"Let go!" I spat through gritted teeth, glaring at Emiliano who held my wrist. For the first time, I saw concern in his usually blank eyes.

"Claire...you..." he began, but I silenced him with a raised hand.

"This is between Andrea and me. Stay out of it," I said sternly. He nodded, letting go, and I rushed into the mansion, ignoring the servants' greetings. My heart pounded as I scanned the living room for those amber eyes I was desperate to see.

"Miss Claire," Mark, the butler, greeted me with a smile.

"Where is Andrea? I need to see him!" I demanded. Mark's smile faded, his gaze dropping.

"Madam, he doesn't want to see anyone," he muttered. I clenched my fists.

"Never mind, he will see me," I said, storming towards Andrea's room. The door was ajar. I pushed it open, and my world shattered.

Andrea was in bed with Aurora. My strength left me, my hands quivered, and tears welled up. My phone slipped from my grasp, catching Aurora's attention. She turned to me with a triumphant smirk, her body still moving on top of him.

"Andrea!" I cried out. He pushed Aurora off him, scrambling out of bed, completely naked. Nausea hit me.

"Claire!" he called, stepping towards me, but I moved back, collapsing to the floor.

"She won. She really did," I muttered, glaring at Aurora. She had promised to take everything from me, and she had succeeded. My life was crumbling, and now the love of my life was in the arms of my enemy.

"Claire, I..." Andrea tried to say, reaching out.

"Stay away!" I screamed, my voice echoing with pain. My heart felt like it was being torn apart, the love I once held so dear was now a jagged shard piercing through my soul.

Andrea's eyes were filled with regret, but it was too late. The damage was done. As I lay on the floor, broken and defeated, I realized that everything I believed in was a lie. The person I loved most had become my greatest tormentor, and there was no coming back from this.
