herself to the floor in an extremely fake, theatrical manner, pretending to faint.She expected someone to catch her, but the gesture was so sudden that Gilson didn’t even have time to react.As a result, Claudia flailed on the floor, needlessly dirtying her clothes. Althea regarded her with nothing but growing contempt.Gilson, on the other hand, was genuinely shocked and shattered. Tears began to stream down his face as he felt his chance to be a grandfather slipping away.“This can’t be... How?” he asked, his voice breaking.“The staircase she fell down wasn’t a small one,” Vargas cleared his throat. “And there’s more... It appears she made an effort to tumble down the steps.”Still on the floor but pulling herself up, Claudia neighed o
Chapter 974 Family Anticipation
Tuesday.Once again, the Vasconcelos family waited in the famous lounge of Braspolis General Hospital.Claudia did not feel nearly as much grief as she pretended to, but she needed to dramatize and exaggerate in order to persuade Althea to turn her attention back exclusively to Gilson and his family.‘It was so good when only we were the privileged ones,’ she grumbled inwardly. Out loud, however, her words were entirely different.“Oh, my precious little daughter...”“Calm down, my dear,” Gilson said, wrapping an arm around his sobbing wife, looking just as distressed.For once, Sandro and Nadir set their animosity aside. They both knew that losing a baby was a mother’s worst nightmare.Althea sat on the couch with Dalila beside her.Claudia turned toward the sofa and felt a sudden discomfort. She couldn’t quite explain why she distrusted the matriarch’s assistant.She remembered Dalila’s brief interactions with Christopher...“Do you really need to be here?” Claudia finally asked.Da
Chapter 973 She’ll Pay for This Too!
Patricio sat alone in his living room, dressed in loose sleepwear, sunk into an armchair that suddenly felt far too small for his anxiety. The silence of the apartment was nearly suffocating him, each passing minute sharpening his worry about Katrina’s absence.When the phone finally rang, he lunged for it with relief.“Hello! My love, you finally answered—”“This isn’t Katrina,” came a firm male voice. “This is Mark.”Patricio stiffened at once. “Mark Ferro?” he asked, alarmed. “Why are you holding Katrina’s phone?”“Mr. Nogueira, listen carefully,” Mark said, his tone cold and controlled. “Your girlfriend came to my house. She disturbed my wife’s peace, and when she left, she refused any escort from my staff. A maid found her unconscious near the staircase, with traces of blood on the steps. An ambulance has already been called.”Patricio sprang to his feet as if the chair had betrayed him. “What did you say?” he shouted. “My girlfriend fell down the stairs?”“That’s correct,” Mark
Chapter 972 I Didn’t Want This!
The door to the master suite swung open, and Mark leaned into the corridor just as Regis came running toward him, hastily tying a robe over his pajama trousers.“What’s going on?” Mark demanded. “That sounded like Domitila.”Regis grimaced. “Lord Ferro, I thought the walls of your suite were soundproof.”“Twice tonight, piercing screams made it through,” Mark replied grimly.Briana appeared beside him; curiosity etched across her face. “What’s happening?”From below, Domitila’s voice rose again, sharp with panic, calling for Mark to come downstairs at once.“We’re going down,” Mark said, already moving.He had not expected Briana to follow, but she did, keeping pace with the two men as they descended.In the vestibule, the sight that greeted them froze everyone in place. Katrina lay unconscious on the marble floor, her body twisted at the foot of the staircase.It took only a glance to understand what had happened. She had fallen (no, she had rolled) down the stairs. Briana gasped, he
Chapter 971 Lucky Too Soon
“Now that you’ve seen it, leave and never come back,” Briana stated with chilling indifference.Turning her attention to the servants, she added, addressing Regis and Julian, “This is the last time Miss Vasconcelos enters here without a prior invitation, understood?”“Yes, Mrs. Ferro!” Regis confirmed.Julian gently took hold of Katrina. “Come on, Miss Vasconcelos...”Katrina snatched her arm away. “I know the way out!”She shot Briana a look of pure venom, as if everything was her fault, before retreating with slow, heavy steps, defeat weighing heavily on her shoulders.“Whew! Looks like we finally closed the book on that one, huh?” Regis sighed in relief.“Finally,” Briana agreed.******Christopher’s phone began to ring somewhere on the nightstand, its sound muffled beneath a chaos of movement and noise: breathy laughter, bodies shifting, and the unmistakable, rhythmic commotion of lovemaking vigorous enough to rattle the headboard.For a moment, nothing happened. Then an arm final
