Knock sounded at the door, and Emily entered
"Adam!" Emily gasped, her concerned eyes falling on han as she rushed to his side. She hugged him out of nerves, causing him to cry out, "Ouch!"
"Oh. I'm sorry. Adam." Emily mumbled, her voice filled with regret.
Adam chuckled. "No worries. I'm fine. It's just that some of the wounds are deep and painful when touched. Otherwise, I'm tough as a rock," he boasted, making both Mia and Emily smile. "How are Gia and Maximo?" Mia asked.
"They're good. I sent them to school before coming here," Emily replied. "I brought some clothes and food for you, Mia. If you want to stay here for the day. I can manage things at the office. Mia smiled with gratitude. "Thank you, Emily. However, I have to still stay with Adam as we need to file a complaint against Louise Moreau," she mumbled, her voice tinged with determination. "Louise Moreau?!" Emily asked, confusion and shock evident in her expression.
"Yes, he's the one behind Adam's kidnapping." Mia informed her.Nôdaisynovel.com is the owner.
Emily gasped. "He's a big shot with connections to even the governor. Filing a complaint against him will be very difficult. However, since it's about Adam Whitmore, the police might take an interest in the case. Still, catching Louise Moreau seems almost impossible. Emily said, shaking her head with disappointment.
"Don't worry, I won't sit back until justice is served. Louise will be behind bars," Mia declared with unwavering determination.
"I'm with you, Mia," Emily said with a supportive smile. "No matter what, we're in this together and will fight for justice."
Adam smiled softly, touched by the strength and solidarity of the two women fighting for him. Though he had connections of his own and could potentially take action against Louise, he chose to remain silent and appreciate their support.
Suddenly, Emily's phone erupted with a barrage of notifications as more people began sharing breaking news on social media. Frustrated, she pulled her phone from the pocket of her formal pants, her work suit still crisp and professional despite the hospital setting. She had planned to head to the office after visiting Adam. She glanced at the screen, intending to silence it, but her eyes widened in horror as she caught a glimpse of the headlines. Quickly, she unlocked her phone and opened the news app. "Mia, you need to see this," Emily said, her voice trembling with both fear and urgency. "It's everywhere."
Mia, sensing the gravity of the situation, moved closer to Emily. "What is it?"
Emily's fingers shook as she scrolled through the headlines. "It's about Adam's kidnapping. The news is everywhere. It's gone viral on social media too. I can't believe it."
With a confused and curious frown, Adam grabbed the remote from the table beside his bed and turned

everyone in the room. Finished
The anchor's voice echoed with a gravity that filled the room. "Yes, it's true. Louise Moreau has committed suicide after confessing to his crimes in a self-recorded video. We have that video for you, and it's shocking for all of us," the anchor said. The screen changed to show Louise Moreau, looking disheveled and resigned. He began speaking with a somber tone.
"I have kidnapped Adam Whitmore and attempted to kill him. Fearing exposure, I am choosing to end my life rather than face the prospect of spending the rest of my years in prison, enduring the embarrassment and shame. I also attempted to frame Mia Peterson on multiple occasions, trying to harm her both professionally and physically. To Mia Peterson and Adam Whitmore, I owe an apology. This is my atonement for all my sins."
The screen shifted back to the news anchor. "When we discovered this video, Louise Moreau was already deceased. Police have confirmed it was a suicide. Stay with us for more updates as this story develops," the anchor said before the screen faded to an advertisement.
Mia and Adam watched in stunned silence as the news unfolded. The gravity of Louise Moreau's confession and subsequent suicide hung heavy in the room, difficult to believe.
"How...?" Emily's voice faltered, her throat dry from the shock. "I mean, I can't believe he chose life.

Adam shook his head slowly, his expression reflecting the disbelief Mia felt.
"Yeah, given his reputation and the number of scandals he was involved in, it seems so out of character. He was known for being shameless, almost invincible. This... this is unusual."
Mia, however, remained silent, her mind racing with unsettling realizations. The image of one person loomed in her thoughts, a figure known for his ruthlessness and absolute power: Alessandro Valentino, the Italian don.
Alessandro had a reputation for being merciless, never leaving an enemy alive. Yet, despite the fearsome tales about him, Mia found herself conflicted. Alessandro had taken action, making Louise pay for his crimes, something the legal system could not have achieved due to lack of evidence. In Alessandro's world, he was the ultimate authority, the court and the judge.
The thought should have terrified her, knowing that her devil mafia husband was a man of such power and brutality. Instead of feeling fear, Mia experienced a growing intrigue and an unexpected attraction toward Alessandro. Despite the dark, ruthless nature of his world, she found herself increasingly drawn to him.
